he stated that at the request of Mr.. Gri-

nance of intention for the improvement
of a portion of Thirty-second street. The
vote by which this ordinance had been
passed was reconsidered and later an
other ordinance providing for different
kind of improvement was adopted.
absence of any of the members, but
there was so much lobbying in the halls
and committee rooms that it was late,
very late, before a sufficient number to
constitute quorum entered the council
chamber. President Silver had spent
nearly an hour there waiting for the
other members and as soon as quorum
appeared he called order.
Every member of the council was
stopped as he entered the city hall by
some person interested in this or that
proposition. Most of the lobbying was
done by hackmen and others interested
in the defeat of the anti-hitching ordi-
nance When the morning session was
at last called to order the lobby was
crowded and every seat in the gallery
was taken. Those who expected un-
usual proceedings were disappointed,
however, for although much of import
ance came up at that session, the meet
ing had the appearance of being an Or
binary one. The hitching matter was
postponed until afternoon and the an
nouncement of this caused many of the
spectators to leave.
The first matter which came up was a
message from Mayor Snyder, in which
1t was reported to the council that
the contract for furnishing bread and
meat to the city prison had expired.
On motion of Mr.. Toll the clerk was au-
thorzed to advertise for bids for new
contract.
George X. Dodson, who since July held
the position of meat and milk inspector
as a deputy under Health Officer Pow
ers, sent in his resignation to take eff

He stated as his reason that the salary
was too small and that he had secured

GOOD PROSPECTS
Los Angeles Men Make Strike in
San Gabriel Canyon

Messrs. I. D. Smith and William
Kohlenberger arrived in town yester-
day from the San Gabriel canyon, about
fifteen miles above Azusa, where they
have been working two quartz claims
which they located some two or three
months ago. There are two lodges, aver
aging twenty-five inches to three feet
in width, in one of which they have sunk
a shaft twenty-five, and in the other
thirty-two feet deep, the shafts being
about 500 feet apart. The lodges grow
stronger as the work progresses, and the
last assays run from SIS to 5000 per ton
They have also been developing another
ledge, from six to eight feet wide of yell
low sulphurets of copper, running from
$22 to $3S per ton in gold. In this latter
ledge they have driven tunnel thirty
five feet long containing a shaft sixteen
feet deep. The claims are located about
a quarter of mile from the stream
and 1900 feet up the north side of the
mountain.

WANT LEGAL ADVICE
City Attorneys Opinion to Be Had
Before the Boiler inspection

The clash between the boiler inspector.
backed by the board Of examining en-
gineers, and the fire commissioners, as
to the authority of the former to inspect
fire engines and require license of fire
department engineers, reached the city
council yesterday in the form of a vol
luminous report from the board of en-
gineers. The report recites in detail just
what both sides contend. In brief the
board held that the ordinance under
which they acted made no exception OF
boilers on fire engines or their engineers,
and under that ordinance the board was
required to proceed against the en-
gineers if they refused to secure licenses
and against the fire commissioners il
they refused to allow the engine boilers
to be inspected 1t was stated that tn,
ordinance would be enforced to the let
ter, even to the securing of warrants ii
necessary, but before acting the advice
of the council was asked.
Mr.. Baker said: "I cannot understand
why the fire commissioners should OBJ
ject to the inspection of the fire engino
boilers by the inspector. No objection
would be made if the building inspector
wanted to examine the engine houses.
the plumbing inspector to look after thv
plumbing, or the health officer to in-
spect the sanitary condition of the quar-
ters. This objection is as unreasona-
BILE as objection to these other officials
doing their duty. The ordinance is
plain, and I, for one, believe in it's ell
forcement. 1t is to the interest of the
city to know that the fire engines are in
good condition. There is no doubt that
the engineers can pass the required ex-
animation and secure licenses"
The whole matter was referred to the
city attorney, with a request for one Of
his FLAT opinions" as to whether the or
dinance includes the fire engines. If he
sustains the position taken by the board
of examining engineers, that body will
enforce the ordinance.

Better inspection of meat will result
from the action of the council in re-

MAY BE RESURFACED
City Engineers Report in Regard to
Spring Street Improvement

In spite of the protest against the
proposed resurfacing of Spring street,
that much needed Improvement may yet
be made. AS was pointed out in The
Herald at the time that the protest was
filed, several flaws have been found
which may defeat it's purpose. The city
engineer, to whom it was referred sew
eral weeks ago for examination and in
vestigation reported on it yesterday as
follows

PROTESTS DENIED
Beaudry Avenue Accepted and Hoover
Street to Be Opened South

Hearing of protests from property
owners against the improvements of
streets that had already been completed
or which We're about to be begun, WAS
made the special order of business for
the beginning of the afternoon session
of the council. The first to be taken up
was that in relation to assessment dis
trict for the proposed widening of Belle
vue avenue. AS in this assessment it
is desired to include the proposed widen
ing of Buena Vista street, the petition
for which is now being circulated, the
hearing was postponed until the next
meeting.
In the matter of the protest of Mrs.
J. Van Dam Mrs. Alice G. Williams and
others against the acceptance of the
work done on Beaudry avenue between
First and Second streets, the board of
public works reported recommending
The herald., 1897-10-26

that the protest be denied. The report
was adopted. The hearing in this mat
ter was had at the session of the city
council two weeks ago.
The proposition to open Hoover street
from Washington to Bush, against
which there was a protest headed by j.
Lougheed, brought quite number OF
protestants to the council chamber. At
torney Edward Bacon represented a
number of them and attacked the petit
ton for the work by saying that it was
signed by a number Of persons through
misunderstanding of the facts. They
had been informed that the opening Of
the street would cost them nothing,
while the attorney claimed it would cost
at least $4,000, which the petit
toners would have to pay. Mr..
Hickson appeared in favor Of the
work and made long speech in
answer to what Mr.. Bacon had said,
declaring he was the person most inter-
ested in the matter financially. Several
other protestants spoke. At the con-
clusion of the hearing the protest was
denied.

But I don't believe that these things
can be repeated. The laborer who under
the promise of constant employment
surrendered his judgment to his en-
ployer has found that his employer can
not afford to hire him unless his buiness

the employer the promise Of sufficient
loans to carry on his business has con-
vinced the employer that the banker
cannot pay the amount loaned to him
when his business Is failing, and the
New York bankers who held out to the
banker in the communities throughout
the country the promise of accommoda-
tion find that they cannot discount paper
