the municipality ought not, in common bus
mess justice, after having accepted from
the company its services during such time
as 1t was to the advantage OF the city and
the disadvantage of the company, to prac-
tically confiscate its property, when in the
course of time the city should enlarge its
borders, and by reason Of the increase in
its population and business, the demand
for public lights should become so great as
to leave a margin or profit to the contract-
ing company.
Petitioners alleged that they had been
led to expect an even opportunity with
other possible bidders, but by the speciilca
ton attached to the published call for sealed
proposals. an unaccountab.e oversight Of
the council had rendered 1t impossible for
the electric company TO make any bid for
the sale or transfer of Its pole and overhead
wire system to the city. and this. notwith-
standing that it would appear at first glance
to be the cheapest method possible of
adoption by which the city could obtain
satisfactory and complete system.
The petition then pointed out why the
specifications were prohib,tory to the Los
Angeles Lighting company, and asked the
council to modify them or make such pro-
visions as would enable the company to
present it's SEALED proposal also.
Judge Cheney, counsel for the corpora
ton, addre ssed the council on the subject
Of the petition, going over the grounds en-
bodied in it, and it was then, on motion Of
Mr. Toll, referred to the committee on gas
and light.

SURPLUS WATER
A Protest Futile and j. G. Merrill ct al.
Nav Develop It in the River

When the report of the water supply COM
mittee on the Merrill petition was called,
Wilbert Barrett and Albert Hoppe, riparian
proprietors on the Los Angeles river imme-
dately south of the city, entered protest
against the granting of the privilege. They
claimed that diverting water from the river
was contrary to law and in violation of
their rights, as well as being detrimental
to the best interests of the people dependent
upon the waters of zanja No. for irrigation
purposes. Attorney Powers spoke in favor
of protestants' petition.
Ex-Mayor Workman said that the water
now going to waste, which Merrill Is en-
deavoring to obtain control Of. is of great
value, as would be found out within a very
few years, but he deprecated letting any
private concern get hold of the privilege of
developing 1t because the city would later
have the utmost trouble in resuming it's
rights.
Messrs. Nickel and Toll, on behalf of the
water supply committee, showed that it
was upon mature reflection that the recon-
mendation had been drawn up, and that
under 1t the resumption by the city of it's
rights in the premises would meet with
no delay, whenever 1t felt ready to cut off
the permission granted to Merrill.
The petition asking permission to prose-
cute the development of surplus water in
the bed of the Los Angeles river for use
upon the territory contiguous to the south
ern limits Of the city, upon favorable rec
ommendation Of the water supply commit
tee, was then granted. The committee re-
ports that in the abstract the desirabillty
of utilizing all of The waste or surplus water
of the LOS Angeles river, especially in a
season when water Is so scarce as at pres
emit, is a most desirable object to be at
tanned, and II the accomplishment of this
object can be gained without jeopardizing
the rights of the city in and to such water,
and the use of the same, your committee
are lmpeiled to recommend that the petit
TONERS be encouraged in prosecuting this
work.
1t aid be cessary, however, for the
pet 1ers 10 ~ protect the flow of the
RI r. as now n ized for irrigation through
out the city under our present system, and
snce It is nece sary to carry their work
ahove The point of the present dam across
me Los Angeles river to a point north of
the Macy sire Ell bridge, the committee rec
commended that The proposition be enter
tanned only upon The consideration that the
petitioners 1ume the present. flow nf water
in the river o such point above the head
Of their development works as may be
deemed requisite by the city engineer and
the water overseer in order to avoid inter-
ference with the present surface flow of
the river, and that such further restric-
lions be made as may be deemed necessary
by the city attorney in order to fully pro-
tect the interests of the city in and to the
water OF the Los Angeles river.
The herald., 1898-06-21

that contract could be enforced. 1t Is
therefore important that the funds should
be provided for making payment before
we go to the expense of an arbitration
which might prove useless.
Second-We have called attention to the
statute of 1897, repeating certain laws, and
which we think by mistake repealed the
only law authorizing municipal corporations
to issue bonds under the provisions of the
constitution. We know that there are law
yers of good reputation who hold that the
power does not exist. While we are by no
means confident that that opinion is correct,
yet, nevertheless, there is sufficient doubt
about it to make it improbable that a law
yer could easily be found who would have
sufficient confidence in his opinion to adj
wise client to invest large sum of money
in bonds thus issued. A decision of the
courts, therefore, upon this question would
be desirable, and we think that If steps
be taken promptly looking to the calling of
such an election it would be possible to OBJ
tain very speedy decision of that question
upon an agreed case.
Third-Whle we have been called upon by
the council to present our construction of
the contract of 1868 as to the property which
the city Is to purchase at the end of the con-
tract. and while we have given that inter-
probation, we have not been favored with
any construction of that question by the
city. 1t is not impossible that we might diff
fer as to the property which this board of
arbitrator are to fix the value of. We do
not understand that the contract provides
for the submission to the arbitrator of any
question save that of the value of the prop
erty. Unless, therefore, we agree upon
what the property is that is to be valued,
litigation might be required to determine
that question.
These reasons. mainly, though to them
others might be added, have led us to be-
lieve and to suggest to the council that we
should begin now to make preparations and
especially with reference to these prelim-
mary matters, which must take place be-
fore the matter can be gotten before the ar
bitrators.

