ENGINE HOUSE BARRED
No Fire Engines Wanted to Disturb
Busy Broadway

Against the proposed establishment of
fire engine house upon the lot north of the
city hall building there was vigorous pro
test, the grounds for such action being the
unwarranted statement by morning news
paper that such action was in contempla
ton. Some seventeen of the heaviest prom
erty owners in the block on Broadway be
tween Second and Third streets were among
the signers OF the protest, which read as fol
lows:
We, the undersigned owners of prop
erty, and business men engaged in busi-
ness on Broadway between Second and
Third streets, seek by this communica-
ton to protest most earnestly and en-
phatlcally against any action on the part
of Your honorable body in creating and
maintaining an engine house for the use
OF the fire department on the unoccupied
lot adjoining the city hall on the north.
We assert that the improvements we
have placed upon Broadway between
Second and Third streets are the finest
and represent the largest retail business
houses in the city.
The construction and maintenance of
an engine house at the point mentioned
"'"A" NC an IuJulH 10 our property anu
dangerous to the public, as the sidewall,
is much used by pedestrians, and the
street usually crowded with vehicles,
and the taking out of fire engine in the
usual and customary way would endan-
ger life and property; and the con-
struction and maintenance of such an
engine house at the point above named
would be serious damage to our prop
erty and the business interests on said
street, and we therefore most respect
fully petition your honorable body to re-
iect any proposition looking to the build
ing and maintenance of an engine house
at the point mentioned.
Upon motion, and without discussion. the
matter was referred to the board of ,ublic

meeting of the National Educational asso-

when the annual convention was held in
Denver, at which our delegates guaranteed
a membership OF 5000 in this state. That
guarantee still holds good and the executive
committee holds the state to its promise
City Superintendent Foshay has sent mem
bership blanks all over the state and in
many sections they are being well filed
The reports are so encouraging the officers
having the mtater in charge feel assured
that the required number will be secured.
Thus far but two committees in this city
have been al work, those on transportation
and entertainment. The members of the
former committee have done all they could
to secure low railroad rates and the latter
entertained the executive committee OF ed
ucators on their recent visit here. The
committees will have to be reorganiZed and
many more added to carry on the diffuse
preparations necessary for the accommo-
Committees will have to be organized or
publicity and promotion to disseminate
Southern California literature through the
east; a committee on finance to attend to
the important work of raising money; com
mittees on hotels, reception, music, eXcur-
sons, badges and designs and halls

the eight general sessions and one large hail
for the overflow meetings. For the depart
ment sessions, of which there are two each
fifteen churches or halls will be required
4 large room or suite of rooms will be need
cd for the treasurer OF the association and
twenty clerks; large headquarters also for
the general secretary and sixteen depart
ment secretaries. All this force will be
needed to carry out the program, in addi
ton to the local committees and assistants
The chamber of commerce and the city
educators. upon whom this work of prepara
ton will devolve, desire not only the mora
support Of every individual interested, but
also the active support of many willing
hands and heads.
