SANTA MONICA

SANTA MONICA, Oct. 26.-(Regular
Correspondence Owing to the sickness
of Trustee Hostetter last night, the reg
ular meeting of the trustees was held
this afternoon. A communication was
received from Messrs. Kinney and Ryan
stating that to empty the sewage into
the ocean at Ele proposed outfall 5000
feet south Of the city limits would be a
detriment to that part of the beach; that
if they wanted to carry the sewage to the
ocean Railroad avenue would be a good
location for the outfall. But if it must
be carried through their land they would
like to enter into an agreement to take
care of the outfall pipe. The city attor-
ney was ordered to bring condemnation
suit at once against Kinney and Ryan
for right of way.
A communication was read from Fred
Eaton of Los Angeles in reference to
acting as consulting engineer with the
city engineer, in which he offered to ex
anime and revise plans, etc, for $780, or
he would personally supervise the whole
business for $1,000. The matter was left
open.
The profile of South Third street was
adopted.
A communication was received some
time ago from Mr.. Vawter, representing
the City Water company, to the effect
that that company was prepared to fur
nish fresh water, of which they had a
bounteous supply, for street sprinkling
which was referred to the fire and water
committee. Today that committee re-
ported unfavorably on the proposition,
at the same time reading a communica-
ton from G. H. Forbes, president of the
Land and Water company. to the effect
that the Santa Monica Water company
had plenty of water for street sprinkling
and could furnish all that the city would
want. Trustee Roth said they might be
able to do so through the winter, but
would they in the summer? to which
yes was answered. But it is generally
believed that they will not unless differ
ent arrangements from the present ones
are made. Should the same state of
affairs exist in the matter of water next
year as last the City Water companJ
will probably be heard from again and
with more telling effect.
The license of j. U. Henry's cigar
stand was transferred to E. E. Barack-
man, and that of e. d. Roach to Sentous
Brothers.
Trustee Carrillo called attention to the
condition of Linda Vista park, and
thought fence should be built along
the bluff and the park beautified Re
ferred to street committee to report at
next meeting.
Let everyone remember that Wednes-
day evening is the date of the mass
meeting to be held at the city hall to
discuss ways and means for improving
the city cemetery. Everyone is urg-
emily requested to attend.
