APPROPRIATION FOR LIBRARY BOARD CITY TRUSTEES PLACE $1,500 FOR ITS USE DURING THE COMING YEAR ROUTINE BUSINESS TRANSACTED AT CITY COUNCIL MEETING—PAYROLL OF CITY City council meeting Thursday night found all members of the board present, viz.: Nebelung, Stark, Hamler, Cook and Gates. City Attorney Ames reported that he had interviewed representatives of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company in regard to the company's track on South Olive street. The company had agreed to fill in between the rails some weeks ago but to date this had not been done. The city representatives suggested that the track be lowered to conform to the grade of the street, a thing which company officials are loath to do unless absolutely necessary. Local representatives of the railroad agreed to take the matter up with their company and do what they could in the matter. Trustee Cook, of the police committee, reported that a courtroom for Recorder Howard was being fitted up on the ground floor of the city hall which he would be occupying in a few days when completed. Ordinance No. 256, an ordinance revision against the merry-go-round, which is situated one block from the sanitarium. Patients complained of not being able to sleep and as this seriously affected their health, Mr. Beebe asked that the music be stopped. No legal action could be brought against the amusement concern and the matter stood as it was. A letter from J. S. Howard, requesting that South Claudina street be paved from Broadway to Santa Ana street was read, and ordered filed with other paving petitions. A communication from residents on East Center street and East Broadway between the Santa Fe tracks and East street, asking that paving those streets be dropped for the time, were read and filed with other paving papers. A letter from the West End Glee Club asking for a license of giving a party at Columbia Park on New Year's day with the privilege of selling beer was read, and left over to the next meeting until it could be ascertained what the West End Glee Club is. Permission was granted C. M. Annin to move a building from outside the city limits to the inside was granted. Andrew Eckert was granted permission to move a building from West Santa Ana street to East Center street. A petition from property owners on East Broadway asking for installation of street lights at corners of Bush, Rose, East streets and Broadway was read and granted. The following building permits were granted: Nathan Davis, to construct an addition to residence on Santa Ana street, cost $100. H. G. Melcher, to construct a residence on Broadway, cost $1,500. C. E. Ramella, to construct residence Track be lowered to conform to the grade of the street, a thing which company officials are loath to do unless absolutely necessary. Local representatives of the railroad agreed to take the matter up with their company and do what they could in the matter. Trustee Cook, of the police committee, reported that a courtroom for Recorder Howard was being fitted up on the ground floor of the city hall which he would be occupying in a few days when completed. Ordinance No. 256, an ordinance repealing section 16 of ordinance 120, fixing a brewer's license of $15 per month, was brought up for final reading and passed. Ordinance No. 257, an ordinance naming certain streets and renaming other certain streets in the City of Anaheim, was also passed. Ordinance No. 258, an ordinance fixing the time of meeting of the trustees of the regular meeting night falls on a holiday, was brought up for first reading and will be passed at the next meeting. Bids for laying approximately 5,125 feet of pipe line on streets to be paved were opened. Three bids were received for the work, from J. H. Connor of Los Angeles, J. S. Hilend and C. E. Chamberlain of this city, and Fred Hess also of Anaheim. As the two latter bids were itemized and not totaled, it was decided to consider the matter at an adjourned meeting to be held Monday night. This is to give the city engineer and surveyor time to go over maps of the proposed work and total the bids after finding the exact amount of pipe to be laid. J. D. Lavin, H. E. Hand and J. S. Sheridan, of the library board, appeared before the trustees and after stating the present financial condition of the library, asked for an additional appropriation of $250 for the coming year, the money to be used in making much needed repairs to the building and buying necessary books. The request was granted and $250 ordered transferred from the general fund to the library fund. This raises the year's appropriation to $1,500. Alexander Henry appeared before the board and stating that Philadelphia street had been left out of the board's trade petition for paving, asked that street be included. The request was not granted, as the trustees stated the matter would be taken up later at the proper time. Manager Abbey, of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, asked that he be given permission to install a gas jet in his office for emergency purposes, such as occurred a few nights ago when electric lights were out for a time. The gas company has A petition from property owners on East Broadway asking for installation of street lights at corners of Bush, Rose, East streets and Broadway was read and granted.

