CITY FATHERS FIFTY DOLLARS DONATED TO THE RATIFICATION FUND — PETITION OF TIM BOEGE ASKING TO HAVE THE DITCH ON CENTER STREET, NEAR F. MICKEL'S PLACE, REMAIN—ROUTINE BUSINESS. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening; present, Rust, Lewis, Helmsen and Conrad. Marshal Steadman reported the collection of $300 85 for water and licenses. The license delinquencies for the month amount to $9, and water delinquencies to $8 40. The Treasurer reported a balance of $1,785 16 in the city treasury on April 8th. A balance of $5,548 70 was reported in the electric light fund. The Clerk's monthly report was received and filed. Recorder Pierce reported the collection of $10 for fines during the past month. The reports were referred to the Finance Committee for examination. A committee consisting of Messrs. Fay, Cahen and Brown appeared before the board in behalf of the Executive Committee, who have in charge the ratification of the completion of the electric light plant in this city. Mr. Fay asked to have the council decorate the City Hall for this evening in honor of the event, besides the hanging of a festoon at the intersection of Los Angeles and Center streets and have an electrical display at the City Hall. A donation of $50 was also asked from the city to help defray expenses for the celebration. Trustee Lewis moved that the amount be given, which was seconded by Trustee Conrad. Trustee Helmsen asked whether or not the city could legally donate the amount for that purpose. The question was put, and carried, Lewis and Conrad voting "yes," and Helmsen voting "no." The advisability of making an electrical display of incandescent lights at the City Hall was discussed. It would require about 100 lights to decorate the hall properly, but as only 45 incandescent lights are on hand that decoration was dispensed with. It was decided that the hall be decorated with bunting and garlands of flowers and evergreens, which will be interspersed with Japanese lanterns. Mr. Fay extended thanks to the council for their favors, which were received gracefully, and the committee retired. The Committee on Public Improvements reported the filling in of chuckholes on the principal streets. Tim Boege and others presented the following petition: To the Honorable Board of City Trustees of the city of Anaheim: We, the undersigned taxpayers and property owners, respectfully petition your honorable body in answer to a petition of F. Mickel and others, presented to you Marbh 26, 1895, to take no action that will interfere with the irrigation WE WILL CELEBRATE THE INAUGURATION OF THE ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT TO BE FITTINGLY OBSERVED BY OUR CITIZENS TONIGHT. Anaheim does not propose to be outdone by its enterprising neighbors, those who are forging ahead with public improvements, and we have taken steps to celebrate the advent of the electric light in our midst in a patriotic manner. The administration of affairs is in the hands of enterprising and wide-awake business men, and the ratification promises to be a great success. An enthusiastic meeting of citizens was held in the City Hall last Friday night to arrange for a celebration in honor of the completion of the electric light plant in this city. The proposition received with hearty support from every one, and the indications are that we will have a ratification that will be one long to be remembered. Mr. M. L. Rogers was called to the chair, and spoke briefly in commendation of the ratification. Public spirit manifested in the way in which it is intended that this enterprise is to be heralded into our midst would be received by the outside world as evidence of our progressiveness, and we would consequently reap our just reward in many ways. An executive committee consisting of Messrs. M. Nebelung, W. T. Brown, John Hartung, N. F. Steadman, Herman Stern, W. J. Fay and E. P. Fowler was appointed to take the matter in hand, and as these gentlemen are hustlers the celebration will no doubt be brought to a successful termination. Richard Melrose will deliver the address. The committee has appointed several auxiliary committees and each have set about to make the ratification something of which we may all feel proud. Engineer Sharpe stated that the electric plant could be put in readiness and be ready for starting to-night. It is intended to have a parade upon the principal streets at 7 o'clock in the evening and march to the Opera-house where the festivities will be held. Mr. W. J. Fay will preside at the meeting. Company G will parade during the evening, and assist in the festivities. A couple of arc lights will be placed in the Opera-house