essary to be taken for said removal.
number of motions on minor matters
were presented and referred to the
proper committees, after which there
was q long wait on the city attorney to
prepare the oil we'll ordinance.
THE OIL WELL ORDINANCE
The city attorney finally presented the
reconstructed oil well ordinance. The
measure provides that no oil well shall
be sunk or derrick erected within 1900
feet of the exterior boundaries of any
public park in the city of Los Angeles,
except Elysian and Echo parks, and in
the case of these two exceptions no wells
shall be sunk within 800 feet of the ex-
terror boundaries of the same. Every
day that such wells are maintained shall
constitute a separate offense,. punish
able by fine of not less than $40 nor
more than $100, or by Imprisonment in
the city prison for not exceeding fifty
days, or by both such fine and imprison-
ment
Councilman Hutchison did not think
that the ordinance was sufficiently clear
and explicit as to the territory covered,
but his colleagues did not agree with
him, and the measure passed under sus
pension of the rules, by vote of 8 to l.
Mr. Hutchison.
The clerk then proceeded to read very
peppery protest against the ordinance,
signed by l. w. Phelps, in which the
protestant proceeded to roast those who
had been active in getting up the ordi-
nance in the most approved style, but as
the measure had already been passed.
nothing could be done, and the document
was ordered filed.
STREET FORCE INCREASED
Councilman Baker moved that the
street superintendent be instructed to
put one team and three men from each
ward, and also to employ one sewer in
spector as a measure of temporary re-
lief.
The matter prevailed by unanimous
vote, and later the street superinten-
dent was notified that the men would be
nominated by the councilmen from the
various wards.
After ordering that the men be put to
work tomorrow the council adjourned
to Monday next, and the members re-
tired to the presidents room for pri-
vate conference

finds its sole demand in such cases as
this saloon Is opened for-that a house
should be licensed to facilitate vice or
that any man should be authorized to
conduct this dangerous business where
prosperity can be reached only by the
Immediate price of the bodies and souls
of depraved women and their more de-
praved associates
1T seems to your protestants that the
previous action of the city council order
ing the revocation of the Bauer license,
directed, as it was, against an inevitably
dangerous saloon rather than against the
man who ran 1t, was move in the right
direction. and as that order has never
been revoked, nor the reason for it
changed, 1t seems an unjustifiable act
for the commission to grant a new
license, and 1t gives abundant ground
for this protest from one of the
most conservative and most representa-
tive bodies of public men in the city.
We do, therefore, most earnestly reoues at
your honorable body to again revoke
the license which authorizes this saloon.

ORATORIO CONCERT.
A Successful Musical Event at Simpson
Tabernacle.

The oratorio concert was given last
evening to a good sized audience at
Simpson tabernacle under the direction
of Mr.. c. s. Cornell, who was assisted
by Miss Delphine Todd, soprano; Mrs.
Judd Saeger, contralto; Mrs. ]. H. Book,
mezzo contralto; Mr.. ]. H. Zinck, tenor;
Mr.. H. S. Williams, bass; Mr. H. E.
Clark, solo violinist; Miss Eva Ellis
worth, pianist; Mr.. Frank Colby, or
ganist.
The program of the evening opened
with three organ selections from Men
delssohn, played by Mr.. Frank Colby
in his best manner. The adagio, recita-
tive and allegro were all received with
great favor by the audience. This was
followed by Ring Out, Wild Bells"
(Damrosch) sung by the full chorus.
A trio, "Say, Where Is He Born" (Men-
delsshon) from the unfinished oratorio
of Christus, was sung by Messrs, Moore.
Cogswell and Cornell in manner that
prompted calls for more, though re-
sponse to the encore was not vouch
safed. A violin solo from Wienieawski
was next given in two parts by Mr.. Ed
win Clark. The Adagio Elequie, first
given, contained more technique than
music, and the Perpetual Movement
which followed 1t was chiefly notable a s
a test of endurance. The solo was en-
cored, and in response Mr.. Clark gave
a pretty romance by Tschetsulein that
captivated the audience with its melody.
A quartet, praise to God" Ode Thayer),
was sung by Messrs, Moore, Budlong,
Cogswell and Cornell, with baritone OBJ
ligato by Mr.. II. S. Williams, quite ac-
ceptahly, though an unfortunate slip
almost spoiled its conclusion.
The second part of the program was
taken wholly by the rendition of the ora
torio de Noel'' by C. Saint Saens. The
chorus of sixty voices. under the leader
ship of Mr.. Cornell, displayed excellent
training and with the organ and piano
accompaniment showed force and unity
that was exceedingly pleasing. The
solo work was exceptionally good. Miss
Delphine Todd, soprano, was in excel
lent voice and captivated the audience
The duet of Miss Todd and Mr.. Znck
the trio of Miss Todd, Messrs. Zinck
and Williams and the quartet of Miss
Todd, Mrs Saeger. Mrs. Book and MI
Williams were particularly pleasing
features of the oratorio.
