Property owners Interested In rapid
advancement of public work before the
rainy season sets in, have been making
inauiries at the city hall regarding the
delay in certain lines of work the cause
oi uie aiiegea sroruge oj cement, bu im
plies. This brings' forth the Informa
tion that there is a general shortage
of cement, according to reports from
supply concerns and contractors.
Because of strike : conditions, it is
said, shipraents from Southern Cali
fornia points have been held up. The
plant at Oswego supplies the municipal
paving plan and various local con
tractors, but it is said It has been un
able to supply the extra demand made
upon it since outside shipments have
beeo delayed. At the request of the
public works department, however, it
has apportioned to various contractors
with open jobs as much cement as could
te sparea rrom us reguisr customers.
The work of relaying the P. R. L. A P.
tracks on Hawthorne avenue, from
Grand avenue to Blast IStti streets, is
indefinitely delayed because of inabil
ity to get the cement required.

Etau capitol circles is content to re

deceit and untruth In the circulation
of the initiative- petition and to secur

The richness of quality, grace of

simplicity mark their distinction
as America's supreme values at
The woman, who t this
time might be influenced
to buy garments featured
as "on sale" at so-called
reductions, is on the way
to disappointment. No
amount of money so
"saved can compensate
for the deficiency in style
sold under these circum'
stances.
Our estimate of the de
