EUREKA, March st developed

cases in the vessels forward hold.
The usual precautions taken in ship

A LOFTY LIBRARY SITE

"a public library is beacon of knowledge" Then
where can such beacon be located appropriately
than on an eminence where its light of knowledge
be seen from afar? The superior court has decided
that public library building for Los Angeles cannot
be legally located in Central park The park site
favored in part because the structure would have been
conspicuous architectural gem in a setting of
verdure That proposition abandoned is it not happy
thought and wise solution of the problem to choose the
suggested the commanding height at Third
and Olive streets?
The only noticeable objection to that location is its
oftiness Bit it higher than the top floor of many
skyscraper. With modern fastrunning and capacous
elevators the vertical journey would be more obec
tonabe than trip the ordinary lift of an office
building department store to say nothing of the
Angels flight transit And the location in question is
about central the in the little park would have
been
It Is possible to erect much greater library
ment to Los Angeles the site now suggested than
would be possible in Central park. An ornate building
at Third and Olive streets would be the cty's most
conspicuous attraction and from the building with
observatory in the cupoa, magnificent view would be
presented of Los Angeles and its environs commanding
the whole landscape from the mountains to the sea.
Hence there is every apparent why the library
building should be erected at Third and Olive streets

SMALL BOY IS
GREAT PROBLEM
WOMAN'S PARLIAMENT HAS
LONG DISCUSSION
City Prosecuting Attorney Beebe Tells
Delegates Some Women Believe
All Lads but Their Own
Are Bad

The small boy and his coaster created
furore of excitement in the meeting
of the Woman's parliament held yes
terday in the First congregational
church.
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this parliament that the city council
be requested to repeal the ordinances
which operate to prohibit boys from
coasting along the sidewalks in the resi-
dence districts and also from playing
ball i'm parts of the city where the
same will not interfere with traffic and
result in damage to property or an
noyance to persons"
The boy hater" and the hoy lover
represented in the Woman's parliament
yesterday wrangled over the good and
bad points of Young America for half
the afternoon and finally passed this
resolution.
"Boy HaterS" was the subject of an
address by Prosecuting Attorney George
Beebe and Mr.. Beebe's plain truths sue
ceeded in arousing more than an ordi-
nary warmth of feeling.
Some women believe" said he, that
all other boys but their own are bad.
Most boys are good boys. The trouble
lies with the mothers. If they will
open their eyes and realize that a boy
is not infallible, and thus realizing viii!
reason with him and keep him out of
the courts, most of the trouble will be
done away with.
bringing a boy into a court room
or before police officer will do him
more harm than anything.
TOO many people are needlessly an
noyed with the pranks of boys"
Mr.. Beebe spoke of the boy restrain
ing ordinances which are on the statute
books.
why not let the boys run their
coasters on the sidewalk, and if neces-
sary step off and let them pass by?"
said he.
Then came the discussion.
The only trouble with those ordi-
nances is that they are not strong
enough" declared Mrs. l. B. Hubert
why, a boy who used to steal my
walnuts will now steal everything I
have got. 1 have heard people declare
that a boy who will not steal fruit is
not worth having. That's why there
are so many criminals"
The speaker talked on until the pre-
siding officer reminded her of the time.
Good Word for Boys
DIR. Lamb of the park commission had
a good word for the boys and Mrs. j.
Stanley Brown of Eel Centre, Imperial,
offered Imperial as the solution of the
problem. She oratorically painted a
glowing picture of Imperial and advised
every one to settle there and give the
boys the benefit of the country.
Mrs. d. G. Stevens, who had been
called to the chair by the president,
Mrs. j. D. Gibbs, interrupted with a
request that the speakers stick to the
point under discussion.

CREDITABLE TO SAN FRANCISCO

At last San Francisco appears as exemplar for Los
Angeles in notable respect 1t is not what the north
city has done doing however that entities it
to such distinction there is such strong evidence
of fixed purpose in San Francsco's plans that there
is for the assumption that they will be carried
out 1t is upon that hypothesis that advance credit
given for an example worthy of being followed by Los
Angeles
San Francisco proposes to expend the goodly
of $50O0O0O0 comprehensive scheme for identifying
tb city No rash step of expenditure is to be taken how
ever as the plan of operation period of fifty
years. allowing for outlay of 81 900 per year Gen
eral plans for this work have been drawn by experts
and the people of San Francisco appear to be enhus
astcaly in favor of going ahead.
If the project maturity San Francisco will
undergo transformation something in the likeness of
the change wrought in Paris by Baron Haussman in the
reign of Napoleon III. There will be, of wide
difference in the magnitude of work in the two cities
as Haussman expended several times the sum of
$50O0OO0O. But the San Francisco plan like that of
Paris embraces elaborate system of bouevards and
parks There will be, ALSO "a magnificent amphtheater,
sunken gardens, monuments fountains and profuson
of ornamental effects"
This general outline of San Francscos purpose af-
fords striking object lesson for Los Angeles This
city is accounted beautiful already in the estimation of
strangers but there is obvious need nevertheless for
comprehensive plan Of Improvement i'll the general line
marked out for San Francisco 1t is not desirable to
undertake the beautying of this city rapidly
make the cost onerous, but plan should be worked
be followed as circumstances permit
We all see the mistakes that were made in the early
days of Los Angeles in regard to the laying out of
Streets providing for parks and the like 1t is impOssi
BILE rectify many of those but it is easy
to guard against such mistakes in the future

should keep in mind. Build for the future-bud big"

Discuss Consolidation
City and county consolidation was
the chief topic before the parliament
at the evening session.
Mrs. w. w. Turner of Pasadena
read letter from General Harrison
Gray Otis to Mrs. Gibbs, in which he
stated his position, saying he is i'll
favor of county and city consolida-
ton.
Hon. e. w. Britt of Los Angeles
and Rev. S. C. Durham were the prin-
cipal speakers. Mr.. Britt pointed out
the advantages to Los Angeles which
would be the result of consultations
and named three cities where such a
step has been taken, New York, Phil
adelphia and San Francisco.
Production of the expense of main
tanning the government is the most
glazing advantage" he said.
Mr. Britt also declared that the
time for such consolidation is ripe
now as it has never been before on
account of the Owens river water pro-
ject
Rev S. G. Durham led the discus
sion. He said:
Il represent 600 men who are posi-
lively opposed to consolidation. Judge
Britt mentions three cities. New
York, recognized to be the worst gov
erned city in the world; Philadelphia,
second only to New York, and San
Francisco-well, San Francisco at
least needs a reform.
''It is admitted that the whole thing
hinges on water, and as far as Pasa-
iena is concerned, we have water aud
plenty of it. Los Angeles offers police
protection and fire protection, but we
have both; what do we need of Los
Angeles?
Pasadena was founded to meet
demand. 1t is a clean city of homes.
We have succeeded in running a city
in a way which Los Angeles says she
cannot do.
Il for one will never consent, and
there are many others"
Discussion from the floor followed.

man in Business" by Mrs. Emma
Summers, known as THE Oil Queen"
