SAN PEDRO STREET
WILL Be IMPROVED
TO BE OPENED FROM ALSO TO
FIFTH
Assessments Collected by Sale of Prop
erty Representing Delinquencies
Amounting to More Than
$4,000

Years of hard work and waiting
afternoon when delinquent assessments
for the opening and widening of San
Pedro street, from Also to Fifth, were
collected by the sale of property rep
resenting delinquencies amounting to
more than $4,000.
The sale was conducted by Colonel
Schneider, and some pieces of property
had to be sold to the city, as there
were no bidders. But as the property
is valuable, it is not probable the city
will obtain title, as it will be redeemed
by the original owners before the re
quired time elapses.
An effort was made yesterday mCrn-
ing by several attorneys to secure an
injunction against the sale, but the
Injunction was refused and the sale
proceeded without interruption. Those
who sought the injunction were r. r.
de Padilla, I. de Padilla, H. S. Bennett,
Henry T. Gage and w. H. Foley. While
the injunction was not granted, these
persons have filed suit to recover the
property sold for assessment from the
city. 1t is located on San Pedro street,
between First and Jackson.
Proceedings to open and widen San
Pedro street were begun about twelve
years ago. The plan then was to widen
it from First street south. These pro-
ceedings, after dragging through the
courts for several years, We're knocked
out, but later proceedings were begun
to open the street from Also, and this
has been dragging along for about five
years.
The improvement is one of the most
expensive of the kind that has ever
been started in Los Angeles. The en-
tire damages awarded amount to more
than $5O0,00O.
When completed the street will be
eighty feet wide, and as soon as opened
and widened proceedings will begin to
pave it with asphalt.

To improve Mission
The four days fiesta at the mission is
the result of the work of the San
Gabriel Mission society, which was or
ganized in June for the purpose of put
ting the old church and grounds in
presentable> state for visitors, and to
build mission school for the 400 or
more children of the parish.
The old cemetery, which was started
one hundred and thirty years ago when
the mission was founded. is being
plated and sodded and driveways laid
out and the old headstones restored. A
man will be kept in charge of this in
teresting relic of the bygone days and
will care for the plants, trees and vines
with which the old burying ground Is
to be graced.
The mission society is composed of
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-18

both Americans and MeXicans, and is
in the nature of a civic organization.
Although but three months old it al
ready has given several enjoyable en-
tertainments and has a. snug fund
started for the purposes mentioned.
The Spanish priests in charge of the
church lend their approval and aid to
the work which the society has
undertaken.
The San Gabriel mission dates back
to iii, when 1t was founded September
by two Franciscan friars, who were
protected from the Indians by small
troop of Spanish soldiers.
The mission church as 1t stands to-
day was built in 1776, and contains
MANY interesting relics. The original
baptismal font of copper, which was
sent over from Spain and in which
5000 Indians have been baptized into
the Christian faith, is to be seen, and
the room where it has stood for more
than a century is but little changed.
Floors Are Ancient
The floor is covered with the same
rough blocks of brick and the ancient
floor can be seen in the sacristy. The
main entrance to the church editice
is gained through the old doors of four
inch, pine plank, which swings on
posts set into the masonry.
Back of the pulpit are hand carved
statues OF wood, representing San
Gabriel, the Virgin Mary and four
patron saints, which were brought
from Spain when the church was built.
On the walls are many oil paintings,
the work of Spanish masters, one of
which, the Holy Trinity" was painted
by Lucas in the seventeenth century
and never has been retouched.
In many places can be seen the old
hand-hewn timbers which form the
support of the building and on the
street side of the building is an ancient

America to own and control our own
harbor and our own docks and wharves
and we will then be in a position to
invite all ships of commerce to our
shores. We must also take into con-
sideration a municipality owned and
controlled transportation system be-
tween our BUSINESS center and our
harbor.
Another proposition is the housing
or our city employees under one roof.
In this connection it is my firm opinion
that the consolidation of city and
county government would save our
tax PAYERS a vast amount of money
and give us much more efficient SER
vice.
''It takes commercialism as well as
patriotism to build UP a great city
and [ therefore favo- a broad and
progressive policy in municipal affairs,
based on sound business methods; d
policy that is PR ctica as W | as pro-
gressive and I say to you here tonight
that if 1 am nominated at the primaries
and afterward elected mayor, my
greatest ambition will be to cerve all
the people. all the time and under all
circumstances, and nv ever m will
be to further the advancement and
upbuilding of Greater Los Ang les by
an honest and capable adm nistr ton.
Upon this stand I solicit your support
and sufference."

ing done at less cost than the first esti-
mates. I firmly believe this vast un-
dertaking will be completed at least
a year ahead of schedule time.
Another proposition that is con-
fronting us just now in connection with
this project is the development OF
power from this source, which will
bring an immense revenue to our peo-
pie for all time to come. We must de-
velOp this power and we must keep it
and control it and not give away any of
our privileges.
School Question Serious
Another question of the most serious
importance just at this time is Tho
school question. We must keep pace
with our growth by providing schools
enough TO accommodate all our school
children. The Importance of this mat
ter cannot be over-estimated and un-
der no circumstances should we lack
school facilities so that all children can
be accommodated. L believe in build
ing for the future. 1 believe our
schools and public buildings should be
built of the most durable and lasting
material and 1 believe it woulu be good
business policy for the city to erect
only fire-proOf buildings.
Another proposition that confronts
US now is the obligations assumed and
made by our city and it's civic bodies
to the people of Wilmington and San
Pedro through the consolidation COM
mittee. We have a harbor that must
be developed and bonds issued and
sold for the completion of that harbor
and it will be money well invested.
It will eventually repay one hundred
fold We will be the first city in

