his alleged perjured testimony regarding

Church fell from the car. Huey qualified
his testimony yesterday, however, with the
explanation that he had been mistaken in

form, while in favor of municipal owner
ship Of the water system, did not declare
for the purchase Of the Los Angeles City
Water company's plant, and that the reso-
buttons they passed merely anticipated the
acceptance of the lesser of two evils which
seemed to stare the city officials in the face.
The meeting was called to order by A.
Willhartitz, chairman of the improvised
committee, which issued the CALL and Ma
jor Burke was introduced as chairman of
the meeting. Daniel Neuhart was chosen
as secretary and the following gentlemen
as vice presidents:

Major Burke in accepting the chair made
a neat speech, In which he outlined the pur-
poses of the meeting and stated that one of
the cardinal principles of the local Democ-
racy has been the municipal ownership of
the water system. and that 1t was not for a
meeting of few members of the central
committee to declare otherwise. The fol-
lowing resolutions were then introduced,
and, on motion Of Martin Eichorn, unani-
mously adopted, with great enthusiasm:
Whereas, the matter Of municipal own
ership Of water has come to such point
that 1t Is every citizens duty to assist those
who honestly strive to serve the people In
their interest, as against that Of the spec
ulator and spoliator; and, whereas, few
men Of our party met, in the name of the
city central committee Of the Democratic
party Of this city. and hurriedly and with
out debate pushed through resolutions d.
rectly opposed to the spirit and letter of
the Democracy, expressed in the organic
law Of the party: and, whereas. the mayor
Of this growing city. selected from our
ranks, Is anxious to live up to the resolu-
lions and platform Of the past Democratic
conventions, which emphatically declares

resolution, being In Sacramento at the time
the action was taken. Mr. Rogers then in
troduced the following statement, making
some explanations for the committee as he
read 1t: ...
"Ir order that we may not be further
misunderstood In our attitude on the water
question, the members of the Democratic
city central committee deem II due to our
selves and the Democratic party to explain
the action we took on July 18th.
I'VE have all been and now are In favor
Of carrying out to the letter the platform
Of the last Democratic city convention.
We passed the resolution endorsing the
Kessler proposition as a mere preference
Of the least harmful Of evils offered. Some
time ago a monster petition was presented
to- the council asking that body to carry out
the platform Of the last Democratic city
convention, and the labor OF securing sig
natures to that petition was mainly borne
by us. The council refused to grant the
petition, and we were only supported by a
very small minority Of the council. The ma
jority against II makes the task seem hope
less.
1--WE believed, and we trust that we shall
be happily disappointed In our belief, that
the city and the water company was such
that the water company would be able 10
get the matter In the courts, where we be-
leve they could keep 1t for many years.
and that IN the meantime our citizens would
suffer all the Ills attending an insufficient
and impure water supply. We believed and
still believe that II we could get rid OF the
old water company and the old contract
that any new lease would be subject to the
provisions OF the city charter, and should
be Cancelled by the city on six months mo-
tice If unsatisfactory. II our action was
wrong, we still claim the merit Of having
brought to the attention Of the city Democ-
racy the fact that the last Democratic city
convention adopted q platform on the water
question and that nothing is being done
toward carrying 1t out"
The communication bore no signatures as
submitted. Calls for speeches from Tellfair
Creighton and A. W. Fisher received but
little encouragement, and the meeting ad-
journed.

THEY PAID THE BILL
Los Angeles Traction Co. Again Sub.
mits to the Inevitable

Street Superintendent Drain yesterday re-
ceived a check for 1868 from the Los An
geles Traction company in payment for the
material and construction Of the culvert at
the corner Of Third and Main streets. The
water course was made necessary by the
street railway tracks alone. but the COM
pany has long contended that 1t would not
have the culvert built, and, furthermore,
would not pay for 1t II the city put 1t in.
That change has taken place in the
compauys position in the matter Is EVIL
dent from the fact that Superintendent
Drains bill for the work was paid with
out objection or comment. The outcome
Of the matter is q precedent by which the
company will probably be guided in SINH
lar improvement necessary and soon to be
made at the corner OF Third and Spring
streets. The company has always been
willing 10 pay for the portion of the culvert
which was directly under their tracks, but
no more.

