PROTEST AGAINST CAR
BARNS IN NElGHBORHoOD
Opposition to Proposed Buildings
on Santa Barbara Avenue

Protesting against the construction
of car barns on Santa Barbara avenue,
just south of Agricultural park, a big
crowd of interested persons appeared
before the public welfare committee
yesterday afternoon. The protestants
want the land on which it is proposed
to build the barns added to the park.
The Los Angeles railway officials
promised they would build handsome
concrete structure on the land that
would not be an eyesore, even if it was
to be used for housing cars.
The committee did not come to any
decision yesterday but intimated that
it probably would recommend that the
property owners secure a petition
signed by at least 25 per cent of the
property owners in the proposed as
sessment district and then steps would
be taken to condemn the land and add
1t to the park.
