TTALUE OF PORT'S TONNAGE INCREASED $50,193,901 Unprecedented Gain is Caused by Nets Shippers $100,000,000 BY WILL O'BVRNE Real Estate and Industrial Editor The increased valuation of the tonnage that passed through the Lbs Angeles Harbor during the first eleven months of the fiscal year ended June 30 as compared to the same period in 1924 is represented by the astounding sum of $50,193,901. Figures showing this have been released, by officials of the Board of Harbor Commissioners and it is believed then when the total valuations for the year are announced the sum will indicate unmistakably the port's position as. the second most important on the continent and one of the busiest in the world.

Tim general architecture Is of flclals, shippers are saved between IB and $10 per ton on all tonnage that passes through the port. On that basis during the eleven-month period mentioned, there was saved to shippers of Southern California In freight tariffs approximately $100,000,000. The tremendous Increase In valuations Is Indicative o.f the growth of manufacturing in Southern California for It must be remembered that though the tonnage for the entire year Is. decreasing the valuations are snowing a decided Increase. This is explained by the fact that there is a constantly growing volume of manufactured products be-fnjr exported to foreign countries and that there Is an Increasing volume of goods manufactured hero being shipped by way of the Panama Canal to eastern points.

To mention but' one item, ahlp; loads of vegetable oils are received here, manufactured Into various commodities and reshlpped as such. With a wider dissemination of knowledge relative to the resources of Southern California, such as Ideal labor conditions, low cost fuel a.nd jpower, nearness to raw matorlals. good transportation both rail and ships, and ideal climatic conditions; manufacturing must continue to grow. With the unprecedented growth' pf Los Angeles and the geographical and. other natural advantages of the port its destiny us haven for world, commerce seems assured.

During June a fresh record was established In the movements of ships. There was a total of 546 ttie tonnage amounting to The departures numbered 65o shlp-4 with I.462.41S tons.

The tonnage that passed over tho municipal wharves only during April. May and Juna alpo showed u. healthy Increase according to S.

SardbergMraffl: niar- glT. In'Apill there passed over the municipal wharves a total of tons: in May 1.334.364 tons and In June there was decided Increase the total belnij tons. Commenting on tho tonnages, Mr. Sandberg said. "The commerce through tills Tmlor-Gothlc design and the atruc Construction activities are a splendid barometer of the prosperity and progress of any city.

So measured, -Los Angeles commands an enviable position compared to any other city in the United States. Building permits issued each month; buildings under way and buildings planned Indicate a record-breaking year. On another page of this section Is an Illustration which at first glance appears to" be a forest of steel and derricks but which on closer examination depicts the skeletons of what will be In the near future stately structures of various kinds. Reports from all parts of the Southland relative to building permits Issued show the same Increasing construction activity. Nor Is It confined to any particular class of building.

A study of the permits shows that they are made up of Industrial plants, business blocks, theaters, clubs, churches, municipal structures, schools, lodge buildings and a tremendous number of homes ranging from tho moderately priced to palatial mansions. It requires but a glance' at the various reports to understand thnt the growth Is normal along, all lines Illustrating In a most practical mariner an enviable prosperity. The marked increase In the building of homes speaks well for the stability or-Southern Callfori nla. Throughout the United States conditions are much the same. This 1b proved by construction ap-tlvltles measured In turn by' increased shipments of the cement Industry.

It used to be steel that was tho barometer. "What's steel doing?" was a common question whenever progress and prosperity was under discussion. In fact steel was long thought of as the pulse of the business world. Economists are' now asking, however, "What are the comparative cement shipments?" Cement Is a much belter measuring stick of the construction Industry and the Increase in shipments from the 135 plants In operation throughout-the country have been steadily Increasing. The Idea prevalent a few years ago that the greater portion of the cement produced was used In paving and highway work has been relegated to the limbo of other Illusions by the United States Geological Survey.
