PROTEST AGAINST LEMON STREET PAVING 70 PER CENT OF PROPERTY HOLDERS FILE OBJECTION WITH CITY TRUSTEES THURSDAY L. A. PAVING COMPANY AWARDED THE CONTRACT FOR PAVING EAST CENTER Violent opposition to the proposed paving of Lemon street developed at Thursday night's meeting of the city trustees when Dr. J. L. Beebe, accompanied by Attorney O. T. Cailor, appeared with a protest signed by a majority of property owners on that thoroughfare. The opposition was started after the trustees added to the original plans the 1,200-foot stretch from South to Broad street, which is now ranch land and the frontage of which is owned by Dr. J. L. Beebe and R. A. Hoerner. These gentlemen appeared before the board at a previous meeting and protested against including it in the paving ordinance as it was merely ranch property and the $8,000 it would cost meant confiscation. It was at first proposed to pave this block with a cheaper pavement but Judge Shanley was present and asked that the entire street be paved from the north to the south city limits with uniform pavement. This was so ordered but the protestants did not lay down. Thursday night they appeared, accompanied by O. T. Cailor, and armed with a petition containing the signatures of the owners of 71 per cent of the frontage on Lemon street protesting against the paving of the street. The signatures to the petition were Bethel Baptist church, Henry Hussman, Robert McKee, Simon Lybarger, Charles E. Cowan, R. A. Hoerner, M. S. Carrisosa, Mrs. N. G. Perry, Mrs. E. R. Turk, E. and N. Anubt, Gustav Springath, Dr. J. L. Beebe, Elena Davis, Louise Boege, J. W. Dickenson, Godfrey Betz, Juan Puis, Mrs. A. Heffner, J. P. Gibson, K. Dunne, H. Eva Beebe, C. E. of the ordinance covering this matter. Joseph Lieb petitioned for and was granted a salary of $90 per month instead of $80 as heretofore, the increase beginning October 1. J. H. Clabaugh, agent of the Santa Fe railroad, petitioned for a release of the $50 demanded from patrons making sewer connections. The Anaheim Taxpayers' League was granted permission to erect a tent at the corner of Center and Lemon streets for the purpose of holding meetings during the wet and dry campaign. The Santa Ana Automobile Club was given permission to pass through the city on the Los Angeles to Phoenix races on November 3. The races will be compelled to switch into Lemon street owing to the paving operations on Los Angeles street. Twenty-six cases were tried in the recorder's court during the month, the flues aggregating $96. The following are the reports of officials for the month: Marshal's Report Licenses collected ... $1,128.00 Delinquents reported ... 7.25 Treasurer's Report Cash on hand last report... $7,644.92 Collected ... 4,945.95 Total ... $12,388.87 Paid by warrants ... 6,685.15 Balance on hand ... $5,703.72 Library Fund Balance last statement... $272.11 Paid by warrants ... 80.00 On hand ... $192.11 Summary General fund ... $5,703.72 Imp. bond, 1910 ... 1,269.66 Library fund ... 192.11 Imp No. 2 ... 115.50 Electric light, No. 6 ... 11.14 Sewer fund ... 112.50 Total on hand ... $7,604.63 THE CITY'S EXCHEQUER Mrs. Marie Pistorius, salary... $50.00 Jacob Kroeger, salary ... 15.00 A.

