MEETING OF TAXPAYERS ENDORSES SCHOOL BONDS Rapidly Growing Population Demands Additional Room for School Children—Bond Election on July 8th. A meeting of citizens and taxpayers was held at the Central grammar school on Monday evening for the purpose of formulating measures for the accommodation of the city's rapidly growing number of school children. The meeting unanimously resolved that a four-room building for primary grades was absolutely necessary, and authorized the school trustees to call an election for voting bonds in $10,000 for erection of such building. A number of those present suggested that the amount of bonds be placed at $20,000, or even higher, to the end that a larger edifice be constructed, but on the showing of the trustees that a four-room building for primary grades would best subserve the interest of the schools at this time, the meeting resolved to fix the bonds in the sum of $10,000. Mr. Maxwell, president of the board of school trustees, called the meeting to order and stated its object. He referred to the recent failure of the district to vote bonds for the erection of an additional school building. At that time, he said, the trustees, in a published statement to taxpayers, endeavored to explain why it was necessary to provide more school room. The trustees were of opinion that the issuance of bonds was the correct solution of the problem; the voters were of different opinion. Now, he said, tell us what you want. The hands of the trustees are virtually tied. Our schools are filled to overflowing. If the people have a solution of the problem the trustees would be glad to hear of it. This was the purpose of the meeting, and after the election of a chairman and secretary, he said, further data would be laid before the meeting. Judge Howard was elected chairman of the meeting and H. A. Dickel secreteachers in the grammar and lower grades. This year's school census gives us eleven teachers. Most committees employ one additional teacher to be available for the usual increase of population. Anaheim has grown wonderfully during the past year, and he thought would continue so to grow in the future. No teacher should have more than 30 to 35 pupils. That is the number for best results. Good work could not be expected of teachers who have 90 children to look after. Anaheim will have three additional teachers next year. Where are you going to put them? That is out of the question. The plan does not work well. That had been his experience. Half-day sessions are unsuccessful. Anaheim is entitled to something better. What is needed is another school building. Santa Ana is erecting a new eight-room building at an outlay of $14,000. The figures were considered low. There had been keen competition. He thought Anaheim should go in for a four-room primary. A. L. Lewis spoke in reference to the statement made at the recent bond election, that $10,000 was too much for a four-room building. According to Prof. Nichols, Santa Ana is paying $14,000 for an eight-room building, and that price was considered cheap. Of the $10,000 proposed to be used in this city, $2000 was for a site and furnishings. He considered $8000 a reasonable amount for a four-room building, and cited the cost of Santa Ana's new school as bearing him out in his contention. Judge Howard said bonds were defeated at the recent election because voters did not understand the situation. They did not understand the necessity for separating the smaller children from the larger, and opposed construction of a four-room building. He thought bonds would carry if another election were called, but that work would have to be done at the polls. After a further discussion F. C. Spencer moved it be the sense of the meeting that the trustees call an election to vote bonds in the amount of $10,000 for the erection of a four room building. H. A. Dickel moved to amend, by leaving the amount to the judgment of the school trustees. LARGER BOND ISSUE DESIRED BY TAXPAYERS Number of Property-Owners Favored $25,000 for New Schoolhouse — Will Oppose a Lower Issue. On Tuesday afternoon when news of the previous evening's meeting at the schoolhouse became generally known about town, some objection to a bond issue of $10,000 was heard on the page of heavy taxpayers and influential citizens. They object to anything less than $20,000 for the new schoolhouse; some even going so far as to say that favored a $30,000 issue instead of $10,000. Those who favor the lesser amount agreed after numerous conferences await action until another meeting, or next Monday evening, when those facing the larger outlay are expected to be present and present their side of the case. "Look at our high school," said one of the objectors, "absolutely a standing joke on the city. I get cold chill every time I pass the building. It costs $12,500, and after three years use is too small for the pupils desiring admission. Bonds should have been issued in $25,000 or even $30,000 for it, and a fine two-story building put up, instead of the present one-story affair. This town does not want to repeat that experience. I am against a $10,000 bond issue. What's the use of putting up a school building which we know we are going to outgrow in two or three years? I say vote bonds to the amount of at least $20,000 or $25,000 and put up decent building." This sort of talk is heard in several quarters, and concessions have been made by those who favor the smaller amount to the extent of deferring action for a week. On next Monday evening at the schoolhouse the subject will be thoroughly threshed out in all its aspects. provide more school room. The trustees were of opinion that the issuance of bonds was the correct solution of the problem; the voters were of different opinion. Now, he said, tell us what you want. The hands of the trustees are virtually tied. Our schools are filled to overflowing. If the people thive a solution of the problem the trustees would be glad to hear of it. This was the purpose of the meeting, and after the election of a chairman and secretary, he said, further data would be laid before the meeting. Judge Howard was elected chairman of the meeting and H. A. Dickel secretary. Arthur Lewis, clerk of the school board, presented an array of facts and figures concerning the crowded condition of the schools which showed the necessity for immediately furnishing new room for the constantly growing number of school children. In the grammar school, he said, there were 411 pupils, the first grade having as many as 90 pupils. With the usual increase next term the grades would be enlarged to greater proportions. Seventy-eight new families had moved into the district this year, increasing the school population by 125 children. Add to this number of children those who will probably demand accommodation the coming year, and a tolerably fair idea may be gained of the condition of the schools. The Central grammar school has eight rooms and nine teachers. Next term the school will be entitled to two new teachers, and perhaps three. Where will they be placed and what is to be done with the children? Since Christmas, he added, fifteen children have been refused admittance to the school. Half-day-sessions were not a success. W. S. Tipton asked for information regarding half-day-sessions, and was informed by Miss Roberts and other teachers that the plan was not a success. There were too many children in the classes, and teachers could not do satisfactory work with twice and three times the number they ought to teach. Dr. Johnston was of opinion the recent bond issue was defeated because voters did not understand the situation. More school room is needed at the present time, and if the community keeps on growing additional room will be necessary in the future. He gave some interesting figures tending to show the increase in this school district, as compared with other places. Riverside county, with 5000 school children, increased last year 177; Santa Ana, with 2400, increased 107; Anaheim, with 700 children, had gained an even 100. W. S. Tipton argued in support of the erection of a good substantial brick building, and favored a larger bond issue, say $20,000. Miss Roberts said in answer to questions that 30 to 35 pupils should be the limit given to each teacher. At the Central grammar school the first grade contains 90, and this she considered too many if successful work is desired of the teacher. Mr. Maxwell said that indications voters did not understand the necessity for separating the smaller children from the larger, and opposed construction of a four-room building. He thought bonds would carry if another election were called, but that work would have to be done at the polls. After a further discussion F. C. Spencer moved it be the sense of the meeting that the trustees call an election to vote bonds in the amount of $10,000 for the erection of a four room building. H. A. Dickel moved to amend, by leaving the amount to the judgment of the school trustees. W. S. Tipton moved a substitute that the amount be $25,000. There was no second for the substitute. The amendment was lost, and then the meeting voted unanimously in favor of the original motion. On motion of Mr. Grim another meeting was called for next Monday evening at the same place to further consider the subject. On motion of W. S. Tipton the following committee was named to secure a large attendance of voters at the meeting: H. A. Dickel, chairman; W. S. Tipton, F.C. Spencer, C.F. Grim, C.H. Bissell, J.H. Clabaugh, C.O. Rust. Dr. Johnston, Henry Kuchel, Fred Rimpau. Mr. Maxwell said the meeting was very gratifying to him. Frankly he said, he was greatly disappointed at the result of the last bond election. He did not understand what prompted that vote. Now he knew. The people did not understand. He referred at length to the needs of the primary pupils, who he said were entitled to and should receive the very best school facilities the city is capable of. The speaker was heartily applauded. Mr. Maxwell caused a laugh when he stated further that there was absolutely no "graft" with bond issue—honest, there was not, he said. The argument had been made in the last bond campaign that a direct tax be voted for several years and the amount used for a new school house. Why do not these people read school law? Don't they know that the law provides that all moneys derived from direct taxes must be used the same year? They cannot be carried over to the ensuing year, and if they are so carried over and another tax is levied, the moneys collected from the first year's taxes must be refunded to the tax payers. Let these people who talk so much about direct taxes read up the law and see where they stand before advising voters what to do. A vote of thanks was unanimously tendered the trustees and teachers for their efficient work during the past school term. The meeting adjourned to assemble again at the Central school house next Monday evening. Committee Meets This Evening. Chairman Dickel of the Committee of Ten has called a meeting for this evening at 8 o'clock, to assemble at the Cenvators did not understand the situation.

