TO TREBLE SIZE OF CITY FROM 2¼ SQUARE MILES TO MORE THAN 6 SQUARE MILES Lines to Be Extended East a Mile, West to Garden Grove Road, North and South a Half Mile To increase the city limits from its present area of 2¼ square miles to something over six square miles was the subject discussed at a special meeting between the chamber of commerce and a committee of city trustees on Monday evening. There were present Wickett, Schumacher Thomas and Rose of the former body and Fiscus, Gates and Stock of the latter. Dr. Wickett presided and Gus Schumacher acted as secretary. The chairman stated the object of the meeting to be a conference between representatives of both bodies in reference to petitions now before the city trustees asking enlargement of the city limits. On calling for expressions of opinion from those present, the matter was discussed in its various details. Mr. Ficsus said a number of petitions had been presented to the city board by persons living outside the of the northeast city corner, a mile east of the southeast of the city. To the south the new boundary be the section line half a mile of East street and running to intersection with Ball road forms the southern city line west of Walnut street. Westward the line will extend a mile west to the Garden road. The present city lines parallel to section lines. A committee consisting of Dietrich and Wickett was to further confer with the city trustees, to define termine upon the enlarged line to prepare petitions for them. The new city, if the same proved by the people will than three times the presence of Anaheim. The limits are miles north and south, and the distance east and west. The limits, according to City Steward, who went over the morning, will contain more square miles. It is reported that people west of the Garden Grove rose favorable to being included w city, and it is possible the line be enlarged, although the has declined to take on more the meeting to be a conference between representatives of both bodies in reference to petitions now before the city trustees asking enlargement of the city limits. On calling for expressions of opinion from those present, the matter was discussed in its various details. Mr. Ficsus said a number of petitions had been presented to the city board by persons living outside the city limits requesting that their property be annexed to the city. These people wanted electric lights, city water and fire protection, and he thought the time was ripe for enlarging the city to embrace this adjacent territory. He referred to the growth of the city surroundings during recent years, and said if these outsiders were not annexed we should soon hear of a South Anaheim or West Anaheim. Mr. Gates indicated the manner in which outlying territory could be taken in, saying it required a vote by the outs as well as by the ins. A petition must be signed by outsiders asking certain lands to be embraced within the corporation, and subsequently elections are held both inside the city as well as in the territory seeking admission. A majority vote is necessary at each election. Trustee Stock, referring to the proposed northern territory, said that care should be exercised not to acquire any of the wash lands nor the county bridge on the road from here to Fullerton. Instead of making the new boundary the section line north, he favored a jog, leaving out certain lands which might later desire a bridge across the wash at a point west of the present county bridge. The following lines were after discussion tentatively decided upon: The section line north of the city, with such modifications as may be later agreed upon. This line is 150 feet north of the present northeast corner of the city and half a mile north of the northwest corner. The city lies diagonally with section and township lines. The enlarged town will conform to these latter subdivisions. To the east the new boundary line will be Placentia road, a mile east CLASS REUNION Graduates of '05 Have Elected Meeting The graduating class of 1905 Anaheim high school held its annual reunion Monday Dec. 28, at the home of Miss Fischer on North Lemon street fine program was arranged, in a unique prize contest, the awarded being very artistic and useful.

There were moreover added attractions in the laying of the corner stone of the new public library by the Masonic Grand lodge, and a high school basket-ball game which drew a number of the younger set in autos and carriages from several points in the county.

While the first Market Day was in the nature of an experiment, yesterday's concourse proved that the efforts of the local M. & M. association to bring producer and consumer together was crowned with success and would be continued once a month hereafter. Orange county farmers long since learned that Anaheim offered them better prices for their wares and at the same time reciprocated with better values for their money than any town in the county, bar none. This fact had added proof yesterday when many sales of stock and produce were reported. Producers were enthusiastic over the efforts of business men to find them purchasers for their goods, and in the whole a superior grade of livestock, poultry and other offerings were made. On the other hand stores were crowded during the day and in the afternoon extra forces of clerks had to be pressed into service in order to wait upon the throng seeking to make purchases. People were in town from Los Alamitos, Huntington Beach, the peatlands, San Juan; Olive and other near-by communities, and Santa Ana was not without its representation. Local stores advertised discounts on prices and did a lively trade. The day as a business getter was a red letter day from morning until late at night.

It may be authoritatively stated that neither desires the office, nor is in any way an aspirant for the place. Selinger can have the place if he will signify a willingness to accept it, but declines for various reasons to consider it. He prefers to remain in his present position of second lieutenant, or may be persuaded to accept first lieutenant, but refuses to assent to the wishes of his friends to elect him commanding officer. Ahlborn also declines to yield to the wishes of friends, in and out of the company, to become a candidate for the office. His business claims his undivided attention and he declines to take on further responsibilities. He has been solicited by a numerously signed petition of members of the company to become its commanding officer, but this week again declined. He is personally popular with brigade and regimental headquarters; and Col. Schrieber has on several occasions requested him to permit his name to be used. The meeting, which assembles after this issue is at press, will consider the situation to the end that a solution of the problem may be arrived at. The election for captain occurs the evening of Jan. 7th, and unless a captain be chosen there exists an extreme probability the company will be mustered out.
