The special committee on annual re-
ports of officers recommended that the
CITY clerk advertise for bids for publish
ing the same in book form and that they
be taken upon the publication OF 5UO,
1000 and 1000 copies.
The mayor vetoed the demand of Louis
Callosendo for $3.50, for interpreting,
and the veto was sustained.
THE LANKERsHIM PROTEST.
At the afternoon session, when it was
called to order, all members were pres
ent. The J. B. Lankershim protest
against the report of the commissioners
on the opening of Los Angeles street
was taken up.
G. w. Glowner stated that the expecta-
ton that the matter might be adjusted
| had not been realized. His client, he
said. had been uniustly assessed, 80
that the opening of the street would be
equivalent to q confiscation. His client
desired to have the street opened on
fair basis, and Mr.. Glowner asked that
the matter be referred to some commit
! tee with view to settlement without
resort to the courts.
On motion of Mr.. McGarry the matter
|
then referred to the board of public
works.
OPENING THIRD STREET.
The next order of business was the
hearing of protestants against the open
ing of Third street. No one
was present to be heard
and Mr.. Rees explained that the
majority report of the board of public
works included all the wishes of the
protestants. He moved that Mr..
Rhedes's minority report be filed. The
chair ruled this motion out of order,
and Mr.. Rees then moved that the petit
ton of the protestants be granted.
Major Bonsall left the chair. and In
the discussion said he was in favor OF a
sixty-foot street, but objected to the ex-
tension of the assessment district west
from Main street to Broadway.
Mr.. McGarry said that the recon-
mendation of the board of public works,
majority report, would probably meet
the appreciation of most OF the property
holders. He also said that If Major
Bonsall would understand that the as
sessment district was only to be ex-
tended to Spring streetinstead of Broad
wav, he would probably withdraw his
objections.
Captain Afford called for the
reading of the protests. There
were seven documents protesting
against the ordinance of intention as
drafted. Mr.. Rhodes spoke for the pro-
testants, representing the opinion in bis
minority report, advocating new pro-
proceedings.
Mr.. Rees changed his motion so as to
denv all the protests, and this amended
form was adopted. He then moved that
both majority and minority reports be
, laid on the table.
Mr.. Bonsall rose to point of order, and
maintained that the order was action
on the final ordinance.
The minority report was laid on the
table, and the majority report wal
, adopted.
