LOCATION—South of Santa Fe WALKER MOVED TO ADJOURN When Good-Roads Discussion Became Interesting at Buena Park, the Meeting Abruptly Terminated, with Gobs of Harmony Prevailing The good-roads propaganda popped loose according to schedule at Buena Park on Thursday evening. The meeting convened in the upper hall of the schoolhouse and was attended by good-roads men from Santa Ana and this city. The attendance was not large, but before adjournment a spirited discussion of the subject in hand was engaged in. A number of Buena Park residents were present. D. H. Thomas, the Santa Ana banker, made a good presiding officer, and J. Harry Whitaker left nothing to be desired as secretary. A string of automobiles, their headlights glaring like a group of twin bullseyes, lined the highway when the shades of nightfall had closed in about the creamery town. A big touring car lay helpless in the thoroughfare, the occupants engaged in jettisoning the cargo. Before the crowd went upstairs to the meeting room some one came up and asked whose automobile it was. Clyde Bishop, the boy orator of the El Modena crags, said he could not see whose car it was as he came by, but he saw that its bottom had dropped out. "I am not sufficiently versed with the mechanism of the thing to tell what part of the apparatus is broken, but I believe they call it the incubator." Mr. Thomas on calling the meeting joyous refrain, saying that were what the county needed things else in this world. Replying to a question, said it would probably reyears for the commission miles of paved highway. amount of money necessary would probably be $600,000. Prof. A. A. Mills asked be done in event a deficits "Suppose there was not ene to complete the work laid would the unfinished part be completed?" Mr. Nickey said more be issued, and Mr. Bishop sible contractors would be to finish their jobs whether out on them or not. Prof. Mills was anxious where all these good roads to be built. He felt, he sa committee in declining to particular phase of the had rather got off on the It didn't look good to him peared to regard it as an conceal on the part of the This called out a hot retor Wotten who repudiated the committee had sought anything. The discussion object was altogether premature for the commission would lay up this matter, and the com absolutely nothing to do with This settled Prof. Mills'. The editor said: "I should ask Col. Finley, in all friend sincerity, this question: has at the request of good ple mapped out 86 miles for paving in Orange county like to ask him how much o age is located in the Third district?" Before the crowd went upstairs to the meeting room some one came up and asked whose automobile it was. Clyde Bishop, the boy orator of the El Modena crags, said he could not see whose car it was as he came by, but he saw that its bottom had dropped out. "I am not sufficiently versed with the mechanism of the thing to tell what part of the apparatus is broken, but I believe they call it the incubator." Mr. Thomas on calling the meeting to order spoke briefly of its object, saying the committee was going about the county feeling the pulse of the people relative to bonding the county for good roads. He introduced Mr. Bishop, who explained the legal provisions of the act which is now generally understood throughout the county. Col. Finley referred to the advantage of having good roads, adding that the bond issue would impose but trivial burdens upon the taxpayers. A man paying taxes upon $1000 of assessed valuation would pay, he said, $2.30 the first year as his prorata of the cost of these highways. This amount would lessen each year, and before the end of forty years the annual payment for the bonds would be next to nothing. Moreover, the good roads would increase the assessed valuation of the county from its present value of $18,000,000 to $50,000,000. The annual tax would therefore decrease, and would be a mere trifle. Rev. Mr. Wotten next spoke in support of the propaganda, avowing his total failure to understand why anyone should oppose bonds for good roads. Mr. Wotten always makes a good spiel about paved roads, and his caustic verbiage is calculated to make his opponent feel like a bloomer. S. O. Walker, the celebrated glad-handed who has just returned from a very pleasant trip to the marvelous land of the Rio Sodium Chloridus, arose and said impressively that he had been up and down the highways of the Park and had yet failed to find the first intelligent voter who opposed the bonds. A few—a very few—had been skeptical as to the length of time the bonds would run (forty years), but when he had thoroughly explained to them that at the end of that time the subsequent proceedings would interest them no more, they immediately fell in line, and now from McNally’s to Cypress the cry is for bonds. Mr. Walker up this matter, and the company absolutely nothing to do with it. This settled Prof. Mills’ letter. The editor said: “I should ask Col. Finley, in all friendliness, this question: O has at the request of good plea mapped out 86 miles for paving in Orange county like to ask him how much age is located in the Third district?” Col. Finley replied that he ed out 86 miles of roadway, segregated them by district could not say how many miles this supervisor district. The editor said the reply factory. Col. Finley—“I should Mr. Kuchel a question: I map of Orange county and you