HOSE MEN QUARREL
Bids Referred to the Fire Commission
Contradictory Statements

There will be plenty of fun at this
weeks session of the board Of fire COM
missioners, for to that body the council
referred the matter of examining the
bids which We're opened yesterday for
furnishing the fire department with 5000
feet of hose. The bids were, with two
exceptions, the same as those submitted
first considered. 1t will be remembered
that all bids We're then rejected and
others were advertised for, because the
first advertisement did not state that
preference would be given to California
made hose all other things being equal.
The following bids We're received yester-
day:
Crane & Co., Imperial woven jacket. 56
cents per foot; Harper, Reynolds & Co.,
Victor jacket so cents, Reliance 20 cents,
Guardian 60 cents, Defender so cents, all
of which is made in California; w. c.
Furrey Co.. Dragon 70 cents; Union
Hardware and Metal Co., Paragon, 50
cents; California Hardware Co., Mastjff,
so cents; Cass & Smurr Stove Co., Bay
State. so cents; Tiger, 70 cents; c. B.
Boothe & Co., Pyramid, rs cents; Baker,
so cents. The changes in these bids
over the others are that of the w. c..
Furrey company for Dragon hose, which
was first quoted at so cents, and in the
bid for the Paragon brand, which, by
mistake, was before 80 cents. All of the
bids were referred to the fire commission,

TO LIGHT THE CITY
Result of the Star Chamber Session
Reported to the Council

Bids for lighting the city for one year
from January 1st will be opened and ex-
amined at the meeting of the council
be one bid and the contract is certain to
go to the Los Angeles Electric company.
At the meeting of the council yesterday
the report of the gas and light commit
tee, containing the amended specifica-
tions for the contract, was submitted
and adopted, although not without op-
position. When the report was made
Mr.. Toll asked to be excused from vot-
ing for the reason that he had not at
tended the recent star chamber session
of the committee and some of the other
members of the council at which the
specifications were prepared. He did
not desire to oppose them for that rea-
son, and he stated that he could not
vote for the approval of the report.
Had not Mr.. Hutchison demanded the
reading of the specifications they would
have been passed without being read.
He asserted that the city should enter
into months contract in order that
there might be some competition when
the contract was again to be awarded.
He opposed the letting of the contract
to a company which could charge what
it pleased. THE city's purse has been
sized up" said he, land the bid will be
made so as to secure as much Of what
it contains as possible" He and Pres
ident Silver voted against the report.
but it was adopted by the affirmative
vote of the others, excepting Mr.. Toll.

MATTERS OF ROUTINE
Minor Subjects Disposed of by the
City Fathers

The contract and bond of A. P. Cross
for sprinkling the streets for three years
from January 1st We're approved. The
bond is in the sum of $4,000. Geo. w.
Hughes, John Cross and wife are the
sureties.
The hearing Of the protest against the
assessment district for the widening of
Bellevue avenue was postponed one
week.
Members of the council have been re-
quested by the street superintendent
to designate the places in their respec-
tive wards where cross walks are de-
sired. Twenty of these walks are to be
laid in each ward.
Oil Inspector Monlux reported the col
lection of $50 during the month of Octo-
ber This is the largest amount collected
by him since the creation of the office.
A numerously signed petition asking
that the council appoint Adolph lie Brun
to the position of meat inspector was
received. Accompanying it was rec
ommendation from the Journeymen
Butchers association that he be ap-
pointed. The office was not filled yes
terday because the ordinance creating
it had not been published.
The matter of the naming Of the
streets. in which there has been much
confusion and as to which the records
have been found to be incorrect, was
referred to the city attorney with in
structions to prepare the necessary or
dinance to make needed corrections.

