A Great Relief.

San Fernando valley to the northern
line Of the county.
This system" said Mr. Alexander,
will give the county about 300 miles
OF macadam road II the county votes
SO, 900 IN bonds and expends the pro-
ceeds IN the construction Of good
roads--and this amount should be suf-
ficient to build about 300 miles of ma
cadam-it would be Of more benefit to
Los Angeles county and city than the
expenditure Of an equal amount of
money in any other manner"
Wallace Is interested
Councilman Wallace asked a number
of questions concerning the bill and
the proposed method of expending the
bond money, If IL is voted. He asked
particularly concerning plans for keep
ing the roads in good condition, and
said It would be a waste Of money to
construct good roads and then permit
them to fall into decay.
Repair of the roads, it was explained
by Mr. Alexander, would be betrayed
by appropriations from the general
fund.
Temporary President Lissner APP
pointed the following committee to
nominate permanent officers to be
voted upon at the first annual meeting
of the city club, to be held the second
Saturday i'm April: George 3. Ander-
son, Hugh w. Adams, jr, p M. john
son, Judge NJ p. Conrey and Charles
Cassatt Davis.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-10

elected secretary Of the association.
Roy Jones, who was appointed member
Of the committee from the Santa Mon
lea board Of trade, sent a communica-
tion, in which he stated that owing
to pressing private business 1t would
be impossible for him to accept the
honor.
The committee Will hold another
meeting next Saturday, at which time
announcement will be made OF the Sc
lection of a delegate from each OF the
fifty-nine road districts.
After the meeting Mr.. Beveridge said;
while travelling abroad and In Can
ada I met many wealthy men whose
only objection to wintering In Los An
geles was the absence Of country roads
suitable for automobiling In the coun-
try adjacent There also are many
wealthy horsemen, not professionals, but
men or leisure, who keep string Of
fine driving horses, who would make
Los Angeles their winter home but Tor
the absence of good country roads.
From all indications the people intend
to remove this objection l find the
good roads sentiment almost unans-
nous.
mo effort will he spared to keep
this movement on high plane and
absolutely free from politics"
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-10

Alexander also was cheered when he
arose IN response to a request for a
speech.
Pledges Supervisors Support
Mr. Alexander said that the subject
Of good roads was one in which he
was deeply interested but that under
the present laws and methods it was
impossible to have good roads In Los
Angeles county. The cities pay moth
ing toward the improving Of county
roads, and inasmuch as towns are con-
tinually growing and becoming incor-
porated the percentage Of property
subject to taxation for roads is be-
coming less each year.
He heartily approved of the pro-
visions of the bill framed by the legis-
lative committee of the Good Roads
association and which was passed by
the legislature The proposed highway
commission would devote its time to
the construction Of roads, while the
county supervisors would have their
hands full in keeping side roads in
repair.
Mr. Alexander said that some COM
plaint had been made regarding the
present method of handling the good
roads proposition.
"As long as roadmasters are appoint
GU VII dttOullN VI BOAlNAIot lJ otNiht
"the county will not have good roads.
Politics is all right, but 1t will not
build good roads"
He said he could give his assurance
that majority Of the board of super
visors are i'm favor of good roads and
will treat the question fairly.
Outlines System of Roads
Supervisor Alexander suggested the
construction of roads as follows:
A road should be built from Santa
Monica through Sawtelle and Holly
wood, thence to Los Angeles and on
to Pasadena and thence to Claremont,
and from there to the San Bernardino
county line, striking a point near On
tario; another from Venice to Los An
geles, striking Washington or West
Adams street, then on east through
Duarte to Pomona; another road to
Whittier and then on to the Orange
county line to connect with a road
which undoubtedly would be built from
Santa Ana; another road running south
to point near the ocean, with branches
from there to Long Beach, Whining
ton, san Pedro and Redondo; and then
two roads along different lines up the

