CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY VOLUME XXXVI CROSSROADS ELECTRIC LINE THROUGH CITY TO BEACH Huntington Will Build Road from Riverside, Through Anaheim to the Coast One of the best known orange growers of Placentia was recently in conference with H. E. Huntington in Los Angeles with reference to the construction of the electric railway through that section. Incidentally Mr. Huntington said that while the Placentia road would not come within a mile of Anaheim, yet this city would have a crossroads line from Riverside to the beach. "I am commissioned by the people of Placentia," said the gentleman referred to in conversation with the railway magnate, "to say to you that they are anxious to have you construct your road through our section, and that we are ready to give you free right of way whenever you want it." "I am very glad to hear that," replied Mr. Huntington; "such talk encourages me to believe your people right of way, but also two one in the north and the south of our district, eighteen three acres, for depot, packing houses." "That is the way to go, our road," replied Mr. who seemed to be in happier the enterprise of the Plaza. "How about a road to inquired the Placentia should like very much communication with that "Anaheim will not be beline from Whittier through to Santa Ana, but it will roads line from Riverside ton Beach."

"I am very glad to hear that," replied Mr. Huntington; "such talk encourages me to believe your people really want our line, and I may add the road will be constructed as soon as iron can be put upon the ground. We have ordered this iron, and it will probably be some time before it arrives. We shall ask a free right of way through your section, and we want to haul your oranges and other produce to market. You have now to haul your produce from four to six miles to your nearest shipping point. We intend to save you this haul." "Our people offer you not only a free Anaheim Cash Group Flour! Flour!

What is the way to go about getting road," replied Mr. Huntington, seemed to be in happy mood over enterprise of the Placentia people. Now about a road to Anaheim?" ed the Placentia man. "We like very much to have rail manication with that city." Anaheim will not be on our belt from Whittier through Placentia ta Ana, but it will have a crossline from Riverside to Huntingeach." Current report that Huntington associated with George Gould in a transcontinental railroad line the latter's western terminus at to Los Angeles, and that dell statements to the contrary, was interested in the recent atto secure the river-bed franchise Angeles. Man has obtained control of the lake road, for the reason, as a man well informed upon the recent stated, of "killing it." Calt Lake line is able to lay down shipments in Chicago from California several days earan either the Southern Pacific ta Fe, and for this reason Senaark has been shut out of advant- and on to a connection with its lines at Chino. The Santa Fe will also undoubtedly build its line from Fullerton to Richfield. The building of a crossroads electric line from Riverside through this city to the seacoast will be hailed with delight by the people of this city. That Huntington views the project favorably is undeniable, for he is said to consider the line a good business move. He feels very friendly to this section, which on several occasions has tendered him a free right of way through this city. "That is just what we want," said one of the leading citizens of Anaheim this week, "a crossroads line to the coast. That will give us easy connection with Los Angeles, Placentia, Riverside and the beach towns. We can secure a free right of way for this road, and I am ready for one to go to work to secure it as soon as it is called for." This is the pervading sentiment with our people. They want the crossroads line to the coast, and up River canyon to Riverside.

At the outset, will say that the Gas company has always had faith in the citizens of Anaheim and have laid nearly a mile of additional mains besides expending quite a large sum for other improvements, even after our honorable board of city trustees and their "expert" have agitated the question of trying to put us out of business by voting bonds to install a municipal gas plant. As far as the question of cheap gas is concerned, will say that under private ownership the people will continue to get gas as cheap, on a much better basis than under municipal ownership. The engineer, employed by the city trustees, and who it is said knows nothing of the gas business, has been free in quoting from the reports of the municipal gas plant at Santa Clara, Cal., but has failed to quote the items in their report that it costs them 70c per 1000 to manufacture the gas and there is a leakage factor of 13 per cent of gas made. Although Santa Clara is a larger town than Anaheim the municipality is compelled to charge her citizens $1 75 for gas, whereas the Anaheim gas company has reduced our rates to $1 25, as was promised when the plant was installed, and rates will be reduced as the consumption justifies. Gas is sold cheaper in Anaheim than any other town of its size in Southern California, including towns that have municipal plants, and there are no bonds or large bills for improvements to be paid by the taxpayers. The money invested by the Anaheim gas company has come from your fellow citizens who pay taxes here and we believe our interests should be protected, especially after having offered to turn over our property to the city at cost. We fail to see the advantage of the people. They want the crossroads line to the coast, and up River canyon to Riverside. The marshal reported collections for March $302 05; electric lights $302 15. Total, $604 quents collected: Water $40 05; total, $57 35. Ported: Water, $30 45 licenses, $1 25; total, $58.

The money invested by the Anaheim gas company has come from your fellow citizens who pay taxes here and we believe our interests should be protected, especially after having offered to turn over our property to the city at cost. We fail to see the advantage of the city voting bonds for 40 years for something we already have and enjoy at the same rates or lower than would be charged by the municipality. Eighteen years is the longest estimate of the life of a gas plant and at the end of that time new bonds would have to be voted to replace something that would not be half paid for. Yours truly, ANAHEIM GAS CO. Chamber of Commerce The chamber of commerce met in regular session Monday evening with all members present. Mr. Neff appeared before the board in reference to the holding of the farmers' institute in this city May 4th and 5th next. The project was discussed at length and the institute promises to be a grand success. Learned speakers will be in attendance and valuable knowledge will be derived from their discourses. Competent committees have the matter in hand and the institute is assured of success. In speaking of the inauguration of new enterprises for the upbuilding of this city, Director Yungbluth wisely observed that it would be well not to have too many "irons in the fire" at once. He argued laboring for the library and the park first and was of APRIL 12, 1906 NUMBER 25 union that better results would thus prove to their efforts. It was moved that the secretary be instructed to communicate with the secretaries of the chambers of commerce in Southern California and envor to get a line on why a Los Angeles morning newspaper "cuts out" suburban news page from its "city" section. So ordered. Director Spake spoke of an enlarged municipality, to take in new territory the east of the present city limits. There would no doubt be many advantages to be derived from extending the city limits. Director Callor was pointed to look up the matter legally and report on the same at the next meeting.

Then he discovered he was ineligible and dropped out of the fight. John Brunworth was then solicited to make the race, but declined. Spielman then entered the contest, when the campaign was half over, and considering everything made a very creditable showing. Hartung's big lead over Helmsen for treasurer was one of the surprises of the day. Merritt had a walkover for clerk.
