CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY VOLUME XXXVI ANAH CONRAD AGAIN DENIED COVETED LIQUOR LICENSE Fletcher Declares that Liquor Dealer Has Forfeited Respect of Community Widening Broadway and Lemon Street Declaring F. Conrad had forfeited the respect of the people of the community, the city trustees at their meeting on Tuesday evening for the third time in as many meetings denied the application of that individual for a wholesale liquor license. The application was made for a wholesale liquor establishment on Adella street, at the place in which Conrad was recently arrested for selling liquor without a license, and for which he forfeited bail in the amount of $100. Conrad possesses the virtue of persistency, even if he lacks the respect of his fellowmen. In October he applied for a wholesale liquor license for a joint to be maintained next the exhibit room of the explanations and suggested much as several gentlemen were present, that they be cared for their views. W. S. Tipton said he felt street should be widened and very sensible talk upon the of taking out the jog in the that point. He submitted and writing saying he would deed a strip 20 feet wide if council for the sidewalk. His house near the street line if the street widened, and he did not know he would have much of a left, but he was willing to do in reason to secure widening. Clerk Merritt read another of property owners living on east of Los Angeles street, widening the street to the prevailing east of Los Angeles. Berdrow observed it would a stiff proposition for the cement sidewalks along the of the thoroughfare. He pro that event property owners south side would ask the sege. Fletcher was of opinion much as property-owners on side were asked to donate 5½ those on the north were ask feet, that the southsiders have the same claim upon the sidewalks as those upon th application was made for a wholesale liquor establishment on Adella street, at the place in which Conrad was recently arrested for selling liquor without a license, and for which he forfeited bail in the amount of $100. Conrad possesses the virtue of persistency, even if he lacks the respect of his fellowmen. In October he applied for a wholesale liquor license for a joint to be maintained next the exhibit room of the chamber of commerce. It was denied. A fortnight later he applied for a license to open a liquor house on Center street near the new Odd Fellows block, and met with the same fate. On Tuesday evening he again applied for a license for a joint on Adella street. A year ago he held a wholesale and retail license at this point, but the same were revoked by council on petition of residents of the vicinity who took on a hot fight in order to close the place. The application was made in the name of a "citizen and taxpayer," and was attended by a lengthy clipping from a Los Angeles newspaper giving a phase of the saloon fight in that city. Trustees Rust. Schwenckert, Berdrow and Fletcher were present; absent, Darling. Schwenckert said that so far as the application was concerned, council could not grant it even if it wished, for the place designated was without the liquor limits and in the residence section. Fletcher expressed himself vehemently upon the application. The man is a stayer, he said. However he has forfeited the respect of the people of the city, and he knows why his previous applications have been denied. He abused his privileges when he held a license and it was revoked for cause. He continued selling liquor despite the fact he had no license, and was arrested and fined $100. Residents of the neighborhood protested against his place during its continuance, it being the resort of drunken men, who disturbed the peace and committed nuisances. He considered Conrad was overstepping himself in his present attempt to get a liquor license. Schwenckert said he proposed in the near future to bring up the liquor license ordinance for drastic amendment. He will ask for one thing to have the amount of the wholesale liquor license raised and will seek to limit wholesale sales to five gallons. Fletcher was of opinion much as property-owners on side were asked to donate 5½ those on the north were asked feet, that the southsiders have the same claim upon the sidewalks as those upon the side of the street. A computation showed that sidewalk on one side of the full length of the block would $600. Schwenckert said the easier of the difficulty was to process board had originally intended demn the propety, increased width of the street to conform lines east of Los Angeles street. Wm. Koenig, a large property and one of the oldest and men in the city, was present being called upon said he did the propriety of donating an land from his frontage for p street widening. The street enough for him. He had been taxes on this property for 25 taxes this year being $135. After further discussion Schwenckert moved to proceed in condemnity along the street to conform with the thoroughness Los Angeles street. Engineer Steward was in make surveys and Attorney prepare necessary resolution ordered by Fletcher and carri Superintendent of Streets brought up the matter of the trees in front of Dr. Beebe's which he had ordered our room for cement sidewalks. tor, he said, had declared should not come out, and boss asked how about it. found the trees interfered inches with the walk. Their been cut away and there was their being toppled over wind. Personally, he did whether the trees remained but for the good of the waferred to have them out. Bthe board desired to permit remain he wanted a bond inc him from future loss in c dent. Dr. Beebe offered a few the resort of drunken men, who disturbed the peace and committed nuisances. He considered Conrad was overstepping himself in his present attempt to get a liquor license. Schwenckert said he proposed in the near future to bring up the liquor license ordinance for drastic amendment. He will ask for one thing to have the amount of the wholesale liquor license raised and will seek to limit wholesale sales to five gallons, instead of the present ridiculous quantity, a fifth of a gallon, which places wholesaling and retailing on a parity. The new ordinance, he thought, would not make wholesale licenses so desirable. Berdrow favored a plan whereby Conrad might be given a run for his money. Schwenckert moved the application be denied. Seconded by Fletcher. Roll call—Rust asked to be excused from voting. Berdrow voted no, Schwenckert and Fletcher aye. Motion carried and application denied. A delegation of citizens residing on Broadway and owning property along that thoroughfare appeared before the board relative to widening that highway. Council at a previous meeting had adopted a resolution of intent to widen the street 5½ feet upon each side, from Los Angeles street to Lemon. Inasmuch as an agreement with the property owners affected could not be reached, council had decided to adopt proceedings to condemn property along the street for the widening. Thereafter several residents asked that the matter be deferred to the end that instead of widening the northerly side 5½ feet the increase be 20 feet, in order to conform to width of the street east of Los Angeles street. City Attorney Melrose made these ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, ans and suggested that inasseveral gentlemen interested ment, that they be called upon views. Cipton said he felt that the would be widened and made a stable talk upon the necessity out the jog in the street at He submitted an offer in yelling he would deed the city feet wide if council would pay sidewalk. His house would be street line if the street were and he did not know whether have much of a front yard he was willing to do anything to secure widening the street. Ferritt read another petition by owners living on Broadway Los Angeles street, asking for the street to the same width east of Los Angeles street. We observed it would be rather position for the city to lay sidewalks along the north side throughfare. He presumed in property owners along the we would ask the same priviler was of opinion that inasproperty-owners on the south asked to donate 5½ feet, while the north were asked for 20 at the southsiders would not same claim upon the city for as those upon the opposite hauling gravel, Broad street graded, and Baum cottage moved. Fletcher reported bills audited to amount of $49 91. Schwenckert reported a resolution of intention to widen Lemon street. and naming Frank Shanley, M. Nebelung and G. J. Stock as commissioners to assess benefits and damages; compensation to be $2 50 per day, each to file a bond in the amount of $5000 for faithful performance of duty and each to be liable to instant dismissal by council for neglect of duty. Carried. Schwenckert introduced a resolution of intention preparing the way for a city election to vote bonds for municipal improvements. It was passed. It proposes for the issuance of $23,000 for increasing and adding to present water works, $25,000 for electric lights. $15,-000 for a gas generating and distributing plant, $3000 for cement crosswalks and $3000 for oiling streets; total $69,000.

