New office buildings will also have to meet the latest building codes, which incorporate low-flush toilets and low-flow bathroom fixtures. Dziegielewski said that in the short term, many businesses will not be able to reduce water consumption by the levels recommended by Bradley and other local politicians.

"In a drought," the professor said, "some success could be achieved, but 10 is a bit steep." Venegas of the DWP said the only sure way to cut water use in Los Angeles "is to put a fence around the city and keep people out." BATTLING THE MEDFLY Los Angeles Times Los Angeles County will conduct aerial spraying of malathion tonight from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., weather permitting.

Continued from Bl largely incomplete and some users' estimates on future consumption were found to be drastically off within a year of the audit, The Times found in a review of the audits. Star-Kist predicted that its use of water would rise only 20 between 1988 and 1989, but it actually jumped 61 Regardless of the quantity or quality of the information in the the water agency has made little effort to study or compile data on big users. The sole use of the information by the DWP to date has been to identify eight firms with "exceptional water conservation programs" for an awards presentation last May, Venegas said.

Otherwise, the files have sat unused. Now, with California in the fourth year of a drought, Venegas acknowledged that things have changed and that it is time to reach the 90 companies that have not cooperated and find out how much water they are consuming. But reducing overall water use at big businesses can be difficult. "It would be awful hard for us," said Jim Kyle, supervising engineer at Unocal's giant Wilmington refinery. "We've been watching our conservation 'Ps' and 'Qs' all along, there's not much else to take away," he said.

Unocal recycles water in its refining process and has recently sunk a well to use brackish ground water in an effort to cut use of DWP water. Still, Kyle said, Unocal could probably not meet the mayor's demand for a 10 cut without also cutting production. The Westin-Bonaventure Hotel, the 67th largest water user, which was honored by the DWP last year for its record in conserving water, also said it is at the limit of cutting water use. The downtown hotel said it has reduced its water use by 21 in recent years by recycling water in its laundry operation and cooling towers and by installing low-flush toilets and low-flow showerheads. Any more reductions, the hotel said, and "it will affect our guests' comfort." Other users say the ups and downs of their consumption are largely beyond their control.

Forest Lawn Memorial Park, the 29th largest user, said 99 of its use is in irrigation, and that largely depends on the weather. The cem- BUILDING Continued from Bl Whether they consider it a cheerful sight or an eyesore, some Burbank residents fear the unique architecture will draw more gawk-ers to the area and add to the neighborhood's traffic. Remy Guzman, who has lived in Burbank for 18 years, laughed one morning as she watched parking tickets being slapped on about 10 cars along her street. "She had a ball," Guzman said of the ticketer. Guzman lives on Brighton Street across from Disney Studios and said she likes the new building, but can no longer see the Hollywood Hills because of it.

From her porch, the building's inescapable presence reminds her that Burbank is no longer a sleepy town. "Look at the tourists driving here to see our place," Guzman said. "Traffic is going to be terrible. Before, it was a small town. Now it will not be so quiet anymore." Some folks wish they could doctor the building paint the dwarfs bright colors, put Snow White welcoming folks at the entrance, and turn the building around so that the sick children across Buena Vista Street at St.

Joseph Medical Center can be cheered by the sight. "Leave that building alone!" said Rosalind Gee, waving her hand in the air to give imaginary slaps to all those people fussing about the Disney building. "It's Disney. That's what's Disney's about," said Gee, a claims adjuster. Other Burbank residents, who otherwise might have turned up their noses at the building, said they liked the building because they have fond memories of Disney cartoons.

"God, I remember when I was a kid and I saw 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' and it brings back memories of 'Bambi' and all Walt Disney's original movies," said mailman Jim Avery, who has lived in Burbank 29 years. "They were things that made you feel good inside." PROPERTY AUCTIONS Investors, builders 17,2800 sq. ft. fix up lot. Please come and bid $15,000 cash or cashiers check required.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS Alexander Khalifman scored 7-2 to win the $20,000 first prize in the International section of the 1990 New York Open.

The little-known 24-year old International Master from the Soviet Union defeated GM Ferdinand Hellers of Sweden in the final round Tuesday to edge past his countrymen IM Vladimir Epishin and IM Leonid Yudasin, GM Helgi Ofafs-son of Iceland, and 15-year old Gata Kamsky of Brooklyn, who tied for second place at There were 33 GM's and 21 IM's in the field of 63 players. Next at 6-3 were GM Joel Benjamin of New York, GM Smbat Lputian of the Soviet Union, and IM Patrick Wolff of Massachusetts. Hellers, IM Alexander Wojtkiewicz of Poland, IM Alexander Machulsky and GM's Jan Ehlvest, Yefim Geller, Konstantin Lerner, Mikhail Tal, and Rafael Vaganian of the Soviet Union, IM Igor Ivanov of San Pedro, GM Maxim Dlugy of New Jersey, and GM Yasser Seirawan of Seattle all finished with 5V4-3J4. Khalifman achieved his fourth grandmaster norm, which should assure him of receiving the grandmaster title at the World Chess Federation meeting later this year. Epishin, Kamsky, Wolff, and Yudasin also made GM norms.

Kamsky, who defected from the Soviet Union after the 1989 New York Open, registered another impressive performance against tough competition. One of his victims was former world champion Tal.

Its landscape supervisors belong to the California Turf Grass Council, whose mission is to conserve water while growing fine, green grass, the cemetery said. Still, Forest Lawn's water use went up by 3 from 1988 to 1989, representing enough water to serve 203 families for a year. Some businesses have even less: control of water use.

Operators of the First Interstate: Bank tower in downtown Los Angeles reported in their 1988 audit, that "our water consumption significantly increased due to the recent fire." The high-rise tower was nearly lost in a May, 1988, fire: that gutted six floors before firefighters brought it under control. Anheuser Busch, the nation's: largest brewer, clearly takes its water use seriously. In its 1988 audit, Anheuser officials wrote: "Our water and sewer meters are read daily, compiled daily and compared with forecasted usage. Variances are reported and must be explained." In the last 10 years, the brewer doubled its use of water, but tripled its production of beer. Officials said their efficiency has improved b' 60 since 1971.

Water is getting expensive and getting rid of it is even more expensive. For instance, Hughes Aircraft the 48th largest user, spends nearly five times more on sewer charges than on its water. So business has an incentive to cut its use as much as possible. Benedykt Dziegielewski, a geography professor at Southern Illinois University and a consultant on water use to the Metropolitan Water District, said some of the greatest gains in business conservation have already been achieved, par ticularly in heavy industries like local aircraft and defense firms. But there are trends in business that will help conserve water, he added.
