FINE CHRISTMAS PRESENT A $1.50 Assessment for the Water Company. How Peter Hansen came Near Getting a Gate Put in the Cement Ditch Running By His Place at Placentia—It Would Have Been Necessary to Raise the Walls of the Ditch a Foot for a Distance of 150 to 200 Feet—Had Peter Agreed to Put in the Back Fill, the Ditch Would Have Been Ordered Raised—Director Nebelung Held the Balance of Power, and In Doing Justice to Both Sides, Voted Against the Raising of the Ditch, and Peter Was Out his Gate. The shareholders of the Anaheim water company had a fine Christmas gift presented to them by their Board of Directors at their meeting on Saturday, in the levying of an assessment of $1 50 per share; and Peter Hansen came near getting a present himself from the board in the matter of the construction of a gate in the cement ditch running on his north line on Placentia avenue. When three members of the board had voted to put in the gate, and only the vote of two had been recorded against it—Director Nebelung being meantime undecided, in his desire to do justice to both sides, as to which way to vote—Mr. Crowther interposed the suggestion that Peter put in the back fill for the raising of the ditch a foot, which was necessary so that water could be raised to run into the gate, saying he would then vote for the gate; but Peter did not see why he should be required to pay for any part of the work, as he had had a gate at the point indicated before the cement ditch was put in. The other two Directors whose votes had not been recorded thereupon voted against putting in the gate; and so when Peter was in the very act of getting what he has repeatedly asked for during the year, it was snatched from his grasp, and he will have to content himself with irrigating by the two other gates at his disposal. All the members of the board were present, and Mr. Botsford was in the chair. Mr. Spencer reported that he had interviewed Agent Darling of the Southern Pacific relative to the repair of the cement ditch into which an engine had precipitated itself some days ago, knocking out the side of the ditch. Mr. Darling reported that his company would repair the break, or that nally, and thought it was nothing more than right that the company should replace it. Mr. Nebelung thereupon voted no, and there being a tie, Chairman Botsford also voted no, and the matter was lost. Mr. Amerige moved that an assessment of $1 50 per share be levied upon the capital stock of the company. On Friday Mr. Amerige transferred five shares of his holding of ten shares to Mr. Ruddock. Mr. Crowther held that no assessment should be levied until the new board came into power next month, and moved to amend by borrowing money to meet present demands. The vote upon the assessment prevailed, and it was ordered accordingly. The President and Secretary were authorized to borrow $4500 from the Citizens' Bank for forty days, to meet quarterly interest falling due. Mr. Nenno appeared before the board and said that the Secretary had sent him a bill for work done by the company upon the ditch at his place, and he held that he had no right to pay it, and would not. He also said he had a claim against the company, and desired to know why he couldn't get his money. He had been employed in hauling gravel for the cement ditch, which had subsequently washed out on account of improper backfilling, and when the ditch had been repaired, a bill for the work had been sent him. He said that the reason for the ditch washing out was on account of bad work at the time of its construction. He had noted the defective construction at the time, but as he felt it was none of his affair, he had said nothing about it. Mr. Nenno failed to state, however, how it came that he, being a shareholder in the company, and as such being as greatly interested in the work as anyone, had witnessed the faulty construction referred to, and had remained silent. The board were evidently opposed to paying his claim until Mr. Nenno settled with the company for the amount held to be due by him. Mr. Amerige moved that Mr. Nenno's claim against the company be paid, the company then to demand payment from him of the amount owing by him. Mr. Browning observed that Mr. Nenno had stated he would not pay the claim, and opposed settling until the gentleman manifested a disposition to pay the company what he owes it. Mr. Amerige replied that the claim which Mr. Nenno refused to pay might be of such character that he had reason to object to its payment. On looking up the minutes, it was learned that the work in question was ordered on motion of Mr. Nebelung, seconded by Amerige. The board adjourned without action. THE CITY COUNCIL. SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT SYSTEM COME UP FOR DISCUSSION. The board of City Trustees at their meeting on Tuesday evening listened to quite an extended dissertation upon water-tube and tubular boilers, eccentric crank engines and Kleinigkeiten. —Merry Christmas to you all! —Schools will be cut this afternoon for the holiday vacation. —On dit that a wedding in high life is to occur shortly. —The weather yesterday was cloudy, and the weather prophets predicted rain. —Sam Kraemer advertises wheat, barley and alfalfa hay for sale at his Placentia ranch. —Letters of administration in the estate of T.

