LIGHT AND WATER OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS FIRST CONTRACT FOR FURNISHING SERVICE PRESENTED TO CITY TRUSTEES OTHER MATTERS OF NOTE ACTED UPON BY COUNCIL AT LAST REGULAR MEETING A new era was ushered in at the city trustees' meeting on Thursday evening when the first contract for the furnishing of light and water service by the city to parties outside the city came up for the approval of the board. The contract was the result of a petition submitted at the last meeting of the board by Joseph Fiscus and other residents on South Los Angeles street south of Broad street, the city's southern city limits. Mr. Fiscus explained to the trustees that he and his neighbors who wanted the water and lighting service, that they would pay for all the material such as pipe, meters, etc., if the city would put in the pipes and wires, the latter to run through a pipe line under the ground. This is the first contract to be drawn up under the ordinance enacted several months ago providing that the city developed an excess of demand of light and water and arranging for selling this service to residents outside will be given notice that the improvement must be made at once. The asme condition obtained on Chestnut street, and those who have placed sidewalks in front of their property will be notified that such steps will be forced unless the work be undertaken at once. A curb was ordered in on Citron street, between Center and Broadway to provide for the disposal of waste water which has hitherto formed a lake in the middle of the road. The grounds around the city power house have now been cleaned up and it was thought advisable that it be sowed in barley to make it look better than the customary weeds make it and also prove a benefit to the city. Such steps were ordered taken. Superintendent of Streets Kellenberger reported that the black team in use by his department had not been insured and, upon motion of Trustee Cook, this was ordered done. ANAHEIM FOWLS WIN IN NEW YORK Williams Brothers Take Prizes at Madison Square Chicken Show Some of the most remarkable winings ever made on fancy chickens were the awards received by J. C. Williams of the real estate firm of Williams Bros. Co., of Anaheim and Los Angeles, on his S. C. Brown Leghorns exhibited at Madison Square Garden, New York City, last month. After shipping by express, without an attendant, over 3,000 miles, and competing against the best known breeders of the United States and Canada, Chief among them was the one fixing the specials of Orange county Sunday closing law, which will virtually close up resorts on Sundays, at the sale of the same same price in different state, after adding the etc. By far the most the one relating to the salaries of the county o Attorney H. C. Head brought up the proposed meeting was opened for vern city limits. Mr. Fiscus explained to the trustees that he and his neighbors who wanted the water and lighting service, that they would pay for all the material such as pipe, meters, etc., if the city would put in the pipes and wires, the latter to run through a pipe line under the ground. This is the first contract to be drawn up under the ordinance enacted several months ago providing that the city developed an excess of demand of light and water and arranging for selling this service to residents outside the city limits. After the reading of the contract, the question was brought up as to whether the other residents could sign the same contract or whether a separate agreement would have to be drawn up with each applicant for the city's service. City Attorney Ames advised that the signing of the contract by more than one party would be useless and said that a separate agreement should be entered into by each of the parties desiring light and water. Mr. Ames was instructed to see Mr. Fiscus before the next meeting of the board, get the names of other parties desiring the lights and water, and draw up separate agreements with each of them. Then the agreements will be ratified by the city all at once. Mayor Nebelung reported that during the recent rains the road in front of his place had been formed into a lake by the flooding of the district. The high railroad bed forms an insurmountable barrier to the water, there being no culverts at hand, and the water is arrested in its course and stands a foot deep and more in the roadbed. In this case it flowed back and flooded Mr. Nebelung's barn. The same condition prevails elsewhere along the railroad track and the streets are made well-nigh impassable at times from the water. City Engineer Steward was instructed to find where such culverts are needed for the passage of water over the railroad's property, and instruct the railroad company to provide such culverts as were needed. Ordinance No. 260, an ordinance establishing the grades of streets in the City of Anaheim preparatory to paving, was brought up for second reading and passed. It will be found published on page seven of this issue of the Gazette. Superintendent of Streets Kellenberger reported that the small house reported at the last meeting of the board had been moved without damage to the city. W. I. Smith appeared before the trustees and petitioned for better lighting facilities on East Broad street Madison Square Chicken Show Some of the most remarkable winings ever made on fancy chickens were the awards received by J. C. Williams of the real estate firm of Williams Bros. Co., of Anaheim and Los Angeles, on his S. C. Brown Leghorns exhibited at Madison Square Garden, New York City, last month. After shipping by express, without an attendant, over 3,000 miles, and competing against the best known breeders of the United States and Canada, in the hottest competition ever seen at this the greatest show of America of over 7,000 birds, Mr. Williams won first and third cocks; first cockerel, second hen, second pullet, fourth pen, and special prize for best display. Never before has