Mr. Thomas reporting for the committee which laid the paving proposition before he city trustees said the latter body had assured the committee that if the necessary majority frontage were signed up, the city board would take it up and adopt a resolution of intention ordering the work done. The city trustees, he said, assured the committee of its enthusiastic support in street paving, and only awaited presentation of petitions requesting the work done to set the machinery of the law in motion with that end in view. It was decided to immediately begin the circulation of petitions for signatures, and the following districts were allotted members: South Los Angeles street—Wickett. North Los Angeles street—Thomas. West Center street, north side—Dietrich; south side, Enfield. East Center street, north side—Schumacher; south side, Mullinix. Streets to be paved are Los Angeles from Santa Ana to Sycamore, and Center from Orange to Palm. Property owners on these streets will be required to pay half the cost, while those in the proposed district will pay the balance. This assessment district extends from Orange street on the east to Citron on the west, and from Sycamore on the north to Santa Ana street on the south. Mr. Thomas showed that it would be necessary to pave 376,500 square feet, which at 17 cents per square foot, would bring the cost of the work to $64,005. He had been informed the cost would probably be less, possibly 13 cents, and cited the case of Santa Ana which is paving Main street to the new sugar factory at a cost of 10½ cents. Santa Ana procured an abundance of gravel in the Santiago creek, which could be delivered in that city at a very cheap rate. The haul hither would be longer, but gravel beds might be found nearer town. The committee appointed to confer with Supervisor Linebarger with reference to good roads was granted further time.

Here the committee criticised the doors leading to classrooms, because they opened inside instead of outside. In case of fire and a panic among the children, one of the visitors declared, the doorways might become clogged, with pupils determined upon escaping and a dreadful catastrophe ensue. Then the committee inspected the fire escapes which were installed at the instance of a former grand jury, and which mar the architectural beauty of one of the largest and handsomest school buildings in the difficulty they were restrained hopping out of the window.

Mitchell. At a late people departed, hav- dren, one of the visitors declared, the doorways might become clogged, with pupils determined upon escaping and a dreadful catastrophe ensue. Then the committee inspected the fire escapes which were installed at the instance of a former grand jury, and which mar the architectural beauty of one of the largest and handsomest school buildings in the county. They found the fire escapes too narrow, and now taxpayers may awake one fine morning to find an assessment levied to tear out the fire escapes and put in new ones. For the grand jury, "the Wizard of Oz, is great and terrible and its mandates must be obeyed. The grand jurymen returned to their criticism of the inside-opening doors, and will probably recommend they be replaced by others opening outside. A dreadful calamity and loss of precious lives might happen, they said. Suddenly the fire alarm rang out through the building. The grand jurymen were about to flee for their lives, their faces blanched with fear, and knees quivering. Principal Topel quieted their fears, assuring them there was really no danger, and that it was only a false alarm, in order to show them how quickly the school could be emptied in time of fire. The sound of footsteps on the double-quick, and teachers' voices commanding the pupils and getting them out of the building, smote upon their ears. Outside, the shouts of the lusty youngsters emerging from the building, filled the air. The grand jurymen stood in a deserted hallway, scrutinizing the doors which opened inside instead of outside. It had taken 30 seconds to clear the eight-roomed two-story building of its precious contents. Three hundred children had filed out of the building ere yet the honorable gentlemen had recovered from the tremors which beset them at the alarm. If it had not been for Principal Topel the grand jury might have been minus three of its members, for some of the kids say it was with A largely signed petition sented the trustees asking for mission of the question.
