be a couple of blocks from the 6th St. Suburban Station so that people in the suburban towns can attend the evening classes without the an noyance and expense of an extra carfare.” The plan at the time was to pur chase the adjoining lot which was 70 x 116, which Horton considered, together with the one already pur chased, would be ample for 700 stu dents and would provide an audi torium and classrooms far superior to that which the Moody Bible In stitute had at the time. He was anxious to make the additional pur chase, having read the published statement of Henry Huntington, President of the Los Angeles Rail way System, concerning the loop ing of all the Los Angeles streetcars around Main and 11th Streets, which would make that area the center of the city.
