MANY STREETS ARE UP FOR PAVING
MASS MEETING OF CITIZENS DECIDES IN FAVOR OF PROGRESS
NEW STREETS ADDED TO LISTS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED FOR PAVING
Paving of a number of streets, among them several not hitherto regarded as being in line for this improvement, was unanimously decided upon at a largely attended mass meeting at the Board of Trade rooms on Friday evening.
The sentiment expressed was that paving should be done by the method affording property owners the widest latitude of competition, and the patent paving device, which would put the city forever in the grasp of the patentees was set down upon heavily without a dissenting vote. Among out of town people present were Col. S. H. Finley, of Santa Ana, who is taking a leading interest in paving at the county seat to join the state highway and Stephen M. Griffith, of Los Angeles,
Lemon street should be placed upon the map, and was ready to sign up every man on the thoroughfare in order to do so.
L. E. Miller was called upon to respond for West Broadway. He said he represented 285 feet of frontage which rather objected to paving but would not oppose it, if other people on the street desired it.
William Gerdes, of South Los Angeles street, said he was ready to pave when water pipes and sewers had been put down. He did not think paving should be put down and then torn up for pipes and sewers. These public utilities should be installed first.
P. H. Krick replied that no matter when pavements were laid down there would always come a time in future when streets would have to be torn up for public improvements. He was of opinion that Anaheim had reaped such large benefits because of paving that even if the entire area had to be torn up the town would be ahead. He urged that paving be taken up forthwith and that matters of water pipes and sewers be not permitted to stand in the way of this improvement.
City Engineer Lewis said that the trustees at their last meeting, foreseeing that extensive paving was about to begin, had authorized the purchase of water pipe for North and South Los Angeles street, and this will be installed immediately upon its arrival. City Surveyor Steward said the sewer system now covered the town practically in all directions. Additions to the system could be readily made at the pav-
The sentiment expressed was that paving should be done by the method affording property owners the widest latitude of competition, and the patent paving device, which would put the city forever in the grasp of the patentees was set down upon heavily without a dissenting vote. Among out of town people present were Col. S. H. Finley, of Santa Ana, who is taking a leading interest in paving at the county seat to join the state highway and Stephen M. Griffith, of Los Angeles, representing the Fairchild-Gilmore-Wilton Company, who gave valuable information regarding the Barber company’s attempt to grab paving contracts here by phoney competition. Mr. Griffith also showed up the patented style of paving, which exacts a royalty from property owners for the patentees and prohibits repairs when such are necessary unless a license be first procured from the patentees and royalty paid thereupon.
The meeting voted unanimously on motion of Alexander Henry to begin circulating petitions immediately asking the city trustees to pave streets under the Vrooman act, the method which affords property-holders the widest and best competition.
Judge Shanley representing South Lemon street, announced he was ready to sign up eight hundred feet of frontage for paving under the Vrooman act, and that another property-holder on that street was ready to sign 1250 feet additional. He opposed the private agreement form of paving, saying the process was long and unsatisfactory while the Vrooman act made it possible to pave streets in short order and with adequate competition among the bidders.
Chester Holcomb, representing North Los Angeles and North Lemon streets, said he was ready to sign up for paving under the Vrooman act, but would not pave by private agreement.
Henry M. Adams was chosen chairman of the meeting and W. T. Wallop secretary.
A call for an expression of opinion on the part of property owners present relative to paving brought out the fact that the meeting was, to a man, opposed to private contract if worked under phoney competition.
Postmaster Duckworth was called upon to state the object of the meeting. He arose and said it was for the purpose of discussing the paving situation. Much discussion had been had of late, he said, relative to the subject, and it was for the purpose of getting the matter before property-holders in concrete form, that a mass meeting of citizens had been called. He
City Engineer Lewis said that the trustees at their last meeting, foreseeing that extensive paving was about to begin, had authorized the purchase of water pipe for North and South Los Angeles street, and this will be installed immediately upon its arrival. City Surveyor Steward said the sewer system now covered the town practically in all directions. Additions to the system could be readily made at the paving as had been shown in numerous instances of late. Sewer pipes had been carried beneath paved streets and only two small holes cut in the pavement.
V. U. Simpson said property owners on Philadelphia street were ready to pave, but not under the Vrooman act, which he said was more expensive than by private contract.
Mr. Griffith, of Los Angeles, was called upon and made a brief and entertaining address. He showed that the Barber company and the Warren patent trust were business associates, and that paving called for by specification 5, submitted by the Barber people at the phoney competition, would debar outside companies from bidding upon the work. The Barber people were the only ones who could bid upon those specifications, and having a monopoly of the patented right, would make the people pay for it accordingly. Should that paving be laid down, no repairs could ever be made to it except the license was first procured from the patentees and royalty paid them for privilege of making such repairs. He argued that the best interest of property-holders would be subserved by open competition, and this could be best brought about by the Vrooman act. He explained the workings of the act and said he did not know of a single city in California which was doing paving by private contract. Mr. Griffith's remarks, especially those referring to patented paving were eye-openers. He was asked questions by many property-holders present and lucid and convincing replies were made thereto.
Col. Finley spoke of paving at Santa Ana to join with the state highway, and said it would without doubt be done under the Vrooman act. William Falkenstein, of East Broadway, said he was ready to sign for paving by the method which seemed most advantageous to property-owners.
William Chambers, member of the board of school trustees, heartily supported the paving proposition in front of the primary school on East Broadway relative to the Associated Chamber an immediate bond for construction on Orange county been for more than vocate of an infland county, past the ruins of San Juan Highway through Fullerton. He any other man in press the advisable upon the state compo more than any other fact that the coast made such little minds of the state members of the state came here last for good roads enthusiasm the courthouse took part to them their Egan who kidnapped them to his palace dence, and winning The commissioners low they really hinder their many relative to the route way and that they along the most where it would add number of people.

