WILL BUILD HOME FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT TRUSTEES MAY ERECT BUILDING ON HERMINE STREET LOT Would Make Room in City Hall Building for Officers of Recorder, Marshal and City Engineer, Also More Jail Room—Request of Southern Counties Gas Company for Modification of Franchise Held Up—Reports of City Officials—Notes The erection of a home for the fire department on the Hermine-St. lot belonging to the city, and the transformation of the ground floor of the city hall was one of the matters discussed by the Board of Trustees Thursday night and will be further considered at the next meeting. The matter was introduced by Marshal Kellenberger's complaint of the congested condition of his jail and the pressing and increasing need of more cells. "I am compelled to double up the prisoners in all the cells most of the time now," said he, "and in case I should be compelled to arrest a lady and incarcerate her for a day or two it would place me in an awkward situation." Kellenberger suggested that the fire apparatus be removed to other quarters and the ground floor which it now occupies be rebuilt, offices be amendment to the ordinance granting a franchise to the company whose rights and interests are now the property of that corporation was held up for investigation, and there may possibly be a change in the gas situation. The franchise of the original company provides that the company shall maintain a plant for the manufacture of gas within the city or forfeit its charter. As the new company closed down its plant here and is now piping gas from Santa Ana its charter is forfeited unless the board sees fit to amend the ordinance. There will be an investigation into the service and the price of gas before the matter is adjusted. A. L. Lewis reported that he had a customer for the stack of the old power house boiler and was authorized to sell it. Trustee Nebelung reported that the water company's recent excavations on Sycamore street had left a number of chuck holes in the road, and the street commission was instructed to have them properly filled and the road leveled. Judge Howard's court has been doing an extremely profitable business during the past thirty days. He reported 38 cases tried and fines aggregating $247 collected. Following are the reports of the city officials for the past month: Marshal's Report Collected for license ... $610.10 Collected for light ... 1175.65 Collected for water ... 919.00 Kellenberger suggested that the fire apparatus be removed to other quarters and the ground floor which it now occupies be rebuilt, offices being provided for the recorder, the marshal and the city engineer, with a number of additional cells in the rear. The board will probably take action on the matter at the next regular meeting and in the mean time the plans and costs of a suitable fire house on the lot adjoining the sanitarium will be considered. Ordinance No. 232 regulating the speed and handling of motor vehicles on the streets was read and adopted by unanimous vote, and Ordinance No. 234, prohibiting the distributing of patent medicines was introduced. It prohibits agents or canvassers from throwing their samples in the yards or on the streets or giving them to children under eighteen years of age. City Attorney Ames reported that the case against Mr. Ghrist, of Newport Beach, who was sued by the city for $276.50 in payment for some second hand transformers which he purchased from the power house upward of a year ago, had been adjusted. Ghrist claimed the articles were not worth the price and he agreed to acknowledge judgment for the sum less $25, and to pay the balance in installments. The agreement was ratified. The resolution granting the Santa Fe railroad permission to cross Atchison street with a switch thereby connecting its track with the Southern Pacific was adopted. The switch has already been built and switch engines are hauling cars of sugar beets over the track, but the resolution legalizes the company's action. Supt. Kellenberger reported that his supply of road oil was exhausted, and also that the contract of the man engaged to haul away the street sweepings had expired. The city clerk was instructed to advertise for 1500 barrels of road oil, also for a new hauling contract, bids to be opened on Sept. 14. The resignation of Mrs. H. M. Adams as member of the library board was accepted and President Rust authorized to fill the vacancy. FOSSEK IN LUCK Making Lots of Money, Receives Offers of Marriage R.

The city trustees signed up a contract with him to do street sprinkling at $3.50 per day, whereas he used to do the same work at $1.94.

