City Trustees The city trustees met in regular session Thursday evening; present Trustees Rust, Kroeger, Fiscus, Darling and Stock. Manager Backs of the Home telephone company addressed a letter saying the damage to the sidewalk on South Los Angeles, caused by company employees, had been ordered repaired. A letter was received from B. F. Kierulff Co. of Oakland protesting because their bid for pumps and motors was rejected at the last meeting of the board. The firm was under the impression their bid had not been given due consideration, but such is not the case. The bid was rejected simply because it did not comply with the provisions of the advertisement calling for bids. A communication was received from Henry Kroeger Jr. and Pauline Kroeger requesting that the laying of sidewalk on East Center street be deferred temporarily. A project is being entertained looking to the resubdivision of their tract on that street, and the petitioners made their request in view of the fact that should the tract be divided and new streets laid out, they would be put to quite a monetary loss to construct a sidewalk on Center street at present. The board granted their request and the sidewalk will be temporarily held in abeyance. A petition signed by R. Spoerl, J. Ziegler, Mary Husmann, C. W. Martin and R. Wisser, protesting against the opening of Oak street from Los Angeles street south, was received. The petition was tabled. A diagram and map, showing the creation of Oak street, and obliterating the alley, was received and accepted. The new thoroughfare will be opened in the block between Center and... A petition signed by R. Spoerl, J. Ziegler, Mary Husmann, C. W. Martin and R. Wisser, protesting against the opening of Oak street from Los Angeles street south, was received. The petition was tabled. A diagram and map, showing the creation of Oak street, and obliterating the alley, was received and accepted. The new thoroughfare will be opened in the block between Center and Chestnut streets, extending south from Los Angeles street. A communication was received from H. Deutsch of Los Angeles, requesting that the map of his tract now on file remain unchanged. So ordered. Contract with United Iron Works of Oakland, and bond of $525, for the installing of pumps and motors at new water works, accepted. Permission was given Anaheim Union water company to lay 20-inch pipe line on South Center street, in lieu of open ditch, near Gates' place. It was ordered that the engineer at power house furnish council a monthly statement of all outside work performed in that department. A car of street oil was ordered, same to be used on streets in most need of repairs. Horticultural Commissioner Nebelung appeared before the board and stated that acacia trees on East Center street and the camphor trees on Broadway were infested with scale. He further stated that the commission would order the trees fumigated. Mr. Nebelung stated that "Johnson" grass is getting quite a foothold here, especially on East street. The grass grows rapidly and is hard to exterminate. It was said that even after the grass is pulled up by the roots and cast aside it would take root and grow again. And one gentleman who is fighting the weed says even after you pull the roots and burn them, the "ashes will sprout in the spring," so hard is the grass to kill. It was suggested that all property owners make concerted action against this grass and all other noxious plant growth, with a view to cleaning up the city. Weed killing brigades are quite the fashion now and the trustees suggest that one be formed here. It is proposed that on the 15th inst. everybody turn out and wipe out the weeds. Some fifty years ago a Germans came in to suv brush and cactus. They tensively in grape cultivation flourished exceeding grape scale struck this in solar plexus. Most of them were supplanted by citrus later by the English things have flourished in each has come the evil pest.

Mr. Bryan has made this statement in an authorized interview, evidently in the hope that it will increase his personal prestige and obliterate the last remnant of difference between himself and the leader of the republican party. There lingers back of his change of front, however, a radical threat. He would have the railroads valued exactly on the basis of the money that has been put into them, allowing nothing for the appreciation of land values. With railroad rates fixed on this basis of valuation, passenger and freight charges would be immensely cheapened. But there is a serious question whether such a violent upset- Homer Calkins, a pioneer of Dickinson, and for years a member of the board of supervisors, is a labor rancher, and his weight of seem to sit lightly as he applies himself to the work ever present on ranch.
