Los Angeles herald., 1905-11-11

Robles avenue, Fair Oaks avenue from
the southern limits of the Library park
to the northern limits of the Central
park and the same distance north and
south on Raymond avenue. The plan
as developed today provides for an or
namental iron post with cluster of
globed incandescent lights every 100
feet on both sides of the streets named.
This will cost the adjacent property
owners, 1t is estimated, 81 foot front.
and on this basis the money is already
coming in rapidly. The posts will be
more ornate than those used on Broad
way, Los Angeles, and it is hoped will
in time extend over every street in the
city.
Contributions Roll In
President Linnard of the board Of
trade who has been working for the
electric arches along Colorado street
for as much as two years, is now the
most enthusiastic supporter of the
boulevard system, as he told the bust
ness men, and as an earnest of his in
tention of abiding by the will of the
majority he today increased his sub
scription from $50 to $500. B. o. Ken
dali gives $40O and other prominent
business men are responding rapidly
and literally.
A committee will be appointed with
out delay whose duty it will be to get
the iron posts and lights. The same
committee. headed by ex-Mayor We'd
der, which has been canvassing for
funds, will do this part of the work
under the new plans, and 1t is ex-
pected that the streets will be H.
Eliminated with the new boulevard lights
by the date of the coming Tournament
of Roses.
1t is suggested that hand in hand
with the better lighting of the streets
of the business section ought to go
another campaign for the removal of
every pole from the curb lines along
the streets. These two improvements,
the hackers of the project say, will give
the Crown City the handsomest streets
in the country as well as the best
lighted.
Eight Chariot Entries
1t is expected that there will be at
least eight amateur entries for the
chariot races which will this year as
last be the principal feature of the
Tournament of Roses. There is a hope
that Riverside will enter a chariot In
these races. All entries will close De-
cember 8, and an entry fee of 5000 will
be required. The prizes will be $1,000
for the winner, $500 for second and 500
for third. Out of consideration for the
merchants Of the city the program for
free distribution will this year be is
sued by the association itself and con-
tain no advertising.
A porch climber entered the residence
of Mrs. s. ]. White on East Colorado
street last night while the family were
out and ransacked the contents OF the
upper rooms. He left neglected a
quantity of jewelry, probably because
an attempt to dispose of them would
cast suspicion upon him and stole the
contents of two purses. AS the man
left the house a button caught on the
screen window and was torn off. leav-
ing the only clue.
South Pasadena decided at a mass
meeting last night to take immediate
steps for the erection of a high school
building. The schools now have an en-
rolment OF 421, over one hundred more
than last year and present accommoda-
tions are sufficient only for the present.
