L. McBride, superintendent of county highways. The crusher, which turns out gravel for use on the roads, but which does not handle concrete material, was moved above 75 feet south of its former location. A larger elevator line was installed and storage was increased. The former output of 250 yards of gravel daily will be increased to from 300 to 350 yards a day, McBride predicts.

In the Walnut Park addition alone thirty-six meters were placed last week. Indications point to the considerable building activity in the Golden Hill tract during the next two weeks.

Jack Iman made many friends in Hollywood Thursday night when he gave Jack Moore a sound lacing in their preliminary bout, but Moore was in such condition at the end of the second stanza that the referee halted the event. Iman, by his wonderful showing, won his way into the semi-windup event on Friday night's card. He will meet Sailor Ritter. Iman made a decided hit with Hollywood fans last week when he went four rounds with Leo Matlock in one of the most sensational bouts ever staged in the Hollywood arena. Matlock won the fight by a knockout near the end of the fourth. This event was a slugging match from start to finish and it was only a question of who would get over the first solid punch in the last round. Iman was unlucky enough to stop one of Matlock's punches before he could put over one of his own and this punch won the bout for Matlock.
