VETERAN'S OFF TO GETTYSBURG REUNION CAPTAIN L. R. WILLIAMS AND P. R. DONAHOE LEAVE SUNDAY FOR THE EAST DONAHOE HELPED TO MAN A CANNON AT THE GREAT BATTLE FIFTY YEARS AGO The big reunion of veterans of the Civil War, to be held on the battlefield of Gettysburg on July 1st to 4th, the fifteenth anniversary of the fight, will be attended by 40,000 of the surviving remnant of the millions who participated in the bloody four-year's struggle, and two representatives of Anaheim's small colony of old soldiers will be among the number. They are Captain L. R. Williams and P. R. Donahoe. They will leave Sunday for the East, accompanied by Mrs. Donahoe, and in addition to participating in the four days' reunion will spend several months visiting their old homes and reviving the memories of youthful days. Then they joined Sherman and went with him on his famous march to Atlanta, and from Atlanta to the sea. Mr. Donahoe was mustered out at his home in Pittsburg after serving three years and three months. He was 19 years old when he received his discharge, being only 16 when he enlisted. Captain Williams is also a Pittsburg man. He enlisted in the 5th Pennsylvania heavy artillery, which was attached to the 22d corps, a part of the Army of the Potomac. He was not at Gettysburg, his command being engaged in the valley of the Shenandoah while Donahoe was helping drive Lee back into Maryland and Virginia. He does not take the personal interest in the blood-soaked reunion grounds that Donahoe does, but expects to meet many of his old comrades there. He was with the Army of the Potomac during most of its terrific four years' campaign, and participated in the greater part of its victories and defeats. The captain will be abesnt three months, visiting friends in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and looking after business interests in the smoky city. He is still a Pittsburg business man, but he and Mrs. Williams prefer living amid the orange groves of Anaheim and draw dividends from there, leaving the active management of the business to others. BRIDGE AT AGAIN IN SPOTLIGHT CONSTRUCTION OF CONSTITUTION OF COURSE MAKES NO INTEREST UNLESS NEW STRUCTURE BUILT, EASTSIDE MAY BE DEFEATED That construction of highway leading east from Olive may be permanent failure to replace the pier bridge across the river cement bridge is the open ground among those well subject. It was built months ago that creation district sought for this city and neighborhood would result in immediate development of a cement bridge across proceedings developed to it was estimated that $70 available for this purpose of supervisors last year. Mr. Donahoe is one of the survivors of that desperate and heroic two-days' battle, which was the pivotal conflict of the war, and wrecked the Confederacy's hope of invading the North. Comrade Donahoe was in the artillery service. He enlisted at Pittsburg, Pa., on October 10, 1861, and was assigned to Knapp's Independent Battery. It was attached to Geary's division of the 12th corps. After engaging the enemy in many minor disputes in the peninsula and in the valleys of the Rappahannock and Potomac, and participating in the bloody encounters at Cedar Mountain, Chancellorsville, Second Bull Run, Antietam and Fredericksburg, Knapp's battery, on the night of July 1st, 1863, bivouaced on the field of Gettysburg. Skirmishing had already begun on that day and on the morning of the second the battle began in earnest. Knapp's battery was divided, part of it being planted on Culp's Hill and the other section on a twin mound called Powers' Hill. On these heights the six guns maintained a position during the two days' battle. Their first experience in the morning was assisting other batteries in shelling Johnson's division on the right and driving him from his sheltered position on Rock Creek to a safe distance. From their commanding heights they could see the entire field and take part in any portion of the battle within reach. It was a strategic position, and on the second day the Confederates brought a couple of batteries into view and tried to dislodge them. In less than half an hour the enemy retired with eight disabled guns. Gen. Sickles' corps occupied a position midway between the two main armies. It was a perilous situation and it appeared almost impossible for them to hold it. It was a strategic point and Geary's division was sent across after dark to reinforce Sickles. On arriving there Geary was informed by Sickles that they could hold the position alone and sent them back. Returning to their old grounds at daybreak Geary's men were surprised to find that during the night Johnson's will be attended by 40,000 of the surviving remnant of the millions who participated in the bloody four-year's struggle, and two representatives of Anaheim's small colony of old soldiers will be among the number. They are Captain L. R. Williams and P. R. Donahoe. They will leave Sunday for the East, accompanied by Mrs. Donahoe, and in addition to participating in the four days' reunion will spend several months visiting their old homes and reviving the memories of youthful days. The captain will be abesnt three months, visiting friends in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and looking after business interests in the smoky city. He is still a Pittsburgh business man, but he and Mrs. Williams prefer living amid the orange groves of Anaheim and draw dividends from there, leaving the active management of the business to others. LOCAL MAIL CLERK INJURED IN WRECK Jesse Alexander Receives Severe Bruises in Passenger Train Smash-up at Pomona Jesse Alexander is at his home in this city suffering from bruises received when the train on which he was on duty as mail clerk, wrecked near Pomona Saturday morning last. Mr. Alexander was completing his