LOS ANGELES IS
LOS ANGELES.—Public improv
ments consisting of 125 separate
projects and involving expendi
tures totaling $11,000,000, will be
begun in the near future in Los
Angeles, when peace completes the
lifting of the ban placed on these
improvements by the Capital Issues
i Committe of the Federeal Reserve
Bank.
| Some of these proposed improve
ments have been hanging fire for
i two years, but the majority were
I outlined during the past six months
land have been held in abeyance in
: accordance with the request of the
| Capital Issues Committee that bond
] issues be not floated during the
j period of the- war.
The request of the committee was
I based on two reasons-—the first, to
conserve labor, the second to con
serve materials. But with actual
peace not far off and general stab
ilizing of the labor and material
j market imminent, city officials
here are planning to begin work on
the various projects soon.
Street work will comprise the
greatest single expenditure of the
$11,000,000 total, projects in street
grading, widening and paving
amounting to $3,346,900. Neces
sary improvements at the San Pedro
I harbor will cost in the neighbor
' hood of $3,250,000, according to
the estimates of city engineers. The
Bureau of Power and Light plans
expenditures of more than $1,000,
000 in improving and enlarging
municipal power stations and ad
vancing service. Sewer work, it is
estimated, will amount to more
than $500,000, and the flood con
trol plan, which will divert flood
waters to the ocean and remove
menace to ranch lands, calls for
expenditures of almost $3,000,000.
Improvements at the harbor, ac
cording to C. H. Matson, traffic
manager, include the construction
of dry dock at the plant of the
Los Angeles Shipbuilding* and Dry
dock company, to cost $1,250,000;
widening of the main channel,
$875,000; dredging of the west and
east basins, $630,000.
In the development and improve
ment of the city’s power and light
ing' system, $1285,000 will be re
quired, according to Howard Rob
ertson, of the Public Service com
mission. This will be spent in
the construction of a new power
plant, known as “No. 2,” in San
Franciquito Canyon, and in the con
struction of reservoirs and the lay
ing of an intricate system of
flumes and pipe lines at several
other points along the Los Angeles
aqueduct, where water is diverted
for the purpose of generating elec
trical energy.
Other city projects, contem
plated but not yet in the final state
of preparation by the engineers, are
the Second street tunnel to facili
tate access to a large section, union
station and plans to eliminate dan
gerous grade crossings.

GASSED MONEY
IS UNDER BAN
PARIS — Gassed money has made
' its way to Paris to be spent since
the small townspeople refuse to take
1 it in trade. A Young Men’s Chris
Itian Association secretary in a vil
' lage protested when an aged woman
^ storekeper refused the jet black
'coins he offered, briefly explaining
“No good.”
“But,” insisted the Red Triangle
man. “Those coins are perfectly
good. They were new and shiny
when I put them in my pocket. I
have been through a gas attack and
the fumes have turned them black.
See—”
And he took out his knife and
scraped until the bright metal was
revealed.
“Non,” replied the madame, still
unconvinced. “Ce n’est pas bon.”
And she went on to explain that
after a coin has been gassed, she
did not want to have anything to
do with it.
Finally the man who had made
the purchase was obliged to borrow
enough from a fellow-worker to pay
for what he had bought.
“It is bad enough to go through
the danger and discomfort of a gas
attack without having perfectly
