MORE LIGHT AND WATER The City Trustees Adopt Specifications. Bids for the Increase of the Municipal Water and Electric Light Works to be Opened on Jan. 19th—How the Specifications for the New Electric Light Plant came in for Much Discussion and Many Alterations, and How They Were Adopted on Monday Evening and the Action Rescinded on Tuesday Evening—When Completed, the Water and Light Works Will be Vastly Enlarged and Improved. The City Trustees met in special session on Tuesday evening and reconsidered their action taken the evening before in adopting Engineer Sharpe's specifications for the enlargement of the municipal electric light plant. The specifications had been the object of considerable criticism on Monday evening and several important amendments to the original draft were adopted by the board. When it came finally to the adoption of the specifications in their amended form, it being then about midnight, the board voted to adopt them, Trustees Conrad, Groat and Helmsen voting aye, and Trustee Lewis no. Mayor Rust declared the vote carried, and although there seemed to be a feeling that all was not right, the meeting adjourned. Subsequently the specifications were discussed further by Trustees Lewis and Rust, and there arising considerable objection to the specifications, the Mayor resolved to call a special meeting for Tuesday evening for the purpose of rescinding the action in adopting the specifications on Monday evening. The original purpose of the board in calling an election to issue bonds for the extension of the municipal electric lighting system was for the purpose of adding 1000 lights to the present capacity of the power house, which is registered at 500 lights. The purpose was to have 1500 lights at hand; but this, on investigation of Engineer Sharpe's specifications, was found to be more apparent than real, for, according to his plans, while the 1000 lighter was running the 500 light machine would remain idle. It would be necessary, further, in order to put the 500 lighter in operation at the same time with the larger plant, to go to an additional expenditure of $2000, as estimated by Engineer Sharpe, for the wiring of a separate circuit to admit of the operation of the machine. (On Tuesday Engineer Des Granges said he would take a REFUSED A CERTIFICATE. MISS EDITH NORTON OF THE CITY SCHOOLS DENIED A TEACHER'S CERTIFICATE BY THE COUNTY BOARD. The County Board of Education, in session at Santa Ana on Saturday last, refused to issue a teacher's certificate to Miss Edith Norton, who has been since the beginning of the current school term teaching one of the intermediate departments of the city schools, under Prof. Keran. The refusal was based upon the recommendation of County School Superintendent Greeley, who visited the school on two occasions, and made a report adverse to the claims of the lady. Miss Norton is an estimable young lady, who is held in the highest esteem by her friends here, but she has been unfortunate in her experience in the school. Some weeks ago a petition was circulated asking the City School Trustees to make a change in her department, but a counter petition was circulated by the lady's friends, and owing to the influence of M. L. Rogers, uncle of the lady, no change was made. The two other School Trustees, Mr. Heald and Mr. Nebelung, were understood at first as being in favor of a change, but when Miss Norton's case was before them for action, the board decided to make no change, holding that, even with a charge of incompetency made against the teacher, the more charitable act would be to permit her to teach the term out; and so the matter rested until taken up by the County Board of Education. On Saturday the County Board had the case under investigation, and on recommendation of the County School Superintendent, an adverse report was made in the case, and thereupon the board refused to issue the necessary teacher's certificate, without which no one may teach. School Trustee Nebelung stated on Tuesday evening that the City Board of Education had received the notification from the county board, and were making arrangements for the employment of another teacher. He stated that school would probably begin on Monday. It was rumored yesterday afternoon that Mr. Rogers would go before the County Board of Education to-day and ask to have that body consider its action in refusing Miss Norton a certificate.

