MORAL OF THE WRECK

The dreadful disaster at Long Beach
yesterday in the collapse of a portion
of the Bixby hotel, attended as it was
by great loss of life, again calls at
tention to two facts which should i'm
press themselves upon all in authority.
First. The necessity for better, more
expert and more rigorous inspection of
all buildings in process of construc-
ton.
Second. Better familiarity on the
part of contractors and builders with
the materials which enter into the
| construction of buildings.
Builders readily account for the dis
aster at Long Beach upon scientific
grounds. They say there is rarely a
time when it is reasonable to lay any
blame upon the character of material
used, but insist that better knowledge
of material should be inherent in build
ers.
The sad and irreparable fact in this
disaster is the loss of those splendid
lives-the careers cut short of honest,
faithful men who were doing their
share of the worlds work-leaving to
their grief-stricken families a heavy
burden of sorrow. To all such families
the sincerest public sympathy is ex-
tended.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-10
TO THE POLLS MONDAY

In the certainty that very light
vote viii be cast next Monday, IN the
annexation election, lies an element
Of danger to the proposition. The vote
| Is likely to be so light that It would
not be difficult for a quietly organized
effort to succeed IN defeating the meas
ure. Certain corporate interests are
believed to be hostile to the "shoe-
string" provision for making possible
the jointure of the harbor cities with
Los Angeles. Those interests could
easily muster n considerable opposing
vote next Monday. without giving any
public intimation Of their purpose.
As the voters Of this city have Just
passed through one election and have
in sight another generally important
one in the city contest December 4, It
cannot be expected that the annexation
election will arouse much public inter-
est, particularly as it is known that
all citizens favor the project excepting
those who are allied with the aforesaid
corporations.
The issue to be decided at the polls
next Monday is Of the utmost i'm
portauce to Los Angeles, and not the
most remote chance of defeat should
be taken. To make assurance doubly
sure" voters should decide to stand
the slight inconvenience that may be
caused by going to the polls. And as
the matter is of special interest to all
business concerns, it would be well for
employers to give employees ample time
to vote, notifying them accordingly in
advance.
1t should be remembered that with
out annexing the strip of territory be-
tween Los Angeles and the harbor
cities the whole project of union with
those cities will have to be postponed
indefinitely. The "shoestring" is a
necessary connecting link, and it must
be acquired before another step can be
taken in the jointure Of Los Angeles
with San Pedro and Wilmington.
1t is understood that voters in the
connecting strip are almost unanimous
in favor of the proposition. They
know that the value of their property
will be greatly enhanced by anneXa-
tion to the city, as the strip will be the
main artery between Los Angeles and
the harbor. Consequently it is not ex-
pected that any considerable negative
vote will be cast by the strip dwellers.
But make no mistake about the Los
Angeles vote. Corporate interests al
ways are wide awake and in dealing
with them it is well to recollect the
saying that Eternal vigilance is the
price," etc.

TO GET BENEFIT
Treasurer Workman Tenders Right of
Way, Thus Solving Problem, While
Councilman Blanchard Will
Find the Funds

Storm drains will shortly be built in
a section of Boyle Heights that is being
built up rapidly, as a result of visit
of visit of City Treasurer William
Workman and Councilman Blanchard
yesterday to the board of public works.
The fine section of East Los Angeles
realty between Sixth and Stephenson
avenue, east of Soto street, will with
the expenditure of less than $4,000 for
piping be adequately severed in the
rainy season and enable building and
subdivision to proceed without any
further delays
Work on the drain problem has been
delayed for the reason that the grade
of Sixth street had not been flxed.
Treasurer Workman, who owns much
of the property, solved the problem by
rendering the use Of a right of way
over mis- land for piping. and thus doing
away with an expensive cut.
The city engineers office proposed
that vitrified pipe be used for drains,
at cost of perhaps $4,000, but property
owners state that they Will be satisfied
with cement jointed pipe, which will
reduce the cost.
Councilman Blanchard has promised
to find tho funds II the board OF pub
| lie works cannot, and there Is rejoicing
in Boyle Heights among scores OF prop
| erty owners.