They have plenty of artesian water, no cochle-burrs and their rates are very reasonable. —a delegation of seven or eight tramp tourists came to town on Tuesday evening, and made themselves obnoxious by firing revolvers around the S. P. depot. —the Santa Ana daily Blade will suspend two issues on account of Christmas, and the Santa Ana people are thinking of getting together and extending Horace Greeley McPhee a vote of thanks! Sure! —Fritz Ruhmann has repainted and repapered his residence, and will refurnish it throughout. Fritz used to sail the seas, and one time saw the Flying Dutchman, and he thinks it is not good to live alone. Ah, there, Fritz! —Justice Freeman of Santa Ana had a Sunday wedding last Sabbath, the participants being an eloping couple from San ed therespon voted against putting in the gate; and so when Peter was in the very act of getting what he has repeatedly asked for during the year, it was snatched from his grasp, and he will have to content himself with irrigating by the two other gates at his disposal. All the members of the board were present, and Mr. Botaford was in the chair. Mr. Spencer reported that he had interviewed Agent Darling of the Southern Pacific relative to the repair of the cement ditch into which an engine had precipitated itself some days ago, knocking out the side of the ditch. Mr. Darling reported that his company would repair the break, or that the water company could do it at the railroad's expense, and asked that the ditch running under the track be also cemented. After discussion the cementing of the ditch under the track was authorized, as well as the repairing of the damage done, the bill for the latter work to be sent the railroad company. Mr. Amerige brought up the matter of the overflow of the Chapman property at Placentia by water backing up in the cement ditch, the ditch being higher than the road. He had seen Supervisor Potter, who suggested that something be done to take the water off the road. Mr. Potter had stated to him that if the company failed to do the work, the county would be compelled to do it for them. Mr. Amerige moved that a pipe be put in under the ditch to carry off the water. Asked where the water would be taken to, he replied that it would be taken off to be distributed over a larger area of territory and thus do away with it, instead of permitting it to stand in the road as it is. On motion of Mr. Browning the matter was laid upon the table. A communication was received from James East calling attention to the washing out of his land on the east half of his south line, on the line of the cement ditch east of Placentia avenue. To the Superintendent. J. B. Neff and J. B. Rea were given permission to purchase water at stockholders' rates, in excess of their stock limit, during December and January; Spencer, Nebelung, Crowther and Key voting aye, and Browning and Amerige voting no. Application of Pierre Nicolas to purchase 400 acres of hill land known as the Cota tract, above Yorba, for $1600. Mr. Crowther moved that the proposition be accepted, seconded by Mr. Spencer. After discussion the board decided to lease the land to Nicolas at $150 per year, pending negotiations for the sale. Supt. Sheppard called the board's attention to the necessity for repairs on the line of the North Branch ditch, on property of E.K. Benchley, where water from the waste gate had washed a hole in the ground. He recommended the putting in of a thirty-inch pipe, 100 feet long, or that cement work be put in to stop the washing out. To the Ditch Committee. Mr. Key brought up the matter of the gate in the cement ditch which Peter Hansen had asked for. Mr. Hansen had asked for this gate on several occasions, and Mr. Key thought that insamuch as there had been a gate at this point previous to the construction of the cement ditch, and Mr. Hansen could not irrigate without great loss of time and labor without the gate, he moved that the Superintendent be instructed to put the gate in. Mr. Crowther opposed the construction of the gate. He said that Mr. Hansen had already a sufficient number of gates to irrigate his land properly—more than be (Crowther) or Mr. Key had on their properties. The vote resulted in giving instructions to the Superintendent to put in the gate, Key, Amerige, Spencer and Nebelung voting aye, and Crowther and Browning no. Supt. Sheppard asked whether his instructions to put in the gate also carried with it orders to raise the cement ditch a foot or so in order to permit the water to run into the gate. The ditch at this point is a foot bead upon vested against putting in the gate; and so when Peter was in the very act of getting what he has repeatedly asked for during the year, it was snatched from his grasp, and he will have to content himself with irrigating by the two other gates at his disposal. All the members of the board were present, and Mr. Botaford was in the chair.

