is authority for the statement that at
the present time and beginning with
September 1, there is more building
going on in the city that at any other
time during the last two years.
Asked to what he ascribed the sud
den revival of construction work, he
answered, 81 don't know of any one
thing. unless 1t is the desire of Los
Angeles people for homes near the
ocean, The peculiar feature of the
boom, if you can call it a boom, is
that there is no one large piece of
work under way, but all of the build
ing is along the line of residences. This
condition not only applies to this city
but to Ocean Park as well. We have
delivered a large number of bills of
material in both places"

TELLS PLANS FOR
OPEN TOP SUBWAY
TO ESTABLISH RAPID TRANSIT
SYSTEM
President of the Company Explains
Scheme to Realty Men - Would
Save Time Between Pasa-
dena and Los Angeles
Especial to The Herald


PASADENA, Sept. 14--In its first
meeting Of the winter season this even
ing at the Guirnalda hotel the Pasa-
dena realty board strongly indorsed
the plans of the Pasadena Rapid Tran
sit company for fast service between
Pasadena and Los Angeles Following
the regular business session and dinner,
President Horace NJ. Dobbins of the
company addressed the assemblage,
which included more than 100 prom
fnent business men. He said in part:
1.-THE project being put forward by
the Pasadena Rapid Transit company
is of unusual Importance to Pasadena,
contemplating the most modern means
Of transit on the best right of way be-
tween the centers of greatest popula-
tion in Pasadena and Los Angeles. 1t
also contemplates giving to Pasadena
n railroad system which will invite new
residents in large numbers.
ut will cost 100000 to complete the
Los Angeles right of way, which is
five times the assessed valuation and
should be ample.
To Be Open Top Subway
''The construction will be open top
subway, the road being fourteen feet
below the surface, with sloping banks
on each side, the streets being carried
across on concrete bridges. The equip
ment will give maximum efficiency and
most comfortable service.
Pasadena is at a direct disadvan-
tage now because of the long time II
takes to travel between here and Los
Angeles. The splendid system of rail-
roads in Southern California has been
built largely at the expense of Pasa-
dena. Every new subdivision takes
possible residents from this city
Among the more than 100 stockhold-
ers of the company are some of the
most astute hnanciers of Southern Cal
ifornia, who are convinced that the en-
terprise is correctly planned and Is
based on well tried principles and ap-
pliances.
"The conditions for reconstruction
are excellent, and the railroad can be
installed here at one-fifth the cost in
large eastern centers.
VIII Be Time Saver
"While present travel amounts to 25,-
600 passengers per day, the rapid tran
sit equipment will provide 100000 seats
daily. The tunnels under the East
river save an average of $500 hours per
day for the people using them. The
saving to the people of Pasadena by
the building of this road will be II 900
hours per day. Here is an economic
question which cannot be disregarded."
In the meeting preceding the dinner
committees were appointed to look into
a request from the board of trade to
limit the number of real estate signs
displayed on local property. other
matters included proposal to improve
the La Canyada road and the approach
to Monk hill. the highest point in the
city, before the tourist season.

Norwegians Celebrate Day
Marking Their independence

Monday was a big day in Norwegian
communities in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
but the day was passed by in Omaha with
little note, as there are few Norwegians
or descendants of Norwegians in this
city.
The day was big one to those with an
cestry dating back to the land Of the mid
night sun. for 1t was the anniversary OF
the date Norway secured it's freedom from
Denmark and became an independent state,
for the first time since the days of the
Vikings Of old.
on March II, lsl4.-ninety- years go
the treaty OF peace was signed with Den
mark, a three years war brought TO its
close and Norway was free. For upwards
OF 80 years the country had been ruled by
the Danes. and Norwegians chafed under
the yoke OF bondage. Smaller wars were
waged at odd times, but In 1911 began the
final war with Denmark. which was ter
minated the same year that America de-
feated the British for the second time.

Mr.. Wig said IL might seem strange that
Norway chose a Dane for a king when Il
separated from Sweden four years ago, but
the Norwegians have forgotten and for
given Denmark for its 300 years OF oppres-
sion and as there were no Norwegian
princes and swede would never do for
ruler. 1t was natural that his people should
turn to another scandinavian country for a
king.
If had been there would have voted
for a republic. you bet." said Mr.. Wig,
but l guess they are pretty well satisfied
with King Hakon. even though he Is a
Dane"
