A recent survey shows that there
are now some 100000 workers on Los
Angeles industrial payrolls employed
in some 5000 plants which will turn
out manufactured products valued at
over 81 500, 100000 during the pres
ent year. For this labor there is eb-
ing expended in payrolls approx
mately $7,000,000 per week. From
ent year. For this labor there is be-
preciaSed when it is considered that
in 1900 the total value OF the manu-
factured output was but slightly
over 100000 which would mean
only about two weeks payroll on the
present basis. In every five year
period since 1900 the total valuation
Of manufactured products has dou-
bled over the preceding period.
In measuring the consuming power
of the Los Angeles territory it is
we'll to consider the fact that 45 per
cent of the population of Los Angeles
proper are wage earners.

It has only been of late years that
the Pacific coast has been recognized
as an important factor in making up
the national consumer demand for
food stuffs.
For instance, in the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve district, in which is in
cluded California, it is shown that
for the first six months of 1926 that
at eight livestock markets in that dis
trict nearly 100000 more cattle were
required to meet the demand than
was required for the same period
covering a five year average. Con-
sidering the unprecedented growth in
population in California it is reason
able to assume that practically all of
this increased beef requirement IS
represented by the state.
California has changed in the
course of Is to 20 years, (from a
livestock standpoint) from an ex-
porter to an importer of supplies, this
becoming more marked each year un-
til at the present time the state sup
plies only about so per cent of its
beef requirements, 10 per cent Of its
pork requirements and about Is pei
cent Of its sheep requirements.
This, of course, places the Califor
MIA producer in an enviable position
it being possible for his entire pro
duction to be quickly absorbed within
the state. At the same time an out
let is offered to producers Of mea
food animals located in sections a
far east as the Missouri river and il
fact livestock is imported into Cali
fornia from practically every stat
west of that point, with the bulk o
the contribution being furnished b
the Intermountain country and tn
Southwestern states.
. The desirability of the outlet fo
livestock on the Pacific coast is evi
denced by the fact that during tn
: major portion of the year liyestOc
is supplied by states which are higf
: ly competitive with Middlewester
: markets. In this way the producer
: are placed in a position to choose j
which direction they will find the
distribution, and their choice of I'll
Pacific coast signifies the value {
these rapidly growing outlets.

nash ANNOUNCES
new SPECIAL SIX
Seven-Bearing Crankshaft Motor
Heads List of Important
New Features

Heralded as introducing the
worlds smoothest type of motor"
Nash has placed on display nationally
the newly developed Special Six line
comprising five models in open and
closed body styles and powered by
the new seven-bearing crankshaft
motor, termed by engineers the "ul-
tra-modern type Of six cylinder mo-
tor"
The debut of the new Special Six
series has been awaited with extreme
interest in veiw Of earlien reports
that Nash would achieve a significant
achievement in motor engineering as
we'll as long list of important, new
betterments with no change in prices.
The first distinguishing attribute
Of this new motor is the superlative
smoothness achieved by the use of
the big seven bearing crankshaft, in
addition to great power and excep-
tional accelerative ability.
The motor is heavily insulated from
the frame through the use Of rubber
insulation at the motor supports
This practice intensifies the operative
quietness and the almost vibration
less character of Nash performance
There is also featured on these new
motors a new crankcase "breather"
an ingenious device which functions
to prevent crankcase dilution. This
''breather' also serves to keep tht
driving compartment free from hea
and odor.
Nash likewise draws attention t,
a new design motor muffler whicl
contributes Importantly to the quiet
ness of the engine because Of the wa,
it leads hot exhaust gases around tn
outer surface of the shell allowing
them to cool and contract before en-
tering the inside manifold.

COST OF LUMBER.

The man who has bought a small

it will be interested in the statement
made by the United States Forest
service that the average price of ev-
cry 1000 feet of lumber used during
1924 was $12. But the government
statement shows that the gross
freight bill on lumber during that
year amounted to about $408,000,o00.
In consequence the freight charge
often more than doubles the price of
lumber to the consumer.

 Mir. Slade urged the boys 10 prevent as far as possible any waste and to take a greater in- terest in the appearance of the school by being careful not to deface the walls and other property belonging to the school. Smoking on school property is the greatest problem and any boys disobeying this school rule will be disciplined" the principal warned.

CITY LOSES S7OO BY BUILDING CODE DELAY Permits for Bank Struc- ture and New Theater
 Sought

A. \. Rutherford, deputy build ing inspector, was in conference to- day with Mayor Weld to inform the executive that the city lost $700 in building permit fees over the week. end by reason Of the delay in adopting the new buildinf code. and the inspector recommended adoption of an ordinance Wednes- day night to increase the permit fees.
 Rutherford's suggestion as to new fees, is embodied in the new code, taking the form of an increase from S1 to s2 per thousand and 6 maxi mum fee of $500 instead of the present $75 maximum. The proposed ordinance would become operative at once and would continue as q part of the code when it is finally adopted
 Mayor Weld expressed himself as favorable to the suggestion. When the ordinance committee meets to- night the proposition will be dis cussed and 1t is expected the pro- posed law will be recommended for adoption at Wednesday nights com mon council meeting.
 The building on which big permit fees were lost are the Commercial Trust bank and Rather theater.
 A permit for the bank building was applied for today, John F. Downes, building contractor, act ing for the banking corporation. He filed plans and a copy of the specif- cations, Inspector Hcnnessy and Rutherford are today examining the plans preparatory to issuing a per init.
 The building will be erected be- tween City hall driveway and the Burritt hotel on the site now used as a parking station.

 Lack of Work.

Michol Suquatic. A years old, of 2S6 North street, is in very criti- cal condition at New Britain General hospital as the result of cutting his throat during a fit of despondency yesterday. He had been out of en- ployment for the past two weeks, and according to the testimony Of his wife he had been acting very peculiarly since.
 Yesterday afternoon he took a nap and upon rising stood in front of a mirror and cut his throat before anyone could get near enough to stop him. The police were called and he was taken to the hospital where at o'clock this afternoon he was very low and little hope is held for his recovery.
