In this estimate it is proposed to enlarge
the main supply ditch from its present ca
pacty of IL cubic feet of water to a capacity
that will enable 1t to discharge 26 cubic feet
per second. the quantity of summer supply
at the head OF said ditch. By making said
ditch Is feet wide at bottom, with proper
lateral slopes, and giving 1t an additional
DEPTH this result can be obtained at an esti-
mated cost of about 90 cents per linear foot.
The estimate of the Board of Engineers con-
templated the additional construction of a
brick or cement conduit four feet in diame-
ter, which. under the circumstances, can
be at present dispensed with. The estimate
for zsnja 9-E is to connect the iron pipe,
crossing the Los Angeles river with the one
crossing the Arroyo Seco" The estimate
zanja s. X will connect the present enclosed
ditch at Seventh street aud the one at Adams
street ard will enclose the west branch of
SIR until 1t crosses Figuer0a street. ZaDja
can be completed to and across Seventh
street to a junction to the present pipe pass
ing through property of ]. Kiefer. Zanja .
can be completed short distance below
Kohler street; zanja to Vejar street: zanja
4 to Twelfth street, and zanja 5 to Washing
ton street with a pipe 80 inches in diameter,
or to Adams street with pipe % inches
diameter.
By an expenditure as above the central
service will be completed through those
longer needed, the New Water Fund can be
made self sustaining from the sale
OF water, and the annual tax levy can he
reduced to the amount heretofore annually
appropriated to said fund.
Your committee would additionally re-
spectfully call the attention of the Honora-
ble Council to the importance of providing
for the purchase OF reservoir sites and g.
This can be done by disposing of the lands
in the northerly portion of the city, known
as the Stone Quarry Hills, at public auction
and using the amount received therefrom
in the purchase of said sites. 1t might be
urged tnat portion of this 1926, 900 asked
for in this report should be so appropriated /:
but the construction of these reservoirs must
be future consideration and the reason for
present purchase thereof is that the en-
hancement OF values in real estate makes
delay costly, whilst it is an immediate ne
cessity in most instances that large and ex-
tensive repairs should be at once made to
the present open bitches.

with the CHILDs TRACT, URN

owing to the wonderfully
low rates at which this pop

1t is refreshing to note in
the midst of the boom in
real estate, that one reliable
firm not only gives to the
people homestead lots at
about one-third the price
charged by others, but also
performs all its promises to
the letter in the building OF
houses, open ing out ol
streets, putting up electric
lights and extending the i'm
provements Of our city to it's
farthest legitimate bounds.
The maps of the Howes Tractar now
ready and all will be hustle and activity
on this beautifulproperty; surveyors will
be laying off the streets and avenu es,
builders will be placing houses and
pushing forward at once all the improve
ments promised, and the Tract, now al.
most all covered with vines, orange trees
and splendid foliage, will put on met
ropolitan look and keep up with its
beautiful surroundings of costly build
ings and cottage residences.
The Howes Tract fronts on Jefferson
street, west of Vermont avenue. The
location is a very popular one, in the di-
rect line of the oity's rapid growth, and
will soon be rea .hed by lines of street
and the Motor Road on the

