OPPOSE ERECTING
COUNTY CHAPELS
LIBERAL ALLIANCE CALLS MEET.
ING OF PROTEST
Supervisors Proposed Action in Build
ing Houses OF Worship on Hos
pitaI Grounds Declared to Be
Contrary to Law

Opposition to erecting chapels in the
county hospital grounds and at the
county poor farm with taxpayers money
has arisen and protestors will vent their
Views Sunday night In a meeting to be
held at Mammoth hall under the auspices
OF the Liberal alliance.
The county supervisors to whom pro-
test was first made have, it is alleged,
dsreyarded the complaints and author
lied advertising for bids for plans and
specifications for the two chapels.
Members of the alliance say that tax
payers money should not be used for
religious purposes and that in effect such
a move is contemplated in the erection
of chapels.
The supervisors have urged that the
purpose in doing this is to remove the
annoyance to some patients of holding
religious service inside of the institutions.
BY erecting ,chapels some distance away
for the convenience of all denominations
criticisms of the past could be avoided
and all interests subserved.

TRIM YOUR TREES
FORESTER URGES
ASKS THAT cITY's BEAUTIFUL
ASSET BE NOT MARRIED
caIfornia's Climate Permits Tree=
Growing to Perfection, and Only
a Little Attention to Pruning
Is Needed

City Forester E. ]. Harper has issue
an appeal to the people of Los Angeles I
put their trees in good shape. to trir
them now and to burn the trimmings s
that the streets will not be Uttered u
by the cuttings
Rev. Mr.. Harper in his statement yes
terday says:
The fall and winter season for South
ern California Is the most attractive OF
the year and is the time when our
visitors from all over the nation crowd
our gates.
Then it is, If ever. that we make the
impression upon the easterners OF the
desirability of making this land their
home for life.
Our tourist crop is one Of the largest
and best, and means more for the
future development of the city than
any other.
1t therefore behooves us to prepare
for the tourist in a way that will
please and attract them to the city as
desirable place In which to live.
Nothing will give more pleasing
effect upon the average stranger than
clean and we'll kept streets and side
walks.
Save Ladies' Hats
To this end, as city forester, l wish
to make request, through the medium
of the press, that all citizens trim the
trees in front of their residences. so
that the branches will not mar the
plumes on the hats of the ladies.
BY all means let us see to 1T
that our trees are put In shape for the
winter months.
Trees unless carefully trimmed soon
grow out of shape and mar the effect
of a beautifully trimmed lawn and
brilliant rows of geraniums and callas.
There Is nothing more pleasing to the
eye than a street lined with properly
trimmed trees.
Our climate permits us to have the
evergreen In it's perfection, and If we
will take the trouble to give them the
care and pruning required we can
make out city one of the most beauti-
full on EARTH
Even Paris, which has not our cli-
mate, cannot equal us, for Paris can
not have the great variety OF ever
greens that here grow with such
luxuriancy.
The graceful pepper, the immortal
acacia, the symmetrical camphor. the
feathery jacaranda. the fernlike gre
Villa and the stately eucalyptus, to
say nothing of our lordly palms, SOM
bine to give character and distinctive
beauty to our city.
Wealth in the Trees
We have wealth in these trees that
we are Just beginning to realize, an
asset that the east is envious of.
We shall appreciate them the more
If we take thought as to their needs.
and we shall impress our visitors with
their rare beauty II we give them the
pruning that they require.
Our mayor has set apart the Satur-
days of November as housecleaning
DAYS. May we not on these days see
to 1t that all the street trees of the
city that need trimming are pruned
and In shape for our eastern friends
that shall this winter visit US?
AS forester am especially desirous
that the trees shall make better
appearance this winter than ever be
fore. A little time and attention by all
the property owners and by those
renters who have trees in front OF
their homes, will bring about the de-
sired-result.
