COL. FINLEY'S STATEMENT Defines His Position Relative to Good Roads, and Says Anaheim is Bound to be Treated Right by Commission. SANTA ANA, June 3, 1907. EDITOR GAZETTE.—Dear Sir: Referring to editorial in your paper of last week, it seems that you assume that I am, in some way, in a position to speak with authority as to the location of the proposed good roads, should the people decide to ask the supervisors to appoint a commission for the purpose of outlining a system for the county. If that is your belief you are certainly mistaken in the matter, as I have no more right to outline roads or suggest their location than you or any other private citizen of this county. Should the supervisors decide to appoint a commission for that purpose, and they should (which they doubtless will) ask for suggestions from the taxpayers of the county, I may then appear before them and give such information as I may possess, that will be of benefit to them in arriving at a proper location of the roads. Until that time comes it would be the height of presumption on my part to assume to suggest where the roads should be located. The only thing that I have done in the matter so far was at the request of the good-roads committee, when they asked me to make an estimate of the number of miles necessary to connect the principal routes. Anaheim, Cal. Regular meeting of the directors of the Anaheim company, with the following present, namely, Director Bradford, Drake, Hale and Sherwood. The minutes of the printing were read and approved. On motion it was resolved official date for beginning 1 be June 10th and that water remain at 60 cents livered before the run. The report of the final was received and filed were ordered drawn in various demands therein. The reports of the secreter and superintendent turn received and filed. On motion of Hale the secretary were authorized warrant for $4.69 in favor Lumber Co. in lieu of one secretary was instructed ment on the lost warrant.

The deeds of right of veceived and accepted from Buckard. the county, I may then appear before them and give such information as I may possess, that will be of benefit to them in arriving at a proper location of the roads. Until that time comes it would be the height of presumption on my part to assume to suggest where the roads should be located. The only thing that I have done in the matter so far was at the request of the good-roads committee, when they asked me to make an estimate of the number of miles necessary to connect the principal towns and populated centers of the county. In complying with their request I did not attempt to say what particular roads between these points should be improved, but only to state that they could be connected by 88 miles of roads. In explanation of that estimate I did state that it included a PORTION of the El Camino Real, as I felt safe in assuming that, as this road (by the addition of a half mile into Orange) would connect the four largest cities of the county. Of course it was presumptious on my part to assume even this much, as the commission might include any, all or none of this road. As a good roads enthusiast I do not wish at this time to becloud the issue by injecting into it the question of particular location of the roads. The question now is whether we want the supervisors to appoint a commission to recommend roads for improvement, and that means whether or not we want good roads at all, as there is, under the law, no other means of securing them than by the appointment of the commission and the voting of bonds. If there are any of us opposed to the good roads movement, under any consideration, the thing to do is to decline to sign the petition when presented. If we are in favor of building the roads, if properly distributed, the thing to do is to reserve our criticism until the report of the commission is filed and if it does not suit us to exercise the right of every American citizen and vote against the bonds. The matter for discussion is now limited to the question of appointment of a commission. The question of location can only be intelligently discussed when some one with authority to locate has been appointed. While many people of Anaheim now seem to be opposed to the movement for fear they will not receive their proportion of the improvement, I do cise the right of every American citizen and vote against the bonds. The matter for discussion is now limited to the question of appointment of a commission. The question of location can only be intelligently discussed when some one with authority to locate has been appointed. While many people of Anaheim now seem to be opposed to the movement for fear they will not receive their proportion of the improvement, I do not anticipate that this opposition will continue after the report of the commission is made, as I have confidence in the integrity and justice of the board of supervisors and any commission that they may see fit to appoint. Anaheim, from the nature of its location, I am satisfied, will receive as much or more benefit from the roads, than any other community. Yours very truly, S. H. FINLEY.

