WATER BOARD IN SESSION Broadway Ditch to be Cemented. Property owners along the Street Have the Privilege of Having a Pipe Put in if They will Pay the Additional Cost—They to Haul the Cement and Gravel and Do the Back Filling—The Matter of the Night-water Rate—Mr. Vail, and How He is Affected by Ten Shares of Stock Which a Lady Living in Los Angeles Owns—He Uses Emphatic Language—Legal Aspects of the Case. The Directors of the water company met in regular session on Saturday afternoon; present, Messrs. Fay, Pierotti, Rea, Chapman, Nebelung and Crowther; absent, Mr. Benchley, who is still confined to his home with a sprained ankle. Mr. Fay reported in the matter of the canvas to be used in the river bed between the division gate and head gate (which had been laid over to permit an investigation into the cost of lumber for the work), that he found that lumber was a very costly consideration, and would come to more at the yard than double the cost of the canvas. Seventy-five thousand feet of lumber would be needed, and to this would have to be added the cost of hauling up. He was therefore opposed to the use of lumber, and the original purpose of the board, to use canvas, which will be oiled and placed in the river bed in times of scarcity of water to prevent seepage, was permitted to stand. Mr. Crowther brought up the matter of the ditch on Mr. Ross' north line. The road had been plowed up, he said, and every gate taken up by the road overseer. He argued that now was the time for the construction of the cement ditch on that thoroughfare, and he introduced the following resolution: Resolved That the construction of the cement ditch on Mr. Ross' north line, and extending in a westerly direction a distance of seven-eighths of a mile (the same having been recommended by the ditch committee on the 4th inst.), be constructed, under the supervision of the Superintendent, work on the ditch to commence immediately, and the board authorizes the imposition of the time limit was deferred until the next meeting of the board. We might have a flood between now and then, he said. Upon suggestion of Mr. Pierotti the application of Pete Bondeson, who recently purchased land south of the Placentia schoolhouse, and who asked for a gate in the cement ditch on Placentia avenue, was referred to the Ditch Committee. Mr. Pierotti had informed Mr. Bondeson of the rules of the company in such cases made and provided that he haul the gravel and cement for the job. To this the gentleman had assented. The chair submitted an estimate of the cost of the necessary additions to the cement fill at former flume 12, but at the suggestion of Mr. Pierotti the same was permitted to lay over to some future meeting. Mr. Rea thought the work of carrying out the chair's suggestion with reference to the fill should be carried out at once, but Mr. Pierotti was of opinion that no immediate necessity existed for the work—that it could, in fact, lie over until Fall. On motion of Mr. Chapman, seconded by Mr. Rea, applications for the transfer of stock were ordered to be brought before the board at the regular meetings. J. A. Vall of Fullerton appeared before the board and said that a lady living in Los Angeles had 10 shares of stock and owned no property in the district; he had leased her stock, the certificate of which is in the possession of a Los Angeles bank as pledgee; the bank was willing, he said, to have him purchase water upon it on his land, but refused to locate the stock thereupon. He asked whether, under these conditions, he should be permitted to purchase water upon the stock. Secretary Blennerhassett observed that the bank had notified him they would not consent to the locating of the stock upon the land in question. The Chair—The board can do nothing in the premises unless it has the certificate before it. Mr. Vall—I would like to ask the Secretary if the agent of the bank has not written down here agreeing to the transfer of the stock? The Secretary—No, sir. Mr. Vall—Than the agent lies! Mr. Crowther raised the point that no water could be delivered upon the stock unless it be located upon the land sought to be irrigated. Mr. Vall observed the lady had no land and could not locate the stock unless she leased it to a land owner in the district. Mr. Pierotti placed himself on record as being opposed to leasing stock. WILL COME UP TO TOWN Southern Pacific to Build Santa Ana Street. A Commodious Freight and Passenger Depot to be Erected on Santa Ana Street, Between Claudina and Philadelphia Streets—The Road Continue on out Olive Street and affect a Junction With the Tree Branch at the Semaphore—Will probably be Constructed to Placentia, on to Chino—Work to Begin as as Right-of-way is Secured. I. N. Pattison, representing Southern Pacific railway company arrived in Anaheim on Saturday evening, and has since been applying for self diligently to the work of secur easements from property owner Santa Ana and Olive streets, agreed to the construction of the railway from its present location in the west city limits to a depot site at the corner of Los Angeles and Santa Ana street. The road will continue thence at Santa Ana street to Olive street whence it will curve through the Husf property and run along Olive street southerly, to connect with the Tree branch at the semaphore a mile south of southern city limits. The Konig property, at the corner Los Angeles and Santa Ana street is among the sites favored as an up-depot site, and options upon property that point will probably be secured running from the corner of the