ton recorded at this office" said Clerk

county clerks office and file petition
of adoption before you can legally adopt
the young woman"
''I don't care whether it is legal or
not" said the wouldbefather 81

MAYOR SIGNS OWENS
RIVER BOND ORDINANCE
Work of Engrossng Plates viii Be
Rushed-Bids to Be Opened
November

Mayor McAleer lost no time in sign
ing the new water ordinance when he
reached his office yesterday morning,
and the ordinance is now law. The
work of engraving the plates for bonds
is being rushed and the securities soon
will be in the hands of the city for sale
to the highest bidders. Bids will be
opened November 1, which comes on
Wednesday, and an adjourned meeting
of the city council will be held on that
date in order that the bonds may be
awarded.
Since the city has placed itself on the
market for water bearing lands there
have been more offers of land made to
the water department than would be
necessary for city of ten times the
population of Los Angeles. Scarcely a
day passes that Superintendent Null
holland does not receive an offer of land
in the Owens river valley.

FINDS NO IMPURITIES
IN DISTILLED WATERS
City Chemist Says Some Spring Water
Contains More Impurities Than
Does City Water

The telephone in the health depart
ment of the city hall has been kept
busy during the last few days by anx-
ious inquirers who are eager to know
the results of City Chemist Miller's
analysis of the drinking waters sold in
Los Angeles.
A large number of Los Angeles resi-
dents depend entirely on these waters,
and the report recently issued from the
chemists office that some of these con-
tained more alkali than the city water
is responsible for the inquiries.
This statement is true of a number
of the waters sold as spring water,'"
says Mr.. Miller, but 1 am not concern
ing myself with the distilled waters.
There can be no impurities in distilled
water unless they should be added
after the process of distillation, and I
have found no evidence of this in the
distilled waters sold in this CITY,"

CRIB DISTRICT
IS NOT FAVORED
COMMISSIONERS OPPOSED TO
THE PLAN
DENY THEY HAVE AUTHORITY
Action on Appointment Of Chief Of
Police Postponed Because of
Failure to Secure
Quorum
Quorum

Through failure to secure a quorum
for the meeting of the police commits
sion yesterday morning, action on the
appointment of a chief of police was
again delayed.
1t Is improbable that this office will
be filled for several weeks yet, as
Commissioner johnson is out of the
city on an extended trip and at the
meeting of the commission last week
the petition of ex-Chief Glass for re-
appointment was filed for consideration
by the committee of the whole. This
will necessitate a full attendance of the
commission to consider the petition.
The report recently circulated to the
effect that the police commission will
take some action toward the estab-
lishment of "crib" district in which
the denizens of the red-light district
may be placed, are without foundation,
say city officials, as the police cominis-
sion nor any other body can take any
official action on such a proposition.
The mayor has announced himself as
favoring crib district to be regu-
lated by the police and asserts that this
is the only way to handle the evil.
Assistant City Attorney Goudge said
yesterday:
THE city cannot organize crib
district or anything of similar ma
ture No body of officials has the legal
authority to set apart a certain section
of the city and declare that vice may
flourish there. In order to do so, it
would be necessary to refer it to a vote
of the people and such a proposition
would be defeated by an overwhelming
majority"

LACK Of CEMENT
DELAYS CONTRACT
SEWER CONSTRUCTION WORK
HINDERED
STORAGE SUPPLY GIVES OUT
breakdown in Machinery of Factory
Causes Suspension of Progress
in improvements Being
Made by City

Cement contracts in which the city
is interested are rapidly reaching the
stage where work on them will be in
definitely delayed by lack of material
Work has been stopped on four sections
of the storm drain because of short
age of cement, and 1t probably Will be
only a question of a short time when
the force Of men employed on the new
outfal sewer will take an enforced
vacation.
This state of affairs is occasioned
by the breaking of machinery in the
cement works at Napa Junction. The
city has contracts for 1000 barrels of ce-
ment a month and during the last few
months has been using 5000 and 1000
barrels. The cement works has notified
the contractors that no more cement
can be delivered until the machinery
is repaired, and this may be matter
of weeks.
Meanwhile the work on the new
storm drain is being delayed and Nov
ember is rapidly approaching, when
Rainmaker Hatfield will get busy. The
work on the outfall sewer is being car
ried on with cement that has been
kept in storage at Inglewood for just
such an emergency, but during the
last few weeks this store has been
drawn on heavily and there is little
hope that it will hold out until the
Napa Junction cement works is able to
again turn out the material.
Not only is the city work being de-
layed, but private contracts for walks,
curbs and similar improvements cannot
be completed until material arrives.
The great amount of building in Los
Angeles is chiefly responsible for this
condition of affairs. The big cement
works has been compelled to draw on
its reserve to supply the demand until
all material in storage has been ex-
hausted.

GETS HIS LICENSE BUT
is TOO BUSY TO MARRY
Title Reporter Meets the Girl of His
Choice on the Street-Wedding
Will Follow

Two days of wooing, hasty proposal,
a demure acceptance and one of the
prettiest romances of the year cul-
minated yesterday when Charles O..
Greenwood, reporter of the Giles Title
company appeared at the office of
Cupid Watson of the marriage license
department and asked for a marriage
license.
The license was issued to Greenwood
and Miss Annie Pike of Salt Lake City
Following the issuance of the license
Greenwood told his sweetheart good
by and calmly resumed the work which
he had interrupted for the few mo-
ments required to secure license.
This is the busiest day Of my life"
said the reporter as he copied incor-
porations and kept mixing up the name
of "Annie" with the various names of
the subscribers on the Incorporating
list.
''I haven't time to take day off and
1 want to get married, so I have to
take chances. 1 knew Miss Pike very
well when I lived in Salt Lake City
some time ago. Yes, L knew her very
well and 1 didn't much like the idea OF
coming so far away. She was one of
the most prominent newspaper women
of that city and up until about a week
ago was on the editorial staff of the
Salt Lake Tribune.
"She came to Los Angeles two days
ago and by accident / met her on the
street. asked her what she was doing
here and she said she was about to go
on one of the local papers, and I said
she was destined for a different fate,
and I proposed. Well. she accepted and
I guess we will get married.
"When? Oh, don't know. Not this
afternoon, but just as soon as I can
leave my work long enough for the
ceremony we will complete our little
romance"
