To the Honorable Council: You having

geles the sum OF cents per cubic yard
for all sand and gravel by me removed
from the bed of the Los Angeles river
within the city limits, upon right to
such sand and gravel for period of ten
years and you having referred the ques-
ton as well as my proposition to the
board of public works several weeks ago.
and they having failed to take any action
or make any report whatever in regard to
the matter, | now wish to again offer
into the contract Just as it was formerly
approved by the council.
In case the city would rather receive a
cash offer for the sole privilege, | will
then give to the city of Los Angeles, for
the exclusive privilege OF removing sand
and gravel from the official bed of the
Los Angeles river, within the city limits,
the sum of $40, 900 per year payable either
monthly or semiannually, as you deem
best. Provided, however, that am given
the sole privilege for the term of ten
years, and that the city will guarantee
that | shall have the exclusive privilege
for the same and will pass such neces-
sary ordinances and will take all other
steps necessary to prevent any other per-
son than myself from removing sand and
gravel from such river bed. Yours re-
spectfully, III. H. METCALF.
