Small Congregation In
England.

Twelve years ago. when the vii
layers living of the border of Reigate
heath, Surrey, England, had no place
of worship nearer than the parish
church, a service was held in a school
room close by and was so well at
tended that the authorities looked
around for a suitable permanent build
ing.
The erection of a church was out Of
the question, but there stood on the
heath the remains of an old mill, q
picturesque feature in a beautiful bit
of landscape. Inspection showed that

City Is dou BILE IN area, EN- bracing

ded. This year, 1909, there was
added the Seaports of San Pedro

East Hollywood, 10 square miles.
In other words, in three years,
the city has dou oled in size. Elk
elusive of annexed districts, the
city has opened up this year 100
miles of new streets. We now
have 714 miles of improved streets
exclusive of annexed districts.
There are 346 miles of street car
lines IN the city, and 700 miles of
suburban roads; 102 passenger
trans leave or arrive on the steam
roads every day, and 46 freight
trains.
The Owens River aquaduct is
progressing nicely. Water will
be here by the Summer of 1913;
and we will have, in addition,
power plants to generate at least
$4,000 horse power of electricity
for light and heat. Southern
