SEWER MATTERS
Recommendations Adopted by the
Committee Yesterday

The sewer committee of the city coun-
ell met yesterday and adopted the fol-
lowing report to be submitted to the
council Monday:
In the matter Of the protest from Ruth
D. Crippen ct al, and H. l. Millard ct al,
respectively. protesting against the con-
struction Of a sewer on Del Monte,
Thirty-fifth, Thirty-sixth and Thirty
seventh streets, which protests were re-
ferred to this committee after a public
hearing before your honorable body. we
would respectfully recommend that the
protests be sustained and that all pro-
ceeddngs for the construction of sewer
in the streets named be abandoned until
such time as provision can be made for
the sewering of that general locality.
In the matter OF the protest from M.
r. Stearns ct al, against the eonstruc-
ton of a sewer in East Fourteenth and
East Eighteenth streets, we recommend
that a time be set for hearing said pro-
test.
In the matter of the petition from the
Bethlehem Institutional church, asking
permission to connect parsonage and
church building with Que sewer line, we
recommend that same be granted. and

THE OIL PROBLEM
4A6 V4A xhVoA6A
The Ordinance Will Probably Remain
Unchanged

The probabilities are that the council
will decline to make any change or
modification in the ordinance regulating
the oil industry, though the time for
carrying out the provisions in regard 10
putting all storage tanks underground
may be extended to sixty days. The legal
advisers of the oil men yesterday stated
to member of the committee that IL the
time was extended six months, there
would be no further objection from the
we'll owners, but this was not agreed to.
Councilman Order is outspoken as be-
ing opposed to any change whatever be-
yond allowing thirty days more in which
to get the tanks underground, and then
only with the understanding that any
new tanks that are erected must be un-
derground Councilman Toll thinks
that the tanks must go underground. but
will probably vote to allow the oil men
additional time in which TO do the work.
Councilman Baker has not as yet ex-
pressed his views. As to the other OBJ
jections urged by the oil men, most of
the councilmer spoken to on the subject
do not think them we'll taken, and that
when the ordinance is in operation for a
short time even oil men will appreciate
it's advantages.

Truman Street Job

The contractor for the Improvement
of Truman street will not have to tear
up the whole street, after all. AS a re-
suit OF their inspection Thursday after
room, Councilmen Nickel and Hutchi-
son have ordered part Of the sidewalk
taken up and relaid and also large lot
of the curbing taken out and replaced,
The street will also have to be relaid in
several places, and the whole work
rolled and brought up to grade. The
financial hackers of the contract have
already advanced considerably more
money than they will get out of the job,
and this extra work ordered will prob
ably increase their loss at least so per
cent. If the policy of compelling con-
tractors to live up to their contracts is
persisted in, a better class of street work
will result.

FOR THE BOULEVARD
EAST SIDE CITIZENS ORGANIZE
APRoMoTIoN CLUB
Residents Of Eagle Rock Will Give a
Right of Way and Grade Road
Through Their Valley

The property owners of the First ward
held a mass meeting last evening in
Banquet hail. corner of Downey ave-
nue. and Chestnut street, to discuss the
proposed boulevard between Los An
geles and Pasadena and other matters
looking to the advancement of East Los
Angeles.
Councilman Nickel was elected chair
man and W. T. Poor secretary. Chair
man Nickel explained the object of the
meeting and explained that united ac-
tion upon the part of the East Side
citizens would have an effect in saying
where the boulevard would be located.
Mr. McGarvin favored action and sug-
gested that committees be appointed to
draft a constitution and bylaws for a
permanent society.
Sherman Smith said that they had a
councilman and member of the board of
education behind them, and by COM
bined effort a great deal could be done
for the East Side. Alfred Moore told of
the improvements made by club few
years ago, similar to the one now pro-
posed and urged union He instanced
the project of building an electric line
on the East Side, where a portion IA
vored DAILY street and others wanted
Workman street, being uselessly di-
vided against themselves.
After a lengthy discussion Mr.. Poor
moved that an organization be immedi-
ately formed, to be known as an i'm
provement club. Mr.. Smith counseled
deliberation and delay which was agreed
to. committee being appointed to make
suitable arrangements for the formation
of the club and report at the next meet
ing. to be held in the same hall next

