IS IT ANOTHER DEADLOCK

The board Of education Is entirely
correct in presuming that there is no
necessity for haste in the selection Of
a successor to superintendent Foshay,
but it would be interesting to know
what the board considers haste.
Two months have passed since Mr.
Foshay presented his resignation. Since
then he has been chosen to another
position and appears anxious to enter
upon the discharge of his new duties.
True. the schools have a splendid as
sistant superintendent in the person of
Mr.. Monlux, who is doing double duty
and trying to keep things moving
smoothly in the conduct OF the city
schools.
But the board should consider the
fact that its hardness in the selection
of successor to Mr.. Foshay creates
condition of uncertainty all along the
line that tends toward Reorganization.
The city school system is extensive and
complex. and the slipping of a cog
throws all the machinery out of joint.
Hence it cannot be said that every
thing is going along as usual" for It
is not. There is apprehension. uncer-
tainty and unrest in every department
of the public schools, and this condi-
ton will continue until a superintende
ent is chosen.
"The whole affair is UP in the air,
said Mr.. Joseph Scott to a Herald re-
porter yesterday. But why should it
be up in the air" unless there is a
deadlock in the board? Surely the board
has discussed the question long enough
to have selected half dozen superin-
tendents. Why this delay?
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1906-02-28
WHY NOT REGISTER NOW7

A new registration of city voters was
begun with the opening of this year.
How many voters have attended to this
duty? How many are going to wait,
as usual, until the last week or the
last day, and then stand in a line
block long and swear at the registra-
ton office for not having a sufficient
number of clerks?
Bond elections are coming. Elections
for various purposes, which happen
more frequently in Los Angeles than
anywhere else, are liable to be precpi-
tated at any time, and hence it be-
hooves every citizen to get on the reg
istratiOn books and be prepared to cast
his vote without the usual fuss and
feathers.
Up at the court house are a number
of clerks in the registration office who
would be glad to get busy with citi-
zens and save some of the later rush.
A little work at this season would be
pleasing to both clerks and public. Reg
lister now and get it off your mind and
onto the city's books.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

The city council has in process of
preparation for submission to the peo-
pie number of proposals to vote bonds
for such municipal necessities al bet
ter fire and police protection, the con-
struction of storm drains and sewers
and the establishment of more small
parks.
Secretary Shaw said when he visited
Los Angeles and after he had spent a
week viewing the conditions and pros
poets of this city, Build for the future
and build big
1t was good advice. 1t was an eX-
preston that will live in the memory
of all who are trying to accomplish
great things in this delightful city. But
the secretary did not know that while
we are building for the future and try
ing to build big it seems almost i'm
possible to build fast enough to meet
the public demands upon us. Even he
did not foresee a city that doubles itself
so rapidly that it is almost a physical
impossibility to keep pace with NUM-
cipal requirements.
The revenues of last year would be
sufficient for the same sized city of
this year, but when this year comes
around we have so much larger a city
to deal with that even with a fair show
of economy we can do no more than
was done the previous year-which will
not answer at ALL
Hence the only remedy that suggests
itself to local financiers is bonds. The
ordinary revenues are insufficient and
while building for the future it seems
only fair that some of the cost as well
as the profits shall be placed upon the
near future.
Storm drains and sewers, better fire
and police protection and additional
small parks are crying necessities and
The Herald has no doubt that the peo-
pie of Los Angeles will be glad to vote
the reasonable amount of bonds sug-
gested in order that these necessities
may be obtained and all property
enhanced accordingly.
