Streets Now Poor


The chief objection to this section is
that It allows light gravity oil to be
used in the finishing of the top of the
street. The members of the board be-
lleve that in all street specifications a
heavy oil should be required, the heav-
Ter the better. The California oil which
is used has an asphaltum base. and
when a liberal quantity of heavy grade
oil is used the resulting pavement is
nearly equal TO asphalt.
City Engineer Stafford said: 81 am
strongly in favor of abolishing speci-
of specification 16 so that much
heavier grade of oil will be necessary
Too many streets are being built un-
der specification II with the natural
soil. These streets are not satisfa ctory
in a great many cases and usually do
not wear we'll, and storm water dam
ages them heavily; then the city has to
repair damage"
The board was unanimously of the
opinion that these specifications should
be changed and declared it's intention
of bringing the subject before the
council in the near future. Notice of
the change will be given in advance.
and it is expected that the proposition
will meet with determined opposition
from some of the real estate interests
and from the contractors. From ex-
pressions on the part of many of the
councilmen it would appear that the
entire council favors such a change in
the street construction law.

Proposition TO Use a Better Grade
OF OIL viii BE introduced Into
Council at an Early
Session

Better streets is the motto adopted
by the members of the board of public
works and they hint that interesting
developments may soon be made In the
council chamber. They declare many
Of the streets graded under the present
law on the subject are not satisfactory
1t is claimed that they are unfit for
heavy traffic and that storm water
causes great expense to the city for
repairs.
The board is seriously considering
asking the council to repeal that Sec
tion of the law regarding the construc-
tion of streets in Los Angeles known
as specification II and TO amend speci-
f1catlon 16.
At the last meeting of the board sew
eral petitions praying permission to
grade certain streets under section II
were held up, but definite action re-
garding the repeal of the section was
not taken.
The specification in question permits
the improvement of streets with the
natural soil of the street with a little
light grade oil added. great many
of the new subdivisions where the lots
sell at a low price have been so inn
proved, as have many streets laid out
in past years but not graded. The
board believes such streets are not
satisfactory and expressed the opinion
that it would be wise to abolish the
specification and thus get a better
grade of streets.
Specification 16 governs graveled
streets and is considered by the board
q good measure, with the exception of
a few minor points.

The Forthcoming report of the committee social

tains much information the composition Of the
families coming under the of the society
This committee was appointed last January, and
makes its report the work done up to September
90 In ALL there 1,527 families included in the
records and the studies The committee says that
it hopes next year to increase the scope Of its
work and to add much valuable sociological infor-
nation to its report. It has discovered that not
only the very rich, but the very poor addicted
TO the habit Of not having children in their fam
flies To have ten children is distinctly bad form
Only one family Of the 1927 concerned had the
temerity to do this and such the feeling Of
shame that none of them had been allowed to grow
to maturity. all being less than twenty-one years
old
The committee found there was something pop
ular about three children and multiples of that
number For example, I ough only family
dared to be guilty of ten children 2 acknowledged
to three, an larger number than have no chill
dren, for only 267 entirely childless. Ninety

by six with remainder of two. and six is just two
times three. There is something peculiarly puzZling
about this Ten typical families of the middle class
have forty mine children. Two times forty-nine are
ninety-eight and pinety-eight is exact multiple
of six with remainder Of two and two times three
six.
Here the mystical number is doubled, and there
also enters the factor of two. Added signifi-
canoe Is given to this by the fact that the same
number of families have two children as have none

having this number OF children is 22 the figure two

three and two and the of the numbers is six.
When the number two Is used multiplier three
times and the number OF children is eight there is
a mysterious change in the effect of the combina-
dren is thirteen. There is nothing in the report to
offer any explanation of this. but the solution has
been suggested that 1t is due TO the influence OF
five families in which there was never any mar
riage ceremony. This should not be accepted as
positive, however. until the reports of three years
can be compared twice and analyZed.

Pennsylvania if she asked for game. Speaking
Of the reported interview, Dillon said tonight;
I have not been in Philadelphia recently, and,
Furthermore, was not in attendance at the Pen
and Pencil Club dinner on Thursday night where
my action graphically set forth. To Iay
knowledge Pennsylvania and Princeton are not any
nearer arranging football game for 1905 than
they were last year. In fact, the matter has not
been discussed among the authorities here.
Philadelphia, Dec. 9--The story sent out from
Philadelphia last night that Captain Dillon Of the
Princeton football team had declared at dinner
Of the Pen and Pencil Club that Princeton would
willingly arrange game next season with PenRsyl
vania, provided the latter would make the request
has proven to be untrue. a Philadelphia man named
Dillon was called upon for speech and was jok,
iDgly introduced Captain Dillon, of Princeton.
He kept UP the farce and made speech holding
out the olive branch to Pennsylvania To further
the Joke is said, Captain Stevenson, Of PennsyI-
vania responded, accepting the truce Strange TO
say, the neWspapermen present did not tumble,
and the story was sent broadcast
