MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP OR EDISON City Trustees Discuss Propriety of Leasing Electric Light Plant—New Sidewalks—Bees The city trustees at their meeting on Tuesday evening discussed informally with Mr. Gessler of the Edison electric light company the propriety of leasing the municipal electric light plant to his company for a term of years. Mr. Gessler said his company could operate the plant cheaper than the municipality and as a consequence cheaper light to consumers would result. He offered to pay the city 124 per cent of the gross receipts of the lighting service, and agreed to give the city the right to terminate the agreement in a year. In that event, however, his company would demand $500 for their work. He added that his company was not desirous of leasing the plant with a view to relinquishing control of the works in a year, but desired to make the agreement permanent, and to that end would guarantee the best service. His company wouldions as to curb line and other and was instructed to proceed work. Application of C. F. Grim for water in Del Campo tract. On of Schumacher, seconded by F. Mr. Grim was granted permission lay pipe at his own cost, he the same out in water. W. C. Warner was granted vision to move a small frame built rear of his barn to another location. Darling suggested the tea salaries should be raised from $50. Schwenckert said these had been recently reduced from $45 on the ground of economy, opposed the raise. No action taken.

In that event, however, his company would demand $500 for their work. He added that his company was not desirous of leasing the plant with a view to relinquishing control of the works in a year, but desired to make the agreement permanent, and to that end would guarantee the best service. His company would render monthly statements. He was now furnishing power to Riverside and Colton for operation of their city plants, and his company was furnishing power to a large number of pumping plants in this vicinity. He said his proposition was a money saver to the city, and if the trustees viewed his offer with favor he would make a written statement of his purposes at a future meeting. Trustees Darling, Rust and Fletcher favored the move as being an economical venture, while Schwenckert and Berdrow opposed it. Schwenckert said he favored staying by the municipal plant. The service was good, better, he said, than that of the Edison company at Orange or Santa Ana. The plant pays, and if the Edison people could operate it at a profit he could see no reason why the city could not do so also. He would not vote in favor of the change without an affirmative vote of the people. Clerk Merritt read from his annual report showing the successful operation of the city's plant, the net increase of receipts over expenditures being $654 for the past year. After discussion Mr. Gessler was instructed to bring in his proposition in writing, when it will be further discussed. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for May: Water $309 50, licenses $473 50, lights $460 55, total $1243 55. Delinquents collected: Water $39 65, lights $29 35, total $69.

The game was a snappy contest throughout and the patrons surely got a run for their money. Johnson was in the box for the Oils and was given good support. Gamble pitched for the visitors and the locals hung it onto him in true Togo style. The Flags blanked the first three innings, while the Oil string of figures read 1, 3, 1—making five. It looked like easy money for them, but Goodman’s long drive in the fourth sent in the two men who preceeded him, he scoring later, netting three. The Oils blanked the fourth’s last half, but having a comfortable lead they cared not for a little thing like that. The Flags in the fifth went down in a rush, while the Oils kept a-rubbing it in, Lewis sending home two men on a peach of a double, and the green grass grew all around. They were in clover. In the sixth the Hoegees mustered up courage and scored again, and so did the Oils. But that was all for the visitors. The Oils blanked in the seventh and topped the game off with one in the eighth. They did not play the last half of the ninth.

NOTES The game was probably one of the best ever, and the collectors received commendable treatment on their walks around; perhaps the hat checks did the trick. Arthur Perris umpired an impartial game, something we have not been witnessing here of late. Johnson pitched his usual fine game, allowing the Hoegees only five hits, two of which were classed as lucky. Meats carried off the honors at second, accepting several hard chances in his usual easy fashion, also hitting the ball when hits meant runs. All the oil boys are becoming acclimated in their new territory and put up good ball. And say, Andy, the grounds need fixin' awfully bad. Manager Young's white hat of the vintage of '05 may have had something to do with lifting the hoodoo: but Tom says there are no ponies of that color running. So keep quiet, boys.

Elaborate and expensive costumes, which were made to order especially for the occasion, will be shown throughout the play. This is the first time the Taming of the Shrew, one of Shakespeare's high comedies, will be produced by a graduating class in Orange county schools and it is to be hoped that the citizens of Anaheim will attend in great numbers and appreciate the efforts of the students, who promise us such a creditable performance.

T. Searle, the Bureau of Forestry. This research considers the possibilities of using on various types of denuded chaparral-covered land in these regions, and embodies recommendations as to species which should be used and methods of planting, and limits the slopes which are in most urgent need of attention. The chaparral growth has been divided into five well-defined types which require special treatment. The most widely species, such as the knob cone, oak tree and digger pine will be planted in more unfavorable situations, but the more valuable, but less widely trees, such as yellow, sugar and water pine and spruce and cedar will be planted on more favorable sites. The Postal telegraph company yesterday moved its office to the postoffice. Deputy Postmaster Scott will have charge of the operating department. Supervisor Linebarger has completed oiling 3¼ miles of Orangethorpe avenue. He expects to oil two more miles on the west end of this avenue next month. Placentia avenue, from Wm. Crowther's to J. N. Nenno's, was given a coat of oil this week. Indications are for a resumption of the extensive mining operations carried out in Silverado canyon, twenty-five miles east of this city, twenty-five years ago. The Bourland mine and milling company, organized recently by Los Angeles and Bakersfield men, is meeting with success in working the old Blue Light mine. This mine is owned by Mr. McMurphy of Los Angeles and was worked thirty years ago with varying success.