any exhibitor west of Chicago won at Madison Square Garden on Leghorns, in fact, this exhibit from Anaheim was the biggest sensation of the great show, and the papers of New York City freely commented on the phenomenal achievement of this "way off California" exhibit, as it is the greatest winning on record to even get a place at this great poultry exposition, and to receive the two highest awards, that of first cock and first cockerel, is considered a marvelous winning. Mr. Williams' Brown Leghorns have for a great many years enjoyed a national reputation, as he exhibited at the Pan-American and St. Louis expositions, winning at each high awards. These now famous New York winners were raised on the ranch of Mr. Williams, north of Anaheim, where he has had built one of the finest poultry plants in California, and the quality of the birds raised here goes to show that Anaheim has advantages for raising poultry second to none in the United States. Mr. Wm. F. Brace, of New York, one of the most noted poultry judges in America, through seeing Mr. Williams' birds exhibited at eastern shows, became interested and has recently come to Anaheim to join Mr. Williams in the raising of fancy poultry and shipments are made from here to all points of the country, a recent shipment having been made to Japan. As a result of this New York winning, Mr. Williams expects to interest a great many of the most noted poultry raisers of the East and Middle West, in the great advantages of Anaheim's famous climatic and soil conditions for the raising of fine poultry, with a view of getting them to locate here. There will be a big poultry show at San Francisco in 1915 in connection with the Panama-Pacific exposition, where Mr. Williams will see that Anaheim has a fine exhibit of fancy poultry. Attorney H. C. Head brought up the proposed meeting was opened foration of new business interesting speech said was in favor of increase of the officials over which in the proposed bill, he have the bill examined by a committee of Chambers and adopt thercommendation. He skipped of the salaries of Oranicals to those of Riversperial, stating that Orange by far more assessed also more population in two other counties they must have more care of. For instance county clerk of Orange ing to tne proposed $2,200, the Riverside o $000 and the Imperial o $2,400. Other example Sheriff—Orange $2,500; Imperial $3,000; re $2,000; Riverside $3,000; auditor—Orange $2,000; Imperial $2,400; Orange $1,000; Riversperial $2,000. After gures and saying that s officials of the three cohesive proportion, range county is big enough to pay its office its neighboring countrie ficers here have more their neighbors. He said part, he did not care a sand-dollar man in these treasurer, for he will coming year upwards of dollars and he did this vast sum in care would work for $1,000 Upon conclusion of his was interesting to all,a motion that a comm presidentes of the board chambers of commerce Orange, Anaheim,Huand Fullerton,be appo gate the proposed meet it were fair to the offices it would fix and matter up with Senate Assemblyman Weisel. Superintendent of Streets Kellenberger reported that the small house reported at the last meeting of the board had been moved without damage to the city. W. I. Smith appeared before the trustees and petitioned for better lighting facilities on East Broad street for himself and other residents in the neighborhood. He desired lights for his home and also better street lights in the neighborhood, and offered to pay for half the cost of installing the line to his property. Two or three of his neighbors also desire the lights and the petition was granted, and the line ordered run from Los Angeles and Broad streets to Mr. Smith's residence, located on Broad street between the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe tracks. Rev. A. H. Zahl, of the Evangelical church, petitioned for the privilege of filling in the parking at the side of the church property for the purpose of widening the sidewalk. The petition was granted. J. F. Ahlborn appeared before the trustees and asked that the city engineer give him and other residents on Sycamore street the grades for putting in sidewalks and curb on both sides of Sycamore street between Lemon and Olive, and on the south side of the street between Olive and the Santa Fe track. The city trustees are in favor of the improvement of the street and the city engineer was instructed to give the grade to the property owners as prayed for. The sidewalk question also brought up South Los Angeles, Chestnut and Citron streets for discussion. Some property owners on South Los Angeles street have placed sidewalks in front of their property and others have not. As this is one of the city's busiest streets, property owners who have not put in sidewalks been made to Japan. As a result of this New York winning, Mr. Williams expects to interest a great many of the most noted poultry raisers of the East and Middle West, in the great advantages of Anaheim's famous climatic and soil conditions for the raising of fine poultry, with a view of getting them to locate here. There will be a big poultry show at San Francisco in 1915 in connection with the Panama-Pacific exposition, where Mr. Williams will see that Anaheim has a fine exhibit of fancy poultry. W. Jay Cole was in town from his ranch at Stanton this week, accompanied by his little son, Delos. Mr. Cole says ranchers of his section are looking forward to bumper crops since the rain and all are enjoying prosperity. Land values are rising, as is indicated by a recent sale of 20 acres at $300 per acre for which he paid 15 years ago $20 per acre. He sold this land six years ago at $150 per acre and recently it changed hands at the higher figure. A number of ranchers, so Mr. Cole states, are holding their land at $1,000 per acre, and he believes they will secure this price in the not distant future. A large ice cream sign of artistic design has been placed over the front of the Mission Confectionery. Globes will be put in and the sign will be brilliantly illumined at night. The job was done by Fred Mauer and reflects credit upon the style of work turned out of his shop. J. P. Hatzfeld, of Santa Ana, was in town the latter part of the week on a brief business trip. While here he noted many changes for the better since his last visit and was greeted by many of his friends hereabouts. If you want anything, get it through a Gazette classified.