EAGLE ROCK WANTS TT.
A most enthusiastic and largely at
tended meeting was held at the resi-
dence of Mr.. P. w. Parker at Eagle
Rock Thursday evening. to consider
what inducements could be offered to
bring the proposed Los Angeles and
Pasadena boulevard through that val
ley. Mr.. Parker was chosen as chairman
and E. D. Goode as secretary.
The proposition was thoroughly dis
cussed and several committees appoint
ed to canvass the whole territory along
the proposed route Mr.. Joseph Agufrre
offered the following resolution. which
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense of this
meeting that the people of Eagle Rock
will give right Of way 120 feet wide, and
grade the same, through the entire
length of the valley, in conformity with
specifications made by the engineers"
James Hickson and Percy Schumacher
were appointed as a committee to re-
port the sense of the meeting to the
boulevard committee in Los Angeles.
The people of the little town realize the
Importance of this project and are thor
oughly in earnest, and believe the COM
mittee on locating the route will find no
other community that will do so much
for its ultimate success as Eagle Rock.
Another meeting will be held at the
school house Saturday evening, at which
time reports of the different committees
Will be received.

includes the whole block, recommend
that the same be referred to the superin-
tendent of streets for such action as he
may deem necessary in the premises.
In the matter OF the report of the city
engineer, I'm regard to your order of
Feb. l. 1897, to present an ordinance to
improve Fremont avenue, between First
and Second Streets would state that
1t Is necessary to construct storm
water drain on this street between the
points stated. This would cost about
$3.50 per lineal foot. there
fore ask for further orders as
to whether you wish this in
port was referred to the board, we find
that If the street is graded the storm
water will back up on Fremont avenue
at the north line of First street. unless
storm drain Is constructed between First
and Second streets, so as to connect with
the present storm drain at Second and
Fremont. II a drain Is not built 1t will
be necessary to change and establish the
grade of Fremont avenue from First
street north to Mignonette street, run
ming a straight line from the established
grade at First street to meet the estab-
lished grade at Mignonette street at the
south line thereof. raising the grade of
Fremont avenue at Diamond street six
feet, thus enabling the surface Of the
street to carry the water to Second and
Fremont. When the grade is thus
changed and established, Fremont ave-
nue. ehould be improved from Second
street to the south line Of Mignonette
street.
In the matter of the report OF this
board in reference to street signs. which
was referred back to us, we recommend
that the same be corrected to read as
follows: THAT the city clerk be instruct
ed to advertise for bids to furnish and
erect the same, the same to be made Of
AKA inch surfaced redwood twelve feet
long, painted with two coats of white
lead and oil paint; that sign boards be
made of half inch thick four inches wide
and twenty inches long surfaced red
wood and painted with two coats of lead
and oil on all sides; signs to be white let
ters and black background; that bids to
provide for furnishing posts and signs
complete be delivered to the city clerk.
In the matter of the petition of ]. K.
Wolfskill ct al, asking that the Los An
geles Traction company be instructed to
macadamize that portion of Third street
between Crocker and Alameda streets
occupied by it, it is recommended that
the petition be granted, and, in addition,
your board finds that Third street has
been improved between Crocker street
and Santa Fe avenue; we therefore rec
ommend that the city clerk be instructed
to notify all railway companies having
tracks on the street to at once pave their
portion OF the street.
Judge Lamme appeared before the
board and asked for an extension of
time of six months on the franchise held
by the Traction company on West
Eighth street, but the matter was taken
under advisement.

The City Census

The council committee having in
charge the arrangements for taking the
city census under the state law are busy
arranging the details and hope to be
able to report the necessary ordinance
Monday. There are fifty-five enumera :
tors to be appointed, and considerable
work to be done in getting up the neces
sary blanks. The classification will be
done by the letter carriers, and they will
hold meeting this evening to map out
their work. The plan is to have one
enumerator for each of the larger pre-
cincts, while the smaller ones will be
punched as may be found most convcn-
lent. Much interest Is manifested in the
census, and guesses on the result range
all the way from $4,000 to 10000.

CUBAN WAR MUST SPEEDILY END
Or Your Uncle Samuel VIII Take

pendence-Earthqu in Peru

Paris, Sept. 20.--A dispatch 10 the
Temps, from San Sebastian, says that
in All interview with the Duke of Tetuan,
the Spanish minister for foreign affairs,
the United States minister TO Spain,
en-. Stewart l.. Woodford, did not present
any claim for indemnity, but confined the
interview to Il moderate phrase in the
statement of the great injuries commerce
and industry had suffered in the United
States through the prolongation of the
Cuban war.
Geu. Woodford is said to have added
that Secretary Sherman had desired him
to declare to the Spanish government that
it was evidently impossible for Spain to
end the rebellion in u reasonable short
time, further that IL the war was con-
tinuel, Cuba would be devastated and of
no utility to Spain or to the Cubans.
In conclusion. the United States inin-
ister is reported to have insisted
courteously. but firmly, upon the neces-
sity of terminating the war, declaring
il il was not terminated by the end of
October the United States would feel
justified in taking measures to secure the
independence of Cuba.
The Duke of Tetuan still, according to
the dispatch to the Temps, while protest
ing against alleged American ''preten-
tons said he would reply officially to
the United States minister when the
Spanish court returns to Madrid.