street mentioned easterly as far as Chino. Although Mr. Pattison is giving attention mainly to the securing of materials from property owners upon the two streets in town which it is contemplated the road run, there are well-authenticated ports to the effect that the Place road will be built, with Chino as objective point. Recent surveys south of Mr. Crowther brought up the matter of the ditch on Mr. Ross' north line. The road had been plowed up, he said, and every gate taken up by the road overseer. He argued that now was the time for the construction of the cement ditch on that thoroughfare, and he introduced the following resolution: Resolved, That the construction of the cement ditch on Mr. Ross' north line, and extending in a westerly direction a distance of seven-eighths of a mile (the same having been recommended by the ditch committee on the 4th inst.), be constructed, under the supervision of the Superintendent, work on the ditch to commence immediately, and the board authorizes the Engineer to set the grade stakes for said ditch and lay off the same. The capacity of the ditch not to be less than 250 inches. Supt. Sheppard observed that the property-owners along the line of the ditch had agreed to begin hauling the gravel for the ditch on Monday, at 65 cents per yard. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Pierotti and carried. Mr. Nebelung called up the petition of property-owners on Broadway, asking that the ditch on that thoroughfare be cemented. The chair asked whether the ditch on Cypress street, running along Mr. Ruhmann's premises, had been cemented. The Superintendent—No sir. The Chair (in surprise)—Do you come here to the office and find out if there are any orders for the cementing of ditches? The Superintendent—I try to. The Chair—That piece of ditch was ordered to be cemented two weeks ago. There is an order on file in this office for the Superintendent to carry out that work. The Superintendent said he would attend to it. Secretary Blennerhassett read the petition of property-owners on Broadway petitioning for the cementing of the ditch on that street. Mr. Nebelung stated, in support of his contention that the ditch be cemented, that it is in its present condition a nuisance; it is wide and the banks are low, and whenever any one irrigates from it, the water runs over the banks, to the discomfiture of parties living on the street. He thought the people living on the street preferred a pipe to a cement ditch, and was of the opinion that they would be willing to pay the difference between the increased cost of the pipe and the cost of cementing. He moved that the ditch be cemented, it being understood the property-owners may have the privileged piping if they will stand the additional cost. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rea. Mr. Pierotti renewed his objection made at last meeting to the cementing of the ditch, without the hauling of gravel and cement by the property owners. He felt that the residents along the street should stand at least half the price of the ditch, by hauling the cement and gravel for it, and doing the back filling. The Placentaia people are required to do this, and he argued it was nothing more than fair for the town people to do the same. The motion was after further discussion carried, the mover adding to the motion that property-owners along the ditch harlsthe gravel and cement and do the back filling. The chair stated that Theo. Rimpaud had complained to him, in the matter of the broken wooden culvert across Palm street in front of his property, saying that he had from time immemorial had the water delivered to him from the ditch on Broadway, the corner at the intersection of the two streets being his highest point. The chair—The board can do nothing in the premises unless it has the certificate before it. Mr. Vail—I would like to ask the Secretary if the agent of the bank has not written down here agreeing to the transfer of the stock? The Secretary—No, sir. Mr. Vail—Than the agent lies! Mr. Crowther raised the point that no water could be delivered upon the stock unless it be located upon the land sought to be irrigated. Mr. Vail observed the lady had no land and could not locate the stock unless she leased it to a land owner in the district. Mr. Pierotti placed himself on record as being opposed to leasing stock. The discussion developed many interesting points, and was participated in by Attorney Melrose. Mr. Chapman, the chair and other members of the board. The board finally agreed that if Mr. Vail should bring in the certificate he would be entitled to the purchase of water upon it? Mr. Carpenter asked what would be the result if, after Mr. Vail had secured the stock, the bank should dispose of it to a third party; would not be purchaser, presenting the certificate at the company's office, be entitled to buy water upon it. The attorney rather thought he would. Mr. Carpenter stated his position to be the accommodation of the people, if the interests of the company were not jeopardized thereby. Mr. Vail asked, if he should hold the certificate and he be attached, what would become of the stock? He was told to procure a written order from the bank to be premitted to purchase water upon the stock for a term not less than one year, or get possession of the certificate, and the board would attend to his case. The board here went into executive session. BUENA PARK. Washington's Birthday and Lincoln's were observed together on the 22d at public school. The exercises were very enjoyable. Rev. D. W.