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION
HOLDS FIRST MEETING

The first meeting of the executive
committee of the Good Roads associa-
tion Of Los Angeles county was held
yesterday in the assembly room of the
chamber of commerce.
President S. A. Butler was called out
of the city yesterday morning, and
First Vice President F. w. Blanchard
presided. There were present Thomas
Farley, chairman Pasadena board Of
trade; Harry Barndollar Long Beach
chamber of commerce.; p. j. Bever-
idge, Hollywood board of trade; A. P.
Fleming, Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce; G.. A. Whitcomb, Glendora
board of trade G. D. Manning, county
hoard of supervisors
A. p. Fleming was unanimously

city officials to come to our weekly
meetings and take us into their con-
fidence We hope to make the City
club a civic clearing house, and by
a discussion of various subjects Of
public interest asst city officials in
their work"
President Lissner said that the sub
ject decided upon for the meeting was
good roads and that President Butler
of the Good Roads associ. ..tion and
Hartley Shaw had been placed upon
the program, but that they had been
called out of the city. However, Mr..
Blanchard, one of the three prime
movers in the good roads agitation,
and who was among the leaders in
every project for the benefit of the city
and county, was full of good roads
ideas and would enlighten the MEM
bers on the subject.
Mr.. Blanchard lost no time in "wad-
ing into his subject.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-10

1T is notorious fact" he said,
that the roads In Los Angeles county
during the past winter were in worse
condition than they have been for
fifteen years. OF course this state OF
affairs wa due principally to the fact
that there was more continuous rain
than during any season for a number
Of years.
Members of the Pasadena board OF
trade really started the present good
roads movement. A committee from
Pasadena consulted with officials OF
the chamber Of commerce and It was
found that there was no law under
which q sufficient fund could be raised
to build good roads. In Los Angeles
county outside the cities there are
about 1000 miles Of roadways, but the
cities, i'm which is located 83 per cent
of the taxable property, cannot bt
assessed for road improvements, which
leaves II per cent of the taxable prop
erty of the county to pay for all county
road improvement.
at was decided at the conference
that the city Of Los Angeles would be
benefited as much If not more by hav-
ing the county possess a network oi
good roads, and as q result n conVen-
tion was called at which a committee
was appointed to draft a good roads
bill. This committee was fortunate IL
securing the services of four of the
best lawyers Of the city to prepare q
measure, which was declared to be the
best of a number presented to the
legislature This bill was passed, II
is now before the governor, and I am
certain that it will be signed"
Explains Bill
Mr.. Blanchard then explained the
various provisions of the bill, and he
declared that when the people are ac-
quainted with it's provisions they will
vote solidly for the issuing of $4,000, ,0OC
in bonds for the construction of good
roads.
He said that such an amount OF
money would be sufficient to construct
about 300 miles of macadam roads, and
then Los Angeles county would be
noted throughout the world as having
the best and most extensive system OF
good roads of any county in the United
States.
This work, he said, could be ac.
complished within the next three years
Mr.. Blanchard was heartily cheerec
when he concluded, and Supervisor

IF the county votes $3O0Q,0OO in

to build about 300 miles of macadam-
it would be of more benefit to Los
Angeles county and city than the ex-
penditure of an equal amount of money
In any other manner"
So declared Supervisor Alexander in
q brief speech at the luncheon given
by the City club at the Hollenbeck
cafe yesterday, and the statement was
heartily cheered by the half hundred
men present, including Councilmen
Pease, Wallace and Dromgold, guests.
f. w. Blanchard, one of the leaders
in the good roads movement, and who,
with President Butler of the Good
Roads association of Los Angeles
county and Hartley Shaw was instru

lature the associations good roads bill
delivered the principal address on the
subject of good roads, and his remarks
also were received with applause.

EUCLID TERRACE OWNERS
WILL APPEAL TO COUNCIL

A meeting Of the property holders in

tion i'm which they are placed by reason
of an assessment against the whole

son avenue. Mr. Mccarthy OF the
Pioneer Investment company, VINO

lots, was severely criticised ior per
hitting the matter to get into its pres
ent tangle.
It was finally decided to request the
presence of Councilman Blanchard at
the next meeting, to be held at the
same place on Tuesday night, 80 tnal
nresenting the whole question to the
city council for some action whereby
