after the job is finished workmen and
material dealers will demand pay for
what the owner has already paid the
contractor, and then they have the
right to sell the house from over the
owners head if the bills are not paid
again
1T is said that there are dealers in
building material who make a business
OF selling to irresponsible contractors
at high price, depending on the lien
laws TO make the owner pay them.
"A house is like suit of clothes. it's
value depends on how long it will
wear, more than on its appearance
Many houses that have a beautiful ap-
pearance are mere shells and quickly
go to pieces. Buttermilk, coal oil and
water, mixed, look nicer when new
than genuine paint. One nail may be
driven where three should be used.
The builder may put in three times
as much sand in the mortar or plaster
as Is proper. He may leave out brac-
ing, use poor lumber and cheap, thinly
plated hardware, the plating of which
comes off after a few months wear; he
may use putty for plumbing his joints
instead of lead-which is a crime
against the health of the family, but
saves money: his bath tubs and sinks
may be Of the cheapest glazed ware,
which in a short time will crack and
scale. He may use a thin, cheap grade
OF shingles, with half as many nails as
are necessary; then in a year or so a
new roof is required.
In fact, the only protection an own
er has is the reputation and honesty

thousands Of Persons Are SwindIed
Through Unjust Mechanics Lien Laws

Bungalows and Cottages in South
ern California is the title of the lat
est souvenir edition of the Home
Builder, published by the Los Angeles
Investment company. This book is an
Improvement over even the preceding
issues, which were at once attractive
and useful to the prospective builder.
Ihls book presents houses and plans
as built and streets and tracts as de-
Veloped by the Los Angeles Invest
ment company. The cuts are numer-
Gus, showing floor plans, houses,
streets and tracts. together with views
OF the companys own lumber mills
and yards.
The reading matter is replete with
useful information as to houses and
methods of building. But above all,
the book is most useful to the prospec-
tive builder for what it says concern
ing the unjust mechanics lien laws of
California, which give swindlers and
thieves a wide berth. On this subject
the book says:
thousands of persons who have
built homes have been swindled under
the unjust mechanics lien laws of
California. This law provides that any
person who has furnished material
and labor for any house may sell the
mouse TO get his pay, even if the owner
has paid the contractor in full and has
had no dealings with the material men
or laborers.
This law, while the intention was
good, has proved a trap for many
persons. Dishonest contractors will
take a contract for building at a low
hgure' get their money, and weeks

ARROYO SECO BRIDGE
PLANS ARE COMPLETE
GREAT STRUCTURE TO COST
S150,OOO
Committee Feels Confident of Success,
with Assistance of Cities, County
and Various Railroads
Concerned

Plans have been prepared for the i'm
mense traffic bridge, which it is pro-
posed to erect over the Arroyo Seco
at South Pasadena connecting Avenue
SiXty-siX in Garvanza and Mission
street. The committee of seven, of
which George w. Wilson of South Pas
adena is chairman, and Carl Packard
Of Highland Park is secretary, has had
plans drawn for a concrete structure
which will cost $4,000 1t will be $50
feet long and rs feet wide and will have
IA spans each go feet in length, and
eight piers.
Though the bridge will cost such a
great sum, the committee feels conf
dent of success. The cost will be borne
by the cities of Los Angeles and South
Pasadena, Los Angeles county, the Salt
Lake and Pacific Electric roads 1t is
planned to use the structure for all
kinds Of traffic, and for that reason
the railroad companies will be invited
to contribute to the cost Of the struc-
ture
The proposed bridge will provide a
straight course across the arroyo and
will cut off the present circuitous route
followed by pedestrians and vehicles.
The Los Angeles approach to the new
bridge will be at the intersection Of
Avenue SiXty-six and Pasadena ave-
AuS, WIIAllu 1OuF DlOChS Oh JIl6 new DOu-

1t is understood that the Salt Lake
company feels favorably toward the
proposed bridge and that it is willing
to enter into a contract to assist in
the building of the bridge. Though
the Pacific Electric road has just about
decided to build a new bridge Of its
own across the arroyo, it is believed

that it can be interested in the big

PLANS ABROAD FOR
ASPARAGUS CANNERY
IMPERIAL PRODUCTION WILL
JUSTIFY VENTURE
Factory Is Desired to Consume Veges
tables After Price Declines at
Height Of Season-Large
Acreage Ahead

IMPERIAL Feb. 13-That Imperial
Will have an asparagus cannery next
year seems almost certain. The grow
erS, and they are quite numerous, are
giving considerable attention to the
subject, and they believe the output
next season will be sufficient to make
the cannery highly desirable.
This year the crop is full month
earlier than 1t was last year, and SO
far as returns have been received the
prices are highly satisfactory. On the
coast the price has run from so to sc
cents a pound, and it is hoped that
the returns from the early shipments
to the east will show even better re-
turns, no one having yet heard from
shipment to the eastern cities, though
several shipments are now on the road
by express.
There will be no carload shipments
of asparagus from the valley this year
but it is believed by next year there
will be a number of shipments by the
car, and it may be that daily carload
shipments may be made during the
season.
From the fields in the northern por-
ton of the state no carload shipments
are made until April, and this valley
will be able to command the market
for month before the northern fields
get busy.
The cannery is desired to consume
the product after the price has de-
clined somewhat, to take care of the
surplus above that which the market
will take up at fancy prices.
There is large acreage Of asparagus
which is not in production this year,
but will be along next year and the
year after, and the output of the val
ley will increase rapidly from this