for the occasion. It is the intention to have the hall illuminated by candle lighting at the outset, which as the festivities progress is to be superceded by the brilliant electric lights, which will make a very pretty effect. The machinery was tested yesterday afternoon and evening and the lights in several of the business houses were turned on. The lights attracted quite a crowd in town, and were a novel sight. The Chamber of Commerce of Santa Ana had notified the committee of their acceptance. WATER COMPANY THE FINANCES IN GOOD CONDITION THE HARTUNG NOTE RECEIVED AT 7 PER CENT—TRANSACTION BUSINESS. The Board of Directors of the Union Water Company met in regulation on Saturday afternoon; present Amerige, Crowther, Spencer and No Director Crowther reported that Director McFadden had visited the ditch and examined the fills at shoe Bend, and found everything condition. They recommended the opening of the ditch in places at thaw and thereby a better grade and velocity could be secured. The report accepted. The Finance Committee examining Secretary and Treasurer reports and them correct. Bill to the amount of $3870 were paid and ordered paid. A slight discrepancy of 94 cents was in the report of the Superintendent caused by wrongful addition, and there was order rectified by the Secretary. The Finance Committee reported secured the $25,000 from the Bank foronia. The money was ordered used in calling all 10 per cent notes, reserving $5,00 contingent expenses. All the notes outstanding have changed to 8 per cents, and one has been reduced to 7 per cent. It is very probable that a number of note holders will opt to take bonds. A telegram was received from Fred tung in Los Angeles announcing that would lot his $10,000 note remain with company, bearing 7 per cent. The Law Committee reported that suit with the Jurupa company would up in the Orange county Superior shortly, and that Judge Clark of Los geles would try the case. The Secretary reported as follows for month of March: RECEIPTS. Cash on hand last report. Water sales, Anaheim. Bills payable, notes. Total. CREDITS. Paid Treasurer. Cash on hand. Total. Treasurer Goldwater reported as for March: SOLD AND EXCHANGED. Two bonds, Nos. 132 to 133 inclusive,$500 each. RECEIVED AND EXCHANGED. Note, No. 200. Total. that decoration was dispensed with. It was decided that the hall be decorated with buntings and garlands of flowers and evergreens, which will be interspersed with Japanese lanterns. Mr. Fay extended thanks to the council for their favors, which were received gracefully, and the committee retired. The Committee on Public Improvements reported the filling in of chuckholes on the principal streets. Tim Boege and others presented the following petition: To the Honorable Board of City Trustees of the city of Anaheim: We, the undersigned taxpayers and property owners, respectfully petition your honorable body in answer to a petition of F. Mickel and others, presented to you March 26, 1895, to take no action that will interfere with the irrigation of our land. We therefore claim that said ditch is the most practical route and of no hindrance to traffic or travel on said street. We further claim that said ditch is in no respect a nuisance and is necessary for the irrigation of our lands and that said ditch could not be removed to the other side of Center street and irrigate our lands. We therefore respectfully ask your honorable body to take no action on the petition of Mr. Mickel and others. Filed. As the period intervening between the time the Assessor should turn his books over to the board, and the time prescribed by law when the books must be equalized by them, was too short, it was deemed advisable to extend the time for a greater period between the two dates. The matter will be attended to in the near future by the Ordinance Committee. The Special Telephone Committee was extended. The Marshal has had considerable trouble in collecting water rates of late, and he was empowered to take steps to shut the water off in every case where the consumers refuse to pay their rate upon the first application. It was moved that the water rate for the Del Campo stand as it is at present. It was moved that the city attorney be instructed to draft an ordinance granting the Sunset Telephone Company a franchise to place their lines and poles in this city. Sixteen electric meters have been ordered by the Finance Committee. Also a number of rubber-sovered wires, for inside use in adjusting the electric wires in buildings. The Santa Fe Company has granted the city the privilege to connect the water main to their line at the depot to furnish water to the