$7500 BONDS FOR PAVING CITY TRUSTEES DECIDE TO CALL MUNICIPAL ELECTION Tim Carroll protests against further paving unless City Will agree to maintain pavements free of future expense to property owners for repairs—Joseph Backa Asks Payment for Paving in Front of Recently Opened Alley — Permits The city trustees at their regular meeting Thursday evening voted unanimously to call an election for the issuance of $7500 in bonds for the purpose of paving the street intersections on Center street from Lomon to West Anaheim. City Engineer Steward estimated the cost at nearly $7000, not including the intersection of Elizabeth and Center streets, as it is proposed to close Elizabeth street. There is a probability, however, that the proposition will fail, which would add nearly $300 to the expense. The routine work of the trustees was enlivened somewhat by the appearance of Tim Carroll on the floor, who registered a vigorous objection of the paving. Simon Lybarger, frame building on West Broadway; $2500. T. S. Grimshaw, alteration in frame building on West Broadway; $1000. S. P. Ry. Co, frame packing-house on Santa Ana street; $2500.

The committee w three absent. The question was as For calling a Diogenes Dobson Santa Ana, A. A. A. A. Lester of Against calling Fred West of Buena Park on to West Anaheim. City Engineer Steward estimated the cost at nearly $7000, not including the intersection of Elizabeth and Center streets, as it is proposed to close Elizabeth street. There is a probability, however, that the proposition will fail, which would add nearly $300 to the expense. The routine work of the trustees was enlivened somewhat by the appearance of Tim Carroll on the floor, who registered a vigorous objection to a further extension of the paving on Center street unless the trustees would bind the city to keep the same in repair, thus relieving the property owners of any future expense in the matter. His protest was referred to the committee on public improvements. Mr. Carroll also called the attention of the board to the fact that the recent widening of West Center street had placed a beautiful row of palms, which he planted in front of his property some years ago, in such a position that they must either be destroyed, moved, or the sidewalk narrowed in order to give them sufficient room in the curb. His eloquence in defense of his trees was wasted, however, as the board, before his arrival, had voted to move the trunks into the curb at the city's expense. Mr. Carroll concluded his speech with the statement that he was the owner of a strip of land extending from Santa Ana to South streets, a distance of thirteen hundred feet, and he offered to make the city a deed for a six and one-fourth foot strip off the front for a row of trees. Joseph Backs appeared before the board with a petition of protest relative to the proposed alley north of Center street, between Los Angeles and Lemon streets. He stated in his petition that he had paid for paving the street fronting this strip, and asked that the money be refunded. Thursday, January 27, was set for hearing Mr. Backs' petition. A communication was read complaining that some person was maintaining a fence across Sabina and Paulina streets, between Sycamore and Cypress. The public improvements committee was instructed to investigate the matter. City Marshal Steadman reported money collected for water, light and licenses, as follows: Water ... $641.95 Light ... 2017.69 Licenses ... 543.60 Total ... $3208.24 Paris; and to be prepared to read, or in case of unavoidable absence, to send in, short essays on the following topics: Louis XIV—Miss Walker.

INJURED IN Charles Clark, ranch some miles trained a fractured painful laceration a runaway accident day when his home hitched to a Heying Brothers unmanageable area across the street... ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1910 ROAD BONDS FAVORED, 5 TO 4 ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE PASS IT UP TO SUPERVISORS A Tie Vote In Committee, 4 to 4, Broken by Chairman Voting With Bond Boosters—Highway Commission Will Probably Be Named — Linebarger Opposes Road Bonds By a tie vote of 4 to 4, which was broken by Chairman Bennett of Tustin voting affirmatively, the good roads committee of the associated chambers of commerce decided at a meeting held at Santa Ana on Wednesday evening last to present to the supervisors petitions asking for calling an election to vote upon an issue of bonds for paved highways in Orange county. Nine members of the committee were present, and three absent. The vote upon the question was as follows: For calling a bond election — Dr. Diogenes Dobson and Col. Coulter of Santa Ana, A. A. Mills of Anaheim, A. A. Lester of Balboa—4. Against calling a bond election—Fred West of Fullerton, McComber of Buena Park, Jenks of Garden the drugstore at the time. He ran and caught the horse, and held fast until the opposite sidewalk was reached. Mrs. Clark jumped from the buggy, sustaining no injuries. In front of Fuhrberg & Mann's poolroom the horse fell upon the sidewalk.Mr. Clark was injured as stated. He was taken back to the drugstore, and Dr. Johnston took three stitches in an ugly cut in the cheek. The lacerated bone was replaced and bandaged, and Mr. Clark later returned to his home. Clem Amberg who assisted in stopping the horse was badly cut about the head in the mixup. BURGLARS COME AGAIN N. Hart's Saloon Entered and Small Amount Taken Burglars entered N. Hart's Saloon some time during Monday night and made away with a small quantity of silver, estimated at about $2. Entrance was effected by turning the lock in the front door with a wire, which remained in the lock when