School Houses.

There Is no denying the fact that
one of the necessities of our city is in
creased school room facilities. Our
schools are over crowded and more
school houses must be built. But we
should meet this want on the most
economical basis that can be devised
and the issuance of bonds to the am
cunt of $50, 900 for this purpose is not
the best and wisest method that can
be hit upon. Our Legislative delega-
ton now hold bill authorizing the
city to issue bonds in the amount
above named for school house purpos-
es. 1t is a wild and expensive pla n
for supplying a want. These bonds
could not be sold for more tn an nine
ty cents. Here is clear loss of $3,-
900 to say nothing of the interest
which will probably amount to half
the principal by the time the bonds
are paid. This will prove an expens-
i've method of building school houses.
Our Senator and Assemblymen will
of course see the injustice of saddling
this unnecessary expense on our peo-
pie and pigeon hole the bill. The bes t
and most economical way to build
school houses when the funds are not
on hand is by special tax. To raise
$50, ,00U tax of few cents on each
one hundred dollars worth Of taxable
property in the city, will be sufficient
and there will be no loss on convert
ing bonds into coin nor annual pay
ment of interest on school house
bonds. If we cannot build school
houses without issuing bonds We had
better rent and convert into school
rooms the property of private individ-
uals.

University Of Southern California.

An important move was made in
this city yesterday by the incorpora-
tion of the University of Southern
California, by gentlemen whose busi-
ness, educational and financial stand
ing guarantees success. The Board of
Regents for the first year are as fol-
lows: DR.. w. T. Lucky, Gov. ]. G..
Downey, E. S. Spence, H. XIV. Bent,
T. A. Carey, Of Los Angeles, Jonathan
Bixby, of Cerritos Rancho, A. r. Me-
serve, Of Santa Cruz, U. Thomson, of
San Bernardino, J. A. Johnson, of
Santa Barbara, S. V. Blakeslee, of
Oakland and Louis Phillips, of Pomo-
ma. Those who are acquainted with
California affairs need not be intro.
duced to the above gentlemen, but for
the benefit of new corners, we will say
that DR.. Lucky is Superintendent of
the Los Angeles city schools; Gov.
ernor Downey is President of the Far
mers and Merchants tank in this city,
and Mr.. Spence is Cashier of the Com.

lar Postmaster, and Mr.. Carey stands

men on this coast, and is Presi-
dent of the Pomona Land Com.
pany; Jonathan Bixby is an extern
sive land owner and sheep farmer; A.
r. Meserve is Treasurer of Santa Cruz
county, and the owner OF large tract
of land adjoining Pomona on the
North, and Mr.. Thompson was one of
the founders of Obwlin College; ]. A.
johnson is the late proprietor and edi-
tor Of the Santa Barbara Press, and
Mr.. Blakesles is editor of the Pacific,
San Francisco, Doris Phillips owns a
third OF the San Jose Rancho of which
Pomona is part and is considered
very wealthy. The University Is to
be located at Pomona and the said
company have already set apart one of
their choicest forty-acre tracts on
which to erect the building, and will
also give two and half per cent. of
their gross receipts for sale of lands at
Pomona which will undoubtedly be
put into buildings. Many of the men,
bers of the Board of Regents own large
tracts of land near Pomona, and it is
expected that sufficient money can be
raised to put up good buildings the
present season with view to making
this eventually the leading education
al institution of Southern California.
Pomona is the right location for such
an institution and the neucus thus
found by the said company, will, We
predict, grow into mammoth proper
tions within few years if rightly
handled.

SIGNATURES are being rapidly

RENTS for business houses in the ell.
igible portions of the city are now al
least thirty-three per cent. higher
than they should be in order to insure
permaeent prosperity. But in the
face of the already high rental rates,
the Assignees of TEMPLE & WORK.
MAN propose to increase the rents on
the property owned by Mr.. TEMPLE
considerably above present rates.
The HERALD office, which is not fa-
vorite with the Assignees, is to be
taxed SIPS per month in place Of $50
per month now paid. The other ten.
ants of these houses, except those hav-
ing lease, will be required to pay an
advance of from one-fourth to one.
third more rent after the first of next
month, which will compel many to
vacate the premises. The HERALD
Publishing Company occupies on a
contract with Mr.. TEMPLE, and will
move when 1t suits lis convenience.

Gas.

1t is expected that our streets will
be lighted by public lamps on the first
Of March. For this act on the part of
our City Council, we are willing to
rise up and call them blessed. That a
city of the size and pretensions of Los
Angeles, should compel her citizens
to grope their way in the dark along
her public thoroughfares is crying
shame, and we hope it may never be
repeated Most of the lamp posts have
been set by the direction of the Gas
Committee of the Council. They ex-
tend along all of the streets where gas
mains are laid, including Main to
Seventh; Spring to Third; Fort to
Fourth; San Pedro to the l.. A. & /.
Depot and some distance on upper
Main and Alameda streets. A con-
tract has been made for 100 lamps but
only S4 have been located thus far.
and the remaining 16 will be reserved