packing houses. A water meter was ordered placed at the residence of Theo. Rimpau. Bills to the amount of $474 25 were audited. The Clerk was instructed to notify the lamp lighter that his services would be no longer required, on account of the advent of the electric lights. A communication was received from the Western Union Telegraph Company, relative to the close proximities of their wires to those of the electric plant. They claim that they are entitled to protection of the city authorities for their business and property, and ask that the electric wires be removed to a safe distance, or if it be more convenient, to remove the telegraph wires, and the company be reimbursed for the moving. As the two sets of wires are in too close proximity a serious accident may happen at any time. The telegraph wires have not been placed in position according to Section 2 of Ordinance 76, and the Clerk was instructed to notify the company to that effect. It was moved that the engineer in charge of the water works keep separate accounts of the expenses of the two departments. W. Paramore wrote asking for a reduction in the water rate to one-half of its present rate. Granted. Communication of Simon Smith in regard to the taking up of the water pipe at his residence on Los Angeles street. Moved that the Clerk be instructed to notify Mr. Smith that the water was cut off because the tenants refused to pay for the same, claiming that they had a pump and did not use city water. It was ordered that the pipe line be relaed to the premises and the water turned on again. Mr. W. J. Fay will preside at the meeting. Company G will parade during the evening, and assist in the festivities. A couple of arie lights will be placed in the Opera-house for the occasion. It is the intention to have the hall illuminated by candle lighting at the outset, which as the festivities progress is to be superceded by the brilliant electric lights, which will make a very pretty effect. The machinery was tested yesterday afternoon and evening and the lights in several of the business houses were turned on. The lights attracted quite a crowd in town, and were a novel sight. The Chamber of Commerce of Santa Ana have notified the committee of their acceptance of the invitation to attend the celebration, and it is very probable that a special will be run over from the county seat in the evening. The hall has been beautifully decorated by the ladies and presents a very pretty effect. It is expected that a large crowd will be over from Fullerton and help swell the throng. A feature of the evening will be "pressing of the button," when all is in readiness, and the lights all over the city will be started simultaneously. The Anaheim band will be reorganized and that popular musical organization will enliven the occasion with music. A cordial invitation has been extended the Fullerton and Orange bands to attend the celebration. It has been suggested that the bicycle riders decorate their wheels with Japanese lanterns and participate in the parade. The Orange band has been secured to participate in the parade, and enliven the occasion with martial music. The school children will form an interesting feature of the parade, each carrying lighted candles. On entering the room they will form a large circle around the hall, holding the lighted candles, and upon the signal being given the lights will be extinguished and the electric lights will then be turned on. The executive committee met Monday evening and arranged an interesting program. Invitations have been sent to The Chamber of Commerce of Santa Ana and the Board of Trustees of Orange, press and prominent citizens of Orange county to attend the celebration. Company G will give a social hop in the hall at the conclusion of the festivities. All members are earnestly requested to report for duty at the armory at 8 o'clock sharp. Marshal Steadman will act as Marshal of The Day, and has been indefatigable in his labors to make the procession a success. Company F of Santa Ana will parade this evening. Mr. C. Lorenz the oldest original settler of the band of sturdy pioneers who colonized this city, has been selected by the committee to "press the button" at the festivities. The plant has been ingeniously arranged whereby the lights in entire city can be operated simultaneously, and this feature will be a unique and interesting one. Mr. Lorenz settled here in the early fifties and has been a constant resident of this city ever since. The selection of Mr. Lorenz to turn on flood of light will give much satisfaction to his many friends. The following program will be rendered at The Opera-house: Music...

