The Coming Fourth.

One hundred or more were present
at the adjourned meeting of citizens
at the County Court room last even
ing and the assemblage was enthusi-
astic and harmonious. Mr.. Ayers,
the chairman, called the meeting to
order and stated that the object was
to receive the report of preliminary
committee on permanent committees
and plan of celebration. J. R. Brier-
ly, chairmen of the cammittee SUBJ
mitted the following report:
We the committee recommend for
the celebration, grand procession of
all citizens of Los Angeles county. In
addition 10 the usual literary exercis-
es, We favor the preparation of his
torical sketch of Los Angeles county.
AS many people from the country will
be IN the city, we recommend arrange
ments for barbacue. We also favor
an exhibition of fire works.
AS the proper location for literary
exercises without imposing upon the
good nature of our private citizens,
has been a source of trouble, your COM
mittee have consulted K. e. Hewitt,
Esq, Supt. of the S. P. r. R., who
offers the use of the new depot of the
