A few ordinances, such as an 1856 ordinance regarding the "Old Plaza, Sonora Town" in Los Angeles, were copied by Reeve for real estate agent William May Garland. Additionally, ordinances involving the "Grant of City Lands to the Pioneer Oil Company of Los Angeles" and the "Concession of Lands to Phineas Banning, Heirs, etc." were copied by Reeve for oil tycoon Edward Laurence Doheny and his business partners Charles Canfield, and Danziger.
