CITY D|SPOSES
Of SCHOOL BONDS

At premiums of more than $4,000 the
Los Angeles district school bonds IS
sued at a value of $7S00OO were sold to
Los Angeles bidders by the county
board of supervisors yesterday, and the
work of building new school houses for
the distressed districts will be COM

Although nearly a score of bids were
entered the Security Savings bank Of

was accepted.
The Andrews-Phillips company of Los

A WORD OF WELCOME

Let all Los Angeles give a word Of
welcome to the hordes of incoming
tourists, whose inquisitive counte-
nances are now filing the downtown
thoroughfares. They are entitled to it,
They are very large element in the
tesy is due them.
True, the theory, advanced by en-
viOus and less favored cities, that Los
Angeles stability and future rest en-
tirely upon the tourist inrusho is ex-
ploded. Los Angeles is built on much
more solid ground than the money
spent here by itinerants, who come for
brief stay Its great wholesale trade,
it's fast increasing manufacturing indus
tries, its enormous retail distribution,
all are the main and far more import
ant factors in its growth. This is
proved by the great rush of mercantile
building now going on.
But at the same time it would be
folly to assert that Los Angeles does
not profit greatly from the tourists.
Why shouldn't it? The railroads esti-
mate that within two months, $4,000
fasteners will come to Southern Cali
fOrnia, on the cheap rates now in force.
The large majority of these people are
of the vast middle Glass; the people
who work hard for the money they
earn, and who save industriously eleven
months Of the year that in the twelfth
they may take a holiday. This holi-
day leads them to the most ideal part
of the world-Southern California.
Here, they come to enjoy the glorious
climate, to bask in the sunshine denied
them at home, to luXuriate amid
orange groves and flower gardens, and
to see a cline unique, apart and Won
drous in their eyes. They have saved
TO do this; they expect to spend in
doing it.
Los Angeles is the logical center for
all this vast influx. They rendezvous
in her hotels; they travel about on her
trolley cars; they make headquarters
here for trips to ocean and mountain,
mission and grove. They spend their
savings here and in return they receive
new ideas of their country, its beau
ties, its extent and it's variety.
Naturally, then. Los Angeles is i'm
the position Of hostess to this i'm
mense throng. Hers is the duty to
welcome the visitors, to show them all
courtesy, to give them the glad
hand" and to make their stay enjoy
able. True, Los Angeles at the same
time profits thereby. but who grudges
her this? And who says she makes
not ample return?
A hearty welcome, then, to our
friends from the frozen, ley north and
east. May they find here warmth and
sunshine. actual and figuratiye; may

SAN FERNANDO WATER

Judge Gibbs in the superior cburt
yesterday handed down an opinion in
the San Fernando valley water case,
affirming and confirming the claim
made by the city of Los Angeles to all
the water of the Los Angeles river,
percolating as well as running, If the
city desires at any period of necessity
to enforce its claim.
The ranchers made brave fight
for a portion of this water, as they
feared the city might encounter a ne
cessity that would compel it to drain
the valley. Since the litigation be-
gan, however the precipitation and
conservation have been so large and
bountiful that the public and even the
ranchers lost much of their interest in
the controversy.
1t was stated by superintendent
Mulholland of the water department
last year that the ranchers would not
be deprived of their necessary water
except under most extraordinary and
unexpected stress on the part of the
city-but 1t was the part of wisdom
to have the city's rights and powers
in the premises determined by the
court. The city attorney also added
his pledge to that of Mr.. Mulholland,
and it is therefore certain that no
advantage will ever be taken of the
ranchers. TO whom a fair supply OF
water is absolutely essential for their
livelihood and the value of their prop
erty.
The ranchers have made the San
Fernando valley blossom as the rose
1t is the vegetable garden of Los An
geles. Hence this city has a peculiar
personal interest in the prosperity of
the valley. The decision by the court
in favor of the city is a friendly judg-
ment that seems to leave no chance of
hardship to those against whom it is |
rendered, while it settles the city's
claims in favor of the municipality.

PROTESTS COUNCILS ACTION
Representative of Main Street Props
erty Owners Secures Audience
and Reqisters Kick

Joseph Mesmer, representing Main
street property owners, appeared before
the council yesterday to protest against
the action of that body in approving
plans and specifications for designs for
the ornamental lamp posts for the
lighting of Main street, which the city
engineer had presented. 4
The designs approved by the city en-
gineer are the same as those used on
Broadway and Spring street. Mr. Mes
mer declares that these posts cannot
now be obtained at the price at which
they were purchased for the Broadway
illumination, and adds that the Spring
street posts, which are the same as
those on Broadway, cost the Spring
street property owners $50 more a post
than they did on Broadway.
He believes he can purchase other
posts just as good for much less money,
and he was invited to present his case
next Monday AFTERNOON.
The council Is in doubt what action
it can take in the case, as the designs
have already been approved by the
council, and Minute Clerk Wilde de-
clared yesterday that to reconsider
the question would be to knock out the
entire proceedings, as the ornamental
lighting is done under state law that
definitely describes the method of pro-
ceeding,

the south may settle the governor
ship fight, and that if so, "the out
look for Pardee is very promising. 4"
That's funny logic. Since when did
the Parker machine, which is a branch
of the Herrin state machine, declare
for Pardee? The south end of Cali
fornia will undoubtedly have nothing
to say about who will be nominated
for governor The south end Of the
machine will be powerful, and if the
Sacramento News is able to say that
Herrin is for Pardee, then its logic
win be consequential. namely, that the
southern machine Will vote for Par
dee. The Republican rank and file,

have no more 10 say about what Will

W. C. PATTERSoN's VIEW OF
THE GREAT CITY
Conservative Banker Tells What Los
Angeles Has Accomplished and
What It Is cabable Of
Accomplishing
BY w. c. Patterson

1t would be too much to make the
claim absolute that the growth and de-
velopment of the city of Los Angeles.
from the financial and other points
of view. has been greater than that Of
any other city in any age or land, and
yet the claim, everything taken into
consideration, il made, might possibly
be sustained.
The real growth and development of
the city dates from 1885, and IL is quite
questionable whether. during that
twenty years, If we take everything into
consideration, the growth of the city
is not new record i'm the history of
humanity. At that time the city num-
bered probably not much more than
11,000 souls. At the present time there
are upwards of 100000 people, perma-
nent residents within the city limits.
The industrial Development of the COM
muntty at that time had scarcely made
beginning and the money i'm daily
in the community was not
a very large amount. 1t would be
som ewhat difficult, if not impossible,
TO ascertain just what amount of
money was circulating i'm the commun-
ity at the date taken. The two follow
ing years witnessed a very great
growth in the population and develop
ment along every line. The great boom,
which collapsed in 1888, may be said to
have taken a definite beginning in 1885.
In 1887 the bank clearings. as shown
by the returns of the clearing house
for that year, amounted to trifle over
$36, 600, 900. In 1888. when the reaction
came, the movement of funds fell back
below the figure just mentioned, but in
1895, in spite of all the dullness pre-
vailing in business in all parts of the
United States, the clearing house re-
turns for that year. showed move
ment in this respect of $751; 900, 900. In
1900 the clearing house returns for the
year showed exchanges through the
house banks of $500, 900. and
in the next year the figure rose to $145,
100000. The expansion i'll this, respect
has been steady during all the three
past years and the last year of all
the clearings through the clearing
house banks amounted to the sum of
s47S, 9S5, ,29S40.
The following comparative statement
is interesting.