BOND ELECTION CALLED
December 7th Is the Date, and 4 Per
Cent Is the Rate of Interest

December 7th will be the date Of the
election for the purpose of ascertaining
the wishes of the people in regard to the
proposed issue of nearly half a million
dollars worth of bonds for the improve
ment of the fire department and the in
crease of school facilities in this city,
This was announced several days ago
by The Herald, and at the council meet
ing yesterday the date was officially
chosen. The council passed the final
ordinance calling the election yesterday
afternoon, and it now goes to the mayor
for whatever action he may deem ad-
visable.
The ordinance is very voluminous, as
it contains all the details of the proposed
expenditure of the money to be received
from the bonds if they are issued. Act
ing in line with the suggestion of Mayor
Snyder, the council yesterday decided to
insert in the ordinance the rate of inter-
est on the bonds at four per cent instead
of four and one-half per cent, as appear
ed in the original draft of the ordinance.
City Attorney Dunn, in presenting the
ordinance stated that it had been the in
tention to leave this matter to be filled
in by the council Incidentally he
stated that it would be suicidal to the
measure to have inserted anything but
that rate of interest. as the city had re-
Gently disposed of bonds bearing four
per cent interest.
The bonds are to date from January ],
1898, and the interest is to be made pay
able on January l and July 1 of each
year. The bonds are serial obligations
to pay, and one-fortieth of them is to be
paid each year. The ordinance itself
was not read except by title, and was
adopted by the unanimous vote of the
council.
Before the ordinance was presented it
was necessary to approve the plans and
specifications for the proposed new en-
gine houses of the fire department, and
these We're presentd early in the session,
and without debate We're approved. In
the matter of the recommendation of the
board Of fire commissioners. that the
council order the purchase of two new
fire engines at once, Chief Moore, who
was sent by the council, stated that one
of these engines was provided for in the
bond issue, but pointed out the necessity
for the second one AS the city has no
money for such purpose at present the
matter was referred to the finance COM
mittee, which means that the recommen-
dation will have to be unfavorably re-
ported upon.

OVER HIS VETO
The Mayors Views as to the Health
Department Disregarded

Soon after the beginning of the morn
ing session of the council the following
lf-explanatory message was received
from Mayor Snyder:
"The enclosed ordinance, entitled AN
Ordinance to Amend Section Is of an
Ordinance Entitled can Ordinance Pro-
viding for the Number of Persons to
| be Employed in Certain Departments
of the City Government of the City of
Los Angeles and Fixing Their Compen-
saton." Approved July 29th, 1897. and
Numbered 442, New Series is respect
| fully returned to your honorable body
without my approval.
Il refer you to my message of March
9Th, 1897. The conditions which I pre-
dicted would prevail as a result of plac-
| ing the appointive power in the matter
| of Health Department deputies in the
hands of the Council, have become a
I fact. The Board of Health, as every
member of your honorable body knows,
has been, and is at this time, badly Grip
pied in the discharge of it's duties by
reason of the fact that it has absolutely
no control over the deputies in the de-
partment."
Upon the conclusion of the reading
of the message Mr. Baker moved that
the vote by which the ordinance had
been passed at the last meeting be re-
considered. Before the question had
been put Mr.. Toll arose and took the
mayor severely to task on account of
the message. He stated that he was sur
prised that a man so high in authority
as Mayor Snyder should continue to-
contend for the right of appointing the
deputies in the health office when the
matter had been settled by the courts.
He considered that such message was
in bad taste and was entirely uncalled
for, since it would lead the people to
believe that the council was responsible
for the strife and trouble that had been
reported in that department of the city.
He pointed out that the council was
willing and ready to remove any in
competent deputy in the health office,
as it has recently taken just that action.
1t was not a matter of patronage, but
was one which the courts had decided
belonged to the council. and unless there
was some cause for criticising the action
! the council such messages were out of
place and uncalled for.
| Mr. Hutchison stated that If there was
any characterization in the health office
the mayor could point out where it was,
| against the council and that entire de-
partment. The vote was then recon-
| sdered and the ordinance was passed
over the mayors veto by unanimous
| vote.

