The rapid progress being made by the
Pelican band under the leadership of Prof.
Henri Gerac should be source of much
satisfaction to the people of this town. The
members of the band have SO far shown the
proper spirit and the regularity with which
they practice and the harmony which pre-

believe that their organization will not be
as short-lived as its predecessors.

A PROMINENT CITIZENS VIEWS
On the Proposed Botanical and Geological
Gardens

In conversation yesterday with a prom
inent citizen, whose name by special re-
quest is for the time withheld, regard
ing the application now pending before
the police commissioners, by Otto Wan
mack, for license to sell liquor at the
botanical and geological gardens which
are proposed to be established by Wan.
mack brothers, the following views were
expressed:
The application of the Wannack broth
ers for license is attracting more and
more attention, and as the better class OF
citizens become acquainted with the facts
sentiment in favor of granting the Ii
cense is becom ing very pronounced. The
opposition to the petition, it seems, came
mainly from class of non-progressive
fanatics, with a mixture of saloon men
who only wish to see the city disgraced d
have no voice in determining the policy
of city officials. The latter were present.
ed with license petition which conform :
I'd in every way to the statutes, and by
I'll standards of right and justice the pc
titioners should have received what they
asked for. In taking the course which
they did the commissioners doubtless act
ed in perfect good faith and were actuat-
Sd only by the best of motives, but tho
case was clearly one in which they had
absolute authority, and it called for i'm
mediate determination.
In connection with this matter il is un-
fortunate that Wannack biothers have
been inconsiderately referred to as being
foreigners. 1t is true that they com
from Germany,as as it is also true that SOM 9
OF the bes t blood and brain of the age
comes from the same empire. The pro-
position 20 keep them waiting for what
they ask for until they become acquaint-
ed with our laws anu institutions is a
silly su bterfuge and one worthy only a
shallow pate. The chances are that Mr..
Wannack, the author, is already better
acquainted with the letter and spirit of
our laws than his opponents.
1t is gratifying to note that the German
element OF our business community is
taking a hand in this matter and pro-
poses to make Mr.. Wannack's grievance
its own. Los Angeles is no longer a
small and narrow community, but a
cosmopolitan city. 1t should exterd the
hand OF welcome TO all good citizens, of
whatever land, and grant to them that
degree of fair treatment which is the
right of honorable gentlemen.

be granted their license as they have
complied with the law. When they trans

the several irrigation districts to pay the
interest and principal of the bonds OF
these districts. The matter was referred
to the district attorney for an opinion,
and Deputy Holton prepared the follow
ing, which will be submitted to the
supervisors or their guidance:
In The matter of the petition hereto
attached, section % of the Wright act
provides as follows:
In case OF neglect or refusal of the
board of directors to cause such assess
ment and levy to be made as in this act
provided, then the assessment of the
property made by the county assessor
and the state board of equalization shall
establish tue basis OF assessment for the
district; and the hoard of supervisors Of
the county in which the board of direct
ors is situated shall cause an assessm ent
roll for said district to be prepared and
shall make the levy required by this act
and in the same manner and with like
effect as If the same had been made by
the BOARD of directors, and al expenses
incident thereto shall be borne by the
district
- If the board is satisfied that the
board of directors OF said district has
neglected 10 cause an assessment and
levy to be made as stated in this peti-
ton. then it is the duty of this board
under said section % to make the levy,
and in said levy to provide not only for
the payment of the accrued interest, but
also to provide for the expenses OF max
ing the levy and collecting the tax. The
supreme court of this state having de-
cided that the Wright act is valio, the
board of supervisors should continue to
act under said Wright act, notwithstand-
ing the decision recently rendered by
Judge Ross to the contrary"

the Ninetand district. The tirst is for

I that when the horse was delivered to Pro-
fessor Gleason. in pursuance of his offer,

you from your public offer of an addi-
