PROMISE CHEAP WATER THEN REPUDIATE STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION SEVERELY SCORES SAN DIEGO IRRIGATING COMPANY GIVEN PERMISSION TO RAISE RATES, BECAUSE COST TO IT WAS INCREASED In rendering its decision upon the application of the Encanto Mutual Water Company to raise its rates, the Railroad Commission has taken occasion to criticise severely the practice of some land companies who promise cheap water and then to repudiate these promises. "This custom is entirely too prevalent," says the commission, "and constitutes what I consider a fraud on its face. The usual plan is for the land company to secure a tract of land for comparatively a small amount and thereafter, for the purpose of selling such land, to acquire a supply of water, (in this case from a public service water company), and agree to insure the perpetual delivery of such water to the purchasers of lots at a very low cost. Such an arrangement, of course, gives a strong argument to the agent selling the lots, and the fact that the unsuspecting purchaser thinks that he will be insured a continuous OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Business Transacted at Recent Meetings as Reported by County Clerk Williams Santa Ana, Cal., May 6, 1913.

Such an arrangement, of course, gives a strong argument to the agent selling the lots, and the fact that the unsuspecting purchaser thinks that he will be insured a continuous supply of water at the very cheap rate enables the land company to sell its lots at a greater profit than would otherwise be the case. The usual outcome of this scheme is that the land company sells off its land and either abandons or unloads its system upon some none-too-suspicious buyer, who finds himself with contracts for the delivery of water, as in this case, which cannot under any circumstance be fulfilled, and the inevitable application is made to this commission, as here, to raise the rates. "I consider that every cent of additional payment which the Richland Realty Company secured from the lots sold in Encanto which was secured by reason of its promise to deliver water at the rate of 10 cents per 1,000 gallons, such delivery to be perpetual, was obtained practically through false representations and fraud, and the only way in my mind those profiting by this arrangement could clear themselves of this imputation is by attempting to carry out the provisions of their contracts, at least until they had dissipated all of the profits which they had made from their land operations. A solemn obligation should not by honest men be treated as lightly as it seems to have been treated in this case. It is no defense to say that the purchasers of its lots have profited in that such lots have increased in value. This land company made a promise, as a result of which it reaped a benefit. It should not retain the benefit and repudiate the promise, even when such repudiation is secured by unloading the property upon a purchaser unable financially to endure the loss which necessarily follows from carrying out its contracts for water independent of the land venture." The Encanto Mutual Water Company operates in San Diego county. The system was constructed by the Richland Realty Company which owned a tract of land. To each person who purchased land from the Richland Realty Company the Encanto Water Company contracted to supply water at a price, which would not be in excess of $100 million. Credits were allowed John Mansir, A. Garcia, and R. A. Cole, prisoners in the county jail. A resolution was passed changing the form of bond of the Fullerton school district bond issue. The cottages at the county farm were declared completed and accepted. The application of Roy K. Bishop for permits to lay pipe lines across Fairhaven avenue were granted. The petition of John Beneke, et al., to abandon Citron street in Anaheim road district, was granted and the street abandoned. Bids were received for the purchase of the franchise to lay water pipes at or near La Habra as follows: Whittier Water Company bid $100 for said franchise. The bid was accepted and ordinance No. 97 was adopted, granting said franchise. The application of the John T. Carpenter Water Company for a pipe line across the county road on North Amaeta street in Orange county district, was granted. The map of Frostless Belt Tract was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. The map of Reyburn Addition to Garden Grove was accepted as the official plotting of said tract, but not as to county roads. The map of a portion of Poplar avenue lying north of the north line of Rice avenue as shown on re-sub. of Rice Addition to Tustin, was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. The petition of the Pacific Electric Railway Company to excavate and fill in that certain highway being Pomona avenue, Brea, for the purpose of constructing a spur track, was granted.

Adkinson was appointed fire warden to commence work on June 1, 1913, to serve at the pleasure of the board, with a salary of $100 a month. The application of J. W. Chedester to lay a 12-inch cement pipe line across the Long Beach road 1¼ miles west of Garden Grove, was granted. The application of S.

Davis, et al., of Orange road district to vacate a portion of two highways was set for June 4, 1913, at 11 A.M. Supervisor Smith was directed to install certain improvements in the basement of the court house. The Highway Commission was permitted to purchase a standard adding machine.

