STORM SWEPT STREETS
Superintendent Drain Kept Busy Fix
ing up After the Rain

"This is my busy day" was plainly
written on the face of Street Superintend-
ent John H. Drain yesterday morning as
the telephone kept ringing and com
plants piled in about caved-in sewers
failing bridges and sunken streets. "Ali
things, considered, though" said Mr..
Drain, "the streets will suffer grea.
deal less than can be expected, taking
into consideration the terrible down"
pour and the fact that it was so unex-
pected at this time of the year. Had
it not been for the fact that l have had
the cutters thoroughly cleaned out in
the last month, the majority of streets,
paved or unpaved. would have been al
most impassa bic. The Aliso-stree t
bridge Is reported as having been un-
dermined by the storm, and l have al
ready sent out to have it examined. ]
-. Yes this is Mr.. Drain talking" con-
tinued the superintendent, in response t.
the telephone; "a washout at Eleventh
and Vermont? All right, sir. TN send a
man out at once" and the tired butt of
all the indignant taxpayers in the city
sank back into his chair with mingled
air of sweet resignation and intense dis
gust.

THE RAINFALL
October Starts Out With a Record
Breaking Precipitation

The clerk of the weather has been al
most too generous in his supply of
Jupiter Pluvius during the last two
days. for the register shows a total rain
fall of 10 inches before even the middle
of October has been reached. This is an
almost unprecedented showing, and is
only eclipsed by the storm of 1889, when
the bottom of the rain tank fell out and
the city received 696 inches between the
Sth and Gath of October. The average
rainfall during the past twenty Octobers
has been ~ inches, which gives this year
an increase of almost 120 per cent The
appearance at this early date of the rain
fiend is considered by Observer Frank
lin of the weather bureau to be of great
interest to his department, and he pre-
diets a money-making season for the
farmers.

Board of Public Works Postpones Its
Ride of Inspection-Tax Col
lections Coming In

In the quarterly report which Park
Supeript evident Carey presented to the
board of park commissioners at its
weekly session yesterday morning, the
most interesting item was the expendi-
ture, past, present and prospective on
Elysian park for Improvements and
working expenses. The appropriation
of $500, which was made some three
months ago, at the proportionate rate
of expenditure up to date will fall short
some $2736 unless expenses are material
" reduced or the appropriation mate
rally increased.
superintendent Carey was instruct
ed to be as conservative in his expense
account as circumstances would allow.
The report of the completiogl of the
sand bed at East Lake park was re-
ceived with some glee on the part of
Commissioner Waters, who insisted on
referring to this improvement as "Grif-
fith's babies sand patch" Commits
s,oner Griffith being the originator of
the idea. Some one thousand' flowe ng
plants have been set out in the park
aed island in the last three months, and
a number of other Improvements are
reported, al Westlake park. Eighteen
hundred feet of stone wall is among the
items and improved toilet arrangements s
also figure in the list. The report was
unayimously accepted and Superirtend-
ent Carey complimented oC the able
manner in which he had handled his
department.
Commissioner Waters reported that
in his interview with the engineer of
the Southern Pacific Railroad company
regarding the building of conduit utA-
der their track in East Los Angeles to
carry away the storm water from East
Lake park, that official had declined TO
enter into any agreement with the city
unless the latter was willing to sign.
contract wherein they would. take upon
themselves all expense islcurred should
a washout occur whereby the tracks
would be damaged. This contract Com
missioner Waters, on behalf of the city,
refused TO recognize, and negotiations
in that quarter fell through After
some comment by Commissioners Grif-
fifth and Teed on the extraordinary be-
havior of the railroad company, it was
finally moved and accepted that some
other meae1s be found of dealing with
the question, ard Superintendent Carey
was instructed to that effect. Some
washouts resulting from recent rain were
reported as entailing a slight extra eX-
pense on. the park funds, but nothing OF
any consequence had occurred.
Commissioners Teed, Carey and Grif-
fiths were appointed on committee to
obtain estimates for the raising of the
band stand in Central park and the
construction. of a toilet room under
meath. Lir1gering visions of the races
apparently presented themselves a this
point to the various members of the
board, and there being 60 further busi-
ness on hand, the meeting adjourned.
