SEWER CONNECTIONS
Recommendation for Consideration
by the Council

short meeting was held yesterday by
the sewer committee and report prepared
for Mondays council meeting embracing
the following recommendations:
In the matter of the petition of F. Ii.
Harbert, asking permission to connect the
second building on the west side Of Main
street. between Thlrty-second and Thirty
third streets, with the sewer connection
constructed on said premises, we recon-
mend that the request be granted, mas
much as the construction of second con-
nection to the main sewer In the street
would necessitate the tearing up of the
asphalt pavement.
Recommend that the petition of c. FitZ-
gerald for permission to connect lot Is,
block A, of the Mrs. Fitzgerald tract, with
the sewer on Valencia street, be granted.
In the matter Of the petition from H.
Freeman, asking for the construction of a
sewer on Kensington road, we recommend
that the petition be granted and the city
engineer instructed to present ordinance
Of Intention for the construction of the
sewer as requested.
We recommed that the petition of C. L..
j. Keller. asking for the construction of a
sewer upon Palmetto, Willow, Sixth and
other streets be referred to the health
officer for his report as to the necessity
for the construction of said sewers,

WELLS FARGO TAX SUITS
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation SUSPEND Action

The Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation, through the secretary, has ad-
dressed the following communication to
William Pridham, assistant superintend-
ent of the Wells-Fargo Express company:
Your favor Of the 2tSh inst, asking for
Il suspension by the Merchants and Man.
ufacturers association until the courts
sh1ll have decided whether the express
company or the shipper must pay the war
revenue tax on all receipts and bills Of
lading, was made the subject for action al
Il special meeting of the board of directors
of this associa ton today The board de-
sires 10 express its kindly feeling for you
personally, approaching your position ir
this matter.
I'm View Of the fact that the controversy
between the express company and the
shippers was thoroughly discussed at a
meeting CT the members of the associa-
ton held last Monday, and that the ac-
ton at that meeting imposed upon the
board the duty of legally testing the refusal
Of the express company to pay said tax,
the board considered that it has no az
til ority at the present time to devia:e from
its instructions as expressed by the mer-
chants. a personal canvass among many
has been received discloses a feeling that
the attitude of the Wells-Fargo company
in the present controversy is untenable
and unpa triotic, and that the public will
only be satisfied If speedy decision by
the courts is obtained. The merchants
generally feel that the express company
is attempting to evade the war tax with
out any just reason. and that patriotic
motives. if no others, should impel 1t to
share the burdens of the government ex-
penses in the war now pending. I have
been instructed by the board to reply that
your suggestion for suspension of action
in the matter might only be granted upon
the two following conditions First, that
the Wells-Fargo company will abide by
the decision of the lower court in the
action now pending between the express
company and the shippers In eastern cities
and will not resort to tedious and lengthy
litigation and carry the case to the United
States supreme court If a decision is rem
dered adverse to the company; second,
that the Wells-Fargo company officially
promise to refund to the shippers upon
proper proof all moneys collected from
the latter for war tax on shipping receipts
and bills of lading if a decision is rendered
adverse to the company"

FINANCE COMMITTEE AND THE
TRADING STAMP
Recommendation as to Sewers-Mis-
sion Boulevard Protests-Minor
City Hall Notes and News

Only short session of the finance COM
mittee was held yesterday, but number of
important matters were up for considera-
ton, in addition to the regular routine in
the way of payrolls and miscellaneous de-
mands.
The Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation filed a petition to the council last
week, asking that every person or corpora
ton that deals in trading stamps be COM
PEELED to pay a monthly license of $3.50 The
matter was discussed at some length and
was finally taken under advisement. The
opinion of the committeeman appeared to
be that the council should not interfere In
the matter, inasmuch as merchants should
be allowed to do as they saw fit in the intel
ests of their business. No house was forced
to 80 into the trading stamp business If it
did not so desire.
The oil producers succeeded In getting the
committee to recommend that the license
tax on each oil we'll be reduced from So
per quarter to 81 per quarter.
The water company's demands on the
city for $150,O00 went over without discus

To Test a Legal Point

City Attorney Dunn left for San Fran
cisco Friday afternoon, where he will go
before the supreme court OF the state to
present an agreed case. The suit is en-
titled the City of Los Angeles VS.. C. H.
Hance, city clerk. and It's object Is to test
the legality of the law under which the
city issues Its municipal improvement
bonds. The point is a simple one and re-
suits from clerical error. In inserting
an amendment a manifestly wrong num-
Der was copied by the clerk. so that the
section number which was used was really
the one amended and the one intended to
be amended was left unchanged. The error
is so patent in character that there is lit
tie doubt that the court will hold the bond
section of the law to be unaffected by the
error

CONCLUDING REMARKS.

Concluding his report Mr..
Herring says it will be necessary
at once to build the outfall sewer.
the pumping station, the reservoir
and most of the main sewers.
Some of the latter may be left if
not needed at once. Lateral
sewers should be built first on
those streets most in need of
them. 1t is advised that the whole
work be let by contract to one
responsible party, so as to get
lowest rates aud save time. 1t is
important that material and work
mansbip both be of the very best;
also that the interior of the sewers
should be perfectly smooth 80 as
10 give tn greatest possible flow
for the size of the pipe.