Litten was appointed. The salary to be paid by the city to be $37.50, and $40 or more to be subscribed by citizens. Another Glorious Rain An inch and .31 of rain has fallen since the last report, bringing the seasonal total, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge, to 5.32 inches. While figures of the rainfall a quarter of a century ago are not at hand as we write, it is the opinion of W. J. Hill, who is one of the best posted men in Orange county upon such matters, that not since the winter of 1878 has so much rain fallen up to the first of December. Not in the past twenty years has anything like it fallen. Indeed, we have had years during the past decade when the entire amount of rainfall has but slightly exceeded that already precipitated. On all hands plowing progresses actively and a record-breaking acreage will be seeded to grain. Rain began falling early on Sunday morning and continued until midnight, when the heaviest precipitation in years set in and lasted half an hour. Eighty-five hundredths of an inch was the night's record. Monday night forty-six hundredths fell, making the season's total 5.32. Rain has fallen from the Columbia river to the Mexican coast. The drouth in the north is broken, yet the fall in Southern California largely exceeds that so far recorded in the north. The fall in this section is as large as that of building the great citrus try to convince Senator Fitzsimon the president's position, back of the railroads," said Ford. "The gross volume fruit business last season eased 000,000, and should, with couragement in a few years able that amount, there be tion but that this citrus f is in the front rank among industries. Now is the time and any delay in clearly sh we stand may be fatal to interest, which means so m tire state, and especially California."—Los Angeles No Word from Sacramento Nothing has come this year to the decision of the commission pointed to select a site for logical laboratory and extention.

