HAS NO EVIDENCE
Of COMBINATION
LACK OF IMPROVEMENTS DUE
TO BAD LUCK
President Anderson of the Board of
Public Works Tells Reasons
for Delay to Street
Work

street and other improvements in
Los Angeles lag lamentably behind In
the general march OF progress of the
city
| No one attempts to make a denial of
this fact, but, on the other hand, no
effort is made to lay the blame at the
door of any city official or any body of
officials.
Charges that contractors have COM
bined. not only to advance prices but
to hog" the contracts, are doubted.
| Members of the board of public works
offer an explanation for every phase of
-, the present deplorable condition Of the
street, sewer and other improvements
ut is merely a case of hard luck,
said President Anderson yesterday,
and Messrs. Edwards and Hubba9d, the
other two members, nodded their heads
i'm assent. LAS you are aware" con-
tnued President Anderson, there was
delay of two months in the appoint
ment of the board. Then, just as we
were getting things in shape for award
ing contracts there came the San
Francisco disaster, followed by the re-
peated declaration of legal holidays.
"As a result it was practically July
before we were able to go to work in
earnest. Thus we lost almost five of
the eleven months of the current year.
I'm addition to this the city en-
gineer's office, with an insufficient
force. was far behind in its work, and
this condition upset many plans. I'm
der the new order of things. however,
and with both the street department
and the city engineers office under one
control, work is moving along as well,
If not better, than could be expected,
considering the manner in which we
were handicapped at the start"
No Evidence of Combine
President Anderson was asked if he
had heard of the charges that bidders
for various classes of city work had
formed combines
Yes said Mr.. Anderson, cit has
been suggested that such might be the
case, but as yet we have discovered no
evidence that would indicate that the
charges We're true. We can say this,
that invariably the bids for all classes
of work, show a wide variance in price,
which undoubtedly would not be the
case were there combine among the
bidders. For instance, we received bids
today for sewer work which show a
variance of $500 on comparatively
small contract.
There has been considerable COM
plant about the cost of the work, COM
pared with that of past years, and this
has been one of the grounds on which
charges of combines have been made.
The higher cost is due to the increased
cost of material and higher wages
I'm the grading of streets the in
creased cost is due, in addition to
higher wages, to the fact that con-
tracts, with a very few exceptions,
provide for the graveling of streets,
and this alone increases the cost 81 per
lineal foot over that of last year, when
the contracts merely called for grad
ing.
"While the delay in completing much
of the work is to be regretted, the
cause was unavoidable, and we do not
believe that the city is getting the
worst of it as to eXorbtant prices or
delay in the work resulting from COM
bines of contractors"

A IMMIGRATION
FOR DR.. PIERCE
Decision by the Supreme
Court Of the State Against
Ladies' Home Journal.

A verdict has been rendered in
favor Of the plaintiff in the libel
suit brought against the Ladies'
Home Journal (oublished by the
Curtis Publishing Coz by the
Worlds Di~pensary Medical AS.
sociation, Of which DR.. f. v.
Pierce is president. The suit
was brought by DR.. Pierce
against the Curtis Publishing
Co, for making false statements
about one of his standard family
medicines known as DR.. Pierce's
F'ayorite Prescription. In the
May number Of the Ladies' Home
Journal (19O4), Mr., Edward Box,
the editor, stated that DR.. Pierce IS
Prescription contained alcohol
and some other harmful ingred-
tents, and DR.. Pierce has IN the
action alleged that the defendant
maliciously published this article
containing such false and defam-
|atory matter. DIR. Pierce further
claimed that no alcohol is or ever
was contained in his "Favorite$
Prescription that said medicine
was vegetable preparation and
contained no deletrious ingredi-s
ents whatever; that Mr.. Bok's
statement, pretending to give
some of the ingredients Of said
medicine, was wholly and abso
lute.y false. During the trial,
the Vice President of the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Association
stated, that the ingredients Of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton were extracted from the
following native roots: Golden
Seal, Blue Cohosh, Lady's Slipper
Black Conosh and Unicorn, by
means of pure glycerine. He
was asked how he knew, as a
physician and experienced medi
cal man, that the "Favorite Pre-
scription" was a cure for the
diseases peculiar to women, such
as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea,
ante.version, retro-version, and
he stated that be knew such was
the fact because of his profes-
sional experience and the many
thousands of women whose ills
had been cured by this Pre-
scription. The Vice-President,
being asked to give his authori
ties, read from the standard
works, such as the United States
3Dispensatory, The American Dis
pensatory and many other stand
ard medical books.
The retraction printed by the
Curtis Publishing Company two
months after the libelous state
ment appeared and nearly two
months after, the suit had been
begun stated definitely thatanaly-
SEES had been made at their re-
quest and that the 'Fayorite
Prescription did not contain
Ieitber alcohol, opium or digitalis.