Cailor, and armed with a petition containing the signatures of the owners of 71 per cent of the frontage on Lemon street protesting against the paving of the street. The signatures to the petition were Bethel Baptist church, Henry Hussman, Robert McKee, Simon Lybarger, Charles E. Cowan, R. A. Hoerry, M. S. Carrisosa, Mrs. N. G. Perry, Mrs. E. R. Turk, E. and N. Aubert, Gustav Springath, Dr. J. L. Beebe, Elena Davis, Louise Boege, J. W. Dickenson, Godfrey Betz, Juan Puis, Mrs. A. Heffner, J. P. Gibson, K. Dunne, H. Eva Beebe, C. E. Holcomb, H. E. des Granges, W. J. Holcomb, Kate des Granges, Mary Dauser, Clementine Langerberger, Jas. Owens, Mary E. Jones, Earl Crist, Jos. Backs, Clara Fisher, August Backs, Alvira Backs and H. W. Comstock. The total lineal feet of the frontage on Lemon street is 6,030 north of Center and 8,397 south of that street, making an aggregate of 14,497 feet. The protestants represented 4,655 feet of North Lemon and 5,575 of the south end, a total of 10,230 feet, or about 70 per cent of the frontage on the street. Mr. Callor, who represented the protestants, made a short address in presenting the petition. He said all towns were presumed to be progressive (he meant the use of the word to have no political significance) and Anaheim was no exception to the general rule. It was possible, however, to carry a good thing too far and invoke a hardship under the guise of a benefit. The paving of Lemon street, he said, would cost about $40,000, and the protestants, whose names appeared on the petition would be compelled to pay $28,000 of this sum, leaving only $12,000 to be paid by the property owners favoring the more. If the pavement was confined to the limits of the town there would be no protest but it was unreasonable to carry it out into the country and include acreage property in the costly improvement. Most of the property owners north of Sycamore and south of Santa Ana streets were opposed to it and he thought the work should be limited to the stretch between those two streets. It would cost Dr. Beebe $4,000 and his property was assessed at $1,300. It would cost the Aubert sisters $2,500, which was unreasonable considering the assessed valuation of the property, and others were named to prove that the cost was out of proportion to the value of the frontage. Four-fifths of the street, he said, are opposed to the paving which is a very unpopular proposition on Lemon street. Dr. J. L. Beebe made a short talk along the same lines giving some substantial reasons why his ranch property should not be compelled to pay for costly paving, and Judge Shanley speaking for the advocates of paving also addressed the board in his usual forceful style. "You have passed the ordinance," he said, "ordering Lemon street paved to Broad street. Lay this remonstrance on the table and get busy with the work." On motion of Stark the matter was laid over for consideration at the next regular meeting. There is a possibility that the protest will cause the abandonment of the Lemon street Mrs. Marie Pistorius, salary...$ 50.00 Jacob Kroeger, salary...15.00 A. L. Lewis, salary...150.00 Ad.

"You have passed the ordinance," he said, "ordering Lemon street paved to Broad street. Lay this remonstrance on the table and get busy with the work." On motion of Stark the matter was laid over for consideration at the next regular meeting. There is a possibility that the protest will cause the abandonment of the Lemon street paving movement for the present. Only one bid was submitted for the pavement of East Center street in response to the recent advertisement. It was filed by the L. A. Paving Company, the firm that is now paving Los Angeles street, and the figure is 15.5 per foot. This is 1.6 cents above the cost of the work let under the previous contract, but Mr. Werdin, superintendent of the paving company, explained that the bonds with which the work would be paid for will draw only 6 per cent interest instead of 7 per cent as in the previous issue. An agreement between the city of Anaheim and Edwin Burns for a five-year lease of the Gilbert ranch in the city of Stanton was entered into. Mr. Burns pays $1,000 per year for the place. The 14 head of cows on the farm were sold to Mr. Valazier, who has had charge of the place the past year, the price being $490, or $35 per head. Manager Todd, of the Southern Counties Gas Company, entered a protest against ordinance No. 265, regulating plumbing in the city. He said that under its provisions the addition of a foot of pipe or the moving of a gas stove from across a room necessitated an inspection by the plumbing inspector at a cost of $1, and it cost an average of $65 per month. The plumbing inspector and city attorney were instructed to change the section FOREST NOTES There are about 37 pines native to the United States, of which 25 are western species, and 12 eastern. Paraguay has valuable forest resources, the most important of which is quebracho, particularly rich in tannin. Much of the cork used throughout the world comes from Portugal, which harvests about 50,000 tons a year. Germany is said to have an oversupply of foresters; so that well-educated men have hard work to secure even inferior positions. One of the largest forest nurseries in the United States is conducted by the forest service near Haugen, Montana. It is known as the Savenac nursery and has a capacity of 4,000,000 young trees a year. The forests of Norway are mostly in private or municipal ownership, the nation owning 28.5 per cent of the total forest area. The national forests of the United States occupy only about 20 per cent of the total forest area of the country. "What new dishes have you had since you have had your new French cook?"

