HIOVcO.
THE DoNEGAN TANNERY.
Mr.. Horton, attorney for about 220
signers to a seven-foot petition, appeared
before the council with an ordinance
which he wished to have adopted by the
council in defence of the city's health
He said that manufacturing city was
greatly to be desired, but there are sew
eral kinds of manufactures that are
offensive in the residence portion OF
great city, such as Mr.. sDonegan's tan
merry. He read the ordinance drafted
by him. Mr.. Innes moved that the city
attorney be instructed to bring in an
ordinance. Mr.. Nickel moved to amend
by reference to the board OF public
works. So ordered.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The public works committees report
was as follows:
In the matter OF petition No. 80, from
iH. B. Adams ct al, asking to have Com
mercial street sprinkled once a day. be-
tween Main and Alameda streets, we
recommend that the petition be referred
to the superintendent of street sprink-
ling, with the recommendation that he
have the same sprinkled on windy days,
as it is our opinion that sprinkling btu
men streets in hot weather does no
good, but is apt to cause the pavement
to rot. Adopted.
In the matter OF the strengthening OF
Loomis street, we recommend that the
property owners meet at the roome OF
the board of public works, in the city
hall, on Wednesday, May 8. 1898, at 2
o'clock p. M, and see if compromise
plan can be agreed upon. Adopted.
In the matter of petition No. 311, from
K. Kohn & Co. ct al, asking to have a
new ordinance passed regulating the
driving of stock through the streets OF
the city, we recommend the ordinance
submitted by this board, heretofore, and
tabled, be again taken up and placed on
Its passage.
The ordinance was then read by the
clerk.
The cattle ordinance involved quite
warm debate. Mr.. Gaffey eaid there
was no other city in the state where cat
tie could not be driven through the
streets at certain hours, unless it were
San Francisco. He said the people OF
the other interior towns were just as
proud OF their homes and as careful OF
their lawns and gardens as those OF Los
Angeles.
The councilman from the First ward
said that this was question as to
whether this was a.metropolitan city or
not. He thought it was. Men came
hither from all parts OF the coast aud
pronounced it the most progressive city
Of it's size in any OF the Pacific states.
No metropolitan city allows cattle to be
driven through the public streets or to
slaughtered within the city limits. He
wanted to see Los Angeles become real
metropolitan city, and he therefore want
ed to see the ordinance defeated. On
motion OF Mr.. Innes the ordinances was
put off for two weeks.
In the matter of ordinance No. 1891;
referred to this board, being the final
ordinance establishing the grade on
Ocean View avenue, between AlvsradO
and Bonnie Brae streets, we recommend
the same be placed on it's passage.
Passed.
In the matter Of the hole in pavement
on Spring street, in front OF the south
end of Temple block, we recommend
that the street superintendent have the
same repaired. Adopted.
In the matter OF petition No. 313, from
M. G. Fordham ct al, asking to have
streets. opened and extended, we recon-
mend that the same be granted, and the
city engineer make survey and map OF
the property to be taken for same and
furnish it to the city attorney to draft
the necessary ordinance. Adopted.
In the matter of petition No. 314 from
John E. jackson, in regard to property
claimed by him, extending into Seventh
street, we recommend that the same be
referred to the city attorney. Adopted.
Recommend that First street, from
Boyle avenue to Evergreen cemetery, be
sidewalked with cement sidewalk six
feet, except where already laid, and the
city engineer present the necessary ordi-
nance of intention. Adopted.
In the matter OF the bids submitted
for the improvement of Bartlett street.
from Montreal street to Beaudry avenue,
we recommend the acceptance OF the

for work complete, and that the accom-
panying resolution of award be adopted
Adopted. Referred to the city attornes
In the matter OF the notice OF sale q
franchise asked for by the Pacific Raj
way company over Kuhrts street su
other streets. we recommend that tAe
following be inserted: That no priv
ileges are granted to the use of the
Kuhrte-street bridge other than the
rights heretofore granted by other ordi-
nances. Also the conditions regulating
transfers from their lines to other lines
operated by them, or other roads where
they intersect.
TEMPLE-sTREET GRADE.
Mr.. Gslbrsith read a long petition in
behalf of the Temple-street property
holders, asking that the street be graded
down 80 as to afford an easy route into
the city,. lie said that while the street
remained in its present condition. peo-
pie could neither sell, lease nor mort
gage their property. An act was
passed at the last legislature to facili-
tate all these cases; and as the act had
become law nearly 80 days ago, we ask
telief under its provisions, Several
bther gentlemen, property owners and
taxpayers on Temple street, spoke to
the same question, which was finally
ieferred to the city attorney to draft an
ordinance.
