HN HE month of April has marked an
other creditable epoch in Los An
n geles building operations, for
three very big permits are quite notic-
able among the many that have been
issued for the erection of buildings the
total valuation of improvements in
three weeks footing UP more than So
000, 900. The progressiVeness OF local
property owners in not hesitating 10
tear down old buildings and erect valu-
able new ones in their places has been
brought to the attention of other cities
throughout the entire United States,
and it can be truthfully stated that
these same Los Angelo owners wreck
structures that are better than the ones
that other cities point to with pride.
Nothing can bar the ever onward pro-
gressive movement that is in evidence
throughout this great metropolis of
Southern California.
A force of 290 men, not counting the
various superintendents, is diligently
at work on the site that will soon mark
the erection of the ten-story Alexan-
dria Annex, which, when completed,
will represent an expenditure of $l,04O-
900 and will be one of the finest build
ings of its kind in the country.
On March 10 of this year work of ex-
caVating was commenced, and to real
lZe the enormous amount OF pToSl eSS
made one only has to visit the lot on
Spring, between Fifth and Sixth streets.
The excavating will entail an expense
of S1S0,000 and is a credit to the en-
gineers and contractor. There will be
three floor levels beneath the curb line.
The ground has been taken out up to
the present time on three sides to a
depth of forty-six feet and ten inches,
nearly all the cement work and steel
trusses have been placed In the founda-
tions for the front wall and work on
the other sides is going along very fast,
so rapidly in fact that Contractor
Robert Jordan expects to complete his
contract ahead of time.
The front wall will be II feet and 10
inches wide at the base and will taper
TO 13 feet at the top. Big grillingers,
IS feet wide and q feet long, have been
built to keep the walls of the building
on the south I'm proper place. -Four
syphons are kept working day and
night to keep the water out of the ex-
cavations. A hugh derrick drops it's
box to the lower levels of the excava-
tions and then hauls up the dirt. In

NEW ENTERPRISE
IS S250,000 PLANT
Los Angeles Is Supply Depot for
Native Building Stone
and Marble

The Pacific Consolidated Stone COM
pany will build and equip between now
and January 1 next a plant in which
the product of its marble quarries at
Inyo, Cal, and its sandstone quarries
at Flaghtaff, Ariz., will be finished
ready to enter into building construc-
tion. The cost of the new plant will
be about $250,000. 1t will give employ
ment to about 200 skilled artisans
apart from the men employed In the
quarries, and will bring from $1,000
900 to $1,5O0,OOO annually to Los An
geles.
The fame of not only Inyo marble
but Arizona sandstone is spreading
and inquiries for prices multiply day
by day, many of the inquiries coming
from such distant points as Chicago,
Philadelphia and New York. In order
to meet the growing demand for the
marble and the sandstone the company
has decided upon the most modern
manufacturing plant possible and to
that end will send II. l.. Thornton, the
new general manager of the company,
east in a few days to select the very
latest in stone and marble manufac-
turing machinery with which to equip
the new plant
Mr.. Thornton for twenty years was
connected with the famous quarries of
Bedford, Ind, and in his time mas
built or helped to build some of the
finest buildings OH the American con-
tinent Under his management 1t is
believed the Inyo marble and Flagstaff
sandstone quarries will be brought to
the highest possible point of perfection
as producers.
Among the buildings in Los Angeles
which have been built from materials
from the Pacific Consolidated quarries
may be mentioned the new million
dollar federal building, the courthouse,
the city call, the Lankershim and Ger
main buildings and several others.
The postoffice in Sacramento the home
of the Oregonian in Portland, Browns
Palace hotel In Denver and countless
other buildings of note In many of the
leading cities of the country are also
built of stone from the Flagstaff quar-
ries and trimmed or decorated with
marble from the Inyo, Cal, quarries.
While the company has determined
upon a site for the proposed new plant
it will not disclose the location, except
to say that 1t is contiguous to all the
railroads entering the city, therefore
facilitating the shipment of the product
to all points of the compass.

ALL OLD RECORDS BROKEN

T VERY week the building history of

creasing force the amazing develop

the capacity of the many construction
companies and small builders is taxed
to the limit to meet the demands of the
property owners and progress.
All records in the improvement his
tory OF Los Angeles have been broken
by the amazing progress made for the
first three weeks in the month of April,
1910, greater than has ever been re-
corded for any full month since the

grow, which dates from 1898.
With only twenty-one days of April
gone into history, 1856 building permits
have been issued, as compared with
Total valuation for the 1910 period is
the splendid sum of $3,114,417, as

record for the three weeks in April is
more than an average of $1,000000 a
week, and sets a new mark in local
history. Included in this report is the
permit for the Alexandria hotel annex,
a $1,000, 900 improvement, and $4,000
for permits for smaller improvements.

book education that was ever put in
print! A great majority of girls come
from homes in which training in
home-making is utterly ignored or at
least neglected. The purpose OF the
school is the highest development
of the individual and any system of
education is incomplete that does not
see that the girl is fitted to reign in
the greatest institution on earth
the home. Domestic science teaches
the dignity Of labor. Our schools
have untitled many girls for domestic
work. The idea seems to prevail
that it is degrading and 20 the other
occupations for woman have been
overcrowded. Far too many girls
think that an education means nice
clothes, white hands and q freedom
from work. The teaching Of thii
subject overcomes this fallacy. Let
us have It.
