sanauinez 10 Return

Sangulnez TO Return
Governor Augustin Sanguinez of
Lower California, who has been at
Magdalena since the fleet reached here,
will return to La Paz as soon as the
American warships have departed. He
win go by boat to Todos Santos, the
nearest town TO the south, and thence
go by stage to the Lower California
capital With him will go the other
Mexican officials who also have repre-
scented the Mexican government at
Magdalena during the visit of the fleet.
Preparations are proceeding for the
fleet regatta to be held Friday. The
officers and men have greater liberty
now that target parctice is over, and
are putting in their time in recreation
and training for the coming athletic
events.
Hunting. fishing and sailing are ia
yorite pastimes. Dozens of launches
and sailing craft may be seen every
day, moving in all directions over the
bay. The fishing is no longer as good
as during the earlier part of the t1eets
stay. Too many seines have tended to
diminish the supply and the disturb
ance of target practice probably mas
driven many out of the bay.
Sailing is always ideal with the strong
breeze that blows continually Several
of the SHIPS have established camps
few miles up the different lagoons lead
ing into the bay and parties of officers
and men are enjoying themselves In
these isolated retreats.

reaches San Pedro all contests VIII
have narrowed down to the champion
shin events in the lightweight, welter-
weight, middleweight and heavyweight
classes.
The publication on the ships of the
fleet of the programs of the various
California cities is arousing the keen
est interest in the forthcoming well
come, and the officers and men are
looking forward with keenest anticipa-
ton to the receptions awaiting them.

the cost OF new rapid transit routes upon the prop

From Investigations conducted by the CITY Cluo'
the transit committee of the organization has come
the conclusion that the cost of the present SUP
way could have been more than paid for by the IN
creases in valuations which have resulted from lie
building of the road The memorandum says
For many years the city has deemed II Just 10
upon aDutting property the cost OF opening
streets and building sewers The theory Oh suCh d
tax upon property is that ii receives almost lIe
exclusive benent from the construction or a street
or sewer adjacent it. The question haluIdil!
arises does not a transit line, by the benent that
il confers fan in the same class as new streets
and sewers? If street railroad or raplu udhSi.
line be extended into undeveloped teTTllory' Is
il not built primarily for the purpose OF furnishing
facilities future residents IN that sec
ton? People viii buy this property primarily pc
cause il has good transit facilities, ana the NaIue
hilitv ON this ground the club points out that the
section benefited should pay for the improvement,
