MAXWELL'S FIGURES TAXES FOR PROPOSED SCHOOL TEN CENTS ON $100. Total Amount to be Paid in Twenty Years. $14,725. Not $20,000, as Stated by a Misinformed Contemporary—Meeting Upholds School Trustees. The third meeting of the series called to consider the question of voting bonds for the erection of additional school facilities assembled at the Central school on Monday evening. There was an attendance of probably fifty. Judge Howard presided, and H.A. Dickel acted as secretary. The meeting after a thorough discussion of the subject decided to endorse the action of the previous meetings and place the bonds to be voted for at the sum of $10,000. The chair called for reports from members of the Committee of Ten. Mr. Dickel, chairman of that committee, reported upon the meeting of Thursday evening, details of which are presented in another column. He said a canvass of citizens showed the people to be impressed with the necessity for providing more school room, and he thought voters would see their duty clearly on election day and approve the bond issue. Mr. Spencer had talked with several business men, and had found a decided sentiment against the issue. In answer to a question by Mr. Maxwell, he said none of those who opposed the $10,000 issue were present at the meeting. Mr. Tipton said he had heard several express the opinion that the high school should be purchased by the district and used as a primary. Then they favored the issuance of a bond issue of $25,000 for a fine high school. These people desired to point with pride to the fine school building. Mr. Dickel doubted the feasibility of purchasing the high school. Mr. Tipton said that if we had to enlarge the high school within the next three or four years, it might be well to do so now. session of 10 cents on the $100 to meet them, principal and interest. We get this money at 4½ per cent. Money is worth 6 per cent. It is a good investment. The district is entitled next year to eleven or twelve teachers. Where are we going to put them? He continued at some length in support of a $10,000 bond issue. He exploded the Del Campo proposition, showing it was altogether unfitted for school purposes. Mr. Dickel said he was prepared to stand by the trustees in asking for a $10,000 bond issue. When he said he felt certain the proposition would carry, it brought forth applause. A further discussion ensued, after which Mr. Dickel called the Committee of Ten into an ante-room for further discussion. The committee occupied some time in debating the question whether to recommend a higher bond issue, but finally returned again and recommended that the advice of the school trustees be adopted and an issue of $10,000 be voted on. Mr. Spencer at this point moved that it be the sense of this meeting that the action of previous meetings, in-upholding the $10,000 issue, be approved. Seconded by Mr. Dickel. A secret ballot was called for. Lewis, Tipton and Spencer were appointed tellers. The vote resulted: Yes, 34; no, 3; blank ballots, 2. Rev. Cliwer said he had been deceived by published accounts regarding the bond issue, but now expressed himself as favoring the issue. He hoped the committee would continue its missionary kwor, and send a sub-committee to interview the editor of the misguided contemporary and persuade him to reform from his wicked ways. Messrs. Maxwell and Lewis exploded some of the Plain Dealer's arguments about direct taxation, renting and total amount of bonds. Rev. Cliwer thought the editor of the esteemed contemporary had earned a vacation, and hoped there would be no further objection on the part of that paper to the erector of necessary schoolhouses in this city. Each one present was constituted a committee of one to work for the bonds, and the meeting adjourned until Monday evening next. BLOCK IN STREET METZ CORNER PROPERTY INCHES OUT OF LINE. City Trustees Will Abandon Strip, Closing the Title—First National Bank Purchase and Occupy the Structure. At the meeting of city trustees Tuesday evening, N. Hart, administrator for the estate of the late Metz, and attorney Daniel of San Ana, appeared before the board to show by maps and other data that the Metz block, on the corner of Centerville and Los Angeles streets, projected inches into the latter thoroughfare. Petition was filed stipulating that purchaser had been secured for the building, but that the flaw in title consequent upon the building belonged in the street, prevented a sale. The sale of the building would result considerable improvement in the neighborhood. Inasmuch as the line for the erection of the building was given in the first instance by the city petitioners asked that a deed be given them and title to property quieted. Trustee Rust objected to the city giving a deed for any portion of the street. Trustees Darling, Tyler, Fletcher and Berdrow viewed the matter in different light, and favored granting the petition. City attorney Melrose pointed out that the board could not legally deed a portion of a public thoroughfare, but if counsel desired to grant petition, could take the matter up with the purpose of abandoning the strip by course of regular procedure. This plan was adopted, and the city attorney was authorized to prepare the necessary resolution of intention looking to the final abandonment of the fifteen inch strip. It is stated that S. O. Wood was city engineer at the time of making this report. Mr. Tipton said he had heard several express the opinion that the high school should be purchased by the district and used as a primary. Then they favored the issuance of a bond issue of $25,000 for a fine high