run to Ashfork, Arizona, and back when the accident happened. According to his story the train, overland fast mail No. 9, was between North Pomona and Claremont, Los Angeles bound, and was traveling at the rate of 30 miles per hour. Due either to a defective switch or to spreading of the rails, the first engine of the double-header was derailed and was turned over at the side of the track. The second engine remained upright, but was derailed, the first car, filled with butter, was smashed to smithereens, the mail car, in which were three mail clerks, left its trucks and slid off to one side, its rear end being jammed against the cab of the second engine, the remains of the butter car and the baggage car following. Of the 12 cars in the train, the four leading cars, including the butter car, the mail car and two baggage cars were derailed. No one was killed in the wreck, but seven men were injured more or less seriously, and the three mail clerks suffered bruises. Mr. Alexander was busy in the rear of the mail car when the accident happened. He and his two companions were thrown through the air by the shock and landed toward the front of the car, piling up in a heap on the floor. He was struck in the pit of the stomach and injured, it is not yet known how seriously, and also received bruises on the head and other parts of the body. All that saved the mailman from death, he asserts, was the fact that their car was equipped with a steel underframe. Had this not been failure to replace the bridge across the river ground among those wee subject. It was bi-months ago that creation district sought for this city and neighborhood would result in immediate development of a cement bridge across proceedings developed to it it was estimated that $750 available for this purpose of supervisors last year; purpose not to replace bridge by a new structure; river channel had been built; and to this end a protest was discussed. Thus this district would afford no notice to many sections of part of the county from which would also bring about a bridge which is very bad this time. Travelers this week are unclaring the structure in there are not wanting to positive in their conviction than to permit the presence remain in use it would wisdom to tear it out anyway across the river because organize the protection of bridge matter in abeyance visors take the position new structure should have protection from flood with propriation for a new point will be made. Added interest to them by the fact that they now preparing for consummation county highway system; struction of the road on avenue west of Spadra Los Angeles county line way from Santa Ana to Beach will soon be asked believed that within a few work upon these roads sections of the county h will soon be in progress have given rise to the sections in the northern county that unless a erected across the river paved highway leading city to a juncture with through River canyon county, will be deferred definitely. This will travel from Riverside along Santa Ana on the way Huntington Beach. Much would necessarily come with no substantial bridge river and no highway from it this travel west from Gen. Sickles' corps occupied a position midway between the two main armies. It was a perilous situation and it appeared almost impossible for them to hold it. It was a strategic point and Geary's division was sent across after dark to reinforce Sickles. On arriving there Geary was informed by Sickles that they could hold the position alone and sent them back. Returning to their old grounds at daybreak Geary's men were surprised to find that during the night Johnson's division had again swaggered up and finding a line of breastworks unoccupied, taken possession. "It didn't take us long," said Mr. Donahoe, "to notify the intruders that the owners had come home, and for the second time they had to skedaddle." In the afternoon of the second day the chief of artillery came down the line and ordered them to cease firing and cool their guns. "There will be something doing before long," he said, "and you can rest and prepare for it." Shortly afterward all the rebel batteries opened and the great artillery duel preceding a charge began. Then came Pickett's famous charge of 5,000 picked and desperate men, brave as the old guard of Napoleon, offering their lives for the cause that was being lost on that battle field. Pickett's division was slaughtered by the artillery and infantry, and the shadows of night descended on the battle that was ended. This was the bloodiest battle of the war, 160,000 men were engaged and the loss on both sides aggregated 46,000. After the battle of Gettysburg Mr. Donahoe's division was sent by rail into the southwest to reinforce Rosecrans at Chattanooga. They arrived just in time to take part in the picturesque battle of Lookout Mountain. mail car when the accident happened. He and his two companions were thrown through the air by the shock and landed toward the front of the car, piling up in a heap on the floor. He was struck in the pit of the stomach and injured, it is not yet known how seriously, and also received bruises on the head and other parts of the body. All that saved the mailman from death, he asserts, was the fact that their car was equipped with a steel underframe. Had this not been the case, the car would undoubtedly have been smashed and they would have been lucky to escape alive. Mr. Alexander has been resting at home here, under care of physicians, and unless serious complications set in will probably be ready for work again shortly. He said that some of the Pullman passengers were not awakened by the sudden stopping of the train due to the wreck, but slept peacefully on. EBELL SOCIETY MEETING Interesting Closing Session of Year Held in This City Saturday The closing meeting for the year of the Anaheim Ebell Society was held Saturday afternoon, June 7. The program consisted of the yearly reports of officers and committees, the delegates' report of the state convention, Mrs. Terry reporting on the convention in general, and Mrs. Tipton on the subjects of education, peace and legislation. Mrs. R. A. Speicher, of Fullerton, favored the society with two vocal selections, "The Lyre Bird Song," and "That Old Girl of Mine," and Miss Lela Steadman and Mr. Cannon each gave piano selections. The committee served refreshments of ice cream and wafers, and the social hour was much enjoyed by all. This situation of affairs en up for discussion by trade and chambers of northern Orange county Northern Orange County Club. Delegations will go before the board at an early date making quest for speedy construction bridge.

