CITY ARRANGING FOR BIG PAVING PROGRAM Many Streets to Be Paved in Near Future, Says City Manager According to City Manager J. W. Price, the biggest paving program in the history of the city has just been outlined, and the work will be carried forward as rapidly as possible. Water mains have been laid on some of the sections of streets listed for paving, and work on them can begin as soon as the property owners sign up and the contracts are let. Streets which are now ready for paving include Olive from Santa Ana to North, Adele from Lemon to Paulina, Cypress from Citron to Olive, Sycamore from Palm to Lemon, Oak from Palm to Lemon, Chestnut from Palm to Lemon, Sant'Ana from Claudina to Olive, Water from Palm to Los Angeles, West from Center to Cypress, Illinois from Center to Broadway, Ohio from Center to Santa Ana, Palm from Sycamore to Walter, Claudina from Sycamore to Chartres, Emily from Sycamore to Chartres, Melrose from Center to Santa Ana and Vince from Center to Broadway. Streets on which the water mains are now being laid, preparatory to paving, are: Palm from city limits to city limits, West from Cypress to North, Clementine from city park to North, Zeyn from North to La Palma, Olive from North to La Palma, Clementine from Vermont to Water, Atchinson from Santa Ana to Cypress, Paulina from Cypress to Sycamore, Bush from Center to Broadway, Rose from Center to Broadway, La Palma from Palm to Santa Ana, North from West to Los Angeles, Wilhelmina from Los Angeles to Olive, Alberta from Los Angeles to Olive, Chestnut from Los Angeles to Olive. Thurston accompanied his objection to the proposed route with the contention that it would be dangerous because traffic coming down grade from either side would meet at high speed on the fill between. The curves he contended were not as dangerous. Members of the board failed to agree with him, and attempted to convince Thurston that the proposed plan of building the boulevard would in fact be of much greater benefit to his property and his beach than if the old route was followed. When it became apparent that no agreement could be reached, Supervisor S. H. Finley suddenly offered a motion that the state highway commission be notified to halt plans on the Laguna Beach-Serra section "until such time as a right-of-way can be assured." GOVERNOR WANTS COUNTY, SALARY INFORMATION GIVEN Governor Friend William Richardson wants the taxpayers to be advised of all proposed county salary increases and hence has asked legislators to give notice in the local papers. The governor requests that all arguments for and against bills be filed with him. He has a file with a place for every bill and whenever an argument or letter for or against a bill arrives, it is filed by his secretaries, and then when it is finally adopted by the legislature and goes to the governor, he gets the complete file on that bill and considers everything in it. It is manifestly impossible for the governor to hear oral arguments on all bills, and hence he urges that written arguments be presented. In cases of salary increases for county officials, the governor has asked to have the written recommendation holding a shot defying anyone disconnect here dam of the Mo whom she puts division purpose judgment.

With the refusal, late Tuesday, of J. S. Thurston, owner of extensive acreage at the mouth of Aliso creek to deed a right-of-way unless state highway engineers abandon their plans for a straight route across the creek and canyon, and follow his suggestion that the present course of the dirt road there be used, and his warning that condemnation proceedings would mean a damage claim "running into six figures," the county supervisors decided to cancel plans for the Laguna Beach-Serra section "until such time as a right-of-way can be assured." Inasmuch as the county is under agreement to secure right-of-way for the state road, with the obligation of paying awards wherever it may be necessary to condemn property, the "six figure" warning of Thurston caused the supervisors to drop negotiations at once. There is no possibility of influencing the state highway engineers to change their survey in favor of Thurston's ideas, it was pointed out, as the present dirt road contains several "death curves" that are not reconcilable with the current conditions. 1924 WAS CALIFORNIA'S DRIEST YEAR IN PAST 25 Extended Drought Caused Losses to Growers and Shippers California fruit and vegetable growers have long since learned to watch February and March weather closely, particularly the rainfall records. The year 1924 went down in the records as the driest in a quarter of a century. Not only was every irrigation canal taxed to its utmost, but every other source of water supply was drawn upon heavily. The losses of 1924, because of the extended drought hit growers and shippers alike, and at a time when they were helpless. The 1925 Southern California seasor is opening with the rainfall far below normal. On February 5, the Los Angeles office of the United States Weather Bureau reported that Southern California had only received 3.07 inches of rain, slightly less than normal for this time of the year. Usually February and March bring a fair percentage of the season's total moisture. The normal for the rest of the season is 7.33 inches. If this total is reached, the season will be a favorable one for growers. The two preceding seasons were subnormal. The weather experts say there is no rule of wet seasons following dry ones in cycles. Only once in 50 years, according to the Los Angeles records, have three dry years followed in succession. These years were 1897-98, 1898-99 and 1899-1900; the records of rainfall being 7.06, 5.50 and 7.91 inches. Owen D.