The purpose was to have 1500 lights at hand; but this, on investigation of Engineer Sharpe's specifications, was found to be more apparent than real, for, according to his plans, while the 1000 lighter was running the 500 light machine would remain idle. It would be necessary, further, in order to put the 500 lighter in operation at the same time with the larger plant, to go to an additional expenditure of $2000, as estimated by Engineer Sharpe, for the wiring of a separate circuit to admit of the operation of the machine. (On Tuesday Engineer Des Granges said he would take a contract to do this extra wiring for $300) Mr. Sharpe suggested that the smaller machine might be put upon the arc circuit, there being fourteen areas upon the streets, and while the arcs would only create a "load" of some 230 lights, and there would be power for 270 lights additional. Mr. Sharpe suggested that that many incandescent lights might be attached to the machine. But as these lights would necessarily be extinguished along with the arcs, when the latter were put out on moonlight nights, the plan was considered impracticable, and it was rejected. The Trustees at their meeting on Monday evening considered in detail the specifications not only for the new electric lights but for the extension of the water works to be installed by the municipality as well. The specifications for the enlargement of the lighting system, prepared by Engineer Sharpe, were first taken up, and were finally adopted after numerous alterations and no little criticism on the part of Trustee Lewis, who voted against their adoption. Mr. Lewis made a very timely objection to the installation of the new 1000 lighter, in view of the fact that it could not be operated in conjunction with the present 500 light machine, except at an additional cost, according to Mr. Sharpe's estimate, of $2,000 for extra wiring. It had been thought originally that when the new 1000-lighter was installed the capacity of the works would be 1,500 lights, but this it appears was hardly to be the case. The new lighter will have to be operated by itself, so far as the present system of wiring goes, and if no extra wires are put in, the present 500 lighter will be suffered to remain in idleness. Mr. Sharpe suggested that the 500 lighter might be retained as an auxiliary machine, to be useful in case the larger machine broke down, but the board objected to this, as requiring too much money for the purpose, and because of the inefficiency of the 500 lighter to do the work of the 1000 lighter should the latter break down. This state of affairs was energetically objected to on the part of Trustees Lewis, Conrad and Rust, and the board, after a full discussion of the merits and demurals of the plan, and making a number of amendments, voted to adopt the plan; and the new 1000 lighter was ordered installed, as provided for in the plans. This action was on Tuesday evening rescinded. Among the changes in the specifications the board determined to change the new poles to be put in from cedar to black heart redwood, square poles, 6x16 inch butt, redwood being less susceptible to rot. Mr. Conrad argued in support of the plan to separate the specification for the boilers, claiming that a greater degree of efficacy would result by having the plans for the boilers drawn up by the boiler inspection company now inspecting the boilers at the city water works. The board decided to retain the proposed contract for the lights and boilers intact, but inserted a clause incorporating into the specifications a provision that the Hartford boiler insurance company furnish the specifications for the boilers, and the boilers will be built under those specifications. The transformer capacity of the new 1,000 lights, which had been placed at a capacity of 320 lights, was on Monday increased to 500 lights, and on Tuesday evening to 1,000 THREE MONTHS FREE.

Mr. Krick and Miss Beckett have been sick during the week, but both are now on the way to recovery. Will Duham has put but a large amount of strawberry plants. He will make a business of marketing strawberries. A very large amount of grain is being put in. Sowing is nearly through. The Farmers' Union met on Saturday night, and elected the same board of officers. Hugo Wetzol, President; P. Hansen, Vice President; C. W. Alms,Treasurer,and A. S.Bradford,Secretary. W.B. Hervey is putting down a new seven-inch well. The one he had was a two-inch pipe well. The plunger became detached and the pine could not be drawn up so a Mr. Conrad argued in support of the plan to separate the specification for the boilers, claiming that a greater degree of efficiency would result by having the plans for the boilers drawn up by the boiler inspection company now inspecting the boilers at the city water works. The board decided to retain the proposed contract for the lights and boilers intact, but inserted a clause incorporating into the specifications a provision that the Hartford boiler insurance company furnish the specifications for the boilers, and the boilers will be built under those specifications. The transformer capacity of the new 1,000 lights, which had been placed at a capacity of 320 lights, was on Monday increased to 500 lights, and on Tuesday evening to 1,000 lights. The specifications were thereupon adopted, Trustee Ruat, Helmsen, Conrad and Groat voting aye, and Trustee Lewis no. Engineer Rogers read the specifications for the new water works, the same covering eighteen pages of type-written manuscript. The specifications had already been carefully gone over by the Council, and after a further consideration of the same they were adopted by the board unanimously. At the meeting of the board on Tuesday evening, with Mayor Rust in the chair, and Trustees Helmsen, Lewis and Conrad present, the electric light specifications were again taken up, and the objection to the plan of having two separate dynamos and other apparatus while only one could be worked at a time, was urged against by Trustee Lewis and the Mayor. Trustee Helmsen argued in support of the advisability of having an auxiliary plant, observing that it would have come in handy during the breakdown at the works some weeks ago. The board discussed at length the propriety of changing the specifications in the matter of installing a 1,000 lighter and disposing of the present machine, but in view of the fact that Engineer Gardiner of Los Angeles, who was present with Mr. Howe of that city on Monday evening, held that a sufficient amount of money was at hand to put in a 1000 lighter and do the wiring to admit the running of both plants at once; and as Engineer Des Granges of the power house advised this course of action as being the best, the board decided to call for bids in conformity therewith. The bids will be opened, both for the increase of the water works and electric lights, on Tuesday evening, January 19th, at 8 o'clock. An eight-inch asphaltum pipe was ordered put in across Lemon street, on the south side of Chartres, to carry all the storm water that forms pools at the corner and overflows the neighborhood whenever it rains. The Superintendent of streets was instructed to level up a depression in Chartres street in the Chinese quarters, where water accumulates when it rains. Mr. Krick and Miss Beckett have been sick during the week, but both are now on the way to recovery. Will Dunham has put but a large acreage of strawberry plants. He will make a business of marketing strawberries. A very large acreage of grain is being put in. Sowing is nearly through. The Farmers' Union met on Saturday night, and elected the same board of officers. Hugo Wetzel, President; P. Hansen, Vice President; C. W. Alms, Treasurer, and A. S. Bradford, Secretary. W. B. Hervey is putting down a new seven-inch well. The one he had was a two-inch pipe well. The plunger became detached and the pipe could not be drawn up, so a new well bad to be bored. The Cantata came up on schedule time Christmas Eve. Everything went off smoothly and was a great success. Every body was highly entertained. The music by the Crowther orchestra was excellent as usual. After the play closed, Santa Class distributed presents, candy and apples to all the children. The house was crowded. A collision occurred on the avenue Christmas Eve. Miss Bates in a buggy, A. Baston's team and Henry Shaller's team came together in a heap. Shaller came out second best with one shaft broke and an axle sprung. No one was hurt and it was a wonder as each of the latter had their families with them. Cabbages are looking well, the acreage being about one hundred and fifty acres. There will be not less than one hundred cars if the weather continues as good as it has been. Mr. May spent Christmas in Los Angeles. Mr. Nenno and family are at Ventura for the holidays. School will commence on Monday next. Mrs. Young will leave this week for Pasadena for a few days. We have had another beautiful rain. Placentia, Cal., Dec. 27, 1896.

