LOS ANGELES IS O.| Pens Glowing Description of Califor- nia Wonder City in Letter to Editor of The Weekly Talk Robert A. Fisher, formerly of Win- netka and now of Los Angeles, Cali- fornia, rivals the celebrated "native son" as a booster for the Sunflower state in general and the wonder city, Los Angeles, in particular. writing from Pasacesa, California, Mr. Fisher has the following glowing details to bring to the attention of Winnetkans via the Weekly Talk: "I am glad to have the Talk every week, as it keeps m in touch with home activities. "We are enjoying the wonderful sights here, about which much is written, and wonder if, in contrast, you would be interested in some real facts about the commercial side of Los Angeles, a city that will, in a few years, be a rival to Chicago and New York. Harbor Facilities "The roads here are all like boule- most complete, modern and highly efficient steamship terminals in the United States. Ships drawing thir- ty-five feet of water can tie up to a concrete wharf, without pilotage. There are over eight miles of con- crete wharves and nearly thirty miles for the future development. A great railway terminal has tracks connect- ing directly with our great trans- continental system of railways. In addition to two large shipyards for steel shipbuilding and several smaller yards work is under way for an in- ner-harbor dry-dock, where the larg- ost ocean-going boats may be repair- ed. "The roads hart are all like boule- vards making it a great pleasure to drive everywhere. Three or four hundred mile auto tours are not con- sidered a week-end feat. There are 1,500 Flivvers sold in the county ev- ery month. Yes, we have Packards, too. Industries Boom "Over 400 new factories have been added to Los Angeles in 1920. There now are more than 4,000 factories in the city. "Many fine office buildings have been completed recently and many more are being constructed. There are no vacancies; in fact, the space is accounted for long before comple- ion. "More than 2,000 shipments of household furniture have arrived by rail in the last two months, and 500 more are on the way. It is impossible to estimate the number of newcomers, having only the figure 2,500 covering the number of households, but it would be safe to say four for each family. Since the last Federal Census we have gained over 200,000. "Our water comes from the Sierras, 265 miles away. On the way down Los Angeles utilizes this water in the development of 72,000 horse power of hydro-electric energy. They are con- sidering further use of the water to add 178,000 hrose power. "Sit up and take notice'. Los Ang- eles is coming to the front. The city is 43 miles long and 30 miles wide." Rubbing It In. She (bitterly) --"Mv parents literal. ly sold me to you."
