INDEPENDENT DISTRICT.
A QUESTION NOW AGITATING THE
MAPLE AVENUE SECTION.
They Think They Should Have a Sewer
District of Their Own-A Peti-
tion That IL Now Being
Circulated.

Councilman Pessell has taken up the
cause of the people in the vicinity of
Maple avenue with reference to an indie.
pendent sewer district.
The residents in this section of the
city are very much stirred up about
their present relations with the general
| sewer system.
After vast amount of talk the matter
has taken shape by the formation of
petition to the city council, which is
now being circulated in the district
affected.
The petition, which clearly sets out
the points contended for, is as follows:
The undersigned owners of property,
in what is known as the Maple avenue
sewer district, would respectfully call
the attention of your honorable body to
the following:
That the said district comprises the
major portion OF the lands lying between
Main, San Pedro, Washington and First
streets.
That said district requires a district
sewer system.
That the present ordinance of inten-
tion not only provides for the sewers in
said district, but by reason of its loca-
tion with reference to other portions of
the city it becomes necessary to provide
larger-sized sewer on Maple avenue
and Los Angeles street than is required
for the needs of the district proper
owing to the fact that provision must be
made to carry the sewage from the Main
and Los Angeles street sewer districts
which lie north of us and which deliver
their sewage at our northern boundary.
That by reason of said increased size
OF the sewer on said Maple avenue and
Los Angeles street the cost of the sewer
system, as now provided for by ordi-
nance, will approximate $54, 600; whilst,
if the Maple avenue dittrict were re.
quired to provide for only that territory
which lies within it's confines, perfect
system suitable to its every requirement
could be constructed for $4,000, thus
placing an expense OF $4,000 additional
on the district.
In order that your honorable body
may have further facts to guide you in
this matter, we mention the fact that
if the system is built as prayed for by
US to cost will amount to rs cents per
front foot.
We would furthermore refer to the
fact that the average cost to the prop
e-ty owner in other parts of the city for
the sewer in front OF his lot has been 60
cents per front foot.
Most especially do we endorse the
action of your honorable body in order
ing a sewer system for our district, but
we wish to receive the benefits which
will accrue to US by virtue of it's con-
struction, at cost no greater than the
present portions OF the city already
severed have been compelled to pay.
Wherefore, in view of the above facts,
relying upon the sense of equity and
justice OF your honorable body. we re.
spectfully ask that you take such steps
as will give us the necessary relief, to.
wit, that we be not called upon to pay
for that which does not properly come
upon our shoulders.

WENDELL EASTON'S LECTURE.
He Eloquently Pictures the
Advantages of Beet Culture.
What Richard Gird Has Made Pos
sible for Small Farmers.
The Recent Development of This Great
Industry-What Has Been Accom-
plished at ChinO-The Profits
for tho Beet Grower.

Mr.. Wendell Eaeton, the we'll known
fnancier and real estate operator, was
greeted by large audience last night at
the opera house, the occasion being his
lecture on Southern California. He IL
lustrated his talk with fine stereopticon
views, and showed himself to be as able
and entertaining public man as he is
alert and successful as fnancier. His
effort was received with appreciative
applause, which it deserved. In brief
his remarks we're as follows:
The meeting this evening is the con-
tinuation of a series OF pubic meetings
which were inaugurated during the past
summer to take up aeries OF topics
with reference 20 the resources of
Southern California. At q previous
meeting irrigation was the subject OF
the evening, and tonight l propose to
consider the practical side of the ques-
tion as to the earning possibilities and
the development and and productive
ness this portion of our State.
In the limited time that is allowed for
an evenings discussion it will not be
possible to consider more than one of
bnC bOblO5 dbtnS bLO
earning capacity of certain classes of
lands in this part Of our state.
propose to devote the evening en-
tirely to adiscussion of the Beet Culture
and Sugar Making from the Beet.
About 10 years ago with the increase
of interest in this portion of California,
different sections materialized into
prominence. and one general statement
was made claiming all the territory lying
south OF Iehschepi as being one extern
sive citrus belt, and with the prospect
and expectation Of the planting OF q
large area small towns were outlined a
few miles from each other in anticipa-
tion of the time when these settled
points would materialize and become
valuable property. An over-production
of town lots WAS the result, and the
practical was lost sight of in the
strong realty movement which per-
vaded the entire country. With
the swinging back into natural channels,
investments changed character and a
rapid shrinksge OF prices was met, and
after period OF quiet of about five years
the natural elements and the resources
which Southern California possesses are
now receiving the proper attention, and
as reeult oi legitimate planting for the
paet five years II productiyeness is de-
monstrated by actual experience which
is now fixing permanent value on sg-
ricultural and fruit lande, and is also
serving to create strong and important
financial center in the city of Los An
geles with tributary important centers
at regular intervals throughout the
country. Realty matters generally
throughout Southern California have
now reached healthy condition, and
values are reaching permanent and

SoUrH pasadena, Dec. 2.--Between 8

from our townspeople. Mr.. and Mrs.

lived for years, only recently removing
to ranch near Burbank. The sympa-
thies of the people are with Miss Laura
