WORKS BOARD DEMANDS
EMPLOYEES GIVE BONDS
Heads Of City Departments Must
Have Financial Backing

Determined that lax bookkeeping
shall not make their bondsmen respon-
sible for possible money shortages the
board of public works has issued an
order that all the heads of departments
under their jurisdiction must give
bonds.
Nearly all the heads of departments
have been under bonds, but r. j. Palo-
mares. assessment clerk, and W. c..
Schreiber. clerk of the opening and
widening of streets, have been told to
provide themselves with sureties and
the bond of r, H. Manahan, city elec-
trician, has been increased from $1,000
to $4,000. Palomares must furnish $2bO0
and Schreiber $4,000. If they give surety
company bonds they must pay the
premium demanded from their own
salaries and at no expense to the city.
All these officials receive public
money. The electrician collects fees for
electrical permits. Palomares and
Sehreber receive money paid in for
street assessments.
While there has been no question or
the integrity of any of these men,
members of the board are responsible
for them and should there be any
shortage would have to make good
the amounts or the city could collect
from their bondsmen.

Municipal Affairs
CITY MUST LAY Pipes
OR LOSE BIC RESERVOIR
Mayor Warns Council That Land
Near EaStIake Park May Re-
vert to Former Owners

Unless the council can provide $4,000
for the park department to lay water
pipes to the old reservoir site north of
Eastlake park, the reservoir property
viii revert to the former owners, is
the substance of a message the mayor
has sent to the city council. The
mayor asked that this sum be pro-
vided, as the land is most valuable and
the city should not let 1t slip through
it's fingers so easily. He says:
THE property known as the old res
ervoir, located north of Eastlake park.
near the Indian village is held by the
city under a condition that, if it be
used for any other than reservoir pur-
poses, or If it be abandoned as a res
ervoir, it shall revert to the former
owners. This reservoir has been used
by the park department for the pur-
pose of collecting the storm water of
that vicinity and using 1t for park pur-
poses This storm water has not been
sufficient to keep the reservoir in use
the year round. AT the present time 1T
is practically dry and the former own
ers or their successors in interest are
now claiming an abandonment on the
part of the city.
"In order to hold the property it
is necessary for the city to keep the
reservoir in use, and this may be done
by utilizing the waste water or over
flow from the pipes of the water de-
partment at North Main and Gates
streets. In order to obtain this over
flow water it will be necessary for the
park department to lay pipes from the
point to this old reservoir, a distance of
about 5000 feet. The estimated cost
of this work is $4,000. AS this old res
ervoir is of great value to the parks,
I would respectfully reccommend that
your honorable body provide FUNDS Tor
the laying of this pipe.'

ARCHITECTS NOT IN FAVOR
OF HIGHER BUILDINGS

Protest against any action of the
council in increasing the height of
buildings was registered yesterday by
the Southern California chapter of the
American Institute of Architects, The
resolution adopted by that body recites
that such an amendment is calculated
only ito satisfy the greed of private
individuals at the expense of the well
fare of the community"
This matter will come before the
council at it's meeting next Tuesday,
and against the protests, several of
which have been filed, will be petitions
signed by most of the prominent men
in the Los Angeles business world
asking that the height of buildings be
increased to permit Hulett c, Merritt
to build his marble memorial building
at Eighth and Broadway.

Most Important That You Drink
PurltaS Distilled Water at
This Time of the Year
At No Time Are Natural Waters
More Liable to Impurity Than
During the Fall
Here Are Some of the Reasons for 1t

Here Are Some Of the Reasons for 1t
During the fall and early winter in
Southern California you ought to avoid
drinking the natural waters. At no
time is their liability to impurity so
great. This can be readily seen.
If the rains have not yet come, the
streams are running at their lowest
Flowing through an alkaline soil. they
take UP large amounts of this mineral
matter. Then, too. the decaying veg
etable matter of summer impregnates
the whole stream.
If the rains have come. then the con-
dition is even worse, for the rain has
washed the soil--dry through so many
months, and the impurities thus washed
away are in the streams-and many of
them are of such a character that no
mechanical device will rid the water
of them.
Good judgment indicates Puritas
Distilled Water as the ideal drinking
water the year round. Especially is
Puritas necessary during the fall and
winter Puritas is absolutely pure
water. When you drink Puritas you
need have no fear of the evil effects
of mpurties-mineral, vegetable and
bacterial-so generally found in natural
sources of supply.
We distill Puritas twice-double dis
tillation is essential to water purity.
We aerate it with pure ozone-secured
by passing a current of electricity
through filtered air. We bottle Puritas
in clean, glass demijohns-it reaches
you with all it's wholesome purity in
tact.
Puritas is easy to secure and very
inexpensive. Five gallons cost but 40c,
delivered within the old city boundary
lines. At outside points the cost is q
trif1e more, owing to the long haul.
Regular Puritas customers purchase
Coupon Books, thus securing the pure
water at a discount. When you tele-
phone, ask us about them. Home 10053
Sunset, Main S191.
Puritas can be secured through deal
ers, in most towns in Southern Cali
fornia. If you are unable to find it
readily, do not accept any substitute.
Just communicate with us and we will
see that you are supplied with Puritas.