Postmaster Duckworth was called upon to state the object of the meeting. He arose and said it was for the purpose of discussing the paving situation. Much discussion had been had of late, he said, relative to the subject, and it was for the purpose of getting the matter before property-holders in concrete form, that a mass meeting of citizens had been called. He favored open competition, holding that he felt property owners would get better results by that method than by private contract. He thought Broadway was ready for paving, and said he believed property owners along that thoroughfare were ready to sign up. Herman Dickel announced that Lemon street was in line for paving and that he would personally go before property owners to secure signatures.
Judge Shanley said that he had been before the city trustees so often with complaints about the wretched condition of South Lemon street that he did not feel like going before them again but he agreed to do so if thereby he could get them to place Lemon street on the map. He had stated his case so often before the trustees, and had been so uniformly turned down, that he had given up hope of ever accomplishing anything for his street, and now he wanted it paved. He had fallen into chuckholes and ditches on going home at night so many times that he was afraid to remain from home after dark. He was ready to sign up 800 feet of frontage and one of his neighbors was ready to sign 1250 feet, making 2050 feet, and this, he thought, was a pretty good starter. He insisted that
Col. Finley spoke of paving at Santa Ana to join with the state highway, and said it would without doubt be done under the Vrooman act. William Falkenstein, of East Broadway, said he was ready to sign for paving by the method which seemed most advantageous to property-owners.
William Chambers, member of the board of school trustees, heartily supported the paving proposition in front of the primary school on East Broadway, as well as in front of his residence on Emily street.
On motion of Alexander Henry, which received many seconds, the meeting voted without a dissenting voice to petition the city trustees to proceed with the matter of paving under the Vrooman act, which method offers property-owners the fullest competition.
A number of streets were added to the list of those in line for paving, among them Adele, from Los Angeles to Lemon, Chartres and Cypress streets, between the same thoroughfare, Olive from Center to Broadway, Melrose, Kroeger, Clementina and Helena streets, from Center to Broadway, also South Philadelphia and South Claudina streets from Broadway to Santa Ana street.
The chair appointed the following committees to circulate petitions:
Lemon street, Herman Dickel and Frank Shanley.
North Los Angeles street, Joseph Fiscus.
Adele street, Frank Baum.
Philadelphia, V. U. Simpson.
Cypress street, P. H. Krick.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1912
STATE HIGHWAY WILL COME, SAYS EGAN
SMILES AT ATTEMPTS FOR IMEDIATE COUNTY BOND ISSUE
HAVE FIFTEEN MILES OF GRADE STAKES SET THIS SIDE OF SAN DIEGO LINE
Judge Richard Egan, of San Juan, member of the Orange county highway commission, and probably closer to the state highway commission than any other man in Southern California, smiled broadly at the courthouse the first of the week when asked his opinion relative to the resolution of the Associated Chambers of Commerce for an immediate bond issue of $1,750,000 for construction of roads and bridges in Orange county. Judge Egan has been for more than a year past an advocate of an inland route through this county, past the historic mission ruins of San Juan and along the King's Highway through Santa Ana, this city and Fullerton. He has done more than any other man in the county to impress the advisability of this route upon the state commission and to him
DEATH FROM PARALYSIS
First Fatality in Illness Now Prevalent in County
Henry Trapp, aged 14 years and 10 months, died at his home one mile east of the city limits at 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon from the effects of infantile paralysis. His death is the first so far reported in this county consequent upon the disease now prevalent in many sections. Dr. Harvey was called at 4 o'clock on Monday morning, and found the youth suffering with a very bad attack of paralysis. Despite all that could be done the patient asnk rapidly and died at 2 o'clock.
Trapp was in town with his father on Saturday evening apparently in good health. He was seized with cramps on Sunday and was dangerously ill during the night. When Dr. Harvey called at 4 o'clock Monday morning he was past all hope of recovery.
The remains were intered yesterday morning in the Anaheim cemetery. Owing to the contagious character of the disease there was no funeral and no one was permitted to be present at the interment.
Health Officer Beebe reports the three cases in town previously mentioned as doing well. He this week raised the quarantine at the Malcom residence, corner Olive and Broadway, the patient having recovered. Two other cases in town are still under quarantine.
A case o fthe disease was on Monday reported from Olinda, the patient