Los Angeles to the issuance OF bonds for II e
amount of $4,000
Respectful ysubmitteS,
II. SINsABAUGH,
Committee on Sewers.
FINANCE COMMITTEE.
To the Honorable Council of the City OF
Los Angeles:
Your Committee on Finance beg leave re-
spectfully to submit.
i. state ment that for some time past
your com mittee has had under considera-
tion the tax levy for the present fiscal year
with view to reducing the same to a rate
of 81 on the 500 valuation, plus the amount
required for the interest and sinking fund
with which to meet the present bonded in
debtedness.
1t has been generally the custom hereto
fore to obtain the amounts necessary for ex-
penditures in making permanent improve
ments WI ich have been required from time
to time (such as bridges, pubiic buildings,
Improvements in the water system, etc.
etc., from direct tax, included in the tax
levy for the fiscal year in which the i'm
provements were commenced
In the opinion of your committee this
method is wrong in the abstract, as, in most
instances, it has necessitated the construc-
tion of works in detached sections, subject
to the diversified opinions of Councils an
nually changing its members, when, in the
interest of economy and comparative per-
fection, such improvements should have
been constructed at once TO a final compile
tion; and, again, 1t does not appear to be
correct in principle that the present should
pay for the necessities and requirements of
the future. The growth of the city has been
so abnormally rapid in the past two years,
however, and its necessities for the proper
service of the public in the various depart
ments OF the city government have so null
tiplied and increased that it is no longer
practicable to carry out the rule established
by ancient usage. That this latter assertion
is correct your committee refers to the re-
ports of the Committee on Water Supply
and Committee on Sewers, herewith pre-
sented and made a part of this report, and
to the estimate of the Board of Public
Works. By these reports it will be seen that
there is needed the following amounts:
Committee on Water supply =. 49,. SIPS, 900
Committee on Sewers ers............... $4,000
City Hall ...,........ .............-. $4,000
Making total of.................$.2 of s 20, ,0O0
To which should be added at least $25, 600
for street improvements, bridges, etc., in
order that the avenues leading into the city
should SO be improved as to accommodate
the convenience and necessities of the
travelling public.
2 An estimate that there will be required
for the fixed expenses OF the city for the fis-
cal year the following amounts on each S10C
of valuation. This estimate Is based upon
a total assessed valuation of sl5, ,000, 900:

st. Nicholas.
One of George Westinghouse early
copy books contains list of a hun
dred and ten "Rules of Civility and
Decent Behavior in Company and
Conversation" Here are a few of
them:
every action in company ought
to be with some sign of respect to
those present.
"When you meet with one of
greater quality than yourself, stop
and retire, especially if it be at a door
Or any strait place, to give way for
him to pass.
"They that are in dignity or in
office have in all places presidency ;
but whilst they are young, they ought
to respect those that are their equals
in birth or other qualities, though
they have no public charge.
"Strive not with your superiors in
argument, but always submit your
judgment to Others with modesty.
"Be not hasty to believe flying re-
ports to the disparagement of any.
"Take all admonitions thankfully,
in what time or place soever given
but afterward, not being culpable,
take time or place convenient to let
him know it that gave them.
"Think before you speak; pro-
nounce not imperfectly, nor bring out
your words too hastily, but orderly
and distinctly.
"Speak not evil of the absent, for ii
is unjust.
"Make no show of taking great de.
light in your victuals; feed not with
greediness; cut your bread with a
knife; lean not on the table; neither
find fault with what you eat.
"Be not angry at table whatever
happens, and if you have reason tC
be so, show it not; put on cheerful
countenance, especially if there be
strangers, for good humor makes one
dish of meat feast.
"Let your recreations be manful,
not sinful.
Labor to keep alive in your breast
that little spark of celestial fire called
conscience"
These are not unwise rules; they
touch on things great and small. The
difficulty with most boys would be
to follow a hundred and ten of them

THE SILVER LINING.

There's never day so sunny,
But little cloud appears;
There's never life so happy
But it has had its time of tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
There's never Il garden growing
With roses in every plot;
There's never heart so hardened
But it has one tender spot;
We have only to prune the border
To find the forget.me.nOt.
There's never Il cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet;
There's never path so rugged
That bears not the prints of feet;
And we have u helper promised
For the trials we may meet.
There's never a sun that rises
But we know twill set at night;
The tints that CLEAN in the morning,
At even are just as bright;
And the hour that is the sweetest
Is between the dark and the light.
There's never dream that's happy
But the waking makes us sad
There's never dream of sorrow
But the waking makes us glad
We shall look some day with wonder
At tie troubles ", llf' had
There's never way so narrow
But the entrance is made straight;
There's always guide to point us
To the "little wicker gate;"
And the angels will he nearer
To the soul that is desolate.
There's never heart so naughty
But will some day bow and kueel;
There's never heart so wounded
That the Savior cannot heal
There's many lowly forehead
That'is bearing the hidden seal.
