A study of the proposed Santa Fe extension from the present Redondo Branch at El Segundo to Los Angeles Harbor

The Los Angeles Harbor at San Pedro with its natural advantages, and the big development of these now underway, will very soon be the key to the traffic routes of Southern California. The Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe railway company realizing this and, not wishing to be caught asleep, has planned to build a line from El Segundo to the harbor. The developments of the harbor are not the only developments taking place in these localities and the proposed new line is intended to include these also.

A comparison of the costs of operation of the motor bus, Birney safety car, and trolley bus on the local transportation routes in Pasadena

With the installation by the Pacific Electric Railway of a bus system in Pasadena to supplant most of its trolley lines, the problem of the comparison of the costs of the two systems naturally presented itself. The study here undertaken was originally started as just a comparison of the motor bus and Birney Safety Car, but as the work progressed it seemed advisable to include the trolley bus as well - a method of transportation that is comparatively new as far as development is concerned, but which seems to be finding increasing favor in the East.

A study of the durability of concrete in sea water

The durability of concrete in sea water has been a very widely debated question from the time that disintegration of concrete in sea water first became evident. Numerous investigations and reports have been made of isolated structures in various parts of the country and from these, hasty conclusions have been reached which engineers, situated where different conditions prevail, have not been warranted in accepting. A few engineers have made investigations of a much wider scope and consequently their conclusions should be given greater weight.

Report on the Linda Vista bridge site

The Linda Vista Bridge spans the Arroyo Seco about a quarter of a mile above the Colorado Street Bridge, but serves an entirely different territory; as there is no road between there on the west bank. Los Angeles, Hollywood, and several of the beach cities can be reached by the way of the Colorado Street Bridge. The Linda Vista Bridge carries the traffic to the northwest of Pasadena, that is, Flintridge, Linda Vista, Montrose, Sunland. After leaving the bridge, the road follows the west bank of the Arroyo almost to the mouth of the canyon; then to the west along the foot of the mountains and into the San Fernando Valley.
