ASKS HIGHER FEES FOR
INSPECTING PUBLIC WORK
CITY LOSES ON CURB, SIDEWALK
AND GUTTER PLANS
Engineer Hamlin Induces Council to
Authorize Increase to Prevent
Deficit in That Class Of
Improvements

City Engineer Homer Hamlin will
shortly get larger fees for curb, side
walk and gutter inspection:
The board of public works is in re
ceipt of the following report from thu
city engineer, which orecipitated the in
crease:
This department is now issuing
permits for the construction of curb.
sidewalk and gutter under ordinance
No. 1880 N. S. adopted by the city
council June a. 1906
This ordinance in section 3 thereof
provides that certain sums of money
shall be deposited with the city en-
gineer to pay the fees of this depart
ment for the engineering work neces-
sary in connection with making such
improvements.
The facts stipulated in said ordi-
curb, and " cent per square foot for
curb, and " cents per square foot for
sidewalk and gutter.
An examination of our books dis
closes the fact that these rates do
not fully remunerate the department,
and that for the period of eleven
months ending October q, 1907. our
net charges against this class of work
were $2455. So in excess of the fees col
lected as authorized by said ordinance.
This represents a loss to the city of
approximately 1925 per month.
l therefore recommend that these
fees be increased to cents per
lineal foot for curb, and l per cent
square foot for sidewalk and gutter,
and that you request the city attor-
ney to prepare a new ordinance au-
thorizing such charges, and to pre-
sent the same to the city council for
it's adoption as soon as possible"
This report was yesterday adopted b.
the board and the council and the cit.
attorney was instructed to prepare tn
draft of the necessary ordinance.

Citv Auditor ". c. Mushet in ringing
speech asked the city council yesterday
10 instruct the city's law department
to bring suit to forfeit the franchises
Of the street railroad companies of Los
Angeles.
Lfis reouest grows out of the campaign
for higher licenses for street cars, wnlch
the auditor has been waginS in MS ca
pacity of fiscal agent, demanding All
revenues due the city
The auditor differed with City Attorney
Leslie r. Hewitt in his construction OF
the present license ordinance ana toio
the council that there could be but one
construction.
Disaqrees with Lawyers
Mr.. Hewitt stated that he agreed In
the main with former City Attorney w.
b. Mathews, whose deputy he was III
fixing the license based on the average
number OF cars operated on city tracks
at the busiest hours of the day.
Mushet's contention was that the aV-
erags number OF cars for three months
should be added up and divided by thir-
ty. thus giving complete average 1or
the quarter.
The present syster: was devised by MT.
Mathews. and the trolley attorneys pres
ent corroborated Mr.. Hewitt in saying
that such basis of estimating was liked
between 4he city and the companies at
the time.
Mr.. AIushet argues that the simplest
way is to license each car owned by each
company regardless of what trips it
makes.
In his Introductory remarks Mr..
Mushet said deliberately:
"DeIiberately Violate Laws"
''I charge that the street railroad com
panies are deliberately. willflrly and per-
siste: -ly violating the license laws of the
city, and 1 ask that your honorable body
instruct the city attorney to at once COM
mence suit, not only for the proper
amount of license due for the present
quarter, but also for the amount under
paid by them during the last three years,
which will exceed $4,000. and 1 further
ask that your honorable body instruct
the city attorney to at once commence
the necessary proceedings against the
railroad CON panies for the forfeiture of
their franchises"
