HOLLYWOOD

ON June 20 Hollywood tunnel VIII De De
completed and Hollywood Will
~ hold celebration in honor of this
most important event in it's history, The
Los Angeles-Pac railroad has prom
ised more frequent service and vast
improvement in it's rolling stock and
general equipment, and citizens of Hol-
lywood, Colegrove and the entire Ca
huenga district look forward with
pleasurable anticipation to the time
when such Improvement will not only
benefit the travelling public but will
have a tendency to increase the num-
Der of suburbanites. Other things
being equal, comfortable, safe rapid
transit works like a charm in produc-
ing increase of population and wealth
in any district which adjoins a center
of population.
The suburbs which will be benefited
by the Hollywood tunnel hope to OBJ
tain cheaper fares as we'll as improved
service and a saving of time. From
Hollywood and Colegrove the tunnel
will reduce the time about ten minutes,
MAKING IL possible 10 accomplish lIe
run between Fourth street station and
Hollywood in twenty minutes Rapid
transit improvements to a great extent
viii metropolitanize the wide subur-
ban area of Los Angeles, creating a
busy city, surrounded by homes, a CEN
ter of commercial activity within easy
access of suburban dwellings.
Hollywood and the other home towns
are extremely attractive to fasteners.
They find in them all they have been
taught or told to expect in California
surroundings and scenery of charm and
beauty, the best climate that is to be
had under the sun and at the same
time accessibility to a great center of
business and metropolitan activity.

GREATER LOS ANGELES

WITH a rapidity unrivaled by the
w record of any other city of today
or of history, the population of
Greater Los Angeles is being increased.
That it will be doubled within a few
years is a safe prediction, based on past
performances. This increased popula-
ton will demand increased commercial
opportunity, and San Pedro harbor will
occupy a most valuable relation to that
opportunity.
The interests of the harbor to a great
extent are identical with the interests
of Los Angeles. 1t is therefore impor-
tant that the community Of interest
should be attended by a community of
government which will prevent confu-
sion and trouble. To keep San Pedro
as a municipality distinct and separate
from the municipality of Los Angeles
would be a gigantic folly which might
have serious consequences to Southern
California
This is realized by all who have stud
led the question; who are aware the
local San Pedro opposition to CONSOLE
datton cannot be founded upon patriot
ism, good faith or intelligent under
standing of the matters at stake. The
only possible beneficiaries of a policy
of separatism would be the corpora
tions, and they could only be benefici-
aries by pursuing a policy Of resolute
and unyielding hoggery at variance
with the best traditions of progressive
Southern California, although unfor-
tunately not at variance with the worst
traditions of the corporations.
The broad, American policy of making
provision for the greatest good of the
greatest number demands that petty
selfishness, jealousy or meanness should
not be allowed to interfere with the
plans made for Greater Los Angeles,
the METROPOLIS of the west.

AERONAUTICS

:" ILBUR and Orville Wright, the
w aeronauts, have burst big bal
loon. It was not a balloon of
the ordinary kind, yet it was filled with
hot air: composed OF the prevalent
opinion regarding the vast fortune
accumulated by our plucky American
airship pioneers while they were in
Europe.
"Our friends in America should dis
regard the stories which have preceded
us concerning the vast amounts of
money we are said to have received.
The only money we have received came
from the government Of France,
amounting to 100000 Of course we
have contracts with Germany, Italy and
the United Kingdom, but they are en-
tirely tentative, and should not be con-
sidered as direct income to us until
we have completed the stipulations
called for in such contracts
OF greater general interest than the
stories of negotiations with niggardly
governments which want something for
nothing, is the statement that many
individuals are ordering aeroplanes.
The only trouble anticipated is in teach
ing purchasers how to use the machines.
Mr.. Wright says there will be a brisk
demand for aeroplane instructors. Am
bilious young men who do not know
how to make living. and think every
trade is filled and every occupation
occupied, should make a note of this.