Must Take Its Turn

The matter of the boulevard between
this city and Pasadena will have to take
the usual course of all such matters and
it will not be advanced or given prece-
dence over other measures providing for
public improvements. The following
report on the subject, made by the
finance committee, was adopted:
Request having been made to this
committee for an increased allowance
Of $125 for the city engineers office for
use in making survey upon the Pasa-
dena boulevard, and it appearing that
this matter has gone to the engineers
office in the regular course of business
and is now matter of regular routine
in said office, we therefore recommend
that the city engineer be requested to
take up the matter of supplying the city
attorney with the description of proper
ty to be taken in the opening of said
boulevard as well as the limits of as
sessment district for said opening, in
it's regular order and that the work be
prosecuted to completion at the earliest
possible date consistent with the work.

MAY INSPECT FIRE ENGINES
The City Attorney Favors the Boiler
Inspectors Contention

According to the opinion of the city
attorney the city boiler inspector has the
right under the law to inspect the boil
ers of the engines of the fire department.
That portion of his report which refers
to this matter is as follows:
In the matter of the question sub
mitted to me by your honorable body as
to whether the boilers of the fire engines
were subject to inspection by the city
boiler inspector, l am of the opinion that
these boilers are subject to the same
inspection as other steam boilers in the
city. Upon the other branch of your
question, viz: are the engines of the
fire department subject to the provisions
of the city ordinance with reference to
the qualifications of engineers, ask one
weeks further time.
This was expected and it is almost
certain that when Mr.. Dunn reports
upon the other question on which a
weeks time was granted, he will hold
that under the charter the engineers in
the fire department hold their positions
under appointments, the manner of
making which is clearly defined in the
city charter, and that the ordinance
under which the board of examinin e
engineers are acting, if it conflicts with
that method of appointing or relieving
the men from duty, does not apply to
them.
The boiler inspector will not act i'm
mediately even though he is now backed
by the opinion of the city attorney. If
he does, he will place certain portions
of the city in danger of fire and without
protection for days at a time. The fire
engines are so constructed that to make
an interior inspection of them it is nee
essary to partly dismantle them. The
Jackets that surround the boilers have
to be removed and portions of the in
terror must be taken out before the in
spection is possible. To do this would
require several days, and as there are
now in the department no engines which
can be placed in service while another is
being inspected the territory covered
by the engine under inspection would be
left practically unprotected. 1t is esti-
mated that each inspection would mean
that an engine would be out of service
for week or ten days. When the new
engines are purchased there will always
be one in reserve.

Caused a Wrangle

Street Superintendent Drain and M.
S. Cummings, contractor, engaged in
a lively tilt at the morning session of
the council. The contractor wanted an
extension of ten days in which to COM
plete the Improvement Of Twelfth street
between Tennessee and San Pedro
streets and his request was not ap-
proved by the street superintendent.
When the latter was asked the reason
he stated that he had been compelled
to keep an inspector on the street to see
that the work was properly done and
that there had been plenty of time to
complete the work had the proper effort
been made. This the contractor denied
sharply. AS the extension was really
necessary to complete the work it was
granted by the council.

AS TO TRANSFERS
City Attorney Dunn Says the Matter
Is Regulated by Franchises

At the last meeting Of the city council
Mr.. Hutchison secured the passage of a
resolution calling upon the city attorney
for an opinion as to the rights and au-
thority of the council to regulate the
matter of issuing street car transfers,
and as to whether the council could
specify between what lines and at what
points transfers should be issued. At
yesterdays meeting City Attorney
Dunn submitted the following opinion on
the subject:
"In the matter of transfers to be issued
by street car lines, 1 am of the opinion
that all questions regarding the issuance
of transfers from one street car line to
another are regulated by the various
franchises granted to the companies and
under which the lines are operated. For
this reason the question as to whether
transfers should be issued at given
points must stand by itself and be gov
erned by the franchise, or franchises,
operated under at that point. AS you
have asked me only as to whether there
is a general provision, and have not ap-
piled your question to any specific road
or point, can only give you the above
general advice"
The herald., 1897-11-02

