r
eented plans: Clayton d. Wilson
Hugh Todd, Preston & Locke, M. B.
Stewart and VIM. Edelman.
The plans OF Mr.. Wilson were accom-.
panied by beautiful water-color like
ness OF the proposed building. The coet
would bs between $4,000 and $4,000,
which makes it unlikely to be accepted.
THE PLANS PRESENTED.
Mr.. Wilson's design, given herewith,
while expensive is particularly appro-
pirate il the old Spanish style OF archi-
lecture and nomenclature are to be pre-
served.
The ground plan is in the form OF an
open court. in the center of which is q
raised band stand, and the whole is to
be surrounded by an arcade. A eeries
OF broad steps lead to the boat landing
on the lake front, and the projected boat
landing will rest on the pins already act
in the lake.
The whole structure, aside from the
band stand, can be used for sitting pur-
poses for the public; the corner towers
can be utilized for various purposes.
The construction Of the building is
timber frame covered with wire, lath
Spanish tile.
Architect Edelman presented plans
showing the dimensions of his idea of
the new boat house to be 40xS0 feet,
with annex OF eight feet proportion on
each side and uncovered approach to
the main pavilion. The boat house
contains circular stairs in the center
which lead to the band stand surmount-
ing the pavilion.
The building is partitioned off in the
cente4 with high railing by which the
crowds are controlled and prevented
from reaching the boat landing. The
building according to his plans will coat
nearly $500.
Mr. Stewart presented rustic plan
on the ground that the sum of $500 to
be appropriated is insufficient. His
plans show the building to be erected of
rough rustic slabs from the San Jacinto
and San Bernardino mountains.
The plans of the other gentlemen
were not explained in writing.

band stand were referred to the COM
mittee of the whole, to be taken up for
consideration at the park on a trip the
commission will take today.
