The water Question.

EDITORS. HERALD: Another meeting
Of the council has come and gone, and no
action taken ON the Shaffer and Pierce
water proposition.
1t is charitable to suppose that our city
fathers have been SO much occupied in
the selection of that important official, a
police commissioner, that the water
question, involving millions of dollars,
has escaped their attention.
/, for one, as taxpayer, am opposed
to the city ownership OF the water
works. In my Judgment it would result
in making places for lot OF tax-eaters
to hold sinecures, and our water rates
would be increased by either direct or
indirect taxation.
But the popular question apparently
is, whether the city shall acquire the
works now, or at the end of five years.
Let us hear from you, gentlemen of
the Committee of the Whole, 30 that
the people can vote on the proposition
to accept or reject the offer of Messrs.
Shaffer and Pierce. Respectfully,

EDITORS HERALD: The old soldiers
at this home thoroughly and heartily
appreciate the motives which prompted
the gentlem en- from Pasadena and San
Jacinto to start contribution to give
them Thanksgiving dinner, and are
glad to know that they still have some
friends on the outside world. A mis-
taken impression, however, has gone
out by some recent publications in the
Los Angeles papers. If the government
is too poor to give US thanksgiving
dinner the members of the home are
amply able to furnish the means to pro-
vide one themselves, as the greater por-
ton of them either draw pensions or
derive a small income by doing extra
duty, and would not hesitate to con-
tribute something for the very praise-
worthy object II the necessity to do 80
were manifest. In the meantime our
friends on the outside will always be
held in the warmest esteem for this
evidence of their good will L. X.

The City Bridges.

EDITORS HERALD: In order to protect
life and property an ordinance relating
to buildings in the city of Los Angeles
was passed by the city council in the
year 1891. This ordinance is general
specification for the construction Of
bridges, both proper and much needed.
When it is necessary for the protection
of life and property to issue general
specifications for the construction Of
buildings, it must also be regarded as q
proper measure to have general specifi-
cations for the construction of bridges,
as life and property are as much and
even more at jeopardy on weak and
pobr constructed bridge ss in an i'm
properly constructed building.
1t would be deplorable to witness a
breakdown Of any of our bridges, but it
10 very likely to occur II steps are not
taken to prevent it. We must bear in

mind that some of the bridges over the
Los Angeles river were constructed
great many years ago, before anybody
thought that Los Angeles in such short
time would be city of such magnitude
as it is today. At that time there was
no hauling OF heavy loads; accordingly
the bridges were constructed for light
traffic, but as the city has grown 90 has
the weight of loads, and consequently
some OF the bridges have not the ade-
quate strength, and to such degree
that they must be considered dangerous.
| shall not now go into the details and
point out the defects nor the mode to
remedy these in the several structures,
but 1T will be sufficient to say that If
nothing is done to put them in proper
condition and to prevent disaster, we will
some day hear of come serious accident.

SAN BERNARDINo, Oct. 23.--This morn
