A RECORD BROKEN
E. o. KRAGNESS' REMARKABLE
RIDE FROM SAN FRANCISCO
The Olympic Club Wheelman Ira
verses the Distance in Fifty
Hours

E. o. Kragness, the Olympic club wheel
man of San Francisco, arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon al 2:05, having lowered
the bicycle record between the two places
by hours and So minutes. He had hard
time during the latter part of the trip, and
after reaching this city decided to abandon
the balance of his ride, which was to have
ended al San Diego. as the roads are In very
bad condition and the weather is somewhat
oppressive for such a task.
Kragness started from San Francisco at
noon on Wednesday. and came by the coast
line. His trip was devoid Of any particular
excitement other than about a dozen pune
lures of his tires occurred. He took pace
wherever he could get 1t, but most Of the ride
was made without assistance. The weather
Kragness had hard work to travel along the
bad roads, on which he says he lost consid-
cradle time. Thursday night he started TO
ride along the beach from Santa Barbara
10 Ventura, but unfortunately found the
tide high and had 10 hoof 1t nearly all the
way. Enroute from Ventura yesterday he
took a wrong road near Caiabasas and dou-
bled back for fifteen miles or so, losing Al;
least three or four hours time. The dis
lance Kragness Travelled is close to 500 miles
and he succeeded in lowering the record
made by Oscar Olsen In 1894 by hours and
80 minutes. He will remain in the city for
a week and then start north.

Hack Drivers Knock Another Hole in
the Hitching Ordinance

There were not many anxious citizens
with grievances at the meeting of the board
of public works yesterday, but there was a
fair sprinkling of hack drivers, with their
attorney, Byron Oliver, on hand, to demand
the repeal of section of the hitching ord-
nance on the grounds already enumerated
at the Monday session of the council. After
hearing what Mr.. Oliver had to say, the
board in its report recommended that the
section regulating the standing of hacks and
vehicles for hire upon public streets be re-
pealed and that the city attorney be in
structed to present the necessary ordinance
This will leave ordinance 4654 pretty well
knocked out.
The board will also recommend that f.
Mannings ct ais petition asking that an
excavation in lot s, block N, of West Los
Angeles be filled, be referred to the health
officer.
Other recommendations are that the con-
tract for sidewalking and crawling Twen-
ty-second street between Thornton and YER
mont avenues be awarded to c. c. Holcomb.
That petition from ]. A. Butler ct al. be re-
fered to the city engineer with instructions
that he furnish the city attorney with the
necessary data for the opening of Eighth
street between Santa Fe avenue and Mateo
street, the district of assessment to be on the
line of the opening between Lemon street
and the easterly terminus of Enterprise
street, and that the city attorney be in
structed to present ordinance of intention
for such opening; and that petition from j.

MET ONLY TO ADJOURN
COUNCIL DOES NOTHING ABOUT
THE WATER QUESTION
Mr.. HUTcHIsoN's FERvID WISH
For the Immediate Appointment by
the City of Its Own Arbitrator
Is Not Fulfilled

Council met yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of hearing the report of the COM
mittee on water supply respecting its con-
ference with the water company. Mr..
Nickel, chairman of the committee, asked
for further time on account of the many
little details that will have to be gone over.
Mr.. Hutchinson inquired what prospect
there was that progress would be reported
next Thursday, if the matter went over till
then.
Mr.. Nickel could not say if the directors
would by that time have anything tangible
to communicate. The water company
claims that there is a lot of property which
does not come under the contract, and it is
necessary to find out whether arbitration
will apply to it or not.
Mr.. Hutchison insisted that the city
should appoint its arbitrator at once. 1t
would be useless for the council to go on
with this matter, he said, unless arbitra-
tors were appointed. The speaker knew Of
supreme court decision exactly in point,
he claimed, from which he had arrived at
the conclusion that the city arbitrators' ap-
pointment was imperative. He moved that
the council proceed TODD so at once.
| Mr.. Toll amended by moving that the
councilman from the Eighth ward name the
arbitrator. Mr.. Tolls amended motion was
carried and Mr.. Hutchison's original mo-
| ton defeated.
The city engineer presented two ordi-
nances, the first an ordinance of intention
for the grading of Sixth street from Ere
mont avenue to Bixel street at an estimated
cost of $2.95 per front foot; the second an or
dinance of intention to grade the intersec-
ton of Sixth and Bixel streets. The rules
were suspended and the ordinances adopted.
| Attorney Bacon appeared on behalf of
| ]. c. Merrill and other land owners below
the city who had petitioned for permission
| to take waste water from the river above
| the Macy street bridge for the purpose OF
flushing the Sixth street sewer one hour a
| day and irrigating their own lands during
| the twenty-three others. He read con-
tract prepared by him by which the city
grants to Merrill this water, in accordance
with the wording of the petition heretofore
published.
| Mr.. Order said that the water supply
committee had favorably reported on the
matter, but since then considerable oppo-
sition had manifested itself against the
scheme. He moved, and it was so ordered,
that the whole matter go over until the
Monday session.
| On motion of Mr.. Blanchard, chairman
of the board of public works, the city en-
gineer was authorized to change the notice
inviting proposals for the construction and
laying of 1870 feet of cement pipe in the
Vernon district. City Engineer Dockweiler
explained that it was for, the purpose of
permitting the Los Angeles River Pipe as
ISOLATION to make a bid. This corporation
manufactures glazed pipe which is prefer
able to cement, and if it could make bid
for such pipe at cost not exceeding that Of
cement pipe it would be profitable to the
municipality.