He said that Mr. Hansen had already a sufficient number of gates to irrigate his land properly—more than he (Crowther) or Mr. Key had on their properties. The vote resulted in giving instructions to the Superintendent to put in the gate, Key, Amerige, Spencer and Nebelung voting aye, and Crowther and Browning no. Supt. Sheppard asked whether his instructions to put in the gate also carried with it orders to raise the cement ditch a foot or so in order to permit the water to run into the gate. The ditch at this point is a foot below the surface of the land, and the Superintendent asked for further instructions. It would be necessary to raise the sides of the ditch a foot for a distance of 150 to 200 feet in order to back water into the gate. Mr. Crowther held that the instructions were only to put in the gate. Mr. Key contended that the instructions were to put in the gate so that water could run into it. Mr. Key withdrew his motion, and moved that the gate be put in and the sides of the ditch raised so that water would run in the gate. Mr. Hansen was present and addressed the board upon the injustice done him by withholding the gate from him. He held that he ought to have it, he had had one there in the old earthen ditch, and could not irrigate as he wished without it. Mr. Hansen's talk was energetic and convincing. Mr. Crowther stoutly opposed the raising of the sides of the ditch, and maintained again that Mr. Hansen could irrigate his land with the gates now supplied as well as any stockholder in the company. The roll was called, and Mr. Nebelung, acting temporarily for Secretary Blenner-hassett, who had just been called out, called the names of Crowther and Browning, who voted no; then the names of Key, Spencer and Amerige were called, and they responded aye. It remained for Mr. Nebelung to decide the question. If he voted aye, the ditch would be raised; if he voted no, it would result in a tie, and the chair would vote against it. All eyes were turned upon the Director who held the matter in the palm of his hand. He stated that he did not know which way to vote. He desired to do justice to both sides, and he scratched his head in deep thought and meditation. Mr. Crowther sought to come to the rescue. He suggested that if Peter would put in the backfill, he would vote to put in the gate and raise the ditch. Mr. Nebelung suggested that Peter pay half of the expense of raising the ditch and putting in the gate. Mr. Hansen replied that he did not see why he should be put to any expense in the pre-printing the new series of bonds. Referred to the Clerk to interview Los Angeles parties further, and to report to the Finance Committee, with power to act. Communication from the Consolidated Pipe Co. of Los Angeles relative to the 2 inch Nash meter purchased by the city and returned to them, the price being beyond the price understood to be ruling for that class of meter. The price is $62.40, and after the meter had been returned to the Consolidated Pipe Company the Clerk wrote them proposing a trade for meters of smaller capacity. The pipe company replied they were not dealing in meters, and should insist that the machine be accepted by the city according to the terms of the original order. The board decided to notify the Consolidated Pipe Company to reship the meter to this city, and a warrant in the amount of $62.40 was ordered drawn in payment of the same. The meter will be installed at the Sanitarium. Trustee Groat reported on putting down the croswalks, their cost being $36, and two days' hauling of the city team ($8), making a total of $42. This is at the rate of 14 cents per square foot. A warrant was ordered drawn in payment of the amount. The Clerk read the specifications for the electric light plant, and the Mayor and Trustee Lewis reviewed them critically. Mr. Gardiner's criticisms were noted carefully, as well as due deference given the opinion of Engineer Sharpe. After an hour's discussion the specifications were referred back for correction, and the amended specifications will come up for final action on Monday evening next. Trustee Lewis said that the specifications for the new water works were incomplete, and he moved that a 3000 gallon storage tank for oil be added thereto. Carried, and Clerk instructed to notify Engineer Rogers to that effect. Also to include tunnel connecting the cement caissons for the wells. The specifications to come up for action at next Monday evening's meeting. Bills to the amount of $171.95 were audited and ordered paid. Communication of Fred Hartung relative to the bonds. His attorney having informed him that the proceedings were regular, he awaited notification as to the time for turning over the collateral. Filed. Mrs. Warner made application through Marshal Steadman for one of the old coal oil street lamps. Ordered that one be sold her at $350. W.J.Smith made application for city water to be furnished to the Fithian place on Adele street. Ordered done on payment of necessary costs. Engineer des Granges reported that the Sisters of St.Catherine's desired 35 electric lights, and that the Catholic congregation were considering the erection of a palatial new church, and had spoken for lights. Filed. Adjourned. Silk initial handkerchiefs at the Red front, Santa Ana.