The procession will form in front of The City Hall at 7:30 p.m., in following order: Orange Brass Band The telegraph wires have not been placed in position according to Section 2 of Ordinance 76, and the Clerk was instructed to notify the company to that effect. It was moved that the engineer in charge of the water works keep separate accounts of the expenses of the two departments. W. Paramore wrote asking for a reduction in the water rate to one-half of its present rate. Granted. Communication of Simon Smith in regard to the taking up of the water pipe at his residence on Los Angeles street. Moved that the Clerk be instructed to notify Mr. Smith that the water was cut off because the tenants refused to pay for the same, claiming that they had a pump and did not use city water. It was ordered that the pipe line be relaid to the premises and the water turned on again. The matter of the employment of the two engineers at the water works caused a lengthy debate. Engineer Sharpe will have charge of the electrical department, and Engineer Schneider, who has been in the employ of the city in his present capacity for many years, will be retained to run the pumping machinery. The question arose who shall be 'boss.' No doubt either one or the other will have to be selected as the head engineer, and be responsible for the running of the plant. Mr. Sharpe's position, as electrical engineer, is a very important one, and the city has the utmost confidence in his abilities to conduct the plant in that capacity. Mr. Schneider is a man to be trusted in his official capacity, and has given general satisfaction in the past. There is no question but what both gentlemen will be good men in the employ of the city. Both gentlemen are capable of conducting their respective stations in a creditable manner, and there is no reason to doubt but what the interests of the city will be best subserved by harmonious dealings between the two engineers. Let the power of superintendency of the water works be delegated to Mr. Sharpe, who will be held responsible for running the plant, and allow Mr. Schneider to work with him in the faithful performance of his duties. The desired result should be accomplished, and peace and harmony ought to reign supreme. CHURCH NOTICES. Presbyterian Church—Rev. T. Beaizley, pastor.

RECEPTION. Miss Katherine Fleming was tendered a reception at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A.W. Whitaker of Buena Park on Monday evening. The guests were entertained in a most cordial manner, and the gathering will be pleasantly remembered as being one of the social events of the season. It was with disappointment that the guests were deprived of the pleasure of hearing Miss Fleming sing, but owing to the contraction of a slight cold she wisely decided not to favor the assemblage on this occasion. Her engagement with the Fiesta managers begins next Tuesday evening, when her many admirers will be given an opportunity of hearing the popular contralto. During the evening ice cream, cake and strawberries were served and later the guests departed for their homes. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. A.W. Whitaker, Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Whitaker of Pasadena, Mr. and Mrs. W.J. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. F.J. Speidel, Mr. and Mrs.Bert Whitaker of San Bernardino, Mr. and Mrs.Geo.H.Amerige, Mr. and Mrs.C.O.Rust,Mrs.Holman, Mr. and Mrs.Ernest Browning,Mrs.J.W.Landell,Mr. and Mrs.Yerkas,Mr. and Mrs.J.I.Seeger,Mr. and Mrs.H.Witaker,and Mrs.Alderman.

The "tramp ordinance" adopted by many municipalities in Southern California does not seem to have been a success. Several towns have reported that it costs more to keep the tramps than the work they do is worth while at the same time it has not transformed the trump into a better citizen than he was before.

WATER COMPANY. THE FINANCES IN GOOD CONDITION— THE HARTUNG NOTE RENEWED AT 7 PER CENT—TRANSACTION OF ROUTINE BUSINESS. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company met in regular session on Saturday afternoon; present, Ryan, Norris, Crowther, Spencer and Nebelung. Director Crowther reported that he and Doctor McFadden had visited the head of the ditch in places at that point, thereby a better grade and greater utility could be secured. The report was adopted. The Finance Committee examined the statutory and Treasurer reports and found no correct. To the amount of $3870 were audited ordered paid. A slight discrepancy of 94 cents was found in the report of the Superintendent. It was used by wrongful addition, and the matter ordered rectified by the Secretary. The Finance Committee reported having added the $25,000 from the Bank of California money was ordered used in calling in 100 per cent notes, reserving $5,000 for urgent expenses. The notes outstanding have been added to 8 per cents, and one has been relied upon per cent. It is very probable that a number of note holders will consent to take bonds. The eleigram was received from Fred Harrington in Los Angeles announcing that he lot his $10,000 note remain with the company, bearing 7 per cent. The Law Committee reported that the Juricia company would come into the Orange county Superior Court, and that Judge Clark of Los Angeles would try the case.