READY TO DYKE RIVER AT OLIVE BRIDGE COMMITTEE HAS A SPIRITED CONFERENCE WITH BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DISTRICT ATTORNEY WEST RENDS AN OPINION ADVERSE TO THE MATTER The Olive bridge committee, composed of Geo. L. Dietrich, L. Dahlmann, E. A. Day, J. Frederick Ahlborn and Dr. H. A. Johnston, appeared before the Board of Supervisors on Wednesday of last week to have a look into the status quo of the proposed Olive bridge. The committee appeared at the court house rather early in order to learn what the Board of Supervisors might have in store for them. Surveyor McBride's office was first invaded. The much-desired official channel for the Santa Ana river was discussed, the obliging county surveyor explained his proposed channel for the river, the proposed protection for the new bridge was viewed and weighed from every angle, maps were studied but no knowledge as to how the honorable board of supervisors felt about these matters could be gained. Supervisor Struck of Orange appeared on the scene and was joyfully received by the committee in the hope that he would shed some light on the situation and if any persuasion would be found necessary to bring him into line, the committee was prepared to open up on him with all the heavy artillery and gatling guns at their command. That gentleman, however, seemed as anxious as the committee to build the Olive bridge. In regard to the river channel and the placing of the protection for the bridge, the committee was informed that the district attorney was preparing an opinion covering all these matters and that the board of supervisors would be guided by it. The time for the meeting of the board had now arrived. Chairman Tal- would shed some light on the situation and if any persuasion would be found necessary to bring him into line, the committee was prepared to open up on him with all the heavy artillery and gatling guns at their command. That gentleman, however, seemed as anxious as the committee to build the Olive bridge. In regard to the river channel and the placing of the protection for the bridge, the committee was informed that the district attorney was preparing an opinion covering all these matters and that the board of supervisors would be guided by it. The time for the meeting of the board had now arrived. Chairman Talbert being absent, Supervisor Smith officiated as presiding officer. A resolution from the Northern Orange County Protective Association endorsing and recommending the early construction of the Olive bridge was read. Chairman Smith asked if some one present had anything to say regarding the resolution. Mr. Ahlborn responded and explained that the resolution was passed by the association in sympathy with the resolution recently passed by the Anaheim board of trade asking the board of supervisors to declare an official river channel, so the people of Anaheim could proceed with the securing of funds and placing of the protection work for the approaches and thus the early construction of the bridge be assured. He further impressed upon the board the dangerous condition of the present structure, the avidity of the people of northern Orange county to have the board act at once in the matter so as to open up the great highway from Riverside and San Bernardino through northern Orange county to Los Angeles and the beaches. This brought the Olive bridge matter squarely before the meeting. Supervisor Leck expressed his willingness and anxiety to have the Olive bridge built at an early date. Chairman Smith informed the committee that the district attorney had written an opinion regarding this matter and County Clerk Williams was asked to read the same. According to the district attorney, the supervisors would lay themselves liable in case any damage was caused by overflows on account of the bridge spanning only 600 feet of the river bed, that it would be inadvisable to build the bridge until after the dikes shall have been built and it becomes thereby certain that the waters of the river will be confined to the 600-foot channel at the point where the bridge is to be constructed at a time of extraordinary high water. Further, it is not the duty of the board of supervisors or the district attorney's office to formulate a plan for protecting the bridge or keeping the river within the 600-foot channel at the bridge, or to do the work necessary to produce the desired result. He advised that the persons interested in so protecting their land from overflow, and in narrowing the channel, should proceed to formulate plans to construct the protection work and when the work is completed, the board may then proceed to construct the bridge. Santa Ana, Cal., Oct. 8, 1913. To the Board of Supervisors of Orange County, California. It is further my opinion that should the board vote a resolution to construct such a bridge and its approaches, and should such a bridge and approaches be constructed pursuant to said resolution, and should damages thereafter accrue to any person by reason of the construction of such a bridge and also by reason of the same covering only a portion of the natural channel of the river, without first having adequate provision made for properly taking care of the water which naturally flows over the old river bed, then the county would be liable for such damages and probably each member of the board who votes for such a resolution and takes part in the construction of such a bridge and its approaches. I mention this to show you the importance of the adjacent land owners first constructing the proposed dikes and other proposed