ARROYO APPROPRIATION
REDUCED, NOT ENLARGED
Council Cuts Down Expense for Storm
Drain Recommended by Board
of Public Works

Contrary to the recommendation or
the board of public works the council
not only refused to increase the ap-
preparation from $4,000 to $4,000 for a
storm drain to relieve the Garvanza
arroyo. but cut down the appropria-
ton of $4,000 to $4,000 and ordered the
city engineer to build his storm drain
accordingly.
Last week the council appropriated
$4,000 for this storm drain, although the
board of public works asked $4,000,
that the drain might be constructed TO
conform to the plans of the city en-
gineer and become a part of a per-
manent drain system.
When the city engineer began to re-
wise his plans to meet the reduced
amount he found he could build a
storm drain of 20-inch pipe for $4,000,
but it would have only one-siXth the
capacity of the drain originally planned
and could never be used as portion OF
a. permanent syetem. He found the
use of steel water pipe would still fur
ther reduce the cost, as this pipe can
be secured secondhand, from the
water company at rs cents foot.
When the board made this report To
the council it recommended the original
plans of a concrete drain be permitted
to stand and the appropriation of SlO,-
900 made. The council, all except
Dromgold. in whose ward the troubles
some Garvanza arroyo is located, felt
the city could not afford to set aside
$40 900. so the amount was reduced and
the city engineer instructed to use the
secondhand water pipe.

SALARIES OF TWO CITY
CLERKS ARE INCREASED
Faithful Employees of Los Angeles
Government Recei' 2 Second Ad-
vance in Month

Ordinances passed by the city coun-
Gil yesterday increase the salaries of
Colonel w. G. Schrieber, clerk of the
opening and widening of streets, and
F. j. Palomares, assessment clerk,
from $3.50 month to $175 each.
This is the second increase in about
one month for these two, but every
member of the council, including Wal
lace, chairman of the finance commit
tee, who is most conservative in the
matter of salary increases, said he felt
it was deserved. Mr.. Wallace declared
these two were the most faithful and
efficient employees of the city govern
ment.
The second increase in so short a
time is due to the fact the finance
committee had intended to recommend,
when the last budget was reported,
these two employees be increased from
5 80 month, the salary they have Ie-
ceived for several years, to $175 a
month, but by some oversight, the rec
concentration reported to the council
was for an increase Of only $40 a
month.

REPEAL INDUSTRIAL
DISTRICT ORDINANCE
AREA OF TWELVE BLOCKS NOT
ASKED IN PETITION
Mayor Vetoes Act and. Council Sus-
tains Him-$25o 900 Enterprise
Wants Factory Site and
Will Get One

Declaring if the people in the district
did not want their property made
available for industrial purposes they
did not have to have it so, Councilman
Yonkin yesterday moved that the
mayors veto be sustained and the or
dinance making the district bounded by
Main, San Pedro, Seventeenth and Fiji
teenth streets an Industrial district be
repealed. The mayor had vetoed this
ordinance because of the strong pro-
test made against it, and in his mes
sage to the council declared fully rs
per cent of the territory in the district
was built up with residences.
1t developed later in the afternoon
that the council had exceeded the linn
its which had first been designed as
the boundaries for an industrial dis
trict in this section. A petition had
been presented asking only that the
one block between Maple and Santee,
Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets be
set aside for industrial purposes, but
that instead of taking these bounda-
ries twelve blocks had been included.
The petition for the industrial district
of one block only was signed by
and it was alleged if this block was
not fixed as an industrial district it
would hold up an industry worth $780,
900 that would be established in this
district.
When this was made clear the city
attorney was instructed to draw an or
dinance making the one block an in
dustrial district, but this will not be
necessary if the council repeals the
residence district ordinance as it con-
templates.

