Hints of Progress.

By the politeness Of Mr.. s. Lazard,
President Of the City Water Company.
. reporter Of the HERALD yesterday Wis
tied the scene OF operations Of this com.
pany on the northeast corner Of the
Plaza. The company employs twenty
FIVE men constantly in laying new pipes,
mending breaks, making connection with
buildings and improving the reservoirs
and ditch of the corporation. I
The growth and expansion Of the city
is well illustrated by the constantly en-
larging field Of their operations. Mr..
Lazard stated that the Water Company
kad purchased 100, 900 feet ofiron pipe to
be laidin our streets as rapidly as possible.
A large part Of this is thick six-inch
pipe the best that can be obtained. In.
cluding connecting pipe, the company
will lay about twenty miles of water
pipe this year. This is very good in
dication Of the great growth of the city.
East of the Plaza. across Alameda
street, Mr.. F. 5. Eaton has large es-
tablishment for covering iron pipe with
canvas by machinery, and then dipping
it in boiling aspbaltum. which renders it
indestructible from rust. much more so
than plain iron pipe dipped in the same.
This is a very important improvement to
sheet iron pipe and makes. besides, fine
market for heavy petroleum oil. of
which Los Angeles county has an album
dance. Mr. Eaton, We are glad to know,
is doing well with his valuable inv ention
for himself and the public.
