AROUND THE CITY HALL.

A Storm Water Proposition-Commit
Meetings.
The regular meeting of the city coun-
Gil supply committee was held yester-
day. Considerable time was spent in
looking over and passing upon requisi-
tions. Nothing Of particular Importance
was done.
The finance committee met in the city
hall yesterday morning, but outside Of
auditing the customary warrants nothing
of consequence took place.
A petition was filed with the city
clerk yesterday, to be presented to the
council, asking that body to instruct the
city engineer to meet with the county
engineer, committees of councilmen,
supervisors and citizens to devise ways
and means of dispoBing of storm water

HOUSE RENTS.
A single advertisement OF 30-roomed
lodging house brought nearly so appli-
cants in propria persona to one office
last week, besides number OF inquiries
by mail. But the great demand is still
for small priced dwellings. One promi-
nent agent on Broadway declares he will
quit the house renting business to be
rid of the annoyance of having nothing
to eatisfy the crowds of inquirers. The
demand has set in unusually early this
year, because of the announcement that
the public schools will open month
earlier than usual.
REPAIRS TO PAVING.
The street superintendent has applied
to the council for the appointment of
an inspector over the work OF repairs
upon paved streets. This is a needless
expense and will only eerve to provide
a job for some political hanger-on, who
will find congenial employment in
lounging around with hands in pockets
while he whiffs at his good cigar and
perhaps allows the smoke to get in his
eyes. Repairs on accepted paved streets
should be done by the city and the su.
perintendent should be responsible for
the work being we'll done.
AS TO STREET CORNERS.
The rapid growth of travel in this city
will soon oblige something to be done
to accommodate the wheel traffic in the
principal business thoroughfare. The
most dangerous corners for drivers are
on Spring at the several Intersections OF
Temple, First and Second. At these
points there is congestion OF cable aud
electric car linee, leaving very narrow
space for carriages. A considerable re-
lief could be afforded by rounding off
the corners of the sidewalk at
First and Second, and this
should be done without delay. An
ingenious plan has been proposed for the
corner of Temple street. 1t is to take
away entirely the sidewalk in front OF
the Downey block, giving that much ad-
ditional width to the road. Then, by
pushing back the store fronts say ~
feet, sidewalk could be made which
would be covered by the projection OF
the second story OF the block. The stores
being very deep, can we'll afford to give
the room, and the plan is good one to
carry out, even il a little expensive.

BETTING ON WHEAT.

A Curious Wager Made by Two Los
Angeles Men.
Two Los Angeles citizens, A and B,
have peculiar speculation on hand in
the way Of standing bet on the price
of wheat. Both agree that the price of
wheat is going to advance. The progress
sive bet is to continue till January l.,
1894. Every day that the price OF wheat
advances over the price Of the previous
day A wins $5 from B, and every day
that the price Of wheat declines from
the price of the previous day wins So
from A.
1t is admitted that the price of wheat
will be higher on the 1st day Of January
than it is now, but B claims that it will
advance more in one day than it will
decline in three, and hence that it will
decline on more days than it will ad.
vance, and therefore he will win more
than he will lose. After eight days.
betting B is $40 ahead.

Another Miracle.

EDITORS HERALD: Some three weeks

paper an article headed "Sule Enough

ence OF A. G. Sutherland, the we'll
known actor and dramatic writer, who
has so long held down the boards at the
Park theater in this city. None can dis
pute that Mr.. Sutherland's experience
was wonderful, and the cure for liquor a
miracle. In reading the article felt
that Mr.. s. had reason to rejoice at the
knowledge that he was free man, free
from oneof the greatest curses that man
is or seems to be heir to, drink; and as

THE FINANCIAL CONDITION.

Return tn Former Prosperity Can Be
Confidently Expected.
Los Angeles has seen the worst times
during the past two months that have
ever been known here. The banks fail
ing have caused the strongest men to
view with apprehension the general un-
easinees existing. Men have been
thrown out of employment simply
through the stringency of the money
market. But now the scene has changed.
Banks have resumed their business,
men have again found employment, and
throughout this vicinity general conf
dence is returning. Los Angeles people
are feeling easier. For instance, see
how freely they spend their money, now
that they see times have changed for the
better. A HERALD reporter passed the
store OF Gordan Bros, opposite the Ma
deau, the leading tailors. of this city.
yesterday, and on seeing the crowds OF
people congregated on the sidewalk, he
had happened, and he stopped
to investigate the cause. He was in
formed by Mr.. Gordan that they had
opened up their store and were selling
their overstocked supply OF fine goods at
half price, and that was the cause OF
such rush.
Never in the history of this city have
we known. of such a sudden change OF
business. Friday there was scarcely
enough business to warrant their keep
ing open, and yesterday the people were
standing in single file waiting to get
measured. About 10 tailors in that es-
tablishment were kept busy taking
measures for suits and trousers while
the reporter was present.

plain" that it entails large amount of
extra work. The fact is that no less
sum than $6947 has been received al
ready this year by the county tax col
lector as penalties upon overdue pay
ments of taxes. This would indicate
that large body Of taxpayers were glad
to take the benefit Of every extension of
time allowed by law. A system of
monthly payments would be great
boon. 1t would have to be arranged on
simple plan, very different, of course,
to the cumbersome aud unwieldy sys-
tenn of half yearly payments now. used.
1t should also include rebate on every
payment made in advance of time, as
well as penalties for delinquencies.
POINTER ON CONTRACTS.
A decision OF the supreme court of
this state just made in the case of Semi
Tropic Land and Water company We.
Shiveley, is Of particular interest to reo-
pie who bought or sold real property on
contracts providing for deferred pay
ments. Shiveley, itappears, purchased
OF the above company in the boom year
OF 1887, and after making one payment,
defaulted in the others, which matured
in 1889. In 1890 he was notified to pay
up or surrender his contract. He did
neither, and the company instead OF
beginning its threatened suit of FORE
closure, rashly sold the land to new
purchaser, relying apparently upon
Shively'a acquiesence or indifference.
He disappointed the company once
more, for he began q suit to recover
the money he had paid on the ground,
that the company had, by its on act, re-
scinded the contract with HIM and
therefore should refund his first and
only payment. The lower court gave
