vy Preliminary plans for the hotel, which is to be named the "Monarch Mission Inn," are now being prepared by Albert C. Martin. These all for a huge structure measuring, 272x195 feet In outside dimensions and built around a courtyard 140-150 feet in size. The building will be five stories in height and will be of prick and concrete construction, the exterior walls being finished with plaster and the roof being of red-clay tile. 'The structure will contain 200 guest rooms and -150 baths.

A distinctive architectural feature will be a broad stone-paved arcade entirely surrounding the hotel and the roof of which will con-, stltute a- promenade. A massive stone fountain in the center of the court will add to the charm of the whole. The lobby, according to the plans, will be finished in oak and handsomely paneled and watnscoated with wood corners and an ornamental plaster veiling. The main -40x70 feet in size, wfll have lvory-tlnted walls, tapestry panels and moulded plaster celling. There will be several smaller private dinlng-rooms adjoining.

Opposite the main lobby In the east wing of the building is to be a library and adjoining thl a parlor, 40x0 feet in size, ifnished In white and' gold.

Some of the wide-awake owners of private residence tracts have had the perception to realize that the pole is entirely lacking in ornamental qualities, and have at their, own expense provided conduits forsuch wires as penetrate their but these men are few and far between.

As a general rule the taxpayers of Los Angeles appear to be perfectly content to endure both poles and wires. The city itself has made' only the' feeblest efforts at solution of the problem. It is high time people were waking up to the fact' that Los Angeles can never hope to be a real city beautiful until tua wire oole-Js eliminated from the streets. A man may spend a small fortune In building a fine home and in laying out beautiful grounds, only to, have the effect of the spoiled by a collection of wire-strewn poles set In front of his place. "The mystery i.

The con struction and' care of the conduit Itself 'offers no such i difficulties here as prevail in the eastern cities. Why, should Los Angeles toe behind other places In getting rid ot the poles? No good reason exists why Los Angeles should not have a universal underground trolley, wire system as well as a system of conduits for all power, lighting and 'telephone wires.

New York' City, with all the disadvantages Its "suffers from' winter, floods and freeses, many miles of trolley wires under the streets, snd has established the feasibility of tho plan. The trolley extends downward from the bottom of the car through a slot between the tracks, completely llm! rating the necessity for poles of any ort along the sides of the straat.

Los Angeles could put a stop to the constant tearing up of its streets 4ry the utility corporations and by Its own water and sewer departments If It, would attack that problem In businesslike manner. It could eliminate forever the weed and billboard nuisances that constitute such a disgrace to the city, Jf It would only, get at it. The objectionable pretence of wire poles along otherwise sightly streets Is a fault common to many American cities.

Europeans coming to this country always express amazement that our municipalities rontent have their fairest prospects marred by the omnipresent poles.
