MILLS FAVORS GOOD ROADS Points out Unfortunate Manner in which Committee of Education is Handling Subject — Excellent Ideas Tersely Told. No man in Orange county is more familiar with the subject of good roads than Prof. A. A. Mills of this city, and he has already set forth at length in a communication to this journal, his ideas upon this important subject. Prof. Mills has attended all the good-roads meetings in this end of the county, and has participated freely in the discussions. In last week's Fullerton Tribune, he sets forth his views upon the situation, and after saying that he favors the proposed bond issue providing the improved roads are placed with care and discernment as regards the wishes of the bulk of the tax-payers; proceeds: "At the first meeting in the north end of the county, which was held at Anaheim, the editor of the Anaheim Gazette asked that a certain eighty-eight miles of road which had been laid out by Col. Finley be made public. At all subsequent meetings in this end of the county this request was renewed, but at each one it was denied. Not only was the request not granted, but all discussions of the location of the proposed paved roads was discouraged and deemed "In the face of all this I first believe if the payed roads are properly distributed the bonds could be dried. The one thing most now is for meetings to be held several towns to discuss the loss of these roads and get the information the voters on what they want. Then to harmonize the road tween the towns, as for instance Buena Park people would like angethorpe avenue paved, wholly Fullerton would want monwealth avenue paved to connection with the "Park." "By reference to a map of county it will be seen that the lowing roads would make up 120 miles. From the county Buena Park south via West Annie Garden Grove, and Westminster Huntington Beach; from the line at West La Habra, via Lahabra, Fullerton, Anaheim and Ana to Newport Beach; from Riverside county line in San Canyon, via Olive, Orange, and El Toro to San Juan; with roads from Olinda and York Placentia and Fullerton to Park; from Placentia and Olive East Anaheim through Anaheim Buena Park and to Los Alamitos and on to the county line to connect with the Long Beach road; from Modena, via McPherson, to Tustin through Santa Ana Westminster to Bay City branches to connect with Grove and the Los Alamitos for Long Beach. At the maximum estimate of $6000 per mile the miles would cost $720,000." Gazette asked that a certain eighty-eight miles of road which had been laid out by Col. Finley be made public. At all subsequent meetings in this end of the county this request was renewed, but at each one it was denied. Not only was the request not granted, but all discussions of the location of the proposed paved roads was discouraged and deemed premature. An attempt to proceed with such a discussion at the Buena Park meeting met with a motion to adjourn by Mr. Walker of that place, though he by direct request laid out about fifteen miles the "Park" would want paved in order to get a two-thirds vote for the bonds there. Right here, Mr. Editor, I would like to say to the people of Buena Park that the object of proceeding with a discussion of the location of these paved roads was that the "Park's" interest—in common with the north end of the county—might be protected, as the "committee of education" hadn’t the slightest idea that one foot of the paved highway would be put in the "Park" district. The same might be said of the Fullerton meeting. When Mr. Chapman was talking about roads being paved in Placentia the committee hadn’t the slightest idea that there would ever be a foot of road paved there. "After the Anaheim meeting Rev. Wotton, one of the "committee of education," wrote the Anaheim Gazette of May 9th in regard to the eighty-eight miles of roads laid out by Col. Finley, and says: "His map suggests the road from Fullerton to San Juan, as the trunk line through the county, and also roads west from Santa Ana and Anaheim as far as the money will allow." This would leave Buena Park, La Habra, Olinda, Yorba, Olive, and all the country north and east of Orange without a foot of the proposed highway. Fullerton would get one and one-half miles to connect with Anaheim, while Anaheim came in on the "as and on to the county line to do with the Long Beach road; for Modena, via McPherson, to Cromwell from Tustin through Santa Ana Westminster to Bay City branches to connect with Grove and the Los Alamitos for Long Beach. At the maximum estimate of $6000 per mile the miles would cost $720,000. A $30,000 for expenses and items and it brings the amount to three quarters of a million dollars, a sum safely within our ing limit, which is about $150,000. This would give a system of roads well distributed over county and I believe would all sections. The cost to payer would be only nominal suming that the average hold the county is assessed at $200,000 is about true, the average价 for the forty years the bond run would be less than $4, in taxation for those assessed amount. Let us vote the board. A. A. M. Anaheim, June 15. Prof. Mills continues the session in the Orange Post as: "That our people are opposing the bonds is due mostly, I think the unfortunate way that the mittee of education," so called been presenting the matter committee, whose exponent Bishop on the law, Finley make-up of the roads, and Raton on the durability of them with others, have made staggered objections to having discuss the meetings in this end county the location of theseposed roads. The editor of Anaheim Gazette requested at meeting that a certain 88 mile road which had been laid by Col. Finley be made publicthe committee refused to do each meeting this request newed but each time refused attempts made to suppress cussion along this line. "However, under pressure..." San Juan, as the trunk line through the county, and also roads west from Santa Ana and Anaheim as far as the money will allow." This would leave Buena Park, La Habra, Olinda, Yorba, Olive, and all the country north and east of Orange without a foot of the proposed highway. Fullerton would get one and one-half miles to connect with Anaheim, while Anaheim came in on the "as far as the money will allow." This in connection with the strenuous objection to the discussion of location at the meetings put about 90 per cent of the voters in this end of the county against the bonds. Since the Buena Park meeting our supervisor, Mr. Linebarger, informed the writer that he would be opposed to naming the commission even were a proper petition presented to the supervisors, and hoped none would want to force the matter until there was a better prospect of carrying the bonds.

Anaheim came in on the "as far as the money will allow."

An attempt to proceed with a discussion of the location of the proposed roads, at the Buena Park meeting met with a motion to adjourn by Mr. Walker of that place, though he, in response to a direct request laid out about 15 miles of road the "Park" would want paved in order to get a two-thirds vote for the bonds there. Since the Buena Park meeting our supervisor, Mr. Linebarger, in conversation informed the writer that with the present feeling in regard to the proposed bonds he would be opposed to naming a commission, even were a proper petition filed with the board of supervisors, and that he hoped no one would want to force the matter until there were better prospects of the bonds carrying. However, I firmly believe if the roads are properly distributed, the bonds would carry." The Post, referring to the attitude of Supervisor Linebarger, states the case as follows: "The attitude of Supervisor Linebarger toward appointing a commission is right and proper and what the people would naturally expect from a supervisor who was studying their welfare. Why should money be wasted on election expenses to find out what is already apparent to every impartial observer?"

The Kelso Mines EDITOR GAZETTE.—Just a few lines to let you know that I am alive and still in the land of the rattlesnake and cactus. But I am glad to inform you that beneath the ground there is abundance of wealth. I believe that this part of San Bernardino county is coming to the front. It is in its infancy yet, but soon will develop into a great producer of mineral, containing gold, silver, lead and copper. The Kelso mine is looking well. All that is needed, is time, money and perseverance. We will have one of the greatest mines in the west. It is a great prospect, and will be a mine before long and a good one at that. It will be like San Bernardino county—bigger than all the rest around. Pass the good word to your best friends. I am not ashamed of this property, although it will take time and money to develop it into a paying mine. I will come down before long to see the old friends, and to celebrate our glorious day of independence with my family. So goodbye until then. I am, your friend, CHARLES E. JONES, Supt. Kelso Mine.
