The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Merry Knuckle, Charles Knuckle, Editor and Proprietor THURSDAY MAY 15, 1860 Our readers will find an interesting resolution in the report of the proceedings of the City Trustees in another column this morning. It relates to the indebtedness of the city incurred by the old Board of Trustees. Part of this indebtedness, it is claimed, was illegally contracted, and a resolution was drawn up last week deferring its payment for the present. The illegality was said to have been inherent in the fact that the indebtedness was incurred in contravention to a section of the Municipal Government Act which provides that no debts shall be created beyond the amount of money received by the city government during the term of the acting City Trustees. This is a point, we believe, that has never before been raised in the annals of our city, and is one of peculiar interest to those of our citizens who may have an interest in the city's indebtedness. The resolution was, however, defeated yesterday. Some newspapers as the Anaheim Budget, which last week climbed the golden stair, and several others situated not a hundred miles from here, are the very bane of respectable newspaper existence. No sooner do they launch themselves upon the journalistic sea than a systematic undermining of reputable business methods is inaugurated, and a system of cut-throat competition set in motion. No business can be so speedily crippled as that of newspaper advertising. Too often the advertiser looks not at the benefits accruing from a large circulation which the established newspaper gives him, but to the fact that cheaper rates, rumors to established publishers, are offered him by some fly-up-the-creek and worthless newspaper, which, in order to obtain a foothold in the community, sets about a presumption system of undermining that is absolutely impossible in other lines of business. Local advertisers are crowded to the wall, and preferred positions are given up to foreign patent-machine advertisements, generally of such indecent character that no man would care to have the paper in his family. We have repeatedly been tended forward advertisement. WRANGLING CITY DADS. Status of the Town's Indebtedness. Part of It Beclared to Have Been Illegally Contracted, but the Board Decide to Pay It Just the Name A Defended Revolution Street Sprinkling, City Printing and Other Matters of Interest. The Honorable the Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday afternoon. Present, Trustees Reiner, Littlefield, Witte, Schnuler and Bennerscheidt. Minutes of last meeting were read, and after corrections, were approved. Finance Committee asked further time in their investigation of the books of the Clerk, Treasurer and Marshal. They reported that Mr. Chynoweth had been engaged as an expert upon the books at a salary of $4 per day, and had not yet completed his work. The Ordnance Committee reported Ordinance No. 69, relating to the execution of a license tax from insurance agents within the corporate limits of the town. The same will be found in our advertising columns. Board discussed the changing of the meeting place of the board. Next week an ordinance will be drawn up referring to the matter. No action was taken on the subject yesterday. Contract with H.C. Grade in reference to street sprinkling submitted and signed. Mr. Schnuler was authorized to superintend the work of the sprinkler. Under the head of new business the Clerk read the following resolution submitted by Mr. Witte at last week's meeting: Witness: The late Board of Trustees, our immediate predecessors in office, have contracted liabilities or indebtedness, in whose contrary to the provisions of Section 305 of the Municipal Corporation Act, approved March 13, 1863, and amended in 1869 and 1870. The sum of $1,564.25 of said indebtedness so allowed by our predecessors has not yet been paid for want of funds with which to pay the same; now, therefore, be it. Known: That it is the sense of this board that the contracting and allowing of the above indebtedness by our immediate predecessors was in violation of the statutes in such cases made and provided, and that the acts of said board in contracting and allowing said claims, other than claims for failure was unlawful illicit and fraudulent. but to the fact that cheaper rates, rumors to established publishers, are offered him by some fly-up-the-creek and worthless news-paper, which in order to obtain a foothold in the community, sets about a presumption system of undermining that is absolutely impossible in other lines of business. Local advertisers are crowded to the wall, and preferred positions are given up to foreign patent medicine advertisements, generally of such indecent character that no man would care to have the paper in his family. We have repeatedly been tendered foreign advertising of this sort. The business has been uniformly rejected. These advertisements sent to the late lamented Budget were promptly given a place in its columns. Moreover, their numerous rates about one fourth that given to local advertisers would be held by foreign advertisers as a leverage against us in vertisements of another and cleaner character. We make it a practice to charge foreign advertisers the same rates as are given home