The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1895-03-07

attending the feature OF Installing the
carnival government will be so trivial as
to, in our estimation, have little bearing
in the matter, If you coincide with our
views in regard to carrying it out on the
plans outlined. M
With the cooperation of Col. W. II.
chamberlain, who has been added to our
committee and given charge Of arranging
this particular feature, we anticipate en-
tire success in working out the details.
We will, from time to time report our
progress in this direction to your board
We trust that you will act on this mat
ter at your earliest convenience, and give
us authority to proceed.
Respectfully submitted
Louis F. Vetter,
Chairman Amusement Committee.
The following letter has been sent out
by IT,, committee ON trades and manufac-
lures.
To the Merchants and Manufacturers OF Los
Angeles:
AS a matter not only of interest but OF
record, we would remind the merchants
of Los Angeles that the Merchants Asso-
cirtion, aside from organizing La Fiesta,
an accomplishment in itself that the en-
tliC otdOC may justly lCCl piOuu VI, nav
caused beneficial changes in municipal
and state laws greatly to the advantage OF
all business men. Among them we would
enumerate the removal of the monthly
license, formerly imposed by the city,
and the recent action for the defeat in the
Legislature Of the Seymour bill, which
would, if it passed, deprive our section OF
5000, 900 worth of business in supplying
state institutions in this locality. This is
the results of only one years work of
body Of merchants without former ex-
perience or precedent il matters OF this
nature. In the future we can reasonably
expect our past experience, thorough or
ganization, and the assistance of other
business men to result in benefits far in
excess OF anything in the past
1t is the desire of the directors of the
Merchants Association of Los Angeles to
convince the public Of it's ability to &C.
complish beneficial results, not only to the
merchants themselves, but to their en-
ployees, customers aud the public in gen.
eral.
In order that this greatly desired result
may be attained, we would request all
merchants and citizens to show their APP
probation of our efforts and their desire
to advance the interests OF Los Angeles by
granting their hearty cooperation in
making the coming Fiesta complete sue
cess by contributing to the parade of mer-
chants and manufacturers as great a dis
play of their merchandise, products or
occupation in an as artistic a manner as
possible; also that the proprietors and
employees accompany their exhibition in
parades in full force.
Yours respectfully,
The Merchants Association Of Los An
6 les.
P. s. An early notification of desired
entries in parade, addressed to committee
on trades and manufacturers, will greatly
facilitate our work.
John H. F. Peck, Chairman.
DR.. Fleming, chairman Of the native
California committee, reported with ref
erence to the cavalcade of Spanish cabal-
leros that the committee would be obliged
to go to more expense in getting it up
than that allowed by the board. All would
be volunteers, but there would be neces-
sary expenses in renting costumes, hiring
and keeping of horses. The riders would
be experts and it would be a very attract
i've feature. 1t had been suggested to get
an old time Spanish OK cart. The board
took the matter under consideration, to be
acted upon at their next meeting.
In the report OF the parade committee
| by Chairman Pridham they recommended
| that fireworks such as roman candles,
shooting stars and the like be used in the
night pageants. 1sitre nix
Judge Owens reported that he had
drafted an ordinance to be presented to
the City Council prohibiting the throw
ing of missiles, -four, ETC., and presented
it to the proper officials.
On motion of Captain Steere Lieutenant
M. M. Ogden was added to the military
committee.
