The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening; present, Rust, Helmsen, Dickel and Schwenkert. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for June: For water, $148.65; delinquents collected, $22.10; total, $170.75. For electric light, $172.65; delinquents collected, $8.85; total, $181.50. For licenses, $174.50; delinquents collected, $2; total, $176.50; grand total, $528.75; 5 per cent commission for collecting ($26.44); deposited with the Treasurer, $502.31. Water delinquents, $41.75; licenses, $11.25; total, $53. Treasurer Cahen reported a balance in the general fund amounting to $557.52, and total funds in the treasury, $2229.52. Clerk Nebelung's monthly financial statement showed a balance in the general fund of $547.03, and a total in treasury of $2219.02, the difference of $10.50 between his figures and those of the treasurer being accounted for by an outstanding warrant in that amount, held by Jacob Vetter. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the examination of the various officers' reports, finding the same correct, and the auditing of the various demands against the city. Trustee Schwenkert of the Committee of Public Improvements, reported the work of putting in the fire alarm system had been temporarily stayed by the trees in front of Mr. Lewis' place on Center street. The trees interfered with the insulation of the wires, and there is therefore liability during wet weather of burning out the machinery at the case a vicious cow staked upon the street had chased children, the rope being long enough to reach several times across the street. The Marshal said he knew of a case where a cow had been staked upon the street with 300 feet of rope. He was instructed to notify owners of stock not to pasture them on the street. The Clerk reported that he had rendered a statement of water and light furnished the cannery, amounting to $30 for water from July 1st to Aug. 1st, placing the amount used at 7500 gallons daily, at 15 cents per 1000 gallons. The cannery directors regarded the amount as being too high. Mr. Fay claimed that he can raise water at ½ of a cent per 1000 gallons. He had stated that he should like to have a contract with the city to furnish it all the water needed at 5 cents per 1000 gallons. A discussion arose as to the number of gallons used at the cannery. Trustee Rust stated that Supt. Kennedy had informed him that about 1500 gallons was being used daily. Marshal Steadman stated that Engineer Byers had informed him that from 8000 to 10,000 gallons daily were being used. In making the charge for the water used he had charged the cannery what he regarded as being sufficient to reimburse the city for the water furnished; If the amount was too high, the same could be cut down. The matter went over without action. The Marshal reported that he had accosted Michael Neipp, requesting payment for the saloon license granted him to conduct a saloon in the Commercial hotel: but Michael had declined to pay, saying he would permit the license to lapse, and when the hotel was opened he would apply for a new license. So ordered. A communication was read from the Bell Rock oil company of Los Angeles acknowledging receipt of $50, forwarded by the City Clerk, the same being the amount of their deposit with their bid to furnish the city oil for one year, made in January last. The Bell Rock people wrote that they were surprised to learn that the city had deducted $17 25 from their bill of $474 33, on account of water in the oil and freight on same. But the records show that this was even so, and the city acknowledged them $457 09, which will be paid as soon as finances accumulated in the city treasury—which at present is empty. A letter was read from F. O. Frazier of Los Angeles, from whom the city is now purchasing oil, making protest against a reduction made in the amount due him on account of water in the four cars of oil shipped by the city by him. Mr. Frazier claimed the oil to be 17 gravity, while tests here show the same to be 15 gravity. The Clerk was instructed to write Mr. Frazier advising him to keep the water out of the oil, and that the oil now here was subject to his test. Heinigkeiten.

