12 LACK OF CEMENT DELAYS CONTRACT SEWER CONSTRUCTION WOP.X HINDERED STORAGE SUPPLY GIVES OUT Breakdown In Machinery of Factory Causes Suspension of Progress In Improvements Being Made by City Cement contracts in which the city Is interested are rapidly reaching the stage where work on them will be In definitely delayed by lack of material. Work has been stopped on four sections of the storm drain because of a short age of cement, and it probably will be only a question of a short time when the force of men employed on the new outfall sewer will take an enforced vacation. This state of affairs Is occasioned by the breaking of machinery ln the cement works at Napa Junction. The city has contracts for 2,000 barrels of ce ment a month and during the last few months has been using 3,000 and 4,000 barrels. The cement works has notified the contractors that no more cement can be delivered until the machinery Is repaired, and this may be a matter of weeks. Meanwhile the work on the new storm drain is being delayed and Nov ember is rapidly approaching, when Rainmaker Hatfield will get busy. The work on the outfall sewer is being car ried on with cement that has been kept in storage at Inglewood for Just such an emergency, but during the last few weeks this store has been drawn on heavily and there is little hope that it will hold out until the Napa Junction cement works is able to again turn out the .material.. Not only is the city work being de layed, but private contracts for walks, curbs and similar improvements cannot be completed until material arrives. The great amount of building in Los Angeles is chiefly responsible for this condition of affairs. The big 'cement works has been compelled to. draw on Its reserve to supply the demand until all material in storage has been ex hausted. GETS HIS LICENSE BUT IS TOO BUSY TO MARRY Title Reporter Meets the Girl of His Choice on the Street — Wedding Will Follow Two days of wooing-, a hasty proposal, a demure acceptance and one of the prettiest romances of the year cul minated yesterday when Charles O. Greenwood, a reporter of the Giles Title company, appeared at the office of Cupid AVatson of the marriage license department and asked for a marriage license. The license was Issued to Greenwood and Miss Annie Pike of Salt Lake City. Following the issuance of the license Greenwood told his sweetheart good by and calmly resumed the work which he had interrupted for the few mo ments required to secure a license. ' "This is the busiest day of my life," said the reporter as he copied incor porations and kept mixing up the name of "Annie" with the various names of the subscribers on the Incorporating list. ' "I haven't time to take a day off and I want to get married, so I have to take chances. I knew Miss Pike very well when I lived in Salt Lake City some time ago. Yes, I knew her very well and I didn't much like the idea of coming so far away. She was one of the most prominent newspaper women of that city and up until about a week ago was on the editorial staff of the Salt Lake Tribune. "She came to Los Angeles two days ago and by accident I met her on the street. I asked her what she was doing here and she said she was about to go on one of the local papers, and I said she was destined for a different fate, and I proposed. "Well, she accepted and I guess we will get married. "When? Oh, I don't know. Not this afternoon, but just as soon as I can leave my work long enough for the ceremony we will complete our little romance." He Was Satisfied "Would I like to live my life over?" said the sober faced man. "No, sir; it's bad enough to think lt over."— Boston Transcript.

The man was accompanied by a handsome young woman, who blushed when the request was made. "It will do no good to have an adop tion recorded at this office," said Clerk Williams. "You will have to go to the county clerk's office and file a petition of adoption before you can legally adopt the young woman." "I don't care whether It is legal or not," said the would-be-father. "I simply want the adoption of this girl as my daughter recorded, so that lt will be a matter of record If anyone should question my statement."

MAYOR SIGNS OWENS RIVER BOND ORDINANCE Work of Engrossing Plates Will Be Rushed— Bids to Be Opened November 1 Mayor McAleer lost no time in sign ing the new water ordinance when he reached his office yesterday morning, and the ordinance is now a law. The work of engraving the plates for bonds is being rushed and the securities soon will be in the hands of the city for sale to the highest bidders. Bids will be opened November 1, which comes on "Wednesday, and an adjourned meeting of the city council will be held on that date in order that the bonds may be awarded. Since the city has placed itself on the market for water bearing lands ther? have been more offers of land made to the water department than would be necessary for a city of ten times the population of Los Angeles. Scarcely a day passes that Superintendent Mul holland does not receive an offer of land in the Owens river valley. FINDS NO IMPURITIES IN DISTILLED WATERS City Chemist Says Some Spring Water Contains More Impurities Than Does City Water The telephone in the health depart ! ment of the city hall has been kept busy during the last few days by anx ious Inquirers who are eager to know the results of City Chemist Miller* analysis of the drinking waters sold in Los Angeles. A large number of Los Angeles resi dents depend entirely on these waters, and the report recently Issued from the chemist's office that some of these con tained more alkali than the city water Is responsible for the inquiries. "This statement Is true of a number of the waters sold as 'spring water,' " says Mr. Miller, "but I am not concern- Ing myself with the distilled waters. There can be no impurities in distilled water unless they should be added after the process of distillation, and I have found no evidence of this in the distilled waters sold in this city."

CRIB DISTRICT IS NOT FAVORED COMMISSIONERS OPPOSED.TO DENY THEY HAVE AUTHORITY Action on Appointment of Chief of Police Postponed Because of Failure to Secure a . Quorum Through failure to secure a quorum for the meeting of the police commis sion yesterday morning, action on the appointment of a chief of police was again delayed. It is improbable that this office will be filled for several weeks yet, as Commissioner Johnson Is out of the city on an extended trip and at the meeting of the commission last week the petition of ex-Chief Glass for re appointment was filed for consideration by the committee of the whole. This will necessitate a full attendance of the commission to consider the petition. The report recently circulated to the effect that the police commission will take some action toward the estab lishment of a "crib" district, in which the denizens of the red-light district may be placed, are without foundation, say city officials, as the police comrnis slon nor any other body can take any official action on such a proposition. •The mayor has announced himself as favoring a "crib" district to be regu lated by the police and asserts that this is the only way to handle the evil. Assistant City Attorney Goudge said yesterday: "The city cannot organize a 'crib' district or anything of a similar na ture. No body of officials has the legal authority to set apart a certain section of the city and declare that vice may flourish there. In order to do so, lt would be necessary to refer it to a vote of the people and such a proposition would be defeated by an overwhelming majority." WOMAN WILL BE GIVEN PRELIMINARY HEARING Mrs. Florence Yager to Be Arraigned Today on Charge of Stealing Ordway's Gold Mrs. Florence Yager will have a pre liminary hearing today before Judge Chambers on a charge of stealing $400 from Dr. .W. E. Ordway last Friday morning. The result of the trial will determine whether another complaint will be issued charging Mrs. Yager with stealing $750,000 worth of bonds, leases and mortgages and attempting to burn the papers and the house, in which she was employed as housekeeper. For the first time since her arrest Mrs. Yager yesterday was willing to talk. She has spent most of the time in a cell, refusing to converse. Much of the time she has spent silently weep ing, and often has been found with her head burled in her hands.
