The amount OF Improvements accom-
plished in East Los Angeles within the
past few years is truly astonishing Many
miles OF water pipe have been laid in the
principal streets, and no place can boast
Of better supply OF water for domestic
use, or for lawn sprinklng, than is laid
down in all parts OF the section beyond
the river. The gas companies have
rivaled the water companies in their
efforts to furnish lighting facilities equal
to the means OF supplying water. Then
the grading of streets has been carried
on in all directions. 1t is estimated
that the progressive citizens OF East Los
Angeles have paid out not less than
Sl0O,000 for street improvements during
the past wear. There are ample results
to show for this. The thoroughfares
there are in excellent condition. There
are fifty miles OF good streets in East Los
Angeles, and large portion OF these are
well sdewalked Eight years ago there
was but one bridge to connect this quar-
fer OF the city with the business to-day
there are no less than four.
And ii East Los Angeles has grown
rapidly in the past, her future is still
better assured. The Southern Pacific
Railway has recently purchased forty
acres of land on the river and on the
line OF their road on its eastern branch
1t is the purpose OF this great corporation
to erect magnificent shops on this prop
erty for the repair OF their rolling stock
on this Divi, ion, and for the building OF
new cars, etc. Not less than 1000 men
will he employed in these works. The
buildings will be begun in few weeks,
and il few months will be in opera
ton.
Again, on the eastern edge OF East Los
Angeles, the County Board OF Supervisors
will soon do away with the County Hos
pital. which is to be removed to Los
Nie,os. The property in East Los An
celes now owned by the county, will then
20 into private hands, be subdiyided
for residence and business purposes, and
this will greatly accelerate the boom in
that part o e Pueblo. The city has a
tine park near this hospital property
that is, il is fine place for park. The
land is there and all it needs is putting
IN order. This the cty is preparing to
DO al an early day. Vegetation grows at
an unwonted pace in this Semi-tropic
region, in a very short time the East Los
Angeles park will be as beautiful fea-
turs IS one could wish to find in any
landscape.
Another principal factor in the future
development OF East Los Angeles, will
be found in the Monrovia Rapid
Transit railroad which will pass
III ough this section of the
cty as il reaches the city center. |
Trains will be run each hour OF the day
from sunrise until midnight. By this |
route it will take less than FIVE minutes |
to reach the Plaza from the station at the |
edge OF the city. 1t passes close by the !