school. These people desired to point with pride to the fine school building. Mr. Dickel doubted the feasibility of purchasing the high school. Mr. Tipton said that if we had to enlarge the high school within the next three or four years, it might be well to do it now. Mr. Dickel asked whether the district could vote on both a $10,000 and a $20,000 levy at the same time. Mr. Tipton was of the opinion it could be done, but he referred the case to Mr. Lewis, who he said, was more familiar with the school law applying to the case. Mr. Lewis said his impression was that it could not be done. The school law is explicit and provides exactly what must be done in bond elections, including the amount sought to be issued, for what purposes the money is to be used and so on. Mr. Maxwell said if there were no other objection to this scheme, it would be impossible because if each proposition obtained the necessary two-thirds majority, there would be a total of four-thirds, and that would never do. Mr. Lewis said if both proposition were placed on the ballot, and a unanimous vote were cast for them, the result might be half for one issue and half for another, and thus each would fall of the necessary two-thirds. Godfrey Stock said he had favored purchasing the high school and turning it into a graded school, but since hearing the arguments against it, he saw the inadvisability of the plan and now opposed it. Mr. Clabaugh reviewed the situation, saying he was prepared to accept the advice of the school trustees and stand for the $10,000 issue. He cited the law governing high school districts, and showed it would be necessary to hold two elections if edistrict undertook to buy that property; one in the high school district to take the sense of the voters whether they wished to sell, the other in the grammar district to ascertain whether bonds could be issued for its purchase. Mr. Lewis explained the difference between the high school district and the grammar school district, showing each was entirely separate from the other. The high school received no money from the state until the past year, when a bill passed by the last Legislature provided that $15 should be paid for each pupil. The grammar school draws money from the state based upon the number of children attending 70 pupils entitled the district to one teacher for whom $500 is appropriated. The county also appropriates an amount based on average daily attendance, which amounts to about $6 per pupil. The support of the high school rests entirely with the taxpayers of the district, and it is by taxation some of the Plain Dealer's arguments about direct taxation, renting and total amount of bonds. Rev. Cleriew thought the editor of the esteemed contemporary had earned a vacation, and hoped there would be no further objection on the part of that paper to the erection of necessary schoolhouses in this city. Each one present was constituted a committee of one to work for the bonds, and the meeting adjourned until Monday evening next. Neighborhood Row. Francisco Ruiz was arrested on complaint of Carlos Corona and charged with having indecently exposed himself to lady members of plaintiff's family during the progress of a neighborhood row. Ruiz indignantly denies the accusation. A jury trial was demanded, but when the case was called for trial before Judge Howard on Monday complaint was dismissed and Ruiz rearrested on a charge of disturbing the peace. Trial will be had on Monday before Justice Howard. LEGAL CONTEST OVER TIDE LANDS. Local Residents Have a Case at Issue With Helfman Concerning Property at Landing. Some weeks ago H. W. Hellman secured judgment against a number of local people who have for several years past maintained summer residences at Anaheim Landing. The judgment quieted title to lands occupied by them and the case was not contested in court. Subsequently Sheriff Laoy went to the Landing with a view to dispossessing the holders of the property involved, but inasmuch as there was no definite survey to be guided by, refused to act upon the writ dispossessing the settlers. The latter refrained from contesting the case, and in so doing claim they placed responsibility upon Hellman for having a survey made by the United States government. The land in question is claimed to be tide land, and the contention is made that as such is subject to pre-emption by the possessors. This land occupies a large frontage at the Landing, and now that Huntington's electric railway traverses it and cars are running through the same, it has become valuable and the settlers will put up a hard fight to retain it. Pending a survey by the United States government it will be held by the settlers, who refuse to surrender possession of it under any circumstances, until such survey shall determine for or against Hellman. The contention is made that Hellman's line has never been accurately determined, and thus the burden of proof rests upon him for causing the survey to be made. The Anaheim Landing Mining and Development Company recently executed some of the Plain Dealer's arguments about direct taxation, renting and total amount of bonds. Rev. Cleriew thought the editor of the esteemed contemporary had earned a vacation, and hoped there would be no further objection on the part of that paper to the erection of necessary schoolhouses in this city. Each one present was constituted a committee of one to work for the bonds, and the meeting adjourned until Monday evening next. City attorney Melrose pointed out that the board could not legally deed a portion of a public thoroughfare, but if counsel desired to grant petition, could