COUNCIL AND WATER
Yesterdays Meeting Sparring Match
for Points

It was a great array of legal talent that
presented itself at the joint session of the
city council and the water company yes
terday morning. In fact, the entire as
semblage was made up of nothing but
giants in the respective walks of life there
represented, and 1t is doubtful If ever be-
fore in the history of Los Angeles purely
local assemblage of such uniformly able
and prominent citizens has ever taken
place on any business occasion.
The water company was represented in
a legal sense by Judge Chapman and
White G. Monroe, and there were present
as directors and stockholders of the COM
pany President w. H. Perry and Messrs.
w. J. Brodrick, H. w. Hellman, S. Laz.
ard. ]. c. Drake, s. H. Mott, VIM. Fergu-
son, ]. M Elliott and VIM. Mulholland

John R. Scott were the attending counsel
for the city, and to represent the other de-
partments Of the city government there
were present Mayor Snyder. City Treas
uret Hartwell City Water Overseer Ca
sey, City Engineer Dockweiler and con-
sultant, Civil Engineer Eaton, and all
members of the city council A large
crowd of citizens and people interested in
n general manner were gathered in the
auditorium and gallery.
The time set for the converting OF the
session was 10 o'clock. and, to their eter-
nal credit, let it be said that every men,
Der of the city council was present and
waiting at that hour. Proceedings were
delayed, however, by some new documents
that the city's attorneys at late hour,
found 1t necessary to prepare. and it was
1n.oA hot
nounced everything in readiness.
The ball was started rolling by Council
man Nickel, who stated that the meeting
was called in view of the fact that the city's
contract with the water company expired
Friday night. and that 1t was therefore

learned that the water company would not
be ready to appoint their arbitrator until
Monday, and thinking 1t would probably
be prudent for the city not to make its ap-
pointment until then, he had erased the
name and made the ordinance to provide
for the appointment at councils next regu-
lar meeting on Monday.
This action on his part precipitated quite
discussion, and on his stating that there
was no legal objection to making the ap-
pointment Immediately. Mr.. Nickel made
a motion that such action be taken. The
motion carried by majority of one, Baker,
Mathuss, Silver and Toll voting mo-"
Nominations were called for, and ]. c.
Rays was named by Nickel, after which no
further nominations were made. In the
balloting, however, a second candidate de-
veloped, Silver Mathuss, Baker and Toll
voting for ]. S. Slauson. Mr. Rays was
therefore elected by only one majority.
The ordinance, with Mr.. Rays name in
serted, was then given a second reading
and was passed by unanimous vote. In
substance this ordinance is as follows:
Whereas, BY contract of lease, dated
July 20, 1868, the mayor and common council
of the city of Los Angeles did purport to
lease to John S. Griffin, Prudent Beaudry
and Solomon Lazard and their assigns the
domestic water works of said city for the
term Of thirty years from the signing and
approval of said contract; and,
Whereas, 1t is provided in said contract
that said lessees or their successors should
during said time make certain improve
ments to said water works, and should at
the end of said term be paid the value OF
said improvements. which value should be
ascertained by arbitration in case the par
ties to said contract could not agree there
on, said lessor to choose one man and said
lessees to choose another man, and the two
