THE DEMANDS REJECTED
Salaries of the Councils Health In
spectors Hung Up

Although the city council passed the
salary demands of their appointees as
health inspectors over the mayors OBJ
jections, the men have not yet received
their money, nor Is there any likelihood
of their doing so, at least until the lc-
gallty of the councils action is confirm
ed by the courts, which, at the best,
does not seem probable. Auditor Mich
OILS yesterday refused to audit the de-
mands. and sent them back to the coun-
ell with letter giving his reasons for
this action, and the matter was to have
again come before the body today, but
Will probably be postponed until Mon
day next, on account of the absence of
Councilmen Toll and Mathuss In re-
turning the demands, the auditor sent
the following letter, only the name being
changed in each instance:
Los ANGELES April 6, 1897.
To the Honorable Council of the City
of Los Angeles: Gentlemen-I herewith
return to your honorable body the de-
mand of Frank Mcclellan for $50 for
salary as sanitary inspector for the
month of March, 1897, having rejected
the same for the following reasons:
Section 124 of the charter of this city
gives the power TO the board Of health
to appoint this officer, and that board
has exercised its power by appointing
another person who was acting as san
itary inspector for the month of March,
1897. and the latter is therefore entitled
to the salary claimed In the rejected
demand, and If the city pays this demand
it will necessarily be obliged to pay the
money again to the appointee of the
board of health, If / am correct in my
Interpretation of the law governing my
action. Respectfully,
T. E. NICHOLS, City Auditor.
In the meantime the boards appointees
have not been idle. All of their salary
claims have been assigned to one of their
number, and suit will probably be in
stituted in the superior court this morn
ing to recover their salaries.
Both sides are very anxious to have
the matter settled, as neither side can
get any money until the case is passed
upon by the court.

IN BAD CONDITION
Principal Business Streets in Need
of Repair

The wretched condition of Main and
annoyance to Superintendent Drain, and
while the existing condition of affairs
would be bad enough at any time, it is
especially unfortunate just at present
when the city should be at it's best for
the Fiesta. Some weeks ago Mr.. Drain
called the attention of the council to the
condition of these streets. and the folly
of spending any more money in trying
to patch them up, at the same time sug-
gesting that the only thing that could
be done would he to resurface them. The
council evidently agreed with MIR. Drain,
for they ordered him not to do any more
patching, and the superintendent
thought that immediate steps would be
taken for putting on a new asphalt sur
face. But nothing has been done, and
now Fiesta has come. and the principal
streets are now in a worse condition
than for years. The street railway COM
panies are getting the space between
their rails in good shape as rapidly as
possible. but nothing Is being done out
side. Mr.. Drain said yesterday that he
was absolutely powerless to do anything
with the small force at his command,
as he had as much asphalt work In
sight on Broadway alone as he could
possibly do by Fiesta, and that the only
thing now that was practicable would
be to at once have the work done by
contract. A delegation from the Fiesta
committee will probably wait on the
council this morning. and ask them to
at once take steps to put the streets
through which the procession will pass
in good condition.

ANOTHER LIBEL SUIT
Mrs. Brady Wants $4,000 of the
Times Money

The Brady libel suit against the Times
Mirror company was again taken up in
department three of the superior court
yesterday This is a suit in which the
plaintiff, Mrs. Mary Brady, is seeking
to recover 5000 damages for an alleged
lbelous article published in the Times
January ., 1893, in which Mrs Brady is
referred to as "a certain grass-widow."
Mrs. Brady is also referred to as an "at-
tractive widow" and the article purports
to relate an escapade between this
woman and an ex-supervisor Of San
Diego county.
Mrs. Brady thinks that she was the
person referred to by these terms and
is now seeking to secure a monetary
salve In the sum Of $4,000 to plaster
swer to the complaint the defendants
have set up that the article was not IL
beious and that all the statements made
are true. 1t is an old case and was
tried before In Judge York's court not
long ago.
Most of the day was consumed secur-
ing a jury, and but very little testi-
mony was taken. Mrs. Brady was on
the stand for a short time and testified
to materially the same facts as at the
former trial. ]. H. Woolman, the su-
pervisor referred to in the article as
taking a too kindly interest in Mrs.
Brady's welfare, was also examined.
The case will be continued this morn
ing.

Corn Supper

Yesterday was a busy day with the
woman's auxiliary of the Y. NJ. c. A.,
but they were rewarded by substantial
results In augmenting their furnishing
fund. The public were invited to corn
and tamale supper, for which they were
to pay a nominal sum, and between
seventy-five and one hundreA Npeople
responded. In the banquet hall on the
upper floor four long tables, decorated
with yellow marguerites, marigolds and
segregated pop corn, were laden with
corn fare: tamales and salad, corn
bread, corned beef, corn stewed, corn
pudding avi corn coffee" From o'clock
until half-past seven the tables were
filled with appreciative feasters, who
were deftly served by the young women
who are members of the auxiliary. At
8 o'clock, following the feast of reason,
there was a flow of soul. and a program
made up of trios for mandolins and
guitar, male and female quartets, a
vocal duet and a cornet solo, entertained
another large audience in the. audito-
rum. Altogether it was successful
day from every point of view. and not
the least attractive thing about it was
the unique program. which was heart
shaped, with outside covers of corn
husk tied with narrow yellow ribbon
to the inside leaves, on one of which
was inscribed the dinner menu and on
the other the musical numbers in gold.

A basement and another from the hall
way of the Downey block. The above
named detectives were detailed upon the
case, and in a short time secured sufficient
evidence to justify a complaint against

THE CITY CENSUS
The Ordinance Will Be Adopted This
Morning

The ordinance providing for the taking
of the city census will be presented in
the council this morning. The document
was ready yesterday afternoon, with the
exception of filling in the names of few
of the seventy enumerators. This has
been more difficult job than would ap-
pear at first glance, as all of them have
to be upon the printed great register,
and other qualifications must be looked
up. 1t must not be inferred that there
has been any lack of applicants, how
ever. for If the number had been five
times as large there would have been
some to spare. 1t Is expected that the
work will be completed In about five
days, or a week, at the outside, and the
pay is $3.50 per day. Under the law it
is only necessary to take the name,
street and number and the necessary
blanks have already been printed. The
work of classification. as has been stated.
will be done by the letter carriers and
pestoffice employees. If there is no hitch.
1t Is expected that the enumerators will
be started out Friday morning.

but It Is the effect that such action would
have on other individuals and corpora

would seize upon this action of the coun-

county surveyors office receive $3.50 per
day, the city employees say they will
obligate themselves to pay into the city
