| Abstract | Interest in the city limits of Los Angeles is widespread. This interest has led travelers and soldiers in a jocular mood to plant signs reading "Los Angeles City Limits" in far-off places such as Tokyo, Berlin, and the Arctic wastes. Even a war plane was named "Los Angeles City Limits." Noticing such references over a period of many years, the writer was led to investigate the process and progress of the enlargement of the area of Los Angeles and the reasons for this growth.; It is the belief of this Investigator that this wide extension was a reasonable solution to peculiar local problems, particularly of water supply and the building of a harbor, It was not caused by meglomania or by a conspiracy to pad the population figure in the census returns.; The writer has written at some length on the establishment of municipal jurisdiction over the original grant of four square leagues and on the obtaining of the patent to this area because he could not find these topics described elsewhere. Annexation and consolidation are treated bygeneral area whenever possible and if not too widely separated in time. The treatment is chronological within chapters. |
