PLAZA SUIT GOES ON. $30 Appropriated for Preliminary Court Expenses. Petition Signed by 73 Citizens, Protesting Against the Bringing of the Suit, Laid Upon the Table—Trustee Dickel Desires His Vote Recorded as in Opposition to the Course Pursued—Dr. Bullard Comes Down from Los Angeles to State His Views—Puts a Question or Two to the City Attorney. Who Is of Opinion the City Has Irrevocable Rights in the Property—Papers in the Suit to Be Filed To-day—Mr. Whitney's Wagon "Falls Through the Street," and He Wants the City to Pay for It—Repairs Cost Him $4.50, and He Threatens to Sue the Town. There was a full board present at the meeting of the City Trustees on Tuesday evening, and a number of citizens were present to note the progress of the suit to recover possession of the plaza at the corner of Center and Palm streets. A petition signed by 73 property owners was presented protesting against the bringing of the suit. This was laid upon the table, and later a warrant was ordered drawn in the amount of $30 for the costs of filing the papers in the suit and serving the summons. Marshal Steadman made the following report of collections for June: For water, $179.25; licenses, $190; lights, $222.80; total, $592.05; less 5 per cent for collecting ($29.60); deposited with Treasurer, $562.45. Treasurer Cahen reported the following amounts on hand: General fund, $631.20; Improvement fund No. 1, $1275.58; No. 2, $28.21; No. 3, $57.27; total in treasury, $1992.26. Clerk Nebelung's monthly financial statement tallied with the Treasurer's report. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the auditing of the various demands against the city, and the examination of reports of officers. Trustee Schwenckert of the Public Improvements Committee reported that Kroeger street had been graded and opened up, and a temporary bridge placed across the ditch on Santa Ana street. The tank lid and ladder at the power-house had been put in shape. Trustee Dickel of the Ordinance Committee submitted a draft of an ordinance granting a franchise to the dormant for thirty years longer? The suit was for the purpose of determining the rights of the property-holders interested, and his information was that three of the present holders of the property purchased with a full knowledge of the existence of the rights of the city in the premises. Trustee Schwenckert—I move the petition be filed— Trustee Helmsen (interrupting)—To lay on the table? Trustee Schwenckert—I move that the petition lay on the table. The motion was seconded by Trustee Helmsen and summarily laid upon the table. There were no votes against laying on the table. Subsequently, when Trustee Dickel, who opposes bringing the suit, sought to have it taken up, and was informed the petition was on the table to stay, he desired his vote to be recorded as emphatically against such procedure. The citizens of the city had some rights, he said, and the petitioners were entitled to respectful consideration. Trustee Helmsen replied that the people had delegated rights to the board by electing them to office; and they could not deprive them of those rights by petition. Dr. Bullard was present from Los Angeles, and on being called upon, said that he had come at the request of Bishop Montgomery, who is one of the interested parties in the suit. The Bishop had closely investigated the case during the past two weeks, and had taken legal advice, and if suit was inevitable, he was quite willing to go ahead and test the matter in the courts. The Doctor was of the opinion that the matter of the title could never be quieted except by a suit. Feeling confident that the property-holders are right in the matter, they are more than willing to meet the city of Anaheim in a contest in the courts. However, he desired to ask City Attorney Chynoweth a question or two, on behalf of the Bishop. On Mr. Chynoweth acquiescing the Doctor asked: Does City Attorney feel convinced that the filing of a map with the plaza upon it, constituted a dedication of such property to the public use, or was it merely an offer of such dedication? The City Attorney replied that the filing of such map for record, if there were no other action connected with it, would be simply an offer to dedicate. Mr. Chynoweth replying to other questions said that from an investigation of the records and a personal examination of the subject, he was of the opinion that the city had passed into irrevocable ownership of the property. Dr. Bullard announced after the colloquy that the property-owners were willing, under all the circumstances, to go on with the suit. They had consulted able