advertisers. Failing to pay that, their business is excluded from our columns. If local business houses would understand that their advertisements, inserted in small papers as the Budget and others not far from here, are crowded aside by foreign advertisements which pay about one fourth of our home rates, and which insist on unwritten preferred positions, while home advertisements are forced to take the places left for them if local advertisers knew this, they would use more polygment in placing their business before the public. So far as news is concerned, no one ever thought our deceased contemporary "held a candle" to us in any particular whatsoever. But a dribbling support was accorded it on the part of some who wanted two papers here," irrespective of the fact that the advertising patronage of our city is insufficient to sustain both papers. When the time comes for two or three papers here we shall gladly welcome them, but there is no place at present for a worthless sheet to prey upon legitimate advertising patronage. Our friend Cadman, the good-looking collector of the irrigation district, is noted for being one of the luckiest mortals on earth. A single instance will suffice to substantiate this statement. At the meeting of the Board of Directors of the irrigation district on Tuesday the spirit of retrenchment that has characterized the new board had progressed so far as to assail the advisability of retaining the Collector at his present minimum salary—$50 per month. Both Directors Spencer and Crowther, although admitting that Cadman filled his office to the queen's taste, argued nevertheless that Economy should prevail, and that the Collector should henceforth content himself with the few accruing from the office and relinquish all claims to his salary. It looked pretty blue for the Collector's salary for a while, when Director At their meeting on Wednesday of last week, the board was considering the sprinkling of streets, when the President was taken ill and an adjournment was ordered until Thursday at 2 o'clock. Shortly after that time the board met again and took up the matter of street sprinkling. Three bids had been submitted on Wednesday: Henry Boge agreed to sprinkle seven days per week for $45 per month. H. C. Gade offered Our distinguished friend, Colonel and Coroner Pooh-Bah, traced his lineage back even to a preadamite, post-glacial, protoplasmic, atomic globule. Our esteemed and razzle-dazzle contemporary, the Santa Ana Free Press, traces the source of its "differences" with us back to sundry and divers rumors, more or less reliable, alleged to have been current "years and years ago." It prays for the restoration of the entire coralife, and promises never again to launch the more or less deadly harpoon of its apolonaria criticium against us. We always knew our contemporary was "atnok" on our robust and manly form, so we hasten to say that all our references to it (our contemporary, not our shape) were meant purely in a Pickwickian genus. At their meeting on Wednesday of last week, the board was considering the sprinkling of streets, when the President was taken off and an adjournment was ordered until Thursday at 2 o'clock. Shortly after that time the board met again and took up the matter of street sprinkling. Three bids had been submitted on Wednesday: Henry Boege agreed to sprinkle seven days per week for $45 per month; H. C. Gade offered to do the work for $53 per month of seven days per week, or $45 per month without Sunday sprinkling, or at the rate of $1.90 per day; F. Mickle offered to do the job for $299.99 for six months. Boege's bid was the lowest, but when the matter was called up on Thursday the Secretary read a letter from him withdrawing his bid. The ball was set rolling by Mr. Littlefield, who thought that it was unfair to sprinkle the city part and not the outside streets. The new board had entered upon a system of retrenchment and he thought that in the matter of street sprinkling the board should also exercise economy. Mr. Schindler thought that all the citizens of the city would be benefited by driving through sprinkled streets while in town, instead of dusty ones. Mr. Bennersheelt suggested that the expense of sprinkling would be taken out of the License Fund. The Chairman coincided with Mr. Littlefield. He thought that, if the inside streets were sprinkled, outer ones should be also. The streets should undoubtedly be sprinkled, but not at the city's expense. He thought the furnishing of city water free was enough, and that the business men of the city should pay for the sprinkling themselves. Mr. Witte considered that the sprinkling of streets was a benefit to everybody. Strangers come to town and seeing the dusty streets go away disguised. He thoughts no injustice would bedone to outsiders by having the streets sprinkled in town. After a further discussion of the subject, the previous question was moved and the sprinkling was ordered by the following vote: Ayes—Witte, Schindler and Banner-scheuldt. Nons—Reiser and Littlefield. On the question arising as to whether the streets should be sprinkled six or seven days per week, the President thought the sprinkler should be given a holiday on Sundays. Mr. Schindler moved that the bid of $45 CITY DADS. the Town's needness. Board of City Trustees yesterday afternoon.

