From San Francisco to New York in three days and
twenty hours cutting stop of five hours in Chi

New York than San Francisco the time from this city
to the metropolis would be reduced at least six hours
Then, the mountain climbing, the great curves and
heavy grades peculiar to the northern route would al

probably that it is possible for train to from Los
Angeles York the Fe line in ten hours
less time than the trip be made from San Francisco

The commercial Importance of time cutting schedules
between the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts is of ines
timable to California interests If passenger
schedules be shortened to the extent noted it fol-
that special freight schedules may be cut in relative
proportion. Now suppose, for example, that the time

THE SCHOOL BUILDING HoLD-UP

los Angeles be confronted with the sravest
problem Il has met in the matter Of public school
accommodation Instead Of relief from the congestion
experienced in the scholastic year now closing,
thought to be assured, the trouble will be greatly
gravated next term This because the building of the
new school structures provided for in the big $780,,
600 bond proposition will be delayed indefinitely.
There is defect in that proposition that can be
recthed only by court procedure which probably will
sufficient to make the additional accommodation
available for the next school term As consequence
the great natural accreon of thousands OF pupils will
crowd some of the schools to overhowing and cause
great Inconvenience in all of them The opening Of the
Polytechnic high school is likely to be delayed also
because the funds for its equipment depend upon the
marketing of the school bonds.
All this trouble results from the refusal of the New
York expert bond attorneys certify approval of the
bond proposition technical grounds The point at
issue is that Los Angeles is taxed support schools
outside the municipality and hence the courts may hold
that the school bonds be voted under charter pro-
visions The bonds in question school district and
not charter bonds
It is only necessary for the courts to pass in judg
ment the question and there appears to be hardly
doubt that the judgment will be favorable to the bond
proposition it appears. If the decision should
is very unfortunate that the much needed school
commodation will be available at the beginning Of
the next term.