Mr. Hart entered his place on Tuesday morning. The burglars blew open the inner door of the safe, but got nothing, the day's receipts having been banked in the afternoon. The outer door of the safe is never locked. It is believed nitro glycerine was used. TAFT SITS ON SMITH'S BILL CALIFORNIA REPRESENTATIVE IN BAD WITH ADMINISTRATION Seeks to Throw Water Power Sites of Forest Reserves Into State Control, but President's Special Message Makes Him Feel Like He's Far From Home No bill introduced into the present Congress has excited more opposition in California than S. C. Smith's measure to take from the forest service water power sites and place them under state control. This question has been thoroughly threshed out by the press of the State, and a practically unanimous sentiment exists against it; for it is well known that if these valuable portions of the public domain were placed under control of the California legislature, the corporations would have them in less time than it takes to tell it. It is refreshing, therefore, to see the president taking a mighty swat at the Bakersfield man's ideas in his special message on conservation delivered to congress last week. The president is so at variance with Smith supervisors petition asking for an election to vote upon an issue of bonds for paved highways in Orange county. Nine members of the committee were present, and three absent. The vote upon the question was as follows: For calling a bond election — Dr. Diogenes Dobson and Col. Coulter of Santa Ana, A. A. Mills of Anaheim, A. A. Lester of Balboa—4. Against calling a bond election—Fred West of Fullerton, McComber of Buena Park, Jenks of Garden Grove, Hart of La Habra—4. Chairman Bennett cast the deciding vote, making it 5 to 4 for calling the election. The vote is contingent upon the appointment by the supervisors of the three highway commissioners suggested in Supervisor MacMullen's open letter published in these columns last week, viz., M. M. Crookshank of Santa Ana, C. C. Chapman of Fullerton and W. H. Burnham of Orange. Supervisor Linebarger said while in this city a few days ago that he was not in favor of calling an election for road bonds previous to the state election in November, when an issue of $18,000,000 will be voted upon for paved roads throughout the state. He favors bonds for repair to bridges and their approaches. Mr. Chapman is quoted as saying that it would be inadvisable to call a road-bond election before the state election, because in his opinion the bonds could not be carried. The good-roads committee will present the petitions already circulated to the supervisors at an early date, and it is probable a highway commission will be appointed, as Chairman MacMullen favors a bond issue. MacMullen wants $60,000 bridge bonds and $340,000 road bonds. Other road bond enthusiasts favor a million dollars for roads. NEW ROAD TO LONG BEACH Word comes from Long Beach that on Saturday morning Rife & Cave, contractors, put the finishing touches upon the highway connecting Naples with Bay City, thus completing a link between Long Beach and Bay City, and other cities of Orange county. Col. Jacob I. Hill of Long Beach, inspector of the work, and Engineer Slemmons, representing the Los Angeles highway commission, declared the work finished. The roadway itself is only 23 feet long, but three bridges form the feature of the thoroughfare. Two of these bridges are built over the branches of the San Gabriel river, Burglar entered N. Hart's saloon some time during Monday night and made away with a small quantity of silver, estimated at about $2. Entrance was effected by turning the lock in the front door with a wire, which remained in the lock when Mr. Hart entered his place on Tuesday morning. The burglar blew open the inner door of the safe, but got nothing, the day's receipts having been banked in the afternoon. The outer door of the safe is never locked. It is believed nitro glycerine was used. Sacks were placed about the inner compartment of the safe to deaden the noise of the explosion. The burglars pried open the money drawer and secured silver amounting to a couple of dollars. The thieves helped themselves to liquid refreshments at the bar, and left by the rear door, which was unlocked and unbolted from the inside. About three years ago masked robbers entered the saloon early in the evening and stood up several gentlemen in the place, obtaining several watches and about $200 in money. They escaped, but are believed to be in state's prison for a bank robbery committed in a northern county. One of the men is believed to be a son of a well-known Westminster rancher. Officers searched for the men immediately after the saloon was robbed and arrests were made in Los Angeles county, but the men were released, it being impossible to identify them. The burglars are supposed to be the same men who blew open a safe in the bank at Newport Beach. They went north, and were captured for a bank robbery in a northern county, and were sentenced to seven years in prison. The Beebe-Weisel store was broken into some nights ago, one of the rear windows being broken. Nothing of any value, so far as can be determined, was taken. NEWPORT HARBOR Flint and Smith Write for Detailed Information The chamber of commerce is in receipt of communications from United States Senator Frank P. Flint and Congressman S. C. Smith stating that they would bring the matter of a survey of Newport harbor up before the rivers and harbors committee at this session of congress and asking for data to be furnished on the subject. The federal government cares nothing for sentiment or what anyone's opinion is in the matter but demands the actual