the ordinance shall be punishable by a
fine not exceeding $500 or by imprison-
ment not exceeding six months or both.
This measure was not adopted with
out a contest which lasted nearly all
day. The first mention of 1t was early
in the morning session when City At
torney Dunn appeared and stated that
the attorneys representing the parties
most interested in the matter had left
in his office the draft of an ordinance
on which they had failed to agree and
had requested that he prepare an ordi-
nance covering the subject. He wanted
the advice of the council as to what
kind of an ordinance was desired. At
ter long discussion it was decided to
hold special conference on the sub
ject during the noon recess. The coun-
Gil then proceeded with it's morning s
business.
At the noon adjournment all of the
members assembled in the committee
room and with Judge Wright represent
ing the Merchants and Manufacturers
association and Attorney Rush appear
ing for the hackmen, the question was
discussed for nearly an hour. None of
the members of the council seemed to
know just what they did want, and the
members of the board of public works
were unable to agree. The objections
that met every suggestion were numer-
Gus. and it seemed that no progress was
to be made until President Silver sug-
gested that the matter be referred back
to the city attorney to present an ordi-
nance at the afternoon session. Mr.
Silver had opposed any measure which
gave to hackmen any advantage on
the streets over expressmen, holding
that both classes We're in the service of
the public and should be granted equal
privileges. The meeting adjourned
without reaching any final conclusion
on the matter.
When, near the close of the afternoon
session, City Attorney Dunn appeared
in the council chamber with the draft
of an ordinance which he supposed con-
tanned the views of the members on the
hitching matter. there was another long
discussion. First this member wanted
one thing. and another wanted
something entirely opposite. There was
wholly lacking any unanimity of opn-
ion and several changes We're made in
what the attorney had prepared. When
the measure was voted upon all of the
members voted in the affirmative except
Messrs. Ashman, Hutchison and Grider
The ordinance now goes to the mayor
for approval and if the hackmen can
make him see the matter in the light that
it is viewed by some of them he will GER
tanly veto it. He would not, of course,
state yesterday what his course would
be as he had not seen the ordinance. AS
soon as the ordinance was adopted sew
eral of the hackmen who We're dis
pleased with its provisions called upon
the mayor to try to induce him to prom
ise to veto the measure.

Good Use for Raw Eggs

We all know the value of cooked eggs,
but there are many unsuspected vlr-
tues in them while raw.
The white skin inside the shell is the
best application for cut that is bleed
ing profusely. Bind it on securely and
allow it to remain until 1t falls off of it.
self.
The white, if poured over burn or
scald relieves the pain almost at once
and is cooling and healing. If applied at
once it prevents Inflammation.
The whole of raw egg, taken as food,
is most nutritious; but it requires lit
tie courage to swallow anything so glu-
tinous and tasteless. 1t may be made
more palatable if the yolk is carefully
preserved unbroken and then little
nutmeg grated over it, or few drops
of lemon juice and a little parsley
sprinkled on it gives pleasant flavor.
Some patients, however, prefer a dash
of salt and cayenne pepper.
When the stomach is not too irritable
the egg may be beaten into tumbler of
milk, to which a little brandy or other
flavoring has been added. But some-
times the plain raw egg is all that the
stomach will retain. 1t rarely refuses
this, and in the severest case of bowel
trouble one of the best remedies as well
as food is partly beaten egg swanowed
at a gulp. 1t is healing to the membrane,
and four eggs day will fully sustain
life for a short time until the digestive
tract is once more fit for duty.
When the mucilage bottle Is empty
and cannot be refilled in time, the white
of egg will answer many of its purposes
1t will stick on a stamp, glue papers to-
gether, paste articles in the scrapbook
and all such light work.
1t forms the best "filler'' when papers
are to be made alright before covering
jelly tumblers and jam jars. Even as
sole covering these papers last well and
are successful if dipped beforehand into
the white.
One charm Of this convenient egg is
that we nearly always can get it at a
moments notice.-Philadelph Public
Ledger.
