SHOWS THE WHITE FEATHER. In a Grapple with Pierotti. Relative to the Size of a Ditch. Crowther Moves to Refer the Matter to the Next Meeting. Saturday afternoon was the regular time for the meeting of the water board. All were present except Mr. Rea. Mr. Crowther looked about in an inquiring sort of way and asked: "Ain't Rea here?" Mr. Pierotti observed that he had seen him down on the street just a moment before. Secretary Blennerhassett (sententiously)—"Mr. Rea was in here for a moment this morning." In the archives of the Secretary's office lay Mr. Rea's resignation. While it was couched in the pleasantest terms, it is known that he entertains views considerably at variance with other members of the board relative to matters that some people think will soon make things pop in the company. Mr. Crowther, reporting for the ditch committee, asked for an extension of time in the Carpenter ditch and the grievance of Mrs. Tuffree relative to the drowning of some of her stock in the company's ditch running through her ranch. He said if he were forced to report on the Carpenter ditch at the present time he would report adversely: but if a little further time were given conditions might be modified to the end that he might play ball with the stockholders petitioning for it. Mr. Bradford said he understood that the horses which got into the ditch and could not get out were sick horses anyway. He was not favorably impressed with the demand of Mrs. Tuffree for damages against the company. Mr. Crowther said, referring again to the Carpenter ditch, he was opposed to the idea of building 700 feet of ditch to supply twelve shares of stock. Mr. Pierotti, as a compromise measure, moved that the ditch be constructed providing the petitioners pay half the cost of construction, and haul the gravel and cement and do the back filling. He said that a large amount of water was wasted in the present earthen ditch. On account of the small volume of water used in it, he thought the proposition made by him was the best the company could entertain. His recommendation was the ditches are in good condition for delivering water with as small a loss as possible under existing circumstances. Owing to the fact that we are suffering a great loss of water in the Cajon ditch by seepage, I recommend that such gates be placed in said ditch as will enable us to ascertain at what point our loss is greatest. Hence the cementing of the worst places first. I believe that by placing such gates or weirs every two miles would enable us to judge correctly. J. M. WOODWARD, Supt. Mr. Bradford was particularly taken with the measuring gates which the Superintendent recommended be put in on the main canal. These would show the amount of water lost. The volume lost must be considerable, and the company will probably this fall do quite a lot of cementing at that point. Mr. Crowther (carefully scanning the Superintendent's report)—Mr. Superintendent, I see an item here of 158 cement sacks returned. What was the matter with that cement? Mr. Cargill—Those were sacks—sacks, not cement. Mr. Chapman (to Mr. Crowther)—They were bags, not cement. Mr.Crowther never said a word. Continuing his scanning of the report, he asked the Superintendent: "How about these two gates for McDermont? Did McDermont pay for them?" On the Superintendent informing him that he had, Crowther continued, still scrutinizing the report with an eagle eye: "Where does this pipe come in?" and "Your bill for labor on the division gate seems to me to be rather excessive." Then he took off his spectacles, laid down the report and moved that it be received and filed. Mr. Bradford said he would like to know if anything was going to be done with the Ditch committee's recommendation at the last meeting that the gravel pit be uncovered so that gravel might be taken from it. Mr. Crowther—The gravel pit is in bad condition. People have used it indiscriminately— Mr. Bradford—When? Mr. Crowther (airily)—In days gone by. Mr. Bradford—Oh, well. They might have taken gravel years and years ago, but I don't think in the last three or four years. Mr. Crowther thought, however, that a limit should be placed upon outsiders helping themselves to gravel from the pit. undivided attention, as well as to the fact that I shall be absent from the city more or less of the time during the current year. Being therefore unable to give to the duties of the office the close attention which their importance deserves, I have regretfully determined to hand you my resignation, to the end that one with more time at his disposal to give to the important business of the company, and which is constantly placing new burdens upon the directors, may be chosen to fill the position which I reluctantly vacate. In severing my relations with this board, I beg to say that our intercourse has been ever pleasant, and to add that I am forced to take the step with sincere regret. Honing for the successful continuation of the company's work now in hand, as well as that my resignation may be speedily accepted, I am yours very truly, J. B. REA. Mr. Rea's resignation was laid upon the table, and no action taken upon it. Central Committee. The Republican County Central committee met on Saturday afternoon at Santa Ana, and selected Saturday, August 25, as the date of the county convention. The basis of representation at the primaries will be one delegate for every ten votes cast for the ticket at the last election. This will give the convention a membership of over 200. It was decided that Orange county should be represented at the State convention at Santa Cruz by one delegate from the First Supervisorial district, and two delegates from each of the other four districts in the county, making a total of nine delegates from the county. The primary election will be held on Saturday, August 14. The delegates to the State Convention will also act as delegates to the Seventh Congressional district Convention, both of which meet at Santa Cruz immediately after the meeting of the State Convention. The State Convention will nominate Presidential electors, the Congressional Convention will renominate Congressman Needham and the Senatorial Convention will nominate a candidate to succeed Senator T. J. Jones of this district. New Telephones. Contracts have been signed by the telephone company with J. B. Neff for two telephones at his place southwest of town; also for one each with Mrs. C. C. Browning, W. C. Eymann and F. W. Fleischman's stockyards northwest of town. It is said that the phones at Brooksburst subscribed for by persons doing Mr. Crowther said, referring again to the Carpenter ditch, he was opposed to the idea of building 700 feet of ditch to supply twelve shares of stock. Mr. Pierotti, as a compromise measure, moved that the ditch be constructed providing the petitioners pay half the cost of construction, and haul the gravel and cement and do the back filling. He said that a large amount of water was wasted in the present carthen ditch. On account of the small volume of water used in it, he thought the proposition made by him was the best the company could entertain. His recommendation was approved by the board. Mr. Pierotti—Mr. President, I would like to ask why Mr. Crowther, in recommending the construction of the ditch on Klokke's line, which was before this board at our last meeting, recommends that it be no less than 250 inches. Mr. Crowther—On the same basis, my dear sir, that you objected to my recommendation that the ditch on Commonwealth avenue have a capacity of 400 inches; and you cut it down to 250. Mr. Pierotti—This ditch is an extension of one of the capacity of 150 inches, and in my opinion your recommendation of 250 inches is altogether too high. Mr. Crowther—How about it if all the irrigators on the ditch want to irrigate at once? Mr. Pierotti however continued to maintain his objection to making the ditch of a greater capacity than that of which it was a continuation (the Nenno ditch). Mr. Crowther (breaking ground)—I move to amend to make the ditch the same size as Nenno's. Mr. Pierotti, still insisting upon his original proposition, declared the two ditches were dissimilar, with nothing in common between them. The ditch at Nenno's had been cemented because complaint had been made of a low place where water stood for a long time, becoming stagnant and being objected to by Nenno. A difference in the topography of the country, as well as the grade, made a relative comparison of the ditches impossible. Mr. Crowther—The difference in the cost of a ditch of 150 inches and one of 250 inches is small, but the increased satisfaction to the stockholders in the larger ditch more than compensates for the extra cost. Mr. Pierotti—All they ask for is a ditch of 150 inches capacity. Mr. Crowther—I won't vote for it. Mr. Pierotti insisted that the ditch be not larger than 150 inches. Mr. Crowther (showing the feather)—I move to defer this matter to the next meeting. In the meantime the Ditch committee can measure Nenno's ditch and see how large it is. Mr. Cargill came to the rescue, saying that the ditch had been ordered constructed, and he therefore moved that it be the same size as the Nenno ditch. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bradford and carried. Supt. Woodward stated after the meeting that the Nenno ditch had a capacity of about 200 inches. So it was "hoss and boss" with Crowter and Bradford—When? Mr. Crowther (airily)—In days gone by. Mr. Bradford—Oh, well. They might have taken gravel years and years ago, but I don't think in the last three or four years. Mr. Crowther thought, however, that a limit should be placed upon outsiders helping themselves to gravel from the pit. The sum of $150 was appropriated for uncovering the pit, and Superintendent Woodward was instructed to take up the work immediately. A. McDermont and L. B. Benchley appeared before the board in reference to the pipe line to be placed in the ditch on Commonwealth avenue, in front of the Presbyterian church in Fullerton. Mr. McDermont stated that the vitrified pipe which the company had been using for the past two years was too expensive for his congregation, and he asked that cement pipe, which he said, would cost half as much and be just as durable, be used instead. He had been in consultation with a cement pipe manufacturer at El Modena, who had made pipe for the Santa Ana Water company. Some of this pipe was in use today after a continuous service of seventeen years, and was just as good as new. This man offered to lay pipe for 75 cent per foot, while vitrified pipe cost over a dollar. He suggested, if these terms were approved by the board, that the brea pipe crossing Commonwealth avenue, and which was in an unsatisfactory condition, be taken up and replaced with cement pipe. Mr. Crowther, taking his pencil in hand, assumed a studious aspect, and began slowly putting his thoughts to paper. He had been listening to McDermont attentively. The board discussed Mr. McDermont's proposition, and voted that cement pipe be used in front of the church, and also to replace the brea pipe across Commonwealth avenue, both jobs to be done at the same time. Mr. McDermont, on arising with Mr. Benchley to go, said the El Modena man could not take hold of the job inside of six weeks, because he had to make the pipe and let it dry. He used to make pipe for the Santa Ana company, but now that company manufactures its own pipe. Mr. Bradford moved that the county be permitted to purchase cement from the company at cost for the purpose of constructing a bridge between Fullerton and Placentia. Mr. Crowther looking up from his writing, said he would second the motion, and it was carried unanimously. Mr. Crowther (looking up again after a moment's further writing)—Mr. President, I offer the following resolution: "That the Ditch committee be authorized to construct a 24-inch cement pipe in front of the Presbyterian church in Fullerton, 114 feet more or less, and to continue the same across Commonwealth avenue——" Mr. Chapman (softly)—We have already voted upon that resolution, Mr. Crowther. We voted upon it affirmatively, while you were writing. Mr. Crowther said "All right," smiled and tore up the resolution. Mr. Pierotti moved that the time limit for irrigating water be cut down to 20 minutes per share, but it was lost, all the other Directors voting against it. Mr. Bradford moved that measuring at last meeting that the gravel pit be uncovered so that gravel might be taken from it. Mr. Crowther—The gravel pit is in bad condition. People have used it discriminately— Mr. Bradford—When? Mr. Crowther (airily)—In days gone by. Mr. Bradford—Oh, well. They might have taken gravel years and years ago, but I don't think in the last three or four years. Mr. Crowther thought, however, that a limit should be placed upon outsiders helping themselves to gravel from the pit. The sum of $150 was appropriated for uncovering the pit, and Superintendent Woodward was instructed to take up the work immediately. A. McDermont and L. B. Benchley appeared before the board in reference to the pipe line to be placed in the ditch on Commonwealth avenue, in front of the Presbyterian church in Fullerton.

Contracts have been signed by the telephone company with J.B.Neff for two telephones at his place southwest of town; also for one each with Mrs.C.C.Brownning, W.C.Eymann and F.W.Fleischman's stockyards northwest of town. It is said that the phones at Brookshurst subscribed for by persons doing business in this city will now become attached to the local service. It is also given out that a revival of the effort to consolidate the systems in northern portion of Orange county; if made at this time will be favored by the telephone company. At the time of agitation of the consolidation last year, the company promised, while it did not approve of it then, that the subject would be taken up again at some time in the future and probably acted upon favorably. That time seems now to have arrived. There is a great desire on part of the oil well people to consolidate their lines with Anaheim, and it is known that Engineer Perris entertains strong views relative to the same. It is given out that a renewal of a request on part of telephone users in Anaheim circuit, that the systems in northern part of the county be consolidated into one system would be attended with success. Petitions with this end in view will it is said, soon be placed in circulation. United Workmen. A lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen was instituted at Odd Fellows' hall on Thursday evening. The following officers were elected and installed: W.O.F.Schwenckert, Past Master Workman; Herman Stern; Master Workman; Emil Turk; Foreman; Wm.H.Syne; Overseer; C.M.Lincoln; Guide; J.F.Ahlborn; Receiver; R.F.Zerman; Financialier; Walter M.Carver; Recorder; W.Bonkousky; Inside Watchman; Frank Dauner; Outside Watchman; Dr.Johnston; Medical Examiner. A special train overthe Southern Pacific brought some 65 members ofthe order from Los Angeles, as well as a number from Downey.Amongthe party were P.G.W.M.James Booth,Grand Foreman W.E.D.Morrison,Dr.Edelman Wm.Meek and others.An enjoyable collage was served afterthe installation,andat11:45the visiting delegations returnedto their homes.

In the meantime the Ditch committee can measure Nenno's ditch and see how large it is. Mr. Cargill came to the rescue, saying that the ditch had been ordered constructed, and he therefore moved that it be the same size as the Nenno ditch. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bradford and carried. Supt. Woodward stated after the meeting that the Nenno ditch had a capacity of about 200 inches. So it was "hoss and hoss" with Crowther and Plerotti after all. Supt. Woodward made the following monthly report: July 1st, 1900. To the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Co.—Gentlemen: My expenses for the month of June are as follows: Regular employees ... $450.00 To labor constructing 1830 ft. cement ditch on Commonwealth ave. $150.32 26 bbls.

Also dent, I offer the following resolution: "That the Ditch committee be authorized to construct a 24-inch cement pipe in front of the Presbyterian church in Fullerton, 114 feet more or less, and to continue the same across Commonwealth avenue—" Mr. Chapman (softly)—We have already voted upon that resolution, Mr. Crowther. We voted upon it affirmatively, while you were writing. Mr. Crowther said "All right," smiled and tore up the resolution. Mr. Pierotti moved that the time limit for irrigating water be cut down to 20 minutes per share, but it was lost, all the other Directors voting against it. Mr. Bradford moved that measuring gates be put in along the main ditch. Mr. Cargill—Has the Superintendent any suggestion to make regarding where these gates ought to be placed? Who is going to take these measurements? There was no answer. Mr. Cargill—Mr. President, the board went up the ditch the other day to investigate matters. Now what are you going to do? Mr. Crowther directed the attention of the board to plans and specifications made by Engineer Lum for the shortening of the ditch between the Yorba cemetery and Flume 4, where a number of rattlesnake curves, as he termed them, could be cut out, the ditch shortened 700 feet, and a gain made of 7 inches in the grade. Mr. Pierotti here called Mr. Crowther's attention to the fact that his glasses were on upside down. Me' Crowther (taking them off and righting them)—All right! I have been upside down myself several times of late. Mr. Lum's estimates for the shortening of the ditch at this point embraced two routes, one costing $3611, the other $2408. The board, after discussing the matter at some length, instructed Engineer Sherwood to resurvey the route, to the end that bids for the work may be asked for. Mr. Bradford again brought up the matter of the measuring gates for the main canal, but the Duke of Durkeeville suggested that no action be taken, and the Superintendent's suggestion went by the board. The board here side-stepped into an executive session. Mr. Rea's letter of resignation was read as follows: ANAHEIM, July 6, 1900. To the Board of Directors of the A.U.W.Co.-Gentlemen: I beg herewith to tender my resignation as a member of this body. I am impelled to this course only upon the ground of pressing private affairs, which demand my California Water and Forest association is planning a most vigorous campaign looking to a large enrollment all over the State. The work will be pushed through the summer and autumn with a view to bringing a strong public sentiment to the support of the State policy which is expected to be outlined at the November convention, and presented later to the Governor and Legislature. To this end a corps of canvassers is being organized throughout the State, and citizens will be called upon to enroll their names and prepare to lend their assistance to this great undertaking, which looks to save our waste waters in the interest of irrigation, navigation and mining, and the proper care of our forests. H.W.Gilmour has been selected by the committee to manage the practical details of the canvass and has begun active work. Invitations have been sent to many students of the colleges to join in the work of building up their membership of the association. It is believed that they will welcome chance to engage in a public work of much importance, and that it will be worth much to the future citizenship of the State to have this class of intelligent young people interested in this cause. It is likely that public meetings will be held in leading cities and towns to bring the subject before the people California must put herself in readiness to take care of her future millions and the proper handling of the waste waters will be the foundation of this work. Local Dots. A postoffice has been established in Smeltzer, this county, with Daniel L Smeltzer as postmaster. A divorce has been granted by the Superior court to Mrs. Lizzie St. Peter of Santa Ana from Thomas St. Peter of the ground of cruelty and failure to provide a divorce was also granted by Mrs C.Plotner from Laura P.Plotner of the grounds of desertion. The supervisors have formed a new voting precinct in La Habra Valley, be known as La Habra prietect. Harris & Falkenstein have rented the Kellogg warehouse at West Anheim, and will use it for storage of produce and shipping. They are doing quite a shipping business, and are able to handle anything in the line of produce. To Rent. Mrs.Frohling's house, opposing waterworks.

This will give the membership of over 200 members that Orange county represented at the State convention Cruz by one delegate first Supervisorial district. Regulates from each of the districts in the county, making nine delegates from the county election will be held on August 14.

The petition asking the Postoffice Department for the establishment of free rural mail delivery here awaits but the preparation of the blue print map, designating its boundaries, which is now being prepared by County Surveyor Finley, to be speeding on its way to Washington, with the assurance of a favorable recommendation upon it by Congressman Needham. Mr. Finley is now at work upon the map, and probably it will be completed in time to be sent forward this week. The signatures of upward of 100 farmers have been secured to a petition asking for the formation of such district. Not a single resident in all the country embraced within the district opposed its formation; on the contrary, quite the reverse. All were warmly in favor of it. Some were not at the time ready to sign, the expense of $3.50 for a mail box being an obstacle, temporarily. Three years of drought have not conducted to any great degree of affluence on the part of the California farmers; but rain will come again, and the horticulturist be in clover. It is believed that when the beneficent results of the establishment of the service are realized by those who have not yet signed, they will at once apply for the service. Others wanted a little further time to think it over, and a few were disinclined to sign because they had already signed a petition asking for the establishment of a postoffice at West Anaheim. Thereupon the following protest to the establishment of a postoffice at West Anaheim was immediately placed in circulation and signed by practically the entire community: We, the undersigned citizens of Anaheim and vicinity, patrons of Anaheim postoffice, desire to enter our protest against the establishment of a postoffice at or near Loara station (better known as West Anaheim) on the ground that no good and sufficient reason exists for the maintenance of a postoffice at that point. The proposed site is less than one and one half miles from Anaheim, and only about three miles from Clair. We further object for the reason that we expect rural delivery service will soon be inaugurated to fully cover all the territory that would be tributary to the new postoffice as applied for. The improbability of the establish- METERS FOR LIVERY STABLES City Trustees of Opinion That Not Enough Is Paid for Water Used by Them. At the meeting of the City Trustees on Tuesday evening Trustee Schwenckert reported that an inspection of the financial accounts of the city revealed the fact that the two livery stables in town were being charged a remarkably low rate for city water used by them. One was charged $1.40 per month, and the other $2. Many private families, he said, with only two or three members, pay as much as this, and he considered the rate too ridiculously low to continue. He suggested that either a special rate be made for stables, or else that meters be installed and meter rates charged. The board viewed the matter in similar light, and on motion of Trustee Schneider, seconded by Trustee Schwenckert, the City Marshal was authorized to procure two water meters and install them at the stables, to the end that an impartial rate for use of city water may be imposed. Trustee Helmsen said: "While upon this subject of low rates for water, how about the cannery?" Trustee Weisel was of opinion that no change ought to be made in the rate paid by the cannery ($12.50 per month) so long as the proprietor of the cannery was satisfied. Trustee Helmsen — Haven't you doubled the size of the cannery? Trustee Weisel—We have doubled the capacity, but will not put up more fruit than last season. Trustee Schwenckert asked if it was not a fact that more water was being used by the cannery than last year. Trustee Weisel thought not. He was of the opinion that, on account of the resultant good to the community from the operation of the cannery, no increase should be made in the rate. However, he said he was willing to pay what would be considered a fair rate. Trustee Helmsen stated that if the cannery used a larger volume of water than when the rate at present in force was fixed for it, it should pay a higher rate, along with other water consumers. Trustee Dickel thought this year would be a bad one for canneries. Trustee Weisel said the Santa Ana cannery got a bonus of $8000, went into the trust, and is now closed. "As soon as it gets hold of this one," he added, your water works, I was on March 15th authorized to proceed with the work or restoring them to efficient service under the new conditions. This has been accomplished without mishap of any kind, and that you may have a record of the work I offer this report: The old pump pit with its wells furnished a copious temporary supply of water at the cost of two pumpings. An examination of this old pit disclosed such signs of strained timbers that did not feel warranted in placing either the temporary supply apparatus or workmen, at risk therein, until proper system of support was applied. This done, it served the purpose well. The ejector (moved for the purpose from the new pit) raised the water to redwood tank that rested on the bottom of the pit whence the small pump moved it up to the storage tanks. The small pump was removed from the new pit and temporarily installed for their secondary pumping. After this system had been fully tested, by use, for a sufficient length of time to ensure its efficiency, the large pump and all connecting steam pipes, exhaust pipes and water pipes were removed from their main pit, and the somewhat tedious task of removing the cement bottom commenced. As appliances for such work could not be found in Los Angeles, and the job not of sufficient magnitude to justify much construction, such tools and apparatus as could be made here were applied and served thereto. It so happened that the try hole pit was placed in cement bottom did not reveal its general character at all. In fact, had no general character, so far thickness, strength of material, etc., was concerned, but was apparently true result of a misguided and despairful effort to get a hole filled up, regardless of plans to connect the bottom to their sides, etc. The bottom broken up, excavation was carried on through very solidly piled, very slightly moist, clean, unformly grained sand to a point where underpinning of the cement walls are cribbling to protect the brickwork and work became necessary. Brick work was then placed and excavation continued until earth water reached at a point 191 feet below top of the old bottom, the brickwork carried up to meet first stepdown. This done, the inverted arch bottle was placed, thoroughly keyed to allow under the vertical walls at the water level, the extrados of the arch below entirely under water, and the bottomthe pump drainage sump five feet below present standing water levels. The invert is laid with first, 6 inches of one to two concrete; then about inches of one to four, all regular spread and thoroughly rammed place; as should the surface, or ear water, ever return to eventhe topthe new work,the total hydrostatic force operating to upliftthe bottle would be very great,viz: 157 tons. New Teachers. The School Trustees organized on Saturday evening by electing T. A. Darling President of the board and J. H. Clabaugh Secretary. The following teachers were assigned to the various departments of the city school: Central—F. E. Little, principal; Miss Carrie E. Roberts, assistant; Miss Mary E. Rector, Miss Adela Mosseman, Miss Lillian M. Bowland, Miss Jennie Burton. West Anaheim—Richard N. Bird, principal; Mrs. Hattie A. Spencer, Miss Rosa A. Darby. Katella—Miss Addie Wallop. F. G. Athearn was selected principal of the high school. The other high school students were selected later. We, the undersigned citizens of Anaheim and vicinity, patrons of Anaheim postoffice, desire to enter our protest against the establishment of a postoffice at or near Loaara station (better known as West Anaheim) on the ground that no good and sufficient reason exists for the maintenance of a postoffice at that point. The proposed site is less than one and one half miles from Anaheim, and only about three miles from Clair. We further object for the reason that we expect rural delivery service will soon be inaugurated to fully cover all the territory that would be tributary to the new postoffice as applied for. The improbability of the establishment of a postoffice at West Anaheim must be apparent in the fact that the laws governing the establishment of new postoffices provide explicitly that no office shall be established within two miles of another. Inasmuch as the site proposed for the office at West Anaheim (Mercereau's store) is scarcely a quarter of a mile from the western limits of this city, and may at some future time be included within the municipal boundaries of this city; that it is not two miles from the postoffice in town, and that it is within three miles of Clair postoffice on the west, it is questionable whether the PostOffice Department will see its way clear to tailor a unnecessary postoffice to a cross-roads country store. However, only a few of the residents of West Anaheim, so far as can be learned, have asked for the establishment of an office at Mercereau's, and all who have been interviewed are free to state that they much prefer the rural mail delivery route, and a number have revoked their signatures to the Mercereau petition. The Postoffice Department at Washington is taking on earnestly the inauguration of free rural delivery. The Farmers' club of this city have been talking about this thing for a year. It is the purpose of the Postoffice Department not to establish new postoffices in rural districts, but to create free rural delivery districts wherever practicable. It is the purpose of the department to deliver the mail free to residents of the rural districts, precisely as mail is delivered free to people in the cities. Why should not farmers in thickly settled up districts have their mail delivered to them free of cost, as well as urban residents? The country people help support the free delivery of mails in cities; why not reap a part of this benefit themselves? A letter has been received from Congressman Needham, approving of the district. As soon as the blue print map is made the petition will be forwarded to headquarters. Meantime all those desirous of joining in the district, should attach their signatures to the petition in circulation. Frank Eastman has it. New Teachers. The School Trustees organized on Saturday evening by electing T. A. Darling President of the board and J. H. Clabaugh Secretary. The following teachers were assigned to the various departments of the city school: Central—F. E. Little, principal; Miss Carrie E. Roberts, assistant; Miss Mary E. Rector, Miss Adela Mosseman, Miss Lillian M. Bowland, Miss Jennie Burton. West Anaheim—Richard N. Bird, principal; Mrs. Hattie A. Spencer, Miss Rosa A. Darby. Katella—Miss Addie Wallop. F. G. Athearn was selected principal of the high school. The other high school students were selected later. Trustee Dickel brought up the matter of the salary of City Electrician Lewis, which was fixed a year ago at $75 per month. Lewis took the place of J. H. Byers, who received $80. His year was up, and Trustee Dickel was of opinion his salary should be raised $5. Trustee Schwenckert thought that if Lewis' salary should be raised $5, that of his understudy, A. Schneider, who receives $60, should also be raised by the same amount. He did not think there should be so much difference in the operation of the cannery, no increase should be made in the rate. However, he said he was willing to pay what would be considered a fair rate. Trustee Helmsen stated that if the cannery used a larger volume of water than when the rate at present in force was fixed for it, it should pay a higher rate, along with the other water consumers. Trustee Dickel thought this year would be a bad one for canneries. Trustee Weisel said the Santa Ana cannery got a bonus of $8000, went into the trust, and is now closed. "As soon as it gets hold of this one," he added, "it will be closed, too." The matter of an increased water rate was dropped. Deputy Marshal Bentz reported the following collections: For water, $207.60; for caries, $269.55; for licenses, $156.85; total, $$634; less 5 per cent commission for collection, $31.69; deposited with Treasurer, $602.31. Delinquents reported: Water, $17.05; lights, $1.55; license, $2.50; total, $20.10. Delinquents collected: Water, $20.35. Treasurer Cahen reported the following funds in hand: General fund, $745.92; Improvement fund No. 1, $1124.08; No. 2, $2.46; No. 3, $34.77; total $1907.23. Clerk Merritt's financial report tallied with the Treasurer's figures. Trustee Schwenckert, reporting for the Finance committee, said that too many delinquents were reported for use of the public utilities. Thus, he said, one water user was delinquent in $9 for water; one firm in town欠 license for two months, and were delinquent two months for water. One organization owed $11.84 for electric lights, and soon. He thought the Marshal should hold a tighter rein on these delinquents,and collect up more closely. If business men could not pay their license, he thought they had better close up shop. Trustee Schneider, for the Public Improvements committee, reported the repair of the culvert on Broadway; the ditch across Atchison street had been filled up nicely after irrigating water had been run through it, and the engineers at the power house had cleaned the boilers of scale. Trustee Dickel was granted further time in reporting the various ordinances proposed at the last meeting. The Clerk read correspondence passing between him and the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance company, relative to the boilers at the city power house, which had been cleaned of scale and were now in first-class condition. Contracts for oil and city printing were signed. Trustee Dickel brought up the matter of the salary of City Electrician Lewis, which was fixed a year ago at $75 per month. Lewis took the place of J. H. Byers, who received $80. His year was up, and Trustee Dickel was of opinion his salary should be raised $5.

John Schauman died at his home on Claudina street yesterday morning at 8:30. He succumbed to tuberculosis of the throat, and had been sinking for some weeks. His death is regretted by a host of warm friends, who deplore his taking off in the years of his young manhood. He was aged 38 years. He had been a resident of this city for sixteen years, and was widely known throughout the county for his many upright qualities. The funeral will be held this (Thursday) afternoon, at 2 o'clock, from the Catholic church. Off for Chicago. Joseph S. Hatfield is getting up a party of excursionists to go East on the G. A. R. excursion. August 21st. The rate will be $72.50 for the round trip to Chicago. Already the following have signed to go: Joseph S. Hatfield and wife, G. H. Hatfield and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Brunworth and two children, William Berdrow and Mr. Jordan. Their destinations are different points in the East. A number of others have promised to accompany the party. Tickets will be good for sixty days. Parties contemplating going East about this time should call upon or address Mr. Hatfield regarding accommodations. The route going will be over the Denver and Rio Grande and Rock Island routes. If a party of 20 is secured, a car will be run into Anaheim, and berths secured here. In that event the car will leave from and return to this point. Contracts for oil and city printing were signed.

His year was up, and Trustee Dickel was of opinion his salary should be raised $5. Trustee Schwenckert thought that if Lewis’ salary should be raised $5, that of his understudy, A. Schneider, who receives $60, should also be raised by the same amount. He did not think there should be so much difference in the salaries of the two men employed at the power house. Their responsibilities were about the same, and if one was raised, both ought to be raised. The board seemed to be of this opinion also—that if the salary of one was raised, that of the other should be also. So they raised neither. Mr. Dickel said that when next the Superintendent of Streets is about to place gravel on a new street, the proprieties would indicate that he confer with the Committee on Public improvements. Thus the gravel which had been placed on the street back of Prof. Hussman’s, running from Los Angeles to Lemon, might better have been placed on a street which had a heavier traffic. The board agreed, and the Street Superintendent was so notified. Deputy Marshal Bentz reported that Charley Norman was getting water from the city to sprinkle the county road. Trustee Dickel stated he had given Norman permission so to do. A bill was ordered sent to the county for the amount of water used. The Deputy Marshal also reported that Signor Ramella wanted connection with the city water main for his residence on Los Angeles street. Bills to the sum of $1125.02 were audited and ordered paid. The following communication from Mr. Fay, relative to the work of deepening the pump pit at the water works, was read: To the Honorable, the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim—Gentlemen: The continuous recession of the water plane in this district having materially impaired the efficiency of class condition.