figures as to the by the press of the State, and a practically unanimous sentiment exists against it; for it is well known that if these valuable portions of the public domain were placed under control of the California legislature, the corporations would have them in less time than it takes to tell it. It is refreshing, therefore, to see the president taking a mighty swat at the Bakersfield man's ideas in his special message on conservation delivered to congress last week. The president is so at variance with Smith that it is worth while to call attention to portions of the message dealing with the subject: "With respect to the public land which lies along the streams, offering opportunity to convert water power into transmissible electricity, another important phase of the public question is presented. There are valuable power sites through all public land states. Opinion is held that the transfer of sovereignty from federal government to territorial governments as they become states, included water power in rivers except that owned by riparian proprietors. I do not think it necessary to go into a discussion of this somewhat mooted question of law. It seems to me sufficient to say that the man who owns and controls the land along the stream from which the power is to be converted and transmitted, owns land which is indispensable to the conservation and use of that power. "I cannot conceive how the power in streams flowing through public lands can be made available at all except by using the land itself as the site for the construction of the plant by which the power is generated,and converted and securing a right of way thereover for the transmission lines. Under these conditions, if the government owns the adjacent lands—indeed, if the government is the riparian owner—it may control the use of water power by imposing proper conditions on the disposition of land necessary in the creation and utilization of water power. Development in electrical appliances for the conservation of water power into electricity to be transmitted long distances has progressed so far that it is no longer problematical,但 is a certain inference that in the future power of water flowing in the streams to large extent will take the place of natural fuel." In the disposition of the domain already granted, many water power sites have come under absolute ownership and may drift into one ownership, so that all the water power under private ownership shall be with Bay City, thus completing a link between Long Beach and Bay City, and other cities of Orange county. Col. Jacob I. Hill of Long Beach, inspector of the work, and Engineer Slemmons, representing the Los Angeles highway commission, declared the work finished. The roadway itself is only 23 feet long, but three bridges form the feature of the thoroughfare. Two of these bridges are built over the branches of the San Gabriel river, and one over a slough 400 feet east of the easternmost arm. The cost of the roadway was $4875, and of the bridges over $14,000. The work was begun September 9th of last year, and the contractors and bridge builders have been hurrying to have the work completed by January 1. They were given an extension of time. The roadway shortens the distance between Long Beach and Bay City seven miles. Formerly autoists and owners of carriages were compelled to drive out Anaheim road to a point a mile east of the Fred H. Bixby ranch, and then southwest four miles to get to Bay City. Good roads now connect Bay City with Anaheim Landing, Westminster, Santa Ana, Anaheim and Orange. There is general rejoicing by automobile owners over the completion of the road, which is now opened for traffic. INJURED IN RUNAWAY Charles Clark, who lives on a ranch some miles west of town, sustained a fractured cheek bone and painful lacerations about the face in a runaway accident at noon on Monday when his horse which was standing hitched to a buggy in front of Heying Brothers' drugstore became unmanageable and started to run across the street. Mr. Clark was in The chamber of commerce is in receipt of communications from United States Senator Frank P. Flint and Congressman S. C. Smith stating that they would bring the matter of a survey of Newport harbor up before the rivers and harbors committee at this session of congress and asking for data to be furnished on the subject. The federal government cares nothing for sentiment or what anyone's opinion is in the matter but demands the actual figures as to the amount of commerce that could be reasonably expected to pass through the harbor. In the report of Brigadier General Mackenzie made in 1907 he stated that, there had been no estimate from a government official as to the cost of jetties and what would be accomplished by them since Major Benyuard made his estimate in 1888. At that time Major Benyuard estimated that two jetties, one 3000 and one 2200 feet long could be built at a cost of $1,520,000 and that these jetties would maintain a depth of eighty feet of water over the bar at the lowest tide. General Mackenzie concurred in the report made by Captain Fries in 1907 that although the jetties could probably be built much cheaper they did not feel that the prospective returns of commerce justified the outlay by the federal government. Both Senator Flint and Congressman Smith are friendly to the Newport harbor project and there is an excellent chance of securing the appropriation. for a resurvey. It means much when you buy a wagon, a buggy, a carriage, an automobile or a set of harness, whether you get a good article or a poor one. How can you be sure of getting a good one? By giving us your business. Wm. F. Lutz Co., Santa Ana.

