firm of Mackey & Young. which made a
lump bid without reservation to erect all
of the buildings for the sum of $3.50, OOO
This figure is believed to be within the
money on hand for the purpose. Sheldon
Borden appeared before the council ves-
terday and pleaded hard for an extension
of time before the bids we're opened his
argument being that by delaying matters
for few da-s the best interests of the
city would be subserved. The council,
however, sat down upon the proposition
hard.
The council ordered the assess ment for
sewering the western intercepting sewer
set aside.
The ordinance of intention to grade
Mathews street, from Brooklyn to Michi-
gan avenues, and the ordinance of inten.
ton 60 grade CASTELAR, street. from Belle
vue avenue to Ord street, were both
adopted.
When the petition of ]. B. Hughes was
read. asking that he be relieved from the
performance of the contract for the con-
struction of sewer on Sixteenth street
and other streets. on the ground that the
Los Angeles Traction company threatens
to institute injunction proceedings if its
road is disturbed, President iced took
the floor and asked that the petition be
denied. The city had right, ne raid, to
lay sewer on any street without inter
ference from any company and ne
thought the council ought to back Mr..
Hughes up in carrying out the contract.
The petition was denied.
j. b. Dockweiler appeared before the
council as the attorney of F. J. Mexican
and asked that Mr.. Mexican be relieved
frcm entering into the contract for the
ing irregularity in the proceedings. Mr..
Dockweiler's request was not acceded to.
The final ordinances to grade Grand
View avenue. from Ninth to Eleventh
streets, and Third street, from Crocker
to Santa Fe avenue, were adopted, after
which the council adjourned,
