CITY MENACED WITH
SUIT BY GARVANZA
Storm Water PiIing Up and Board Of
Public Works PoWerIess-Hewitt
Says There l. Good
Case

With the storm water piling up in
Garvanza, residents and property own
ers in that portion of the city are again
threatening damage suits against the
city, and with its hands tied by injunc-
tion proceedings the board of public
works can do nothing to avoid the
threatened danger. Should these out
ragged property owners bring suits the
city attorney is of the opinion they will
have good arguments to present to the
court.
The city engineer has reported to the
council that the only temporary eX-
pedient whereby relief may be given is
the building of culverts under Pasadena
avenue and Marmion way. 1t is
planned to do this as soon as the in
junction that stops this work is dis
solved.
The injunction was obtained by prop
erty owners in the Metz tract, on whom
the storm water will be poured as soon
as these culverts are built. The city
engineer recommends that instead Of
building the culverts a storm drain he
constructed, as this will be permanent
improvement and will carry the water
without DANA ging anyone. He would
have this drain constructed by district
assessment, the total cost to be about
S10,0G0 He believes the property owners
in the Metz tract, located in the Arroyo
Seco, should pay the larger portion of
this. There are certain difficulties to
De overcome, such as securing a right
of way for a portion of the sewer.
The council will take no action on
this recommendation until the injunc-
ton is dissolved.

Municipal Affairs
ANXIOUS TO PRESENT
CITY WITH PROPERTY
poses If Council Will Author
ize Payment of TrifIing
Assessment

After repeated efforts for the past
five years to make the city a present of
a public street, the owners of the prop
erty may be successful if the council
can be induced to pay the assessments
against the street, amounting to $191,7S.
These assessments have never been
paid, owners being as willing to have
the property sold for taxes as to get
rid of it any other way, so long as the
city acquires title to it and uses it for
street purposes. 1t is really a public
street, anyhow, as it has been used by
the public for that purpose.
Early in 1904 Ralph Rogers filed a
map dedicating this strip of land as a
public street. The city engineer re-
fused to accept the map. Later Rogers
offered it to the city in a deed. Still
his gift was refused. Later he sold the
property to the Mineral Park Land
company, and this company has of
fered to deed the street to the city. The
engineer now sees no objection to ac-
cepting the street if the assessments
against it are paid, and he recommends
that the council be asked to pay the
amount. This street connects Avenue
Sixty in the city limits with Avenue
Sixty outside the city, and is really a
portion of this avenue. 1t runs through
what is known as the Garvanza tract.

HeaVRains Make
Pure Drinkind
Water Necessary
Streams Become Contaminated
with Vegetable Matter and
Other Impurities Washed from
the Soil.

At no time of year is it more essen
tial to have a supply of pure drinking
water in the home than during the
rainy season.
The rains wash into the streams the
vegetable and other impurities which
have collected in the soil during the
long, dry season. These affect the pur-
ity of natural water supplies And
drinking such water is dangerous, as
it may contain impurities which will
cause disease.
If you are not already drinking Puri-
tas Distilled Water, make it a point to
order a denijohn of Puritas at once
that is the safest course. Puritas is
absolutely pure water. Not only is it
sparkling and refreshing, but it's con-
stant use is essential to health, espe-
cially at this season.
Puritas is twice distilled; it is aerated
with pure ozone; it is bottled in clean
glass demijohns so carefully that ii
reaches you pure-and will remain pure
if the demijohn is carefully corked
when not in use, until the last glassful
of Puritas has been consumed.
PuTitaS is inexpensive. Five gallons
cost but 40c. Our delivery service

WANT TO IMPROVE MISSION
ROAD FROM CITY TO POMONA

The highway commission visited the
board of public works yesterday to
secure its cooperation in a highway
Improvement that will result in a splen-
did macadamized road from the heart
of Los Angeles to Pomona.
1t is the intention Of the highway
commission to improve Mission road
and it's connections, east to Pomona
and the county limits, and it asked the
board Of public works to improve AL
hambra avenue to connect with Mis-
sion road. The board means to inn
prove this street, and the city engineer
was instructed yesterday to formulate
a plan. One difficulty that will be en-
countered is that the Southern Pacific
owns nearly half the frontage on the
south side of Alhambra avenue, where
it's shops are located, while the city
owns about as much frontage on the
north side, as Eastlake park is on this
avenue. This may make it difficult to
invoke the Vrooman act.

BERKELEY GETS
MEDICAL SCHOOL
LOCAL BRANCH AFFILIATES
WITH UNIVERSITY
Proposed Plan of Transferring to State
School Is Adopted - Both
Sides Express Satis-
faction

The proposed plan of transferring the
medical school OF the University of
Southern California to the University
of California has been arranged, and
at the meeting of the board of regents
of the northern university the consoli-
dation was completed.
This action was taken after meeting
of the trustees of the u. S. c. a week
ago, at which approval of the proposed
consolidation was given by the local
trustees.
The medical school has always been
an affiliated college in connection with
the u. S. c., but has been largely under
it's own management. The university
do for the present senior class, the 1910
class being the first to receive degrees
from the University of California.
DR.. Jarvis Barlow, dean of the col
lege, who is expected to return from
San Francisco today, went to Berkeley
to confer with the officials of that in
stitution. The buildings and present
equipment of the college on Buena
Vista street will be turned over to the
northern institution.
1t is understood that the present plan
of study will be carried out, excepting
that the first two years course will be
given at Berkeley, while the last two
years will be given in Los Angeles.
The Medical school, as an affiliated
college of the U. S. c., has become
widely known throughout the United
States for the high standard of studies
carried out, and the consolidation of
the college with the state university
will be of special interest.
DR.. Bovard, president of the U. S. c.,
said last night that the change had
been made with the best of feeling on
all sides and that the trustees of the
university had voted favorably on the
proposed action.

CONSOLIDATION BILL
HAS GOOD PROSPECTS

'"The bill granting consolidation rights
to Los Angeles has a. more favorable
prospect of passage" said George H.
Stewart, president of the chamber of
commerce and of the Los Angeles har-
Dor commission, on his return from Sac
ramento yesterday, where he has been
watching the status of the bill in the
legislature. 81 believe we will defeat
Savage's amendment, designed to de-
feat the purpose of the bill by requir-
ing a two-thirds vote in each city for
consolidation.
'San Francisco has not as yet made
any move in either direction. The COM
mittee report will be made tomorrow,
and then the bill will take the regular
routine"

COUNCIL TO DEVOTE LARGE
SUM TO ASPHALT PAVEMENT

The asphalt pavement on Sixth street,
from Beaudry to Vermont, will cost the
city more than $4,000. This is due to the
fact that Sixth street runs in front of
Westlake and Sunset parks, and the
city owns these parks.
While the city is not assessabIe for
street Improvements, unless it SO elects.
It was considered unjust to charge this
$4,000 to the private property owners.
The assessment district, therefore, was
made to include the frontage of the
parks, as though the same had been
private property, and the council will
appropriate the money from the gem
eral tax fund
