and nothing had been done. He did
not know what could be done, but he
thought the matter should be referred
to the city attorney for some action that
would hurry up the dilatory contract
ors.
You should have Attorney John
Jones here to talk to you," sung out
President Teed, in his most sarcastic
manner.
II never did have any confidence in
Mr. Jones statements" chimed In Mr.
Munson, land I told him so at the time.
This idea of having special machinery
constructed for mixing asphalt is all
bosh If they had meant business they
could have had all the machinery neces-
sary on the ground within ten days"
Then some more of the councilmen
took a shy at Attorney Jones and the
Main street contractors and, after they
had all gone on record, the matter was
again referred to the city attorney to de-
wise some means for prodding up Mr..
Long and his associates, and the coun-
Gil adjourned until next Monday.

CITY HALL NOTES
The Committee on Public noraIs to 1eet To-
cay-Brief Mention

The committee on public morals of the
city council will meet in the council
chamber this afternoon at 2 o'clock to
hear the final discussion OF the proposed
Sunday-clos ordinance. Councilman
kingery, the chairman of the commit
tee, has been absent on his vacation at
Catalina during the past week, but will
undoubtedly be on hand. The attorneys
of the advocates of the measure have
been further looking up the law. and
Mr.. Gould will proba bly, present another
brief for the benefit of the city attorney
Rev. Mr.. Mclean and other champions
of the measure Will also probably be on
hand. The opponents of the proposed
legislation, led by Elder owen of the
Seventh-day Adventists, will also be
represented.
The city superintendent of schools
is sending out notices to teachers elect
ed for the coming year that if contracts
are not signed by the 10th of the month
the places will be declared vacant.
Secretary Dandy of the city board of
education has gone to Santa Barbara
to spend the remainder of his vacation
Miss Thompson, the accommodating
and efficient stenographer of the city
clerks office. yesterday started in on
her two weeks vacation, part of which
she Will spend at Catalina. Miss
Thompson is one of the most conscien-
tious and hard working employees of the
city, and no one will be more missed
about the city hall.
The street superintendent will have
the assessment ready this morning for
the Improvement of OVerton street
The amount of money represented in
this improvement is $2052.92
y petition Will be presented to the
city council by number of transfers
this week to put a stop to the wholesale
removal of sand from the river bed by
machinery. They claim company has
put in steam scrapers and is loading
wagons with and by this means. The
company, the teamsters claim, is sell
ing sand a. so low a figure that they
have no chance to compete for business.
With the aid of machinery the company
is able to fill number of wagons while
the teamster. who is compelled to work
by hand, is filing one wagon. Council
man Munson says that he is in favor of
the council requiring the users of ma
chinery in the river bed to pay a IL
cense This, he thinks, would even up
matters.
The residents of Hamilton avenue,
between DAILY and Lecouvreur streets,
on the East Side, are in trouble. They
carried proceedings for the sidewalking
of the street through all its tortuous
processes and awarded a private con-
tract to lay cement sidewalk four feet
wide. Now crops up the fact that the
official curb is only four feet six inches
from the property line. and the property
owners and contractors are filing in
solemn procession into all the engineers
and attorneys offices to find out the
legal WaV to get out of this trouble.

American OIL company Is located.
Secretary Strasburg of the exchange
said in regard to the situation: II hate
very much to admit 1t, but the fact new
ertheless exists, that It is only the ques-
ton of few weeks till the oil industry
of Los Angeles will be thing of the
past. The American Oil company has
Just sunk a new well and the produc-
ton Is only about eight barrels. For the
last four months the supply has been
short 40, COO barrels of the consumption.
This is an average of 10000 barrels

furnaces here will again be using coal.

A FALL IN STATE TAXES
The Rate This Year Will Be But
40 Cents
THE CAUSE OF THE DROP
Rigid Economy Saves the People More
Than 80 Percent
Helped Ont by an Increase of 500, 1000, 600 In
the Valuation as Returned by
the ASSESSORS

The state tax rate for this year will
be 46 cents on the 500. Last year the
rate was 6Sk cents.
This remarkable reduction is based
on the figures of property valuation as
submitted by the county assessors and
auditors, says the San Francisco Exam
iner's Sacramento correspondent. The
state board of equalization has not COM
pleted it's work of reviewing and ad-
justing the assessments, but II is au-
thentically stated that there will be no
action which would make variation OF
more than fraction of a cent from the
46 cents schedule.
The country assessments are substan-
TALLY the same as last year, and it is be-
lieved that no important changes VIII
be decided upon by the board of equali-
zation. Railroad valuations for 1898
amounted to S43.01S $40. They will not
so any lower this year, though the South
ern Pacific is loudly waillng in the pres
ence of the eQualizers and presen ing
juggled figures to show that the lines
bearing the highest assessed valuations
are really struggling along under heavy
losses. Indeed. the railroad assessments
ought to be much higher this year on
the showing of a great increase of mile
age, for the Southern Pacific company
has kept right on building while prepaf-
ing assessment reports of heavy ana
continuous losses.
Governor Budd plainly declared him
self at yesterdays session against any
reduction on the juggled showing made
by Mr.. Huntington's company. but
whether the equalizers will venture to
raise the assessment above the $43.0lS,640
mark of last year is yet to be deter
mined.
1t is not on account of a materially
greater general valuation of property
that there will be a reduction of 22l2
cents in the tax rate. The reduction Will
be made because the money needed in
the state government is $2,23l 766 less
than the amount required year ago.
The economy is helped out by an in
crease of $50 900, 900 in the total valua-
ton as given in the returns filed by the
assessors, though this increase may be
raised or lowered when the board OF
equalizat ton goes over it.

the coinage OF both gold and silver
without discrimination against either
metal; that the only question left
open was the ratio. Do not forget

traction and organization of disaster.
What hope is there for the country

not silver legislation but legislation
by the advocates of the gold standard
