LA FIESTA OF '97.
The Executive Committee in Constant
Session-Their Plans Maturing.

Active work has been commenced on
the many details connected with La
Fiesta. The executive committee is I'M
firing in it's efforts to make the coming
carnival an Improvement over it's pre-
decessor, and those who witnessed the
pageant of 1896 will appreciate the fact
that to surpass that event is not an easy
task.
The work is progressing to such an ex-
tent that it has been found necessary for
the executive committee to hold two
meetings each week.
James Robinson has been awarded the
contract for the construction and paint
ing of the floats for the Pageant of
Flowers" which will take place on the
evening of April 22nd. The subject is
one in which the artist can give full
scope to his imagination, artistic taste
and conception, and the floats will I'M
doubtedly be grander than any that
have ever been seen in a street parade
The committee. to whom is entrusted
the task of supervising the building and
painting of the floats, is composed of
Ad Petsch chairman; C. D. Willard, ].
V. Wachtel and F. w. Wood.
A. c. Way has been elected chairman
of the athletic committee, John Alton
chairman of the Chinese committee and
Frank Virgins chairman of the COM
mittee on street decorations.
The executive committee has adopted
the design for an official emblem sub
mitted by Cayre Groesbeck of Pasa-
dena.
In acknowledgment of the interest the
people of Pasadena have manifested in
previous Fiestas, the executive COM
mittee has decided to request the board
of trade of that city to suggest the names
of three OF it's citizens to act on the
floral committee.
resolution was unanimously adopted
urging the people of Los Angeles to CO.
operate with the citizens of Pasadena to
make the Carnival of Roses a splendid
success. The carnival takes place on
New Years Day.
The Los Angeles Lithographic company
has been awarded the contract for the
printing of 10000 copies Of the Fiesta
poster. AS soon as the advertising 6
sheet is finished it will be distributed
throughout California and in the prin-
cipal eastern cities

THE NEW COUNCIL.
Nothing Definite Yet Decided Upon Re
garding the Organization.

According to the, newly elected coun-
cilmen, nothing has yet been done of a
definite character regarding the organ
ization of the new council. 1t is said
that While no official action has been
taken, the selection of Mr.. Herman Sill
yer as president has been practically
agreed upon. Mr.. Silver is quoted as
saying that in case he is elected he will
make Il fair division of the various COM
mittees between the two parties. Mr..
Nickel is out for chairman of the board
of public works, and so far as known he
is the only one who is making a canvass.
Nothing has yet been done toward Or
ganizing the several commissions. One
of the councilmen said yesterday that
both the Silver Republicans and Popu-
lists were demanding recognition, which
might lead to some complications.