The 8:09 a.m. north bound train now goes north at 7:54 a.m., and the 11:08 train passes through at 10:53. The 4:27 afternoon train north bound has been changed to 4:25 p.m., the 3:25 and 6:02 p.m. south bound trains remaining unchanged. The 10:03 a.m. train for the sugar factory has been changed to 9:48 a.m. and the time of the arrival of the 8:07 a.m. train from the factory is changed to 7:52 a.m. In the Superior Court at Santa Ana last week, in case of the petition of the Public Administrator in the matter of the estate of John Cadman, to set aside certain tax titles to property west of town, the court ruled that owing to irregularity on the part of the tax collector in advertising the sale of the lands described, the tax deeds were invalid. One of the flaws was that no dollar and cent mark appeared in the figures designating the amount of the delinquent tax advertised in the Santa Ana paper publishing the delinquent tax list. It is the impression of those who know that not one tax title in a thousand will stand the scrutiny of an investigation. The Santa Ana Blade of Monday evening, after a long rest of three days during which no paper was issued by Editor McPhee, comes to hand with a column of travail over the report of the Grand Jury relative to the dehit of $199 31 in the municipal electric light works in this city; which we refer to editorially upon the second page. From the Blade's editorial we take the following: "It will be remembered that when the matter of voting bonds for the purpose of engaging in the electric light business was before the people of this city THE GAZETTE claimed that the Anaheim system was not only a thing of beauty and a joy forever, but was a money-maker from the word 'go.'" With all due respect to the Blade editor, who wears creases in his trousers and has airships in his head, we must say this is a pure invention. We never held that municipal ownership was for the purpose of deriving revenue—that insane notion seems confined to Santa Ana alone. The Blade is respectfully referred to the editorial page.

While they had lots of fun, they did not succeed in capturing as many jackas as they did in the La Habra hills a few days before. The bounds that could easily pick up one of the La Habra variety could not come any where near the peatland sprinters. After a chase was started the hounds would come up into dangerous proximity of the long-eared varmint, when all of a sudden the jack would unlimber itself and evaporate into nothingness. The peatland jacks had evidently been trained, and the boys will have to give them another whirl. —We have a good joke on our old friend J. E. Grogan of Madelia, Minn. Have you found it out yet, Grogan? We won't say a word about it; but our old friend sends us a statement about the operations of the Madelia butter and cheese company, of which he is the Secretary and Manager, which shows it to be quite a thriving institution. During the year the cremery received 7.,651,000 pounds of milk, and made 334,000 pounds of butter. The receipts were $57.,000, and there was paid to patrons for milk $45,000. The value of the works is $11,550, and there are 170 shares at $50 per share. Happy New Year, Mr. Grogan. —Butcher Fleischman followed his usual Christmas custom of remembering the poor, and the editor begs to acknowledge the receipt of a splendid pig which graced the table some few days ago. Fleischman dressed many a dozen of these little porkers for Los Angeles customers, as well as many another for patrons in this city, and the one under discussion in this item must have been the pick of the lot, for a more tempting morsel in the way of moats never existed.

