HOPKINS HEARS PROTEST
FROM ORANGE GROWERS
Proposed Increase in Assess
ments Discussed; Some
Changes Probable

A delegation Of orange growers from
the eastern part of the county called on
County Assessor Hopkins yesterday to
make a formal protest against any
undue raise I'm the assessments of orange
lands over the figures of last year.
The protest was the result of meet
ing of orange growers held at Covina,
where resolutions were adopted setting
forth that as an increase of from 100
to 300 per cent in the valuation of
orange groves was contemplated by the
county assessor, a protest should be
made unless the raise is uniform on all
property and in proportion to the
figures placed on like property in other
counties.
Assessor Hopkins made statement
to the orange growers regarding the
proposed raise and went over the
features of the raise made by the state
board Of equalizers last year. As the
result Of the visit Of the delegation.
Assessor Hopkins probably will make
some changes in his valuation figures.
He will adhere, however, to his general
purpose of making an entirely new
valuation this year, Independent OF
former assessments.
The delegates who visited him were
George ID. Whitcomb of Glendora, |. II.
Mulholland of Glendora, G. N. Atwood
of Covina, John Scott Of Duarte, j. L.

Municipal Affairs
PIONEERS WANT NAME
OF STREET CHANGED
Council Hears Clash Over Peti'
ton to Discontinue North
Broadway Designation

Sentiment clashed with practicability
in the hearing before the streets ana
boulevards committee yesterday to
change the name of North Broadway
back to Downey avenue and Buena
Vista street
A petition that the old name be Civ
en- back to the streets was presented
to the council and the committee asked
to investigate. The petition was sign
ed by many. but most of the Signers
were pioneers, Native Sons and others
interested in the historic old names
from a sentimental point, while large
number of property owners on the
streets wanted the name of North
Broadway retained. AS the property
owners pay the taxes on the street
they believed they had a prior right to
have their wishes considered.
It was stated that 1t is the intention
to continue tho name of North Broad
way on a boulevard that will connect
Los Angeles and Pasadena so there
can be travel between the two cities
over one street.
Pioneers and Native Sons wanted the
name of Downey avenue retained. They
told how the street had been named
after Governor Downey and how much
he had done for California and espe-
eially Los Angeles.
The committee took the matter un-
der adViSemenl.

COUNCIL ASKED TO VOTE
BIG PURCHASE OF HOSE

Fourteen thousand feet of fire hose
is the quantity the fire commission
recommends the city council purchase
on the bids submitted last Tuesday.
The commission suggests the purchase
of 5000 feet of overall hose at 81 a
foot from tho Voorhees, Rubber com
pany and 5000 feet of A. No. / at 10
cents a foot from the New Jersey Car
Spring and Rubber company. But the
commission wants $4,000 feet more, and
sent recommendation to the council
that this quantity be purchased If 1t is
possible to do so.
Chief Todd reported to the commits
sion yesterday that the $4,000 feet for
which bids were received last Tuesday
was asked by former Chief Lips more
than year ago and that on account of
the delay in the purchase the depart"
ment is without II single reserve length
in stock. Much of tn hose In use Is old
and leaky and cannot stand strong
pressure, and two new companies have
been organized and equipped since the
hose was asked for.
He declared that 49, 900 feet is needed
to replace worn hose and provide tire
proper equipment of the engine COM
panies and the stock room.

Investors Rejoice Over
Increased Earnings
Success OF Local Concern
Shown in Dividends

