Municipal Matters.

The Council Committee on Claims
which gets together about twice year,
met last night, and took up some old
petitions in the hands otthe clerk. The
first claim considered was that Of Alice
Teeters, wife Of Hiram Teeters, who
complains that the sewer constructed
several years ago, extending from some
point East OF Wabash street, in wes-
terly direction along Delaware street TO
the river, has damaged her property on
that street, by reason OF the poor con-
struction Of the sewer, causing
gradual and continuous slipping OF the
ground. She fixed the damages already
sustained at $500.
Dennis O'Keefe, Esq, was present on
behalf of Mrs. Teeters, aud urged
prompt action on the part OF the COM
mittee. A motion was carried to defer
action until the property was viewed by
the committee, and the committee will
be called to meet Monday afternoon.
The old claim Of Catherine Church,
which has been before the committee
since 1891, was next taken up. This is
a claim for damages, caused by chang
ing the grade on North Market street
Messrs. c. P. Hamilton, architect, and
Louis Hartong, contractor, Will prooa-
bly, be appointed to look at the property
and estimate the damages, II any.
Another old petition was that OF
David Montgomery, claiming damages
TO the -four mill property on Twenty
ninth street by the STRENGTHENING OF
CaldwelPs run. AS Mr.. Montgomery
was not present or represented the com
mittee deemed 1t unwise TO take action
on the claim and it was dropped, after
which the meeting adjourned.
The Committee on Police was also
called to meet last night, but failed to-
secure a quorum. The Committee on
Petitions and Remonstrances is also
called TO meet next Monday night, to
take action on the applications FOR
LIQUOR licenses referred at the last meet.

The action Of the Health Committee
of the City Council, in ordering the dis
charge OF the Health Officers inspect

about the city. DR.. Mccoy stated yes
terday to REGISTER reporter, that be
has received about thirty complaints
since that time, which have been al
lowed to accumulate in his office, as he
cannot give the matter his personal at
tentIon. The question Of taking proper
precautionary measures, he regards as
a very grave one, and nnhesitatinglY as
serts that the Health Committee made
a very grave mistake.

QUITE number of the membe of
the Irrigation Congress yesterday went
down to Port Los Angeles on a special
train. 1t is needless to say that they
enjoyed their trip hugely. The weather
was perfect, and the Pacific ocean was
everything that heart OF man could de-
sire. There was no suggestion that the
wrecking OF a vessel was possible in
that noble and peaceful expanse OF
water. And yet the train that took the
excursionists down to the splendid new
wharf of the Southern Pacific railway,
above the Santa Monica cailon, under
the protection of the noble Point Dune,
left them in full sight of Point Firmn,
upon the rocks near which the Newb bern
lay breaking to pieces. These two
points form the eXtremities of a semi
circle in which vessels can lay as
securely, three hundred and fifty
days out of the three hundred
and sixty-five, as a steamboat in
the Mississippi river. The mystery
of that wreck will have to be told in the
chambers of underwriters. There seems
to have been absolutely no excuse for it.
Against the fog is to be placed the Jog
horn OF the San Pedro lighthouse, but a
trifing distance away. While it was
perfectly right and proper that the
members of the irrigation congress
should have been taken down to the
brim of the Pacific ocean, We confess
that we fail to see why there should
have been an excursion to Chatsworth
Park. Not one Angeleho out of hun
dred had ever heard of this nlace y

gions OF beauty and productiveness al

taxpayers would have the consolation

The remaining twenty-seven assistants
would be ample to do all the work as
well as it ever was done before. They
would be able to hold on to all the new
novels until they were dog-eared, and to
hand them out to the binderies when
they showed palpable signs of delapida-
ton. which is about the stage they
would reach the general reader in any
event.
The Herald in this instance is sim-
ply acting as an amicable intervenor.

ought to be proud to be allowed to be

the COWS out through the gate. Just
how it happened is not known, but
when Mr.. Doak looked up horrible

the judges wanted the race run over
again. The position of starter in rum
ming events is the important part OF the
race.
If an association wants running events,
some little attention must be paid to
this department. The gallopers are en-
titled to much consideration. They are
more popular with the mass OF race
goers than the trotter or the PAGER, and
are growing in favor every year. As a
matter of fact, there is no more jobbery
on the bob-tailE than on harness horses,
and in fact. nine-tenths of the howl
about jobbery is only talk.