Street superintendent reported in city's electric pole line, line installed from Los Angeto to new packing house near Pacific depot, city teams when the heaviest precipitation in years set in and lasted half an hour. Eighty-five hundredths of an inch was the night's record. Monday night forty-six hundredths fell, making the season's total 5.32. Rain has fallen from the Columbia river to the Mexican coast. The drouth in the north is broken, yet the fall in Southern California largely exceeds that so far recorded in the north. The fall in this section is as large as that of any section of the state. Stand by the President "Every interest connected with citrus fruits in California should realize the importance of giving to the president its support in his position toward legislation being taken by the congress which will soon assemble with reference to the regulation of railroad rates and private car lines," said B. A. Woodford, manager of the Southern California Fruit Exchange, today. "While all business interests in Southern California, especially, are affected by the prosperity of the citrus fruit industry in greater or less degree, the growers primarily should see to it that nothing is left undone that would help to bring about the legislation recommended by the president. Generally speaking," he continued, "no trouble on this score is anticipated in Washington from the house of representatives, which unquestionably is ready to take the needed legislative action, but in the senate opinion is divided, a large number of the senators standing with the transportation companies in this matter and against the president.

Similar testimony was the decrease in the flow various places in the dino valley since the Ripany opened its wells, pumping a heavy flow.

Jack Smiley was in the box for the visitors, but he proved to be a regular Thanksgiving tapioca. He looks fierce when in action but his dago delivery was chewed up in a way that caused frequent Comanche outbursts to emanate from among the bleachers. Johnson for the home team was not in his usual good form, but was given admirable support and that tells the tale. The Oils blanked the first and second. In the third, after a bit of a warm up, they put three men over the plate, one the next and three more in the fifth. The game from this period developed into a seance that looked like it was a shame to "taka the mon," and the locals had the session tucked away nicely. The Exams were outplayed at every stage of the game and were easy picking.

Maurice Ray umpired two innings and called decisions that should not have been disputed, and he only relinquished the honor when the foreigners' kicking became insufferable. He acted perfectly right in stepping out of the game. Ed Raines was substituted as umpire and gave general satisfaction. Ed is good ball authority. An unfeeling player stepped up to bat with a fuso de ropo hanging from the corner of his mouth, when Manager Young rushed up and removed the hemp, bearing it aloft. "Toss it here, Tom," chorused a batch of fans, but Tom took a chance at it himself, while a buxom one of the fair sex remarked he's——but that's another story. What's the matter with "Coonie," the peanut boy? He was missed on the rialto. Lewis played a nice game on second. Mott's catch of a foul was a feature. The Oil Wells played an errorless game. Johnson has two shut-out games to his credit out of the four games he has pitched. Burnett is certainly hitting the ball these days. Jack says he will lay down a bunt one of these times. Attendance, 800. George Kammerer has been with the boys up at the wells the past week. George keeps posted on the games by reading the Gazette. He would like to have the team visit Santa Barbara. The Olinda team shut out the Tufts-Lyon nine in the game at Santa Ana on Wednesday last, the score being 6 to 0. The feature of the game was Burnett's batting, he making two home runs. Oh me, Oh my!
