IWO GARAGE BUILDINGS GO UP
With the beginning of excavation today for a 50x100 foot building to be erected by Dr. W. M. Chambers, two large new garage buildings are an early prospect for the southside of Chestnut-st between Los Angeles and Lemon-its.
Excavation has been completed for the West Bros. garage-bldg. Its dimensions have been increased since the original permit was issued a few days ago for a structure to cost $10,000.
The original plans were to make it 50 feet fronting Chestnut-st and 125 feet deep. It has now been decided to make it 140 feet deep and the extension would have been made to 175 had it been possible under the city ordinance without increasing the thickness of the walls.
The West building is of reinforced concrete, curtain-wall type. This Chambers building will be brick.
Dr. Chambers has purchased 40 feet facing Lemon-st from Atty. O. T. Callor, paying $5,500. He has leased his garage to two San Bernardino men.

LOS ANGELE, Sept. 25—Mrs. Sylvia Rowlatt smiled in her cell today as she nursed her 8-months' old baby. She had just been told that her father would not die.