counsel and were agreeable to testing their rights in the courts. He added that this matter had been he would probably bring four suits, one against each of the property owners occupying the corners. He said he would probably file papers against Mrs. Langenberger first, having had these papers made out. These papers he contemplated filing yesterday. However, he said he might file all the papers on Saturday. CANNERY AND DRYER. Three Hundred People Employed in Preparing the Apricot Crop for Market. The surprise of the season is the way apricot crop is turning out. A day or two ago Manager Boyd of the dryer said: "Please tell me where all these apricots are coming from." The cots have been piling in on him at the rate of 25 tons per day, and a force of 150 employees are kept busy from morning till night in pitting and placing them upon trays for the drying grounds. Some weeks ago it was thought the crop would fall somewhat under the average. With reports from other sections that the crop was short, and in places indeed practically a failure, it was considered that the estimates of the local crop might be a trifle exaggerated. But now that the growers are in midst of the season it becomes apparent that the crop will be in excess of the highest estimates. The drying grounds on Orange street cover two acres, and Mr. Boyd says he ought to have at least two acres more to accommodate the fruit. He handled 125 tons last week, and will have at least 100 tons this week. He reckons the apricot season as about half over. Some growers have finished work of gathering their crop, others are half over and the later varieties are just coming in. The dryer is a scene of business activity that it is a pleasure to contemplate. Many of the employees earn from $150 to $20 per day, and the children pitting the fruit get from 50 cents to 75 cents, and in cases as high as $1 per day. The apricots already cured are fine specimens of dried fruit. Packing operations will begin next week. It is worthy of remark that the first dried fruit in fancy packages ever shipped across the water to Europe was shipped by Mr. Boyd from this point. The dispatches have lately contained a reference to the fact that the Empress of Germany, seeing some California dried fruit on exhibition in Berlin, became very favorably impressed with it. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the auditing of the various demands against the city, and the examination of reports of officers. Trustee Schwenckert of the Public Improvements Committee reported that Kroeger street had been graded and opened up, and a temporary bridge placed across the ditch on Santa Ana street. The tank lid and ladder at the power-house had been put in shape. Trustee Dickel of the Ordinance Committee submitted a draft of an ordinance granting a franchise to the water company for the water-pipe line through the Konig tract and on Los Angeles, Elm and Davis streets. Under the rule, the same was laid over for one week. Clerk Nebelung as a special committee to whom had been referred the matter of the discrepancy in the rates between the Lancashire and Germania insurance companies, reported that the policy of the former company, which was in the amount of $89, while that of the other was $78.87, had been returned to the agent, Mr. Melrose, who had not yet heard from headquarters relative to the request of the city for a reduction to the figures of the other company. However, the agents for the Germania company, Rimpau Bros., had since then raised their policy to the figures of the former company (both being in the insurance union), their former figures having been in error. The Clerk was instructed to await receipt of the Lancashire company's communication. He also reported that the water company had notified the railroad company to lengthen the short bridges placed under the track on Santa Ana and Olive streets. The Clerk read the following petition of property owners protesting against the bringing of the plaza suit: To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Anahale Element: We the undersigned citizens of the town of Anahale, do request your honorable board to seriously consider any legal action which we are informed, you are about to take respecting the so-called plaza. We do consider it doubtful, and more than doubtful, with all due respect to the advice you have received from your Attorney, whether plaza could now be secured by the city, and for these reasons: 1. We cannot understand how the simple recording of a map of a tract of land showing the word plaza—not the words public plaza—upon a portion of it, thirty years ago, can now make such portion public property; must no acceptance, no transfer of any kind, no action being taken, nor any use being made of it by the public, during all this period, looking its acquisition. 2. On the contrary, the public, as represented by its State, county and city corporations, have assessed such land as private property; there are no collections done there during all this period. They have permitted transfer after transfer to be made from one innocent purchaser to another, and never for the period of one generation asserted title. They have from time to time sold some portions of it for taxes, and to-day the title to one part of it rests under the city authority. Wherefore, we cannot but look upon such acts as above as public disclaimers on the part of the public to any possessory right in these lands whatever. 3. At the time of the recording of this map, the northeast quarter of such plaza was not, nor has ever been, the property owned by our老板 who made it. It was then held in fee simple by one Wm. Hummeltberg of San Francisco. Neither he, nor any of his successors or assigns, have ever assented to such unwarranted appropriation of their property to plaza uses. How, then, can the town now claim it with any more showing of light or justice than to the property owned by our老板 who made it. 4. We would call to your attention the fact that even twelve years ago Messrs. Lee & Scott, now associate counsel for the city of Los Angeles in her suit against the Los Angeles Water company, after careful examination, gave the opinion that the City of Anahale called plaza property; and that Zach Montgomery, from 1888 to 1892 the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, has but lately given the same opinion. The City Attorney replied that the filing of such map for record, if there were no other action connected with it, would be simply an offer to dedicate. Mr. Chynoweth replying to other questions said that from an investigation of the records and a personal examination of the subject, he was of the opinion that the city had passed into irrevocable ownership of the property. Dr. Bullard announced after the colloquy that the propertyowners were willing, under all circumstances, to go on with the suit. They had consulted able counsel and were agreeable to testing their rights in the courts. He added that this matter had been brought up some years ago, while he was yet a resident of the city, and had been dropped. He did not understand why it should be taken up again at this time. Mr. Schneider explained that recent offer of Mr. Melrose to dispose of a block of land to the city for park purposes had revived the matter, and after a thorough investigation of the case, the board had decided to attempt the recovery of the property. Mr. Chynoweth said that in attempt to abandon the city's rights in the plaza property some years ago, two of the City Trustees were interested parties (Witte and Schindler), each occupying a corner of the property. Trustee Helmsen said the petition that sought to revert the plaza back to acreage property was killed on second reading. It came near passing by the old board, some five years ago; but when new board came in, the work of old board was ferreted out, and the abandonment proceedings defeated. Since then all the acts of the board with reference to the property involved have been with a view to protecting the city's rights in the premises. Mr. Williamson, one of the owners of the property involved, arose and gave the board benefit of his observations upon the case. He had not yet employed counsel, but he was prepared to fight the case to a finish in the courts. His abstract goes back to 1860, and there is no reference to the plaza in it at all. He said the Trustees would find they had a white elephant on their hands. "If I had a white elephant on my hands," he continued, "I wouldn't feed it." Mr. Williamson and Attorney Chynoweth engaged in a discussion about the merits of the case. The former argued that best interests of all concerned would be best subserved by an amicable suit at minimum expense. Williamson — What would be the probable cost of the case in the Superior Court? Chynoweth — I think the city would win the suit. Williamson — That cuts no ice; what would be the costs of the suit? Chynoweth — Oh! I beg pardon; I thought you asked what course The Court would pursue. The costs would amount to about $25 or $30 if you agreed tothe factsofthecaseby stipulation;ifyouhadtocollectevidence,thecostswouldprobablybe$200.Mr.Cynowethsaidthata certifiedcopyofthemapshowingtheplazawouldcost$85.

