An Architects official Views ON
the subjec,.
At the official solicitation OF w. G. Day,
ESQ.,, of the Department of the Interior,
Washington, United States Geological
Survey, Division of Mining Statistics and
Technology, John Hall, architect,
has forwarded to Washington his
annual report on the progression
of buildings in Los Angeles
for the past year, together with the ma
ture and qualities of materials employed
in their construction.
Mr.. Hall was invited not only to
answer specific questions, but to add
such matter as, in his judgment,
would be of special value to the COM
munity at large.
In his report he has taken advantage
of the license given him by writing q
request that he may be instructed to
forward specimenssof our Southern Cali
fornia granite, marble, onyx, brown and
buff stones, clay, terra Gotta, sewer pipes,
and last, but not least, lime and cement
stones. He suggested that ''a collection
might prove desirable acquisition tc
the Government Museum at Washing
ton, and would certainly prove the value
of a moiety Of our unequalled resources
of materials for building purposes.
In answering the question as to, "what
he can say of the increase of the use o.
cement, instead of lime mortar, in the
erection of buildings" he replied that &C.
ment is not so extensively used in the
erection of buildings in Los Angeles and
explained that recent experiments point
to an issue that will prove very valuable
to this coast in the near future, inasmuch
as foreign brands of cement will cease to
be an importation.
He stated, that within the past year,
discoveries of have been made OF inn
mense deposits of fossiliferous and cal
Gaseous matter, probably the remains oi
an old estuary or bay, thrown high oui
of place above the sea level, which is now
being converted into an excellent hy-
draulic lime, of strong tenacious quality,
far superior to all hydraulic lines now
in use on this coast, and not excelled on
the whole continent. Ithas vast future,
and careful selection of the deposit mat

school Matters az Boyle Heights

school Matters at Boyle Heights
A large and enthusiastic meeting oi
the electors OF Belvidere School District,
just east of the city limits, on Boyle
Heights, was held at the of house W. F.
Henning, on Thursday evening last, to
protest against the action of the School
Board.
DR.. S. H. Weller called the meeting to
order and unged the importance OF taking
some immediate action. Prof. j. M.
Coyner was chosen Chairman and VIM.
FL. Smylie Secretary. 1t was stated and
shown that the School Board had select
ed site and were proceeding to erect a
school house on the same, contrary to
law and the orders of the court and in
direct violation of all requests by the cleo
tors to give them chance to vote upon
the selection of a site, as the law very
plainly says they should.
Strong resolutions were proposed and
unanimously adopted and signed by all,
being large majority of the electors OF
the district.
Attorneys were employed and instruct
ed to prevent the paying out of any money
from the funds of said district for the
erection of a school house unless such
school house be erected upon site
selected in lawful manner by the quail
fed electors of the district.
The Secretary was requested to make
a report of the proceedings to the press
of the city and warn all laborers and
contractors that if they took the risk o1
working under this board, they must
look to the board personally for their
pay until said board proceeds according
to law, by asking the voters of the dis
trict to select site.

ter will make a cement fully equal to the
best English brands" and added that
next year, he hopes to be able to report
the successful progress of this industry.
To the question, eff there is any ten
dency towards increased use of any par
ticular structural material, please state
such facts, and, if possible, the reasons" I"
he said that the use of stone, terra Gotta,
etc., las much increased, for the rea-
sons, first, that enormous quantities of
stone and clays are accessible to, and are
easily shipped by, rail; second, that a
confidence in the future greatness of the
city warrants the erection of a superior
class of buildings.

Circular No. from Commandant Nc
Cleave, of March 4th, calls upon SER
geants of companies to furnish list OF
comrades in their companies who desire
to go Santa Monica. and to-day there has
been ninety-four applicants for transfers.
The Commandant's last report, OF jan
uary l, 1889, says: "The present mem
bership is 243. OF this number, Com
pany D, sixty-three men, are quartered in
the main building; th is building also
contains the hospital, Offices of the Medi-
cal Director and Commandant, likewise
the quarters of these officers,
besides spacious library, din
ingroom, kitchen and storerooms.
The Chabot Cottage is occupied
by Company A, 46 men and affords COM
Portable quarters. The same may be
said of the Memorial Cottage, where
Company B, 81 men, resides. In the
Old Farm Building are quartered the
members of G, numbering II. OF these
buildings only the farmhouse is fit for
occupation, the others should be razed
to make way for proper buildings.
1t is understood that there are forty ap-
plicants entitled to admission, but are
awaiting accommodation, and a number
are supported by the Association at
