NO REASON FOR OBJECTION

The City Council has as yet failed to
appropriate sum to the Fiesta fund. 1t
is understood that the delay is due to GER
tain protests by individuals and by an
organization whose action is attributed to
the fact that no special provision had
been made for the display of the national
flag during Fiesta week.
The Advisory Board of La Fiesta, by a
unanimous vote, decided some days ago
that the Stars and Stripes would form
part of the street decorations and thereby
removed all objections urged by the sign
ers of the protests.
La Fiesta is not a private undertaking,
suggested and conducted for the purpose
of money making. 1t has become a
patriotic affair, having passed its expert
mental stage, until it is now part of the
history of Los Angeles.
Last year it was in its infancy but it
has gained the strength of maturity by
force of public opinion and in the realza-
ton that it is fostered for the welfare of
the entire city. The benefits derived from
the carnival are shared by all alike, and
the expenditure of public money is there
fore as much a necessity as the payment
of public funds for the improvement and
maintenance of the public parks.
There should be no longer any OBJ
stacles to the prompt payment of part
OF the fund for La Fiesta.

To the Editor of the Herald :-Thi1

For nine years have received letter

DAYS longer for a letter to come from
Ohio to Los Angeles than to University
called suburb of the holy CITY, 81
find that letter going from Los Ant
geles to the East will generally make the
trip as quickly as those starting from
more favored points like University, The
Palms, Burbank, or Monrovia, though
slightly in favor of the letters starting
from the said suburbs towns. / remark
also that although my name and address
have been in the city directory for nina,
years, and have gone to the Office every
few months to remind somebody of that
serving them in the advertised list untit
too late to secure them. IL
The last case against the Office Is as fol-

or fortieth time, and got my letter. & 81
OF course the genius who handles th6
mail for the territory adjacent to the Sew,
enth street school thought that the school,
would be open on Sunday and legal hollis
days only, and that it would not be
proper for him to mangle the Sabbath By
an attempt to deliver my letter on that
day.
/ send and receive about four hundred
pieces Of mail matter per month, and &
have observed that the average time from
here to Chicago is five days, from here
to any postoffice within Los Angeles
county two or three days. .s n
took occasion to inquire into the mat
ter somewhat, and came to the conclusion
that the majority of the clerks and letter
carriers were both honest and competentS
but that a few incompetents should b
dropped and that the Office in generals
needed much more supervision. Allow
me to remark, in conclusion, that the.
young man who carries letters down Macy

WIDE-TIRE ORDINANCES

The Sacramento Record Union while
commencing the adoption of wide-tire
ordinance by Riverside county to prevent
the destruction of new roads, fears that il
will be ineffective until there is general
law on the subject. Placer county, the
Record Union says, has wide-tire ordi-
nance also but it is sleeping because wag-
ons of narrow tires belonging in adjacent
counties roll into Placer and cut up the
roads the wide tires make, hence the
Placerites do not feel it to be just to en-
force law upon their own which the
stranger may violate with impunity. So
it will be in Riverside, the Sacramento pa
per thinks. There is wide-tire bill be-
fore the Legislature and it mas favorable
committee report. But the bill simply
gives the Supervisors power to pass ordi-
nances on the subject. The bill may as
well pass as an educational measure; were
it obligatory, however, there would be
great virtue in it, 1t is possible that I'M
der it some counties may be encouraged
to adopt the ordinance towards which the
bill looks; but general law to take effect
two years hence is what the late Road
Convention advised, and it knew what is
needed in this matter.