Mr. and Mrs. Richardson of Orange were here on Monday looking for a dairy ranch. This interesting as well as satirical piece of railroad news made nothing less than the construction of the road out Olive street easterly thence northerly to Placentia, and to Chino. Although Mr. Pattison is giving tention mainly to securing of its elements from property-owners upon the two streets in town which it is contemplated the road run, there are well-authenticated ports tothe effect thatthe Plaza road will be built with Chino's objective point.

ThiswouldmakeAnahe the cement and gravel for it, and doing the back filling. The Placentia people are required to do this, and he argued it was nothing more than fair for the town people to do the same. The motion was after further discussion carried, the mover adding to the motion that property owners along the ditch had the gravel and cement and do the back filling. The chair stated that Theo Rimpan had complained to him, in the matter of the broken wooden culvert across Palm street in front of his property, saying that he had from time immemorial had the water delivered to him from the ditch on Broadway, the corner at the intersection of the two streets being his highest point. The zanjero had notified him recently to put the crossing in order, and he appealed to the President of the company, saying the company had always kept the culvert in repair, and he hoped it would do so in the present instance. It developed that the culvert was used as a waste way for surplus water running down the Broadway ditch. On motion of Mr. Crowther, seconded by Mr. Nebelung, the culvert was ordered replaced by a vitrified pipe. The chair brought up the matter of the charge for night water, saying a number of irrigators in the southern part of the district were being reached by runs of water during the night, and had complained of the charge (which is three-fifths of that of day water). He held that on moonlight nights the charge was not unreasonable, but on the dark and cold nights that have prevailed during the winter, the charge would seem to him to be excessive. At such times an irrigator loses much of the water, he pays more for his help and is subjected to many inconveniences. He suggested that the charge for night water might be cut in half. Mr. Rea observed that night water was not worth one-half the price of day water to him. The man who had to irrigate at night these cold nights was in his opinion out of luck. Mr. Pierrot said, sententiously, that the way to do away with night irrigation was to build the reservoir. The chair said he brought the matter up for the reason that he wished the members of the board to think it over and come to the next meeting prepared to offer some suggestions for the betterment of the night-water rule. The chair said he had been asked by irrigators as to the time between runs, and he had informed them that if they took night water the runs would come around quicker. He suggested that the time limit be invoked, if necessary, and that each share be limited to 30 minutes on each run during the summer. Supt. Sheppard stated that the run on this side was behind on account of the water having been out of the ditch for ten days during the recent cleaning operations.

N. Pattison, representing the Northern Pacific railway company, arrives Anaheim on Saturday evening and has since been applying himself diligently to the work of securing items from property owners on Santa Ana and Olive streets, agreeing the construction of the railroad lines present location in the western limits to a depot site at the corner of Angeles and Santa Ana streets. Broad will continue thence along Santa Ana street to Olive street, once it will curve through the Dreyer property and run along Olive street nearby, to connect with the Tustin branch at the semaphore a mile south of southern city limits. The Konig property, at the corner of Angeles and Santa Ana streets, along the sites favored as an up-town site, and options upon property at point will probably be secured from the corner of the streets connected easterly as far as Olive street. This interesting as well as satisfac piece of railroad news means less than the construction of road out Olive street easterly and the northerly to Placentia, and on Olive. Although Mr. Pattison is giving attention mainly to the securing of ease from property-owners living in the two streets in town along which it is contemplated the road will there are well-authenticated rejection to the effect that the Placentia will be built, with Chino as the native point. Recent surveys south of Chino announce a public entertainment at their ball in the Rockefeller block on Friday.

Recent surveys south of Chino occasioned the report that the Northern Pacific was surveying a line in the direction of this city, the present railroad rumors add to the report. Mr. Pattison was asked on Monday soon the road would be constructed at the right of way was secured. He authority, direct from the company, warrants him in saying the work begin immediately upon securing rights-of-way. Mr. Pattison reports good progress securing rights of way.

Those of the Placentia residents who have been in town during the week have been enthusiastic for the probability of the road build-out their way, and no doubt valuable concessions in right of way materials and depot grounds will be made to company.

It is quite necessary to say that his efforts in securing right-of-way for the road have met with instantaneous co-operation upon part of the citizens of the community. THE LATEST. Yesterday Mr. Pattison reported that he had made excellent progress in the matter of securing rights-of-way, and everything pointed to a speedy beginning of the work. The depot grounds will be located between Claudina and Philadelphia streets, in the Konig tract, fronting on Santa Ana street. Cement sidewalks will be put down in Los Angeles and Claudina streets as far as Santa Ana street. This part of the city, at present devoted to residences, will become quite a scene of business activity. It can be authoritatively stated that all indications point to the building of the road to Placentia. The enterprising citizens of that locality should bear themselves and see to it that nothing is left undone to the end that rights of way may be secured and the road constructed while the railway construction forces are here next month.

Hahn was driving in with a load of oranges from Placentaia consigned to Boyd's packing house. As he was driving over the levee at the sandwash at Crowther's crossing, he ran off the road, one of the wheels leaving the levee and settling in the sand at the side of the roadway. The horses were unable to pull it out. Hahn unhitched them and walked into town with them. The next day Wm. Champlin took out his two truck horses to haul the load of oranges in. He hitched the team to the wagon and as he started to haul it out of its predicament, both wheels ran off the levee and the wagon and its load of 142 boxes of oranges was overturned. He unhitched his horses and walked back to town. Hahn had to get a couple of light wagons and go out and gather up the oranges and bring them into the packing house, and by this time the fruit is in the Eastern market.
