WANTS FURTHER TIME TO

SALT LAKE ASKS PRIVILEGES ON
THREE STREETS
Because of Heavy Repair Work in
Nevada and Utah Company's
Force Could Not Finish
Los Angeles Work

Because of delays due to the big spring
washouts in Nevada and Utah the San
Pedro Salt Lake & Los Angeles railway
has filed a petition with the city clerk
asking that it be given six months fur
ther time in which to construct Its spur
track on Myers street and along and
upon Kearney and Utah streets in Los
Angeles.
The ordinance granting the right speci-
fed six months time limit.
The company officials say that the ex-
traordnary work required in rebuilding
one hundred miles of track besides
bridges has prevented the track laying
forces from giving their attention to work
here, and it is the desire of the company
to take up the spur work at once.
The Meadow valley wash section in
Nevada is one of the most difficult in
western railroad engineering and the
Salt Lake company's engineer now be-
lieve they have evolved a plan which will
be proof against further washouts in that

Because the BARRIERS of Los Angeles

Prices of shines in shops have also been

If the sentiment of councilmen remains
the same it is likely that fee OIL % per

was and is now the standard of piano
quality throughout the world. 1t will be
kept so.
SteinWay Fruition
This emulous and punctilious course has
won for the Steinway institution and the
Steinway piano the confidence and the
admiration of the world of art; indeed,
this sentiment extends into the practical
life of the community. The liberal inter-
est that the Steinways have manifested
at all times in music and it's gifted ex-
ponents, and the substantial aid they
have always granted to both have had
a stimulating and broadening reflex in
fluence upon the Steinway supremacy in
the musical world.

SOUND NOTE

STATE PURE FOOD LAW WILL BE
VIGOROUSLY ENFORCED
DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY
COMPLIES RULES
Statute Is Interpreted for Benefit of
Manufacturers, and Every VIOLA
tion viii Bring Vigorous
Prosecution

Deputy District Attorney Mccartney
has compiled rules regulations and defin-
itions that will govern the enforcement
of the state pure food law in this county.
: The national and California pure food
laws are Identical and the regulations
mentioned are those promulgated by the
United States department of agriculture.
Mr.. McCartney's report is as follows:
1T will conduce to clearness to call
attention to the general purpose of this
act
The primary purpose of the pure food
law Is to prevent deception and to pro-
tect against fraud, consumers of food or
drugs. AS an incidental or secondary pur-
pose 1t seeks to prevent, or at least dis
courage, the use of deleterious SUBJ
stances for either purpose; but it's first
aim is to insure, so far as possible that
the purchaser of an article of food or of
q drug shall obtain nothing different from
what heNwishes and intends to purchase
And, according to the recognized rules of
statutory construction the language of
its provisions must be interpreted with
reference to and in harmony with this
primary general purpose, so that, in de-
termining the proper nomenclature for
articles of food as defined in the act. the
intention of the law will be best observed
by giving to such articles names readily
understood.
