Total Receipts ----...-.....$7, 749. 90
Mr.. Cargill said that in the two
years 34,806 separate admissions
had been granted to the pool, paid
Tor in redeemed bonds or cash
The playground ASSOCIATION owes
IN outstanding accounts $1,4O9.98.
1t has in the treasury S179.19, be-
sides fund set aside to pay divi-
bends on all outstanding bonds.
Holders of bonds may cash in tn .ir
coupons at 8 per cent at any tine
they may apply to Treasurer Frank
Harold.
The total Indebtedness against
the pool, which includes unredeem-
ed bonds and outstanding accounts
was given as $3,13O.8O. The invest
ment in the pool and its equipment
was conservatively estimated at So.
900, said Mr.. Cargill.
In 1922 the playground associa-
ton paid the city 10 cents per 1 900
gallons for water, in 1928 it paid
the city II IL cents, and Mr.. Car
gill said he had been informed that
this year the water would be sold
to the playground at 9 cents Der
thousand gallons.
This pool, as a strictly business
proposition, is one of the best in
vestments in the county," said Mr..
Cargill. "Its earnings will pay big
profits-net profits-on the invest
ment."
Mr.. Cargill requested the mem
bers of the three clubs to purchase
a sufficient number of bonds to
meet the total indebtness of ST.
409.99. He said the pool was orig
lnally fathered by the clubs, that IL
was the one thing that three clubs
had unanimously gotten together
on and he believed the clubs were
the proper ones to stay behind it and
make it going, debt-free PROPOSE
ton.
The answer to this request was
the subscribing of $500 bonds, and
equivalent of $1,000. These bonds
can be resold by the holders or ex-
changed for season tickets or held
as an investment, as they pay per
cent annually. The bond holders
have a lean on the total receipts
OF the pool as a guarantee.

GIRL GIVES CLUE
 IN MURDER CASE
Los Angeles Woman Admits
 Two Men Loved Her

Los Angeles, Nov. 12.-A tele- |phone clue to the identity oS the person who last Monday shot and Killed Harry I. Katz, musician and conniosseur of diamonds was eager ly followed by police investigators today. The clue developed during questioning of Miss Dorothy Carroll, 22 year old friend of the slain man, according to the Los Angeles Exam finer. Miss Carroll told the police she was the object of bitter rivalry be- tween Katz and another man, whose name is withheld and that after the staying a telephone message came to her from this man warning her to tell the police nothing" and threatening her with death if she disobeyed.
 The unnamed man crossed Katz in business as well as in love, Miss Carroll is quoted as saying. She also revealed that Katz was in great fear
 Other friends of the slain man have stated he was worried over money; that he was hard pressed to pay some debt or other growing out of his transactions, practically all of which involved diamonds. -<.r-
 He was never, 1t seemed, short of diamonds, though often short of cash. He used the percious stones to buy real estate, automobiles, rare violins and antiques. He borrowed money and gave gems as security; borrowed other money to buy more | gems. ..
 In an effort to learn what, if any, connection there might be between Katz's diamonds, his slaying and certain underground traffic in snug gled jewels, police today planned to open a safe deposit box in g Los Angeles bank where the diamond dealer is reported to have concealed part of his gems.