The record of growth in building in
Los Angeles is shown in so many
ways, aside from the reports of the
building department, that the reports
of financial and building institutions
are expected to disclose prosperity
There are many cases of extraordin-
ary profits accruing from individual
transactions, where large amounts are
involved, but perhaps the truest meas
ure of the city's development comes in
the statements of some of the estab-
lished building oncerns-companies
engaged in constructing homes.
THE Home Builders" as an illustra-
tion of Los Angeles growth is perhaps
one of the most characteristic, because
of the stable character of the institu-
ton and it's steadily increasing pros
perity.
This institution, which started two
years ago with $3.50 resources, has
grown to a gigantic concern with
nearly $780, 900 resources and over $780,
900 surplus. The personnel of this
splendid home building organization is
one of its strongest factors It's affairs
are governed by board of some 15
business and professional men who are
the very soul of honor, and whose sa-
gacity and acumen are recognized in
the financial and business world.
They adopted the plan in the very
beginning of building only such homes
as they had first sold-thcy sell these
homes on easy payments, and the fact
of their having constructed about a
hundred homes in the short space Of
two years is evidence of their correct
view of safety to their shareholders
being winning one in point of volume
as well as profit.
The Ninth Quarterly Dividend Of this
company which will soon be paid, Of
3Is per cent for the quarter-or IA per
cent per year on the par value of their
stock, is proof of success as a money
maker and announcement has been
made that, beginning with May /, this
dividend is to be increased to 16 per
cent on par value OF shares, payable
per cent each quarter. This fine earn
ing power and over 100000 in the sur
plus, is good proof Of their soundness.
Home Builders are now located on
the ground floor of the Mason Opera
House building. 129 South Broadway,
and the expanding business of the in
stitution Is liable to call for more room
than they have even there.

COUNCIL SHORT HANDED,
DOUBLES ON COMMITTEES

With only seven of the nine members
left in the city council committees are
forced to work short-handed to such an
extent that by shifting seats one com
mittee composed of the same men may
become an entirely different committee.
This was shown yesterday when the
streets and boulevards committee re-
solved itself into the bridge committee
The streets committee had heard a
number of important matters with
Miles S. Gregory. chairman of the COM
mittee presiding. After the streets
committee had concluded, the bridge
committee had to consider the new
concrete bridge. and Gregory changed
seats with O'Brien, who is chairman of
the bridge committee and member Of
the streets committee. Had there been
any occasion for the water supply COM
mittee to meet. Andrews the other
member of the streets and bridge com
mittee, would have taken the chair
and presided over Gregory and O'Brien,
who are members of the water COM
mittee

No. Is, severed his connection with the
fire department yesterday. The COM
mission promptly accepted the resigna-

COUNCIL MAY BRAND
OIL PLANT NUISANCE

If the citv council has the power TO
declare the oil pumping station of the
Union Oil company at Second and
Reaudry a nuisance, the street and
boulevards committee will probably
recommend that 1t be done. Such, IN
effect was the decision of the commit
tee yesterday when IT referred the
matter to the city attorney for re-
port on the powers of the council IN
this particular.
Propertv owners affected by the
humping plant have asked that 1t be
forced TO move somewhere else. Rep
resentatives of the company showed
the committee that 1t was almost es-
sential that a pumping plant be main
tanned and declared 1t was diserimina-
tion against them to force them 70
move when others were permitted to
exist in other portions of the city.

ENGLISH SPARROW is MENACE
So Regarded by Minnesota State En-.
tomoIogist Because 1t Destroys
Much Farm Produce.

The English sparrow is looked upon
by the Minnesota state entomologist
at the experiment station as a menace
to farmers, not only destroying grain,
but also driving away useful birds
The division of entomology suggests
that very humane way of destroying
them is to feed them wheat for a few
morning In the winter, in a straight
line, in yard or field, and when the
birds have become accustomed to the
system to rake the line with a gun
loaded with fine shot Wheat, 1t has
been said, may be soaked in whisky
and eaten by the sparrows inducing
such intoxication that they may be
picked up and killed. Destroying
sparrows' nests several times in sue
cession, as they were built, has dis
couraged nesting in the locality. De-
struction by means of active poisons
is not recommended by the division
because the dead birds are eaten by
cats, poultry, etc. The entomologist
has discouraged their roosting during
the winter under the caves of his
own home and defIling the building,
by the use of a small collecting pistol
of fine shot, shooting them of their
perches at dusk.
