As this is my last report to your honorable body, I take this opportunity to thank the members of the board for their uniform courtesy. I am especially grateful to those who voted to retain me in the position I have held so long, and cherish the hope that those who thought the interests of the city would be better conserved by a change may realize their full expectation, and that it may not be necessary in future appointments to call upon a man whose domicile is on wheels to make such sacrifice for the public, to break the deadlock. Respectfully submitted. J. B. PIERCE Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the examination of the reports of the different city officers, and the auditing of demands against the city, also the purchase of small articles for the power house. Trustee Schwenckert was appointed chairman of the Committee on Public Improvements. He called attention to the bad condition of the culvert at the irrigating ditch on Center street, near Henry Albrecht's residence, and after discussion, the Clerk was authorized to write the water company, requesting it to put the same in repair. A letter from L. Goldwater was read, giving information as to the oil situation in Los Angeles, stating that oil could be purchased at from 55 to 65 cents per barrel at the wells, with 8 cents drayage per barrel to railroad cars.

The Clerk was authorized to write Los Angeles oil dealers, getting lowest figures on oil, and to confer relative to the same with the Public Improvements Committee. Trustee Schwenckert reported that he had had an interview with Mrs. Hussman relative to moving back her houses on Los Angeles street to the sidewalk line, and she had agreed to move them back for $190. He advised that the agreement be accepted, and after discussion the Clerk was authorized to secure an agreement in writing from Mrs. Hussman, when the work of moving back the houses will probably begin. Trustee Schwenckert submitted a plan for a fire alarm system, with one alarm box at some central point in the city and one at the West End, which would ring the fire bell and the bell at the power house at the same time. The cost of the alarm system would be about $25. The Committee on Public Improvements was authorized to put in the system, a wire to connect Engineer Byers' residence to be included, for the purification of the cannery at Anaheim. Many of them are looking forward to better prices for fruit this season than ever before. If we only had railroad connection from Smeltzerville to Anaheim through Council Bluffs or Kansas City via St. Louis and Chicago to Atlantic cities. The Southern Pacific equipment cannot be excelled and the scene along its various routes is the most challenging.

Station Agent Breedon of Santa Ana has been notified by Superintendent Muir of this division of the Southern Pacific that he has been awarded the decision of having his depot in the best condition of any agent on the division. Pasadena and Covina are said to be next on the list. The awards are the result of a careful inspection made by Supt. Muir some months ago, in company with other superintendents of the road. The Show Window, a monthly publication in Chicago, devoted as its name indicates matters of window display, as well as other details of the material business, reprints it published by us relative to Hermann Stern's display of a battleship in the window of his establishment, some time ago.

The Committee on Public Improvements was authorized to put in the system, a wire to connect Engineer Byers' residence to be included, for the purpose of ringing him up after midnight, when he leaves the power house.

Crowther had deposited $10 for a water connection at his property on Los Angeles street. The Superintendent of Streets was instructed to make the connection.

Many of them are looking forward to better prices for fruit this season than ever before.

Saturday evening a committee consisting of F. W. Fleischman, Herman Stern, Fritz Ruhman and H. A. Dickel were appointed to prepare a Fourth of July celebration in town on the approaching Glorious Fourth. Another meeting was to have been held last evening, when the indications were good for a rousing celebration. The plan contemplates a parade of floats in the morning, speechifying and the usual exercises appropriate to the day. The committee has prepared an outline of floats, including Columbia, Free Cuba, Dewey Landing at Manila, Member the Maine, California, Orange County Seventh Regiment, and floats of business houses. The program is not yet complete, but those in charge of the celebration inform us as we go to press that a way-up, old-fashioned celebration will be the result of last night's meeting. The city band has had an offer to play at the Los Angeles celebration, but will withhold their acceptance until the matter of the celebration here is definitely determined upon. Sheriff Nichols on Saturday arrested at Santa Ana one John A. Hogan, aged about 45 years, and charged him with being one of the burglars who robbed the Newport Postoffice a fortnight ago. The circumstantial evidence is strong against Hogan, even the cut in the thumb of the right hand showing where the burglar cut himself on the broken glass in the rear window in effecting an entrance to the building the night of the robbery. Sewed up in his sleeve was $111 in currency, and altogether $128 was found upon his person. Sheriff Nichols has worked assiduously to catch his man for two weeks past, having been on his track almost night and day since the burglary, which was the largest of its kind in Southern California this year. Hogan was run down in a Santa Ana saloon on Saturday afternoon. At first he stoutly protested ever being at Newport, but was soon recognized by the Newport watchman as one of two men seen at that place early on the morning of the robbery walking on the wharf. The burglar wears a dark beard, is blind of one eye, and is said to have spent some days in Anaheim about the time of the robbery. He fought vigorously against being photographed, but two fairly good views were taken of him. Papers found upon him leave but little doubt that he is a member of the gang of postoffice thieves who have been operating in Southern California for some time past. On arriving at Santa Ana some weeks ago he begged for meals at a number of residences, and his flush expenditure of money after the Newport, robbery was one of the suspicious circumstances leading up to his arrest. He is now confined at the County Jail. Pacific railroad station. He has packed sixty cars this season; last year he packed forty. But more money was realized from those forty carloads than the sixty cars bring after all the returns shall be in. Just now one-half of the oranges brought in have to be rejected as culls. Mr. Allen attributes the unfavorable condition of the market not to any glut, nor to foreign competition, but to the fact that the shipment of a good deal of frozen and chilled fruit has caused mistrust and to the further fact that the backwardness of the summer has rendered the flavor less delicate.
