The West Side Wheelmen are not
satisfied with their present suite of
rooms on South Main avenue, and it
has been decided to make a change as
soon as other quarters can be secured.
The present club house is on the sec
ond floor of building, and it is very
inconvenienl for the wheelmen who
wish to keep an eye on their machines.
An effort will be made to rent the
building on Jackson street next to the
hospital.

Of the meeting was paper read by
Judge Silent, as follows:
Rooms of the Pasadena and Los An
geles Boulevard Committee, 8 and 10
Temple Block, Los Angeles, CAL, Au-
gust IS, 1897:
ITO the Public: We have recently be-
come aware that misunderstanding ex-
iste as to the purposes and objects of this
committee. It's work is to point out, to
aid, to awaken public and local interest,
to set in motion the legal machinery, and
do whatever it can to bring about the
construction of at least one beautiful
drive between Pasadena and Los An
geles In the location of the route for
this road the committee is aided by able
engineers in whose ability and unbiased
judgment it has full confidence.
Because the committee in its best
judgment selects a particular route, it
is not to be taken that it will oppose or
in any way antagonize or has any litter
est in opposing the construction of other
roads; on the contrary. it deems it its
duty to aid in bringing about the con-
struction of as many beautiful drives
between Pasadena and Los Angeles as
the parties in interest along the different
routes are willing to pay for
The committee considers that 1t has
made decided success when it has sue
ceeded in awakening local interest in
South Pasadena, along the adobe road
at East Los Angeles and along the ar
royo route, and it advises that local CON-
mittees be appointed to take in hand the
opening and construction of the road
through their respective localities, which
committee in due time should relieve the
general committee of the work.
Nor has this committee undertaken
to construct boulevard with it's own
money, nor to provide the means for its
construction, except by setting the legal
machinery in motion. In the cities the
road will have to be constructed by as
sessment upon the property benefited
and in the country by county aid and
such donations as the committee may be.
able to obtain from owners of property
benefited by the road and from the gen.
eral public.
This committee will, of course, deem
it it's duty to support and particularly
aid the construction of the road upon the
route selected by it, but in so doing it
does not desire to discourage or in any
manner impede the construction of other
boulevards between Pasadena and Los
Angeles which the parties in interest
along the particular routes may desire
to build, so long as they are not under
taken for the purpose of defeating the
work undertaken by this committee.