To all our friends we wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! -Herman Stern has taken down the White House window display and has replaced it with a realistic winter scene, showing falling snow and a representation of the Sandwash bridge that reflects credit upon his abilities in line of window decoration. There is also a house deep in the snow, from the window of which a faint light gleams out upon the snowy foreground. The display is a work of art, and reflects credit upon our energetic young townsman. -On Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock the thermometer in front of Derge's drugstore, which hung in the sun, marked an even 100 degrees. For a time day was unusually warm for this time of year, and for an hour proceeding sunset light summer clothes seemed to be in order. At 6the thermometer had fallen to 74, and at 7it marked 63. At this season we have the greatest variation of the thermometer in the year. -Charley Sui, the Chinaman held for rape, has been indicted by the Grand Jury. The case against him had not been pressed, and he made application for a writ of habeas corpus, which was granted. He was about to be set at liberty when the Grand Jury indictment intervened, and he was remanded into custody of the Sheriff, to be produced in court for arraignment on Saturday next. -When Prof. Frantz returned to his shop on Thursday morning he found the key in rear door broken off, having been evidently twisted off by some one who grappled the key with nippers from without. Frantz had the key fixed so as to prevent its turning, and so an entrance could not be effected. He is of opinion that some one with burglarious intent might have intended paying him a visit. -On Wednesday evening last The Order of Chosen Friends elected the following officers to serve for the ensuing term: L.C.Bailey, councillor; A.L.Lewis, vice councillor; Mrs.E.T.Wallop, secretary; Theo.Rimpan,treasurer; Mrs.M.J.Bailey,prelate; Mrs.I.J.Groat,marshal; Miss Clara Mosseman,warden; Miss Sarah Wright guard; H.C.Gade,sentry.

Jennings, treasurer. Marshal Steadman disturbed the quiet slumbers of a hombre who was quietly snoozing in the gutter near Pressel's blacksmith shop yesterday morning, and put him in jail. The man was too drunk to know his name, but on being locked in his cell requested the Marbala to fetch him up a jug of wine. He was informed that the wine would be forthcoming in about twenty minutes, but up to the time of going to press the wine had net arrived, and the man was asleep. The foothills are being decked out in their yearly carpet of green. On Sunday the grass-covered hills to the east made an object of consplouluous beauty against a background of dust that hid the mountains beyond from view. A Santa Ana wind blew a gale at Riverside and realistic intimations of the storm came in the desultory puffs that straggled hitherward through the cool ocean breezes that rendered existence delightful. The Riverside blow was one of the severest of the year. Sheriff Nichols informs us that Charley Funk is preparing an energetic defense to the charges of burglary and grand larceny placed against him. Funk's consort Eva has employed Lawyer Appel of Los Angeles to defend him. When Funk was bound over to appear before the Superior Court, Eva suggested that he make an attempt to get bail. "Baill!" replied Funk, laughingly, "I couldn't get bail in a thousand years." The lady seemed very much distressed, but Funk took matters coolly. Nichols thinks there will be little difficulty in convincing Mr. Funk. The Turners of this city will give a grand concert and ball on New Year's Eve, Dec. 31, at Reiser's Opera-house. The arrangement of the music program has been put into the hands of Prof. Reiser and an interesting program has been arranged, several of the local musicians taking part, as well as the Anahiem Liederkranz.

Chase of Norwalk was passing through this city Friday afternoon on his way to Santa Ana, and when on South Los Angeles street a man on a wheel ran into his horse, which became frightened and ran away. The cart ran against a fence and threw Mr. Chase out, and his foot getting caught, he was dragged 200 yards before he succeeded in freeing himself. He was not seriously injured. The cart was demolished, and the horse took advantage of his liberty to make tracks for parts unknown. Detective C. L.

