we ought TO have 1t every year. 1t Is
e natural advertisement all over the
country. The merchants themselves
reap no benefit but the city undoubted-
ly will in time.
c. L. Hanson of Ontario-Yes. It has
been the means of inducing large num-
ber of people to remain in Southern
California who would otherwise have
hurried home.
John A. Hunter, manager Fixen G.
Co.-Under two conditions. yes. First.
that If the Fiesta is conducted for the
good of Los Angeles. all visitors should
enjoy it free Of all charges, so far as
seeing the parade, fireworks, ETC., goes.
Secondly, that 1t should begin on Tues
day and end on Friday night sharp, to
give the outsiders chance to do their
purchasing Saturday.
Mr.. Reynolds of Harper & Reynolds,
154 North Main street-Not enough good
10 counterbalance the expense and det-
riment done to the trade.
c. Ducommun. 302 North Main street
1t affects business adversely but think
it good drawing card.
Samuel Meyer, 309 North Main street
Most decidedly; always in favor of it,
j. V. Wachtel, cashier of the Main
Street Savings bank-It might be better
to postpone it for year. 1t has been a
grand success, but I'm afraid the public
may tire of it if given too often. Per-
sonally l am in favor of it.
Cohn Bros. of Temple block-We are
both strongly in favor of it.
Gen. c. F. A. Last-Most assuredly.
1T has been grand success and we shall
continue to improve.
Gustav Brose OF the Germain Fruit
company-Certainly; it helps the town
and puts lot of money in circulation
Albert Cohn. 219 South Main street.
don,t care; let 'em go ahead. For my
part they can have.a Fiesta every day
j. d., ROQriplIaZ of ROIripr1o1 HourorJ
& COMO. sir; am not. 1t paralyzes
our business for the time being.
william Pridham, superintendent of
the Wells-Fargo company-Entirely; it
means a healthy relaxation for the peo-
pie and an opportunity to display their
talent in decorative line.
William Gibson, PA West Third street
Il DON'T want to interfere. 1 said mo-
IN plain English last year and am not
AFRAID to say it again.
william f. Marshall of the California
prove of it. -p
II. =. Vollmer--Although of no special
Denent TO ourselves. we think it a good
tning Tor the community at large-the
city itself
q. L: Parmelee-While there is no
ooupt 1t puts large amount of money
III circulation, 1t is a question to my
mind whether we get as much back
again as we pay out
.. X. Urmston, manager of the Lon
oon and Lancashire Fire Insurance
company-Thoroug in favor of it.
y. =. DAY. would rather express no
opinion at present.
Mr.. Cass of Cass, Smurr & Co.-No: I
think 1t demoralizes not only the busi-
ness of the community, but of the coun-
try as well.
L. M. Grider of Grider & Dow-We ex-
pect to get our benefits from now right
fc -
peated.
Nat Siegel-In favor of it all the time.
w. c. Bluett of Mullen, Bluett & Co.
Most decidedly. 1t was benefit to our
business and want to see it every year.
c. c. Gibbons of ]. M. Hale & Co..
Although of no direct benefit to our line
| OF business, believe 1t good adver-
! tisement for the city, the county and the
| state.
v. H. Gowen Of Gowen, Eberle & Co.
| Yes.
H. M. Sale, 22o South Spring street.
| don't like to appear selfish in the mat
ter. 1t does us no good personally. If it
can be proven it does any good as an ad-
vertisement for the city, l would be in
favor of it. I am decidedly opposed to
the masking business.
John F. Humphries, 145 South Broad
way-In the present depressed condi-
ton of the essential industries that
build UP this county, 1 think that if
the same amount of energy and money
| were expended to encourage such in
dustries it would do more good than a
Fiesta, Notwithstanding the temporary
! stimulant
Col. j. c. Marble, president of the Ma
tional Bank of California; am in favor
of flower and fruit expositions, but have
no sympathy with all fools night and
such features.
J. T. Sheward-Very much so, and I
believe it should be Of annual occur
renee.
M. c. Adler Of the London Clothing
company-Most decidedly
l.. Jacoby of Jacoby Bros.-I think 1t
does the country great deal Of good,
but I am in favor of abbreviating it to
two days.
John Chanslor of Anderson & Chans-
lor-No; am not If the property own
ers put up the money it might be differ
ent. Besides, think the people are get
ting tired of it.
]. Frankenfield, president of the Cali
fornia bank-Too early to express an
opinion.
John H. Coxe-Yes.
Hiles & Sogno of the City of London
furnishing house-No. For the three
years it has been held on each occasion
. it has been the worst week for our busi-
ness.
Gen. Johnson of the Los Angeles Fur
! lllIuIc COIupdAy-l uOI IHlHk am.
The all fools night should certainly be
abolished.
Simon Maier-I think it too soon to ex-
press an opinion, but the last Fiesta
was great success. =
VIM. B. Dunning Of "The Hub"-Any
decrease Of trade-although we person.
ally have no reason to complain-may
be attributed to the weather. Summer
goods were not in demand, owing to
the lateness Of the season. believe the
Fiesta advertises the town, helps the
railroads, and generally puts money into
circulation.
Judge L. A. Groff-It is problem for
the railroads, the street-car companies,
the hotel and lodging house keepers to
decide.
Henry Darling Of Darling & Pratt
Yes; it is very good thing, provided it
can be gotten up in the very best way
and still further improved.
H. w. Whitmarsh, manager of the
Boston dry goods store-Yes; it was a
success this year, and should be contin-
ued. Although it Injuries trade during
the week, indirect benefits will accrue.
F. H. Avery of the Avery -Staub Shoe
company-I most emphatically am.
N. B. Blackstone-Not for whole
week; but If the money that is raised
were applied to a two-days' festival, 1t
would do the town more good.
Under Sheriff Clements-I think we
should celebrate our national holidays
rather than special occasions, and for
that reason I think we should have q
