On motion Of Mr.. Munson, the matter
was referred to the finance committee.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BUDGET.


THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BUDGET,
The supply committee reported back
a number OF requisitions from the
board of fire commissioners and recon-
mended that they be allowed.
Mr.. Innes called for reading in de-
tail OF the requisitione. He said there
was no great amount of money, and the
purchase of new horses involved an out
iayof $400. He thought there was less
than $4,000 in the treasury to the credit
OF the fire department for the rest of the
fiscal year, and he was in favor of going
ahead slow.
Mr.. Munson said there was need of
horses to do the work OF the fire depart
ment, There was one horse in service
at the Brunswick hotel fire last Satur-
day, and this horse held up the neck
woke while the other horse pulled the
engine to the fire.
Mr.. Pessell moved to refer to the fire
commissioners.
Mr.. Gaffey-What's the good OF that?
Those requisitions have just come from
the fire commissioners.
But the council favored the reference,
and so it went back to the freYcommis.
sioners.
THE WEEKLY DEMANDS
came up, and one item was $40 for car
fare for the inspectors in the employ OF
the street department. The whole
batch of bills passed, when suddenly
Mr.. Nickel rose and said that there was
only one inspector in the street depart
ment in the employ Of the city. All the
rest were paid by the property holders
The demand, therefore, was reconsid-
cred and thrown out, TO be considered
by the finance committee.
THE TANNERY ORDINANCE.
The city attorney presented an ordi-
nance to prevent the erection of tanner
les within the corporate limits of the
city of Los Angeles, except by consent
of three-fourths Of the property holders
in the same block. The ordinance
passed ayes 8, nays 0.
INSPECTOR OF CEMENT.
There being large amount Of cement
at Inglewood and no one there to inspect
it, Mr.. Rhodes moved that J. W. Robi-
nett be appointed to act as inspector of
cement at that point at $3.50 per day.
The motion was adopted, as Mr.. Nick
ell approved the selection as being in
every way qualified.
THE SIXTH STREET MATTER.
The finance committee reported in
favor of cutting down the compensation
of the commissioners for improvement
of Sixth street, from 5000 to 800, Mr..
McIlmoil was in the council chamber
and said he thought that reduction Of
$50 was quite reduction enough. He and
his associates had given bonds for the
faithful performances of their duties and
this work had engaged their time for the
greater portion of 16 months. He did
not like the idea of going into the courts,
but said be would see his fellow COM
missioners about it. The matter went
over to the afternoon session for further
hearing.
BIDS AND PROPOSALS.
The bids of the following parties for
construction of the steel tank at the
back of the city hall, were then read

One of the best arguments for good roads
is contained in calculation recently pub
lished in one of the engineering papers. II
states that on the worst earth roads, moi
muddy, but sandy. a horse can draw only
twice as much as he can carry on his back
on fair earth road, three and half times
as much; on a good macadamized road
nine times az much on a smooth plank
ROAD, twenty-five times as much; on stone
track way, thirty-three times as much, and
on metal rails, fif.y.ogr times as much
The men who use the country roads car
therefore make money by improving the
roads rather than by buying new horses
every year or two.