To all our friendserry Christmas and a Happy Stern has taken down the window display and has rea realistic winter scene, snow and a representation bridge that reflects credit cities in the line of window there is also a house deep in the window of which a faint thinks there will be little difficulty in convincing Mr. Funk. The Turners of this city will give a grand concert and ball on New Year's Eve, Dec. 31, at Reiser's Opera-house. The arrangement of the music program has been put into the hands of Prof. Reiser and an interesting program has been arranged, several of the local musicians taking part, as well as the Anaheim Liederkranz. The music for the ball will be provided by the Anaheim orchestra. The Committee of Arrangements having arranged everything in first-class order, a large turnout of our citizens is expected to enjoy a pleasant evening with the muse Harmonia and Terpsichore. Admission to concert and ball will be 50 cents for non-members and 25 cents for members, children 15 cents. We hate to say it, but it is nevertheless a fact that one of two eight-gallon kegs of Conrad's beer taken along with the sugar factory excursion last week was brought home untonched. This does not argue that the excursionists had their thirsts already satisfied with the first keg they gave their attention to, nor yet that the second keg not good, but it was simply in the crowding of so much bilarity into the brief moments at hand, that the second keg passed critical inspection, and was regarded as having been omitted by the thirsty throng who came to the first keg only to find the larger gone, and who looked at the other and marveled at the capacity of those who had been there before. It is in order to tender Brewer Conrad a series of resolutions apology. But if the crowd had only known that second keg was loaded! Butcher Fleishmann has his usual Christmas display of meats at his shop on Center street, and this evening the exhibition will be at its beat. Over the meat blocks he has erected a roof, in imitation of an Alpine tavern, the top plentifully covered with a realistic imitation of snow. Toward the rear an old-fashioned brick chickney peeps from the roof. Under the electric lights the display is pleasing and appropriate to the season. The usual display of boars' beads and sausage meats is also this year up to the high standard of this market, and to cap the climax Fleishmann yesterday hung up in the shop a mammoth dressed pig weighing in the neighborhood of 600 pounds. The display is strikingly realistic and beautiful. The County Jail which was to have been completed according to the terms of the contract on October 1st, is still in an unfinished state, and the time of its completion verily no man knoweth. While there is but little yet remaining to be done and the county is amply secured, not only by bond, but by the reserve fund of 25 per cent of the price as well, it is annoying to have the construction drag along and finally stop in this manner. No fault has been found with the quality of the work on the building, but the contractors seem to have been short of the necessary funds or lacking the ability to properly prosecute the work to completion. The contract price was too low for the contractors to keep even, and being without means to buy to the best advantage and to pay their help promptly the contractors have been at disadvantage and have indefinitely prolonged the construction. It is to be hoped the contractors or their bondmen will take hold of their work and push it to a final completion. Horticultural Commissioner Huntington has a force of men engaged in pulling up the dying orange trees on the old Haight place, 500 number, at the corner of North and East streets. These trees were ten years ago among the cleanest in the county, and the fruit was clean and bright and brought the highest prices.

Horticultural Commissioner Huntington has a force of men engaged in pulling up the dying orange trees on the old Haight place, 500 in number, at the corner of North and East streets. These trees were ten years ago among the cleanest in the county, and the fruit was clean and bright and brought the highest prices. But absent ownership has told the story, and the place having changed hands many times in recent years, and the owners being for the most part non-residents, the trees have become scale-infested, and have lost their vigor, and having become a source of scale-breeding and a menace to growers at large, Mr. Huntington has adopted extreme means to rid the neighborhood of the evil, and is pulling up the trees by the roots, the law empowering him so to do. The trees in the Rich lot on Broadway, east of Palm, being also similar condition and being a monaco to adjacent groves, will be similarly treated—the trees will be pulled up by the roots. The following officers of Anaheim Lodge, No. 207, F. & A.M., were installed on Monday evening by Inspector Charles E. Mitobell of Long Beach; H.W. Chynoweth, W.M.; Sidney Holman, S.W.; H.A.
