STREET PAVING Commendable headway has been made this week with the proposition for street paving, a number of large property-owners having added their names to the list. In the main business block in town, on Center street, from Los Angeles to Lemon, which was the first block in which the petition asking for paving was circulated, every local property-owner has signed, with a single exception, and this signature is confidently expected before the end of the week. One non-resident property-owner has not yet been heard from, but word is expected from him momentarily. With these two signatures added to the list, a clean sweep of 1200 feet frontage in this block will be secured, which speaks very well for We believe the interior Southern California are in some of this prosperity ning over among these sh We have a superior all round climate; we have anance of pure artesian water delightfully situated on miles from the ocean, and rounded on all sides by productive and the ha rural section of the Sta heim ought to experience this seaside prosperity. believe it is coming our w have made greater pro past two years than ever We believe street paving to direct more favorable to us than anything now people.

The in ture is confidently expected before the end of the week. One non-resident property-owner has not yet been heard from, but word is expected from him momentarily. With these two signatures added to the list, a clean sweep of 1200 feet frontage in this block will be secured, which speaks very well for the enterprise of our business men. In the block on Los Angeles street, from Center to Chartres, a similar gratifying state of affairs exists, although the work of signing has not been quite so far advanced. Probably two-thirds of the frontage has been signed. In the block on Center street, from Los Angeles to Claudina, more than half the frontage was signed the first day the petition was in circulation. The law does not require that all the frontage must be signed for paving, nor does it require any petition for paving at all; but the city trustees will doubtless feel greater warrant for ordering the work if backed by a petition of property-owners than if such were not the case. That the business men and enterprising citizens generally favor paving is abundantly attested by the favor with which it has been received. The heaviest taxpayers in the city's center have already signed their names to the petition for paving, and now property-owners in adjoining blocks are being interviewed. Only two have this far refused to sign, but it is believed they will soon find themselves in such lonesome company that they will be glad to get in the procession to help boom the town. Cement sidewalks have done much to bring us favorable notice from the many easterners seen almost daily upon our streets. Paving will do the rest. We believe compilation of figures print another page. Its incarnate wealth during amounts to $1,744,000. Our twenty-eight counties which so far reported their assets only three counties—Los Fresno and San Joaquin—greater increase. The increase this county is greater than Sacramento by a quarter million dollars, and many northern as well as southern ties are distanced by the giant of the south. Riverside is fifteen times size, and its increased mileage necessarily exceeds this county by a very large San Bernardino reports an increase of $637,000, which is small paired with its two neighbor counties, but is up with other counties north as south. San Diego has not ported, but will probably large increase. San Joaquin shows an increase of $2,000 and Fresno one of $2,178,000. Angeles' phenomenal increase $60,000,000 is unparalleled history of the State. We shortly have Controller O'Connor complete figures, when our comparison with other cities may be made. Enough is known to indicate the strides being taken by theern portion of the State inerty values. The record of county is a proud one. ed they will soon find themselves in such lonesome company that they will be glad to get in the procession to help boom the town. Cement sidewalks have done much to bring us favorable notice from the many easterners seen almost daily upon our streets. Paving will do the rest. We believe absolutely that it will make the town. Long Beach, Whittier, Riverside, Redlands, Santa Ana and other progressive towns of Southern California have miles of paved thoroughfares. Property is changing hands in these towns daily at advanced figures. We recently noted the purchase of property at Long Beach by an easterner at an outlay of $50,000, and its sale in six months for $155,000. Long Beach expended $130,000 in the erection of a pleasure pier and auditorium. Money thrown away, say you silurian? Not at all, sir. That made the town. All along the coast millions of dollars are being expended in improvements. At Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Bay City, Long Beach, Redondo, Venice, Ocean Park improvements are going ahead with gigantic pace. Those who have not seen the strides making by these ocean-front towns had best devote a day to sight-seeing along the coast. Not in many years has theury department been equipped with a working b as at present. Apart from d with national banks now made, this balance will be than $80,000,000. As this w balance has several times in years gone down to close t 000,000, it is easily seen tha is practically $50,000,000 tha be used to meet a monetary agency in the business world. is proceeding upon the assu that after the first month o of the present fiscal year the ceipts will run well up with the penditures. Should the re fall greatly behind expenditure the working balance will sened in accordance with th ficit. At any rate, there is in $40,000,000 or $50,000,000 o ernment money that can be ished to the relief of the bu world in a pinch and Sec Shaw has let it be known th intends to see no money pani believe the interior towns of San California are in line for this prosperity now runer among these shoretowns. have a superior all-the-yearalimate; we have an abundpure artesian water; we are fully situated only twelve from the ocean, and are suron all sides by the most live and the handsomest action of the State.

The county makes a proud among the counties of the which have so far reported assessments to the state board ization, as is shown by a portion of figures printed upon page. Its increase in wealth during the year to $1,744,000. Out of the right counties which have reported their assessments, the counties—Los Angeles, and San Joaquin—show a increase. The increase of is within the power of the treasury to give aid. STATE LABOR COMMISSIONER W. V. STAFFORD has officially announced to mechanics and other workmen throughout the country that there is a rich field for their activities now in San Francisco, in the rebuilding of which many more artisans are needed than are now available on the spot. Commissioner Stafford has been receiving many letters from various parts of the country, making inquiries as to the demand for workingmen in San Francisco. To these he has replied that there is room in this and adjoining cities for thousands more men in the building trades. The work of cleaning up has advanced so far that the actual building is now the immediate task on hand, practically every mechanic now in the city being employed at good wages, and more are required, particularly carpenters, electrical workers, bricklayers, hod carriers, plumbers, plasterers, cement workers, sheet metal workers and structural iron workers. "We need men by the thousands, if they are good mechanics, and we have no room for any other kind," says Commissioner Stafford, "and they will be sure of plenty of work and at good wages." This proclamation of the state labor bureau, it is expected, will have good effect in attracting The state board of equalization on Monday made a total raise in the assessments of the railroads of the state amounting to $11,190,636. In addition to this amount the various county assessors have assessed to the various roads or spurs and side tracks that were formerly assessed by the state board to the amount of $3,793,891, which gives a total raise in the assessments of the roads over that of last year of $14,-984,526.
