the increase OF operations over those re-
ported last week is greater than was en-
pected, Judging on the basis OF former
years. The tourist is here in fairly large
numbers, and preparations are ample to
house good many more of him. 1t usually
requires three or four months residence
here to induce him to settle down to the
idea that he will stay in Los Angeles, and
as a consequence building operations on
his part are not likely 10 assume large pro-
portions until tue beginning of summer.
According TO indications the coming sea-
son will be a particularly lively one, not
| only in Los Angeles but in the surrounding
| country.
