Final Street Inspection-Bond
Redemptions-Notes

The recently elected park commission
er, Mr. Albert Carlos Jones. who takes
the place of r. j. Waters, resigned, took
his seat at yesterdays meeting of the
, board and participated in the proceed
ings. The principal item of discussion
was a communication from Charles A
Beers asking the privilege of placing
conveyances in Elysian park for the
accommodation of visitors and residents
of Los Angeles, and that said convey
ances may be disappearing the priv
ilege of ample space for amusements
and attractions, also for refreshments,
as desired
In advocacy of his request Mr.. Beers
stated that his intent was to have a
fourhorse conveyance at Fremont gate,
for use of tourists and other visitors
who desired to look over the park. He
intended also to put few burros at the
park entrance for the use of the chill
dren. He would establish a soda foun-
tain and popcorn stand. He desired,
however, to be protected by the grant of
an exclusive right. The park board
agreed that the plan was a good one
under proper regulations of the park Of
ficials. The matter was referred to a
committee consisting of Messrs. Teed,
Jones and Superintendent Carey, and
the decision was deferred until Sat
urday, when the committee will visit the
park with Mr.. Beers.
The superintendent was directed to
purchase sign-boards to be placed on
roads leading to Eysian park.

! PRESIDENT LEIGHTON TALKS
President Leighton of the Terminal
Railway company has been in the city
for some days. He has rather avoided
newspaper men and his mission here is
yet something of mystery. He was
seen last night by Herald reporter and
was asked regarding the plans of his
company and particularly queried about
the statement made by Superintendent
Muir of the Southern Pacific company,
who said in a recent interview that the
Grande and Western railway.
II do not care to say anything about
this matter at present" said Mr.. Leigh
ton, but I can say that the road has not
been sold. ! am here as is my custom,
once a year, to look over our property
and see the trend of things. We are peg
ging away, doing the best we can and
we have kept out of the United States
courts, which is more than some of the
bigger roads have done. No we are not
even negotiating with the Rio Grande
Western, and I have nothing to say
about our plans.
"The San Pedro harbor matter? That
looks better today, judging from some
private messages l received from Wash
ington. There is to be a fight on the
appropria ton, that is evident, but l do
not think tl1re is much danger of our
friends, the enemy. succeeding"
In connection with what Mr.. Muir said
about the sale of the Terminal to the
Rio Grande Western. it may be added
that that line extends from Salt Lake
City to Milford. and has a connection
with the Denver and Rio Grande, of
which it is believed to be an affiliated
company, into Denver. 1t would require
the construction of only about 500 miles
of road to make this company, if it
bought the Terminal, new transcon-
tinental line.
