CITY TO ANNEX
WEALTHY SUBURB
EAST HOLLYWOOD TO COME IN
ON FEB. 18
UNION WITH LOS ANGELES OF
RECIPROCAL BENEFIT
Beautiful Thoroughfares to Stretch
from Heart of Down Town Dis
trict to Edge of Moun-
tain Businesses

Los Angeles will annex East Holly
good roads, as well as for other ad-
vantages apparent to the average citi-
zen. The district stretching to the
northwest from the city is one Of su-
perb thoroughfares. With the compile
ton of improvements on Prospect
avenue, drivers and automobilists will
be afforded the enjoyment of speed
ing over a continuous stretch of as
phalt boulevard in Southern Califor-
MIA. The route is an alluring one.
1t winds through well rounded hills,
past beautiful and slightly residences
and on to the mountain passes. In
making this trip one will be able to
glide smoothly from the heart of Los
Angeles to Laurel canyon.
But the plan of good thoroughfares
does not end with this route. Vermont
avenue is being built and beautified
from Temple street to grand old Grif-
fifth park This will create another
ideal drive. Again work has begun
on the old Los Fefiz road an import
ant link in the chain of good roads.
Under the municipal system of Los
Angeles such roads as are needed to
COlnDlGle
contemplated for this section can be
constructed quickly.
On the other hand, East Hollywood,
which seeks to become a part of the
municipality, can equalize all such
expenses through taxation. 1t is a
borough of high class residences.
Citizens of the place are progressive
and favor the greater improvement of
all thoroughfares in that section.
With annexation, good roads, pro-
posed Improvement of connecting
thoroughfares, a splendid school sys-
TEN and facilities, fine lighting system
and plenty of water, East Hollywood
proposes to share its good things with
To Include Parks
But the addition of this distinct as
set does not represent the total value
of the transaction proposed. The whole
territory to be annexed will include
Griffith park, the greatest municipal
playground in the world, with its mag
nificent connecting boulevards; the
river bed where the municipal water
department is constructing filtration
stations, and a gig tract of additional
land where Dana Bartlett proposes the
establishment OF a municipal farm as
a solution to the tramp problem. All
these places would be under the police
authority of Los Angeles. At present
they are unprotected in this regard.
In adopting East Hollywood and the
districts indicated the city will not
only square up its north line, but bring
within the municipal limits splendid
class of citizenship, properties and
improvements running into the mil
lions.