Citizens of northern will enter emphatic proffer appropriation of coast boulevard until adequately taken care AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1913 BRIDGE AT OLIVE AGAIN IN THE SPOTLIGHT CONSTRUCTION OF COUNTY ROAD SYSTEM MAKES IT TOPIC OF INTEREST UNLESS NEW STRUCTURE IS BUILT, EASTSIDE HIGHWAY MAY BE DEFERRED That construction of the county highway leading east from this city to Olive may be permanently delayed by failure to replace the present unsafe bridge across the river at Olive by a cement bridge is the opinion gaining ground among those well informed on the subject. It was believed some months ago that creation of the protection district sought for by people in this city and neighboring sections would result in immediate construction of a cement bridge across the river and proceedings developed to the end that it was estimated that $70,000 would be available for this purpose. The board of supervisors last year announced its it requires a unanimous vote of the board of supervisors to appropriate money from the current expense fund to building the coast boulevard, they will insist that Supervisor Schumacher stand by his original intention of voting against any such appropriation until the Olive bridge be taken up and constructed.

MUNICIPAL FIGHT AT STANTON A MIX-UP PETITION IN CIRCULATION FOR SIGNATURES ASKING RECALL OF TRUSTEES DEMAND FOR DISINCORPORATION HEADED OFF BY PLAN TO SLICE TOWN IN HALF The latest dip in the merry municipal tango at Stanton is a petition which is now in circulation asking recall of the city trustees of that town. The project has been under consideration for several weeks past, and comes as a result, so disincorporationists aver, of sharp practices on the part of those opposed to disincorporation. At a well attended meeting of disincorporationists at Magnolia school house last evening it was decided to place recall petitions in circulation immediately, to the end that the same may be presented the city trustees the required ten days before their next meeting, which will be held in July, so that a recall election may be determined upon at failure to replace the present unsafe bridge across the river at Olive by a cement bridge is the opinion gaining ground among those well informed on the subject. It was believed some months ago that creation of the protection district sought for by people in this city and neighboring sections would result in immediate construction of a cement bridge across the river and proceedings developed to the end that it was estimated that $70,000 would be available for this purpose. The board of supervisors last year announced its purpose not to replace the present bridge by a new structure until the river channel had been taken care of, and to this end a protection district was discussed. Thus the protection district would afford not only protection to many sections of the northern part of the county from overflow but would also bring about a new cement bridge which is very badly needed at this time. Travelers over the old bridge this week are unanimous in declaring the structure is unsafe and there are not wanting those who are positive in their convictions that rather than to permit the present bridge to remain in use it would be the part of wisdom to tear it out and oil the roadway across the river bed. Failure to organize the protection district left the bridge matter in abeyance. The supervisors take the position that unless a new structure should have sufficient protection from flood waters no appropriation for a new bridge at that point will be made. Added interest to the matter is lent by the fact that the supervisors are now preparing for construction of the county highway system. Bids for construction of the road on Orangethorpe avenue west of Spadra street to the Los Angeles county line and for a highway from Santa Ana to Huntington Beach will soon be asked for and it is believed that within a very few months work upon these roads as well as other sections of the county highway system will soon be in progress. These facts have given rise to the opinion in many sections in the northern part of the county that unless a new bridge be erected across the river at Olive the paved highway leading east from this city to a juncture with a road leading through River canyon to Riverside county, will be deferred perhaps indefinitely. This will result in sending travel from Riverside and other points in the interior through Orange and Santa Ana on the way to Newport and Huntington Beach. Much of this travel would necessarily come this way, but with no substantial bridge across the river and no highway leading to and from this travel would be diverted Their scores were as follows: Frank Fox 16, John Bush 15, Frank Mauerhan 16, Roy Gardner 12, Shorty Susmil 14, D. Heitschusen 12, Ed Bassonett 16, E. Conger 10, B. Veich 8, G. Lemke 15, Pete Wisser 20, Mike Lopez 18, H. Mahem 7, Earle Steadman 7, George Dutton 15, Carl Vanatta 15, H.

