cause l was informed that a common beer
garden and resort for the low element
was contempt plated. Just now, however. l
have had the pleasure of meeting Otto
Wannack. and l must say that l never
met more agreeable gentleman. He is
unquestionably a gentleman OF culture
and refinement. He told me at length of
the plans that have been submitted to
him for buildings and landscape decora-
tions, and of the orchestra and dining
features which ho proposes to erect and
maintain, and l tell you it is something
which East Los Angeles and the whole
city. for that matter, may well be proud
OF. There is no question in my mind but
that these men are trustworthy. that they
have money and that they mean what
they say.
II understand that the investment
contemplated and already made, which
their plans will require, is well nigh
$100, 900. Such enterprise as that should
not be mistreated or sneered at. | live

A bystander and city official heard what
was said and assented to it heartily. II

had far shake. They have been pre-
judged. Such treatment as they have been
accorded would drive away capitalists
from any town on earth. Fair play is all
right, and these men should not be con-
