VAN NUYS-LANKERSHIM
RANCHES SELL QUICKLY
Company Expects to Break Land
Selling Record

At o'clock yesterday afternoon a
statement was given out at the offices
of the Los Angeles Suburban Home
company that opening sales of the
Lankershim and Van Nuys ranch
would reach a much larger figure than
anticipated.
While indications led the company
to expect a big opening subscription it
was thought that many intending pur-
chasers might not be ready to make
definite selections until later in the
week.
At an early hour in the morning the
offices and corridor began to fill up
with people and throughout the day
the company's facilities were taxed to
the utmost.
1t was stated that the clerical force
would have to work late into the night,
as many of the sales were made out on
the ranch and many returns would not
be handed in by agents until or Z
o'clock.
The complete result of the opening
DAYS sale will be announced when all
returns are in and it Is thought the
total amount will establish new rec
ord for land selling.
The present sale will last but thirty
days, at which time the ranch VIII be
closed up while the grain crop is be-
ing harvested. Selling will reopen on
or about September 20.

LOWEST BIDDER FAILS
TO GET HOSE CONTRACT
Councilman Gregory Opposes the
Award Made for 10000
Feet of Hose

After about three months of adver-
tising for bids and readvertislng. con-
sidering and reconsiderng, the council
yesterday awarded the contract for
$4,000 feet of fire hose, apportioning the
ing five different brands.
The award is 5000 feet of overall
brand at 81 a foot 5000 feet of Paragon
at 81, 2000 feet A No. 1 multiple Jacket
at 90 cents, 1000 feet of diamond null
tple at 95 cents and 1000 feet of Bay
State at 30 cents This award was not
exactly in accordance with the recon-
mendation of the fire commission,
which suggested 5000 feet of overall and
1000 feet each of Paragon, A No. l and
Diamond Multiple, but 1t conforms so
closely that the fire commission is not
likely to object.
Councilman Gregory objected to the
award of the council and voted against
1t. He wanted the entire contract to
go to the lowest bidder, which was the
Eureka Rubber company, which offered
the Angelus brand at 65 cents foot.
Gregory called the attention of the
council to the fact that the cheaper
hose compiled with the specifications,
was warranted to stand a 400pound
pressure and was guaranteed for three
years. the same conditions governing
the higher priced hose; and he pointed
out that the difference in price between
the cheaper hose and the council award
was about $4,000.
Councilman Washburn voted for the
award. but said he did so reluctantly
because he knew nothing about it per-
sonally and was forced to abide entirely
by the recommendation of the supply
committee.

CAN COUNCIL FORCE GAS
COMPANY TO LAY MEINS?'
City Attorney to Pass on Question
Raised by Gregory

Can the city council force the gas
company to lay its mains wherever the
council elects? was the question Coun-
Gilman Miles S. Gregory asked of City
Attorney Hewitt yesterday and the
city attorney asked one week to con-
slider the matter.
The matter was brought up by the
petition of a disappointed property
owner, who said he had bought his
property with assurance from the Los
Angeles Gas and Electric corporation
that he would be connected as soon
as his house was built. The house is
built, but the gas company refuses
to connect because of some engineering
difficulty Gregory told the city attor-
ney that several similar petitions
would soon be presented, and he want
ed to know If the council had anN
power in the matter
Hewitt declared that the civil code
gave the council power to order con-
nections when mains We're within 150
feet of the property to be connected,
but further than that he was not pre-
pared to say.

SAN PEDRO NEWS MUST
ESTABLISH CIRCULATION

Before receiving the award for the
city printing the San Pedro News must
establish it's right to have the contract
by an action in court. This was the
decision of the council yesterday, and
the city clerk was instructed, to notify
the San Pedro News of this fact.
The News was the lowest bidder for
the city printing, offering to do the
work for 1872 cents an inch, against the
bid of the Los Angeles Journal for Is
cents. But as the News circulates only
In San Pedro, the council wants to be
sure it comes within the charter def
nitions of newspaper of general cir
culation.
Serious consequences would happen
II the citys ordinances we're not prop
erly published. As the proper publi-
cation is a portion of the process out
lined by state law for perfecting an
ordinance, such a measure not properly
printed would be invalid.