POSSESSION OF PLANT
DEMOCRATS HOLD A Meeting
Red-Hot Resolutions Passed for MI.
nicipal 0wnership-Populists
Pass a Set Of Their Own

Yesterdays events In the water question
were many and varied. Nor was the day
lacking in surprises. Council acted on
the time-tried axiom, "forewarned Is fore
armed" and knowing Of the avalanche of
petitions and resolutions with which It
would be assailed, took advantage of the
knowledge and placed the Kessler, Burbank
and Merrill propositions on file before the
various requests for such action were
formally introduced. The petitions and
resolutions from the Democrats, the League
for Better City Government and citizens
committee, etc, were then merely read and
filed, council giving the assurance, how
ever, that 1t was doing everything possible
to further municipal ownership.
The council then took further step tow
ard acquiring possession of the water plant
by passing an ordinance providing for the
creation Of the city waterworks depart
ment, its method Of management and con-
troll and Its officers and the salaries to be
paid them.
The afternoon marked the filing OF the
injunction suit of the water company
against the city, by which the city, Mayor
Snyder and the city council are temporarily
restrained from taking possession of the
water plant. The merits of the case will
be heard before Judge Clark on Monday
next at 10 o'clock.
In the evening the Democrats held mass
meeting in Turner hall and INDUCED in red
hot speeches condemning the action Of the
members OF the city central committee in
passing the Kessler resolutions last
Wednesday and warmly endorsing munich
pal ownership and the action of the city
officials In their endeavors to attain such
an end. Resolutions to that effect were
passed and the members Of the central
committee were given an opportunity to
make an explanation OF the reasons for
which their action Of last Wednesday was
taken.
The Populists also passed a set of resolu-
tions last evening favoring municipal
ownership.
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1898-07-19

central committee Of Los Angeles hereby
reafflrm the declaration made by said party
in IT'S last city platform in favor of munici-
pal ownership Of the water system Of Los
Angeles.
Resolved, That said proposition Of Kess-
Ter & Co. Is simply cunning attempt to
bind our fair city in the tolls of a gigantic
monopoly. without hope Of relief for the
next fifty years, and that its acceptance
would work incalculable injury to the fu-
ture progress and prosperity Of Los An
geles.
Resolved, That to turn over. this most
vital necessity to a private corporation
would put US completely in the power of
those who are looking for profits alone. re-
gardles Of results ON the health or welfare
of the city.
Resolved, That the supposed right Of the
council to regulate the rates charged would
afford no protection to consumers, for the
reason that 1t would either be nullified by
the cunning ekin of lawyers craft in the
courts. where It has been decided that such
provision cannot destroy the right OF Q
corporation to q certain fixed income on
the value of its property. always largely
overvalued for the occasion; or, In default
Oh SUCH CouISos primaries dIIu ComiNoiitiOuS
would be packed in the interest Of the
water company, and city politics be cor
rupted for the next fifty years by the
blighting curse of special privilege for pri-
vate profit.
Resolved, That we condemn the action Of
the Democratic city central committe in re-
pudiating It's platform by endorsing such an
ubiquitous proposition. and express our be-
lief that 1t entirely misrepresents the
wishes Of their constituents and should be
revoked at the earliest opportunity.
Resolved, That we hereby heartily COM
mend the efforts Of Mayor M. p. Snyder
and Councilman e. l. Hutchinson in favor
Of municipal ownership. and call upon all
the councilmen to likewise stand true to
their prediction pledges and give US mu-
nicipal ownership Of . water system that
viii be commensurate with the growing
greatness Of our city.
Dated Los Angeles. Cal. July 49, 1893.
1t was first suggested by 8. A. Waldron
that tina resolution be modified by saying
that IN the opinion Of the committee the
water resolutions recently passed by the
Democratic city central committee had
been accomplished without the knowledge
or consent Of the majority of that organi-
cation. After brief discussion 1t was de-
cided to accept the resolutions az originally
read, which were unanimously adopted.
The committee then adjourned.
