THE YEAR WIS GOOD FOR LOS ANGELES|

On this subject the city plumbing in
spector. e. l.. Burgoin, in his annual re-
port says:
1T is an open question whether or not
there Is another locality in the world
with more nearly perfect drainage and
plumbing conditions. The city of Los
Angeles Is situated at an elevation O.
about $50 feet above sea level and only
about eighteen miles from the ocean,
thus the natural fall Is sufficient to rap
idly and effecutally carry away the sew
age.
THE climatic conditions are such that
the freezing of pipes and loosening OF
joints from expansion by heat is prac-
tically unknown. For this reason iron
pipes instead of lead can, with equally
good results, be used. The sunshine
which prevails over 800 days in the year
contributes to the purifying of the at
mosphere surrounding these conduits
for waste
The recently constructed outfau sewer
which was built at cost of about $400,
900 gives direct outlet to the ocean OF
all sewage. The cost of plumbing and
sewer connection Is so much reduced by
the use of iron instead of lead pipes
that 1t is possible for those of the most
moderate means to fulfill all the plumb.
Ing and sanitary requirements.
There are in use now about $50 miles
Of main sewer and nearly 100 miles oil
side connections"

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
An Institution That Does Much for the
Country

An institution in which Los Angeles
city and county take great and justifi-
able pride and from which other South
ern California counties derive much
benefit, is the chamber of commerce, To-
Gated in large building erected es-
pecially for this perpetual free exposi-
ton on the corner of Broadway and
Fourth streets. In this unique exposi-
tion, which, though absolutely free to
visitors, contains attractions worth A
reasonable admission fee, is unique
sPa saRalsts asRa G ths
horticulture, noracultura1, mineral
with specimens of the manufactures
Not the least attraction is the collection
of Indian relies, antiquities and other
curious things, making valuable
museum, worthy the attention of the
student of past ages and peoples.
The diversity of the display commands
and retains the interest of the visitor,
whether his special weakness is for big
pumpkins or stone utensils of pre-his-
toric races. Each county and the prin-
cipal cities and towns have displays of
their products, replenished often enough
to keep them fresh Vegetables, large
and small; fruits, fresh from the tree
or preserved in crystal jars nIts and
flowers, wines and honey all things that
comprise the treasures of this glorious
sun land. FOR artistic erect and to ex-
cite the admiration of the strangers, the
mammoth elephant of English walnuts,
the monstrous ear of corn the great
bottle Of wine, made of hundreds of
smaller bottles, and other unique and
striking objects are found suitably
placed in the great exhibit room. Sec

their income from eastern sources and

Among the great number OF dwelling
houses erected In the past year were
many whose cost could be represented
only by five figures, but the smaller
houses were almost legion. All sections
have been favored by this growth, more
especially the southwestern and hill
regions, where are groups of 1896 houses
that of themselves seem like hft1e cit
les. There has been no unhealthy boom
speculation In the building of these
houses, as may be easily seen by the
careful observer, for few of the dwellings
are without occupants.

CITY STREETS.
Extensive Improvements Made in Ur-
ban Thoroughfares.

The years work on the city streets is
plainly in evidence to every one who
either walks or runs. drives or ''scorch-
es." The aggregate cost of the
improvements has not been prodigious.
but the money has been so we'll expend-
ed that there are now miles of new
paved and graveled streets where were
but indifferent thoroughfares before.
Los Angeles has for years been able to
justly boast of her many miles of paved
streets, and the possessions have been
greatly augmented in the year Just
past. The chief Improvement in this
respect is undoubtedly the changing of
Main street from Ninth to Thirty sew
enth street from roadway of hillocks
and chuck holes to magnificent as
phalt-covered thoroughfare with sur
face as even as dancing floor, and laid
upon a substratum of concrete that
should last forever. The contract for
this was the largest ever let for street
work in Los Angeles the two miles cost
ing $1S3,535. Other smaller but just as
welcome improvements have been made
in other portions Of the city, either with
asphalt or gravel.
According to the annual report of
Street Superintendent p. A. Howard the
street work done during the year under
the bond act Of February q. 1898, amount
ed to $1S3,493 and under the bond act of
March 49, 1885, to $329,574 In addition
to this there are nineteen contracts still
in course of completion at the time the
superintendent's report was made, De-
cember i. The Main street i'm
provemeut is not included in the above
figures. The department repaired dur
ing the year 44.136 lineal feet of asphalt
paving. The expenses of the street su-
perintendent's department for the year
was $56, ,79S.
The herald., 1897-01-03

