BEFRIENDED IN JAIL- AGED
SOLDIER REWARDS SHERIFF
George Gallagher Remembered by a
Man Whom He Treated Kindly
When Under Arrest
As a reward for what he had done
for him, Ueorge Gallagher, deputy
sheriff ot the county jail, received
B money order for $10 yesterday from
joim Smith, a soldier 75 years old, liv
ing .ii the Soldiers' home at Sawtelle.
Gallagher has known Smith for the
past L'n years. Several times Smith
KU been taken to the , oimty jail on
charges of drunkenness, hut instead
of locking him In h cell until he has
recovered, Gallagher lias administered
medicine to him and given him the
use of his rooms In the Jail building,
Rfterward Riving him money with
which to get home.
j n the letter accompanying the
money order Smith said that he had
remembered what Gallagher had done
for him while he was in the .(ail and
that he was getting old and didn't ex
pect to live much longer. Ue said that
he made him a present of the $40.
Gallagher, who has been a 1 the coun
ty jail for the past ten years, has
made many friends. Quite often he
is called upon by the prisoners to set
tle disputes between them, so great
is their confidence in him.
COMMISSIONER PLEASED
WITH AQUEDUCT PROGRESS
W. D. Stephens Declares Work Will Be
Completed at Less Than Orig.

That the progress made on the Owens
rivnr water project predicts its com
pletion inside of two years is the
opinion Of W. I). Stephens, president
of the hoard of water works commis
sioners, who. with chief Kngineer Mul
holland, h;is .lust returned from an in
spection of the entire line.
According to Mr. Stephens, fi r pf"
cent of the aqueduct has been com
pleted: "I believe the cost will fall he
low the original estimate." he said,
"and I also believe the amount of
power that will he made available has
been underestimated."
It was staled that sanitary conditions
in the construction camps along the
line are excellent, and far more cleanly
and orderly than might he expected.

Ainonp tho most potent factors in the
rapid development of the growing clt-'
irs of the country are the groat cor«
poratlons which invest Immense sums
in great plant! Installed for prom and
for tho convenience and comforts of
the people; Mid the city which enjoys
lilghest perfection along these lines is
the municipality that grown steadily
In population and in commercial and
Industrial enterprises. Name a town
or city with Inefficient nurl phlegmatic

Will be found grass growing in the

more progressive locations for homes
and Investments of funds.
Los Angeles, blessed with ideal cli
matic and environments alluring to
people from all parts of the world,
boasts of some of the greatest public
service companies to he found )n any
progressive city in the country.
Much as tli.- city of Los Angeles
owes to the street railways and inter
urban traffic opportunities it has an
Indebtedness of recognition which is
due to the presani his and electric
company which cast its lot with the
little community of a quarter of a
century ago.
Serving the People
The growth of this company has
kept pace with the expansion Of Los
Angeles, and today with its capitali
sation of $3n,ooo,oftO—its large property
interests, handled by men of know i.
business ability and years of practi
cal experience, is one of the most In
dispensable of the public service cor
porations.
In 18811 there were no electric plants
in Los Angeles and less than twenty
miles of gas mains. Now then- are
779 miles of gas mains and 78,500 gas
meters installed. Now there are s?fl
inile.s of underground electric con
duits. There are in service 27-j are
lights and 2740 incandescent.; for street
lighting purposes, and from the begin
ning the company has steadily extend
ed its municipal lighting system.
In addition to the above service the
company also supplies -1.500 residents
with electric lights, making a grand
total of 98,000 gas and electric con
sumers on the books of the company.
Estimate of Population
It is estimated that with every (as
meter installed an average of five peo
ple are served. If this estimate is cor
rect, then at the present time, with
the service of the gas and electric
company alone considered. Los Ange
les now has :i population of ttSL'.fiOO.
The Domestic 'ias ami Electric com
pany, subsidiary to' the Pacific Light
and Power company, has been In the
field for two years and is rapidly ex
tending Its service in Lofl Angeles and
vicinity. This company is headed for
San Bernardino and other outlying
towns and. cities, and Is capitalised at
$40,oon,nnn.
The Los Angeles lias and Electric
company is gelling pis at 86 cents per
1000 feet, having reduced charges vol
untarily a.M rapidly as expenses of pro
duction warranted reductions. In the
beginning, when the town was small,
the cost per 1000 feet w;is $2.25.

LOMITA IPS
Listen Now to What We Tell You
DON'T say by and by, "If I had only known that Loraita farm acres were so advantageous
ly situated in a high sheltered valley with rich soil and an abundance of good, soft water
for domestic and irrigation purposes, \ would most certainly have bought as many acres
as I was able to pay for at $10 an acre down and $10 an acre per month."
Men will soon be saying, "Why didn't you tell us that prices were going up? Why didn't
you let us know that the geographical location of this property was such as to make it enhance
in value very rapidly? Why didn't you let us know about the improvements that were going on
and the large amount of this property that has already been sold?"
Well, We Are Telling You About It Now; April 20th We Are Going to Advance Prices
If you want to get it at present prices it is up to you to act—DO IT NOW .
When you can buy an acre of good, rich land with water (and own that water), situated as
Lomita farm acres are situated, at the low price of $400 an acre and upward, and buy that land
on such advantageous terms as $10 down and $10 per month, it shouldn't be very hard for you
to decide what to do.
You May Not Ever Come in and Go Down, but the Prices Will Go Up