protection work to protect their land from overflow, as contemplated by them before said proposed bridge is constructed. It is not my purpose to discourage no one therein, but in a nutshell, I simply suggest that the persons interested in this work employ counsel and proceed legally to construct a proper protection to prevent their land from overflow, and that after this is done the county can safely proceed to the construction of said bridge. Seventh: I would suggest the advisability of the adjacent land owners and other persons interested in preventing overflow to their land, associating themselves together, and those of them who own the land upon which the proposed work is to be done shall grant easements to all of such associated persons together for the construction of such proposed work, such easements to run with the land and thereby preventing the removal hereafter of the proposed protection work, except upon the consent of all interested land owners. This is merely a suggestion and whether this plan be adopted or not, some such plan can be formulated which will insure to the parties interested the permanency of the work they desire to do, if such work shall be done. This suggestion need cause no delay as the work can be prosecuted as expeditiously as the interested parties desire. This suggestion is offered as the nearest solution of the problem in the absence of the formation of a protection district, which I am informed it is useless to mention at the present time. L. A. WEST, Dist. Atty. October 8, 1913. Mr. Ahlborn protested against this view of the district attorney, saying that if the supervisors would become responsible for any overflow caused by new structure, then he saw no Further, it is not the duty of the board of supervisors or the district attorney's office to formulate a plan for protecting the bridge or keeping the river within the 600-foot channel at the bridge, or to do the work necessary to produce the desired result. He advised that the persons interested in so protecting their land from overflow, and in narrowing the channel, should proceed to formulate plans to construct the protection work and when the work is completed, the board may then proceed to construct the bridge. Santa Ana, Cal., Oct. 8, 1913. To the Board of Supervisors of Orange County, California: Gentlemen—In the matter of the diking of the Santa Ana river above the Olive bridge, at your suggestion I have been carefully over the ground since your last meeting and have examined into and considered the powers of the board in relation thereto, and I am of the opinion as follows: First: I am reliably informed that the land under the river bed from the northerly terminus of the Newbert protection district and extending northerly therefrom to the county line is the property of individual or private parties, subject, of course, to the right of the public to have the river flow in its natural channel. Second: I understand that it is the desire of the county board to construct a new bridge across said river at the point where the present Olive bridge crosses the same but that it is also the desire of the said board to shorten said bridge to a length of approximately 600 feet instead of about 1,600 feet as herefore, and that by reason of doing so it will be necessary that some provision be made to protect the approaches to said bridge by building dikes along the river banks in some suitable way to force the water flowing along said stream under said bridge as so shortened. Third: I understand further that certain residents of the neighborhood whose lands will also receive protec- This suggestion need cause no delay as the work can be prosecuted as expeditiously as the interested parties desire. This suggestion is offered as the nearest solution of the problem in the absence of the formation of a protection district, which I am informed it is useless to mention at the present time. L. A. WEST, Dist. Atty. October 8, 1913. Mr. Ahlborn protested against this view of the district attorney, saying that if the supervisors would become responsible for any overflow caused by the new structure, then he saw no reason why suit should not be brought against the board of supervisors now in order to recover damage caused by the last overflow of the river, caused by the west approach to the present bridge, which runs into the river channel for a distance of 500 feet. The people of Anaheim and Garden Grove had spent money and labor to put the river back into its bed and nothing was ever said about claiming any damage. That the supervisors were building bridges in other portions of the county and the people were not asked to build dikes to keep the streams within their channel and protect the approaches to the bridges and saw no reason why the people of Anaheim should be asked to do this before the supervisors could lawfully proceed to build the bridge. However, the people of Anaheim were willing and were now ready to build the dikes and protection necessary to keep the river within the 600-foot channel and protect the approaches to the bridge, if the supervisors would only assist in getting the channel established, so the people would know where to place the protection. Chairman Smith said that the committee could readily see by the district attorney's opinion, that the supervisors had done all they could do according to law, that they were anxious to build the bridge but were prevented to do so under the existing circum- Thursday, October 16 The First National Bank OF ANAHEIM United States Depository for the Postal Savings System Capital, $50,000.