Let us tentatively admit that the Sec
ond street park oil field at Los Angeles,
as far as developments have shown, de-
rives its oil from a stratum of sand carry
ing about 10 per cent of oil; that the said
stratum is about forty feet thick and has
an area Of about 100000 square feet.
Such stratum would contain in round
figures about 2,S50,000 barrels of oil. A
careful canvass of all the oil producers
of Los Angeles shows that last year the
Los Angeles oil field produced 729,695
barrels of OIL about one-fourth of our
theoretical total contents Of the sand,
and no inconsiderable amount was pro-
duced in 1894. How much of the remain
ing 100000 barrels of oil can be OBJ
tanned by pumping? There do not ap-
pear to be many factors on which to
base an estimate. We must bear in
mind that the oil is heavy oil; that the
gas pressure in the Los Angeles wells
was never great. Therefore the proba-
bilities are that even after q we'll has
ceased to yield enough oil to pay for
pumping every day, providing the wells
do not become filled with water or choked
with sand, small quantities of oil might
be pumped from them for quite a long
period. Moreover, although there Is
such forest of derricks at Second street
park, they are by no means uniformly
distributed over the 1000, 900 square feet
which we, by the way of rough esti-
mate, put down as oil sand In March,
1896, there were $50 wells in this oil field
and these wells vary from $50 feet to
more than 1000 feet in depth. Allowing
to each we'll say 5000 feet, as they are
now distributed it would seem that
there must be more oil land in the area
we calculated yet to be heard from.
A review Of the situation leads to the
conclusion that the best results will be
obtained by following the strike Of the
productive oil yielding formation, rather
than by sporadic prospecting. "
In view of the fact that the direction
of the strike and the angle of the dip are
somewhat irregular, the safest mode of
procedure is to progress gradually and
not make too long jumps

OIL PRODUCTION.
An Industry That Has Reduced the Price
of Fuel

One of the most important events In
the history of Los Angeles has been the
discovery and development Of a large
body of petroleum within the city limits,
about a mile from the business center.
There are already about 400 wells, which
yield in the neighborhood of 1900 to 2OOO
barrels a day. The oil found thus far
is different from that found in Pennsyl-
vania. having for base asphaltum in
stead of parafiine, and consequently not
being adapted for Illuminating purposes;
but it is excellent oil for fuel purposes,
also for lubricating and the manufac-
ture Of printing inks and otherby- prod
ucts of petroleum Pipe lines conduct
the product from the wells to points in
the lower part of the city, where the
oil is first run into huge tanks and is
later distributed by railroad tank cars
and other means to places where it is
to be consumed. A number of large
shipments of oil have been made by
tank steamer to San Francisco, an ex-
pertinent that resulted in opening up
new and large market.
AS the production does not ow exceed
the demand of the southern country no
extensive shipments are at present be-
ing made to the north.
In regard to the pessimistic theories
that prevail in certain circles regarding
the permanancy of the subterranean
supply of petroleum, W. L. Watts, as
sistant state mineralogist, who has
made study of the Los Angeles oil field.
and was always more conservative than
enthusiastic, says in a recent article
printed in the Land of Sunshine:
The operators in the Los Angeles oil
field state that the main stratum of oil
sand is from 100 to $50 feet thick, but
that as rule tits not productive all the
way through. Comparing the opinions
of well-drillers it appears to be the gen
eral opinion that on an average at least
forty feet Of oil sand may be put down

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
No Expensive Conflagration Has Yet
Occurred Here.

That the city has suffered so little
from the devouring element during the
year may be owing as much to good
luck as to a good fire department, but
the fact is a settled one that the loss
by fire has been light compared with
many other cities of the same size. In
the annual report to the board of fire
commissioners to the city council it
is shown that during the twelve months
ending November 30, 1896, there were
1923 alarms from all causes, and the total
Toss reported for the same period was
$203,S01. In both items there was a
large increase over the year before,
when there were 152 alarms and $104, 900
loss. The loss by fire I'M 1895 was more
than equaled by THAT of one month of
1896, October, when $104,291 worth of
property was burned. No explanation
of the increase is given, and it must be
passed as one of the mysteries
There have been during the year a
number of notable instances when the
efficiency of the department was shown,
and Cneil Engineer W. S. Moore has
made number of recommendations de-
signed to bring about much improve
ment. One of these recommendations
is that the force of call men be made
permanent firemen which, while it
would add considerably to the salary
expense, would, he says, ensure better
service. The salaries now of the per-
,napent force and call men amount to
q total of 1000 year. The total ex-
pense of keeping up the department for
the year, including salaries and rents
for engine houses, was $SS,81i75.
The apparatus of the fire department
includes steam fire engines, 2 Champion
double 50-gallon chemical engines,
Champion combination hose wagons
and chemical engine of 60 gallons ca
pacity, hose wagons with portable
eXtinguishers, 7 hose carts, second
class hook and ladder truck, with extern

hose 21a inch; $50 fest rubber hose, 21s
