LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22 Imagine dirt, enough to solidly fill 14 city blocks 100 feet high, being moveu out of town on street cars. That Is whut Los Angeles Is pre paring to do If It adopts a S27, 000,000 plan to remove "Uuimer Hill," a lurge mound rearing lis crest 111 the downtown district. A hindrance to traffic and the growth of the commercial seotlon 01 Los Angeles, Bunker Hill festered so long that citizens persuaded the city council and the county super visors to remove tills canker. Trimming 30 lllucks The huse task of slicing off 30 blocks of territory and regradlng it to provide an approximate level Willi the surrounding district at first seemed to be all luipoa.ilble one, but with aid of modern engineering equipment It wat found feasible, pro vided the project could be financed. All that tho city fathers of Los Angeles are waiting for now Is a financial Croesus who can suggest a plan whereby a bond Issue which would place Los Angeles' bonded in debtedness beyond all lawful limits can be avoided. One proposal has been made that trust certificates or some other form of security not carrying an obligation of fixed debt service be adopted. Because the task was adjudged to be too great for prlvute enterprise, It has been recommended that pub llo funds and public supervision be used' 111 the demolition. There are 43 actual city blocks occupied by the hill: of these 30 are to be regraded Is plans are carried out. At the highest point Bunker Hill Is 140 feet high. ' Excavation Nniullest 4'ost Although the excavation of the' 8.800.000 cublo yards of dirt Is esti mated to cost only 4.67B,O0O. tne Initial expense ot acquiring the ter ritory Is high, being estimated at t22.333.632. However, since only the lower half of the hill Is ot any Immedi ate use, It Is planned to purchase It for $14,082,628 and remodel that section first. At present 29 per cent of this Is covered by office buildings, Id per cent by stores, 14 per cent by hotels, 10 per oent by lofts, 7 pef cent by department slores, 6 per cent by garogos end parking sta tions, the remainder by miscella neous enterprises. Blnce It is Just north of the heart of the business district, It values are somewhat aftecied hy property values there, statisticians who com piled the figures declared. Should Los Angeles attempt this project It will be following In the steps of Beattle, Wash., Milwaukee. Wis., and other cities lhat have found It necessary to change their natural contours to make way for natural growth. Owns Two Valuable Wuti-hes BELOIT, Wis.

The Important thing to agriculture Is to get farm land, livestock, crops and othor asset accepted by suite and federal bank examiners and by tho federal reserve board as accept able security for loons. The federal reserve system now accepts only "liquid" assota as farm collateral, and agriculture feols that through the Inability of financial Institutions to use farm mortgage paper with the federal reserve, farm loans have been minimized and loans already carried seriously re duced, . - , , , , t Hlg Farmer llainpetrd. , The' private banking system oi this country, however, always rifts operated on a "liquid" asset basis. preferring 00 and 90-day renewable notes to tho long-time credit in volved In farm collateral.

But Lin still wants to marry her, and refuses to break the engagement, which la a binding contract In China. The Judge did his best to reconcile the couple. Mlsa Wu asked the re turn of loans amounting to 93,400 she said she had given her fiance, end $1,000 damages, considered large In China. Miss Wu told the. judge she de served this amount because. If she had not been betrothed three years to the defendant, she would already have made a satisfactory marrlago. that the farmer with small holdings, but possessed of negotiable stocks and bonds found It easier to obtain bank louna than the farmer of large, capital luveatmont who hod only his property as security, .