C. Gale be accepted. Be ordered. Mr. Wittie offered a resolution to the effect that on the first Monday of each month a sum not exceeding $60 be set aside to pay for street sprinkling, the name to be taken from the General Fund from money collected for income tax. The City Trammer and City Clerk were authorised to make the proper entrances on the books and to otherwise comply with the resolution. Carried. Aye—Schindler, Witte and Bennerchmidt, Trammers Keiser and Littlefield not voting. Mr. Wittie was requested to draw up the necessary contract. The city printing was awarded Tax Gazette at 20 cents per square. Dr. Gardiner appeared before the board in reference to the inability of the property-holders living below the Broadway extension to get water. The opening of Broadway was done by the A. U. W. Co., and the company will ask to be compensated by the city. The matter went over for a week. F. H. Miller was appointed Deputy Constable. He submitted his oath of office, which was accepted by the board. In reply to a question by H.C. Kallogg, if there was a Board of Health in existence, he was informed that none existed yet, but that steps would be taken to create a Board of Health at some future time. Adjourned.

Scrofula In Its Worst Form—"White Swelling" Cured. The remarkable effect of Hood's Saraparilla in the following case illustrates the power of this medicine over all blood diseases: "My son, 7 years old, had a white swelling come on his right leg below the knee, which contracted the muscles so that his leg was drawn up at right angles. Physicians lanced the swelling, which discharged freely, but did not help him materially. I considered him" A Confirmed Cripple. I was about to take him to Cincinnati for an operation expecting his leg would have to be taken off, and began giving him Hood's Saraparilla in order to get up his strength. The medline woke up his appetite, and soon pieces of bone were discharged from the sore. We continued with Hood's Saraparilla, as it seemed to be doing him so much good, and the discharge from the sore decreased, the swelling went down, the leg straightened out, and in a few months he had perfect use of his leg. He is now apparently as A Chiel Amang Va. South Riverside Bee While in Anaheim a few days ago we had the pleasure of a drive around the country for which we have to thank W. A. Witte. That gentleman drove us out to Fullerton, North Anaheim and other portions of the country surrounding the mothercolony. We noticed that the orange trees that have received good attention look exceedingly well and the large Gilman orchard looks splendid. We sampled some of the fruit and it was certainly much better than we looked for. Over 100 carloads of oranges have been shipped from there this season and there are more to ship. The vineyards that have been allowed to remain and that have received attention are beginning to have a decidedly better appearance than a year ago. We were greatly surprised at the improvements in and around Anaheim. Many new buildings have been erected, good cement sidewalks laid and hundreds of acres set out to vines and orange trees in the past two years. Mr. Witte has the prettiest place in the city that we happened to see and we hope that he and his family may longenjoy it. "A Narrow Minded Sectarian Fraud." Santa Ana Standard The Examiner is a grand old paper and does much for our country, but it is not allowed inside of the library of Santa Ana. The Los Angeles Herald is the old pillar upon which the prosperity of Los Angeles county has leaned for seventeen years, but it is not allowed in the Santa Ana reading room. The Santa Ana Standard has done a little hard work for Orange county in the past seven years, but it was excluded from the public library two years ago when it was fighting prohibition. These papers are all Democratic. Not a Democratic paper in the United States is allowed to go into the Santa Ana library, yet the people call it a public reading-room. We smile at these little things, and laughed when we were notified two years ago that no anti-prohibition paper would be admitted into the charmed circle of the short-haired sisters who run that little narrow-minded sectarian fraud, the Santa Ana public library.

Can Such Things Be? S. F. Spirit of the Times, May 10. There is an individual by the name of Judge R. B. Carpenter who has been traveling through the State favoring Markham and abusing Waterman. He made a political speech at a dinner against the wishes of his host. This individual came into the Governor's office, we are informed, during the session of the last Legislature, and deliberately threatened the Governor if he signed the bill dividing Los Angeles county he should not have a vote from that county for Governor. The Governor remarked to him, "I will say to you what I said to Senator Boggs relative to Colusa county, on the first day of the session, if the division of the county is submitted to a vote of the people interested, I will sign the bill, and the same with Orange county." Carpenter left, threatening dire vengeance. He came again, and then promised the Governor all the votes of Los Angeles county if he would appoint a gentleman named Redick, a newcomer to the State, one of the Superior Judges under the bill increasing the number in Los Angeles county. The Governor did not accede to either request; hence the tears of Judge Carpenter. Avery and Everhardy's Lard comes in plain tin can.
