TabuIared Data Compiled by Geo
f. Franklin.

TabuIared Data Compiled by Geo.
L. franklin.
The following tabulated data and in
formation in reference to the meteoro-
logical conditions of Los Angeles were
compiled from the records Of the United
States Signal Service Office, by George
E. Franklin, observer in charge OF the
station, and comprises a period from the
establishment OF the station in July,
1877, to October, 1883, inclusive. The
tabulated matter will be found to contain
valuable and comprehensive data, and
cannot fail to be of interest as showing
the climatic advantages of this section.
The temperature tables contain the
highest, lowest and mean temperatures,
the number of days the temperature was
above 80 degrees and below 80 de.
preee. in each month and each year, with
averages for the period considered. An
examination of these tables will show
that there were but thirteen days on
which the temperature rose to or exceed
ed 100 degrees, and eight days on which
it fell to 32 degrees or below. The
average number Of days annually on
which the temperature exceeds 90 de-
grees is only fifteen. The highest re-
, corded temperature was 1883 degrees
and the lowest 2S degrees. fact to bs
noted in considering these tables is tina
during the time of greatest heat the per
centage of moisture in the atmosphere ii
low, and modifies the temperature 81
that the heat is neither oppressive no
prostrating. which is we'll illustrated b.
iaborers continuing work during tn
hottest period. -,
The following table shows the highest
lowest and mean temperature for eacl
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-01

The above list shows that during the
year buildings valued at 80, ,455, 1858 were
completed and commenced. 1t is es.
timated that cottages and dwellings val
ued at 100000 were built without the
aid of architects, and of these no record
was kept. The total amount Of building
during the year was, therefore
$40, 100000.
Such is the building record of this city
for year. Here follow the records @
some dozen of the leading architects
whose work in detail is given above ant
whose work adorns so many of tht

A GOOD JOB.
How Detective Robert C. Davis Got a
Man Who Skipped Mis- Bonds,

Several months ago gentleman here went
bonds to the amount of $500 for friend.
When it came time for the appearance before
court of the man who was out on bonds he
did not show up and his friend was obliged
to hand over the money. There was not the
slightest clue of his whereabouts. The case
was given to Detective Robert A. Davis and
he at once began to work it up although he
had little or nothing for clue to work on.
Finally he trailed the man to Yarmouth and
there learned that he was somewhere in
Massachusetts. Mr.. Davis went to that
State and found that his man had been work
ing in one town and boarding in another
under an assumed name. He had left this
place and gone to Somerville to which place
the detective followed him, hunted him down
although he still went under an assumed
name, and finally arrested him. Mr.. Davis
arrived in this city with his prisoner, Thurs
day night and the man whose name is Arthur
L. Kenney is how in Jail. 1t was a real fox
hunt, as Detective Davis calls it, but not
withstanding the difficulties in his way he
got his man.
