will be up April 2, 1908. He says that no
interest has ever been paid on the bonds
and that the debt now amounts to some
thing like $4,000. He stated that he had
not yet decided just what action he would
take in the collection of the money, but
stated that there is no question as to the
legality of the debt. Continuing he said:
Il do not expect the city to pay all of
this money at once. 1t can pay so much
a year and l will allow ample time In
which to liquidate the debt-say ten years
or even longer. There Is no reason why
the city can't pay. The income of the
city is over $4,000 a year. The city all
the time has been going on the theory
that it could not pay this debt, that it is
not able, but this is mistaken idea"
This 100000 was secured ninteen years
ago to gravel several streets in Decatur.
But from the work the city received but
little benefit and today Che city has but
little to show for the money except the
debt. All along the city has been of the
opinion that this debt could not be coll
, lected for various reasons.
Just what the outcome will be or lust
what action the bondholders will take in
the collection of the debt remains to be
seen. Attorney Overall said that his trip
here was merely for the purpose of as
pertaining the city's present financial con-
dition and to have a talk with the city
authorities on the matter. These bonds
are held by a number of different persons,
the most of them being parties in st.
Louis.

TO ARGUE TRAFFIC
ORDINANCE MONDAY
COUNCIL READY TO PASS ON
CONGESTION BILL
Mayor Thinks Proposed Permit Rates
Are Too High, but Otherwise
Approves Pending Legis-
Iation

The traffic ordinance is scheduled for
hearing Monday in the city council.
This measure, which affects congestion
in the downtown section of Los Angeles,
was submitted to the council November
is, final action being laid over for fort
night
Mayor Harper said last night he ia
vored the ordinance except in two par
ticulars and he hoped to see it amended
in that respect
He thought the tax of $50 a month for
permits for standing vehicles obtained
through the police commission was too
high and should be reduced. He said it
is true some hackmen pay as much as
this to hotels now. but it is with the
understanding that all hotel business
shall be diverted to these vehicles as he
is informed.
The other Objectionable feature is re-
stricting the standing privileges to only
three autos or vehicles to each block He
says this is inadequate.
Both sides will be heard at the hearing
Monday.
Two districts are created by the ordi-
nance and doubtless representatives of
each will argue before the council.
The business district proposed extends
thus: Along Los Angeles street from
Alameda to Tenth; Main street from
Marchessaut to Tenth the entire
length of Spring and Broadway; Hill
street from Temple to South Main; all
cross streets from First to Tenth, be-
tween Hill and Los Angeles streets.
The congested district will be: Spring
street from First to Seventh; Broadway
from First to Seventh; all cross streets
from First to Seventh, between Main and
Hill streets
Traffic and speeding regulations are to
be more drastic in the congested district.