There is no possibility of influencing the state highway engineers to change their survey in favor of Thurston's ideas, it was pointed out, as the present dirt road contains several "death curves" that are not reconcilable with state highway policies, now bent on eliminating all such curves. Thus, unless Thurston's attitude changes in the near future, before money allotted by the state highway commission to the section in question is diverted to other projects, the coast boulevard must remain unfinished, probably for a period of years, the supervisors said. Thurston, who owns 312 acres on also creek, including a section of beach where visitors are charged admission, requests that the new boulevard be built approximately along the route of the present dirt road, which curves sharply from the bluffs at each side of the canyon and descends to its floor at a slant back from the ocean. The road would thus cross the creek and canyon some distance farther back from the water line than the route contemplated by the state engineers. The latter plan to eliminate the various curves in the present route, likewise as much as possible of the grade at either side of the canyon, and also to shorten the distance by holding a straight course. They have agreed, Thurston was told Tuesday, to provide for him and his beach patrons, a 20-foot passageway beneath the boulevard, that would eliminate the necessity of a dangerous crossing for anyone passing from Thurston's interior property to his beach. FARMERETTE WINS IN SUIT FOR DAMAGES Receives Judgment Against Modjeska Ranch Company for $200 Damages of $200 was awarded by Superior Judge R. Y. Williams to Mrs. Virginia Lee Cookson, pretty farmerette, who sued the Modjeska Ranch Company and Charles H. Mann, its president, for $50,000 for having her arrested falsely in May, 1923. Her arrest created wide attention at the time as Mrs. Cookson was pictured sitting astride a water pipe line. The two preceding seasons were subnormal. The weather experts say there is no rule of wet seasons following dry ones in cycles. Only once in 50 years, according to the Los Angeles records, have three dry years followed in succession. These years were 1897-98, 1898-99 and 1899-1900; the records of rainfall being 7.06, 6.50 and 7.91 inches. The same records show 14 times during the past 40 years when the rainfall to February 1 was below normal, while the succeeding months were above the average, making the season's total around normal. The important fact that slow rains late in the season are of more immediate benefit to growers than early rains is stressed by the weather experts. The few slow ground-soaking rains, which have been the rule so far this season, have been much more valuable than the usual torrential showers, most of which run off into the ocean. The greatest rainfall was in 1883-84, when 7.13 inches had been recorded up to February 1, after which 38.18 inches were received.

FACTS WILL BRING PERMANENT PEACE Owen D. Young, member of the committee of experts which formulated the Dawes plan and saw it through to successful conclusion, is continuing his voluntary work in the interest of world peace and prosperity. Mr. Young is now president of the board of trustees of the endowment fund to be raised for the establishment at Johns Hopkins University of the Walter Hines Page School of International Relations. These trustees are seeking $1,000,000 from the American public for the establishment of this school—the first of its kind in the world—an organized unit for research and for scientific development of facts in the field of international relations. It is the belief of these trustees that only by such practical steps can future international understandings be averted. In an address on this subject Mr. Young said: "We desire to outlaw war. Not so long ago we desired to outlaw the yellow fever. We desired to outlaw typhoid. We desired to outlaw diphtheria. We desired to shake off the enervating shackles of the hookworm. The plague and yellow fever, typhoid and diphtheria, the hookworm and malaria are outlawed in the world today. You all know the dramatic story. The patient researcher worker in his laboratory, seeking facts, building theories and testing them by experiments, showing not only devotion to his work, but frequently a self-sacrifice which led to his death, came through witness." and available for service in the fields of education, government and business. Our contacts with the world at every point should show more conductivity and less useless sparking. We invite associates and partners. Let no American who has a desire for peace in his heart fail to contribute the practical tools to make peace an accomplishment. We should like subscriptions to be widespread—a share in the enterprise costs each man what he can afford for such a purpose, and his share is equal to that of every other. Some day the list of stockholders will be presented to the President of the United States with the request that it be filed in the permanent archives of the department of state as evidence of the desire and intent of the American people to aid their government with a science of international relations. That is to say, by a systematic body of things known about the complex causes of good-will and ill-will between nations of the world." We desired to shake off the enervating shackles of the hookworm. The plague and yellow fever, typhoid and diphtheria, the hookworm and malaria are outlawed in the world today. You all know the dramatic story. The patient research worker in his laboratory, seeking facts, building theories and testing them by experiments, showing not only devotion to his work, but frequently a self-sacrifice which led to his death, came through victor. The practicing physicians, who are the administrators of medicine, adopted the fruits of that research, and today these diseases for the most part exist no more. Science blazed the way for the administrator to follow. "So with war. It is not enough to have government departments of administration. It is not enough to have an industry of foreign relations. We must supply a science, a systematic body of things known, if we desire to make our aspirations for peace effective. Our curse is ignorance. Facts are our scarcest raw material. This is shown by the economy with which we use them. "A great body of information must be created and mobilized in some single place about all the other questions which affect international relations. The men who do this research work will become experts in international problems. Some of them will continue their service in pure research as a life career. Others will be teachers of the science. Others will be drafted into the government service. The Page school will therefore achieve three things. First, it will develop a science of international relations. Second it will ascertain the facts, so far as they can be found, on any particular problem, and third, it will produce a continually growing body of men trained in that science BEEK8 $20,000 IN SUIT AGAINST BREA CONCERN The Speed and Service Truck Company of Brea was made defendant this week in a $20,000 damage suit filed in the Superior court by Hazel F. Stressinger of Los Angeles, the action being based on an automobile accident near Grape Vine station, between Los Angeles and Bakersfield. The accident occurred last December 22. The plaintiff claims that her car collided with a truck and trailer, left on the highway without lights after dark. She sustained a gash over the eye that left a long scar, besides receiving other injuries and nervous shock. Her claim includes $10,000 for her injuries, $5000 for the disfiguring scar, and $6000 for the after effects of the accident, which still bother her, she claims. Attorney John C. Miles of Los Angeles appears for the plaintiff. NEW SAN GABRIEL BRIDGE Gasoline tax funds will be used during the summer of 1925 by the California highway commission in removing one of the worst traffic hazards on the state highway in Los Angeles county. Bids were asked today for the construction of a new reinforced concrete bridge across San Gabriel. Diana Gift ..Shop..