The mission has been visited for

CLASH With POWERS
OVER DOG ORDINANCE
MEMBERS OF HEALTH BOARD
AGAINST MEASURE
MuzzIing Law Declared Too Drastic
and Too Broad in Its Scope
by Drs. Chambers and
Gibbons

DR.. Powers, city health officer, and
members of the board of health have
clashed over the dog muzzling ordi-
nance. Drs. Gibbons and Chambers
do not approve the ordinance, and DR..
Gibbons held a long conference yes
terday over the matter.
When the conference was concluded
Mayor Alexander said:
1T probably will develop by Tues
day whether or not the action was
hasty, and if it proves that the ordi-
nance is not needed the council p OBJ
ably will repeal it. I signed the ordi-
nance on the recommendation of DIR.
Powers, because he said it was
urgently needed as a protective meas
ure against hydrophobia. l feel ire
the health officer was doing what he
considered best for the welfare of
the community, and as hasty action is
necessary in such circumstances, he
has erred on the right side if he has
erred at all. He should not be criti-
cised for protecting the health Of the
community"
But DR.. Gibbons was not SO mild in
his expressions.
This ordinance was submitted to
the council by DR.. Powers without
consulting any member of the board
of health. He spoke about such an
ordinance and we told him to draft
one, but to submit it to the board be-
fore asking the council to act. Tha
ordinance he has framed is entirely
too drastic. 1t is calculated to start
a totally unnecessary hydrophobia
scare. An ordinance giving the health
department power to order people to
confine their dogs in localities where
it is thought necessary would be as
good protection as muzzles and not
be half so hard on the dogs. The or
dinance is too broad in it's scope"

MATCH PENNIES TO SEE
WHO PAYS EXTRA NICKEL
Members Of Board of Public Works
Gamble In Connection with Pre-
sentation of Banner

Horrors! Gambling in the board of
public worksl President Hubbard and
General Chaffee actually matched pen
MES yesterday to see who would pay
cents more than the other, and the
president won.
This iniquity was brought about by a
bill presented for banner for tunnel
No I'm. When a tunnel gang breaks
a record the board of public works pre-
sents it with a banner, and last month
the tunnel record of the world was
broken at tunnel III M. The board
promptly ordered fitting banner made
and presented it to the tunnel gang.
The cost of these banners comes out of
the individual pockets of the members
of the board of public works The price
was $3.50. Divided as equally as possi-
BILE among the three members of the
board, it made $2.15 for two shares and

Promoters of Affair Also Wish to Add
Mission School to Accommo-
cate 400 Children Of
the Parish

The old mission of San Gabriel, ten
miles east of Los Angeles, is the scene
of gayety, the occasion being a four
days' festival in celebration of the
ninety-ninth anniversary of the 1nde-
pendence of Mexico.
Gayly bedecked booths, where every
thing useful and ornamental is sold,
have been erected within the church
inclosure, presided over by beautiful
senoritas in fancy costumes.
In a sheltered corner of the ancient
church a stage has been erected, and
every evening an entertainment is Civ
en- which is well worth the trip from
the city.
Old Spanish songs, written ages ago,
and graceful Spanish dances carry the
visitors back to the old days of Span
ish dominion.
Americanos mingle with the natives
of Old Mexico in affording amusement
and entertainment for the guests of
this ancient landmark of civilization
and adding to the success of the san
Gabriel Mission society, which devised
this novel Spanish fair for the benefit
of the fund for the rehabilitation of
the old church.
The fair was opened Thursday, Inde-
pendence day, the opening number, the
Mexican national hymn, being followed
by an address in Spanish by Rev. Juan
Caballeria. Sports, a concert and ora
tions filed the time until evening. when
there was a select program in the the
ater, which included dances by natives
from the Indian village.
Fish Dinner Chief Attraction
A fish dinner from 5 to was the
chief attraction offered the inner man
yesterday, followed by a band concert.
The program in the theater consisted
of a piano solo by Miss Mayme Sterner,
vocal selection by Mrs William Kim
ball, a four-character sketch by the
Mission Dramatic club of Los Ange-
les, piano solo by Miss Isabel Vaillan-
court, and vocal selection by Mrs. c. d.
Harmon.
Today will be the big day at the fair.
and the booths will be open from 2
o'clock to II o'clock p. m. At o'clock
there will be the usual band concert,
to be followed by a splendid program
in the theater. The especial attraction
in the evening will be the Spanish
dances by Senorita Viola Yorba and
Senior Don Ernesto Martinez, who will
render "El Sombrero Blanco" and the
Santiago waltz. This entertainment
will be given by the Old Mission Dra-
matte club of Los Angeles, under di-
rection of Mrs. M L. Larieux, assisted
by her daughter, Mrs. Ida L. Sanchez.
The full program for the evening Is
as follows:
