ENLARGES ITS
SALESROOMS
Georae j. BirkeI Piano Company Leases
the Three Upper Floors of Building
Adjoining Its Present Quarters.

Evidences of substantial expansion and
genuine increase in trade are shown as much
from the enlargement of the facilities of
mercantile establishments already in busi-
ness as from the transfers of unimproved
lots or the erection of new business build
ings. The piano establishment of the George
]. Birkel company, which occupies the five
story building at SH South Spring street,
recently has secured lease for ten years
of the three upper stories of the building
to the north and will spend about $4,000 in
remodeling and refitting the front of the
building and the upper stories of the joint
block SO as to make them available for the
use of the company. By this arrangement
each make of piano will have its own paror.
A special room also will be provided for
orchestrions and special parlor will be set
aside for the use of the Victor talking ma
chimes that will be part of the musical
equipment of the new and enlarged quarters
of the company.

CONTROL OE WATER PLANT WORK

The power of the new board of public works will be
enlarged greatly by the Owens valley water project
The board will have in fact fundamental control of the
whole work construction The law provides, generally,
that the legislative branch of every city and town shall
have control of public improvements but with this eX-
ception Provided however, that in Cities towns or
municipalities operating under charter heretofore or
hereafter framed under section of article X of the
constitution and having board of public works, all
the matters and things required in this section to be
done and performed by the legislative branch OF the
municipality shall done and performed by the board
of public works of such city, town municipality"
Provision was made in the election last year by the
adoption of charter amendment for the creation OF
board of public works in this CITY, The new plan will
not be effective, however, until next January l. The
Importance of the provision before the greater
water project broached led to snar on the issue
of appointment of members to serve on the board Inc
mayor has the appointing power, but the council has
"the whip hand" when it to confirming the ap-
pointments.
In view of the exigency resulting from the big water
proposition it is probable that the snarl concern
ing the makeup of the board of public works will be
allowed to interfere with the installation of the new
board at the beginning Of next year. The city attor-
ney has expressed the opinion that 'the council and
department heads affected will continue to exercise their
present prerogatives until the board of public works
is organized" Therefore, failure of the mayor to nom
mate members of the board satisfactory to the council
might practically block the whole scheme of public
works board.
All officials and citizens so elated now over the
success of the project that is safe to say no
ipedimen will be allowed to interfere that might mill
tate against the prosecution of the work.

AS to Rainfall

One of your correspondents objects
to the accuracy of my statement that
the highest rainfall we have had in the
Los Angeles valley falls slightly short
of forty inches, viz, 1913. He says
that I have claimed at some time or
other as high as fifty-three inches in
a single season. have no recollection
of having done so. My figures are
based on those furnished by the United
States signal service station here. The
seasons of greatest rainfall ever re-
corded in Los Angeles were those Of
1SS3-S4 and 1SS9-9O, that is to say, re-
spectively, 3S.13 and 34.3S inches.
OF course, in speculating on the
probable amount of rainfall, there Is
a great deal of comedy; but, in my
judgment. we have reached a very in
teresting stage of meteorological his
tory. The next few years will. settle
what our normal rainfall really is. We
need sixty inches to establish our
standard If the rainfall from the sea-
son 1s76-77 to 1912 was our real aver
age. The late Mr.. Ducommun kept a
very careful record of the weather,
which somewhat antedatees that OF

THE Earl and the Girl" In which
Eddie Foy is appearing at the Casino,
New York, seems to have set a new
standard in the matter Of novelties in
theatrical effects. "a trick show" is
what "The World' called the piece, and
apparently with justification, since the
ingenuity of a dozen stage managers
must have been exhausted in contriying

entitled 81 Would Like to Marry You"

While all this talk about reforming
the consular service is going on the ques-
tion of some reform Of the manner in
which Congress treats the censuls might
also be considered, says the Newark
sDaiIy Advertiser" 1t is reported from
Washington that many of the American
eonsnls abroad have been for some
months under the necessity Of paying
their own Office rent, in some cases a
heavy tax on their meagre salaries.
In explanation it is said that the con
dition of affairs is the result of the ex-
hausting Of the apportionnient Of 10000
for the extraordinary expenses Of the
State Department and the legislation of
the last Congress. forbidding an execu-
tive officer incurring any deficiency in ap-
preparations Formerly it was the prac-
tice to supply any deficiencies In consul
lates rents from this fund. In view of
the present emergency it is proposed to
ask for an appropriation Of 100000 FOR
the extraordinary expense account this
year. but doubt IS expressed that any
provision can be made to reimburse the
consuls now paying their own rent.
This is a situation of which Congress
ought to be ashamed An appropriation
| that is too small to pay the rent of all
the consular offices is inexcusable. The
pay Of most Of the consuls Is not at all
| liberal; in many cases it is quite the con
trary; It is niggardly. There should be
no deficiency, of course, but before that
there should be no such parsimony in
dealing with the CONSULAR service as
either to make deficiency inevitable OF
to compel the consuls themselves to pay
their office rent.
