MRS. ANNIE BANCROFT
The Designer Of Some of the Mos
Beautiful Fiesta Decorations

Among those of the Fiesta committee
who were decorated with the official
Fiesta badge was but one woman-Mrs.
Annie Bancroft, the artistic decorator.
Mrs. Bancroft is a woman of peculiar
and original taste in designing and dec
Grating. She is considered in Los An
geles as authority on all matters in
which the hand of an artist is needed in
costume or flower pictures.
Mrs. Bancroft has had for the last
three years the entire charge of the dec
riages for the queen and court in the pa
rades, the carriages of the president Of
the Fiesta, and also many of the most
beautiful features of the flower parade
Each year she has succeeded in CIV
ing new and beautiful features to her
scheme of decoration in the ballroom,
and all who know the immensity of the
great pavilion where that function is
held may realize the difficulty encoun-
tered in evolving new designs to cover
the great spaces of roof, and gallery, and
stage, and arch.
The queens carriage, and also those Of
the court, the presidents carriage. the
Jonathan club and the commercial trav-
elers', were all decorated by this artist,
and showed harmony and artistic spirit.
Mrs. Bancroft Is a native daughter.
and 1t is in this southern cline she has
learned her art. which is found so neces-
sary to use in the features of Los Ange-
les festivals,

FULL TEXT OF THE PETITION
ON WATER QUESTION

The work of closing up the city census
is now in progress. and 1t is reasonably
certain that the 100000 mark will be
reached, with two or three thousand
margin to the good. UP to Friday night
9S, ,155 names had been counted and class
additional names taken by the enumer-
ators that have not yet been classified
From now on the names will come In
very slowly, but there are a number of
Cinnamon who have not yet been caught.
Besides, from present indications. a
number of people have been overlooked,
and every day the councilmen of the
several wards are notified of such cases.
In many of these cases the councilmen
have gone in person and secured the
names, and in others the enumerators
have been notified to bring them in. In
this connection it is proper to state that
this census taking is not matter Of sem
timent, but is a cold, hard, business
proposition. and 1t is important that it
should be full and accurate. 1t is mat
ter in which every citizen is interested,
and the councilmen request that any one
having knowledge Of any bona flde resi-
dents having heen overlooked in the
count to at once communicate with the
city clerk. in order that they may be Sc
cured before the count Is closed.
Postmaster Mathews and several Of
the councilmen met in the committee
room of the council yesterday morning
and informally talked over the census
matter. General Mathews expressed the
opinion that there were great number
of residents who had been entirely omit
ted, and mentioned several instances
that have come to his notice during the
past two days He believed that before
the census was completed 1t would be
shown that Los Angeles had between
103 900 and 105, 900 residents. He based
the opinion on the reports Of his postal
clerks.
President Silver raised question as to
how the city would be affected in case it
was discovered that Los Angeles had
100 900 people. He had gone into the
census taking upon General Mathews
assurance that the municipal depart,
ment would in no wise be affected as to
the appointment of commissioners or
salaries to be paid them or city officials.
,, He had been informed by Captain Cross.
fresh from the legislature, that if the
1901 900 mark was passed Los Angeles
would come under the head OF
first class cities, which would give
the governor Of the state the APP
pointing power of commissions and
bankrupt the treasury through the SAL
a rios that must he maid.
General Mathews stated that he held
by his first statement Notwithstanding
the opinion of Captain Cross, who he
believed was mistaken.
No formal action was taken, but steps
will be taken to have official information
by the meeting Of the council tomorrow.

A Long Felt Want

Health officer Powers has petitioned
the council to have map Of the sewer
system of the city made for the use Of
his department. The necessity for such
a map has long been felt in the health
office. as the sewers are to great extent
under the jurisdiction of that depart
ment.
Drs Moore and Colburn yesterday al
ternoon handed their designations to
Mayor Snyder as members of the board
of health. Both of these gentlemen have
repeatedly stated that IL 1t should be
decided that the council had the ap-
pointive power Of the health department
employees. they could not serve on the
board of health. They declare that they
cannot assume responsibility for en-
ployes over whom they have no author
ity, and therefore do not care to remain
