BLOCK MEN ASK
AID Of MAYOR
ARTIFICIAL STONE INTERESTS
CONTINUE FIGHT
Concrete Industry May Also Ask Con-
cessions When Building Ordi-
nances Come UP for Final
Action Monday

In Mayor Owen McAleers Office
a delegation of hollow-block men
held a conference with the city's
executive yesterday morning arguing
in behalf of their industry, which is
threatened by the new concrete ordi-
nance which proposes to eliminate hol-
low blocks from exterior and interior
exposed walls.
After the council has acted the
mayors office will have its say.
Mayor McAleer halls from Akron,
Ohio in district where hollow blocks
are extensively made; and friends of
the artificial stone industry expect to
see a veto on the measure if the hol-
low block feature gets a blow In fact
from semi -official authority it is said
the mayor will veto the measure if
blocks are legislated against.
Those near to the executive say that
he takes the view that to permit the
brick and concrete men to hold full
sway in building operations by hav-
ing exclusive material privileges may
hamper building in Los Angeles, and
that free competition, provided tests
and standards for safety of structures
are insisted on, will be the best thing
for the city eventually.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-04
Three-cornered Fight

When the concrete measure comes
up for action on Monday afternoon it
will be found that the controversy has
become a sided one.
The concrete men say if concessions
are made to the hollow block inter-
ests they too will ask modification of
the law. Their plant will be for thin
ner exterior walls.
That there has been a shifting of
opinion in the advising commission
which framed the proposed ordinance
seems probable. Hitherto the commits
sion, it is understood, has been domi-
mated largely by Octavius Morgan,
who is a pronounced enemy of hollow
blocks. If outside gossip be true.
Messrs. Whittlesey and Parkinson. well
known architects have receded some-
what from their objections to the ar
ticial stone. on the other hand Ar
chitect Rosenheim has become even
more firmly set on the Morgan side.
Counsel for the brick men, 1t is un-
derstood, will also be present Monday,
ready to debate the question If an
other hearing is granted before the
council.

in Jail too many times to enumerate.
They arrived in Los Angeles two days
ago from Yuma, Ariz., to which place
they claimed to have recently gone from
Seattle. If their story is true they had
also been in Alaska for several months.
They will be held in the city Jail until
their records are exposed.

says: | do not believe that farmers
give quite enough attention to the
growing of pumpkins and squashes; at
least not the attention that these i'm
portant crops are entitled to. New
land is preferable to that which has
been cropped for many years, though
much may be done by judicious fertil-
izing. l plant the hills from eight to
ten feet apart each way and after
wards thoroughly cultivate the ground
as long as the vines will permit. l
then thin out each hill and leave one
or two vines only. My observation is
that one vine to the hill raises more
pounds Of pumpkins, squashes or mel
ons than if more vines are left.