The report states that by withholding the report until it was determined what the state commission would do, the paving of the main road was left to the state at a saving of $400,000 to the county.
It is stated that the paved portion of the roads shall be sixteen feet wide with provision for widening to twenty. Latitude is asked as to the kind of paving to be used as state and counties have not yet decided which kind is the best. Asphalt macadam is contemplated on all roads except between

Auto Turns Turble
gressed to a point several miles this side of us. To vote county bonds at this time for the building of this and other roads, seems a funny proposition to me."
"Don't you suppose the surveyors will continue their line through Orange county to the Los Angeles county line, and the work of building the road be taken up immediately?" he was asked.
"I do not known," he replied, with his usual caution. "The state commissioners are very reticent as to their plans for the future, and they have not made a confident of me. Still these surveyors are doing a very substantial piece of work. It is costing the state some money, and for the life of me, I do not see why it has been undertaken unless the road is to be built thereon. The state highway commission has adopted the recommendation of the Orange county highway commission relative to the route and I have no doubt work of constructing this road through Orange county will be in progress before long.
"I fail to see the propriety of voting $1,750,000 in bonds at this time. I doubt if our valuation will stand it. At all events, it is not a good plan to go into debt and borrow every dollar you can. There may come a time when the county would need to borrow some money, and we should make some allowance for this: Those bond boosters had better go slow."
Judge Egan said the county highway commission will make its report to the supervisors this week. The commission has approved about 107 miles of roads in Orange county. The main highway now being surveyed by the state commission is not included in the report.
Hayden, $1000 each, and D. Gervais, $500, all of Anaheim.
The organization of this new financial institution will give Anaheim its fourth bank. Its incorporators are strong men financially, and it enters the financial field with a long list of wealthy and influential stockholders.
C. B. Jones has been elected president of the new bank, and C. A. Boege cashier. Mr. Boege will be in personal charge of the new financial institution.
Temporary quarters are being fitted up in Mr. Nagel's store, and the bank will be ready for business September 1.
When the new building is completed Mr. Nagel will move his hardware store therein. The bank will occupy the premises at the corner, which will be handsomely fitted up.
Thirty-eight local and four Los Angeles stockholders are interested in the enterprise.

A badly damaged automobile at the foot of a sloping 20-foot embankment in the Santa Ana Canyon marks the scene of what came near being a fatal accident. The automobile's steering gear jammed as the machine was rounding a curve on a grade and the machine with its four occupants went off the road and down the incline. The automobile turned over twice and came to a standstill on its wheels. The occupants, all men, jumped at the first turn. Manson Durham, the driver, G. M. Bartley and Clate Stanfield escaped with many severe bruises. In addition to bruises, Milton Thomas has a rib broken. The four men live at El Modena and were returning from Corona when the accident occurred.

Their baggage had been shipped to the island on Saturday. A number carried cameras and other camp impedimenta. Each was provided with a package of lunch, for Camp Wilke was not reached until well along in the afternoon.
The boys who left yesterday for Camp Wilkie, the county Y. M. C. A. camp at Catalina Island, are desirous of a goodly supply of canned fruits, preserves, jellies, marmalades, jams, etc., and have arranged to receive donations of the same and to pack these together and ship by freight to the camp.