W. S. Tipton argued in support of the erection of a good substantial brick building, and favored a larger bond issue, say $20,000. Miss Roberts said in answer to questions that 30 to 35 pupils should be the limit given to each teacher. At the Central grammar school the first grade contains 90, and this she considered too many if successful work is desired of the teacher. Mr. Maxwell said indications point to the fact that two and probably three teachers will be needed next year. The school board had decided, at the time of the recent vote on bonds, to erect a four-room building for primary grades. The little children, he said, should be kept apart from larger pupils. This was the object of the board in advising the erection of a four-room structure. He spoke feelingly of the little boys and girls starting to school for the first time, saying their future course depended largely upon this, and added that whatever they needed should be given unhesitatingly by the people. He could not get away from the little children. He wanted a substantial structure for them, with flower gardens and lawns for them to play upon. The trustees wanted to know what the tax payers thought about these things, and he urged a full and complete discussion of the subject. Mr. Dickel said emphatically that that district needed was a new schoolhouse. He was of opinion a vote on bonds would carry. A number of voters had made the statement that the reason for voting against bonds at the recent election was because the amount was not enough. They said they favored $25,000 instead of $10,000. I should like to see it put to a test this time and see if these people are as good as their word. J. H. Clabaugh said he thought the season the recent bond election failed because voters did not understand the situation. He referred to the overrowded condition of the schools, adding that no teacher should have more than 40 pupils. He considered the proper thing to do now was to go ahead and erect a new school building. C. F. Grim favored the erection of a 10,000 four-room building for the primary grades. Prof. Nichols, county school superintendent, said that Anaheim has nine taxes read up the law and see where they stand before advising voters what to do. A vote of thanks was unanimously tendered the trustees and teachers for their efficient work during the past school term. The meeting adjourned to assemble again at the Central school house next Monday evening. Committee Meets This Evening. Chairman Dickel of the Committee of Ten has called a meeting for this evening at 8 o'clock, to assemble at the Central school. All members are asked to attend. Catholics Attention.

