FAILS TO LOOSEN
BLANCHARD'S GRIP
WALLACE UNABLE TO FORCE
RECONSIDERATION
Finance Committee Chairman Musters
onIy His Own Vote in Wrestling
$4,000 Sewer Appropriation
from Ninth Ward

Councilman A. J. Wallace was unable
to induce the city council to reconsider its
vote and return the $4,000 appropriated
for the three Boyle Heights sewers to the
general expense fund.
The fight on the floor yesterday, which
has by some been termed battle for
supremacy between Wallace, represent
ing the non-partisans, and Blanchard,
representing the Republicans, was per-
haps the most exciting of the present
council.
Perhaps a hundred Ninth ward prop
erty owners were on hand to watch the
proceedings and half a dozen made
speeches.
AS chairman of the finance committee
the Fifth ward member opened the strug-
gle by reciting how in his absence in
the east the money had been appropri-
ated. He said it was unfair to all the
wards Voters in each ward had helped
the bond issues with the same promises
and understandings as the Boyle Heights
people that they would share in the al
lotment of sewer work. Yet as year after
year passed and the funds proved mad
euuate sewers were built by private
assessment and in others the work SIM
ply waited.
"Savors of Unfarness"
To vote this bg sum now to Boyle
Heights, Mr.. Wallace contended, savored
of unfairness, especially as people who
had built sewers at their own expense
were called on to shoulder the Ninth
ward cost besides.
Councilman Blanchard in replying said
that no advantage had been taken of his
colleagues absence, as had been inti-
mated. Mr.. Wallace knew that the en-
gineers were at work on plans and the
hox In
lar course.
Samuel Rees, speaking for the delega-
ton, said that every one knew that the
general understanding was that the
Ninth ward for peculiar reasons expected
to get the much needed sewers. The
eight members of the council had seen
fit to appropriate this money, yet the
missing member at this late day dares
challenge the intelligence of his col
leagues and declare that the money
should be held up.
This, he argued, was unfair to Boyle
Heights and to the other lawmakers
who had the right to apportion money
as their judgment dictated.
Fifth VS.. Ninth Ward
Other talks were made by George Rein
schild, L. Romans and Secretary Bryant
of the Improvement association, all urg-
ing that the Fifth ward had got many
municipal favors and now it was the
turn Of the Ninth
Councilman Blanchard sided with Bry-
ant, saying it was the businesslike thing
to build these three sewers first, as they
were needed most. There were not suf-
flcicnt funds in sight to take the chance
OF dissipating thelA in ali parts of the
city by dividing the work and then hay
ing no completed sewers anywhere.
Councilman Wren favored dividing the
funds equally between the wards men,
toned in the original sewer bond election,
thus showing no favoritism to any dis
trfct
When votes were taken Wallace was
the only member voting for reconsiderine
the appropriation by which the authori-
Estion was made.
