One day the editor stopped beside my desk and told me he wanted me to write a novel about Los Angeles to appear in serial form. Seven weeks later Spring Street was on his desk. I was assigned to write it as I would have been assigned as a reporter to cover a big story. Writing a novel to appear as a serial in a newspaper is vastly different from writing one for publication in book form. Spring Street was written primarily as a serial and is offered now as a book in response to requests by friends and from readers of The Evening Herald. Let me say that I lay no claim to being a novelist because I wrote Spring Street. I have sufficient pride in my profession to desire to be known only as a reporter. There are many to whom I owe thanks for their help and encouragement. Especially am I indebted to Dr. Frank F. Barham, publisher of The Evening Herald, and Mr. Edwin R. Collins, Mr. John B. T. Campbell and Mr. Wesley M. Barr, its editors. THE AUTHOR.
