the city; we are also in favor OF revi-
sion of the charter in all other necessary
respects.
We further favor such action by our
state legislature as shall competently
provide for the consolidation of the Of
fees of county and city assessor, county
and city tax collector. county and city
treasurer, and county and city attorney;
and we pledge ourselves to persistently
exert our influence toward securing
proper legislation in this behalf.
We deplore the necessity to which city
officials are driven, of being compelled
to give the appointing of their deputies
and other clerical assistants to men of
wealth, as consideration to induce said
persons to sign the bonds of such OFF,
cials; and we demand that steps, proper
to correct this most unrepublican evil
be taken without delay.
Section 5.-We demand the abolition of
| the system of letting out city work by
contract. especially that of street
| sprinkling, street cleaning and collection
| and instead thereof are in favor of the
| city doing its own work by day labor
| under competent supervision, eight
| hours constituting working day and a
wage of not less than two dollars being
! paid therefor.
We demand that only such persons be
employed in the service of the city as
shall actually be required, and that nc
persons shall be employed who are not
citizens of the city and state.
| Section Eve demand that nc
street, within boundaries to be determin-
ed by ordinance, shall hereafter be
| graded or paved until said street is
severed and supplied with water and
gas mains, with proper service pipes ex-
tending to the property line of each lot
to the end that when strets are put in
good condition they may thus be main
tanned without necessity for disturbing
them by excavations for sewer, gas OF
water purposes.
Section I've demand that all street
car companies operating in this city
shall be compelled to carry into practice
the spirit of the ordinances wherefron
they derive their franchises, to the enc

2h cents for each way, ant
that such privileges shall not bs
conditional upon the purchase by SAID
children of any certain number of tick.
cts; but that said children shall enjoy
such privilege upon rendering the fare
Tor one round trip, whereupon they shall
be, entitled to return trip ticket.
Section S.-We demand such rear.
rangement Of the fire limits as shall sat
isfy discreet popular request therefor
Believing that better service may be
secured from a full-paid fire department
we demand that such change be inaug.
urated without delay.
Section 9.-Lastly, we strictly fayo,
the constant remembrance by all city
officials that they are the servants of
the most humble as we'll as of the most
influential OF our people, and that becom-
ing courtesy and strict attention to their
requests are eves due'to the public. We
demand that all city officials. and par
ticularly the heads of departments, shall
be constantly i'm personal attendance to
the duties of their Office during busi-
ness hours; and further. in this conpec-
ton. we deprecate the use of the inf1u-
ence of his official position by any per-
son on behalf of any particular party
or the devotion of time required in the
service Of the public to political pur-
Fposes or to affairs of private nature.

and then there was great applause.
j. L. Murphy arose and explained that

cause he was silver man. He had beer

active campaigners against the allied
| villainies of Los Angeles. which in this
