NORTHWEST DISTRICT
GROWS IN POPULARITY

That the northwest hills are fast
coming into favor for residence pur-
poses is demonstrated by the many new
houses located all the way from Ange-
leno Heights to the city limits.
The improvement of Sunset boule-
ward, now under way, is giving an I'M
petus to realty in the northwest.
In the Elysian Heights section, north
of the boulevard, a dozen new houses
can be counted.
West of Alvarado are several sight
ly tracts dotted with new residences or
piles of brick and lumber, and several
close in tracts are likewise scenes of
activity.

case, and besides these witness

and Road Maintaining should
First Learn What Types Of
Highways are Best Suited to
Tral and. Climatic Conditions.
Logan Waller Page, Director
of the Office of Public Roads of
the u. S. Department of Agri.
culture, has appeared before
State legislatures and county
boards in various sections of the
country during the past few
months in response to Invitations
to tell what methods are best for
obtaining funds for road con
struction ard how the roads
should be maintained after they
have once been secured.
AT the present time there are
two principal methods of raising
funds for these purposes, but
Director Page believes that be-
fore plans are sci on foot for
raising funds, much should be
sid regarding the manner in
which such funds should be ex-
pended. If the voters of coun.
ty show readiness to spend a
generous sum in improving their
roads, it is of paramount impor-
nce>to them to first ascertain
what class of roads should be
constructed
1t should not be assumed that
simply because county owns
quarries from which trap or
limestone rock can be secured
that the expensive macadam
road must necessarily be built.
The qualifications of any rock
cannot be definitely decided upon
until laboratory tests have been
held. Much money has been
almost thrown away in this
country, however, on the con-
struction of rock.surfaced roads,
those having the construction in
charge neglecting to call in the
services of expert chemists, and
using rock totally unsuited to
their traffic or climatic condi
tions. In many, many cases,
the results were disastrous, the
roads quickly raveling and going
to pieces because the cementing
value was lacking.
A county which shows suffi
cient progress to bond itself in
a liberal amount for the purpose
of securing improved roads
should keep its money intact
until it's officers have learned ex.
actly what class of roads will
best meet its req uirements what
type of road it is best qualified
to construct and what it can best
afford. Those facts can be se-
cured through the aid Of the Ma
tional Government, the office OF
public roads standing ready to
give gratuitous advice and to
supply skilled highway engin-
eers who are qualified TO tell
what type OF highway would best
meet that county's requirements
and to demonstrate those deeis-
ions by supervising the building
of stretches of model highways,
after which local officials may
take pattern.
Wide-awake State and county
officials are now showing the
liveliest appreciation OF the re-
suits which follow visit by
these skilfnl man. and the de-
