WILL FILE PROTEST
AGAINST SPUR TRACK
MEETING OF CITIZENS HELD
AT BOYLE HEIGHTS
Petition Setting Forth Objections to
Railroad Laying Rails in Fourth
Street Will Be Presented
to Council

A mass meeting of citizens living IN
the vicinity of East Third and East
Fourth streets was held last night IN
the Catholic home at Third and Breed
streets and a petition drawn protest
ing against the proposed building OF
spur track on East Fourth street.
The petitioners declare the building
of spur track will close much
needed thoroughfare from East Fourth
to Boyle Heights, and the petition Will
be presented to the council this morn
ing.
At the meeting resolutions were also
drawn protesting against the eonstruc-
tion of a proposed cross street at
Fourth street to Alameda street. This
question has been considered for more
than a year, the claim of the tax
PAYERS in that section being that the
proportioning of the tan assessment
for such a cross street is unbearable
and unjust.
The spur track proposition aroused
the bitterest resentment, as the pro-
testants claim that already there are
too few approaches from Boyle Heights
to the center of Los Angeles. BY
granting the building of the spur
track il is claimed it will mean a
thoroughfare will be closed which will
cause much inconvenience.
George H. Bancroft was secretary at
the mass meeting and he will present
the petitioners protest to the council.