Weisel at their palatial residence last Friday evening. In one of the parlors a large Christmas tree, under which appeared a number of presents, shone forth in splendor. In the adjoining parlor a small stage was erected which was used by the young ladies to present beautiful tableaux of The Loreley, Columbia, etc. A quartet in Tyrolean costumes sang that ever popular Tyrolean song, The Waterfall. Besides these numbers, the company was entertained with piano and vocal solos, and duets. Refreshments were City Engineer C.S.

George has a steady job at the re-finery the year round, and tells us every thing points to another busy campaign coming year.

Mrs. Hunter is in the enjoyment of excellent health, and is as sprightly as many ladies a score of years her junior. Mrs. Dr. Warner of Garden Grove was in the city last week on a short business visit. Mrs. Warner reports the health of her husband, Dr. Warner, who was stricken with apoplexy, as improving, and the hope is entrained that the genial Doctor may yet be restored to his strength and usefulness again. Theo Rimpau sought to go up to Los An-geles yesterday morning over the S.P.lue-but he wist not that the time of the morning train had been changed from 8:09 to 7:54 and he arrived just in time to see the train pull out and leave him.

The sale of the lots is more important to the railroad than the accommodation of the people.-Los Angeles Times. What's the matter with the Times? The Southern Pacific station here is in its precise location of twenty-two years ago, where it was placed when the road was first built into the city. The railroad company have no lots to sell that we know of,and had,the Times makes itself ridicule.

The sale of the lots is more important to the railroad than the accommodation of the people.—Los Angeles Times. What's the matter with the Times? The Southern Pacific station here is in its precise location of twenty-two years ago, where it was placed when the road was first built into the city. The railroad company have no lots to sell that we know of, and never had, and the Times makes itself ridiculous by publishing this sort of unfounded stuff—the more so, as we are not accustomed to running across such silly truck upon its editorial page. In the Times' correspondence column of the same issue (Sunday morning last) appeared the following: The Southern Pacific Company, aided and abetted by Col. Bob Northam, agent for the Stearns Rancho Company, has located the depot at Benedict, west of town, in the middle of an untenanted plain of salt grass and alkali. The object, of course, is to sell the lands around it, but the inconvenience to the resident public is deeply felt and freely commented on, and the question is being asked whether Southern California was made for the Southern Pacific, or the Southern Pacific built for it. To say that the site of the station at Benedict was selected with reference to the sale of lots by either the railroad company or Col. Northam is in this case, we apprehend, worse than nonsense. The railroad company has no land to sell in the neighborhood, and Judge Pierce, the resident agent of the Land Company, informs us that most of the land owned by the Land Company in the once broad expanse of territory owned by them west of town has been sold out. In 1889-90 the Land Company paid taxes on 128,000 acres of land in this county, and in 1891, they had sold all but 63,000 acres. To-day, Judge Pierce says, the Land Company does not own 300 acres of land within a radius of three miles of the Alamitos sugar factory. To say that the depot was placed at Benedict in order to sell this land, the Times will readily observe, is ridiculous. Now is the time to be careful of one's health and a good deal depends on warm, dry feet. A large line of shoes to select from at lowest prices at the Red Front, Santa Ana.

Senator-elect Jones and daughter, Miss Phebe, left on Tuesday for Sacramento, where Mr. Jones will take his seat as Senator from the Thirty-ninth Senatorial district. Mr. Jones has had relatively the same seat assigned to him that Mr. Chynoweth has in the lower house, it being directly in front of the presiding officer, in the second row from the front. We expect both the Orange county legislators will make a fine record in the Legislature, and that Mr. Jones' eloquence will electrify the Senate as occasion may require in favor of economy and in defense of the rights of the people. Prof. Crowther, leader of the Fullerton band, was in town Tuesday afternoon and gave out information that the indications were good for a big crowd at the fifth annual masquerade to be given by the band at Chadbourne's hall in Fullerton this evening. The band will play in concert selections preceding the dance, and Leonard's stringed orchestra of six pieces will play for the dance. The boys deserve and will doubtless have a big crowd to dance the old year out and the new year in with them. —A correspondent writing from Magnolia sends us the following interesting item about a mirage recently witnessed out his way: "It was the strangest phenomenon I have seen for a month of Sundays. Los Alamitos with its new factory and village hung suspended in the air other morning, and we counted the houses one by one. The factory site is not visible from Magnolia. It is more than 100 feet nearer the sea level and five good miles distant, but the mirage brought it to our very doors. Was it a freak of nature only, or did a kind Providence lift the big enterprise up in the air in order to show the instrument by which they will all be placed in affluent circumstances? Thousands of dollars will be swept from the mortgage roll of west Orange county the coming Fall, and the beet crop will do it all.