Lange and family, Mrs. Fischle and two children and Mrs. Dale of New York, enjoyed an auto trip to Trabuco canyon on Sunday. Manager Sandilands of the fruit association has issued invitations to members to be present at a demonstration of different smudge pots to be held at the packing house June 14 at 10 A.M. The association has arranged for a demonstration by a number of manufacturers of smudge pots and a large attendance of orchardists will probably be present. Charley Brandenburg while holding a razor at Franz' barber shop on Monday afternoon had the misfortune to cut off the ball of the little finger of his left hand. He was preparing to shave Johnny Selinger, and while holding the razor it slipped, slashing his little finger as stated. An artery was severed and blood flowed freely. Dr Truxaw dressed the wound and Charley is temporarily on the retired list. Flower Mission day was duly observed by the ladies of the W. C. T. U. on Tuesday June 10. The union met The project has been under consideration for several weeks past, and comes as a result, so disincorporationists aver, of sharp practices on the part of those opposed to disincorporation. At a well attended meeting of disincorporationists at Magnolia school house last evening it was decided to place recall petitions in circulation immediately, to the end that the same may be presented the city trustees the required ten days before their next meeting, which will be held in July, so that a recall election may be determined upon at that time. Disincorporationists aver they will have no trouble in recalling the present city trustees of Stanton, and following such action, they will again present petitions asking for disincorporation of the municipality. Those opposing disincorporation will stubbornly contest this action and it seems to an outsider that an excellent chance exists for taking the Stanton municipal turkey-trot into the courts. At a meeting of the city trustees held recently, petitions for disincorporation were presented bearing signatures of 180 voters of the municipality. This was more than two-thirds of the voting strength of the town, and disincorporationists state that had such election been called the town would have been disincorporated. The meeting was addressed by Phil Stanton, father of the town, who made an eloquent appeal in favor of continuing the incorporation. He promised that all property owners who wished to be set out of the municipality would have their wishes complied with. Thereupon the disincorporators agreed to postpone consideration of their petition. Later the disincorporators learned that another petition was placed in circulation asking that the north half of the municipality be segregated. The proposed northern line of the municipality is on the section line south of Magnolia school, and leaves within the municipality many of the disincorporators. This petition bears the signatures of 60 voters and was presented to the city trustees at a meeting held on Monday evening, when an election to segregate the northern half of the town was set for July 12. W. J. Cole, who is one of the original disincorporationists, said yesterday that the calling of an election for segregating a part of Stanton nullified the petition asking a vote on disincorporation. He said the trustees had refused to take the disincorporation petition up at a special meeting and it had therefore been deferred to the regular meeting in July, following Phil Stanton's promise that all disincorporationists would be set out of the municipal- erected across the river at Olive the paved highway leading east from this city to a juncture with a road leading through River canyon to Riverside county, will be deferred perhaps indefinitely. This will result in sending travel from Riverside and other points in the interior through Orange and Santa Ana on the way to Newport and Huntington Beach. Much of this travel would necessarily come this way, but with no substantial bridge across the river and no highway leading to and from it this travel would be diverted from this portion of Orange county. This situation of affairs will be taken up for discussion by the boards of trade and chambers of commerce in northern Orange county as well as the Northern Orange County Improvement Club. Delegations will be appointed to go before the board of supervisors at an early date making an earnest request for speedy construction of a new cement bridge. There remains in the county bridge fund $30,000 of the $100,000 bridge bonds voted last year; $70,000 has already been expended upon bridges in the southern part of the county, and another large appropriation will soon be sought for bridges along the coast boulevard. It was some months ago decided to place this sum of $30,000 to the credit of the Olive bridge fund and an additional $40,000 was promised from the current fund. However, if the board persists in its present determination not to build a bridge until a protection