MAY ERECT SOME
NEW B|LLBOARDS
POLICE COMMISSIONERS LIFT
LID JUST A BIT
Where No Serious Objections Were
Filed by Nearby Property Own
ers Permits Are Granted
in Nine Gases

The police commissioners reversed
themselves in number of cases affect
ing billboard applications hitherto de-
MED by giving permits for erection Of a
few boards in special cases.
Where Billboard Inspector c. e. Allen
failed to find any nearby property own
ers protesting and where the boards
were small, well set back and OBJ
structinE no views the commission
loosened it's grip a bit and reconsidered
the order of last week by which all
applications presented at that time
were refused.
The effect will be to give revenue OF
cent per square foot per year for
space occupied to the city and yet do
no violence to the views of outdoor art
workers opposing some boards.
The Angelus Sign company won in
two applications-nort corner of
Seventh and Little streets and south
east corner of Ninth and Lake. Little
street is merely an alley, with no
houses fronting thereon, was the re-
port; while the other case was merely
for a realty firm advertising the prop
erty there for SALE
The following applications of the Los
Angeles Realty Signboard company
were granted:
North side of East First street, be-
tween Clarence and Gless, which in
terferes with no view.
West side of Grand avenue, 125 feet
north of Tenth street, which covers an
lot.
West side Santa Fe avenue, opposite
Santa Fe depot, south of First street.
There is one board there now.
Adding twenty feet to signboard on
the west side of Figueroa street, OPP
posite Twelfth. which will cover an
lot.
Southeast corner of Seventh and
Beacon street. Objections had been
raised against a previous board there
because it contained only theatrical an
East side Central avenue, between
Pico ana Fourteenth, where no views
will be obstructed.
Adding thirty feet to board at south
west corner of Third and Stephenson
avenue. where no serious objection is
reported.

ORPHANS WILL co
ON COUNTRY TRIP
PIERCE PLANS PLEASURE FOR
YOUNGSTERS
ParentIess Children Will Go to River
side, RedIands and San Ber-
nardino and Be Treated
Royalty

There are Carnegies and Vanderbilts,
Helen Goulds and Rockefellers in
abundance throughout the country, all
particularly able in their respective
fields in dispensing the sunshine of
sweet charity to the unfortunates of
the country, and each and every one
deserves all the praise that can be
meted out to their laudable enterprises.
But right here in Los Angeles we have
a sunshine dispenser of the first water,
and to him all credit is due.
This person who corrals the warmth
of the sun and the fragrance of the
flowers for those who appreciate the
lavish gifts of nature is 9. M. Pierce,
the Balloon route man, and whose
yearly excursion for the orphan chill
dren of Los Angeles is one of the
most truly appreciated events recorded
in local history Season after season
Mr.. Pierce has treated the orphans of
the CITY. to an outing of some kind,
and with each succeeding year his treat
has become more enjoyable to those in
whose honor it was given.
This year Mr. Pierce VIII vary the
program with a different sort of an ex-
cI1rsion In past years he has taken
the inmates of the various orphan
asylums in this vicinity for trip over
his own lines. and has feted and re-
called the homeless little mites TO tnelr
sorrowing hearts content at the difer-
ent beaches included in the itinerary
of the Balloon route.
Will Make Country Trip
The tiny charges will not see the
pounding surf in it's mighty glory TINS
year-so far as Mr.. Pierce is concerned.
The guardian angel of orphan vacation
time recently visited the offices OF the
Salt Lake railway with the patnos Oh
charity in his voice, and after listening
to him for a minute or two the rail-
road officials decided that they were IN
a position to contribute to the general
fund of joyousness.
Accordingly the Pierce excursion
given in honor of the orphans of Los
Angeles will this year include trip
to Redlands. Riverside and San Ber-
nardino, long journey for most or the
little mites. But the way the excur-
sion is planned none of them will suffer
from train fatigue or ennui.

SENATOR CLAY.

The Americas Daily Times-Recorder
says:
Senator Clay is receiving many COM
pliments from the press of Georgia.
The newspapers are almost without ex-
ception admirers of Senator CLAY, and,
though his place is not in jeopardy. it
pleases them to throw bouquets. The
Atlanta Georgian has the following to
say about the Senator: And it is only
fair to say that there ara few men in
the senate who could have been more
effective to this or any other cause
which they have essayed to help. The
president of the United States has de-
clared that no member of the Demo
cratic party in the senate has a nearer
hold upon his confidence or a more
ready access to his ear and counsel than
Senator Clay. Senator Beveridge, one
of the Republican leaders, told the ed
itor of the Georgian that no man upon
the Democratic side of the senate could
secure as much from the good will and
respect of the Republican majority as
the junior senator from Georgia. -