Lawrence will speak at the Methodist church next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock and in the evening at 7:30. B. J. Perry has been appointed Census Marahal for this school district. He will commence his labors next Monday. The Odd Fellows' anniversary to be held at Santa Ana on the 26th inst. promises to eclipse anything had in that line for many years past. The following letters remain uncalled for at the Placentia postoffice: Mrs. James Merberhall, Peter Laner, H. F. Lilley, C. Carter and Albert Reeves. Some Riverside growers who have shipped independently of the Exchange have had oranges rejected, and are likely to have to put up for the freight or lose their shipment. Several fruit growers near Orange have recently put in fruit or pomelo trees. This fruit is in great demand in the Eastern market, having in some instances brought as high as $10 a box. The election at Santa Ana held on Monday resulted in favor of licensing saloons, under restrictions similar to those prevailing in Pomona. An ordinance providing for the uniform planting of ornamental and shade trees along street sidewalks was also carried. The deciduous fruit growers held a meeting at Kroeger's Hall last Saturday afternoon for the purpose of organizing a union. Another meeting will be held next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Commercial Hotel, when it is expected definite action will be taken to perfect the organization. Bert Clark and Miss Alberta Morris of Pomona were married in San Bernardino last Wednesday week by Judge Soule. Mr. Clark is one of the best young men of Ontario, and his bride is one of the society belles of that city. The couple spent their honeymoon with friends in Orangethorpe and returned home last Sunday. The "Birthday Fieta" which has been announced to have been held at the Del Gromage Friday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. in the Episcopal church. Light system. There will be a grand procession, an electrical display, an oration and literary exercises. The military companies of both Santa Ana and Anaheim, and the civic societies of the "mother colony," in their peculiar and brilliant regalia, will participate in the parade, and nothing will be spared to make the occasion one long to be remembered. The advent of electric lights in Anaheim is an important epoch in the history of that city, and is a step in the right line if its residents desire to keep space with other cities and towns in Southern California. A gigantic steal was unearthed at Santa Ana on Monday by which Santa Ana has been systematically robbed of large quantities of water from the city water works by means of a tap made by a private water company for its consumers. The expose was made in plowing up a street for street paving. Wonder if our water mains are O.K. The starting up of the Buena Park cremery will be hailed with delight by the many farmers in that prosperous neighborhood. With the factory at its full capacity, the farmers will have a good home market for their produce, as besides condensing milk, it is proposed to use the various vegetables grown hereabout for canning purposes. The enterprise is one to be encouraged and is success means the upbuilding of the entire surrounding country. Sam Kraemer's barn, containing fifty tons of hay, came very near being destroyed by fire last Sunday afternoon. His little boy was playing in the lower story of the barn and commenced lighting matches. The flames rapidly spread, and the issuing smoke being seen by the neighbors rushed in and extinguished the fire. Mr. Kraemer was asleep in his house at the time, and only through the prompt effort of the Back brothers, who live near by, the barn would have been consumed. During the depressed condition of the orange market, which, however, it is not expected will be one of long duration, one can hear of many causes assigned for the drug in the market. A complaint of course is made that the railroad companies' charges for freight are too high, greatly reducing the profits of the growers, and the "stand all the orchardists can bear" tactics of some of the middlemen, all go to cause the orange men uneasiness and alarm. But on the other hand take the orange-growers claiming to make from four hundred to a thousand dollars per acre and asking for a reduction in freight rates, the question naturally comes to them, why should they have a reduction when their land is so profitable and many other tillers of the soil content themselves with less. But again should the orange-growers claim to make their expenses only, and discourage the industry, their landed interests and beautiful orchards would be rated by the outside world away below par. It would be well for the growers to "saw wood" and wait for the raise in the price of oranges. PERSONAL MEMORIES: Sheriff Nichols was in town yesteryear.
