of the entire morality of the entertainment
was so conclusive that Mr.. Workman's sug-

and in answer to the park boards adver-

construct the necessary building at his
own expense and pay cash bonus OF $50

city council, with Recommendation that
the proposition be accepted, and Commits

Carey were appointed committee to see
that the necessary building is properly con-

A communica tion from Piedretto San
tint asked the privilege Of a lease on the
Solano avenue tract Of Elysian park. The
tract in question includes about 40 acres,
and has been rented for year past to
man named Casulo, who Is now said to
have left the city. The board left that as
he was unfortunate with his crops last
year, he should have the first chance at
second lease, and therefore instructed Su-
perintendent Carey to ascertain whether
he has really left the city before negotia-
tions are opened with Santini Casulo

fers the same.
The park superintendent reported that he
had been informed by George Lockwood,
the Griffith park watchman that a man
named Martin Is making very general use
OF the park lands for grazing purposes.
Martin had a lease on the lands under Mr..
Griffiths ownership, paying $270O year for
a certain tract, part of which is now owned
by the CITY, 1t was the understanding
that he should have a right to the use of
the city land until the lease expired, the
rent therefor passing to Mr.. Griffith. The
lease expired some time ago, but the graz
ing has continued uninterruptedly. and the
city has seen no COIN for 1t. The super
intendent has been trying to lease 1t to
other parties, and was instructed to order
Martin off unless he is willing to pay SIS
month for the land. There are said to be
several hundred acres of 1t.

Glass Skylights

In accordance with a request from the
builders Of the Douglas block at the cor
ner Of Third and Spring streets, Chief
Moore Of the fire department has carefully
examined q new material for the construc-
tion of skylights, and will recommend. at
the next session Of the fire board, change
in the fire ordinance so as to admit of the
use of the material in question. At pres
ent the ordinance requires the use Of a
wire netting over skylights, sufficiently
strong to bear the weight Of a fireman.
The new material consists of two plates of
woven wire imbedded in the center. 1t Is
very strong, and is an entire compliance
with the intentions Of the present ordi-
nance.

Spring streets. City Street Superintendent
Drain has had the work done at the city's
expense and charged one-half Of the cost
to each company. 1t Is a matter of only
$50 or $40 as a whole, but the Los Angeles
company contended that the street was
torn up by the Traction company. and
should, therefore, be repaired by that
company. The Traction people insisted
that both companies should bear the ex-
pense, and consequently the street re-
mained torn up.
Mr.. Drain reported the matter to the
council, and was instructed to notify both
companies that the street must be fixed.
The notification had no effect, and the
