VOTE THE BONDS

nWO weeks from today the people
will be asked tc vote bonds Tor

pent Of aqueduct power. Every reason
within the broad range of patriotism
as well as the narrower range Of self
interest would make the success of the
bord issue imperative.
All of our readers should be enlisted
in the Bond Boosters club. There is
no admission fee There is no register
to sign. All you nave TO do is TO boost
the bonds-to talk about them 10 your
friends--to bring them up as subjects
of conversation whenever you can, to
make all your friends understand as
thoroughly as you can understand that
the formality of voting MUST be gone
through before the great progressive
measures that viii make Greater Los
Angeles the maritime and manufacture
ing metropolis of the west can be car
ried into effect.
Boost the bonds. When the harbor
and power bonds are voted, Greater
Los Angeles will be able to iooN ahead
with that definite, absolute certainty
which produces the confidence that
commands success and prosperity.

T UDGE LOVETT, Greater Los An
geles needs a union depot. The
~ development of this city in the
near future will be Immensely greater
than it has been in the past. Plenty
of power and a big safe harbor will
make it the manufacturing and mari

facilities must be adequate TO the
greatly increased and constantly in
creasing needs of Los Angeles.
Good government will be assured to
Greater Los Angeles for many years
to come The people have had taste
of 1t, and they want more. Now, more
good government means more prosper
ity; more prosperity means more
growth: certainty of more growth en-
phasizes the need of a station equal to
metropolitan requirements.
Greater Los Angeles believes your
common sense, sagacity, railroad eX-
perience and square-deal nature Will
give you a unanimous verdict in favor
of Greater Los Angeles and a metro
politan union depot; and that you Will

SOUTH PARK STRIP SITUATION
DISCUSSED BY TAXPAYER

LOS ANGELES, April 2.-[Editor
Herald: The people are inquiring
What has been done with the park
strip" Some time ago the city coun-
ell took this matter up. defined the
assessment district. got engineers estl-
mated cost, etc. and the next heard is
that the case is in the hands of the
good and welfare committee. Engineers
estimated cost was not more than $780,
600, and the assessment district so large
that not over 10 cents a front foot
would be necessary. There is a state
law providing this assessment district
for parks Also the law says that 90
per cent of the frontage must be reE-
resented by property owners names In
protest petitions. The heap long" pro-
test petitions will dwindlc down con-
siderably f this law is enforced, as it
can be proved that very many names
were obtained under misTepresenta-
tion and are not property owners. AS
a truth, the people DO want the park
squared with the world and are willing
to pay "A reasonable tax, as officially
stated. As to facts, the property on
the north side of Forty-ninth street
put i'm the street, even to the opposite
curb and one foot besides. This was
duly accepted by the city, with the
understanding that it ever be main
tanned as a street and not. as now, as
an alley, with chicken coops, barns,
etc, facing Forty-ninth street. There
was a fine tennis court nearly COM
pleted on park grounds, and on COM
plants of the strip residents it was
abandoned, and even the telephone
poles had to be removed from off this
select ground TO Forty-ninth ''alley.'
Has the city no rights even on park
grounds?
1t is clearly in the province of the
city of Greater Los Angeles to look
well into the welfare and illfare of the
parks, for the benefit of future popula-
ton There are only eight houses on
the strip now, but in the near future
there may be twenty-eight to purchase,
as there are twenty-eight lots. The
time to act is now, and the best judg-
ment of the city council, park commits
sioners and welfare committee will no
doubt be maintained and a legal cheek
ing up of protest names be demanded.
This is but simple justice to all con-
cerned. A TAXPAYER.