The gas company has no authority from its franchise to furnish gas for lighting purposes and Mr. Abbey requested aid of the city council. As the ordinance would of necessity have to be changed to allow it, the request was not granted. A. H. Heying asked for relief for himself and O. A. Mullinix from a section of ordinance No. 244, fixing an alcohol tax of $5 per month for drug stores. He claimed that drug stores were not liquor houses and should not be classed as such; that they sold alcohol for medicinal purposes only, and, not selling enough alcohol in a year to pay the license fee of $60, must either sell at a loss or raise the price of alcohol accordingly, thus making it cheaper to buy it in neighboring towns. Trustees expressed themselves as viewing the matter in a favorable light and said they would take the matter up after investigation. A representative of an amusement company which had installed a merry-go-round on North Los Angeles street, stated that under the present circumstances his license would cost him $20 a day for his show, six concession and the merry-go-round and as it would be impossible to earn that much, asked that he be given some sort of a reduction. As that would necessitate changing an ordinance, the matter was left in the hands of the marshal for enforcement.

LEASES BIXBY RANCH EIGHT HUNDRED SIXTY ACRES AT OLIVE SOON TO BE SCENE OF DEVELOPMENT WORK STANDARD NEGOTIATING WITH OLIVE MILLING COMPANY FOR FURTHER LEASES That extensive well drilling for oil is to be done at Olive is now an established fact. There is every reason to believe that Olive will become an oil section. Within a short time several rigs will be in the new field. The item of chief importance in the operations about Olive is the fact that the Standard Oil Company has closed with the Bixby ranch for a lease of 860 acres of the Bixby ranch. This tract joins the Olive townsite on the north, and meanders around as far as the Gray tract. On top of this lease comes the news that the Standard has been negotiating with the Olive Milling Company for an oil lease on 11 acres owned by the mill company. These 11 acres join the Bixby lease. The representative of the oil company who took the matter up with the directors of the mill recently, stated that his company would agree to put down two wells at least 4,000 feet in their effort to prove the terri- BUSINESS CARDS J.

On top of this lease comes the news that the Standard has been negotiating with the Olive Milling Company for an oil lease on 11 acres owned by the mill company. These 11 acres join the Bixby lease. The representative of the oil company who took the matter up with the directors of the mill recently, stated that his company would agree to put down two wells at least 4,000 feet in their effort to prove the territory to be good oil territory. The mill company was offered one-eighth royalty of all oil produced. The fact that the Standard Oil Company has taken the steps it has in this section south of the Santa Ana River leads people interested in that section to hope that the Olinda field extends into the range of hills and along the hills this side of the Santa Ana canyon. In the last few weeks both the Standard and the Union have had geologists at work in the Santa Ana canyon. That the Standard Oil Company is to continue its wildcat operations in the Orange county field on even a grander scale than heretofore is evidenced by the fact that the big concern has just taken over a lease on about 860 acres of land on the Bixby ranch, near Olive, and a considerable distance to the south of operations. The territory in this section has not to this time been successfully demonstrated as oil-producing. As yet the Standard has started no active work on the newly acquired holding, but probably will do so at an early date. The Standard now has very large holdings over a wide territory in the Fullerton district, and is becoming a very important factor in proving up the extent of the field. As yet none of the operations of the big company in its wildcats have resulted in the securing of a profitable quantity of oil. A well on the Leffingwell lease has recently been abandoned, after going down nearly 5,000 feet, and from present indications some of the others are likely to be fated for the same destiny. The possibilities for oil on the new holdings on the Bixby ranch are considered even more problematical, because to all appearances it is the wildest of the wildcat property acquired thus far by the Standard.

It is one of the most liberal and extensive premium lists ever offered by any fruit exposition on the entire Pacific coast, the prizes offered being well worth the time and effort of any grower or packer or chamber of commerce to compete for. The classification for the purpose of making entries and awards has been greatly expanded since the last show, which will not only give a larger variety to the exhibits but also provide a much greater number of prizes to be awarded. The number of premiums is not only greater, but the values have been increased. The awards will be made by citrus fruit experts of state-wide and national reputation, so that each will be absolutely on merit for quality of fruit alone, except in the case of feature displays where the artistic will be considered.