mark off roads to be paid ask Mr. Kuchel if he marks roads and if he will state to ing where they are.” The editor—“I will answer with pleasure. I map road from Santa Ana to San miles; another from San Huntington Beach, 14 miles from Santa Ana to Garden Westminster and Bay City a fourth road to Orange, and Olive, 10 miles. Here miles. I add 14 miles to th Huntington Beach road twice as much as any other county. Thus we have a miles. Add three miles to eern end of this district, a bring these roads up to 81 of us, and only 5 miles, ac the mileage Col. Finley has for this supervisor district.” Mr. Thomas—Why don’t by laying out roads in the no of the county? The editor—Because the will be dominated by Santa you people will stand for upon these roads being built these various sections, and doubt all these roads will be Prof. Mills took a hand in ant discussion. “I would like to ask Mr what his ideas are relative roads in this precinct.” Mr. Walker said he be main roadway leading from Park to the Los Angeles been up and down the highways of the Park and had yet failed to find the first intelligent voter who opposed the bonds. A few—a very few—had been skeptical as to the length of time the bonds would run (forty years), but when he had thoroughly explained to them that at the end of that time the subsequent proceedings would interest them no more, they immediately fell in line, and now from McNally's to Cypress the cry is for bonds. Mr. Walker knows who would make a bully good commissioner to see that this half million dollar fund is honestly expended. J. B. Rea caught the infection and solemnly assured the meeting the only man in Anaheim opposed to the bonds was the editor of this paper. "I have been to Santa Barbara recently," he continued, "and they are going to vote a half million dollars there for good roads unanimously. Those whose property is not reached by the paved roads favor the bonds, for they say the money in the general road fund can then be used for the improvement of roads in their neighborhood." W. G. Potter added his voice to the rejoicing, saying the length of roads in Orange county was too great for permanent work with funds now available. Bonds were the thing for roads, and good roads make a county. Mr. Potter is sanguine he can pick out the finest good-roads commissioner you ever saw. "Dr. Hasson," called the chair; "let us hear from Dr. Hasson." That unfeeling gentleman replied quietly he had nothing to say, adding he would reserve his criticisms until a later date, when he might probably have something to offer upon the subject. The doctor evidently wants to know where those good roads are to be located, but it seems he didn't know the meeting had nothing whatever to do with that. F. P. Nickey added his voice to the TO ENLARGE SCHOOL DISTRICT Highschool Trustees Will Invite Adjoining Districts to Enter Union Highschool District—Outside Students May be Charged Nominal Tuition Fee The trustees of the newly established Anaheim Union highschool district met at the highschool building on Wednesday evening and effected a temporary organization by electing J. H. Clabaugh president and William Schwenckert clerk. There were present Trustees Enearl, Clabaugh, Schwenckert and Spake of the Anaheim district and Trustees Evans and Wessler of Loara. Mr. Spake is the newly elected trustee of this district and does not take his seat until July 1st. Guy Duckworth, the third Loara trustee, has removed from the district and failed to tender his resignation. This is looked for, and his successor will probably be soon appointed in the person of W. L. Foote. County School Superintendent Carpenter was present and assisted in the preliminary organization of the district. Trustee Schwenckert, speaking relative to changing the name of the district to the Anaheim Union Highschool district, said that inasmuch as bonds of the district had been issued, he doubted if a change in the name could be legally made. Mr. Carpenter was of opinion that the supervisors could pass an ordinance empowering the district to change its name in fact, he had already known of matter, and the committee had only nothing to do with it. settled Prof. Mills' hash. Miller said: "I should like to ask Finley, in all friendliness and this question: Col. Finley the request of good-roads people out 86 miles of roadway in Orange county. I should ask him how much of this mileage in the Third supervisor." Finley replied that he had maped 58 miles of roadway, but had not used them by districts, and it says how many miles were in supervisor district. Miller said the reply was satisfied. Finley—"I should like to askhel a question: I sent you a Orange county and asked that take off roads to be paved. I will Kuchel if he marked off those roads if he will state to this meeting they are." Miller—"I will answer the question pleasure. I mapped out a San Santa Ana to San Juan, 20 another from Santa Ana to Anton Beach, 14 miles; a third Santa Ana to Garden Grove, Oster and Bay City, 20 miles; a road to Orange, El Modena, 10 miles. Here we have 64 add 14 miles to this, because Bellington Beach road will cost much as any other in the area. Thus we have a total of 78 Add three miles to the south of this district, and it will these roads up to 81 miles south and only 5 miles, according toauge Col. Finley has allowed us, supervisor district." Thomas—Why don't you begin going out roads in