OIL ORDINANCE VETOED
Mayor Snyder Gives His Reasons for
Directing to the Measure

Objecting to the Measure
AS soon as the reading of the minutes had
been concluded, the following message was
received from Mayor Snyder:
1 herewith respectfully return with
out my approval the enclosed ordinance
entitled "An ordinance prohibiting the
drilling, pumping and operating of oil
wells within distance Of 400 feet of any
schoolhouse in the city Of Los Angeles.
This ordinance would, in my opinion,
work a great injustice on property and
well owners in the territory affected
should it become law. Not fewer than
fifty wells are now in operation within
the limits prescribed. The wells have
cost not less than $4,000, and 1t must
be remembered that the board of fire
commissioners granted permits to drill
and operate nearly all of them 1 am
also credibly informed that the earn
ings of these wells amount to $500 daily.
1t is only the territory in the vicinity
Of Alpine street schoolhouse and Union
avenue schoolhouse that would be af-
fected by this ordinance.
Mr. Baker stated that he was opposed &c
the school work in this city
by allowing the oil men to encroach upor
school property. He also thought the OF
well owners had some rights which should
be considered and that the matter was one
which required careful investigation be.
fore action was taken. The vote by which
the ordinance which the mayor had vetoed
was reconsidered, and Mr.. Baker then
moved that the entire matter be referred
to a special committee, with instructions
to visit the places complained Of and re.
port fully to the council at the next meet
ing. This motion prevailed, and President
Silver named Messrs. Baker, Mathuss and
Nickel as members Of the special commit
t<e.
This committee will visit Alpine streel

CHANGES IN STREET SWEEPING
The Council Reduces the Number Now
Cleaned Nightly

Upon recommendation of the finance
committee, the council yesterday ordered
the suspension of street sweeping on a
number of streets. The committees re-
port was as follows:
Your committee beg leave to report that
in passing upon the demands of the street
sweeping contractor for two weeks, ending
February rs, 1898, we have eliminated the
charges for sweeping Also and Third
streets.
"Your committee interpret the action of
your honorable body, in recommending
that the above named streets be swept
twice each week, to mean that such sweep
ing should be paid for under the present
contract with the street sweeping con-
tractor at the same rate per mile as other
streets are now being swept. The street
streets, being macadamizcd with porphyry
rock, are not paved streets, as defined in
his contract; hence, If he performs the
work demanded upon such streets, he will
have to charge such price as in his opinion
is adequate for the services performed, re-
gardless of the amount named in the con-
tract
upon examination, we are inclined to be-
lieve that his position Is right and that the
sweeping of such streets was not contem-
plated or not provided for in the contract
Such being the case, and there being nc
funds provided for the payment Of this
extra work, we recommend that the sweep
ing of all porphyry streets be discontinued
and that the payment for the sweeping al
ready performed be left open for adjust
ment by this committee"

Protests Denied-Council

Outside of the report of the mountain
water supply committee, which will be
found in full in another column, the work
of the city council yesterday was mainly of
a routine character and no measures of
especial Importance were under considera-
tion.
AS stated in The Herald Sunday, the
mayor returned without his approval the
ordinance prohibiting the operation or
drilling of oil wells within 400 feet of any
schoolhouse. A committee of the council
will take trip through the field Thursday
to investigate the situation.
On recommendation of the building COM
mittee thorough examination will be
made of the city hall tower, to see whether
or not the vibration of the big fire bell has
injured it.

Routine Matters

Main street, to Figueroa street,
for q street to be known as For
tieth street; also for q strip of land
eighty feet wide. for the extension of
Grand avenue southerly into said Fortieth
street. was presented to the council as a
part OF the report of the city engineer,
cepted. The deed was drawn In his office
and had been approved. as to form, by the
city attorney. The necessary acceptance
was made by the council.
In the weekly report Of the city attorney
to the council was the following:
''In the matter of your Instructions to me
to communicate to the City Water COM
pany your resolution requesting list of
their properties. I transmit to you letter
from them received by me on Saturday
last"
The letter from the water company is as
follows:
acknowledging receipt Of your letter
of February 14th. we respectfully desire to
say that the communication has been re-
ferred to our attorneys, who have thus
far been prevented by business and sick
ness from responding thereto. We antici-
pate hearing from them at an early date. "
InlS communication was recelVeu anu
filed without comment.
The protest against the widening OF
Bellevue avenue was again postponed for
four weeks.
Again the old story was gone over in
the matter of the protest against the Bau-
chet-street sewer. but in spite of the rec
ommendation Of the board of public works
and the engineer the sewer was not ac-
cepted, the matter going over for week,
to permit OF technical examination OF
the work by the street superintendent and
Engineer Dockweiler.
Plans Of the West Side Lighting COM
pany for the conduit system 1t will at once
proceed to lay were submitted and ap-
proved.
When the protest against the conf1rmA-
ton of the report of the commissioners
for changing and establishing the grade OF
Paloma, Clanton. Pico and Fourteenth
streets and Griffith and Stanford avenues
came up, Mr.. Grider moved to deny but
after lengthy discussion substitute was
submitted by Mr.. Toll that the report oi
the commissioners be adopted, but that
no ordinance be passed changing the grade
which will interfere with existing improve
mentS

"And about 200 other American cities
with a population of between 10000 and
200 900.
"In many of these cities the water SER
vice has practically displaced fire engines.
"A saving of less than half of the amount
now annually expended in this city for fire
service about $S1 900, would amount to
about $4,000 a year, or 4 per cent on an in
vestment of $1,000, 900. The latter sum
would be nearly enough to pay for the
present water plant at the value fixed by
the city engineer.
reports agree in stating that such fire
service is the most satisfactory yet de-
vised, and that 1t is rapidly coming into
general use.
"The question of operating a municipal
electric lighting plant with the surplus
power of a water supply with high source
has been tried SO frequently and with such
uniformly economical results in many large
cities that it is no longer disputed ques-
ton.
1.-THE use of the surplus power of a noun
tain supply of water for this city would
quickly settle the electric lighting question
upon an economical basis.
mot the least of the considerations IA
voring the construction of such water
system at this time of general industrial
depression is the fact that beneficent
work of such great magnitude would nee
essarily have stimulating influence upon
all local industries for several years to
come.
'In conclusion, your committee beg leave
to recommend that the titles and claims
of the companies herein mentioned be care
fully inquired into by the city attorney.
eve recommend that the city engineer
be directed to examine the figures and es-
Inmates here quoted and that he report his
opinion thereon to this council as soon as
possible.
''Your committee have examined into this
difficult question as far as our limited time
would allow, and we believe that it's vast
and far-reaching Importance demands that
it be accorded the fullest investigation pos
sible. Respectfully submitted.