FIRMLY DECLINED
WATER COMPANY TELLS THE
CITY COUNCIL
THAT ITS OFFER DOES NOT GO
A Special Meeting Today to Consider
the Questions Involved in the
Communication

The only councilman who did not occupy
his seat in the council chamber yesterday
was Mr.. Mathus who is still away in the
east. A communication from the Los Ange-
les City water company's attorneys, de-
clin.ng the offer of 81, 800, 900 of the munich
pality for the whole property was read and
referred to the water supply committee,
whose report will be considered today by the
council in special session.
The council acted favorably upon the rec
ommendation of the water supply commit
tee, which saw no inconvenience in granting
j. c. Merrill permission to develop waste
water in the river bed for the benefit of
ranch owners below the southern city
boundary. Ex-Mayor Workman warned
the city fathers against such generosity,
contending that this waste water will In the
course Of time be very valuable and that 1t
is very hard to wrest from private concern
anything of value which 1t has been once
allowed to grasp with good grip. The wa
ter supply committee retorted in so many
words that it knew what 1t was doing and
the council believed it in preference to Uncle
Billy.
A petition from business men in the CEN
ter of the city, asking for the repeal OF that
section of the hitching ordinance which pro.
hibits hackmsn from stationing on the prin-
cipal business streets during the day will be
digested by the board of public works during
the week and acted upon next Monday.
The Electric Light company sent petit
ton and an advocate to the council to re-
monstrate because the specifications in the
proposals for bids for the coming years
contract leave them, so they say, out in
the cold, and the claim is made by the cor
poration that such action in view of former
services inadequately remunerated, is I'M
fair. 1t asks for modification of the speci-
fications so that 1t will not be forced out of
the business Of providing municipal light
ing.
Numerous people from the vicinity of East
Seventh and Eighth streets, Gladys avenue
and the environs of these thoroughfares APP
peared to oppose the sewering Of their dis
trict and loud and strong were some of the
arguments Of the spokesman who were
"forninst" the measure. Sparse popula-
ton, hard times a healthy neighborhood and
soil that absorbs nasty things as easily
as plotting paper absorbs ink were the prin-
cipal grounds upon which the taxpayers
begged off. The two first points will be in
vestigated by the sewer committee and the
two last by the health officer, ana the result
will jointly be communicated to the council
at next weeks regular meeting.
The herald., 1898-06-21
RESPECTFULLY DECLINED
The Water Company Sccrns the
Offer of the Citv

City Attorney Dunn presented the letter
of declination of the Los Angeles City Wa
ter company to accept the offer Of the city
made several days ago. 1t was referred to
the water supply committee which held
short session after the noon hour adjourn
ment Of the council. Nothing was done,
however The council will meet In special
session this forenoon to consider the ques-
tions involved in the communication. which
Is as follows:
We are in receipt Of the notice from the
city clerk of the adoption of the report made
by the water supply committee to the city
council on June II, 1898. We have also what
purports to be copy of that report.
At a meeting previous to this action the
water companies having submitted to the
council schedule of their property as re-
quested, made an offer to sell the whole of
the properties to the city of Los Angeles
for three million dollars, or to sell the
property of the Los Angeles City Water
company, as shown by that report, includ
ing the property belonging to the East
Side Spring Water company, for two mil
lion dollars. We understand this report
to be a proposition to purchase the prop
erty of all the companies, both that In
cluded within the contract and the prop
erty of the Crystal Springs company as
well, Tor $l,SOo,ooo' ana we now respectfully
decline 10 accept any such sum; ana
as 1t is SO 1ar snort OF the Vaiue Oh the
property for which the ofer is made, as TO
amount TO less tnah nlty per cent OF its
value, 1t does not seem at all probable that
we shall ever agree upon the price of the
property to be paid Tor by the city under
the contract. we thlnk tnat' excluding
the crystal springs Lana ana water COM
panys property, we need nothing but
yard STICK the market reports ana the
multiplication table to prove to the salts
faction OF any disinterested person that
the property OF the Los Angeles City Water
company alone Is worth several hundred
thousand dollars more than the orer you
make for the whole property ana that,
too, estimated on the same basis adopted
by the city engineer ana approved by your
honorable body, which basis, however, we
do not by any means admit to be correct.
So confident are we OF the correctness
of our position in this matter that we pre-
fer to submit the valuation OF the property
which under the contract or 1865 the city Is
to purchase to the determination of COM
petent and disinterested persons. We
take this opportunity again to refer to the
difficulties that may arise In this matter
Of arbitration, and which difficulties and
the problems which confront us, leads us
to think that some action should be taken
