A PROTEST.
against the Proposed Location for
the High school.

To the People Of the City Of Los Angeles'
The City Council and Board of Educa-
ton have located the new High School
building upon CASTELAR, street, about 600
feet north of Sand street.
This is hagrant outrage upon very
large majority of the people of this city,
for the following reasons:
First. The surroundings OF this
locality are bad. Children should not
be educated in the midst of tombstones,
and with large cemetery Immediately
confronting them.
Second. For nearly one-hslf OF mile
the children will be compelled to climb
steep grades to reach the High School
fact which will be especially destruc-
tive to the health of girls.
Third. 1t is not upon any street-car
line, nor is it near one. Nineteen
twentieths of the children will be com-
PEELED to pay four fares each day to at
tend the High School-two going and
two returning-and even then toilsome
walk up steep grade for about 1000
feet still awaits them.
Fourth. Boyle Heights, East Los An
geles, and all the city south of First
street are ignored by the location, be.
cause there are plenty of spots on the
line of the cable cars where the children
cal be landed for one fare Immediately
at the door of the building, with no
steep grades to climb.
Fifth. The city is growing away from
the location as proposed by the Council
has long since left it, and the more time
elspses the greater will be the outrage
fho tn1 Will
be used to build this High School, and
whose children are expected to patronize
it. We therefore ask the people to vote
down the school bonds, because this is
the only way in which the people will
get High School building to which
thew can afford to send their children.
