THE OLD SONG.

There ia garden sweet with rose and pink
Where honeysuckle grows and virgin bower
Soft turfed and shelving to the rivers brink,
And In that garden grows my hearts white
flower.
She moves about it like living rose,
And from my boat as come up the stream
l see, mid all the flowers her garden grows,
The living lily of her garments CLEAN.
At night walk beside the darkling tide
Where the drowned stars among the lilies stir
See her bright window on the farther side
And bless the happy roof that shelters her.
And when touch that fair, enchanted land
Among the roses in the sunlit noon
She comes to me and takes me by the hand,
And LIES song and love, true love, the
tune.

Erect Fire Escapes

The building committee referred the
draft of an ordinance governing the con-
struction of fire escapes which was adopted
by the council. 1t requires all two or more
story buildings, to be used in whole or in
part for manufacturing purposes, to be
supplied with one or more metallic ladders
or fire escapes with balconies and rail-
iHgs extending in front of and commune
eating with one window in each story.
These escapes shall be so constructed that
a concentrated weight of 500 pounds may
be suspended from any point thereof with
out injuring it. All openings in the balco-
MES must contain a clear space "a by "a
inches. In the case of two-story buildings
there must be one fire escape for every
twenty-five persons employed on the first
floor. Private residences, If not more than
two stories in height, are exempt from the
provisions of this ordinance.

REBUKED BY TOLL AND SILVER
Some Main Sewer Fund Bonds Are
Redeemed-As to Fire Escapes.
improvements, Etc

The proceedings at the meeting Of the
city council yesterday were enlivened by
display Of written and verbal fireworks on
the part of Councilmen Order and Hutch
ison and also Mathuss, but, by the mag
nanimity Of his friends In the council, the
latter is termed an innocent victim Of cir
cumstances. The three composed the spe-
cial committee on mountain water supply.
Mr.. Mathuss admits that the report eX-
presses his views on this subject in gen.
eral way, but claims that in reading it
before it was presented to the council he
did not recognize the fact that it had
questionable reference to the engineer and
attorney, who are therein accused Of
negligence and Indifference to public at
fairs which they are paid to devote their
time to. He has always been in sympathy
with the majority of the council In this
matter, and is yet, so far as 1t concerns
the purchase Of the water plant.
Mr.. Toll made vigorous and eloquent
speech against the adoption of the report
and, considering that it was impromptu,
1t was one for Los Angeles army of ora
tors to conjure by. What particularly
angered Mr.. Toll was that the committee
had exposed the plans of the finance COM
mittee in the matter, which was working
secretly and unostentatiously, and intend
ed keeping the result of it's deliberations
quiet until the final moment. Now the
water company knows just about what the
council will do, and that is not pleasant
for the men who have worked for the city
In the matter. BY the time Toll got through
excoriating that committee not one of the
three felt the same as he did before the
POLL was called. Order paced the floor
agitatedly and in deep communion with
himself.
"Habeas Corpus" Ladd was before the
council in behalf Of some clients who are
protesting from a decision of the superin-
tendent of streets. Messrs. Nickel and
I.ker combined to disconcert him, and
they accordingly interrupted him at every
second or third word. Ladd would smile
benignantly, give his shoulders a peculiar
councilmen: but 1 am coming to that
directly"
1t would save the city a material sum of
money If those Main-street sewer bonds
were redeemed soon. They are drawing
per cent interest, have been outstanding
for twenty-one years, and in that time
only $40 900 has been called in, the original
Indebtedness being 500 900. The trouble
seems to be that there is no certain period
for payment, and these have been made
whenever the council has happened to
think of it, providing there was plenty of
funds in the treo st1rv AT tho time

Motions by Member

The following motions of councilmen
were made and adopted:
Tol-That the Los Angeles Water COM
pany be requested to lay water main on
Thrtieth street between Grand avenue
and Figueroa street, adequate in size to
meet the demands of the water consumers
upon said street.
Blanchard-That the mayor be author
lied to sign on behalf of the city the petit
lions to change and establish the grade of
Wiltshire boulevard between Hoover and
Commonwealth avenues, and Boyle ave-
nue. between Fourth street and Stephen
son avenue
Upon motion of Toll the petition of H.
J. Ebnger for a sidewalk on Twenty third
street between Hoover and Vermont ave-
nue. was referred to the city engineer with
instructions that he present an ordinance
of intention to do the work.

still remains. The owners of the adjoin-
ing lots wish to use the alley.
After examining into the matter the
board finds that the two lots can be pur-
chased for $500 each, but in addition paying
for the improvements thereon already
made. The board says it is without money
to purchase this land, and asks that the
city do that for the benefit of the city
schools. There is a necessity for immedi-
ate action, the petition says, as the owners
of the property insist on the alleys being
opened, which, unless the lots are pur-
chased and an alley made on the north
side. will necessitate the moving of the
school building on the lot originally pur-
chased for it.
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1898-05-03

bonded to the extent of S22 ,0OO and it is as
tonishing to say that in twentyone years
only $4,000 of these bonds have been re-
deemed, drawing all these years per cent
interest. Mr.. Toll of the finance commit
tee explains this by saying that the enact
ment of the indebtedness was prior to the
passage of a state Legislative act referring
10 the issuance of bonds and that no serial
payments of these particular bonds have
ever been required to his knowledge. The
main sewer fund bonds are for twenty-five
years, Mr.. Toll thinks, and as there are
$4,000 yet to be liquidated and only four
years to do 1t in, the matter cannot be
permitted to slumber as it already has,
for so far payments have been made at
rate of about $500 a year. The council
passed the ordinance referring to the mat
ter.

ACQUISITION
What the Board of Education Wants
the City to Do

The board Of education petitioned the
council for permission to have laid by pri-
waite contract cement sidewalk on Eighth
street, beginning at the intersection of
Eighth and Grand avenue on the north
side, and along Eighth stheet the length of
the frontage of the Eighth street school lot
Also, that the city have Magdalena street
graded, curbed and sidewalked along the
line of the Ann street school property, be-
tween Ann and Bloom streets, as the dust
and doors arising from the passing of
heavy oil wagons to and from the oil tanks
near by greatly annoy the school. These
two matters were referred to the board CT
public works.
Then came a request, or suggestions, in
which money is concerned, and it was re-
ferred to the finance committee. The
board asked that the council order the pur-
chase of the two lots lying on the northerly
side of the new Macy street school prop
erty. At the time of building this school
house, it was placed eight feet over the
line Of the school lot on an alley, where it

this stigma about to be placed on good Of
