THE EXCELLENCE or SYRUP OF Figs

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which IL is
manufactured by scientific processes
known TO the CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup Of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALL
FoRNIA Ere SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup Of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. Il .is
far ia advance of all other laxatives,
as il acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and II does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name Of

ABBOT K1NNEY's SCHEME
Action by the Legislature Necessary
to Garry Out the Plan

Abbot Kinney's scheme to do away with
the offices Of city assessor and city tax
collector and to merge their duties with
those of the county officers. came up be-
fore the council yesterday and was re-
ferred to the city attorney.
The plan Is ~ no means a new one. 1t
was agitated some years ago. and on ex-
animation it was found that state legisla-
ton would be necessary to abolish the Of
fees in question and to enable the county
officials to assume the duties as proposed.
The matter was finally laid before the legis-
lature, and resulted in the passage of a law
authorizing such an arrangement in cities
Of certain size. Los Angeles came within
the provisions Of the act, but the city at
torney did not feel sure Of the constitu-
tionality Of 1t. 80 asked the opinion of other
counsel. Judge Chapman gave expression
to an opinion which was unequivocally
against the proceeding. and the whole mat
ter was apparently dropped for this reason.
With the passage of different statute, 1t
IL probable that the change may be legally
brought about, and as the proposition
seems to meet with very general favor,
having the endorsement Of the board of
trade and many prominent business men,
1t is likely steps will be taken to mike 9
thorough investigation Immediately as to
what is necessary to be done in the prem-

There seems to be- no, one in the courscI1i
who is willing to take the responsibility Of
fathering a more rigid ordinance against
gambling than those which are now found
on the municipal statute books. The ordi-
nance presented some time ago come up
yesterday after being In the hands Of the
police commissioners for q week. The
commissioners gently limited that 1t is not
within their duties to make the laws. and
that the council, being the legislative body.
is the proper organization to consider and
dispose Of the proposition.
Council saw the reason in such an argu-
ment. but evidently had no intention Of be-
ing proper" in this instance. The mat
ter was handled like hot iron. Toll
wanted 1t referred to the committee on
morals, but Order strenuously objected to
such action, alleging that the committee
named and Of which he was a member, had
died natural death six months ago. Toll
then made a motion that the reference be
made to a special committee. constituted as
the committee on morals had been.
But to this Order also objected.
He frankly acknowledged that he
did not care for the responsibility
and suggested that the state law was
probably sufficient to keep gambling
within reasonable control.
Toll finally changed his motion, so that It
provided merely for a committee Of three
and 1t passed without further objection.
The chair appointed Toll. Mathuss and
Ashman as the committee.

Wilson. did not like Judgeg Lamme's refer
ence to Mrs. Wilson'S department In the
hereafter, and asserted, with the confidence
Of one who must know, that "even II Mrs.
Wilson does enter a protest against the
opening of streets In the New Jerusalem 1t
is certainty that Judge Lamme will not
be there to fight her." He stated further
that Mrs. Wilson never agreed to the inn
provement further than to express herself
as willing that 1t should be made II she
were subjected to no further assessment
than the taking Of such a portion Of her
property as was necessary for her share Of
the alley.
The discussion was cut short by motion
that the hearing be postponed until next
Monday.
The hearing Of the protests against the
opening Of Marchessault from Main to
Bellevue avenue was laid over until Octo-
Der 3. and the appeal of w. c. Parker
against the street superintendent assess
ment warrant in the sewering of Central
avenue between Eighth and Ninth streets

City Attorney Recommends That Dis
chalmers Be Filed in Two


The council yesterday authorized the city
attorney to file disclaimers in two quiet title
suits against the city, wherein centrally
located property was concerned. The at
torney's report in the matters was as fol-
lows:
"In the matter of the suit of A. 8. Boyd
against the city Of Los Angeles and the
board Of education of said city to quiet title
| to parcel of land lying north of the SPRING
street school property, would report as
follows: This is a suit to fix the north line
Of the Spring-street school property, or,
rather, the division line between that prop
Ierty and the property of plaintiff rhe
block in which this property is located Is
officially known as block 10 Of Ord's sur
vey, and In which on its Broadway and
Spring-street frontage there is shortage.
This shortage occurs In the various hold
ings In the block. On the east frontage Of
the school property, as shown by a map
made by the city engineer In May, 1889, the
shortage amounts to $500 of foot, and on
the west end 1t amounts TO Las feet. A SIM
liar condition occurs in the property living
to the south of the school property. In con-
junction with the city engineer, we made
investigations Of the records of the city and
find that the city has for a great many
years recognized the line as claimed by the
plaintiff, so that the city, with reference
to the school property, aud the lot owners
adjacent thereto. have, by adverse possess
sion and continuous holding, practically de-
termined the lines as laid down in the COM
plant. am Of the opinion that these lines
have been practically fixed by the statute
of limitation. and I therefore recommend
that disclaimer be fled reserving, how
ever, to the city its lien for municipal taxes
for the fiscal year Of 1S9S-e9.
IT also report in the matter Of the suit
Of the German Savings and Loan society
against the city of Los Angeles, TO quiet
title to a piece of property on Main street,
as described in the complaint that the city
has no claim to this property except right
Of way across the same for storm drain
and the lien for taxes for the fiscal year of
1S9S-99. therefore recommend that a dis
claimer be filed, reserv:niy the lien for
taxes for the fiscal year Of 1s9s-99 and also
the right Of way for storm drain across
said property and along the line Of the
storm drain now existing thereon"
