A letter written by Mr.. Hoghe on
the Goth Of last October is as follows:
Mr. Chas. Woolf, Tempe, Ariz;
My Dear Mr.. Woolf:-It has been
stated in your city that | am in favor
of placing the proposed bridge across
the Salt river, at the foot of Center
street near this city. This is an alb
solute falsehood. l have never advo-
Gated any particular location nor do ]
intend to. Should the legislature pass
bill making this bridge possible |
shall do my utmost to bring it to a
vote of the people as to where this
bridge should be located.
l have never stated that l wanted
this bridge in any particular location
and defy anyone to substantiate
their statement that l have.
l wish you would do all you can to
show this up as lie and the South
Side people have my word for it, that
should l be reelected supervisor, that
the people themselves shall decide for
me as to the location of this bridge.
l shall do my utmost to have it

With very best regards to all my

COUNCIL SETS DATE FOR
HARB0R BOND ELECTION
Issue of $6,5oo,ooo Projects Will Be
Brought Before the People
February 10

The date for the bond election for
voting S3,5000O0 for the development of
the owens river power and $4,000, 600
for harbor improvements was fixed at
February 16 by the city council yes
terday when the final ordinance call
ing the election was passed.
The first date suggested was January
26, but the city attorney yesterday
asked that this be advanced about two
weeks, as it is his intention to take
the matter to the supreme court of
the state in a friendly suit and deter
mine whether the call is valid
According to the city attorney, some
doubt has arisen If both bond elections
can be called at the same time and
also whether they both come under the
general. bond power of the city or the
special enactment.
Under it's general bonding power the
CITY is privileged to vote bonds to the
limit of $5,000000 for general improve
ments. But by special enactment the
city is privileged to vote bonds to the
amount Of something over $40,0OO,OOO.
OF the general bonding power $l5OO,OOO
has already been exhausted, leaving
but $3,500,000.
The city attorney declared yesterday
that it was clear the power develop
ment bonds could not be called water
bonds and they might properly come
under the general bond provisions and
that he believed the harbor bonds
would come under the provisions of the
special enactment
These are the questions the supreme
court will have to settle in a suit that
is to be brought Immediately and to
give time for the legal proceedings the
election was postponed

accommodate a city hall for this city. The
only possible way of making 1t available
would be to put upon 1t bulIolns ol 'he
character of office bulldlns Oh sucn a
height as to be inconVenient for a city nan
and entailing great expense for elevators
and even then handicapping rapid transac-
tion of business by the necessity OF Inueh
passing from floor to floor. Furthermore the
erection Of q building of such construction
would not come into the scheme OF the
"Robinson plan" which has come TO be
such fetch with us.
Besides, in view Of the much mooted luea
Of consolidation of the city and county OF
Los Angeles. there should be some eonsid-
Grafton of the inconvenience Of having the
two public buildings separated by whoie
city block of office buildings new and ODD
that VIII spoil the effect Of whatever build
ings the city may erect Moreover, the rem
pie block is so situated that its most I'M
posing entrance would face away from the
city, and the end toward the south would De
upon a small street.
Now IT is proposed by US to acquire for the
city the piece belonging to the Phillips es-
tate, situated upon Spring, FRANKLIN ana
New High streets occupied for so many
years by the Hamburger's Peoples store.
This affords more ground surface, is a far
better shaped lot is directly across from the
new hall Of records, and can be made one
Of a group Of buildings that will be credit
to the city, artisticaly as well as econom-
icaly
Every citizen remembers that the electrical
sign on the cid Peoples store could be seen
from any point on Spring street; in short
the building commanded the street, and a
city building at this point would be seen
from more points Of view than any other
spot in this town.
Also. mere ground space can be added to
this lot at present market prices for less
than the Bullard block ever be bough,
for, for with a city hall erected upon the
Temple block the price and value Of the
Bullard block would be enhanced as Ia
lie prohibitive. Also, placing the city hall
on Spring street would enhance the value of
the city's valuable holding on Spring street,
Mercantile place and also the present city
hall site.
The taxpayers and property holders are
already too overburdened to make any hasty
mistake about a matter of such permanen,
Importance and we urge that the council
reconsider this subject and give 1t more time
and more publicity.
Should the Phillips block be purchased, the
numerous city offices now paying rent could
be moved into the empty building, thus cut
ting down all outside expense.
Herewith is appended a plat which speaks
for itself. and also another taxpayers views
which coincide with ours at least upon the
inadequacy of the Temple block.
Perhaps II half as much energy as has
been expended by the north enders upon the
advocacy Of the Temple block should be put
upon this proposition we would arrive al
something much more desirable for the city.

ASKS TAILOR'S NAME
BE TAKEN Off TICKET
A. r. Holston Doubts If George Ed
wards Is Eligible to Serve as
City yAttorney-MayT Take
Matter to Court

A. r. Holston, Socialist candidate
for city attorney at the recent pri-
maries, made another demand yes
terday that the city council reconsider
its resolution in placing the name of
George Edwards on the ballot at the
general election and put his on in
stead. He asked that the council set
a time at which he could submit evi-
dence to prove that Edwards is a
tailor and not an attorney and there
fore not qualified to be a candidate
for the Office of city attorney. The
council refused his petition and Mr..
Holston says he will take his cause
into the courts.
City Attorney Hewitt and r. w.
Noleman, who appeared as counselor
for Holson, had an argument over the
meaning of a paragraph in section POI
of the city charter. This paragraph
reads:
"The council shall be the judge of
the qualifications of all elective Of
ficers."
Attorney Noleman held that this
gave the council judicial power and
that it could go behind the returns
and inquire into the qualifications of
candidate for office 1t was on the
strength of this sentence in the char
ter that Holston demanded the coun-
ell give him a chance to show why
his name should be placed on the tic
ket instead of that of Edwards, who
received only a few more votes than
he did.
The city attorney interpreted this
sentence as meaning that the council
had the right to inquire into the quail
fications of an officer only after he
was elected and that if a tailor should
be elected to the office of city attor-
ney the council could julge of his
qualifications to serve. but that a cam
didate for Office was not an officer
and that the council merely had ad-
ministerial powers.