GARBAGE CONTRACT PUT
INTO FUTURE ONCE MORE
Must Be Advertised Once More Be-
cause of New Amendment Put
Before the City Council

Much to it's disappointment, the
council yesterday was again compelled
to amend the garbage ordinance.
Again the ordinance must be adver-
tised and again the board of public
works must ask for bids, and if many
more occasions for delay occur it will
be we'll into next year before the gar
bage contract can be awarded.
The necessity for the change in the
specifications was due to the hotel
and restaurant men, who complained
they could not get a garbage con-
tractor to carry their garbage five
miles from the city limits as the or
dinance requires, and they asked they
be also taken into the general pro-
visions of the ordinance. This was
done, and the general garbage con-
tractor will now get what has been
called the "cream of the garbage"
This may make the price to the city
lower on bids for hog feeding and re-
duction purposes.

go as far as it will, and if Los Angeles
cannot have free music all year it can
at least a portion of the time.
When the ordinance was introduced
yesterday it was opposed by Coun( IL
man Lyon. Mr.. Lyon wanted the mu-
nicipal band, but he also wanted the
ordinance to say that the band should
play sometimes at the Violet street
playground, which is in the Seventh
ward from which Lyon was elected.
He objected to leaving the detail of
where the band should discourse music
entirely to the band commission.
1t was pointed out by Councilman
Wallace the council did not attempt to
tell the police commission where 1t
should station policemen, and that de
tails of that nature should be left to
the body in control When the matter
came to a vote Lyon first voted mo,
but before the result was announced
changed to "aye" in order the vote
might be unanimous.

BETTER FOOD, INSTEAD OF
PH0NOGRAPHS," CRIES LABOR
Strong Protest Against Y. M. c. A..
Appropriation for Aqueduct Made
by Central Council

At the tail end of yesterdays session
the ordinance to appropriate $4,000 to
the "aqueduct welfare fund" came up
for consideration, but the matter was
put over until next Friday when the
council meets again.
This money is to assist the Y. NJ. c.
A. in carrying on its work among the
employees of the aqueduct who have
little to entertain them except the sa-
looms which are within easy reach,
and it is considered a good investment
for the city by majority Of the mem-
bers of the council
A protest against the appropriation
Of this money was received by the
council from the Central Labor coun-
ell. The protest is as follows:
AT the regular meeting of the Gen.
trail Labor council held Friday, Sep
tember "a, the proposition to have the
city council appropriate $4,000 for the
purpose of affording entertainment for
the employees of the aqueduct came up
for discussion.
"The Central Labor council does not
believe that the expenditure of this
sum of money for the purpose stated is
warranted. What the aqueduct en-
ployes need more than entertainment is
pure, wholesome food and the right to
purchase it where they deem best, bet
ter living quarters and sanitary sur
roundings, the payment of better
wages, and these when due, without
having TO wait for their money from
two to six weeks.
''These things are more essential to
the comfort and happircss of the aque-
duct employees than would he phono-
graphs and pool tables, and the Gem
trail Labor council protests against the
appropriation of the money for enter
tainment until such time as the en-
ployes themselves request such appro-
priation."

COUNCIL WILL REPEAL
RESIDENCE ORDINANCE
CITIZENS OBJECT TO ELIMIN-
ATlNG INDUSTRIES
Members of City Government Appoint
Committee to Investigate Merits
of Protests Against Proposed
Industrial Districts