district shall be formed, this money may not only be unavailable, but it may be diverted to other uses. Citizens of northern Orange county will enter emphatic protest to any further appropriation of money for the coast boulevard until this bridge is adequately taken care of. Inasmuch as a razor at Franz' barber shop on Monday afternoon had the misfortune to cut off the ball of the little finger of his left hand. He was preparing to shave Johnny Selinger, and while holding the razor it slipped, slashing his little finger as stated. An artery was severed and blood flowed freely. Dr. Truxaw dressed the wound and Charley is temporarily on the retired list. Flower Mission day was duly observed by the ladies of the W. C. T. U. on Tuesday, June 10. The union met at the M. E. church and 100 bouquets were arranged, tied with white ribbon and containing a Scripture verse, these were distributed to the sick and suffering. "The Box Social" committee reported about $40.00 taken in. This was applied on Spanish work. Miss Imus read a paper on the subject, "Flower Mission," written by Mrs. Yeoman, who was absent. The president, Mrs. Owen, read a story on the subject. Prof. J. F. Walker on Monday tendered his resignation as principal of the Anaheim Union high school owing to illness. Prof. Walker has been living at Banning since February and returned here last week for the purpose of tendering his resignation and moving with his family again to Banning. He has been principal of the high school for eight years, and universal regret is expressed at his enforced resignation. Prof. Houck, formerly principal of the Sutter County Union high school, and for the past year teacher of science at Claremont high school and physics in Pomona college, has been selected as his successor. Prof. Walker has improved in health by his residence at Banning and thinks he will entirely recover by a further sojourn at that point. W. J. Cole, who is one of the original disincorporationists, said yesterday that the calling of an election for segregating a part of Stanton nullified the petition asking a vote on disincorporation. He said the trustees had refused to take the disincorporation petition up at a special meeting and it had therefore been deferred to the regular meeting in July, following Phil Stanton's promise that all disincorporationists would be set out of the municipality. He was surprised to hear that an election upon segregation had been called. He and his associates, therefore, who have been holding weekly meetings at the Magnolia school house, determined last evening to demand recall of the city trustees. These petitions are now in circulation and Mr. Cole says they will within a few days bear the necessary number of signatures to require the city trustees to call such an election. The city of Stanton was incorporated two years ago last month, by a vote of 69 to 60. A bitter fight was occasioned over the election, and strenuous efforts were made for and against incorporating the municipality. A long-drawn out contest was also waged before the board of supervisors previous to calling the election. At the original hearing before the board of supervisors for calling an incorporation election, 75 property owners appeared before the board, protesting against inclusion. These citizens were excluded from the municipality. A week later, when the supervisors again took the subject up for consideration 60 other property owners appeared endeavoring to protest themselves out of the incorporation. Their protests were unheeded, and upon an election being called, ETTE NUMBER 34 MANUFACTURING PLANT IN SIGHT AGAIN BOARD OF TRADE CONSIDERING PROPOSITION FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW FACTORY WILL BUILD VENDING OR SLOT MACHINES, ALSO MAKE GUM AND CANDY Another manufacturing enterprise which may develop into an important Anaheim industry is under consideration by the Board of Trade, and action will be taken after investigation by the manufacturing committee of which Frank Gibbs is chairman. The proposition was laid before the board Monday night by William Davidson, promoter, and Thomas Miller, inventor. The article to be manufactured is a slot machine—not the gambling device which so frequently comes under the ban of the law, but a vending machine, which yields each of its customers value received for his money. Mr. Miller had five models with him remain in Stanton should the northerners be segregated, demanded that the northerners stand by them for disincorporation. At the age of disincorporation school house last year to place recall immediately, to may be present the required ten meeting, which so that a recall remained upon at corporationists averable in recalling cases of Stanton, petition, they will asking for disincorporation will act and it that had such the town would be created. The meeting Phil Stanton, who made an eloef continuing the promised that all unwished to be set city would have been with.

