THE CITVS WATER SUPPLY
Tie Los Angeles City Water
Company.
Its Officers Whose Interests Are
Identical With the City.
Tho Early History OF the Corporation.
It's Progress and Capital Stock
and General Output OF
Water.

This corporation WAS organized in Au-
gust, 1868, for the purpose of supplying
the inhabitants of this city, which was
then very small town, with water for
domestic uses and such other needs aa
the city required. Since the incorpora-
tion of the company the city has made
wonderful progress in the extension OF
streets and area, and naturally the
water company has been forced to keep
apace with that progress. This has re-
suited in the company's making i'm
provements and additions to their orig
inal plans until today it owns and con-
trolls one of the most complete and per
iect water systems OF any city in
America.
The capital stock of the company is
81, ,240, 900, whchis continuously sought
after by investors owing to the safety
fapd surety of manner with which It's
officers have conducted the affairs. but
the stock ia rarely to be found on the
market.
The present supply OF water is taken
from the company's water bearing
lands several miles north OF the city.
These lands, while not forming cien'
ega, have an inexhaustible sub-flow OF
water, which is tapped by an elaborate
system of bleeding pipes laid in all
directions through the lands. These
pipes are laid with loose joints, packed
about with broken rock and gravel,
thus allowing the water to percolate
through and enter the pipes along the
line. Several miles Of these pipes
form ganglion, the output being about
ten million gallons day OF pure spring
water.
The mains lead to an inlet tower,
from which the water is conducted in
large conduits and tunnels to the dis
tributing reservoir in the city.
This company has now about II, 600
service connections, and supplies about
four-ffths of all the water used for do
mestic purposes, the remaining one
fifth being supplied by another COM
pany.
The interests of the company and the
city which it supplies are almost iden-
tical. Both the city and the company
have been prosperous, the progressive
nees of the company having determined
to great extent the prosperity OF the
citv.
If we measure the future by the past,
we have to contemplate in this company
an association not excelled in import
ance by any on the Pacific coast.
The officers of the company are all in
cluded among the most solid and con-
servative fnanciers and business men of
Southern California. They are as fol-
lows:
W. H. Perry, president: W. ]. Brod-
rick, vice-president; l. w. Hellman,
treasurer; S. II. Mott, secretary; S. B..
Caswell, auditor.

Where Music and Pure UuaduIterated
Native Beverage go Hand I'm Hand.
1t is grossly unfair to say that all
drink is immoral. Lager beer and
whiskey cannot be classed together. The
human body is better for cool draught
OF beer, but let the lager be pure and
wholesome, then instead of drawn hag-
gard faces We would have faces on which
cheerfulness and contentment would
prevail. This is what F. Kerkow. pro-
prietor OF the New Vienna Buffet, be-
lieveH in and practices, az he is the only
dealer in Lemp's Brewing company's st.
Louis draught and bottled beer in Los
angeles. By comparison there is no
other Tree house of pure and undefled
entertainment on the Pacific coast which
can be placed on par with the
New Vienna Buffet. Its music

who have seen will easily forget. OF ito
kinds it is gem. A cascade of music

THE NADEAu HOTEL.
A Los Angeles Unique and Jncompara-

bic Hosteiry.
Los Angeles is certainly original when
the subject OF hostelries ie mentioned,
and the tourist finds pure and ample
originality in all he sees in the Nadeau,
hotel which cnnnot be compared for
uniqueness and excellence anywhere
else on the Pacific coast. The Nadeau
has always been the best and it's patrons
are certainly very select. 1t has been
enlarged by an addition OF so rooms,
which have been furnished in new and
elegant style, the plumbing throughout
the entire house has also been renewed
with the latest improved rolled iron
porcelain bath tubs. and further i'm
pIovements are anticipated, with the
addition OF spacious reading and walt
ing rooms for the benefit OF it's patrons.
The large and spacious parlors have
all been newly decorated and furnished,
the total cost of improvements being
over $20, 900. One OF the most attractive
features of the hotel is it's wide and
roomy halls, which throughout the en-
tire house are lighted from the roof,
giving the hotel very cheerful appear
ance. 1t required over 1900 yards of the
finest velvet and moquette carpet to
cover these halls, which gives only
slight idea of their size. The proprietor,
Horace w. Chase, is a Bangor. Me-.
man, who thoroughly understands his
business, and he hae made nice little
fortune in it, joined by careful atten-
ton to the comfort OF all who come
under his roof.

UNION OIL COMPANY.

The Great Producers or Natural GALL
fornia Fuel.
One of the largest and most successful
plants in Southern California is the
Union Oil company OF California, of
which Thomas E. Bard OF Hueneme,
CAL, is president and Lyman Stewart Of
Los Angeles is vice president.
In November, 1890. ths Union Oil
company succeeded to the DEAFNESS and
properties OF the Hardison & Stewart,
the Sespe and the TORY Canon Oil COM
panies and the Mission Transfer COM
panv.
It holds about 10000 acres OF oil lands
in California. From these lands there
have been taken out over SO, 600, 600 gall
Ions of oil, and only the edges OF this
territory have thue far been touched.
The company's plant account shows
an investment of over 81 ,250, ,060, con-
sisting OF about 100 miles of pipe lines.
52 oil cars, oil storage tanks, having q
capacity of about 1000, 600 gallons, an
oil refinery, machine and boiler shops,
etc.
The company usually carries stock
of from 100000 to 100000 gallons of
crude oil, its policy being to protect its
fuel customers against the possibility of
failure of supply.
The demand for oil for fuel purposes Is
largely increasing, and since the introduce
tion OF the aerated system, is becoming
very popular, being not only more eco
nomical than coal or wood, but safer,
cleaner and more convenient. As an
evidence of the favor in which this sys-
tenn is held, it is stated that no person

The company is manufacturing com.
plete line of lubricating oils and COM
pounds, such as cylinder oils, a pure
mineral oil, and variety OF engine oils,
castor machine oil, sewing machine and
bicycle oils and axle greases. 1t also
manufactures paint oils and linolith for
painting inks, and makes treated dis
tillate which is much more economical
than gasoline for running vapor engines
1t also manufactures fine line OF re-
fined asphalts. 1t is the only company
On tho coast that makes really refined
asphalt. This is largely used for dipping
iron and steel pipe, for coating CORFU
gated iron, for roofing purposes, and for
