Municipal Affairs
COUNTS MILLIONS TO
RELIEVE HIS MIND
AUDITOR FINDS RECREATION
IN TREASURY
Mushet Takes Brief Respite from Vex-
ing PayroIIs and Handles
$4,333, $40 in Gold, Sill
yer and Bills

Not every one around the city hall
earns his salary, but this does not APP
ply to the city auditor or any of his
deputies. Pay day is next Tuesday
and the pay rolls for the month are at
hand. The pay rolls for the city proper
alone would keep the auditors office
busy, but in addition there is the pay
roll for the aQueduct department.
There are over 1000 names on this
aqueduct pay roll. During the month
$4,000 was paid out to Workmen who
wished to quit and move on and this
complexities the regular pay roll. The
pay roll for the month foots up
$751;, 685. If it was a mere matter Of
giving each man the amount of money
he has earned during the month this
pay roll could be handled much easier.
But this is not the case.
Many of the men go to the aqueduct
without a penny in their pockets. They
receive meal tickets and supplies from
D. j. Desmond and these all have to
be deducted from their wages. This
adds to the detail of the work. The
men are paid bonuses. In the tunnels
and other places where the bonus sys-
tenn can be made to apply, a certain
amount is required for a days work.
All over that amount is paid for at
the rate of 25 cents a foot. There is
duct that does not make a bonus
sometime during the month and this
must all be figured and added to the
pay roll Mr.. Mushet will not trust
the figures of the aqueduct clerks, but
goes over the work himself.
He was in the midst Of this work
yesterday when a great yearning came
to him for recreation. He felt the need
of a change of scene. He went over
to the city treasurer's office and
counted the money in the vaults.
There was $4,833, 34O.14. Mr. Mushet
counted all this money, down to the
very last penny, as it is his duty to
do. Four millions, eight hundred and
thirty-three thousand, three hundred
and forty dollars and fourteen cents
was mere bagatelle to Mr.. Mushet.
Tt refreshed him greatly and he re-
turned to his own Office ready to tackle
those immense complicated pay rolls.

FORESTS YIELD
LARGER PROFIT
CONSERVATION OF U.S.TIMBER
Is BENEFICIAL
LUMBER PRODUCED SHOWS GAIN
OF 1o2 PER CENT
Economical Methods of Cutting Give
Reward by Increase of PRODUCE
tiVeness and Better Use of
Tree Tracts

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. - Uncle
Sans national forests yielded an in
crease of IL per cent in timber last year
over the record for 1907, giving returns
of 49,027.24 to the government Twen-
ty-five per cent of this amount went
back to the states in which the forests
are located in lieu of taxes, in accord
ance with the provisions of the law.
This revenue will be added to the
states fund for the support and main
tenance of roads and public schools
The amount of timber cut from ali
the national forests is 1872, 792, 900 feet,
board measure, as against 1874, 81, 900
feet in the previous year. This figure
for 1908 does not include the 49, ASP 900
feet given away to settlers, schools and
churches under free use'' permits. This
increase of 102 per cent shows a far
better use and increasing productive
ness of the forest under conservative
methods of cutting. There was a
marked increase in small sales last
year, resulting in an increase of 236
per cent in the number of sales, not
withstanding the fact that the timber
contracted for was far less in the ag-
gregate than in 1907.
In making timber sales the forest
service seeks small in preference to
large sales, and aims to safeguard a
supply for future needs rather than to
swell the immediate receipts. Were it
desired, the present receipts from tim
Der sales could be quickly doubled.
During the year it was found neces-
sary in the interest of a continued sup
ply to restrict sales on many forests
Nevertheless, use of the national for
ests as source of timber supply was
more general than ever before.
The total receipts from timber sales
each year have been as follows: 1905
$50, 1862; 1906, $245, 013.49; 1907 S66S,
Sf3.12; 1908, $849, 027.24.
Payment for timber is always re-
CURED in advance. In large sales, how
ever, and in small sales on occasion,
payment is made in installments SO
arranged as to protect the government
against loss without imposing unneces-
sarily severe burdens upon the pur-
chaser. Thus the receipts of each year
represent substantially, but not exact
ly, the value of the timber sold and
removed during that year.

within the next two or three days.
This information was brought by Will
liam Mulholland, chief engineer of the
aqueduct, on his return from a trip
along the line of the big conduit yes
terday.
The delay in starting the mill has
been occasioned by the failure of the
contractors to deliver the structural
iron for the building. The preliminary
work of crushing rock and drying clay
has been carried on for some time and
a large quantity of the material is
ready for use as soon as a roof can be
put over the kilns. The cost of the
cement plant will be less than $3.50, 900,
the estimate fixed by the city's cement
expert.

STREET LIGHTS PLACED
IN ANNEXED TERRITORY
Shoestring District Will BE Lighted
with Thirty-fiVe Lamps-Resi-
dents to Tell Wants to
Board

The annexed territory, including the
shoestring strip, is realizing something
for its investment of 100000 in taxes.
Men were put to work in the district
yesterday placing thirty-five lights
where they would do the most good.
AS soon as the roads will permit the
running of automobiles the board OF
public works will go to Gardena and
determine what is most wanted in the
way Of public improvements in that dis
trict. A meeting will be arranged with
the people of the shoestring strip where
they can state their wants.
The board of public works is really
anxious to do something for the prop
erty owners in the annexed territory
and will see that a proper share of the
tax money paid in from that district
is returned in improvements.

GRAPE PRODUCTION
INCREASED MILLIONS
EXPERIMENTS ARE VALUABLE
TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Plans Perfected Whereby Finer Quail
ties of Spanish Variety Can
Be Raised and Sent
to Market

PASADENA, Jan. 29.-Two million
dollars a year is the value TO Cali
fOrnia placed on the experiments OF
the United States agricultural depart
ment experimentors who have been
in this city for the past four years
conducting a series of Investigations
into the packing and cold storage OF
the finer quality of grapes.
Today these men, who are A. "
Studenrauch and George Hosford, gave
out a statement in which they say they
have solved the problems upon which
they have been at. work, and that in
manner which will permit the grape
growers Of Southern California to grow
the better kinds of Spanish grapes
heretofore impossible of being raised
successfully because there was no way
to get the grapes uninjured to the
eastern markets.
Not only that, but the experiments in
packing and cold storage have shown
that by the new methods of handling
and packing devised the grapes can
be kept in cold storage for any rea-
sonable length of time and placed puon
the market whenever desired.
The men have worked in overcoats
in a room of the Pasadena cold
storage plant for years in a tempera-
ture never greater than 80 degrees
above ZerO.I grapes OF every va
riety, handled in many ways, have
been studied under all sorts of con-
ditions and with a success which has
practically solved the problems of
transportation.
Most of the injury to the grapes has,
according to Mr.. Stubenrauch, come
from mold which developed two or
three days after the fruit was packed
under the old methods, and usually at
the point where the stem joins the
grape itself.
Sixteen Varieties Nsed
Sixteen different varieties, most of
them from the Tulare experimental
station. were secured for the purposes
of the investigation, and as the use Of
cork dust, such as the Spanish grow
ers use in packing their product meant
the importation Of dust, the expert
mentors tried different kinds of wood
dust.
Most useful for their purpos ewas the
dust Of the redwood, which was found
to be even better than the cork. The
delicate Verbal grape, which will only
keep month in ordinary crates and
but little over three months in cork,
was lifted from this redwood packing
after 100 days in excellent condition.
The Almeria grape, imported into
America in large quantities. will keep