To each person who purchased land from the Richland Realty Company the Encanto Water Company contracted to supply water at a price, which would not be in excess of 10 cents per 100 gallons. The Encanto Water Company was in turn, purchasing water from the Southern California Mountain Water Company. A rate of 20 cents per 1,000 gallons was subsequently established by the Southern California Mountain Water Company, and the Encanto Water Company found itself in a position of paying 20 cents per 1,000 gallons and selling the water for 10 cents per 1,000 gallons. It thereupon made application to the commission to raise its rates to 25 cents. The commission scores the company, but finds that it cannot be compelled to serve its water at a loss, and allows the rate of 25 cents per 1,000 gallons. The Southern California Sugar Company of Santa Ana on Saturday paid the judgment entered against it in the damage suit brought by John L. Trembley, a minor, for an injury to his foot while at work in the mill. The amount paid was $1,000, the amount of damages fixed by the jury, and $82.05 costs. The will of Jacob Timken, who died at Olive on April 29, was filed for probate on Saturday. The estate is valued at $3,200, and under the will goes to children and grandchildren of Timken.

AND ECHO ANSWERS For a whole solid hour the captain had been lecturing his men on "The Duties of a Soldier," and he thought that now the time had come for him to test the results of his discourse. Casting his eyes around the room, he fixed on Private Murphy as his first victim. "Private Murphy," he asked, "why should a soldier be ready to die for his country?" The Irishman scratched his head for a while; then an ingratiating and enlightened smile flitted across his face. "Sure, captain," he said pleasantly, "you're quite right. Why should he?" BANKING HOUSE WAS NEEDED HERE EARLY DAY EFFORT OF THIS NEWSPAPER TO HAVE INSTITUTION ESTABLISHED BEGINNING MADE TOWARD HAVING MAIN STREETS SPRINKLED DURING SUMMER (From Gazette June 7, 1873.) Let Us Have a Bank One of the crying wants of Anaheim is the absence of all facilities for negotiating short loans, even on good approved security. The principal interests of people of this section center in wine, grain and sheep, and at certain seasons of each year it is necessary for the producer to have coin to meet the demands made upon him by the labor required to prepare his stuff for market. The banking houses of Los Angeles have more than they can do to meet the home demand upon their vaults, consequently the agriculturist and the small wool grower must rely entirely upon the local merchant to supply his necessities, either of money or produce. The merchant has as a rule, his available capital invested in his store, and can not afford to make cash advances for even a short time. Last year there was shipped from the port of Anaheim Landing 3,000 bales of wool, 50,000 sacks of grain, and 2,000 pipes of wine, representing a cash apparent during the coming summer months; making the atmosphere cooler and preventing any dust from blowing "in among the goots." KILLING COMPETITION IN SUGAR INDUSTRY Senator Thornton Says Free Sugar Will Make Monopoly Secure In a statement given out at Washington, Senator John R. Thornton, of Louisiana, attacked the sugar schedule of the pending tariff bill as certain to defeat the one object which has been claimed by the President and Leader Underwood as the primary purpose of the proposed legislation. Senator Thornton said: "I am in thorough accord with the view expressed by President Wilson that a tariff bill should be so framed as to encourage competition and prevent monopoly. But the pending tariff bill, in so far as it concerns sugar, will have just the opposite effect. The provision for free sugar without doubt will put the entire control of the sugar industry of the United States in the hands of the big refineries. At the present time they are meeting with very effective competition from the domestic sugar industry. Its effect has been, and now is, to cheapen the cost of sugar to the consumer. "The admissions of the refiners themselves under examination before various congressional committees show that for several years they have been annoyed and embarrassed by the rapid growth of this competition. They have declared that without any tariff they have nothing to fear from the competition of foreign refiners." With the removal of the competition now afforded by the domestic industry, these dominant refiners would control the market and they could put up prices at will as soon as the domestic industry was annihilated. There is not the slightest doubt that such a course would be followed. Notice to Creditors Estate of Blanchie L. Hill, Deceased.

