RAIL YARD TO COST MILLIONS
Freight Terminals to Be Built At Once
at Los Angeles Will Cover
700 Acres.

Actual construction will be started
shortly on a 700-acre freight terminal
covering two-mile strip along the San
Fernando road, beginning at the North
Broadway yards, by the Southern Pa
cifc Railway company at cost of sew
eral millions of dollars. This announce
ment was made recently by 7. II. Will
llams, assistant general manager of
the company, according to the Los
Angeles Examiner
The completed yard will be one Of
the most extensive and comprehensive
freight terminals in the country. 1t
will include sections for classification
and receiving, car storage, delivery, re-
pair tracks, stock resting corrals, cleo
trio power house and Illuminating sys-
TEN for the yard, two 50-stall round
houses, caboose tracks, drill tracks,
water tanks and mammoth repair shop
"The construction Of this huge
freight terminal at Los Angeles is the
practical recognition Of the tremendous
growth Of the city and surrounding
towns and Of the greater growth in
prospect" said Mr.. Williams.
In 1920, a normal year, one railroad
company spent more than $8,000,0O0
for materials and supplies in Los
Angeles. Its normal pay roll is approx
imately $1,OO0,0O0.

Gish stated included 80 per cent of the

The Onamia committee and Com
missioner Balm from Borgholm were
very desirious of setting the date for
the hearing upon the proposed re-dis-
tricting on December 20, just three
days before John Grow, who was elect
ed commissioner from the second dis
trict, would take his oath of office.
They were prompted to this speed not
because of any unfriendly feeling
toward Mr.. Grow but because they
knew it would complicate the elimina-
ton of the commissioner from Green
bush if he had actually taken his Of
flee.
Robert Balm was the only one of
the commissioners who seemed favora-
bly, disposed to call a special session
of the board for December 29. He
made motion to that effect but could
secure no second. John Axell and
John Levau both stated that they
wished to take no part in such a pro-
ceeding. Mr.. Axell said he wished to
remain absolutely neutral. John L.
vau showed himself a real man, who
was above petty jealousy, when he re-
fused to avail himself of the oppor-
tunity to take steps to eliminate from
office the man who had defeated him.
Fred Newton declared most emphat-
icslly that he would not assist in
legislating out Of office a man elected
by the voters in his district and he
would never vote to set the date for
hearing the re-districting proposition
until after January 2, 1923, when Mr.
Grow had qualified. Mr.. Sehlin, who
was chairman, of course, could not
second the motion.
County Attorney Doane, when
asked for his opinion, advised the
board not to attempt to shove through
the re-districting plan before the first
of the year. He urged the commits
sioners to exercise their sense of fair
play and not to endeavor to prevent a
man from qualifying for the office to
which he had been elected. Mr.. Doane
also stated that in his judgment it was
decidedly questionable whether any
action the board might take could pre-
vent Mr.. Grow from taking his Of
flee if he saw fit to do so. It was
his opinion that the commissioners
might involve the county in expensive
litigation if they attempted such a
proceeding.
If the county must be re-districted,
it was suggested by certain members
of the board that the logical change
to be made would be to add Milo and
Foreston village to Greenbush for the
territory of the second district. That
would divide the population practical
ly equally among the five districts.
Designating this as the third plan, the
following figures giving the popula-
ton of the present and proposed dis
tricts will clearly show the relative
merits of the two plans:
Population as Districts Now Stand.

Fig. 2 shows method of heating
the intake manifold from the exhaust

copper sheet, bending 1t well around
each manifold and making it meet
in the rear. This copper jacket is held
in place by making holes through it
to correspond with the bolts on the
engine, slipping it over these bolts,
setting the pipe clamps in place and
finally tightening up the nuts as usual.
The copper conducts the heat from
the hot exhaust pipes direct to the
intake manifold. After running the
| engine about ten minutes the intake
becomes so hot that the hand cannot
be held upon it; thus 1t preheats the
gas, and so raises its explosive power.

tor; not so close or so numerous as to
weaken the floor, Of course, but suffi-
cient to permit the heat, from around

RIGHT AIR PRESSURE

Overlooking or differentiation
Increases Temperature.
Amount of Heat Generated by Tire
Is Due to Flexing and Bending
of Fabric and Rubber-Old
Tire Most Susceptible.

The heat that Is noticeable in n
tire after 1t has been run for few
hours is generated by the tire itself,
due to fleXing and bending of fabric
and rubber. The amount of heat de-
pends upon the rapidity and extent
of this action. An overloaded or an
under-inflated tire heats more rapidly
than properly inflated and properly
loaded tire. Similarly, an old tire, due
to weakness, is more susceptible to
this heat-producing action than new
tire
The strength factor built into the
standard pneumatic tires of today is
far above what the tire is ever called
upon to deliver, except under most ex-
traOrdinary circumstances. Expert
mental tests have shown that in order
to blow out new first-class tire by
additional air pressure 1t is necessary
to exert force of over thirty times
the regular recommended pressure.
Tire experts claim, therefore, that
there is absolutely no reason, SO far
as blowout is concerned, for re-
duction of air pressure before going
out on long runs or during hot days.
The maximum increase In air pres
sure that could be expected,
under any condition, would not
exceed fifteen pounds-the average
would not be greater than six pounds.
This small increase in pressure will
not blow out the casing.
The motorist should not concern
himself over making imitation allow
ances for changes in temperature.
The important point to remember is
at all times to have enough pressure
and that it is very rare that one has
too much. Proper air pressure is
necessary that full service may be
received.
