more than six hours to write II. j..

"0UTFALL SEWER ALL RIGHT"
Council Committee and City Engineer
Make Thorough inspection
of Work

"The outfall sewer is all right and
the reports that have been made about
the masonry caVing in and hints of
other defects in the work are absolute
ly false"
This statement was made by City
Engineer Stafford and Councilman
Harmon, member of the sewer COM
mittee, after that committee with the
city engineer and the mayor had made
an automobile trip to the outfall sewer
to examine it yesterday afternoon.
About two months ago a comunica-
tfon was sent to the council signed by
number of bricklayers and masons
stating that the specifications for the
construction of the outfall sewer were
being grossly violated and that the
city already had sacrificed $50, 900
through defects in the work and might
be expected to lose more before the
sewer was completed.
When this report was received a
member of the city engineers staff
was hastily sent to make a special in
Vestigation of the case and reported
that the specifications were being lived
up to In spirit and in letter, and that
he could find no fault with the work
To make assurance doubly sure. the
sewer committee with the mayor made

man Harmon. "There is not a sack
of cement in the store house and If
some of this material does not arrive
soon there viii be an indefinite delay
in this part of the construction.
Brick, too, is exceedingly scarce.
There are places where the masons can
work to advantage in wet weather and
they had stored a number of brick at
these places. but they have had to
draw heavily on these supplies, and
brick that is being used in the con-
struction is much better than the spe-
cifcations demand. Altogether about
siXty-five per cent of the work has
been done and it is first-class lob

Owing to the fact that city Treasurer
Workman had not been able to wiggle
his pen fast enough to write his name
1000 times, the issue of water bonds
was not awarded to E. II. Rollins &
Sons and N. w. Harris e. co. of Bos-
ton and New York at the special ses-
sion of the city council held yesterday
afternoon. An adjournment was taken
until o'clock this afternoon when It
is expected the signatures will be on
the bonds and the entire issue handed
over to the eastern capitalists.
1t is necessary that the name of the
mayor, the city clerk and the city
treasurer be signed to each of the Sc
curities, and as there are 1000 of the
$1,000 bonds and the same number of
$500 bonds this Is no small task. Mayor
McAleer and City Clerk Lelande have
signed all the bonds, but Uncle Billys'
fingers are not as nimble as they were
when he was younger and this fact de-
layed the awarding of the bond issue.

A MATCHLRSS GROUP OF CITIES

Pasadena is recognized the fairest of all the fair
sisters of Los Angeles 1t is of all the metrop
oils and properly is elegant annex. Probably there
is not another city in the United States, of approx
maely equal size, that approaches Pasadena in wealth.
And along with its wealth the accompaniments of
culture refinement and of all that distinguishes COM
munity on the highest level of human advancement
Pasadena is only an especially striking example,
however of the intellectual and material progress
shown by its sister cities of Southern California Hence
In noting the features which make the Crown of the
Valley conspicuous above all the rest should be re-
membered that compliment to the leader is compli-
ment to ALL There is only Pasadena, but there are
others among the sister cities that shine almost as
brightly. Venus is the most brilliant of the planets but
not the only beauty in the planetary group. In noting
the progress of Pasadena, in all that goes to make a.
city attractive example afforded of similar prog
in the other cities that cluster the parent
city of Los Angeles
An outlook upon the situation in Pasadena as the
Star of that city it, shows that "there is more do
ing and more in circulation than before
in the history of the city, and indication of
ward tendency" Continuing the Star notes that the
city taxes collected to date this nearly double
what they were year ago. and says:
The increase in valuation in real estate sales build
ing permits and school population all to show the
increase of population and wealth. The growth of bus-
ness IN the posofce and banks also indicates
development is substantial basis In fact mortgages
and bonding for speculation cut but little figure the
The business section kept pace with the general
growth the character of the blocks being the best
and many new stores with modern ideas have been
lished. ~ '
Along with the palatal residences and substantial
business blocks hundreds of small cottages have heen
built and significant feature is that the latter are
nearly all owned by the occupants. "
This showing for Pasadena as remarked before is
typical OF conditions in dozen of sprghtly
cities in the Los Angeles group reaching from the ocean
on the west to Redands and San Bernardlno on the
east What be said of Pasadena applies relatively
TO all of them Such another group of thrifty fasgrow.
ing prosperous and thoroughly down to date cities
and towns cannot be found elsewhere on Gods foot

RAILWAY IN NO DANGER
OF LOSING FRANCHISE
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE WILL
FILE PETITION
Plan to Bring Forfeiture Suit Against
South Park Avenue Line Meets
With Little Favor - Pigeonhole
Awaits Communication

The recommendation made by the
city attorney to the council few days
ago that the legal department be in
structed to begin proceedings for for
feiture of the street railway franchise
on San Pedro street, will be allowed
to spend the rest of its days in some
musty pigeonhole, according to the ac-
tion of the legislation committees This
committee will report to the council
Monday that the recommendation should
be received and filed.
In the opinion of the members of
the legislation committee the franchise
was granted in good faith by the city
and accepted in the same spirit by
the Los Angeles Railway company, and
that although the city might have a
perfect right to institute proceedings
for forfeiture. it would be in extremely
b. '-~Ao - 40 So
This report is an echo of the recent
troubles on South Park avenue when
... -. -,---AiCC., ucllns on the advice
of the city's legal department, had the
rails torn up and the street car SER
vice interrupted between Thirtieth
street and Slauson avenue.
Judge York, by dissolving his in
junction. practically declared that the
railway had no right to franchise
on that street, and in the opinion OF
the city attorney the entire franchise
from Pico house south on Los Angeles
street to First and on Main to Fifth
and on San Pedro to the southern city
limits was forfeited by the same act
on the part of the railway company
that, in the opinion of the court, for
feited the franchise on the southern
end.
There was no meeting of the legisla-
tion committee yesterday, but tacit
understanding was arrived at between
the members of the comittee that this
report would be made to the council

FORWOMEN
New Evenino wrsps

Short-waisted empire effects are about
all one sees in new evening coats.
says a New York correspondent One
of the most elaborae is from Berlin.
The skirt part is built of champagne
colored mousseline, laid I'm broad hor-
izontal tucks. The upper part takes
the form Of a little Jacket of heavy
crochet and valenciennes lace. The
fronts open to show a lining of salmon
colored tucked chiffon, and little
rosettes OF the same decorate the
front Of the jacket
A pretty cloak Is of cream broad
cloth, embroidered down the fronts with
narrow braid in the same color and
with clusters Of dark green grapes.
Flower Aprons
Flower aprons are a novel and at
tractive feminine conceit-being in
tended to protect milady's skirt while
she may be engaged in some house
hold occupation or dainty needle task
They are fashioned of colored linen
usually, and are stamped or designed
offhand to suggest foliage or flowers.
Detachable Flounee
one of the newest devices in the
way of lingerie ought to be widely
adopted. This is none other than
a silk founce, India or taffeta to but
ton on a white petticoat at the knee.
In the shops a few of these, with triple
pinked f1ounces are to be purchased,
but the more satisfactory ones of chif-
fon taffeta have been made to order.
One advantage of this arrangement is
GOODNESS, and the lightness which
comes of dispensing with one petit
coat The economy of the fashion is
another strong recommendation. One
may have several matching flounces
to one petticoat.
Hint to the Housewife
Every woman who buys for the
household should keep familiar with
the market prices of the food she
uses, and make 1t her business to
know that she receives the amount
and the quality she pays for. What
business man, however honest himself,
would for a moment think of pur-
chasing goods as a regular thing with
out checking them up and examining
them closely no matter how confident
he might be of the ability and in
tegrity of the firm with which he was
dealing.
No More Flannels
The days of winter f1annels have
long since passed away for the wom-
an who is devoted to fashionable
frockings. Physicians may prate of
the medicinal quality of wool and the
old-time village housewife may con-
tinue to reverence red flannel as a
winter underwrapping for her children,
but the girl or woman who wishes
to be fashonably clothed discards all
these buagling fabrics and makes lit
tie difference between the weight of
her undergarments at the different sea-
sons of the year.
Watch the Children
One of the commonest of causes for
illness are the slight digestive dis
turbances that put a child into just
the condition to take cold either from
exposure to weather or infection, and
unless d close watch is kept for the
first signs of these little upsets the
mischief is DONE How many mothers
look ut their children's tongues each
morning before sending them to school
or making the plans for the day? Very
few, but what an amount of illness
families might be spared If they did!

FACTS FOR THE HHRALDs READERS

The marvellous growth Of The Herald under its
present management is we'll illustrated in the daily
showing of its splendid advertising patronage larger
than any time in its history. But the following
figures proof positive of the giant strides this paper
has made in one year with respect to its growth in
this direction:
During October, 1904, The Herald printed 1912
inches Of Advertising During October, 1906 The Her.
printed 22st lnehes an Increase Of eo7e inches In
local advertising.
Add to this 1884 inches the amount Of city printing
in the Herald OF October 1906 and have total gain
last month the same month of last year of 1898
inches, SEVEN HUNDRED AND s1xTY.EIGHT
COLUMNS.
Last Sunday The Herald broke its own record for
one day by printing ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY
COLUMNS of legitimate paid Advertising.
The September gain of this year over August of this
year 457S inches, or 22S columns
In short The Herald now has the cream of the ad.
vertisng patronage in Los Angeles including nearly all
the department stores, the furniture houses the
clothing, millinery and suit houses the big dealers
in real estate.
The circulation of The Herald has grown corre-
spondingly with its advertising patronage year ago
The Herald was fighting for a renewal of its ancient
foohold today that foothod has been more than re.
gained, making this newspapers home circulation of
$4,000 readers in Southern California an abundant
evidence Of its prosperity and its development.
An envious and jaundiced contemporary, desperate
the fact that number leading advertisers are
quitting its yellow columns in to occupy space in
The Herald, employs much of its time in abuse and
falsehoods concerning this newspaper But the promi
nent advertisers who have investigated claims made
by The Herald have promptly signed contracts for
space increased their orders proof of the pudding
is in the eating"
The Herald has won its position in the hearts of the
Los Angeles people by honest business methods by
the publication of honest newspaper fair and clean
in the printing of news forcefu and vigorous in the
support of all good and in the denuncation of
bad These facts known and appreciated by
The Heralds friends and the public generally
And for The Heralds enemies particularly the
Hearst yellow outfit, have only to recall the Ian
guage Of the poet:
But 10! a wonder to light
That showed the rogues they lied;
The man recovered of the bite
The dog it that died"
