of letters from her as late as 1868.
Pretty rank letters. said Jerome
Delmas objected and Jerome called for
the letters Delmas declined to produce
them although the witness said she bad

saying that reasonable time ought to be

Mrs. Thaw said she would produce them
on Monday.

PLAN BoULEVARDS
TO CONNECT CITY
AND THE OCEAN

Chairman Lee A. Mcconnell of the
good roads and boulevard committee
reports:
I'VE are pleased to report that dur
ing the year the work in which the
committee has made most progress is
the planning and opening of Wiltshire
boulevard to the sea. This boulevard
was practically complete at this time,
as far as rights of way and deeds for
the same are concerned, and without
doubt the coming year will see the
entire work of securing the deeds
completed,
The boulevard is to start at West
lake park, taking a route westerly to
the Soldiers home and from there
direct to Santa Monica A survey was
made through the committees efforts
and the general plan outlined for one
of the best and most scenic boule-
Yards leading from Los Angeles.
Work on Boulevard
The boulevard from Pasadena, Los
Angeles and Long Beach has received
the attention of this committee. Nu-
merous subdivisions in the outskirts
of the city were inspected and through
our efforts the city council and board
of supervisors have taken up the prop
osition of having the narrow streets
III lIlSSc NlN lSlOIlS ilduG lTOIn IlIIy IeeC
to seventy-five and a hundred Ieet
wider. and where possible, all streets
made to conform with the city align
ment.
THE board of public works was Wis
tied on several occasions on matters
of cleaner and better streets, resulting
in the promise of such improvements
as facilities and available funds could
produce. The street crossings through
the street railroad tracks have been
put in on many of The principal streets
at the request If this committee.
"A conference for good roads was
held under the auspices of the COM
mittee January "a in the assembly
room of the chamber of commerce for
the purpose of ascertaining the feeling
through the county in regard to bond
issue of $3,000,000 and also as to the
advisability of securing legislation per-
mitting the appointment of a highway
commission to oversee the expenditure
of such bond moneys as might become
available, also the changing of the law
governing roads running through mu-
inequalities. Representatives from all
parts of the county were present and
took lively interest in the discussion.
Committees were appointed and a per-
manent organization started with the
hope that at our next annual meeting
we will be able to report a new road
bill and the beginning of many per-
manent improvements in all the road
districts"
