Good Fellow "Eck" Sands,

We were indeed pleased TO he
visited on Tuesday by our former
townsman Mr.. "Eck" Sands, now
Exchange Editor on the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Mr.. Sands came up but
for day to make hurried visit to
his parents Mr.. and Mrs. A G. Sand,
leaving his busy Office thus, in the
event Of his good mother being i'll
at her home here. lie is model
of health and handsome manhood,
and never STILES the hearty hand
shake of his old friends in the Hook
ing hills. Mr.. Sands has host Of
friends here, which make his stay
with Us a continued round of re-
ception and welcome, and might
it not be that though the illness of
the good mother first prompted his
coming, perhaps his host Of home
friends to greet his arrival sped
the incentive to take day off.
lie has spent life time with the
Enquirer and no better recommen-
dation than this Is there Of his
efficiency. We are sorry that his
time was so limitel that he was
unable to longer remain with us,
but he knows there is town in the
Hooking Valley, with big latch
string hanging out, his welcome
inscribed there on, and VIII n
spring vacations como, we hope he
will come tn us for a longer time.

\ ing the only remaining issue drawing a
higher rate of interest than per cent, 1t
appears highly desirable to your COM
mittee to apply the above surplus to their
partial payment.
The Auditors estimate for general
municipal expenses is 1914, 1914 go, toward
the payment of which is cash balance
OF $7St4.76 and an estimated revenue
other than taxes of $245SN50. CO. leaving to
be raised by taxes 1891 1,92924. To this
amount we add an additional allowance
Of $1,000 each to Elysian Park and Police
Department funds, making necessary to
raise by taxes s5s3, 1924
AS shown by statement of City Clerk,
there is total valuation of $5S, ,S51, ,112
subject to taxation for general municipal
expenses, and since we are limited by the
charter provision to a maximum levy for
this purpose of 81 for each S100 of valua-
ton, our total income from this source
will be $5SS ,511 12, or an amount $541S.12
less than needed to meet requirements.
Without attempting to reduce the allow
ance of any particular department to
meet this deficiency, we have deducted
the same from the Auditors allowance to
the general cash fund.
Inc AuultOf mas ulVlQeu the FIRE De-
partment apportionment under two
heads, viz, general expense, 500, SIT .43,
and new apparatus, $2S, S,S9570. Your COM
mittee respectfully recommend that only
the first abovenamed amount be direct
ly apportioned, to this department at this
time, and that the remaining sum of $685.
$3.50 be carried to the cash fund, there
to be held intact until final determina-
tion shall have been reached regarding
an issue of bonds to include the items
making up this sum. In the event bonds
are issued for this department, that por-
tion of this appropriation applying di-
rectly to new apparatus can be used in
the construction of much-needed police
alarm system and also in meeting the in
creased demands for public school facili-
ties. This recommendation is made not
with any desire to divert this money from
ultimate use in the Fire Department.
should it be requisite for the needed ex-
tension of that department for the pro-

rather to make provision a this time for
its use along other scarcely less desirable
lines in case other funds shall be fur

To the Honorable, the Chief Justice and
the Associate Justices of the Supreme
Court of the State of California:
| The City Council of the city of Los
Angeles, in session duly convened, speak
ing for and on behalf of said city, do
most respectfully represent to your hon

Whereas, less than one year remains
of the franchise granted to the Los An
geles City Water Company, at the ex-
piration of which time the right of said
company to furnish water to said city
and its inhabitants will cease and deter
mine; and,
Whereas, the preparation required tc
be made by said city to assume and carry
on said work is one of great magnitude.
whether the same be accomplished by
the purchase of the existing system OF
the construction of new one; and,
Whereas, it is deemed by this Council
for the best interest of said city and its
inhabitants that in either event new
headworks should be promptly con-
structed by said city as necessary ad-
be operated; and,
Whereas, the title to the lands upon
which such headworks should be con-
structed is not vet vested in this city.
but is involved In the litigation now
pending in the Supreme Court of this
State, in the case entitled, "City of Los
Angeles VS.. A. E. Pomeroy ct all" and
Whereas, the construction of said
headworks can only be accomplished by
large outlay of money which can only
be raised by the issuance and sale of
bonds of said city, and this Council is
advised that bonds for said purpose can
not be issued until the title to the prop

of the file face of same and when not
so checked shall be returned to the
Auditor for such entry.
Third-A similar record shall be kept
by the Auditor of all funds either de-

Fourth-All requisitions drawn in ex
cess of appropriation must plainly state
this fact upon the face of same and all
acquisitions drawn for expense not con-
templated by appropriation must have
plainly written upon the face of same
these words: mot provided for in ap-
priation."
January, March and June of each year
each department named in the first
paragraph hereof shall report to the
Auditor the total amount drawn against
each fund, stating also the original ap-
preparation in each case.
Sixth-On the 18th Of each of the above
named months the Auditor shall make
report to the Finance Committee en-
bodying the reports Of the departments
and including similar statements of the
remaining funds.
We would further recommend that
the Auditor incorporate such other fea-
lures herein as mey be deemed requis-
ite to accomplish the desired results.
We herewith submit an ordinance fix
ing the tax levy for the fiscal year 1897

same be placed upon its passage.
A DEFEATED RESOLUTION
Mr. Blanchard offered the following
resolution:
Whereas, Protests are frequently en-
tered asking the city council not to ac-
oept work, or appealing from the action
Of the city engineer or street superin-
tendent in accepting public work; and
Whereas, 1t is the desire of this council
to throw all the safeguards possible
around the Improvement of our city;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That whenever in the judg-
ment OF the city engineer or street su-
perintendent it is necessary in order to
determine the quality of materials used
in public work, the said city engineer or
street superintendent is hereby author
lied to expend sum of money not to
exceed $50 on any such contract for the
purpose of said determination.
At the close of the reading Mr.. Toll
| jumped to his feet and spoke against the
adoption Of any such resolution, saying
that he did not think the resolution feas-
| lble; all the officials must practice the
strictest economy and instead of allow
| ing $50 in each instance 1t would be bet
| ter to allow it when necessary and not
before. In this view Mr.. Toll was up
| held by Mr.. Nickel and Mr.. Silver. The
resolution failed to pass, Mr.. Blanchard
being the only one voting for it.
The report of the board Of public
works was approved and adopted as al
ready published.
MR.. NICKELL'S RESOLUTION
At this point Mr.. Nickel offered the
| following which, after reading, was
