In his allegations. Horton sets forth
that the notice of publication was de-
fective in that II was not published in the
official paper of the city for ten consec-
Iutive days, as required by law; that the
notice was further defective in that It
did not contain statement that 1t ie the
intention Of the city council to grant
such a franchise; and 1t also fails to
state that the same will be granted to
the highest bidder, as required by law.
There are other allegations set up by
Horton. as follows: The ordinance as
advertised Is defective by reason of its
stating that said franchise will not be
granted to any person or persons. firm
or firms, but to "a corporation" The
terms insisted upon in the ordinance
would defeat fair. open and public COM
petition for the purchase of such fran
chise. 1t Is alleged that the deeign was
for the purpose of restricting bids and
proposals for the purchase of franchise
to one bid. that of the Home Telephone
company. The complaint goes on to al
lege:
THAT under and by terms of the ordi-
nance, the purchaser or grantee of said
franchise will be compelled to pay to the
city the sum of 5 cents per month upon
each and every telephone owned by
such grantee. in use in Los Angeles. and
also to furnish for the use and benefit of
the city. free of cost, fifty telephone in
of which prevents free,e
open and competitive bidding for the
purchase of said franchise, and is con-
trary to law" There are other features
in the ordinance that Horton objects to.

DELINQUENT CITY TAKES
The Amount This Year Il Approx
mately $25, 900

The time for the payment Of the last
half of city taxes for 1896-s7 expired at
o'clock yesterday afternoon, with
about $25.000 uncollected of total Of
s64S, ,OO0 This is a very small percentage
of delinquents comparatively, but still
1t is heavy increase over last year
From now on taxes can be paid with s
per cent penalty until the property is
advertised, when the cost of the adver-
tisement and costs is added. This con-
tinues until July Is, when the sale takes
place, the property being bid in by the
city, after which 10 per cent penalty is
added for each six months with per
cent interest per annum, until the prop
erty is redeemed. If not redeemed in
five years it becomes the property Of the
city. 1t is estimated that the penalties,
interest etc., about absorbs' the value Of
the entire property in that time. Since
the law providing for the city bidding
in property for delinquent taxes went
into effect three years ago there has been
a steady increase In the number OF de-
linquents, the reason being that the
property is considered perfectly cafe in
the city's possession. Then, too, several
large property owners have refused to
pay their city and county taxes for the
past two years, claiming that the law
|is illegal, which fact also adds to the
total amount OF delinquent taxes.

SCHOOL BOND PROPOSITION
Conference Of the Members Of the City
Council

The conference between the members
of the city council yesterday during the
noon recess on the school bond PROPOSE
ton was not productive of any results.
the members finding that 1t was too big
question to settle offhand in a few
minutes. After talking over matters for
i time informally, the conference ad-
journed. it being understood that the
committee on public buildings should
have talk with the members of the
board of education. and meet again on
Wednesday evening. School Director
Webb was in attendance as the repre-
sentative of the school board and Henry
Martz was also in attendance. Mr..
Martz opposed the issuance of bonds on
the grounds that the bonded indebted
ness of the city was already large
enough, and he did not think it wise
to increase the amount. He suggested
in lieu that the council should provide
for the raising of $25. .0G0 annuaty In the
tax levy for building school houses.
which he thought would be sufficient to
keep the school accommodations up to
the city's growth Mr.. Martz was also
opposed to the purchase of any further
ground for the Olive street school, but
Mr.. Webb intimated that this was not
desired, and that, in fact, 1t was not
beyond the range of possibilities that
the Olive street school might be moved
to some more desirable locality.

THAT TELEPHONE FRANCHISE
The Move to Shut It Out by Injunction
Proceedings

The service on the members OF the
city council yesterday morning of re-
strainihg order enjoining them from
taking any steps in opening and award
ing bids for the telephone fl anchise ad-
vertised for sale at the instance of the
Home Telephone company some time
Iago, caused considerable talk about the
city hall The order was issued at the
instance of r. L. Horton, an attorney,
and was generally regarded as an at
tempt to tie UP the franchise until the
new state law went into effect on the
18th inst, thereby compFicating the
matter with litigation, and at any rate,
clouding the title. City Attorney Dunn
advised the council to go ahead and open
the bids, and then adjourn until today
when II 1t saw 1it, the franchise could
be awarded before the new law went
into effect This was done, and 1t now
looks as If the scheme, if it is one, to
shut out competition, would prove
failure.
The suit was filed with the county
clerk by Mr.. Horton yesterday
morning, In which he prays:
that it be adjudged and decreed that
the proceedings aforesaid by the city
|council are irregular and defective, and
In violation Of the provisions Of an act Of
the legislature Of California, approved
March %, 1885, that the city council be
restrained and enjoined from taking any
further proceedings under and pursuant
to the said application. motion and no.
tice of sale of franchise and advertise
ment aforesaid. from receiving bids for
the eale OF said rights, etc. and from
selling or attempting to sell said rights" :"

The necessity for doing the above work
in three sections arises from the fact
that there is already1ar sewer built on
Macy street between Howard street and

outlet for a sewer between Main street
and Date street.
