EAST FIRST Gets
ASPHALT SURFACE
Main Travelled Road to Boyle Heig hts
Will Be Made Model High
way from River Bridge
Eastward

Nine-tenths of the property owners
along East First street have signed a
petition to pave First street east of the
bridge.
Asphalt will be the material used.
AS soon as the legal formalities re-
quired under the Vrooman act are COM
piled with the work will proceed, 81
day, as he proudly pointed to we'll
thumbed petition containing scores OF
names.
The area to be improved is about a
mile in length and extends from the
bridge to Chicago street, where the old
Los Angeles railway power house
stands. 1t is the main travelled road
to Boyle7Heights.
Eventually the road will cut through
the power house lot, as the street makes
a turn there. When this extra land is
obtained or condemned the asphalt
pavement will be continued farther
east.
First street is paved west of the
bridge and traffic there is constant and
heavy. With the growth of the dis
trict beyond, the need for better thor
oughfares has become apparent crys-
tallizing into a united demand for as
phalt pavements for First street.
The petition was filed with the board
of public works yesterday and it's men,
bers, realizing the great public benefit
conferred by the measure, ordered that
it be advanced as rapidly as possible.
The Ninth Ward Improvement asso-
citation has been actively championine
the cause of the new Los Angeles, and
the recent rains and consequent. dis
comfort have expedited matters in hur-
rying the signing of petitions.
I'VE had to wait bit, as we wanted
the sewers laid first" said Councilman
Blanchard yesterday. We did not
want to tear the pavement up again, SO
we waited till the sewer pipes were
first laid. Now that work is well under
way.
This is a big thing for Boyle
Heights"

HOW ABOUT YOUR

A Few Suggestions that VIII Help You
to Make a Wise Selection.

At this season of the year all are try
ing to solve the knotty problem of giving
their friends suitable present.
If man smokes-most men do-what
more appropriate than a handsome box of
cigars specially made for Christmas-a
beautiful case, containing a pipe In keep
ing with the case, or any other of the
smokers neeessities2
In the UNITED CIGAR STORES YOU
can find everything that smoker needs
at prices that will suit your purse,
whether 1t be large or small, and you re-
ceive better qutaliy for the money than
anywhere else.
BESIDES the stores are made as beauti-
frl as II is possible to get them by em-
ployment of modern equipment, and the
service In them Is being kept at the same
high level. Only statesmen trained 10
their duties are employed and there Is as
much attention to the personality of their
men, as to their ability to build business.
Politeness is exaeted OF every salesman

SAYS TELEPHONE
SYSTEM IS GOOD
Omaha Expert Who Spends Winter in
Los Angeles Talks About Munich
palIy Owned Plants and
Their Failure

E. M. Morsman, secretary and treas
urer of the Nebraska Telephone COM
pany, with headquarters at Omaha, ar
rived at the Alexandria hotel yesterday
and will pass the winter here.
Mr.. Morsman is an authority on af-
fairs concerning the telephone as it is
seen in various parts of the country, at
home and abroad.
In speaking of the system in Los An
geles he said that he had not been here
long enough so far to find out much
about the telephone, but declared tina:
| in other cities the double service had
been voted a great Inconvenience.
Il hear you have a good telephone
system in Los Angeles, or more cor
rectly speaking, two good systems, but
should imagine the people would dis
like two telephones in their homes and
offices. In other cities the double sys-
tenn is considered a nuisance"
Asked for his opinion regarding the
municipal ownership of telephone sys-
TENS, Mr.. MoTsman said:
THE failure of municipal ownership
in the cities where it has been tried is
the most eloquent argument against it.
Il have seen it tried and read of it.
heard much about it from those who
advocated it, and pointed to the trials
in Scotland as proof of the good re-
suits which could be accomplished, but
since then it has proved a failure in
Scotland as well as in American cities.
Even the most exorbitant price
charged by private company In Amer
lea does not equal the price charged by
the municipality of Edinburgh Scot
land. The municipality finds that it
cannot give service as cheaply as the
private corporations. 1t is to the bene-
fit of corporation to improve it's own
system, and corporations are not slow
to do the things which will benefit
themselves.
'Other utilities have been placed un-
der municipal control in various cities
and they have been managed with
much less success than when they were
under private control. The reasons are
obvious. Wherever there Is municipal
control of public utilities there is boss
ism. The politician uses the utility to
his own ends. City officials can have
much fatter salaries when there is mu-
nicipal control of utilities than when
there is not. 1t stands to reason that
when there is more money coming into
the city departments there is more that
can go out of it. We must assume that
city officials are honest, and yet on
every hand we hear of graft. One would
hardly expect that there would be less
graft if the politicians had less to
graft.
''I do not take very active part in
the telephone business at present. 1
spend most of the winter with my wife
in some place where there is a mild
climate, and this year l have come to
Los Angeles. Los Angeles is an ideal
spot when the sun shines, but we feel
that we are terribly abused If there is
the slightest shower while we are here"

NO CLUE TO LOCATION
OF MISSING FARMER

Not single clue has been obtained
| of the whereabouts of Ole Thorvildsen,
who left his home at Northwood year
ago last fall for a trip to the coast.
As Thorvildsen expected to be gone
several months, year had elapsed be-
fore his relatives became much alarmed
at not hearing from him. Inquiries
were made then and it was found that
he had visited none of the people he
expected to visit on the trip, and the
last heard of him was at Hayre, Mont.
During the past few months more
systematic search has been made for
the missing man. Advertisements have
been inserted in all of the leading pa
|pers on the coast and throughout the
state Of Washington, asking for infor-
nation and offering reward. of $Ioo
for such information. In addition to
this postal cards containing his picture
and description of the missing man
have been sent to every official between
here and the coast, and nothing has
been heard either from cards or adver-
tising. J.
Hon. T" E. Tufte, who was recently
appointed special administrator of the
estate, will remain in charge of the
property until something is heard of
Thorvildsen or until he is declared le-
gally dead should no word ever be re-
ceived from him, Seven years must
elapse from the time of the disappear
ance before the courts will hold that
legally; missing person is dead, in
the ABSENCE of any proofs of actual