Delegations of Moose Come From Santa Ana to Enjoy Sights of City Several hundred Moose were in town on Monday afternoon and evening from Santa Ana, where members of the order gathered from many points in Southern California to attend the second anniversary of the institution of the lodge in that city. The visitors were heartily received by members of the local antlered herd and were shown to various points of interest about the city. They found many cool and refreshing cases which were greatly appreciated after traveling over the hot sands from the county seat. Practically every city in the South-will be taken after investigation by the manufacturing committee of which Frank Gibbs is chairman. The proposition was laid before the board Monday night by William Davidson, promoter, and Thomas Miller, inventor. The article to be manufactured is a slot machine—not the gambling device which so frequently comes under the ban of the law, but a vending machine, which yields each of its customers value received for his money. Mr. Miller had five models with him and demonstrated the workings of each. They range from the penny chewing gum device to a large machine which is capable of delivering packages of groceries to parties dropping the proper coin in its slot. One of them is an automatic lunch counter into which a hungry man in a hurry can deposit his nickel and receive for it a sandwich, a piece of pie or anything he desires if it is in sight. Mr. Miller claims his machines are far in advance of anything of the kind now in use, not only in their mechanism, but in the delivery to customers of a class of goods not handled by the present vending devices. He asks the formation of a company with a capitalization of $200,000, $80,000 of this to be issued to himself. He also asks for his patents $42,500, $2,500 to be paid immediately and the balance out of the profits of the factory. Two sites have already been offered, one by Dr. Beebe, and the other—the old Dreyfus winery building —by Messrs. Cook and Hall. Twenty thousand dollars, he claims, is all that it will be necessary to raise, as, after paying his cash demand, the balance will buy and equip the plant. An option on sufficient machinery, now at Orange, has been offered them by the owners, Judge Z. B. West, J. B. Sexton and Mr. Kelly, for $9,000, $5,000 of this to be cash and $4,000 in stock in the enterprise. The manufacturing committee was instructed to investigate the matter and given power to call a meeting of the board for its consideration at any time. A. A. Mills, chairman of the committee appointed at a previous meeting to assist in the organization of the northern Orange county protective association, reported that the committee's mission was successful and that the organization had been formed with nine bodies incorporated in it. Each chamber of commerce or board of trade is allowed three members, and the organization is to meet monthly, the meeting nights being the last Friday of each month. Messrs. Mills, Quarton and Ahlborn are the members of the original sale yesterday selection for segregation nullified the vote on disincorporation trustees had re-incorporation petition and it had been added to the regular governing Phil Stanley incorporation of the municipality to hear that an election had been associated there holding weekly public school house, being to demand re-elections.

W. Adams to Argus Adams, undivided half interest in and to south half of southwest quarter of northeast quarter, section 35-3-10; also undivided half interest in and to northeast quarter of southeast quarter of southwest quarter, same section; $6,500. A. A. Mills, chairman of the committee appointed at a previous meeting to assist in the organization of the northern Orange county protective association, reported that the committee's mission was successful and that the organization had been formed with nine bodies incorporated in it. Each chamber of commerce or board of trade is allowed three members, and the organization is to meet monthly, the meeting nights being the last Friday of each month. Messrs. Mills, Quarton and Ahlborn are the members from the Anaheim board of trade. According to Herman Stern, the committee in charge of the Fourth of July celebration has not yet accumulated sufficient money to pay the expenses of the affair, and he asked that the board get busy and assist in raising the balance. General Royer had written that companies of Uniform Rank, K. of P., from all sections of the intermountain country were coming—from Arizona to far-away Siskiyou—and he confidently expected Company 26 to extend the glad hand and entertain them with Anaheim's usual hospitality. The committee figures on a necessary expenditure of $1,200, and this sum has not yet all been secured. Messrs. Stern and H. M. Adams were appointed a committee to raise the balance. The Olive bridge proposition was introduced by Secretary Ahlborn, who spoke upon the absolute necessity for a new bridge to replace the dangerous structure now in use. On motion of Duckworth it was voted to bring the matter before the northern Orange county protective association, and as that body is, practically, a unit for the bridge some definite action will probably be taken. The bridge is a necessity and must be built was the decision of the board.