time with the city council. The coun-
Gil is not in sympathy with the mayor
in his measures for economy, and even
Dromgold who sheds copious tears
every time a raid is made on the gem
eral expense fund, voted with his col
leagues yesterday.
Two ordinances increasing salaries
were passed by the council notwith-
standing the executive negative. These
were measures increasing the salaries
of seven inspectors in the electrical
department from 800 to $115 a month
and providing increases for a number
of office employees in the engineers de-
partment. 1t had evidently been all
cut and dried before the mayors mes
sages of disapproval were read to the
council.
When the first message was read
vetoing the increase for the electrl-
clans, Lyon moved that the action by
which the ordinance was first passed
he reconsidered, and when this was
done he moved that it be passed not
withstanding the objections of the
mayor. 1t required seven votes to do
this, and there were just seven mem
bers present in the council chamber
when 1t was done, as Wallace and
Wren were absent. Every one of the
seven voted for 1t without comment
Increase to Pay carfare
Lyon explained, after the ordinance
had been passed again, that it was de-
signed to pay the car fare of the in
spectors.
The ordinance increasing the salaries
of the employees of the engineers de-
partment took the same course and in
the same manner.
But it was evident the council felt
it had gone as far as it could without
more deliberate action, for a number
of demands for increases of pay were
referred to the finance committee in
stead of being Immediately approved.
The petition of the twenty-four chain
men employed in the engineers de-
partment that they be raised from $40
to $50 a month awaits decision of the
finance committee The city engineer
presented a report tending to show
that $40 a month was about S5 moro
than chain men employed by railroads
in this part of the country receive.
The chain men presented a report to
show that the engineer had made a
miscalculation and that the average
wage was $75 a month.
The recommendation of the board of
public works that a few clerks in the
bureau of street maintenance be in
creased was also referred to the finance
committee, as was a petition from
c. d. Gilmore, repairer of street signs.

With many groanings and upward

gold allowed the council yesterday to
appropriate $11,500 from the general

of the harbor fund.
To soothe his conscience he said the
money would be taken from the gem

money in the fund to take, or if it
could be replenished by increasing the

OPPOSES PLAN
FOR CITY HALL
MAYOR PRACTICALLY VET0ES
RESOLUTION
CAUTIONS COUNCIL TO GO SLOW
IN THE MATTER
Jraes That No Restrictions or Limita=
tions That Would Embarrass
Municipality Be Placed
in Deed

Believing that the city council has
acted hastily i'm contracting to pur-
chase the Temple block for city hall
site, Mayor Alexander yesterday after
noon practically vetoed the resolution
passed by the council providing for
the contract. In his message the
mayor points out that city and county
governments may soon be consolidated,
and that the county buildings can be
used for municipal purposes in that
event.
The message is not exactly a veto,
although it will have that same effect.
The mayor suggests that no restric-
tions OF limitations should be placed
in the deed that would embarraSS the
CITY. The mayors message follows:
return herewith resolution passed
by your honorable body November p
1903 authorizing the drawing of a con
tract for the purchase by the city OF
the property commonly known as the
Temple block.
In signing this resolution l desire to
call your attention to a consideration
that ought not to be overlooked in en-
tering on a contract in pursuance
thereof 1t is not unlikely that in the
near future the consolidation of city
and county governments for Los An
reles may become an accomplished fact
and in that event the present court
house and the hall of records now be-
ing erected by the county will become
city ana county DululuBS anu bo ustu
for municipal purposes. In view Of this
contingency, which is not altogether
remote one l think that no restrictions
or limitations should be made in the
deed that would legally embarrass the
city in the use or disposition of said
property
Considerable pressure has been
brought to bear on the mayor on both
sides of this question. But he con-
sidered the matter on its own merits
and then decided as he thought best.
One of the petitions that has been pre-
sented to him bore the signature Of
several prominent property owners, and
is as follows:
Property owners Protest
In behalf Of numerous citizens who feel
that undue haste has been made and INSULT
cient consideration given to the extremely
important matter Of selecting for the people
site for a permanent city hall for Los An
geles we wish 10 suggest that immediate
action be suspended and that further in
vestigation be made Of other and favorable
locations, particularly the one hereinafter
recommended.
We believe in the first place that the pro-
posed purchase of the Temple block is not
in accordance with the wishes of the great
est number of the people, but represents the
desire of a few OF the north enders, who
would look perhaps with equal favor on the
particular site advocate.
The Temple block is entirely inadequate TO

FACTORY DISTRICTS BARRED
FROM ANNEXED TERRITORY

Emmett Wilson, deputy city attorney,
yesterday advised the city council that
all the territory annexed to Los An
geles was under the restrictions of the
residence district ordinance and that
industrial districts could not be es-
tablished in these places without spe-
cial enactment by the council.
This opinion was delivered in re-
sponse to a petition of residents of
Arlington Heights that the district in
the vicinity OF Sixteenth street and
Second avenue be included in the resi-
dence district section in order that
they might get rid of an obnoxious
blacksmith shop.
