THE PLATFORM.
The Silver Republican party of Los
Angeles city does hereby adopt the fol-
lowing platform, the various planks, or
sections, whereof, we believe, express the
desire of the people of this city regard
ing the manner in which the affairs
thereof should be administered:
Each candidate of this party, whose
name is subscribed hereto, Is hereby SOL
emnly pledged. i'm virtue of his said sig
nature, to labor faithfully and persist
emily for the carrying out in the fullest
measure of the spirit of this platform,
which is hereby presented to the citi-
zens of the city of Los Angeles.
Section 1.-Believing that the enjoy
ment of the use of water equally with
that of light and air, should be subject
to no private control, we unqualifedly
demand the ownership by the city of
the source of it's water supply and the
means of distributing it's water. We are
unalterably opposed to a renewal of the
present lease or franchise of the City
Water company, or the granting to any
private interest of a like lease or fran
chise.
If it shall be found desirable that the
city shall acquire any of the property of
the City Water company we demand
that only an equitable consideration be
allowed therefor. based upon the ac-
tual cash cost of duplicating said prop
erty at the time of such purchase.
Section 2.-We demand municipal con-
troll of all public conveniences, with
view, as conditions become favorable,
to the ultimate ownership thereof by
the municipality.
We specially condemn the extor-
tionate charges of the Sunset Telephone
company for telephone service, and
pledge ourselves to afford to competition
every facility possible.
Section 3.-We demand rigid enforce
ment of the Sunday (Saloon) Closing
law, as we'll against saloons of wealth.
influence and elegant appointments as
against those more poorly circum-
stanced.
Section I've believe that economy
should be carefully exercised in the
conduct of the city government, and to
that end we demand such change In our
city charter as shall provide for fair
reduction Of the salaries OF oflicials Of
