Los Angeles herald., 1892-03-19
ANOTHER HEIR WANTED.
This One Is Quite English, Yor
Know.

The fame of the HERALD as re-
coverer of missing heirs is going out
into all lands; and the fame OF Southern
California as desirable place in
which to wait for an inheritance must
be likewise becoming generally diffused.
Not that this is to be wondered at, by
the way, for why should not missing
heirs appreciate this glorious climate
and the other attractions Los Angeles
has to offer, as we'll as the heirs OF for
tune who are not missing, and who so
constantly come to make their homes
here?
There are at least two missing heirs
in this vicinity and two London lawyers
looking for them. The latest wanted
man is Richard Croasdaile, who it ap-
pears came to Los Angeles toward the
close of 1887, and has not been heard of
since.
This heir seems to have had no suffi-
cient reason for concealing himself, and
yet his relatives are convinced that he is
still living. He was the son of an Irish
landed proprietor who has since died,
and there is money waiting for the
absent one (e20, ,000) as we'll as mother
very anxious to welcome him home.
lie was on excellent terms with his
relatives and the only reason that can
be suggested for his cutting off commu-
nication with them is that he was
chagrined at an investment which he
made having tuned out ill. Ii he knew
how many other people suffered from
the same complaint about the same
time, he perhaps would not take his
i'll success 80 much to heart.
He was working as mining engineer
in the neighborhood OF Salt Lake City
before he came to this city and he
wrote back to friend in Utah, but he
never wrote home after he came to Cal
lfornia. 1t is not impossible that he
changed his name. He seems to have
been steady young man. Mr.. LEROY
is the lawyer who is looking for the
missing heir. Mr.. LEROY is an English
barrister who has lately come to make
his home in this city.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-03-19
LETTER BAG.
The Macy Street Bridge.


EDITORS HERALD: That the gentle
men composing the honorable body of
our city council are men of more than
common mother-wit, is not to be gain
said, but whether any one Of them could
give one really sound, logical reason for
removing the roof from the Macy street
bridge, is question that can be an
swered by word OF two letters-no.
There is scarcely room for a doubt, not
withstanding the action taken by this
honorable body at their last meeting in
the matter of removing said roof, that
if it was put to vote tomorrow by the
taxpayers, that nine-tenths OF them
would vote to let the roof over the
splendid old structure remain as it is.
There are many good reasons why
this roof should not be removed. One
is that the bridges main floor has
been made new only once in twenty
years, whereas several of the open
bridges have had to be refoored num-
bea of times in much less than twenty
years, owing to their exposure to rain
and sunshine. And these floors make
quite an item in depicting the city's
Golfers. Another reason is that
the preservation and safety OF
the entire superstructure of the
bridge requires it to be protected from
the elements. And very material
reason why its roof should not be re-
moved is that it tends in great meas
ure to prevent the oscillatory motion of
the bridge which it will otherwise have
in case the roof is removed; and those
wide spans OF $50 feet each will GER
tainly be made dangerous by the rapid
driving which is done every day by
teams passing. At the last ses-
sion of the council the member
from the First ward stated "that
there was not an engineer in the
CITY who would say that the roof added
to the strength of the covered bridge.
1t only added weight" There are men
in this city and elsewhere who are
called engineers, but who know but
little of bridge construction. The build
ers of this bridge we'll knew what they
intended its roof for. 1t was not intend
ed to support the bridge in its bearing
capacity, but to protect its materials
from decay by the action of the ele-
ments, and to assist in preventing the
vibratory motion, which will be its
wreck when the roof is removed.
The weight of the roof is mere nom-
parison with the BRIDGES strength.
Lastly, am informed that the con-
tractor for this job is to pay the city the
enormous sum of $11.50 for the privilege
of destroying the city property, and in
return would get from $3.50 to 5000
worth of lumber; and any two active
carpenters can strip the whole roof in
less than three days. THAT is little
too much pork for shilling, Mr..
