All Anaheim people are strongly urged to sign the petition, for it will certainly have some effect and give us a better service. A new clause was added to the petition, asking for a better steam service between Los Angeles and Newport Beach. The $1000 left in the advertising fund of the county was mentioned, and it was decided to petition the supervisors for it, so that the whole county could be benefited. Several good talks were made in favor of the petition. During the month the state board of assessors had visited Orange county and desired five appraisers appointed to put a value on certain tracts of land unknown to anybody but themselves. Each chamber of commerce and improvement association was requested to appoint one appraiser, so that each district will be represented. A committee of seven was appointed to confer with a committee from Riverside and these two committees will work together for the building of a good road through Santa Ana canyon. The association will petition Senators Perkins and Flint and Congressmen McLachlan and Smith to use their influence to prevent Collins of Balboa from filling in the channel at Newport Beach so that the opening will only be 600 feet wide. The association will use its influence to make the channel at least 1500 feet wide, so that the larger vessels can harbor at Newport. The next meeting will be held at Huntington Beach on Wednesday May 26th. Anaheim citizens are cordially invited. E. H.

Lapier of Fullerton has brought suit against the Edison Electric Co., and the Fullertop Domestic Water Co., in the amount of $100,000, as compensation for injuries received by Lapier on Sept. 26, 1908, at which time Lapier's son Lucian, aged 18, was killed and himself badly injured as the result of coming in contact with live wires belonging to the Edison Electric Co., over a roof belonging to the water company, which roof the two men were repairing. His attorneys are Davis & Rush of Los Angeles. The complaint does not refer in any manner to the death of Lucian Lapier. It recites that Lapier was employed by the Fullerton Domestic Water Co., and that defendants negligently allowed a current of electricity to run over wires that came in contact with Lapier's body. Lapier fell to the roof and slid from it to the ground. His injuries were such, so he asserts, that he lost the use of both hands and one foot was amputated; that he was injured for life, and that he was damaged $100,000 worth, for which amount the complaint asks the court to give judgment. Dr. C. L. Rich of Fullerton has sued to recover the sum of $1100 for professional services from D. Silke and Jennie Silke.
