Mayor Asks Writers to Avoid Over
STATING EarfhnuaLo Efoots

Mayor Asks Writers to Avoid Over
stating Earthquake Effects
Asking all who write to outsiders
to tell the truth regarding the earth
quakes in Los Angeles recently, and
declaring that exaggeration will
work harm to the city, Mayor Snyder
today issued the following statement:
ITO those romantic persons who en-
joy telling Of their alleged hairbreadth
escapes in earthquakes which they
magnify for effect, wish to give
kindly advice.
Don't let your imagination make
you objects Of ridicule. Don't wire
or write to the folks back in your ma
tive haunts ridicolously exaggerated
accounts Of earthquakes here. When
you send out such stuff you are GER
tain to hurt your own reputation for
veracity, and you work a serious
harm to the welfare Of this city which
SO Hospitality receives you"
Remember that thousands Of
calm observers here have carefully
studied the facts connected with the
settling Of the earth's crust and the
slight shocks felt here. These OBJ
servers know that the damage done
by earthquakes here is very slight in
deed, compared to the high winds that
sometimes strike your home towns.
"Some people who think there is no
harm in inventing a big quake story
to send out for other communities
forget that they are working a harm
to Los Angeles and injuring the bust
ness interests Of thousands of persons
here whose welfare affects all other
business interests everywhere.
Remember that while truth is not
always exciting it best stands the
test Of time and is Of priceless value
nowadays"

WATER PUMP BROKEN DOWN

WATER PUMP BROKEN DOWN
Both of tn electric pumps at the
pumping station are out of commits
sion and the old steam pumps were
fired up today to fill the reservoir.
The new wells are out of commits
sion a great deal of the time so it
looks as though the fault were with
the construction of them. If they
are not put down properly or the
pumps are not heavy enough. the
contractor should make them good.
The city can not and must not be

Police departments and insurance
companies are constantly on the alert

breaking up the organized groups OF
automobile bandits which exist
throughout the country. but IL is sur
prising how few motor car owners
can describe their own cars.
There are certain things every
motorist should know and be able to
furnish the authorities on a moments
notice. Every driver should acauaint
himself with the following data per
tainiBg to his car:
