COL. TUFFREE REGISTERS ANOTHER KICK Objects to Changing Line of Ditch Emptying Into Reservoir From His Land to Another Location. When the water board was called to order on Saturday afternoon Secretary Krick made things interesting by reading the following warm letter from Col. Tuffree: To the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Co.—This is to enter a protest against any alteration in the ditch approaching reservoir, or the exit of the ditch from said reservoir, without arranging an agreement with the undersigned; also protesting against further work being done on main ditch west of reservoir, without supervision of a competent engineer. Would suggest C. T. Healy as such engineer. J. K. Tuffree. Mr. Crowther—I thought the olive branch of peace had passed between the company and Tuffree. Mr. Pierotti (to Sherwood)—Why doesn't he suggest you? Mr. Sherwood—I guess he doesn’t think I’m a competent engineer. It appeared that Tuffree’s objection to a change in the ditch emptying into the reservoir was that the same is being taken from a point on his ranch and placed on land of the Stearns Rancho company, for which right-of-way has been procured. Col. Tuffree’s letter was filed, but the board showed no disposition to hearken to his protest. M. Anderson wrote protesting against the change in the location of the company’s ditch—running across his land at Placentia. It developed that complaint was due to the fact that six walnut trees were destroyed by the line of the ditch. Pierotti said he had been present at the site of the ditch the day before, and Anderson was perfectly willing to have it constructed, having been assured payment would be made for all trees destroyed. Since then Tuffree had, he thought, induced Anderson to enter the protest; but he recommended that work be continued. The board decided to make payment for destroyed trees, and to go on with the work as if nothing had happened. Anderson owns two shares of stock. A. W. Danforth appeared before the board relative to the placing of a bridge over company’s ditch in Miles tract. Improvements are about to begin. To this he protested as being contrary to the agreement entered into between Mrs. Bixby and the company. He would therefore hold the company liable for all damages resulting from such flushing. The board instructed the secretary to write Mr. Chapman, informing him that he had understood the situation imperfectly. In fact, the company was not about to flush its ditch and would not discharge debris upon Mrs. Bixby’s land. Moreover, it would keep constantly in view its agreement with that lady, and would under no condition do anything to injure her land. W. F. McClintock wrote calling the board’s attention to the irrigating ditch running through the Elwood ranch east of town, which angles off, leaving a free zone which is difficult to handle, the same being covered with brush. Referred to Mr. Smith. Petitions for transfers of stock were granted as follows: G. W. Sherwood to E. R. Amerige, 10 shares; W. H. Blennnerhassett to H. S. Russell, 10 shares; same to J. J. Hunter, 5 shares; Nick Hugo to Paul Kluss, 1. Crowther reported that Mr. Chapman had received a leased lot at Perris of the Santa Fe, relative to volume of water used by the oil wells Instead of a continuous flow, as at present, Perris desires to purchase water by the inch measurement, as may be required at the wells. Present contract continues until December 31st. An invitation from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company was received requesting the board to accompany it on an inspection to lands and works up the river. The same was accepted, and both boards will go up today (Thursday.) They go as far as Durkee’s, and will inspect new work now under construction at Horseshoe Bend. The board made stockholders a Christmas present in the shape of a $2 assessment. Pierotti reported that cementing of ditch on Tuffree’s east line had been finished, and that men were now at work upon ditch connecting with reservoir. Sherwood reported progress on investigating pumping plant. Potter Rode the Goat. Supervisor Potter’s friends gathered in town by the dozen on Monday evening to witness his performance upon the Masonic goat. They came from Santa Ana, Buena Park and every- The board decided to make payment for destroyed trees, and to go on with the work as if nothing had happened. Anderson owns two shares of stock. A. W. Danforth appeared before the board relative to the placing of a bridge over company's ditch in Miles tract. Improvements are about to be made, and a new bridge was necessary.

The goat was in good condition, having been out to pasture in an adjoining field filled with oyster cans and sich fodder. Potter is now in the second degree, and it’s Walker’s turn next.

Trustee Schneider of the Committee on Public Improvements reported the laying of 300 feet of pipe to Mrs.Saunders’ residence; also water connections made for Don Bustamente.New tires had been placed upon city wagon.Relative to tank frame which had been reported to be decaying, he said it was not worth repairing.Its a poor frame.Pehaps its tank could be placed upon the other frame, along with its tank; but if not, he favored building a steel frame. What's the matter of discarding the dangerous tank system and putting in a steel standpipe? Trustee Weisel reported the examination of officers’ reports finding the same correct, and auditing bills against city in amount of $3368.09.Included in this amount is $2049 for new city boiler.A bill of $79.68, from the Victor Hall Oil company, was not allowed, for the reason that the city has just made a contract for oil with C.E.Lapp who presumably turned the order over to Hall.As the oil did not come up to the standard of 16 gravity, being only 154,and containing also a quantity of water and other deleterious substances,the claim was disallowed,and Clerk Merritt authorized to write to Lapp saying the city perferred to deal with him instead of other parties,with whom they have no contract. Marshal Steadman reported following collections for November:For water,$224;licensees,$168.75; electric lights,$379.45;total,$772.20;less per cent for commission.$38.61; deposited with treasurer,$733.59.Delinquents collected—water,$28.05;light,$5.35;total,$33.40.Delinquents reported—water,$20.35;license,$1.25;lights,$32.25;total,$53.85.

The clerk read a communication from a Chicago drug and chemical house,saying samples of city water had been received and would be analyzed;that a charge of $10 is usually made for such analysis,但if their boiler compound were purchased，charge for analysis would be cut out. The clerk，who is a great hand to read to the board all and sundry communications received,began reading a voluminous mass of correspondence from the Chicago house，which gave reasons for making the $10 charge,and also why it was cut out to its customers.Hew was about to read a lengthy pricelist，when his Honor interrupted him.

HOT TEA BISCUIT Royal Baking Powder Perfect, Delicious, Appetizing. The clerk, who is a great hand to read to the board all and sundry communications received, began reading a voluminous mass of correspondence from the Chicago house, which gave reasons for making the $10 charge, and also why it was cut out to its customers. He was about to read a lengthy pricelist, when his Honor interrupted him. Trustee Helmsen, with an exceedingly long face—Is it necessary to have all this stuff read? The board thought not, and the correspondence went into the waste basket. Weisel reported that Engineer Lewis had been instructed to purchase three different patterns of arc lamps, together with three transformers, the same to be tried upon the streets, and an order placed with the company furnishing the best light. The clerk read a communication from the Hartford Company endorsing the new boiler installed by Parke & Lacy, which had been favorably reported upon by the engineer at the power-house. The same was thereupon, on motion of Dickel, seconded by Schneider, accepted, and a warrant ordered issued in favor of contractors in amount of $2049. Samples of pipe covering were submitted, together with prices. The clerk was authorized to place an order with a Los Angeles house for a quantity of the same.

Having been assured by the board that his application would be granted he had leased a building on Center street and was now having it refurnished and refitted throughout. On motion of Dickel, seconded by Schneider, the application was unanimously granted. Bills to the amount of $3,368.09 were audited and ordered paid.

He reports the creamery company handling 24,000 pounds of milk daily. One day last week three carloads of canned goods were shipped to market. The company has recently put its can-making machinery in operation again. Failure to receive tin, on account of the strike, made it necessary to purchase cans already made. Orders had been placed in Pittsburg for seven carloads of tin when the strike came on, and only two could be delivered. The other day a shipment of tin was received, and can-making is now again in progress. Extensive improvements have been made during the year. The creamery gives employment to 37 people, and the payroll amounts to about $14,000 per month. Broke His Leg. On Monday morning Carl Klose, aged 71, an old-time resident of Anaheim, met with a serious accident at the home of Ed. Kramer at Placentia. He fell from a ladder while picking oranges and broke his right leg above the knee. Dr. Johnston was called and attended the patient, and later he was removed to the home of Mrs. Hatfield, where he will remain until her sanitarium and hospital is ready for occupancy. This is Mr. Klose's second serious accident. Some years ago he had the same leg broken at the knee. HOLD-UPS AND SUCH. Oscar Warling drove a tourist from this city to Los Angeles one afternoon last week. When in the neighborhood of Whittier about dark he noticed two men ahead in the road whose actions seemed to him to be suspicious. Knowing that one or two hold-ups by tramps had been recently reported, he produced his revolver, which is a small-sized pattern of a gatling gun, and, holding the reins in one hand, leveled the fowling-piece directly ahead in the other, in full view of the gentlemen in the road. They stepped outside as the vehicle and gun drew up to them, and Oscar passed on with his freight unmolested. Some days ago a Santa Ana man driving to this city was held up by two tramps at the bridge and relieved of PLacentia. John Evans, who has been dangerously ill for some time, is improving rapidly.