The Justice fined Cox $10,$2 50 of which he promised to be in a day or two Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the examination of the various officers' reports, finding the same correct, and the auditing of the various demands against the city. Trustee Schwenkckert of the Committee of Public Improvements, reported the work of putting in the fire alarm system had been temporarily stayed by the trees in front of Mr. Lewis' place on Center street. The trees interfered with the insulation of the wires, and there is therefore liability during wet weather of burning out the machinery at the power house. Mr. Lewis did not feel like standing in the way of any public improvements, but he suggested that instead of mutilating the trees, as would be necessary to permit of a proper working of the wires, the trees be taken out entirely. The committee suggested that the wires be raised five feet to cover the tops of the trees, and after discussion, the committee was empowered to raise the city wires as in their judgment seemed best in all cases rather than to mutilate the trees on the public streets. The committee reported the arrival of four carloads of oil, and suggested that a double top be placed on the house covering the new tank at the power house. The tank ought to be covered immediately, as Mr. Schneider of the power house had trouble in keeping children away from the place. The recommendation of the committee was accepted, and the roof of the house ordered built according to its suggestions. The committee also reported that the superintendent of the water company had received instructions to repair the ditch on Center street, near Mr. Albrecht's place. Further time was given in the matter of the relocation of the ditch running along Mr. Mickle's place. The committee reported the Hussmann houses moved back to the sidewalk line. The report was ordered filed. Trustee Dickel of the Ordinance Committee reported the draft of two ordinances, imposing licenses on temporary places of business, and reducing the fine in cases of riding wheels on sidewalks, from $10 for the first offense to $5. The ordinances were read and laid over for a fortnight under the usual rule. Under the head of new business Trustee Helmsen stated that Herman Stern had made complaint of the humming of the arc lights in his store. A new arc was being placed in the store that evening by a gentleman from Los Angeles, which arc did not burn, and which Engineer Byers of the power house had pronounced to be of satisfactory make. The proposition of the owner of the arc was that it be permitted to burn for 100 hours, in order to show what it can do. The committee suggested that the offer be accepted, and on Mr. Dickel's suggestion that two of the arcs be placed in position, the committee's suggestion was agreed to. Marshal Steadman reported that he had recently discovered that a surreptitious connection with the city water main had been made connecting the residence belonging to Walter Eyman, on Cypress street, and occupied by George Boyd. The connection had been made in the rear of the premises, a junction being effected with the pipe leading to the Chinese houses on Charres street. Some days ago he had learned that city water was being used in the house, and on asking Mr. Eyman about it, that gentleman replied that he had made the connection. About 20 months ago, the Marshal said, Eyman had approached him... Marshal Steadman reported that he had recently discovered that a surreptitious connection with the city water main had been made connecting the residence belonging to Walter Eyman, on Cypress street, and occupied by George Boyd. The connection had been made in the rear of the premises, a junction being effected with the pipe leading to the Chinese houses on Char-tres street. Some days ago he had learned that city water was being used in the house, and on asking Mr. Eyman about it, that gentleman replied that he had made the connection. About 20 months ago, the Marshal said, Eyman had approached him and asked the water rate for dwellings of the character of the house in question, and had been furnished with the desired information. Water had been used in the house for 20 months, and at the rate of $1.25 per month, the amount due the city was $25. The present occupant of the house was entirely willing to pay the water rates. The Marshal was instructed to collect the amount due from Eyman, destroy the connection, and if a water connection were desired, to make it in the usual manner, by connecting with the main running in the street in front of the building. He was also instructed to investigate the manner of making the present connection, at the suggestion of Trustee Schwenckert, for the purpose of bringing a misdemeanor charge, and report at the next meeting. A petition was read from Mrs. Scott, Claude Means, Mrs. Alex Wright and others setting forth the fact that Olive street between Sycamore and North was in poor condition on account of the sand, and asking that gravel be hauled and placed upon its surface. The matter precipitated a discussion relative to the necessity for repairing the streets in the outlying sections, Trustee Schwenckert stating that portions of Broadway were sadly in need of repairs. Clerk Nebelung came to the rescue by offering 40 or 50 loads of pampas grass from his pampas ranch in North Anaheim, to be applied upon the sandy stretches, as a temporary relief until Fall, when the board agreed to haul gravel and continue the work of reclaiming the outside streets. The board decided to accept the offer of the Clerk, and the pampas grass will be applied to the sandy stretches immediately. Trustee Schwenckert observed that there was an ordinance prohibiting the staking of horses and cows on the streets, and called attention to the frequent violations of the same.

The men are brothers-in-law their wives being sisters. Some days before, Bill's little girl and some other children had cut down nine stalks of corn growing on the dividing line between the two places, and when Bill drove home from work that evening Sam ran out of his place and accused Bill's little girl of doing wanton mischief and ruining a part of his crop. Sam began upbraiding Bill's little girl when she latter alighted from his go-cart and informed Sam that if he wanted anything out of his kid to come out and take it out of his hide. Sam declined but he came to town early the next morning and lodged a complaint before Judge Pierce charging Bill with disturbing his peace but discharged the prisoner although he had to warn both gentlemen severely times that unless they refrained from their recriminations in the courtroom they would both be fined for contempt of court.
