WORK ON SIXTEENTH
STREET CAN PROCEED
PROTEST Is 0VERRULED BY
CITY COUNCIL
Proprietor of Harvard Military School
objects to Assessment, Having
Decided Free Forty-Foot
Strip to City

At last the work of opening and
widening Sixteenth street. from the
eastern boundary of Rosedale cemetery
to Western avenue, can go on. Appar-
emily the last obstacle has been over
come and the Improvement that was
proposed and begun four or five years
ago has reached the point of advertis-
ing for bids for the contract.
The last obstacle was the protest Of
G.. C. Emery, proprietor of Harvard
military school, made before the coun-
Gil yesterday. Mr.. Emery's protest was
to the amount of the assessment he
would have to pay. The Harvard
school is on the corner of Western ave-
nue. and Sixteenth street, and the
grounds extend along Sixteenth street
for two blocks. The assessment against
Mr.. Emery for this frontage is $29SO
of which 1880 is assessed to pay for
frontage condemned along Sixteenth
street to widen the thoroughfare.
Mr.. Emery objected to paying this
$3.50 on the grounds that he had al
ready decided the city forty-foot strip
on sixteenth street, extending the en-
tire length of his property, free, and
he considered it unjust that he should
be compelled to pay for other forty
foot strips condemned for the street
widening.
Several members of the council were
of the same opinion as Mr. Emery, but
as the council had established prece-
dent in similar cases of sustaining the
assessment it took the same action In
this case, and Mr. Emery will have to
pay the amount demanded as far as
the council is concerned.

HEALY PLEADS AGAINST
LOSS OF "BUENA VISTA

By vote of eight to one yesterday
the city engineer was instructed "
prepare an ordinance changing the
name of Fort street, from First 10
Bellevue, Buena Vista, from Bellevue
to the river, and Downey avenue from
Avenue Eighteen to Mission roao' To
Broadway. e,,o,,,
The one negative vote was from
Councilman Healy, who instead OF Ia,
yoring changing the name OF Buena
Vista to broadway, was In favor OF
changing all of Broadway to Buena
Vista. He thought Buena Vista
much prettier name and every CITY
in the country had it's Broadway,
while so far as he knew Los Angeles
was the only one with its Buena vis.a.
The old associations and early history
of Los Angeles recalled by the name OF
Ruena Vista was another argument ne
gave for his negative. 1t Is seldom
that Barney" grows sentimental ana
when he does he collapses in heap.
Councilman Dromgold, who is re-
sponsible for the measure, told tne t,;
council that Buena Vista would sun
retain it's name from Temple TO 6elie-
vue, and it was the only place Where
tbe name really fits, as 1t was high
ground on these two blocks ana the
only place where a beautiful view
could be had. Downey avenue. he SAID
would still retain its name from the
river to Avenue Eighteen. Fort street
is that which Is now known as Nortn
broadway, from First to the tunnel,
but which has never officially been
named Broadway.
The ordinance will be presented py
the city engineer as soon as the paw
ing of Downey avenue is completed
1t would be inexpedient to change the
name before as 1t would confiict WIN
the Vrooman act, under which the
paving is being done.

COUNCIL IS NOT COMPELLED TO
SUBMIT CHARTER AMENDMENTS
Attorney Hewitt Rules That Will of Eleven Thousand
Voters May Be Disregarded, but Hints Gently
That Delay Would Be Dangerous
for the City Fathers =

The council is not compelled to sub
nit the charter amendments proposed
in the initiative petition of the NUM-
cipal league at a special election If it
chooses the council may wait until the
next general election of the munich
pality a year from January.
Such was the opinion of City Attor-
ney Hewitt to the city council given at
it's session yesterday. but-City Attor-
ney Hewitt has attached a string to the
opinion that makes it appear advisable
for the council to submit the amend
ments at a special election, and that
as speedily as possible.
Clothed in much legal verbiage and
advanced cautiously and with much
forethought, as is the habit of the
city attorney, the opinion is in effect
that the petition was submitted at this
tinue with the apparent intention of
having the amendments acted on by the
voters as speedily as possible so they
may be acted on by the legislature at
the session this winter, and that If ac-
ton is delayed they cannot come before
the legislature for two years, and that
inasmuch as about 11,000 voters have
expressed such a desire it would be
expedient on the part of the council
to harken to this desire.
Opposition In Council
There is certain element in the city
council opposed to these charter
amendments. This element is composed
of three members. Six members of the
council are more or less in favor of
the amendments, but there is a chance
that one of them might not vote for
the special election. If the three men
who are frankly opposed and the
doubtful one vote not to have a spe-
cial election, no special election can be
called, as it would take six votes to
call it.
Healy is the leader of the opposition.
There is no doubt on what side Healy
has allied himself When he heard the
city attorney say yesterday that the
council was not compelled by law to
call special election he had sug-
gestion to make at once.
"Let this committee appoint fifteen
freeholders to be voted on at the next
general election, these freeholders to

portance is not in evidence. Both San
Diego and San Francisco are on the
map in large letters, but the fact Is
evident that this city has no harbor
sufficient to attract the attention of
the English shippers.
THAT map is strong argument to
wake Los Angeles people up on the
harbor question" said A. P. Fleming.
secretary of the harbor commission,
yesterday. Here is an important CEN
ter with large importing and exporting
interests, but 1t is off the map simply
because it is behind on the question of
an adequate harbor. If we get the
