I'm NOT AFRAID
SAYS MRS. COEY,
FAIR AERONAUT
PRETTY BRIDE AscENDS IN
CHICAGO
LANDING Is MADE NEAR SAN
FERNANDO
First Trip Into Air Of Young Society
Matron Is Suecessful-She
Shows No Sign of
Fear
BY GEORGE b. HARRISON

Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Coey of
Chicago experienced California balloon
ing in an hours trip from Hollywood to
San Fernando yesterday afternoon
with the big balloon Chicago, piloted
by Capt. G. L. Bumbaugh of Indian
apolis. The air currents were not ia
vorable, as they tended over the noun
tains all day, and the trip was neces-
sarily a short one for which to utilize
10000 cubic feet of gas.
Before getting away Mr.. Coey took
his mother and nearly fifty others up
on captive ascensions with half hum
bred willing men and boys hauling on
the drag rope. A hundred others were
anxious to go but conditions were IA
vorable for start shortly after 2
o'clock, and the balloon was weighed
off at 2:30. Nearly 900 pounds of pas
senger weight and 1850 pounds of bal
last made a load which brought favor
able comment on the quality of Los
Angeles gas from both the aeronauts.
1t was Mrs. Coey's first balloon trip,
and her friends had INDUCED in the
usual tales about the imaginary dam
gers of air Journeys. After the sensa-
tional accounts of the mountain trip
of the American they were all wager
ing that she would not make an Assem-
sion, but she was the most anxious
member Of the party to get away, and
now she is as enthusiastic an aeronaut
as her husband. She failed to exhibit
the slightest trace of fear, even when
the balloon dragged along the ground
or when it cut down a peach tree with
a trunk as big as ones wrist.
Mrs. Coey Not Scared
at wasn't scared" she said, as she
sat on the ballast sacks and watched
Captain Bumbaugh direct the packing
UP. "I had a great deal more fear
when I tok my first automobile ride.
Now 1 can see why persons who have
been UP in the air are SO enthusiastic
about it. The sensation was delightful,
and L want to go again. Id like to
take one of the long trips that are pos
sible in the center of the country. ]
never bothered about the thought OF
danger"
Nor did any other members of the
party. Ben E. Powers OF Los Angeles
was a bit dubious about baflooning be-
fore the Chicago's basket swung off the
ground, but from that moment he was
one of the 'balloonatics," as the ranch
ers who gathe around after the land
ing like to term them. The only other
passenger was The Herald's represen-
tative.
The Chicago was inflated on va
cant lot in East Hollywood. where the
high-pressure main made 1t possible to
fill the envelope in less than four hours.

CON TRACTS ARE LET
Supplies for the Local Post
Office for a Year Are
Secured.
MUNICIPAL PLANT LOSER

The contracts for furnishing sup
plies at the local postoffice during the
fiscal year, commencing July / have
been approved by the treasury Off
cials. One of the most unexpected
changes Is that the municipal light
plant was under bid by the Light,
Heat & Power company: The munich
pal plant has had almost an option on
the business of the office as 1t has
held the contract for several years.
Electricity is used at the post office
for operating the cancelling machine
and for light.
The coal contract to furnish 55 tons
of Pocohantas coal was let to Mather
Bros. The bids for the coal were
spirited and close. Owing to the fact
that there is but one ice company, the
contract for supplying ice was given
to the Rettig-Johnson company. There
were two groceries who were success
full in making contracts. one the Bee
hive grocery and the other the Hadley
Bros. grocery. D. w. Walters was
given the laundry contract.
The contract prices are not made
public by the government No ap-
preparation was made this year for
identifying the grounds around the
building. 1t was the original inten-
ton Of the department to have a
landscape gardner plant different
specimens of shrubery on the plot
south of the building
Another contract will be let by the
treasury department for the placing
of awnings at the southeast and west
windows OF the building. These will
be opened ADril 2.

Report for March Shows Total
Amount Permits Reach
$34, 100.
TWENTY-SEvEN PERMITS

The total cost of property to be
erected in the city during March was
$34,790 according to the values given
on the building permits But these
values are far from correct The
owners merely estimate the probable
cost and are not required to say how
near it is to the actual amount that
will be spent. Some times buildings
do not cost as much as the permit
states but far more often the cost is
in excess. There was a total OF
twenty-seven permits issued during
the month.
The four permits issued last were:
Timothy Harrington, North G aud
Tenth streets, frame, 31,4o0.

William l.. Boyd. South West Third
