bonds"

every alternate section OF land within IN.
twenty miles of their. right of way Ior
agricultural purposes, the grant speci-
fving that title to lands so taken up
should be vested In the corporations
for agricultural purposes alone
CLAIMS UNDER MINING LAWS
Robertson and his associates claim
title to the property through locatlons
under the placer mining laws slVIls
them the right to drill for oil on the
lands involved. They seek TO nave tne
railroad company's grant forfeited on
the ground that the lands are mlneral-
bearing and not solely agricultural:
Much of the land is now held by the
Kern Trading and Oil company, which
is made a co-defendant In the actlon
brought. against the Southern Pacihc,
and the relation of the Kern company
to the railroad company is one of the
issues to be decided in the case.
The first move was the Introduction
by the Southern Pacific some time ago
of a demurrer to the complaint, ana
1,astardav was confined to arguments
on 1t. Both sides in the case, as well
as the government, are represented py

Charges for Delivery

Another change that is going into
effect is in the deliveries. There Will
be no more free delivery" OF course,
as a matter of fact, there never mas
been any "free delivery nor is any
we'll maintained concern giving free
delivery"
Delivery in a city as large as Los
Angeles is a tremendous expense. To
meet it the goods offered are priced
accordingly. You do not see what por-
ton of the price charged is due to the
delivery expense-but the charge is
there just the same. For merchants
cannot do business at a loss and still
stay in business. The Newberry plan
will include a fair charge for delivery
OF course, If you go to the store and
take your goods with you, you will not
have to pay this at all-you will effect
the largest possible saving. If you do
have your goods delivered you will still
save money, for you will be buying at

COUNCIL AND SCHOOL BOARD
Ar ODDS OVER ASSESSMENT

Two propositions presented to the coun-
ell by the board of public works that VIII be
coldly received today. They are for appro-
priations from the general expense fund for
improvement assessments against school
property.
one is for 1885, 70, the assessment against
school property in the Tenth street sewer dis
trict and the other is for $500 assessment
against the Improvement OF Loreto street:
Tie council has taken the attitude that the
school department can pay its own assess
ments and the school department has taken
the attitude that 1t won't do anyhing or the
kind.
In the long run, 1t is said the property own
ers in the assessment districts where these
controversies have occurred are the real
losers.

NEW CAR ROUTING PLAN
AWAITS ARRIVAL OF STEEL
Los Angeles Railway Corporation
PoStponeS Work for Week

On account of the fact that some special
steel crossings, which were to have been in
stalled at Sixth and Figueroa streets to ac-
commodate narrow-gauge cars at that point,
did not arrive as scheduled, the announced
rerouting of the West Second and West
Sixth street lines Of the Los Angeles Rail-
way corporation had to be postponed one
week The new routing of the cars, which
will give belt service and unite the West
Second and West Sixth street lines, will go
into effect next Sunday.
The peculiar situation Of the tracks at
Sixth and Figueroa streets and the jog in
Sixth street at that point made it necessary
to send east and have the required crossing
constructed.

A New and Just Credit Plan

The first change will be the doing
away with old credit methods. Goods
will be sold for cash, and for cash only.
OF course, you can have charge ac-
count at Newberrys if you wish 1t.
But you must deposit the money IN
advance and your purchases, as made,
will be charged against this balance.
Interest will be paid on the money on
deposit-at A per cent, figuring on your
withdraw YOUR funds at any time
and you need trade at Newberry's just
as much as you wish, and no more.
Everybody with any business eX-
perience will realize what a big saw
ing a cash business effects over
credit business. Credit extended under
old methods means a certain percent
age of loss often a heavy percentage
Prices of goods have to be figured,
therefore, to cover such a loss. And
whether you pay cash or deal on
credit you pay the credit cost rms is
unfair to many, but old methods have
necessitated it.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-29

The Newberry plan is already sue
cess. Women all over Los Angeles

which no change will be in force. the
