LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. The Southern California R. R. Pays Its Taxes. Judge Brunson Argues the Maltreatment of Taxes in the Irrigation District—Their Assessment Reduced to Comply With the State Board of Equalization-Mate Divison-Bomball. On Thursday morning last the following matter was received at the office of the Anaheim Irrigation District: Southern California Railroad Co., Los Angeles, Jan. 8, 1890. A. B. Cadman, Tax Collector, Anaheim Irrigation District.—Dear Sir, Referring to your postal card of December 10th, in the matter of taxes claimed from this company the Anaheim Irrigation District. I have to say that there are certain irregularities in the manner in which the assessment was levied, which have rendered it impossible for us to give attention to the matter. Judge Brunson and myself propose to down on the morning train, Friday, however, and would be glad to meet and confer with the proper authorities with a view of arriving at an immediate settlement of the matter. Will you kindly arrange such an interview for us, and oblige? Mr. Truly, Frank H. Potter, Tax Commissioner. The members of the Board of Directors were at once summoned and a meeting was held for Friday morning at 10 o'clock. At hour the office of the district was filled with many of our citizens, who were drawn together by the announcement that Judge Brunson, attorney of the Southern California Railroad, would argue the irregularity of the company's assessment. The meeting was called to order promptly with the arrival of Messrs. Brunson and Potter the fall board being present. After the had been called by Secretary Gardiner, Judge Brunson at once began his argument, which lasted only a few minutes, he remarked that a short address would do as much as though he had talked all day. He said by saying that he and Mr. Potter came up spirit of friendliness, and that his railway company had never been delinquent in paying their taxes since its advent in California. The irregularity in the assessment, maintained, was the fact that the roadbed of the company had been assessed at $10,000 per mile, whereas the figures of the State Board of Equalization were $5,919.49 per mile. The Constitution of the State, he mentioned, prohibited the levying of any whatever above the figures placed. Someone else has taken notice about this issue. To the Citizens of Orange County. Having that the time has come for officers with attendance to abide by a division of half state of California and the adjudication of southern California into the Union on a separate state, and that Orange county, which has recently won such a victory on the question of self-government, could apparently lead in such a movement, and believing that it will be for the best benefit of Southern California to become a separate state, therefore the undersignified handy call a mere convention of all the citizens of Orange county, to meet in Springgreen's Hall in the city of Santa Ana, on Saturday, January 18, 1890, at 2 e'clock p.m., to take steps and initiate proceedings under the laws as shall tend to the accomplishment of the above-declared object. The Mathematic Game. The Orange baseball club failed to put in an appearance last Sunday, and a game was arranged between the home club and a picked nine from Orange, Santa Ana and Westminster. The nine was the strongest club the home team have yet played against, the visiting players being the crack ball-tomers of the towns named. They played under the name of the Westminster club, the home team waiving the right to claim a game from the Orange club on account of their non-appearance. The visitors won the game by a score of 12 to 10. They played a double battery and were pretty hard hitters, but it's dollars to doughnuts that the home team can beat them. The Westminsters won the tom and went into the Sald. The Anaheim boys were out in one two, three times, and when the visitors came to bat they scored six times before the side was out. However, the local team gradually pulled up on them and in the seventh inning lead by two tallies. In this innning the locals did some terrific batting and McGuffin was knocked out of the box. Clark being substituted, who in turn was knocked out, when Mellestt was substituted. No runs were made off the latter and by the hardest kind of luck the home team were beaten by two runs, after an exciting up-hill game against the best club they have played on the local diamond.

No more will tha After the full board being present, after the board had been called by Secretary Gardiner, Judge Branson at once began his argument, which lasted only a few minutes, he remarked that a short address would do as much as though he had talked all day. He asked by saying that he and Mr. Potter came up with a spirit of friendliness, and that his railroad company had never been delinquent in paying their taxes since its advent in California. The irregularity in the assessment, maintained, was the fact that the roadbed of the company had been assessed at $10,000 per mile, whereas the figures of the State Board of Equalization were $5,919.49 per mile. The Constitution of the State, without prohibiting the levying of any assessment whatever above the figures placed on property by the State Board of Equalization. The Judge cited a recent ruling of the Supreme Court to sustain his position. If the Board of Directors of the irrigation district were satisfied with accepting the railroad company's assessment upon the basis fixed by the State Board of Equalization, he said they were ready to waive a check for the amount. If not, he did not think the company would feel them called upon to pay the amount without a threat. He also referred to the company's telegraph, which had been assessed at $10 miles in the district, while in different counties of the southern part of the state through which their line runs the assessment is on a valuation of $35 per mile. Director Ryan—who acted in the capacity of President of the board, who was present but still—applied to Judge Brunson, and stated that the Board of Directors were inexperienced in the matter, and had made the railroad's assessment without being able to obtain the result of the deliberations of the State Board of Equalization. If the board were satisfied, however, that the argument of the attorney was correct, they would be said, upon consulting with the attorney of the board, promptly accept the choice of the railroad company for their taxes assigned by the State Board of Equalization. Mr. Melrose was thereupon called on for an opinion in the matter, and the meeting took place half an hour to allow him to report. When the meeting again came to order, Mr. Melrose made a report concurring with the opinion of Judge Brunson, and negotiated the introduction of a resolution to effect. The resolution was laid over until the next regularly adjourned meeting, that of Tuesday of this week, on account of special meeting being an informal affair, which no business could be transacted. After explaining this point to Judge Brunson, the meeting adjourned until Tuesday. When the Board of Directors again met on Tuesday there were present Directors Wrede, Hunter, Ryan and Zeyn. Director Ryan moved that the rules of order of business be suspended, in order to bear the claims of F. W. Sanborn concerning a reduction in his assessment. After hearing the argument the request was disallowed. Regular order of business was then resumed and minutes of last meeting, held January 7th, were read and approved. All communications received by the Secretary were read and ordered filed. The bill of the A.U.W.Co against the irrigation district was referred back, for further consideration, accompanied with the opinion of the attorney of the district. The bills of Messrs. Plez James and S.O. Wool were referred to a committee consisting of Directors Wrede and Zeyn, for settlement. The Executive Committee appointed December 28 reported progress. Director Ryan then introduced the following translation: It always gratifies us to receive letters of commendation from subscribers abroad, but the following, from a former resident of Anaheim, is especially flattering.

A game will be arranged with the Santa Ana club to take place a week from next Sunday, and another with the Westminster club at a later date. There is considerable talk of forming an Orange county league, with clubs at Anaheim, Santa Ana, Orange, Westminster and one or two other points in the county. This meets with the approval of jur boys, as in that event, at least they will not be called upon to play a picked nine from three clubs on the other side of the river. The Demurrer Case: The hearing of the demurrer in the case of the irrigation district was to have come up in Superior Court at Santa Ana last Friday, but by the following letter it will be seen that another delay, this time of two weeks, is the result. Secretary Gardiner received the letter from the attorney of the district on Friday. It reads: J.S.GazlinerSecretary.-DEAR SIR:-I was at Santa Ana to try the objections of the irrigation case, and the case was continued two weeks at defendant's representation that S.M.