The presivariance with Smith ion subscribers to the league from every state and territory in the union. The women heads of households will be appealed to especially. There will be no dues and no tax levied on the masses to sustain the league. It is the purpose of the league to institute national boycotts against all foodtrusts that raise the price of food products beyond the point of reasonable profit to the dealer. The organization determined on no particular product upon which to begin its fight. State organizations, subsidiary to the league with state directors, are to be organized. The national boycott will begin in every state on the same day and hour. The subscribing members to the league will stop using the food article under the league ban because of the high price on that day. They will continue the boycott until the league wins. SUPERVISORS IN SESSION Petitions for Road Bends Looked for But Not Presented The board of supervisors met on Tuesday and it was expected the petitions asking for a road-bond election would be presented by the bond boosters, but the petitions failed to appear. It is said they will be presented at the next meeting of the board. CURBING RIVER OVERFLOW MEETING OF CITIZENS AND FARMERS DISCUSS SUBJECT Committee Goes Up River to Investigate Possibility of Future Floods, and Will Report at Meeting Next Monday Evening at Public Library A mass meeting of ranchers and others interested met at the rooms of the chamber of commerce on Monday evening at 8 o'clock to discuss ways and means of controlling the storm waters of the Santa Ana river. The meeting was organized by electing J. F. Ahlborn chairman and D. Gervais secretary. All present were unanimously in favor of forming a storm-water district. Remarks were made and plans were suggested and discussed by Judge Howard, Mills, Knapp, Stockwell, Cook, Dahlmann and others, but no definite conclusion was reached, and the whole matter was referred to a committee composed of Messrs. Knapp, Simmons, Stockwell. Dahlman, Gervais and Mills for investigation, to devise ways and means to control the river, and outline a storm water district. SUPERVISORS IN SESSION Petitions for Road Bends Looked for But Not Presented The board of supervisors met on Tuesday and it was expected the petitions asking for a road-bond election would be presented by the bond boosters, but the petitions failed to appear. It is said they will be presented at the next meeting of the board. Ninety citizens were selected to act as term trial jurors during the year. An order was made that the county recorder shall be allowed to purchase certain books for his office and the county horticultural commissioner be allowed to purchase furniture for the office not to exceed the sum of $85. There having been no bids received for furnishing office supplies for the various county officers, it was ordered that re-advertisement be made for bids to be opened Feb. 2d. The Orange County Carnival of Products matter was to have come up for discussion today but it was continued to Feb. 2d. The gravel bed owned by the county near Tustin was ordered advertised for sale, with the understanding that at least $850 must be received for it, as it is worth that sum. GAVE BILLY A SEND-OFF Because He Had One of the Cleanest Meat Markets In the State An inspector of meat markets, operating under authority of the pure-food law, was in town and entered the City Market and informed Billy Cooper of his mission. He presented Billy with his card and said "I'm looking through butcher shops to see how well you are living up to the pure-food law." "Just aviate right in there," said Billy, pointing to the rear of the shop. "You have the freedom of the premises. Steer your dirigible into the ice box, and navigate your biplane into the backyard. I can't go with you, because I'm waiting on these ladies." The inspector quietly replied he did not come to look through the premises, but merely to make a friendly call. "The last inspector made such a favorable report about this shop that it is not necessary for me to do anything but to compliment you on the cleanliness of your market.

One hundred visiting Knights will be present on the occasion of the institution of the uniform rank, and it is believed the new lodge will start with 100 members. The visiting Knights on Feb. 13th will come from Los Angeles, Pasadena, Long Beach, San Diego and other places in special trains, and the day will be given over to parades and other festivities. A stop will be made at Fullerton during the day, when the Knights will parade the streets. Twenty-five members were initiated in the Knights lodge on Saturday evening, and officers appeared in the new robes presented the lodge by Bro. Royer. The robes cost $1,-250 and are models of beauty. The ball scheduled for Feb. 12 was postponed on account of Lent to a later date. Next Sunday afternoon, the locals play the Pippins of Los Angeles, and a battle royal is expected. Each nine has won every game played this season. Anaheim has won five, the Pippins four. The winner of the game will maintain its place at the head of the column. The loser will be relegated to second place. Game will be called at 2 o'clock, and a record-breaking crowd is looked for to urge the home boys on to victory. Politicians and some others were astonished when they learned that Gov. Gillett had not touched a cent of the $5000 appropriation for the Governor's contingent expenses last year. Under the law this special fund may be used for such purposes, as the Governor deems necessary, and he is required to give no accounting. Former governors have found no difficulty in disposing of the money. Nor would Gillett, probably, if he had been so disposed. The fact remains that for the year 1909 not a penny was drawn from the fund.
