been done and today the matter was
brought to a focus, a telephone in the
Franklin school building being speci-
fed.
Regarding his arrest Mr.. Eason said:
1--WE have for several months past been
installing fuses and arresters in the
circuits of all new telephones put in
and of all telephones which are
changed from one place to another. We
have not put the fuses In old tele-
phones because we do n t consider 1t
necessary. In Los Angeles this is not
required, nor is it required in any other
city Of Southern California, as far as
we know. We have arresters in each
telephone better than any which we
could install outside. We consider 1t
very poor form on the part of the city
to occupy our poles with its electric
lighting wires, in many cases without
our permission, and then require uS TO
guard against the danger from short
circuits"
1t is said by Mr.. Reeves that no
trouble has been experienced on the
fuse question with any other company.

SANTA MONICA, April 9-Work on
the casting of the concrete piling for
the new city wharf at the foot of Col

The piles will be put in place as soon
as they are properly seasoned, a process
that will take several weeks. Mean
while other equally necessary work of
preparation for the wharf will be car
ried on, so that no time will be lost by
the wait for the seasoning of the piles.
This wharf will be the first in Cali
fornia to use concrete piing, which is
practically indestructible, and therefore
a great improvement over the wooden
piling commonly used in wharf con-
struction. The Santa Monica wharf is
to be constructed along the same gen.
eral lines as those of the concrete piling
wharf at Atlantic City, N. j., which af-
ter three years service is said to be
harder and stronger than it was at the
time of it's construction.