take the matter up with the purse of abandoning the strip by course of regular procedure. This plan was adopted, and the city attorney was authorized to prepare necessary resolution of intention looking to the final abandonment of the fifteen inch strip. It is stated that S. O. Wood was city engineer at the time of making this survey. The First National bank has made an offer to purchase the building, and the sale has been hanging fire for several weeks on account of the flaw in title. When this matter is cleared up the transfer will be made, and the premises which will be rebuilt, occupied by the bank. Marshal Steadman reported following collections for May: For water $242.25; for electric lights; $410.45; for licenses; $477.25; total; $1129.95. Delinquents collected: Water $13.45; lights; 31.45; total; $44.90. Delinquents reported: Water; $31-50; lights; $56.40; license; $1.25; total; $89.15. Treasurer Hasting reported following moneys on hand: In general fund; $1150.92; Bond fund No. 1; $930; No. 2; $148.50; library fund; $246.34; total; $2475.76. Clerk Merritt's financial report tallied with the treasurers figures. Recorder Howard reported tight times in his office during the month, owing to the warm weather, there having been no cases in his court during the month. Trustee Fletcher of the finance committee, reported examination of reports of city officials, finding the same correct and the approval of bills against the city to the amount of $1899.29. Trustee Berdrow of the public improvements committee, reported laying of 260 feet of pipe on Los Angeles street, receipt from Santa Fe company of a car of oil, which had been put on east Center street from the depot yard; trees along thoroughfares had been pruned, water meters had been put in, and the city team was hauling gravel. Trustee Darling of the ordinance committee reported ordinance No. 164, relating to minors frequenting pool and billard rooms and bowling alleys. Youths below 18 are barred from these places. A petition was received asking that age limit be 16 years, but council turned it down and passed the ordinance (unanimously). It will be found published in another column. City Engineer Steward submitted plans and profiles of streets and sidewalks, which were accepted and ordered filed. The clerk read resolution of intention No. 34, relating to construction of sidewalks on city streets. The same will be found in another column. Sprinkler Fossek petitioned for an The high school received no money from the state until the past year, when a bill passed by the last Legislature provided that $15 should be paid for each pupil. The grammar school draws money from the state based upon the number of children attending, 70 pupils entitling the district to one teacher for whom $500 is appropriated. The county also appropriates an amount based on average daily attendance, which amounts to about $6 per pupil. The support of the high school rests entirely with the taxpayers of the district, and it is by taxation levied upon them that funds are raised for maintaining the school. He pointed out the inadvisability of purchasing the high school by the grammar district. Mr. Bissell observed he had found quite a sentiment in favor of a larger bond issue than $10,000. Many wanted $25,000, and he was not persuaded that a $10,000 issue would carry. Mr. Haywood was emphatic against a $10,000 issue. "Don't build another squatty building like the high school. Build a decent building, one that we can show to newcomers here as an evidence of our educational facilities." Mr. Maxwell said he would prefer to show newcomers here a smaller school building full of pupils than a large building half empty. He reviewed again at some length the purpose of the board of school trustees in asking for the erection of a primary school, that it was to relieve the overcrowded condition of the lower grades, and to remove the little ones from the larger pupils. He refuted many of the silly arguments relative to the bonds. He had read the published statement that the issue of $10,000 would amount to $20,-000 by the time they were paid off. Why are such statements made? They are not true. Any sixth grader can figure that out. Going to the blackboard he showed the bonds by the time they were all paid would have cost the district $14,725. The first year $450 interest and $500 principal would have to be paid, making a total of $950. That would be the largest sum paid in any one year. The last payment would amount to $522.50; average for each year, $786.25. The assessed valuation of the district being $750,000, it will be seen these bonds would require an annual payment up a hard fight to retain it. Pending a survey by the United States government it will be held by the settlers, who refuse to surrender possession of it under any circumstances, until such survey shall determine for or against Hellman. The contention is made that Hellman's line has never been accurately determined, and thus the burden of proof rests upon him for causing the survey to be made. The Anaheim Landing Mining and Development Company recently executed right of way to the Huntington electric railway, which runs through the company's lands. Local residents occupying the lands in dispute will seek to obtain title from the government, and will in that event erect a row of fine summer cottages thereupon. Money in Celery. Following are figures taken from the report of the secretary of the Peatland Celery Grower's Association: Number of cars shipped by the association, 1507; total number of dozens, 1,841,149; amount received for same, $293,817.69.

