RIVERSIDE NEWS

RIVERSIDE, June pa long confer
ence was held this morning by the city
council and j. c. Avakian, president of
the Riverside Groves and Water COM
pany, relative to the construction of a
sewer through the company's lands and
the making of an artificial lake. The
outfall sewer has been hung up some
time through injunction proceedings of
the company; but after a long confer
ence it seems likely that the city and
land company will get together, the
suit be dismissed and the land compa-
ny given permission to construct a
Il, 900, ,000-g gallon reservoir on it's lands
near the Santa Ana river.
Announcement was made today of
the purchase of a site for a polytech-
mic high school, to be built by the city

bought from j. A. Woodman and ample
grounds secured for baseball and ten

We ought to own all the water because
it is right and just that the city should

to the city.
Il have read your letter over care

DIRECTORS OF SHOE FACTORY
DENY RUMORS OF WITHDRAWAL

VENICE, June 22.-Considerable dis
cussion has been created by the pub
lished statement that the machinery of
the Venice shoe factory is being shipped
away and that the factory will close
for all time.
Directors of the enterprise announce
today that this is not a fact, and that
the machinery in question is only a
small part of the plant, being machines
of a style which the mandatory has
not had use for and was therefore use
less to them. They state that they have
a full complement of Goodyear welt ma
chimes and that these are all that are
needed.
Manager Billings states that the fac
tory will be ready to resume operations
at an early date when they will again
be able to supply the trade. 'The state
ment that we bought our material east
is erroneous" he said. "As matter of
fact we puchase 80 per cent of what we
use on this coast and will continue to
do so. We have plenty of experienced
help ready to go to work for us as soon
as we are ready and will put out as
heretofore an article which practically
sells itself. In fact we have never been
able to supply our trade to the full ex-
tent of the orders"

SANTA FE TO MAKE CHANGES
IN MECHANICAL DEPARTMENT

SAN BERNARDINO, June pa re-
port has reached this city of an i'm
pending change in the method of su-
perTising the mechanical department of
the Santa Fe on this division.
Master Mechanic 1. c. Hicks will be
transferred to Los Angeles and posi-
tion of superintendent of shops, similar
to that in vogue at the. Topeka and
Albuquerque shops. instituted. H. S.
Wall, present master mechanic of the
Arizona division at Needles, will be
brought to this city to fill the new
office, while he will be succeeded by
l.. A. Mattimore, general foreman of
the shops at Needles.
The new system is simply in line
with the immense amount of improve
ment work which is to be undertaken
in the near future by the mechanical
department in this city, and which will
make it necessary for the constant
supervision of the head of the shops.
Mr., Hicks, as master mechanic, will
then be able to devote more of his
time to the other shops on the divi-
sion, but still retains authority over
the entire division, including the San
Bernardino shops, although the direct
supervision of the latter will be passed
to the new superintendent.