Several of them came up for discussion and very spirited discussion was had concerning them. Chief among the bills discussed was the one fixing the salaries of officials of Orange county, the proposed Sunday closing law, which, if carried, will virtually close up all the beach resorts on Sundays, a bill compelling the sale of the same article at the same price in different parts of the state, after adding the cost of freight, etc. By far the most important was the one relating to the fixing of the salaries of the county officers. Attorney H. C. Head, of Santa Ana, brought up the proposition when the meeting was opened for the consider- matter, whereas, if the report were made at the associated's meeting a month hence, it would be too late to take action. After some discussion, the amendment was amended to read that the special meeting should be held in Santa Ana on Wednesday evening, March 12 at 7 o'clock. This motion was carried. W. A. Griffith, of Huntington Beach, foreman of the last grand jury, arose and started to explain the reasons why the grand jury made its recommendations as it did. When he had proceeded a short way, Mr. Wallace, of Newport Beach, interrupted and begged permission to ask questions during the recital. This permission was granted and Mr. Griffith was about to proceed when the chair ruled that he was out of order and he took his seat. A suggestion was made that voting delegates only be permitted at the meeting, but this was overruled and it was decided to have the meeting open, as all the regular meetings of the associated chambers are. A. A. Mills then brought up the matter of Senate bill No. 53, as introduced by Senator Carr, and saying that he did not know much about the bill and wishing to know more, would like a committee appointed to investigate it and report at the special meeting. A committee was appointed to look over the bill and investigate it thoroughly and report at the next meeting of the chambers. The following resolution in regard to this bill, introduced by Mr. Mills, was voted upon and passed: Whereas, Senate Bill No. 53, by Senator Carr, is being opposed and misrepresented by interested parties in Orange county, and signers to a petition against this bill are being obtained by false representations and Whereas, this bill is one "relating to unfair competition and discrimination, making certain unfair and discriminatory Attorney H. C. Head, of Santa Ana, brought up the proposition when the meeting was opened for the consideration of new business and in a very interesting speech said that while he was in favor of increasing the salaries of the officials over what is contained in the proposed bill, he would like to have the bill examined and investigated by a committee of the Associated Chambers and adopt the committee's recommendation. He showed the ratio of the salaries of Orange county officials to those of Riverside and Imperial, stating that Orange county has by far more assessed valuation and also more population than either of the two other counties mentioned, for they must have more work to take care of. For instance the salary of the county clerk of Orange county, according to the proposed bill, shall be $2,200, the Riverside official gets $3,000 and the Imperial county man gets $2,400. Other examples given were: Sheriff—Orange $2,500, Riverside $3,300, Imperial $3,000; recorder—Orange $2,000, Riverside $3,000, Imperial $2,000; auditor—Orange $1,800, Riverside $3,000, Imperial $2,400; treasurer—Orange $1,000, Riverside $3,000, Imperial $2,000. After giving these figures and saying that salaries or other officials of the three counties were in the same proportion, he said that Orange county is big enough and rich enough to pay its officials as much as its neighboring counties when the officers here have more work to do than their neighbors. He said that for his part, he did not care to have a thousand-dollar man in the office of county treasurer, for he will handle in the coming year upwards of two millions of dollars and he did not care to see this vast sum in care of a man who would work for $1,000 per annum. Upon conclusion of his speech which was interesting to all, Mr. Head made a motion that a committee of five, the presidents of the boards of trade and chambers of commerce in Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim, Huntington Beach and Fullerton, be appointed to investigate the proposed measure and see if it were fair to the officials whose salaries it would fix and then take the matter up with Senator Anderson and Assemblyman Weisel. The committee appointed to investigate it and report at the special meeting. A committee was appointed to look over the bill and investigate it thoroughly and report at the next meeting of the chambers. The following resolution in regard to this bill, introduced by Mr. Mills, was voted upon and passed: Whereas, Senate Bill No. 53, by Senator Carr, is being opposed and misrepresented by interested parties in Orange county, and signers to a petition against this bill are being obtained by false representations and Whereas, this bill is one "relating to unfair competition and discrimination, making certain unfair and discriminatory practices unlawful, etc., be it Resolved by the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county that we unqualifiedly endorse the evident intent and purpose of Senate Bill No. 53, and request our members in the Legislature