City of Los Angeles Water Works Bond 1905 California. #328, document with an ornate border signed by Mayor Owen McAleer and other city officials, about 9 by 13 inches, punch cancelled in 1919 when the bond matured so there are no attached coupons, in very good condition. Watch the movie Chinatown with Jack Nicholson for a colorful account of how the city operated in water deals. The bonds also vary in their date of maturity as I have seen some come due in 1919 like this one and some in 1936.
