CITY MUST BURN
DEAD ANIMALS
Threatened with Prosecution for
Maintaining Nuisance, Company
Unloads Contract on Public
Works Board

Attorney I. B. Dockweiler appeared be-
fore the board of health yesterday to ask
cooperation in the proper handling of
the dead animal disposal question.
The Hanson company, which operates
a plant in the river bed-having trans
ferred it's business from San Fernando
road-has just been notified by the city's
prosecuting officer to abate the nuisance.
These same persons hold the city contract
for taking up all dead animals promptly.
They are in the position of being forced
to break a contract with the city or sub
jecting themselves to criminal prosecution
If they carry out the contract.
Attorney Dockweiler said his clients
were willing to stop rendering animals
at once, as the contract was not profit
able but their information was that the
board of public works was in no position
to handle dead animals at the incinera-
tor and they were unwilling to take ad-
vantage of the city in such an extremity.
The health board decided that the ques-
tion must now be settled by the city
council, which authorized the pending
prosecutions, and by the board of public
works, which is charged with the respon-
sibillty for such contingencies.
The city officials were thereupon
warned by Attorney Dockweiler that the
company would shut down on the busi-
ness because of the threatened criminal
proceedings.

WATER BOARD LOANS FUNDS
FOR AQUEDUCT ACQUISITION

In order to meet the payroll of the
Los Angeles aqueduct, due December l,
the water board has transferred $4,000
out of the water revenue fund for that
purpose.
The sum of $4,000 was also transferred
as first payment on the purchase of 600
acres in the San Fernando valley which
the board wishes for reservoir purposes.
This money will be repaid from the pro-
oeeds of the sale of the issue of $1O2O,0OO
bonds, of which the state takes half and
Los Angeles banks the balance.
The Porter ranch holdings which the
city desires will cost about $6S,00O and
tie $4,000 constitutes a first payment.
The city also has an option on 500 acres of
the Mission ranch tract adjoining, which
will be bought.
The city will get the Porter lands at
lower figure than the acreage is held for
in the valley, the owners believing that
they will gain indirectly by reason of the
construction of the reservoir in their
vicinity

UNION PACIFIC
IMPROVEMENTS
Double Track Construction
for Nearly 400 Miles
| Main Line

CHICAGO, June double track
construction on the Union Pacific has
been undertaken this year on a scale
acceeding anything attempted before
in the West. To the IT'S miles of dou-
bile track in operation between Oma-
ha and Green River, Wyo., will be
added nearly 200 miles of second
track now under construction.
The vast undertaking known as the
Lane ,Cut-Off, between South Oma-
ha and Lane, Neb., although only II
miles in length, is the most heroic
feature of the Union Pacific improve
ment program now under way. This
line necessitates 5000, 900 cubic yards
of roadbed excavation, and calls fol-
fills of from 100000 to 100000 cubic
yards. The cuts are of equally huge
proportions. The largest is a mile
long, with an extreme depth of g.
feet. Two thirds of the grading Il
finished, and the whole undertaking
will be completed this year. The cut
off saves nearly nine miles over tn
old main line by way of South omah
and Gilmore.
From Lane to Valley double track
i ing was completed late last year. Thi
II fall will see the completion of an
II other big stretch of double track near
II ly so miles in length, from Valley
Il Benton. The next big stretches {
/ double tracking are between Silvt
Creek and Lockwood, a distance