Minutes of Water Board Anaheim, Cal., June 1, 1907. Regular meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company, with the following members present, namely, Directors Crowther, Oxford, Drake, Hale, McLauchlin Sherwood. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and approved. The motion it was resolved that the final date for beginning of run No June 10th and that the price of water remain at 60 cents for water deferred before the run. The report of the finance committee received and filed warrants ordered drawn in payment of the demands therein recommended. The reports of the secretary, treasurer and superintendent were each in receipt and filed. Motion of Hale the president and Secretary were authorized to issue a grant for $4.69 in favor of the Ganahl River Co. in lieu of one lost and the Secretary was instructed to stop pay on the lost warrant. Communication from J. E. Walker that a cement ditch be put in his ranch, he offering to do the necessary team work. The matter was referred to the sluicing of sand quarches onto his land. Referred to the superintendent and the key to answer. Illeges to purchase cement of the city was granted to J. E. Walker, A. Tombes and Wm. McLauchlin. Deeds of right of way were re- and accepted from Gates and Will Appeal Henry Hildebrandt says he will appeal the case which was decided against him in the superior court on Monday, when W. S. Tipton secured judgment against him in $145 for attorney's fees. Tipton sued to recover $200. The case was heard by Judge Densmore of Riverside, sitting for Judge West, who is ill. "How did you come out with the case?" he was asked. Well, how do you suppose a jack rabbit would fare in a field with a dozen hounds after him?" he laconically replied. Tipton was represented by Tipton & Callor, Hildebrandt by Head & Ames. J. Horace Bell, the eminent county-seat biologist, was present and gave expert testimony upholding Tipton in his fee bill. Tipton had been Hildebrandt's attorney and when the latter sought to lose him, Tipton would not lose, and brought suit to recover fees to the amount stated. Hildebrandt says his name was forged to a document presented in the case. Tide of Immigration A comparison of colonist travel to California since the cheap one-way rate was established for spring and autumn seasons, in 1902, shows that there has not only been a steady increase each year, but that during the present spring season the daily average was considerably higher than during the same period in any previous year. In 1906 the same increase was noted above the number for the previous year. In 1902, when the spring and autumn rates were inaugurated, the total for the season of 61 days was 19,801, or a daily average of 324.6. In At Inspection Business will be a satisfaction to every-have it from the lips of Sec-Wilson himself that the meat business is on a sound and that the public is getting any reason to hope from government supervision of the big houses. The secretary of nature has just been on a tour west and rounded up all the great inspectors for a talk in so. He reports that the in- work is going forward satily; that there have been a sort of modern and sanitary big houses built since the law to effect less than a year ago. Electric Railway Rumors Garden Grove Gazette. Plans are now being drawn and surveys made which will give Garden Grove another electric road. We understand that the cannery at Huntington Beach proposes building an electric line from that place through Garden Grove to Anaheim. It seems their present territory is too small to supply the necessary produce. Hence the new line to tap this rich country. This will be of great benefit to Garden Grove in that it will create a new industry among our ranchers and give another autumn seasons, in 1902, shows that there has not only been a steady increase each year, but that during the present spring season the daily average was considerably higher than during the same period in any previous year. In 1906 the same increase was noted above the number for the previous year. In 1902, when the spring and autumn rates were inaugurated, the total for the season of 61 days was 19,801, or a daily average of 324.6. In 1903 this total for the season increased to 50,500 in 121 days, or an average of 417 a day. During the 61 days of the spring season of 1904 the total arrivals amounted to 26,649, or a daily average of 436.7. In 1905 there were 76 days of the season and a total of 39,279 people, making an average of 506.8. In 1906, notwithstanding the fact that this was the spring of the San Francisco disaster, there was a total of 35,-452 during the fifty-two days, or an average of 643 a day, while last fall this average continued almost as high, being 605 a day for 76 days. The California Promotion committee shows that while there was a big fire in San Francisco last year, it has not disturbed the ideas of the people, and they are coming stronger, for during the 61 days of present spring season there has been a total of 48,251 people come to California on colonists tickets, or a daily average of 791. This is within 1800 of the number that the committee predicted would come this spring. When it is remembered that these figures are from one road alone it will be seen that California is receiving much attention from new settlers, and the prediction of the committee, made at the beginning of the year that this would be a banner year, seems approaching realization.

White Fly Appears An up-state paper makes the astonishing statement that the Florida white fly has become established in one of the northern citrus-growing counties. Growers all over the state, though startled by this announcement yet hoped there may be some mistake in this matter. We have no particulars at hand as to the extent of this invasion or its means of introduction. Yuba county is a long distance from Southern California, and our horticultural laws and ordinances here are more rigidly enforced than in the north, but this emergency should be handled with extreme energy and thoroughness just the same. Every southern county should redouble its efforts to prevent the introduction of this awful pest. Mr. and Mrs. Anson visited friends in Hollywood yesterday. De Labal Cream Separator for sale.

Some weeks ago complaint was made to the city council by residents of West Washington avenue that an open ditch there was dangerous to children, that property owners had sold out and moved away from the neighborhood because they were afraid their children would fall into the ditch and drown. The council asked the irrigation company to put its ditch underground. The litigation committee of the water company reported that it would put the ditch underground, but that Santa Ana would have to stand half of the expense, otherwise the water company will stand suit.
