of Waivers

The board of public works is ready
to award the contract for paving
Downey avenue, to the Barber Asphalt
company for $92, 1863, the Barber COM
pany being the lowest of three bidders
for this big improvement.
Before awarding the contract the
board sent communication to the
council yesterday notifying 1t of sew
eral technical features in the construc-
ton of the work. The communication
stated that whi1e~the entire street was
nearly cut to the official grade there
were several places on Downeys avenue
where technical cuts would have to
be made, and these were lower tHAn

been the policy of the city to secure
waivers of damages from property
owners before making Improvements.
Such waivers had been secured, IL
as asserted.
Councilman Blanchard declared he
is familiar with the matter and as
sured the council there is not one
chlnce in a thousand for damage suits
being brought, if the Improvement is
fastened.
With its eyes open to the possibility
of such damage suits. but reassured
by Councilman Blanchard, the coun-
ell ordered the board to let the con-

Mrs. Rogers, who lives at S0314 South
Spring street, in her affidavit refers
to a deed, dated October 20, acknowl-
edged before J. Newton Bunch, as no.
tary, in which she, as grantor, is al
lowed to have conveyed land to l.. j.
Clark She says she knows nothing
about this deed and believes it is fraud
ulent.
S. M. Shepard who filed a suit for
the recovery of two lots in the Nc
Carthey Main street tract, which had
been exchanged for barren land in
Riverside county, has, according to
Mrs. Rogers affidavit, been reimbursed.
a deed for the Main street property
having been returned to him. Octo-
ber 26 she also gave a deed to Fred
Haigh for lot at ManZanita Heights
and another to Elizabeth Davis for
lot at Uneeda Place. These persons,
it is believed, also entered into trans
actions for the exchange of their hold-
ings for the Riverside county lands.
Attorney j. NJ. Davis of Davis, Kemp
& Post. representing Joseph b. Alex
ander and S. NJ. Shepard, in suits filed
against ]. Newton Bunch and others,
stated yesterday that the action of
Bunch in taking his own life spoke
for itself. Mrs. Rogers called at the
attorneys Office yesterday and said
she knew Bunch in San Diego some
wears ago and that he had swindled
her out of several thousand dollars.
Last spring, she said. she again met
Bunch in Los Angeles and he offered
to give her the Riverside county land
to liquidate his Indebtedness. This
land. she said, she believed to be val
liable and the transactions carried out
later, in which her name was used'
to be bona fide.

MALIBU ROAD CASE
CLOSES TESTIMONY
HAS BEEN IN LITIGATION FOR
FOUR WEEKS
In Similar Case Stipulation to Use
Same Evidence Will Be Entered
to Avoid Summoning Wit
nesses Again

Yesterday saw the end of the four
week trial of the Malibu road case be-
fore Judge Oster of San Bernardino,
sitting for Judge Hutton, so far as
taking testimony is concerned. Argu-
ments which will occupy two days, will
begin Wednesday of next week.
Another case, similar to the one just
finished. will begin today. In this case
Mrs. May x. Rindge is plaintiff and
Frank c. Prescott, jr., and others, de-
PENDANTS. Mrs. Rindge seeks to re-
strain the defendants from travelling
over the much-used highway where 1t
crosses the Malibu ranch, or from using
tributary roads leading to large num-
Der of ranches in the vicinity. A stipu-
lation win probably be entered into pro-
viding that testimony taken during the
trial just closed may be used in the
pending case. so il will not be neces-
sary to summon a large number of
persons from the country surrounding
the Malibu ranch.

RAILWAY WILL NOT
PAY OVER $4,000
SAYS FRANCHISE OF LINE OVER
BRIDGE is TOO SHORT
company's Refusal to Pay Greater
Sum viii Give City One viaduct
Without Street Car
Tracks on 1t

The Los Angeles Railway company
yesterday refused to pay more than
$4,000 as it's share toward building the
new Main street bridge and, as a re-
suit, the city may build its own bridge
without calling on the railway COM
pany and have one bridge in the city
free from street car tracks.
In a report on the matter to the
city council, the board of public works
said the franchise for the line that
runs over the Main street bridge ter
inmates in seven years and, as a con-
sequence, the railway company did not
feel like paying more than $4,000.
The statement that this franchise
had but tlSseyen years more lease of life
was news to Attorney Sam Haskins,
who represents the Huntington inter-
ests in the city council, and he hustled
down to the Ncity clerks office to in
vestigate the. matter. He found under
an old franchise it would have but
seven years more, but that in 1894
franchise had been granted for fifty
years to electrize the road. But he
still contended his people were unwil-
ling to pay more than $4,000 as their
share of the bridge, stating he had re-
ceived bids offering to build concrete
structure that would suit the railroads
purpose for much less than that
amount.
The entire cost OF the bridge will
be approximately 100000 and, accord
ing to the proportions the railways
have paid for other bridges, it was
supposed the Los Angeles company
would pay little more than 100000.
The railway has a franchise over the
river at this point and the city at
torney was asked to find out il the
city could build a bridge here without
taking the railway into partnership.

Mayor Sends II Back to City Council
with Message Explaining in
Detail the Reasons for
His Veto

Mayor Harper yesterday sent a
message to the city council vetoing the
drinking fountain or
dinance passed by that body week
ago.
With his veto the mayor attached a
protest from the Merchants and Man
ufacturers' association. He declared
the ordinance granted a special priv
ilege for which the city should be
paid. that it was insanitary, that it
gave envious cities an opportunity to
say water was so scarce in Los Angeles
it had to be peddled at penny glass
full and that there was no provision in
the ordinance against advertising on
the fountains.
Consideration on the message was
deferred one week.

mise agreed on by the State Spiritualist
association and a large number of
mediums and fortune tellers repre-
sented by Attorney Earl Rogers.
The purport of the ordinance is to
prevent fraud in the practice of
mediumship and is similar to the one
in force in Chicago and Portland.

written on, but in all respects con-
