We have one dangerous place in Horse Shoe bend, the pipe under canal not being of sufficient capacity to carry off the storm water. We should have an over-shute at this place. The main canal is also in need of cleaning, but as there is an abundance of water, it will be more economical to postpone cleaning for a while. Respectfully, A. L. PORTER, Supt.

Secretary was instructed to re-read that petition for the relief of the said ditch has already been issued to him last November post and he asked that a new need to him in lieu thereof. The secretary was in to draw a warrant in favor of the sum of $18 75 as re-communication from a member of committee of the chamber of commuting the board to attend to arrange for a farmers' in-Anabeim in the near future Favors Public Improvements EDITOR GAZETTE:—The following final facts are submitted for the consideration of the voters on the coming bond election April 14, 1906: The city of Anaheim is to decide upon incurring an indebtedness— For improvement and extension of water system, $23,000. For improvement and extension of electrical system, $25,000. For the construction of a gas system, $15,000. Should the bonds carry to this extent of $63,000 it will be able to supply its people with gas at $1. Electricity at 10 cents and water at the present charge, and at the same time they will be prepared for several years to come for supplying such service. At present there is not enough capacity in the plant to take care of all the customers, and the machinery is being dangerously taxed. The tanks are in a serious condition and likely to follow the example of those in Redwood City, which fell and destroyed the plant. The supports are badly decayed and lives are endangered. The wells are insufficient to supply the demand for water. The plant must now be moved to a new location or it will always have to remain in the center of the city where smoke and the discharge from engines of a much larger plant will be very troublesome, especially when a gas plant is established. Santa Ana has just banished their plant to the railroad section where it has proper company. There will never be another opportunity for moving the plant, because it will be exceedingly expensive bye and bye, while it is inexpensive now and it is sure to be moved eventually. The city must now decide on the question of voting bonds for a new plant, or go out of business entirely, and sell out to some outside company, body and soul, makeshifts can no longer be made. Now all new plants are put up by incurring a bonded indebtedness, no matter whether it is a private or a municipal corporation. Then why indirectly sell out and pay interest on cleaning, but as there is an abundance of water, it will be more economical to postpone cleaning for a while. Respectfully, A. L. PORTER, Supt. Favors Public Improvements Thirdly—The constructing plant, for education and distribution. Needed. Fourthly—The construc-tre cross-walks at its street crossings. Necessary. Fifthly—The oiling or systematically. Necessary. The estimated cost of the pal improvements is, in careful figuring by our own and other expert calculations thousand dollars, ($69,000) easy installments, annual. Present power is adequate to our progressive use for both water and light. Citizens in remote po-lies should be on hand April polls to express themselves "no" with our business ties to their desires for per-person forward movement already or for a holdup right whence. Nothing can be accomplished funds, and the only legal them is by issuance and special bonds to cover the rest. The power plant at present the city of Anaheim could water sufficient to extinguish fire anywhere within should such a case present. Anyone wishing to get gardening the operating e-net revenues from our lighting service can obtain city clerk. So far as furnishers can be done, with cilities now in hand, our regular profit, and with even and power to handle their vice could be given with a live expense, and greater. The question is up to the taxpayers to ratify the board of city trustees, in order provide for necessary external works, for accommodations concerned. Remember the date, A.C., city hall. T. A.

Report of Finances Resident’s report, March, 1906, ward of directors of the A. gentlemen: The following for the month of March: Employee.....$490 in canal.....$ 74 11 The city must now decide on the question of voting bonds for a new plant, or go out of business entirely, and sell out to some outside company, body and soul, makeshifts can no longer be made. Now all new plants are put up by incurring a bonded indebtedness, no matter whether it is a private or a municipal corporation. Then why indirectly sell out and pay interest on private corporation bonds and also profit on their stock, when the city already owns its own plant? Conservative estimates have just been finally made jointly by the city clerk, city engineer and the city’s consulting engineers, which conclusively show that even though the city had no system at all installed it would pay them to install it now. It would have no franchise to purchase and would have a splendid set of customers ready to patronize it. The figures also show that due to the installation of high efficiency engines and improved methods of pumping, and by raising the pressure on the electrical distributing system, such a saving in fuel will be effected as will in great part pay for the increased bond expense, even the first year, when the ratio of expense to income is large, due to the plant being too large to start off with. In future years both the tax rate and the rate for electricity, gas and water will be reduced. It may be argued that an outside private corporation could afford to give us better rates than the city could itself because it works on a big scale. This might be so if it were not against their policy to lower the rate in one town lower than in any other on its system. It could not afford on account of its in- liege, while it is inexpensive now and it is sure to be moved eventually. The state farm commissioner Sacramento on Thursday mined to accept the offer of ville chamber of commerce farm. The offer comprises and the price to be paid is expected that a decision Southern pathological lab be made soon. Professor Wickson make ing statement in regard to farm site: The selection of the Day for the university farm is wise. At the close of my nation of the farms offered it as the most available of convenience of access, most frequent communication, through proximity to ma- and local railway lines and so fully answers the requi-the law in the character of ample and established irrig-ties, and because it is so representative of wide int conditions.

Los Angeles St. LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA sites near Woodland seems to to stand first because so many excellent buildings would be acquired with the land, and the utilization of those would save time and money in opening instructional work on the land. Another site which was commended, chiefly because of proximity to the university was the tract near Walnut creek; but it was for the commission to decide just what weight should be attached to proximity. It is possible that the confusion of interests in Contra Costa county may have obscured the claims of that site. The fact remains, however, that Davisville is chosen as the most available from all points of view and most thoroughly representative of irrigated interior valley conditions which the law contemplated.