The boys who left yesterday for Camp Wilkle, the county Y. M. C. A. camp at Catalina Island, are desirous of a goodly supply of canned fruits, preserves, jellies, marmalades, jams, etc., and have arranged to receive donations of the same and to pack these together and ship by freight to the camp. The following friends of the Y. M. C. A. boys have kindly agreed to receive and pack all such donations and forward the same: D. L. Anderson, at his grocery, 113 East Fourth street, Santa Anna; R. C. Petermann, at his grocery in this city; E. W. Dean, at his hardware store in Fullerton; P. M. German, at his jewelry store in Garden Grove, and G. C. Woods, at his dry goods store in Orange.
Not only parents, aunts and uncles, and other relatives are invited to contribute, but also all friends of the association and of the boys. Any one having anything in this line which can be spared is invited to leave it at the assigned receiving stations.
It may be interesting to know that the camping party will number about 100, of whom 85 are boys and 15 are leaders and adults. The following is the list of those going from this section:
The leaders are R. J. Hamilton, Earl C. Ford, Arthur Anderson, Frank Swain, George Hapton, Ray Elliott, E. B. Douglass, George Oertly, Ben Oertly and Martin Warren.
It is planned to send frequent write-up of the camp life and activities so that parents and friends at home will know what is going on at camp.
HOLLY FACTORY OPENS
The Holly Sugar Factory began operations at Huntington Beach with a full force and a sufficient supply of sugar beets, although it is not likely that the factory will run to its full capacity until later in the week. All the dumps are in operation and the beets received are testing well. A. C. Horn of Los Angeles is the new chemist at the factory and has removed to that city with his wife.
HAS CINCH ON CONVENTION
It will be necessary for the state administration to make a fight for only 11 of its candidates in 66 assembly and senatorial districts, in order to control the legislative convention that will select the Republican electoral ticket in California making further investigation into the proposition of the parties who are desirous of locating a chinaware factory in Anaheim. The new members are J. W. Duckworth and A. Nagel. The committee now consists of the three gentlemen mentioned, Arthur Hydercampf and A. W. Wood.
Mr. Gibbs announced that the promoters asked a subscription of $50,000 in Anaheim. They will also float $50,-000 worth of preferred stock in Los Angeles and the mines or deposits of clay which they control will be put into the company as their share of the capital, giving them 51 per cent, or a controlling interest.
The promoters claim the mines which they control will yield unlimited material of a quality equal to the best German clay. It is within easy distance of Anaheim but the exact location they refuse to divulge. Samples of the chinaware were shown but as none of the committee feel competent to pass upon the value or quality of the material the matter is held up until expert opinion can be secured. If the claims of the promoters prove to be as represented it will probably be easy to float the $50,000 in and land the plant in Anaheim.
A communication was received from the Los Angeles Examiner announcing that a write-up and boost of Anaheim will shortly appear in that paper and asking the co-operation of the board. They want statistics, figures, photographs and any other information that could benefit the city. Secretary Ahlborn was appointed by Chairman Bee to assist the advertising committee in the matter, and will furnish some scenic views besides the text of the story.
At a former meeting of the board the question of establishing a plant to utilize the culls from the orange packing houses was discussed and the matter was brought to a halt by the discovery that the process was patented and under the control of the Florida growers. Charles Eygabroad, who was on a committee to follow-up the matter, announced that he had received a communication from the Pittsburg chemists to the effect that the Florida holders of the patent would grant a concession to the Anaheim Board of Trade and the right to use the process could probably be secured at very little cost. This means that the board will immediately endeavor to locate a plant for the purpose of converting into marketable products the refuse of the packing houses.

HAS CINCH ON CONVENTION
It will be necessary for the state administration to make a fight for only 11 of its candidates in 66 assembly and senatorial districts, in order to control the legislative convention that will select the Republican electoral ticket in California. Of the 66 districts in which the Taft element has even a chance of victory, 57 must be won to insure the naming of a Taft electoral ticket. If Taft got only 56 of the 66, the vote in the legislative convention would be a tie. This is the situation revealed by a study of the nominations, new closed, in the 80 assembly districts, and the 20 senatorial districts, for which candidates are to be named at the primary September 3.
Zoe Dell Lemon, one of Anaheim's popular young ladies, and H. C. Juskup, of Fullerton, were granted license to wed Friday. Miss Lemon is the daughter of U. S. Lemon until recently editor of the Garden Grove News, and is one of Anaheim's best known young society ladies. She has a host of friends who will extend good wishes.
Mike Lopez, Ernest Bowen, Pete Wisser and Ervin Bayha left Tuesday for the Santa Clara creek country on a hunting expedition, traveling in Bayha's auto. They are in search of big game and will bring in their dead Saturday evening and return to the hunting grounds Sunday for another week of slaughter. Each man confidently expects to hag the limit.