EXHIBIT Of AMERICAN
ETCHINGS GRATIFYING
Display of Prints at Friday Morn
ing Club Notable Artistic
Achievement

The exhibition of American etchings
which opened yesterday afternoon at
the Friday Morning club house is one
of the most ambitious and successful
efforts along artistic lines ever achieved
here Members of the committee-Miss
Olive Percival, it's head. Mrs. Thomas
Allan Box and Miss Florence Moore
have been unceasing in their endeaVor,
and the result is eminently gratifying
Many pictures are shown which have
not been seen in the west before, and
some of the older and more familiar
prints are given additional interest and
value by reason of the possibilities for
comparison afforded by the entire col
lection.
The Whistler group is of great inter-
est to all visitors, and the committee
in charge of the exhibit is delighted
with the characteristic representation
of the works of this artist. There are
fifteen pictures from his pen and two
prints which are especially good are
1.-THE Lime Burner and "Rotherithe.
"Bibi Ialouette" is another one of this
number which makes an instant appeal
to the observer.
Joseph PennelI, the greatest living
etcher, is represented by about a score
of Dictures, which include the famous
New York series, 1905; Illustrations OF
the Spanish series; the LONDON series,
1891: the London series, 1906, and three
from the Pittsburg series, 1909.
Charles A. Platt. New Yorker,
shows a number of illustrations Of the
Atlantic seaboard. and two which are
considered among the best examples OF
his work are "Rue de Mont Cenis,"
"Monmartre" and Under the POnt Ma
rie. Paris"
The thumbnail sketches of Donald
Shaw Mclaughlin also attract much
interest. His horse pictures, of which
there are two, the Mill of St Maurice
and the "Two Thatched Cottages and
some ten or a dozen others all form a
distinctive group in the auditorium.
One of the most beautiful and effect
i've scenes of New York is by L. A.
Smith. one of the youngest men in this
work. His pictures show the Plaza no
tel from the park, and gives it almost
the appearance of a magnificent Italian
palace.
Ernest D. Roth, also a young man,
shows two pictures of italian water
scenes, and Herman a. webster Is
represented by one picture.
The Friday Morning club acknoWl-
edges Indebtedness for the loan of this
collection to Mrs. Allen c. Balch, Harry
Van Dyke, Frederick Keppel and
Messrs. Vickrey, Atkins and Torrey.

STEWART OFFERS A NOVEL
INDUSTRIAL TANGLE PLAN
Each Member of Committee to
Write His Own Report

Councilman G. H. Stewart, chair
man of the public welfare committee.
yesterday suggested a novel method
of settling the industrial district dis
putes.
The matter of establishing these dis
tricts has been before the committee
almost since the councils election,
but no definite conclusion has been
reached. Every member of the COM
mittee has a different view of the sub
iect and Mr.. Stewart proposes hat
each of the three members shall sub
NIT his plans in report to be written
by himself.
These reports are to be ready by
next Monday and if any two of them
agree those two shall be considered
the report of the committee. If no
two of them agree, which is more
likely to be the case, all three are to
be submitted to the council Tuesday
and the council told to take it's choice.

Mr.. Wilder then turned the flag
over to Capt. f. A. Spear, its custo-
dian, who in few words in behalf
of Mrs Dewey, presented the flag to
the company. Capt. Hadley Spear

Shakespearean Recital.

Mr.. Hannibal Williams, the we'll
known Shakespearean reader, has
been engaged by the senior class of
the high school for recital at the
assembly hall on the evening of
Wednesday, Oct. 10. He will read
julius Caesar, and those who heard
him in Henry Nv. here last winter
are assured of most entertaining
and successful recital.
The recital is given for the benefit
of the senior class, which is raising
money for graduation expenses, and
the excellence CT the entertainment
as well as the object should make a
strong appeal to the people of Wood
stock.
Prof. Charles F. Richardson of
Dartmouth college says -
Mr.. Hannibal A. Williams read
ing in this college, on the evening of
Dec. 6. '09, was intelligent, we'll
balanced, and profitable to all it's
hearers. Without the slightest strain
ing after effect, Mr.. Williams pre-
sented the several characters in a
saliently dramatic form, and his i'm
personation of Falstaff, in particular,
was one that illuminated the part"
Professor Craven A. Laycock of
Dartmouth writes
II can unreservedly commend Mr..
Hannibal A. Williams. He gives an
artistic Interpretation of Shakes
peare's plays, and in faultless TASTE"
