All members were present, viz. Trustees Rust, Fiscus, Stock, Darling, Kroeger. Engineer Schenck presented plans of the new electric light and water power-house, together with voluminous specifications, which were read to the board by Clerk Merritt. A lengthy discussion followed their reading, at conclusion of which the board decided to call for bids for erection of the building. Bids will be opened at a meeting to be held the evening of February 19th. Schenck was asked by the board as to the cost of the building and replied it could be built inside the estimate of $4000.

Failed to Identify Three suspected footpads are held in the Los Angeles jail on suspicion of having perpetrated the Newport bank robbery and other similar robberies near Los Angeles the past month or two. A report reached here on Friday that the men had confessed, under severe sweating, and had admitted doing the hold-up of Hart's saloon here six weeks ago. Bird Robertson, who waited upon one of the three hold-up men the night of the robbery, and was later relieved of his watch and $6 in money, went to Los Angeles on Monday for the purpose if possible of identifying the man. He saw the men in custody, but after a careful scrutiny of each declared he could not identify his man. Two of the men were arrested one night last week while acting suspiciously. The third escaped, but was taken the next day. On being accosted by the officer they attempted to draw their guns, and a shooting was imminent prospect. The officer proved to be quicker than the others, and he succeeded in handcuffing two. The third man ran off. When searched the men were found to have burglars' tools upon them.

Two of the men were arrested one night last week while acting suspiciously. The third escaped, but was taken the next day. On being accosted by the officer they attempted to draw their guns, and a shooting was in imminent prospect. The officer proved to be quicker than the others, and he succeeded in handcuffing two. The third man ran off. When searched the men were found to have burglars' tools upon them. One man carried a vial of nitro-glycerine. All were armed. Their arrest gave rise to rumors that they were implicated in the bank robberies, and a later rumor was to effect they had confessed. Mr. Robertson declared on his return from Los Angeles that the men had not confessed, and that they were probably not the men who robbed Hart's place here. Thought It Was the Japs Marshal Steadman has hit upon a novel plan for directing attention to the fact that monthly water, light and license taxes are due, by hoisting from the masthead of the city hall a white flag decorated with large colored letters announcing that fact to the passing wayfarer. The other day a citizen espied the flag and was unable to make out just what it meant. "What's that flag out for? Something about the Japs? I can see the letters 'SE,' but can't just make out what the rest is." "That's the new water, light, and license flag put up by the Marshal to tell people their payments are due." It wasn't the Japs, but when the flag goes up, it's just about as bad. Mrs. Fanny Cox and son Eugene of Pasadena are spending a week visiting Mr. and Mrs. Guy Duckworth.