(Seal) to meet the home demand upon their vaults, consequently the agriculturist and the small wool grower must reliably upon the local merchant to supply his necessities, either of money or produce. The merchant has as a rule, his available capital invested in his store, and can not afford to make cash advances for even a short time. Last year there was shipped from the port of Anaheim Landing 3,000 bales of wool, 50,000 sacks of grain, and 2,000 pipes of wine, representing a cash value of over $500,000. The amount of wool shipped from the same point during the present year will be about double, as in 1871-72, a large number of sheepmen were compelled to remove their flocks to lower country on account of a scarcity of feed. The agricultural interests of the country are being largely increased by the tide of immigration which is rapidly pouring in. Altogether the value of shipments from Anaheim Landing this year will not fall far short of $1,000,000. We briefly present these facts to our readers and would more especially call the attention of our Eastern friends who have lately cast their lot amongst us, to this matter as affording an opportunity for investment. The people of Anaheim, Richland and Santa Ana badly need a banking institution. A capital of $150,000 invested in this manner, would for the present supply this need, and would undoubtedly prove pecuniarily remunerative to the investors. Burglary—On Monday last whilst Otto Des Granges, who lives near the foothills about four miles north of town, was at work in the field, his house was entered and robbed of $50 in gold. The burglar is supposed to be one Jones, a worthless fellow, who had been discharged from the employ of Des Granges a few days before. He entered through the window, and being thoroughly acquainted with the secret recesses of the place, evidently experienced no difficulty in possessing himself of the money. It is thought that he left for San Diego. (From Gazette June 28, 1873) Our Bank The efforts of the Gazette to draw attention to the wants and necessities of Anaheim are bearing fruit. Mr. Kurtz, a gentleman of means, was passing a few days in town at the time we wrote a short article on the importance of establishing a banking institution in our mldst. Being in search of a profitable means of investment for his idle capital, he made minute inquiries in regard to the feasibility of the scheme, and finding that themselves under examination before various congressional committees show that for several years they have been annoyed and embarrassed by the rapid growth of this competition. They have declared that without any tariff they have nothing to fear from the competition of foreign refiners. "With the removal of the competition now afforded by the domestic industry, these dominant refiners would control the market and they could put up prices at will as soon as the domestic industry was annihilated. There is not the slightest doubt that such a course would be followed. Conditions in the sugar industry are radically different from those obtaining in some other industries. While it is true that the reduction or removal of the tariff duty may promote competition in industries which secure their raw material within the country, it can have no effect upon a trust or combination which imports its raw material except to make its dominance easier and more complete. "In view of this situation, it is easy to see that free sugar will result only in the destruction of competition, and the opening of the way to the establishment of a burdensome and oppressive monopoly, able to impose its will upon the public and to exact higher prices from the consumer." ECHOES FROM ORANGE Orange Happenings Always Interest Our Readers After reading of so many people in our town who have been cured by Doan's Kidney Pills, the question naturally arises: "Is this medicine equally successful in our neighboring towns?" The generous statement of this Orange resident leaves no room for doubt on this point. Mrs. H. Schroeder, 435 S. Orange St., Orange, Cal., says; "I was so bad with kidney complaint that I didn't expect much relief. I had pains all over my body. The action of my kidneys was too frequent. I had severe headaches and felt miserable. I decided to give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial and got a box. I improved after taking the first dose. I got stronger every day and the pains soon stopped. Since then, I have always kept Doan's Kidney Pills on hand. Some years ago I publicly recommended them, and I am pleased to confirm what I said at that time." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Our Bank The efforts of the Gazette to draw attention to the wants and necessities of Anaheim are bearing fruit. Mr. Kurtz, a gentleman of means, was passing a few days in town at the time we wrote a short article on the importance of establishing a banking institution in our midst. Being in search of a profitable means of investment for his idle capital, he made minute inquiries in regard to the feasibility of the scheme, and finding that our remarks were based upon truth, determined to make the investment proposed by us. The great benefits which will accrue to the community at large, but more especially to the farmers, by this introduction of money, are so apparent that it is needless to state them at length. One of the most serious drawbacks to the rapid growth of the Santa Ana valley heretofore has been the impossibility of the farming community of obtaining pecuniary assistance in the management and cultivation of their fields. Now that in a short time this evil will be remedied, there is every assurance to believe that a new era of prosperity is dawning upon our people, and that the old days of poverty and gloom, which for so long have overshadowed us, will be known in the future, only as among the sad memories of the past. A Good Move—The business houses along Los Angeles and Center streets have subscribed $70 per month for the purpose of having those streets sprinkled. Tim Boege will perform the work and will commence operations in about 14 days. He proposes to dig a ditch through Mrs. Kuchel’s ranch and with water from the Anaheim Water Company’s ditch to thoroughly saturate the streets, and then it will be comparatively easy to keep them in good condition with a common street sprinkling cart.