One Days
Business
Public Confidence Shown in the
Leading Building Company
293 Persons Bought Stock in the
Los Angeles Investment Co.
Tuesday, May 81

It is hard for the average person to
grasp the immense sum stated in the
reports of Los Angeles bank cearings
and totals of building permits; but 1t
is much easier to realize this activity
when one sees hundreds of persons
going in the same day to a building
company to buy an interest in 1t, this
confidence being the result of seeing
its immense building operations.
OF course there are but few COM
panies that have such remarkable
prosperity because there are but few
which base their operations on actual
ownership of land.
Standing in the lead of all the rest is
the Los Angeles Investment company
and it is to this corporation that we
referred above as having such an i'm
mense call on it by local and outside
investors.
An example of this popularity was
seen last Tuesday, on which day two
hundred and ninety-three different
persons bought stock in this company,
a good proportion of them stockhold-
ers who were so we'll satisfied with
the growth of the company and its
prompt and regular payment of divi,
dends that they added to their stock
holdings
DdllDg the month just closing two
hundred and thirty-siX new stock
holders entered that company, and the
total at present reaches 1888, a gain
of 2217 for the year.
Incidentally the cash income of the
company the same day was over $751;
200.
The business done in this day was
not greatly in advance of many other
days of the year, but it shows in no
uncertain way the state of public con-
fidence in the tangible assets and the
efficiency of the management, of the
company, which is now in its 18th
year under the same management.
People believe in what they see, and
it is very easy to visit the College
Tract, College Tract Annex. Derby
Park Tract, Western Ave. Square,
other large tracts which this company
is developing.
on the College group of tracts alone
over 200 houses have been erected and
about 45 are now in the process of
construction. Thousands of people
visit these tracts every month and see
the immense possibilities for growth
and gain and desire to secure a part
ownership in the company. This ac-
counts for the large number of new
stockholders every month
OF course this prosperity has led to
many imitators, a few of them being
on a firm financial basis and well man
aged and deserving of their prosper
ity There is room for all well inten-
toned and we'll managed business
enterprises and the Investment Com
pany welcomes just. legitimate COM

COUNCIL TO RECONSIDER
AGRICULTURAL PARK STRIP

The question of adding the strip OF
land adjoining Agricultural parK on te tne
south and extending from Figueroa
street to Vermont avenue Is to be re-
opened by the city council and hear
ing on the matter held before the pub
lie welfare committee.
The Santa Barbara Avenue Improve
ment association asked the council to
reconsider it's previous action in this
matter, when the council refused to
order the strip condemned, and Coun-
cilmen Williams and O'Brien, who are
familiar with conditions in that vicin-
ity, added their plea to the petition.
If this strip is condemned and added
to the park it will be at the expense
of the property owners in the same dis.
trict outlined for condemnations OF
other tracts of land to be added to
this park.

READY TO HEAR PROTESTS
AGAINST LIGHT ASSESSMENT

The assessment district for the orna-
mental lighting of Hill street from
First to Pico, and on Fifth, Sixth and
Olive streets around Central park is
ready for adoption by the city council,
but the interested property owners will
be given a time for protest. June 2S
was set as the date for these protest
ants to appear before the council and
say if they want to pay their share of
the cost.
AS the council has adopted the policy
of paying only one-eighth the cost of
the ornamental lights instead of one
half. as had been the custom, the coun-
ell awaits with some interest this first
legal protest under the new policy.
1t is not expected that the property
owners who pay for the ornamental
lights will feel so badly about the re-
duction in the citys apportionment
that they will let the streets go dark

The matter was referred to the sup