to ask that this bill be so amended as to make all unfair and discriminatory practices unlawful by including in the bill that all commodities, products, or services shall not be sold at a higher rate in any one locality than in another, after equalizing cost differences between such places, and when so amended we request our Senator and Assemblyman to work and vote for the same. Mr. Griffith said he was not in favor of the bill, as it would prove unjust to all dealers in the county and would amount to virtually putting some of them out of business. Lew H. Wallace then offered a resolution against Senate bills 140 and 207, and Assembly bill 31, aimed at the beach resorts which are kept open on Sundays. He said the bills, if passed, would amount to closing up all the beaches and would prove detrimental to everyone concerned. His resolution was practically the same as that passed at the last meeting of the Beach Resort Association, representatives being present from every beach on the coast. Mr. Mills made a motion that the original motion be amended to read that a committee be appointed to investigate the matter and report at the special meeting. After some warm discussion, during which it was said that if the matter would bear investigation, it could wait until the special meeting, and those in favor of the motion claimed that the calendar of the meeting already was full and one at least of the matters ought to be settled at once. This was finally settled on and the resolution carried by a vote of 15 to 3. Chas. Eygabroad then brought up the matter of Senate bill No. 322, which if passed, will repeal the law in regard to state police, and make impossible for railroad and other transportation companies to keep officers with authority throughout the entire state to protect their material and property. Mr. Eygabroad moved that the bill be investigated and a report made at the special meeting. Upon motion of W. A. Griffith, a committee was appointed to take under investigation the entire list of Senate and Assembly bills, especially... would work for $1,000 per annum. Upon conclusion of his speech which was interesting to all, Mr. Head made a motion that a committee of five, the presidents of the boards of trade and chambers of commerce in Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim, Huntington Beach and Fullerton, be appointed to investigate the proposed measure and see if it were fair to the officials whose salaries it would fix and then take the matter up with Senator Anderson and Assemblyman Weisel. The committee will examine as far as possible the amount of work in the county offices and see if the new bill would make the salaries for the position too small. L. L. Shaw, postmaster at Santa Ana, arose and said that he was in favor of appointing the committee, and branched out onto the reasons why the recommendations of the county grand jury and the progressive republican county central committee differed so widely. Lew H. Wallace, of Newport Beach, objected to Mr. Shaw's remarks because as he said they bordered too much on politics. The chair sustained the objection, as the associated chambers are non-partisan, and Mr. Shaw took his seat. Several objections were made to having a committee of five, some of the men present thinking that such an important matter should have the attention of a larger body of men. Mr. Head said that his reason for asking a committee of five was that the men who were presidents of the associations in the cities named are competent men and a larger committee is unwieldly. Very decided objection was made to leaving it to the committee to take the matter up with the senator and assemblyman from this district. The original motion was amended to read that the committee report at a special meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce to be held in ten days. This would afford a chance to instruct the representatives in the legislature what course to take in the matter of Senate bill No. 322, which if passed, will repeal the law in regard to state police, and make impossible for railroad and other transportation companies to keep officers with authority throughout the entire state to protect their material and property. Mr. Eygabroad moved that the bill be investigated and a report made at the special meeting. Upon motion of W. A. Griffith, a committee was appointed to take under investigation the entire list of Senate and Assembly bills, especially those in reference to Orange county, and make a report at the special meeting. V. U. Simpson of Anaheim, chairman of the committee appointed by the board of trade at its meeting some weeks ago to take up the matter of interesting county bankers in the purchase of the state highway bonds, in a good speech, said that it was up to the bankers to get busy in the matter at once if the county is to get any of the state road funds. The county roads here can be built for about $400,000 and this amount of bonds will have to be taken before work upon the state road in this county will be commenced. Mr. Simpson sprung a new idea to some, when he said that the state would run short in its road funds and those counties which waited till the last to build the road would come out at the tail end of the affair, for there would be no money left to build the road there. If Orange county wants the road, he said, the bankers of the county will have to get busy at once and get enough bonds to build the road. The delay will be prolonged until there is no money left for the road and then the county will get left. Mr. Zimmermann, president of the Orange County Bankers' Association, and president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, said that in his opinion the bankers were standing in their own light by refusing to purchase the bonds and that something ought to be Thursday, March 6 The First National Bank OF ANAHEIM United States Depository for the Postal Savings System Capital, $50,000.
