ENGINEERS REPORT.
recommendations to be Made to the
Council Tomorrow


The City Engineer will make the fol-
lowing report to the Council tomorrow:
As per order present ordinances of
intention to construct sewers on Second
street, between Main and Los Angeles
streets; to construct sidewalks on
Twelfth street, between Main and San
Pedro, and to grade, gravel and curb
Bartlett street.
Present ordinance of intention to grade
a portion of Patrick street, west OF Han
cock street. 1t is essential to grade the
portion OF the street to carry off the
storm water from the intersection of
Patrick and Hancock streets; recon-
mend the passage of the ordinance.
Your honorable body has ordered me
to change the grade of Centennial street,
between Bellevue and Temple, so as to
make straight grade between said
streets. The grade as now established
is very near straight, and in view of the
fact that the grade was changed between
Temple and Boston in the Temple-street
ordinance, would recommend that no
change be now made. | would also
recommend that no work be done on the
block between Boston and Temple streets
until the Temple-street matter is detin-
itely settled.
On the protest of J. Bayer ct al. against
the proposed change in the grade of
Lake Shore avenue, between Figueroa
and First streets, two-thirds majority
OF the frontage is represented.
AS regards the resolution of Mr.. Ham
ilton in reference to the condition of the
intersections of Myrtle avenue, Los An
geles and Santee streets with Ninth
street, recommend that the Street Super
intendent be instructed to make the
cutters of said streets continuous across
Ninth street so as to carry off the storm
wafer

This bank is at 148 South Main street.
These four banks, none of which is
above eight years old, and one of which
has been open less than a year, have
cash on hand today amounting to nearly
quarter of million dollars. Their cap
ital stock aggregates the very respecta-
BILE sum of $205, 900, and their gross de-
posits come to over 81 100 900. Think
OF the people of this little city OF moder
ate means having over million dollars
laid up. And these depositors have the
advantage Of getting per cent interest
on their deposits, whereas depositors in
commercial banks get no interest.
There is this further advantage to the
community in savings banks, that the
money deposited in them is not locked
up. Commercial banks are obliged to
keep very large proportion of their de-
posits in a vault, as they are subject to
check. But savings banks requiring
notice before deposits can be withdrawn,
are able to loan out nearly ali the money
they have. Thus community is made
self-supporting. The money saved by
one person goes out to help an
other develop some industry of
the country One other advantage
of the savings banks is not to be forgot
ten. 1t is like Shakespeare's quality of
mercy which does a double blessing.
Thus the money saved by poor men
tends to lower the rate OF interest for
other poor men who have to borrow.
The rates of interest in this city have
been materially lessened in the past five
years through the influence of savings
banks.
The above exhibit is very gratifying
one, and one which means much for the
future of the city. These banks are all
in good hands, and the managers enjoy
the confidence of the people. By all
means may their influence for good GO
on and increase. for their prosperity is
that of all the people.

ceptive and open in its nature, and, like the
one mentioned, is capable OF receiving any
objects of an ornamental character. We can
reach the second floor by the kitchen or by
the hall stairs, and from either way we ar
rive at the same landing. On this floor are
two large front chambers, bathroom on the
farther side, two good-sized rooms on the
right and left, and in the center, which
would be over the kitchen. there is pretty
room which can be used as conservatory
or a reading room ,or even chamber. Here,
again, occurs an opportunity to use taste in
the selection of mural colors, paper, etc.
The most inexpensive and durable, as we'll
as handsome, paper is the cartridge, any
color desirable can be obtained, and what
ever of furniture there is in the room will
show off well where this paper is used.
The upper floor shows two furnished
rooms, while there is opportunity to add
two more with ample storage capacity; if
desired, billiard room could be placed on
this floor, and the daylight could be OBJ
tanned from the open balcony.
One OF the most important features of this
house, and one which is rarely considered, is
the splendid circulation of air which is OBJ
tainable, it being so open in every part;
your chamber is no longer single room, for
at night you breathe the atmosphere of the
whole house. The temperature may be
kept even in every room, and if you have
several children there can be no danger of
Group or colds of any kind. Then, too, the
demand on your furnace is reduced, on ac-
count of the fact that there is an even space
to warm, and that the pressure of air is out
ward and not inward.
Much might be said of the furniture, but
as everything is to be up to the styles shown
in cuts and 4, and must be in keeping with
the other fixtures, it is selfevident that there
can be no falling off In this particular. The
same may be said of the draperies and orna-
ments, of course taste in the selection must
be exercised, and this speciality is really
part of the scheme to make the result show
more than the moneys worth.
For $1,000 one can absolutely own land,
house and furniture, and there will not be
shown one neglected spot from the walks to
the last detail of utility or adornment For
this amount the supervision, selection of
material, fitting up" indeed, the whole
business can be transacted, so that at given
time the owner and family may step into the
house and commence living the day they
enter in, and they will be saved the wear
and tear of their vitality, which will really
more than balance the commission of the
artist architect.
