The Future of Our City

From business standpoint, as well as
from that OF pride. to those who may
agree with me as too the wonderful
future in store, not only for this city, but
of all Southern California. it may not be
considered impairment in me. as tax
payer. to make few suggestions, at least
worthy II consideration by those in au-
thorty. Take, Tor instance. the granting
OF street car and other franchises; instead
OF virtually giving them for mere
pittancesof $50 to $500. why not adopt a
plan easier by far in the beginning to the
company wanting the franchise than to
pay the cash sums they bid-and far bet
ter for the city twenty fold over in time
by adopting tine Chicago plan or certain
per cent on their gross receipts. In the
last ten years of fifty year franchise
they charge the company 10 per cent. We
need not be quite SO severe. but allow
them to run certain mum Der OF years
free. after which let the companies or
persons wanting franchise pay gradu-
ated incrt ase each ten years on their
gross receipts. From car line similar
to our present electric. whose cars often
seem to storm and speed down Spring
street at an apparent rate OF fifteen m lies
an hour. from which all other objects
must clear The track such franchise,
when this becomes q city of 20U. 600 peo-
pie, by this method will pay our city
500, 900 or more. Again. there is on file
in the city clerks office an offer from me,
repres 1ntlng the owners of the entire
block from Sixth to Seventh and from
Hill to Broadway (the st. Vincent College
block), to sell it to the city for city hall
and other city purposes for $4,000. since
which time it has been worth $500, 200,
and as to the time it appears but as yes
terday. The proposition was then consid-
cred 'scbeme' and the block lin
the country" The city then
boaght the lot upon which the
present "excuse" for a city hall
was built. The city officials are now cast
ing about for separate lots upon which to
build the necessary adjuncts to the city
hall-when today this city shoud point
with pride to a city hall upon an entire
block, surprising our beautiful court
house. Is it too late to buy an entire
and render it impossible in future TO
properly ornament our city with city
nall in keeping with our future?
Again. If ,hece is any one question
that has raised doubts in the minds of
people who would be impartial to ad-
ditions TO our city, it is that OF fuel: and
now that this city. above all other points
i'll the United states. promises to take
the lead for cheap fuel, in the shape of
our inexhaustible supply OF coal oil for
manufacturing and other purposes. there
seems to be an effort on the part of some
of our officers to throw every obstacle in
the way of its development, when there
should be given every possible encourage
ment and latitude.
The above are but three of the many
equally valuable points that we should
weigh well if we expect success.

FRECKLES.

Women who have suffered year after year
from these annoying blemishes, freckles-
who have seen them come under the rays
of the summer sun and disappear when the
yearly reign of King Sol is over-are illogi-
cal enough to consider the glowing monarch
accountable for our annual crop of freckles.
All sorts of reasons have been given for
these annoying pigmentary discolorations.
One well known dermatologist declares
they are the result of too much iron in the
blood, and that the suns rays bring the
iron stained spots to the surface, just as
they do to bit of cloth which has come in
contact with iron and then is put in the
sunlight In other words, that freckles
are iron rust.
Professor Hebra OF Vienna, who is &C
counted the greatest authority of his cen
rury, insists, on the contrary, that the sun
does not produce freckles. He says: at
is fact that lentigo (freckles) neither APP
pears in the newlyborn nor in children
under the age of or years, whether they
run about the whole day in the open all
and exposure to the bronzing influence OF
the sun or whether they remain confined in
the darkest room. 1t is therefore true that
neither light nor air nor warmth produ ces
such spots in children.'

There sat Carrie, the baby in her arms,