Regretting its action in passing the
ordinance making the entire city
residence district, except in certain
places, the council yesterday practlc-
ally declared its intention to repeal
this ordinance and leave the matter
of industries in the hands of the fire
commission, where it was before the
ordinance was passed.
In order not to be hasty in the repeal
of the ordinance as in its passage
committee composed of Councilmen
Healy, Blanchard, Wallace, Dromgold
and Yonkin was appointed to consider
the matter and recommend to the
council such action as is deemed ad-
visable. This committee expects 10
report next week.
Ever since the residence district or
dinance was passed the council has
known no peace. Not week has
passed that demands have not been
made that certain portions OF the cley
be set aside for industrial purposes,
and each demand has brought Its pro-
test from property owners who have
built residences in the district. About
half the time of the council has been
consumed in hearing discussions over
these industrial districts.
This was true yesterday when the
matter of repeating the ordinance max
ing the territory bounded by McClin-
took, Santa Monica and Thirty sew
enth place, an industrial district was
brought to the attention of the council
Protest Is Strong
The protest against this district for
industrial purposes was strong, the
front footage signed to the protest
aggregating nearly a mile and a half
The protestants contended this district
was built up with homes and it was
at the north end of Agricultural park
where much money is soon to be ex-
pended for improvements. The district
was set aside for industrial purposes
on the petition of Fairchild-Gilmore-
Wilton, who wish to establish a rock
and san hoist in the territory at a
place where a lumber yard has been
operated for years.
George p. Adams, we'll known cor
poration attorney, was one of the in
terested property owners who protested
against the industrial district. The
paving company was represented by
John G. Mott and Sam Haskins.
The council deferred action in the
matter for two weeks and in the mean
time an effort will be made to have
this industrial district condemned for
park purposes and added to Agricul-
tural park. If this is done it entirely
will eliminate the industries that have
already been established in this district

TWO SITES FOR CITY
HALL ARE PROFFERED
PHILLIPS AND TEMPLEB BLOCKS
MAY BE HAD
Council Receives Bids, Each of Which
Names Half Million Dollars
on Easy Terms as
Price

Only two bids were received by the
city council yesterday for a site for
the city hall, and both the bids sub
mitted were in the neighborhood of
Temple block. In fact, one Of the bids
was for 'he Temple block itself. Both
bids asked 100000 for the property
offered
w. w. Mines offered to sell the prop.
erty known as the old Phillips block
and formerly occupied by the Ham
burger department store on North
Spring street. This property has a
frontage of 12O feet on Spring street.
21S on Franklin and 125 on New High
street. Mr.. Mines asked $500 0O0 for
the property, 100000 &c be paid at the
time OF purchase, and S10O 900 each
year thereafter, with interest at 6 per
cent.
r. A. Rowan offered the Temple
block, bounded by Main, Spring, Mar
ket and Temple streets, for half a mill
lion, but made the payments easier
than the Mines proposal. He offered to
sell it for only $4,000 down and $50 900
the following year and installments of
$4,000 until the sixth year, when the
installment would be 100000, and the
same amount the seventh year
Referred to Building Committee
Both these proposals were referred
to the building committee, and there
are likely to stay, although both bid
ders will demand action soon, as they
deposited checks for $1,000 each with
their bids and will want The checks
returned.

SUGGESTS HIGH PRESSURE
SALT WATER FIRE SYSTEM
Finance Committee Has Hard Prob
lem to Determine How San Pedro
Will Be Protected

The recommendation of the fire COM
mission that a high pressure salt water
system be provided for San Pedro was
yesterday referred by the council to
the finance committee. The finance
committee will have a hard problem
to determine where the money shall
come from to construct and equip the
plant recommended by Fire Chief Lips.
The chief estimates it will cost more
than $4,000 to build the pumping sta
tions for the system and lay the nee
essary mains and laterals, exclusive
Of the lot on which these pumping
stations are to be built.
The council does not feel justified in
using such a large amount of the
money turned in from the San Pedro
treasury fer this purpose alone, and
If it Is built at least part of the funds
must come from the treasury Of the
city proper.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-29

there is grave doubt that the council
has the right to dispose of the city nan
property without referring the matter
to a referendum vote of the people, as
new charter amendment requires IL
is not likely the council will make any
effort to purchase property for new
city hall. 1t had been the hope of the
council that it could sell the present
building and grounds, and with the
money thus acquired construct a mod
ern office building for city hall. But
unless the old building is sold there
will be no money for a new one.
1t is probably a knowledge of this
difficulty that deferred other real es-
tate men from making proposals to
the city yesterday. They realized
there was little chance that the council
would buy any property they might
offer and they did not care to tie up
$1,000 in a certified check with nothing