Figures on 25 cars shipped for individual account of growers not included in above statement. BOND ISSUE A bond issue of $25,000, to be used in putting the city streets in better condition, is being agitated by a number of Santa Ana citizens. The matter has come in an informal way before members of the city trustees, some of whom are favorable to the bond issue submitted to the voters. It is proposed to use a large part of the money for olling the principal thoroughfares, substituting the crude oil treatment for sprinkling with water, and thereby saving some of the expense of pumping at the city water-works. A petition was received asking that the age limit be 16 years, but council turned it down and passed the ordinance unanimously. It will be found published in another column. City Engineer Steward submitted plans and profiles of streets and sidewalks, which were accepted and ordered filed. The clerk read resolution of intention No. 34, relating to construction of sidewalks on city streets. The same will be found in another column. Sprinkler Fossek petitioned for an increase in compensation, owing to the fact that the sprinkled area kept him two hours longer each day than contract agreement. The board, on motion of Tyler, seconded by Fletcher, raised the salary 50 cents per day, for two hours extra work. Council also authorized the city engineer to install larger supply pipes to each of the eight fire hydrants in town. R.R. Fossek showing that, owing to the diminutive size of those at present in use, it took him five hours each day to fill his sprinkler, and then he devoted seven hours riding about seeing the sights and supplying water to the streets. The present size of supply pipe is two inches. Four inch pipes will be installed, so there may be in future a maximum of street sprinkling, and a minimum of watering time at hydrants. Trustee Darling said Engineer Schneider wanted an increase in salary. After a discussion of the subject, a raise was voted from $75 to $85. Trustee Burdrow thought that in view of the expense at the powerhouse, the night service ought to be cut out during the summer months. Trustee Darling was of the same opinion, but Trustee Tyler opposed it, and the matter was dropped. The salary of Eugene Adams was raised from $50 to $65 per month. The board discussed the proposition of employing a nightwatch, and the matter was referred to Marshal Steadman. That Throbbing Headache Would quickly leave you if you used Dr. King's New Life Pills.

Wood was city at the time of making the SANTITOS LOVED MARGARET. Both are Under age—Parents Objected and so the Couple Eloped—Returned, Forgiven and Happily Wedded. When this community awoke to the fact that, on Saturday last, Santitos Carrisosa and Miss Margaret Bleccher had eloped, those who had seen the two young lovers at their tryst were not surprised. Santitos is the Beau Brummel of the Spanish colony, and is a leader in the dances and other social frivolities given by members of that colony. He is 18. Margaret is said to be the prettiest girl in the Spanish set, and belongs to an excellent family, as does her young husband, for by the time these lines are read the two will have been legally wed. Margaret is fourteen, wears short dresses and works out at washing to earn an honest livelihood. Parents of the young couple objected to their going together, and Margaret was kept under close surveillance. However she contrived to meet Santitos, and on Saturday last they determined to find a way to happiness by eloping. Santitos appropriated his father's horse and buggy, and meeting Margaret by appointment on a side street, drove later Fullerton. The pair went to Rincon, where Santitos borrowed $45 from Ramon Corona, leaving the horse and buggy as security. To Corona Santitos said he was on his way to Fresno. From Rincon the elopers went to Chi-no by train, then to Los Angeles, where they remained during Saturday night. On Sunday morning they left for Fresno. Both were well dressed, but there was little money between them. Parents of the elopers were at once on their trail and telegrams were dispatched to Fullerton, Chino, Whittier, Rincon and other places, but without locating them. On Sunday Santos Carrisosa, father of the young Lothario, drove to Rincon in search of the boy. He found his horse and buggy, redeemed it by refunding to Corona the amount his son had borrowed the day before. Here he learned the couple had gone to Fresno.
