MRS. WIGGINS TALKS
FOR HOME PRODUCTS
DELIVERS ADDRESS BEFORE THE
EBELL CLUB
Urqes Members to Make II Their Com
blned Study and Pleasure to Pat
ronze Work of Local
Concerns

The foremost feminine booster of
Los Angeles, Mrs. Frank Virgins,
spoke before the Ebell club yesterday
afternoon, enlisting the women in the
home products prosperity Week"
Mrs. Virgins addressed the club by
invitation and made a stirring address.
In part she said:
Following the rule laid down for the
government reports as to establish
ments entitled to be classified as fac
tories, the chamber of commerce has
lately compiled and issued for distri-
button an industrial list, in which the
names of 1911 Los Angeles firms ap-
pear.
MANY of these industries are hardly
out of their swaddling clothes, but, II
fostered, they will be the precursors
of a long line of similar enterprises.
They range from ant exterminators
and antiseptic cleansers to gas en-
gines. automobiles and portable houses.
"There is quite a list of wearables
in addition to our uneXcelled eatables.
We are offered, also, many articles or
real artistic merit, such as the cut
glass and pottery of local factories,
and the hand work-With the brain
workers behind it-of the artists and
workers in the arts and crafts, and,
not to be forgotten, the works of our
California authors, actors, painters and
musicians of worth.
''In all your purchases during Pros
perity Week'-of clothing, furniture,
bedding. house fixtures, books, pic
lures and music, and in supplying your
tables. you women of the Ebell can
make il a combined study and pleas
ure to patronize home industries, which
will according to one of the many
slogans written for this week, pro-
mote permanent prosperity"

USE CONCRETE
FOR 'OUTFALL' PIER
Committee Is Appointed Specially to
Investigate Economy of Cement
PIllng for City Sewage
Delivery

Concrete piling, for the city's outfall
sewer pier, at Hyperion, may be con-
structed, if a special committee of the
council, comprised of Councilman Wal
lace, Dromgold and Wren find it of
economical advantage to the city.
The board of public works knows the
piles of the present structure are eaten
badly by the toredo and to such an ex-
tent it is feared the first storm will
carry several of. them away, so it is
only a question of time until the
pier is entirely demolished.
The board has declared it's intention
to place piles dipped in creosote,
which viii be practically toredo proof,
the estimated cost of which is SIS, 900.
This sum was allowed in the budget,
but Councilman Dromgold says by ad-
ding little more to this estimate, TAX
en- from the general expense fund, the
piling can be constructed of concrete
and be practically indestructible.
Several of the beach cities are aware
concrete piers save more than their
cost in repairs in a few years and
Councilman Dromgold believes the city
should profit by the same experience.
The city has paid out 1854 since last
March in repairs to it's pier at Hy-
perion and, until concrete piling is put
in it is believed it will constantly be
called upon to repair the structure.
1t is necessary to maintain this pier
at Hyperion, as the city is under con-
tract to discharge its sewage 800 feet
from the shore line.
The question will be presented again
for the councils consideration in two
weeks

ASK COUNCIL TO AID
IN BUILDING SEWERS
PROPERTY OWNERS PETITION
FOR RELIEF
Lake Shore Avenue Residents Claim
Improvement Was Intended Also
for BenefSt of Glendale and
Vicinity

Property owners in the assessment
district of the trunk line sewer on
Lake Shore avenue have asked the
council to bear a part of the burden of
constructing this sewer.
They represent that the Lake Shore
avenue sewer is intended as much for
the benefit of Edendale and that part
of the city as for their own immediate
advantage, and assert that it was one
of the sewers projected to connect with
the outfall when the people voted the
sewer bonds.
The sewer bond money was all spent
on the outfall and nothing was left to
construct the trung lines to connect
with it. These trunk lines are now
being laid and the property owners are
being assessed for their cost.
Members of the council told the prop
erty owners they had every right in
the world to make the demand, but
that there were many other sections in
the same predicament, and that if the
council established the precedent of
paying a portion of the cost of the
Lake Shore avenue sewer it would have
to pay for many more like it.
On this ground the request was de-
MED.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE
TO INSPECT FURNACE
Patent Pre-Heated Air OIL Device
May Be Adopted by City If Com
pany viii Give the Required
Guarantee

The hot air committee of the city
council, Wallace and Dromgold, with
"Pop" Blanchard to act as sort of
exhaust muffier and smoke consumer,
will form a special board to make
tour of inspection of the Mason Smoke
less Combustion company's pre-heated
air oil furnaces.
The city expects to install several
furnaces. and it was at the suggestion
of the board of public works that the
committee was named
The boiler inspector told the board
that he did not particularly recon-
mend this style of furnace, but sug-
gested that a proposition be submitted
to this company. This proposition is
to guarantee a saving of a certain per-
centage of fuel oil consumed in a stated
time, this saving to be the equivalent
of the cost of Installing the furnace
and subsequent repairs due to the
burning out of furnace walls.
The council committee will make this
proposal to the Mason company and
it is believed it will be accepted.

Sounds Were Muffled
The combination dial was knocked
off and the explosive poured IN the

PLACE EMERGENCY ORDER
FOR WORK ON AQUEDUCT
Drill Steel and Shanks Amounting to
Thousands of Dollars Urgently
Needed by Men Boring
Tunnel

The aqueduct commission has ordered
two carloads of drill steel at Is cents a
pound and 1900 blank drill shanks at
$1.5O each. from the Pacific Coast Man
ufacturing company.
This was placed as an emergency
order by authority granted by the
council, as the tunnel borers on the
aqueduct are badly in need of the ma
terial.
1t was explained by the board of
public works that these drills were to
lit certain patented machines which
they use, and that these could be pur-
chased only of one company. There
fore it would be a farce and would
greatly hamper the work to advertise
for bids. This order will amount to
thousands of dollars.