Persons that can rarely or never make it in honesty to themselves are among the most fortunate. They do not live, but exist; for to live implies more than to be. To live is to be well and strong—to arise feeling equal to the ordinary duties of the day—to feel life bounding in the veins. A medicine that has made thousands of people, men and women, well and strong, has accomplished a great work, bestowing the richest blessings, and that medicine is Hood's Sarsaparilla. The weak, run-down or debilitated, from any cause, should not fall to take it. It builds up the whole system, changes existence into life, and makes life more abounding. We are glad to say these things in its favor to the readers of our columns. A fine line of whiskies just received at Commercial Hotel Bar—Wilson Mt.

MILITIA DEADLOCK An election held by Co. L at Santa Ana to choose a captain resulted in the company refusing to place in nomination any other name than that of First-Lieut. Clyde L. Bishop, to whom the Brigade Examining Board some weeks ago refused a commission. Col. Finley presided on Monday evening and upon calling for nominations the name of Bishop was presented, and seconded with the applause of the entire company. Finley announced that Bishop was eligible for the office and called for other nominations. None were offered and it was thereupon announced that the election would be postponed pending orders from headquarters. The next move in the deadlock will be for Col. Finley to submit to the brigade officers his report that Co. L declined to elect a captain, and the board may then either call another election, muster out the company, or take disciplinary action. Bishop, by virtue of his office of first-lieutenant, is still commanding officer of the company, and after the election presided at a routine business meeting. He refuses to discuss the situation. The support of the company is with him and the only expression heard tonight is that they will stand by him to the end. Members of the company would not be at all surprised if they were mustered out of service for insubordination. In that event Company L would be transferred to Santa Barbara, Ventura or Long Beach, as applications for the formation of a company are already in from those places. A Great Chance For the Ladies!

Mr. Neff’s twelve-year-old walnut orchard south-west of town is attracting considerable attention among growers not only on account of its fine appearance but because of its large yield of nuts. The crop in many localities is light, not near so large as estimates a month ago indicated. While other orchards have fair crops Mr. Neff’s trees are fairly outdoing themselves, some of the trees having, it is estimated, fully 150 pounds of nuts. Walnut growers say when nuts form in clusters of twos and threes the crop will be heavy. Trees in this orchard not only have clusters of three nuts upon a stem, but of four and even five well formed nuts. As a general rule the trees seem to be roofed over with nuts. The crop promises so well that Mr. Neff makes no estimates of the size—a good indication that it will be heavy. A number of grafts set out this year have taken on this spirit of activity and bear nuts, in cases to the number of orchids. These nuts will be picked. A communication from the city of Anaheim relating to the bad condition of a crossing east of Thalia street was referred to Director Zeyn with power.

Mr. Neff’s twelve-year-old walnut orchard south-west of town is attracting considerable attention among growers not only on account of its fine appearance but because of its large yield of nuts. The crop in many localities is light, not near so large as estimates a month ago indicated. While other orchards have fair crops Mr. Neff’s trees are fairly outdoing themselves, some of the trees having, it is estimated, fully 150 pounds of nuts. Walnut growers say when nuts form in clusters of twos and threes the crop will be heavy. Trees in this orchard not only have clusters of three nuts upon a stem, but of four and even five well formed nuts. As a general rule the trees seem to be roofed over with nuts. The crop promises so well that Mr. Neff makes no estimates of the size—a good indication that it will be heavy. A number of grafts set out this year have taken on this spirit of activity and bear nuts, in cases to the number of orchids. These nuts will be picked. A communication from W. E.