the northern end county? Miller—Because the commission dominated by Santa Ana, and people will stand for and insist these roads being built. So will various sections, and I have no these roads will be built. Mills took a hand in this pleas-sion. Miller—like to ask Mr. Walker his ideas are relative to good this precinct." Walker said he believed the roadway leading from Buena the Los Angeles county line Trustee Schwenckert, speaking relative to changing the name of the district to the Anaheim Union Highschool district, said that inasmuch as bonds of the district had been issued, he doubted if a change in the name could be legally made. Mr. Carpenter was of opinion that the supervisors could pass an ordinance empowering the district to change its name; in fact, he had already known of such action being taken. Trustee Clabaugh joined in this opinion, and Mr. Carpeater was delegated authority to procure legal advice upon the subject and to report later. The board discussed the propriety of inviting Garden Grove, Magnolia and Centralia school districts to join the Union highschool district. Students from these outlying districts attend the highschool without charge for tuition. The present school is crowded to the limits of the building, and next year students attending from outside the district may have to pay a nominal fee, as in other highschool districts, in order to secure admission. The purpose of the trustees is to enlarge the building by the addition of another story. This will have to be done if students from outlying sections attend, and the contention is made that these outside districts should be agreeable to standing their just proportion of the expense. Principal Walker asked that salaries of highschool teachers who had taught three years be increased from $950 to $1000 per year. This action was taken by the board, and Mr. Walker's salary was raised from $1440 to $1500 per year. The salary for highschool teachers has been $95 per month the first year and $100 per month the second year. Nine months and a half of school is the allotted term. The board employed Miss Walker, sister of the principal, and Herman Steinbach, as teachers of English and of German and Latin respectively, to take the places of Misses Wilde and Bailey, who retire from the faculty. Roy Firebaugh was graduated by order of the board, although on account of the recent death of his father he has been out of school for two weeks and cannot enter the final exams. The young student's praises were sung by Apple will stand for and insist these roads being built. So will various sections, and I have no plans for these roads will be built. Mills took a hand in this pleas-ession. Should like to ask Mr. Walker his ideas are relative to good this precinct." Walker said he believed the roadway leading from Buena Vista to the Los Angeles county line is paved. However this is only north of a mile in length. He also the road running through the would be paved, and that Orange avenue should be simulated. He also believed the road south from the Park is paved. Whether two roads should be on the Los Angeles county line—from the Park and the other La Habra—Mr. Bishop inter-ment said there was nothing be-committee about the Camino (the highway referred to), and any roads could be paved leading to county to another if the peo-jected. In the discussion momentarily more interesting, Walker said: "I think this meeting her adjourn." Meeting thereupon adjourned, the confusion and gobs of harvailing. No motion was made regarding the good-roads bonding. Mary Whitaker appointed S. O. George B. Miller and George D. To circulate petitions for signa-oughout the precinct request-supervisors to appoint the boards commission. The lamentable features of the Gould divorce case is the re-Count Boni de Castellane is so this country to testify. The board employed Miss Walker, sister of the principal, and Herman Steinbach, as teachers of English and of German and Latin respectively, to take the places of Misses Wilde and Bailey, who retire from the faculty. Roy Firebaugh was graduated by order of the board, although on account of the recent death of his father he has been out of school for two weeks and cannot enter the final exams. The young student's praises were sung by the principal and trustees, he being a particularly bright youth, as well as a member of the championship debating team. H. W. Comstock was re-employed as janitor of the highschool building at a salary of $50 per month. The board decided to reopen the highschool, after the summer vacation, Sept. 9th, and the grammar grades Sept. 16th. The board decided that receipts from school plays hereafter should be devoted to defraying expenses of commencement, and not, as heretofore, be appropriated by students. Teachers for the next school year have been appointed as follows: J. F. Walker, principal and teacher of science; Mrs. Esther Shafer, mathematics; A. T. Vinacke, history; Miss Lena L. Ingraham, drawing; Miss Edna Ames, music; Miss Belle J. Walker, English; Herman Steinbach, German and Latin. Of this faculty Miss Walker and Mr. Steinbach are new members, they succeeding Miss Wilde and Miss Bailey, resigned. Mr. Comstock was retained as janitor. The board authorized the payment of various bills and adjourned. We make a specialty of high-grade residence plumbing, and earnestly solicit an opportunity to figure work anywhere. Will M.