Langenberger, who made the record. It was then held in fee simple by one Wm. Hummeltenberg of San Francisco. Neither he, nor any of his successors or assigns, have ever assented to such unwarranted appropriation of their property to plaza uses. How, then, can the town now claim it with any more showing of right or justice than to the property of any of us. We would call to your attention the fact that even twelve years ago Messrs. Lee & Scott, now associate counsel tor the city of Los Angeles Water company, after careful examination, gave the opinion that the City of Anaheim had no title whatever to all called plaza property and that Zach Montgomery from 1888 to 1892 the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, has but lately given the same opinion. We would ask you, further, to consider the great injustice you would do the innocent purchasers of these lands in your attempt to oust them from their possessions, after having admitted their ownership and that of their predecessors for a generation of time, and after having assessed and taxed them for all this period for the public benefit. We are given to understand that the present owners of this property are firmly united in their determination to dispute this, to them, very unjust claim of your body against them; that they are confident of the right and justice of their contention. They have already employed able attorneys for their cause, and are amply able and are ready to litigate for indefinite time, and to the court of last resort, if necessary. We do, therefore, respectfully protest against your using of the city's money contributed by us through taxation to prosecute these suits, believing, as we do, from the statement above given, that the city will surely lose and be subject to heavy costs in the issue. We submit that the city now has no money for costly litigation; that any monies available should be expended upon our highways, which are in bad condition, and whose repair and good condition are of vastly more consequence to us and to the good name of our city than can be this plaza. It will be very costly to acquire, if through litigation, and a constant source of expense to us to keep in condition ever after. Moreover, its location is unfortunate—to far from our schools and business centers to be of any practical advantage. Bearing in mind the costly and unsatisfactory litigations from which our community has suffered in times gone by, we would beg of you to consider carefully this present matter before bringing these law suits upon us. The petition was signed by 73 names, and was headed by F. A. Backs, Judge Shanley, Mrs. Halberstadt, Mrs. Langenberger, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Knox, Joseph Dauser, W.T. Brown and a long list of residents. Trustee Helmsen, who has taken the initiative in the bringing of the suit, said that so far as the request that the suit be dropped was concerned, the Trustees had no right to abandon it. The property, in the opinion of the Trustees, belonged to the city, and the Trustees could not lawfully abandon the suit to recover it. The petitioners asked the board not to bring suit, they say nothing can come out of a suit. They say the matter has been lying dormant for thirty years. Shall it lay agreed to the facts of the case by stipulation; if you had to collect evidence, the costs would probably be $200. Mr. Chynoweth said that a certified copy of the map showing the plaza would cost $65. After a further discussion, Trustee Helmsen moved that the City Attorney proceed with the suit, and conduct it as cheaply as possible; but to win it if he seconded by Trustee Schwenckert, and carried, all voting for it, in the understanding that the suit is to be a friendly one. Later a warrant in the amount of $30 was drawn in favor of Mr. Chynoweth, to pay the preliminary costs of bringing the suit. N. E. Whitney of Downey appeared before the board, asking to be excused for deigning to appear before such an August body, as he had never done such a thing before. He was troubled with stage fright, but managed to say that while traveling through the city with a load of well tools, his wagon had "dropped through the street." The tongue of his wagon was broken, and the costs for repairing it amounted to $4 50. "We don't think we have a right to pay this bill," he said, "and I wanted to see if the city wouldn't stand good for it." Trustee Rust nearly fell out of his chair as he asked why the city should stand good for the loss. Marshal Steadman was called upon for information, and stated that probably a gopher hole and irrigating water were responsible for the accident. The wheels had sunk half way to the hubs, and the tongue had been broken when the driver sought to have his horses pull out. If the tongue had not broken, the wagon would have been pulled out all right. The board informed Mr. Whitney they could do nothing for him, and proceeded to other business. Mr. Whitney (recovering from his stage fright) Then am I to understand that the only show for us is to bring suit against the city? Trustee Rust—That's the only way, I guess. Mr. Whitney strode out of the hall whistling "How'd You Like to be the Iceman?" Protest of J. B. Neff against the closing of streets in the Del Campo tract. Filed. Letter from J. H.

Mr. Chynoweth said yesterday that The two establishments give employment to 300 hands, and in the neighborhood of $1500 per week is disbursed among them. Apricots are being hauled from La Habra, Fullerton and other outlying sections, and a constant line of loaded wagons may be seen carrying the fruit to the establishments. Besides the money paid the hands, thousands of dollars are paid the growers weekly. Two years ago the price offered for fruit, before the establishment of the cannery, ranged as low as $6 to $8 per ton. There was no money to the grower in this sort of thing, and thousands of tons of fruit wasted in the field. This year prices range from $22 50 to $30, and occasionally one hears of a grower asking for $35 and $37 50. Taken Up Estray.
