CITY URGED TO ACT
As TRAP ROCK BROKER
Feasibility of Buying, Storing and
Selling Commodity Is Be-
ing Discussed

Can the city go into the business
of buying and selling rock7 If there
is no legal objection to it and the
finance committee will support the
project, w. M. Humphreys, chief in
spectOr of public works, is certain that
thousands of dollars can be saved
every year in the cost of street inn
proVements
Los Angeles street contractors have
been facing a rock famine for several
months This has become such a Sc
rious matter that the cost of street
improvements has advanced materially
and the inspector of public works has
been casting about for a remedy Con-
tractors declare they have to pay $2.25
to $3.50 a ton for crushed rock laid
down in Los Angeles, which Is almost
double the aIpount that it cost for
merly. The railroads are partially
blamed for this increase, as they re-
Gently raised the freight on rock from
80 to 60 cents a ton.
In his effort to find a remedy Mr
Humphreys and city Engineer Hamlin
went 10 Corona and Riverside Thurs
day and Friday and inspected rock
quarrieS.
They found excellent rock in the
uuarries of the Fairchild-Gilmore-W VIII
ton company at Corona and the river
side Cement company at Riverside
They were assured that If rock was
purchased In large quantities a ma
terial reduction I'm the price would be
made and Mr.. Humphreys Is confident
that on large quantities the city could
get. the same rate as the county pays,
Sc cents q ton.
Mr.. Humphreys idea is that the city
should establish bunkers and purchase
the rock in quantities of 10000 or 40
900 tons at a time and sell 1t to the
contractors. A saving of about cents
q ton could be made, Mr.. Humphreys
estimates
The chief inspector will take the
matter up with the city attorney and
learn If the city has the authority to
go into the rock business and VIII push
the matter to conclusion If the city
has the right and he can secure sup
port from the council

Grain Rates from
Nebraska Points
toOmaha Reduced
Commission Orders Cut in Charges
from Stations on Burlington
and Union Pacific.
(From a staff Correspondent


LINCOLN, May 2.-(Special.) 1.-The State
Railway commission has issued an order in
the complaint of the Omaha Grain exchange
against the Burlington and Union Pacific
railroads, by which the exchange sought
to have the rates to Omaha on corn and
grain so reduced that It would be placed
on an equality with Kansas City, which
has a differential rate of to cents per
100 pounds to the south and southwest.
The order reduces the rate on corn and
grain and grain products taking the corn
rate. but suggests to the exchange that 1t
should go before the Interstate Commerce
commission in the matter of the dlfferental
in favor of Kansas City to southern points,
The exchange of Omaha asked practically
that grain shipments to these two cities be
placed on the mileage basis, but while rec
ognizing the distance Is a factor in the
making of rates, as that is a question to be
decided in another case wherein the COM
mission is TO promulgate a rate classified
ton, this question was not passed on. The
commission, however, said the showing
made was sufficient to demonstrate that
the rates complained of are excessive, and
ordered a reduction ranging from 1 cent
to 1s8 cents. The action was brought by
the exchange because of a reduction in
rates put into effect by both roads to Kan
sas City.
The rates promulgated by the commission
are as follows:
