Southern Californian GEO. C. KNOX... EDITOR. SATURDAY. APRIL 25, 1874. THE BOLSA CHICA WHARF PROJECT. Below we publish a report of the proceedings of a public meeting, held at Enterprise Hall on last Wednesday evening for the purpose of considering the propriety of constructing a shipping wharf at or near Anaheim Landing. The importance and necessity of this undertaking is so generally appreciated by our citizens, living west of the Santa Ana river, that any public mention of the subject is almost unnecessary, but as it is a matter in which the citizens of Orange, Santa Ana and Tustin City are equally interested and inasmuch as their co-operation and support is invited, we deem it advisable to discuss the project at some length. For some time past it has been a question whether the Anaheim Lighter Company, even with increased shipping facilities, would prove able to handle the yearly increasing grain and wool crops, whose natural outlet was at their place of business. That this question has been considered by the Trustees of that Company as well as by outside parties, we feel assured from the remarks of the President of the Company, at the meeting on Wednesday. As will be seen by reference to our report he states that it is the opinion of himself and colleagues, that twice the number of lighters, now used, would be unable to handle the crops, now maturing. In view of these facts, and in order to lighten the heavy tax upon the producer, which the system of lighterage necessarily imposes, inquiries have been made in regard to the possibility of constructing a wharf or wharves, and regarding their capabilities for shipping. Investigation has elicited the following facts: That wharf struc- An unusually large number of citations from Anaheim and vicinity assembled Wednesday evening, pursuant to a made in the CALIFORNIAN of April. The meeting having been called to by Wm. R. Olden, Hon. Edard E. Fairview, was elected Chairman and C. Knox Secretary pro tem. By request the Chairman, Mr. Olden explained object for which the call had been made. He stated that a public meeting had suggested in order to take into consideration the project of constructing a wharf Bolsa Chica Landing, and to discuss propriety of the organization of a Transportation Company, for purpose; explained at some length many advantages which the land question presented over other points greater convenience to each section Santa Ana valley, both by distance accessibility, and the favorable disposition of the Los Angeles Land Company owners of the land at Bolsa Chica, to the enterprise. Upon the conclusion remarks, John Fischer, President Anaheim Lighter Company, in a few timed words, alluded to the insistence the Lighter Company to handle the freight which was offered to the shipment, and stated that judging experience of the past year, it would require more than twice the present capacity of the Company to do so the Anaheim Lighter Company wharf franchise, expiring in 1888; he did not doubt would be surrendered a company such as Mr. Olden ppt that the company had, up to that time, complied with the requirements this franchise, and in conclusion of following resolution: Resolved, That a committee appointed by the Chairman to resolutions, expressive of the senate community regarding the organ- Company, at the meeting on Wednesday. As will be seen by reference to our report he states that it is the opinion of himself and colleagues, that twice the number of lighters, now used, would be unable to handle the crops, now maturing. In view of these facts, and in order to lighten the heavy tax upon the producer, which the system of lighterage necessarily imposes, inquiries have been made in regard to the possibility of constructing a wharf or wharves, and regarding their capabilities for shipping. Investigation has elicited the following facts: That wharf structures are practicable at any point on the California coast, and that their carrying capacity can be made equal to any demand, which may arise. The wharves, now in operation at different points on the coast, north of San Francisco, where the weather is proverbially stormy, give evidence to the durability of such structures; the favorable ear, which San Francisco capitalists incline to the enterprise, shows that it is not only a necessity, but an undertaking, pecuniarily profitable to the investor. However, it is not as a speculation, but as a necessity that the enterprise is agitated at the present time, and for this reason, both farmer and merchant, in a word, all who are interested in exporting or importing, whether of Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana or Westminster, are invited to subscribe to the capital stock of the contemplated association and to take an active individual interest in its successful furtherance. In selecting a location, three points presented themselves—Newport, Anaheim Landing and the Bolsa Chica Landing. Newport was situated at too great a distance from the lands lying west of the Santa Ana river, and Anaheim Landing is owned by Michael Reese, who has proved himself to be a green horn mountain in the way of public improvement. Bolsa Chica Landing, which is owned by the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company, who promise every assistance to further the erection of a wharf, presents itself most favorably for consideration. Added to this, soundings taken by the officers of the Coast Survey, have demonstrated that at the last named point, a wharf, eighteen hundred feet in length, will have at its terminus a depth of seventeen feet of water at low tide, and that the same length of wharf, which would be required at Anaheim Landing to reach a similar depth of water, would give to the Bolso Chica wharf twenty six feet of water at low tide. Besides the road to Bolsa Chica Landing is over hard ground for the entire distance, and thus lightens materially the cost of transportation to the point of shipment. The advantages of a wharf, owned by the producer, are too manifold to require enumeration. Two benefits in this particular instance, however, loudly assert Resolved That a committee appointed by the Chairman to resolutions, expressive of the sent community regarding the organa Wharf Company at Bolsa Chica to confer with the Anaheim Light company regarding the subject, and the preliminary steps for the orga of the said Wharf Company. This resolution was passed unanimously and Messrs. Olden, Fischer and Kappointed as the committee, to which motion, the Chairman was addressee then adjourned to meet prise Hall on Monday evening no 27th.) at 8 o'clock P.M. THE WOOL-GROWERS' CIATION. On Saturday next the adjournure of the wool-growers of Los county will be held at the Court of the city of Los Angeles. Now close of the shearing season has leisure to sheep raisers. we tru full attendance may be given that the intention of the associate be thoroughly and understandably plained to those persons, whom ciation seeks to benefit. Since meeting: held in Los Angeles a month of March, several instances occurred, which tend toward an action of the beneficial effect to from co-operation. The main instance, and the one which are forcibly to each individual shearer the robbery of Repetto by Vary early part of the present month an organization such as has been it would be rendered unnecessarily, residing in isolated excite the cupidity of law keeping on hand large amount. The association proposes to all branches of service for each its society. Another illustrative evils, arising from non co-open in the excessive and burdensome is now being levied upon tha sheep-raiser. As the case stands, each individual sheep appear before the Board of Ec protest against the ruling rate Under the protecting supervisive operative society, where all us for one, and where each indict for all, it can be easily uneasy relief granted in one instant attended by the same relief for fraternity. These instances The advantages of a wharf, owned by the producer, are too manifold to require enumeration. Two benefits in this particular instance, however, loudly assert themselves; the one is that the farmer by this means is enabled to have direct communication with all competing lines of ocean transportation, unhampered by any opposing influences; the other is that all lines of railway, which may pass through the valley of the Santa Ana river, will be compelled to lower their freight tariff to living rates in order to obtain the patronage of our citizens. With a wharf, organized and conducted upon co-operative principles, transportation monopolies become powerless to inflict injury, and it is with this purpose in view that the proposed enterprise has been presented to the public. We trust, therefore, that our friends and neighbors on the east bank of the Santa Ana river will send delegations to the meeting to be held at Enterprise Hall on Monday evening next, and that they will unite cordially with us in accomplishing an enterprise, fraught with so many capabilities for good to themselves. COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT SCHOOL TAXES. There is one feature in a late enactment regulating the collection of delinquent school taxes, which may not be generally known, and which it is as well that parties interested should be advised of. The law makes it the duty of the District Attorney to commence a civil action, in the name of the People of the State, against all delinquents, and in any of the Courts of Justice within the county. One section of this law, referring to costs of such action, reads thus: "If in such action the amount is paid, or the plaintiff recovers judgment, then shall be endorsed on such judgment the sum of ten dollars as attorney's fee." THE FINANCE After a protracted Cab held on Tuesday last, he turned to the Senate without the Finance Bill, better knowniation Bill. In his mess his action, he states "that he concealed that the bill paper circulation of the amount of one hundred which in his belief is a definite principle of finance, and would be a departure from Congress by him on that."

Westminster continues floating on her way down the stream of time so quietly and with such an even keel, that the passengers which she bears on to their destiny scarcely feel the effects of the voyage. Winter vorges into Spring, and Spring into Summer, with scarcely a perceptible change. Some passengers arrive, settle quietly into their allotted places and commence the building of their homes in the same quiet, unobtrusive way that the swallows do. Occasionally one departs, but his place is so soon occupied by another, that we hardly perceive the change. We speed on joyfully, all hearts filled with gratitude and praise for the many merciestowed. Do not think, my dear sir, that the somnolent ruler of Sleepy Hollow has spread his sombre wing over our homes. By no means. The first sweet warble of the birds, as they herald the coming of Aurora, rouses us from our peaceful slumbers, and ere the golden car of Phæbus starts on its daily course, all is life and activity; but I do mean that everything moves along so smoothly that your chronicler can find but little to communicate.

Haswell, that the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company had refused to pay taxes upon land included within the boundaries of their ranches. This statement I pronounce to be a deliberate lie, without the slightest excuse or foundation in fact. On the contrary, it is well known that the Company are never in the deliquent tax lists, and that their own lands are assessed as highly in proportion to their value as the lands of any small proprietors in this section of the county. WM. R. OLDEN, Agent L. A., and S. B. Land Co. Anaheim, April 23d, 1874. NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT. Office of North Anaheim Canal Saturday next the adjourned meeting of wool-growers of Los Angeles will be held at the Court House in city of Los Angeles. Now that the shearing season has left some sheep raisers we trust that attendance may be given in order to the intention of the association may thoroughly and understandingly extend to those persons, whom the associa seeks to benefit. Since the last hold in Los Angeles during the month of March, several instances have been used, which tend toward a demonstration of the beneficial effect to be derived co-operation. The most striking force, and the one, which appeals most likely to each individual sheep owner, is robbery of Repetto by Vasquez in the part of the present month. Under organization such as has been proposed should be rendered unnecessary for individuals, residing in isolated localities, to be the cupidity of lawless men by being on hand large amounts of coin association proposes to hire and pay branches of service for each member of society. Another illustration of the arising from non co-operation exists the excessive and burdensome tax, which now being levied upon the property of sheep-raiser. As the case at present leads, each individual sheep-owner must bear before the Board of Equalization to test against the ruling rates of taxation, over the protecting supervision of a cooperative society, where all unitedly work one, and where each individual works all, it can be easily understood that if granted in one instance, would be tendered by the same relief for the whole eternity. These instances, however, THE FINANCE BILL. After a protracted Cabinet meeting, held on Tuesday last, the President returned to the Senate without his signature on Finance Bill, better known as the Invention Bill. In his message regarding its action, he states "that the fact can not concealed that the bill increases the per circulation of the country to the amount of one hundred million dollars, which in his belief is a departure from the principles of finance, and its approval would be a departure from every message Congress by him on that subject." THE GRANGERS' CONVENTION. The State Convention of the Patrons of husbandry of California, organized on Tuesday in San Francisco with G. W. Colby as President. Their sessions are conducted in secret, although any matter of general public interest will be published as soon as definite action may have been made. We understand that the result of their deliberations is looked forward to with much interest, as several questions, primarily important to the farmer, will be materially affected by their action.
