corporations have been allowed TO take
up too much OF the public lands. Not
only this, but they have been allowed
to increase their capitalization enor-
mouslv, and the poor man and the
farmer have got to pay the interest.
Applausel.
[ believe we ought to not only build
this boulevard to Pasadena, but to other
points in the county. / believe the
board OF electors could call for bond
election for the issue Of 100000 for the
construction of boulevasds, and if they
did 80 that the measure would be car
ried by the people.
/ believe it would be advisable to form
committee of 40 men OF this city,
Pasadena and the points between these
places. Let Los Angeles build the por-
ton in the city, the supervisors take
care OF the county portion, and South
Pasadena and Pasadena build their por-
tions, and in this way the work can be
done and the needy unemployed work
men given labor. Applause
A CONDITION THAT MUST BE MET.
Prof. g. II. Keyes OF Pasadena was
called on and stated the people were
confronted by condition that must be
met. We should not alone consider
that this 10 altogether a work OF charity,
because it is a work OF public necessity.
Our merchants will only prosper as the
people prosper, and it is useless to in
vite people here to country that has
its army Of unemployed. We must be
able to take care of our own unem-
ployed as a business proposition and
stop talking about charity. TApplause.l
The building of this boulevard will
enhance the value OF all property
along the line, and indeed the prop
erty of the whole county. II we want
to bring good class OF citizens here
we must go ahead and provide legiti-
mate employment for our worthy un-
employed. This is the era for the build
ing of good roads and it is time that
We began to build the roads OF Southern
California. l believe in giving these
unemployed workmen work and not
charity. Give them chance to work
and they will quickly segregste them.
selves from the hoboE. RiverHte and
Santa Barbara take pride in their boule-
wards, and it is time that we should
have a driveway that will BECOME fs-
nous all over the world. [Applauae.l
MR.. LUrTwEILER's OPINION.
j. W. Luitweiler OF this city said he
was convinced that it was the ambition
OF every unemployed workman Of Los
Angeles to earn their bread by the
sweat OF their brows, and all they want.
ed WAS an opportunity to work. He was
willing to extend the boulevard as far
as Riverside and join on to the famous
Magnolia avenue. In addition | am in
favor of the city issuing bonds and going
ahead with the development OF her
parks. [Applause.l
C. NJ. SIMPSONS REMARKS.
Captain G. M. Simpson of Pasadena
said the necessity for boulevard was
admitted, and there could not be bet
ter time to build it than the present
time. There are hundreds of wealthy
men who are willing to contribute to a
fund for the promotion OF this work if
they are satisfied that it will give labor
to our unemployed workmen. The time
is propitious for the building Of this
boulevard, and it should be constructed.
1t will enhance the value all along the
route more than two fold, and every
property owner should work tor its pro-
motion.
