SUPERINTENDENT COMMENTS
Second Week Shows a Great Increase
In Number OF Pern1lts-Tabu-
lated Statement for the
City by Wards

The office Of the Los Angeles super
intendent Of public buildings continues
to be one Of the busiest places in the
city hall. Chief Clerk Fred Snyder
does not know what a lull is in the
building department week after week,
until the noon hour each Saturday.
Then the books are closed until Mon
day, and the Office force after the
cleanup Is off for lunch and half
holiday.
The past week total Of 34e permits
were issued, calling for an outlay of
S460,552. The week of May 1, the per-
mlts aggregated 157, and the value of
Improvements were stated to be $211 ,031.
thus promising total improvements for
May amounting to over $1,300O00.
The tabulated statement given below
for the second week of May shows that
one two-story brick to cost $50,0OO was
undertaken; three one-story brick
buildings, 80 two-story frames, 100 one
story frames and As frame alterations
were commenced.
Building for Homes
j. ]. Backus. superintendent Of public
buildings, stated yesterday that appar-
emily the people of Los Angeles were
determined to build on every vacant
lot in the additions. "You notice how
we are grinding out the permits daily"
said the superintendent. II thought
perhaps there would be a let up in the
demand, but every day about the same
number is issued The home builders
appear to multiply. Evidently the
people want to get out of the rooming
houses and possess homes of their
own. 1t is a good sign. OF course
many of the dwellings, are built to be
rented, but in many cases the new
residences built to be leased are sold,
and so it goes. Los Angeles continues
to grow. Many business houses are in
course of construction, but the home
builders are the ones who appear more
frequently in quest Of permits"
Against Tall Structures
Referring to the possibility Of tall
office buildings in the business center,
superintendent BackuS said: The
present ordinance will allow only build
ings ten stories high to be erected
For my part I wish the provision did
not exceed eight stories. We do not
want to make canyons of our business
sections like they do in Chicago and
New York We have plenty of room
in Los Angeles to spread out and as
we like the sunshine we should keep
the business blocks down, so we can
feel the warmth of Old Sol and enjoy
life. I suppose if the time ever comes
when anybody wants to erect fifteen
or twenty story building In Los An
geles the present ordinance could be
amended to permit the enterprise, or a
new ordinance could be drawn up for
adoption, but I do not think that taller
buildings than a ten-story will be at
tempted here for some years to come"

THE ANIMALS OF FASHION.

Black swans and black sheep are
spectively the birds and beasts OF ex-
elusive fashion this summer. Over the
lakes and lawns Of the country places
where extensive acreage is kept under
cultivation they are lending themselves to
artistic and decorative effects. They are
useful also in providing a subject for con-
versation. as do other popular beauties.
To get together a number of black swans
is not a difficult matter. since those that
are here seen are the Australian birds. the
natural color of which Is black. Indeed.
although the metaphor OF Horace "a rare
fowl on this earth, most like to swan
that is black made the black swan a
token of the impossible for about eighteen
hundred years, 1t was early learned by
explorers to Australia that they were among
the country's most striking. and beautiful
In ha btants.
While it can hardly be said that black
swans are delicate pets. their care before
they have become thoroughly acciimated
is a little difficult. A case is known where
pair of them brought from Australia to
this country did not have any eggs until
they had been here three years Then.
following their normal habit the eggs were
laid on January /. The winter was most
severe. yet according to the calendar It
cygnets were Matched and throve Justify.
despite the intense cold.
1t Is not generally known in this country
that black swans have white wings for
nearly always they are pinoned here. and
we never see them flying. When they are
allowed this privilege their plumage shows
out as OF ebon and ivory. 1t Is. of course.
not necessary to have more than pair of
black swans TO give the cachet of smart
ness to country place, only in the event
OF an accident happening to one the other
Is left rather lonely. The custom there
fore seems to prevail to have one male
bird and two females. the latter being the
more delicate.
1t Is no particular breed OF black sheep
which, according to the height OF the mode.
are now seen nibbiing on the lawns OF
country places. These focks are composed
entirely of the proverbial black sheep. one
Of which Is said to appear In every flock OF
snow whitenesS. They have been taken one
by from their spotless companions;
sometimes for miles about the fiocks are
searched for their black members. flock
so started is not then difficult to increase.
The lambs. in compliment to both eve and
dam, are usually born black.
For their artistic effect, keeping the lawn
down. and perhaps their fiesh such a flock
of sheep is desirable. Their wool. however,
is practically valueless, 1t is incapable
sheep have it woven undyed nevertheless
into cloth. when 1t comes out rich golden
brown, suitable for making up into golf
or other sporting suits.
It is in the spring that flock of black
sheep appears most beautiful. Then they
are very black. Later the suns of midsum-
mer scorch their wool till their backs look
a rusty. reddish brown.
Mr.. Charles Darwin was theorfst con-
cerning black sheep and believed that the
appearance Of a dark colored or piebald
one in a flock was due TO reversion to the
primeval coloring Of the species.