Adams as member of the library board was accepted and President Rust authorized to fill the vacancy. Building permits were petitioned for and granted to the following: To T. J. F. Boege, frame dwelling on West Center street. Cost $1900. To C. Silvernagle, frame residence on West Broadway. Cost $1200. To D. Squire, frame residence on South street. Cost $2000. To V. A. Weedle, frame dwelling on Helene street. Cost $1500. C. E. Holcomb and others petitioned for three months additional time in the construction of sidewalk and curbing on the Zeyn sub-division. Also for an extension of the water main from Alberta street to the tract. The former was granted but the latter was held up until sufficient consumers were found to justify the expense. The appointment by the marshal of C. M. Sackett as deputy city marshal was ratified. The contract and bond of Rudolph Fossek, street sprinkler, was accepted. For the first time this contract provides for an eight-hour day for Fossek or his deputies, and provides a $10 fine for violation thereof.

Fossek who manipulates the city sprinkling cart woke up the other morning and found himself famous. The city trustees signed up a contract with him to do street sprinkling at $3.50 per day, whereas he used to do the same work at $1.94. When he went to see City Attorney Ames about his bondsmen, that august potentate informed him that Fossek would be required to sprinkle only eight hours per day, whereas formerly he sprinkled ten hours. When Fossek went after his mail, there were three letters, each written in delicate feminine hand, requesting the joy of marrying him. He called at this office to find out if it was leap year. We told him it was. Fossek began sprinkling streets twelve years ago at $2.24 per day. He furnishes the sprinkler and team. The next year he lost the contract on a competitive bid, and the city that year paid $2.12 1-2. Chester Spencer got the contract that year. One night some miscreat drove nails into a hind hoof of one of his horses. Fossek came back the next year with an offer of $1.94, slashing all records, and recovered the contract. He has held it to the present time. The year following low-water mark he raised the rate to $2.50, the next year to $2.75. The year following he stampeded back to $2.50. This year he touches high-water mark at $3.50 and eight hours work. But he doesn't know what to do about the ladies, and he may be tempted to throw up his contract and break for tall timber. J. W.

Chairman Vander Horck stated that the entertainment committee consisting of himself, F. A. Yungbluth and Earl Abbey, was working with feverish energy to perfect the arrangements and to make this spread an event in the history of Anaheim, but the committee had reached a point where assistance was needed. In response to his appeal President Adams appointed himself and Messrs. Eygabroad and Stern a committee of three to decorate the hall, and the entertainment committee was granted authority to engage ten or twelve of the most beautiful young ladies in Anaheim to wait upon the guests. thousand dollars worth of new machinery which will enable it to handle all the work of northern Orange county. At the suggestion of A. A. Mills a committee was appointed to confer with the Fullerton chamber of commerce and effect a reciprocity agreement, Fullerton agreeing to patronize the Anaheim laundry in exchange for Anaheim’s support of the Fullerton ice plant. The “Get Acquainted” trip to the beach was discussed at some length but no definite action was taken. A run to Long Beach and thence home by way of Downey, Norwalk, and Whittier, a 75 mile trip, was agreed upon as the most practicable route, but the date was not fixed. Fritz Yungbluth suggested that something be done to head off the proposed parcels post system, as it would unquestionably be a detriment to the country merchant. Postmaster Duckworth replied that the government seemed determined to establish a parcels post system, modeled on some of the European systems and he did not believe the Anaheim board of trade could do anything to prevent it. A telephone message from Santa Ana to the effect that the supervisors would probably help finance the K.ofP. carnival was reported, and it was decided to ask the board for a donation of $200 or $300.

The Professor, it is said, is the first man to suggest the building of the factory n Anaheim. Chairman Ahlborn, of the committee on ornamental street lights, reported that he had secured a quotation of $39.65 each, which placing them about fifty feet apart would make an aggregate cost of $1.35 per front foot to the property owners. The original intention of charging half the cost of installation to the tenant had been abandoned, he said, because many of the tenants held short time leases and would get no benefit from the lights. He anticipated no objection from the property owners—in fact people outside the proposed zone were petitioning for an extension of the territory so as to take them in.

This building will be a unique one in the line of church architecture, as on outward semblance it will present the appearance of a seven-room bungalow. It can be transformed into a residence at any time in the future by merely adding the partitions and altering the plumbing. H. L. Brisco, the contractor, will have charge of the construction work.
