PAVING OF LEMON STREET STILL PROTESTED ATTORNEY H. V. WEISEL, DR. BEEBE AND OTHERS APPEAL TO TRUSTEES IN VAIN RESOLUTION ORDERING WORK PASSED AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION THURSDAY NIGHT Vigorous protest against the paving of South Lemon street was filed Thursday evening at the meeting of the city trustees but it was of no avail. The board endorsed its former declaration and passed a resolution of intention to pave from North street to the southerly limits of the city. A protest signed by Mrs. Eva Beebe and a number of other property owners on that street was presented to the board. They represented 5,793 feet of the frontage on South Lemon street, and as this was a large majority of the holdings on that thoroughfare they demanded that the project of paving be abandoned. H. V. Weisel represented the protestants and made a spirited address in the interest of his clients. He said that he represented approximately 70 per cent of the property holdings on the street who were protesting against the proposition. A large percentage of the property which would be assessed for this expensive paving, he said, was merely acreage property. From the railroad south there was practically no traffic, and the street was overgrown with weeds. It was pratically confiscating, a recent fire the water pressure turned on had been so great that it overflowed in the basement of their building. They stated in their communication that the valves should be so constructed that damage could not occur. The pressure turned on, they stated, was 250 pounds per square inch. Hereafter when a fire occurs the siren will give but one long whistle as a warning and then announce the ward in which the fire is located. The board decided that one warning was sufficient before giving the district signal as it sometimes delayed the firemen when they were compelled to wait for three whistles. The fire chief was also instructed to prosecute any person sending in a false alarm of fire. The recent alarm sent in on North Olive where there was nothing more serious than a leaking automobile, the drippings from which took fire, cost the city $40. Any person sending in an alarm hereafter must have a good foundation for it or pay the expenses. THE CITY'S EXCHEQUER Mrs. Marie Pistorius, salary...$ 50.00 J. Kroeger, salary...15.00 A. L.

Calling upon all Republic state to sand by the old par- executive committee of the st the protestants and made a spirited address in the interest of his clients. He said that he represented approximately 70 per cent of the property holdings on the street who were protesting against the proposition. A large percentage of the property which would be assessed for this expensive paving, he said, was merely acreage property. From the railroad south there was practically no traffic, and the street was overgrown with weeds. It was pratically confiscating, he said, in some cases as the owners of property would be forced to sell their homes to pay for the paving. He said he had searched the records of the law and could find no act under which such proceedings could be taken. The action was a menace to poor people. It had always been the custom to allow the majority to rule and to decide a point, and his clients represented approximately 70 per cent of the property which it was proposed to tax for the pavement. Dr. J. L. Beebe also talked in opposition to the proposition. Dr. Beebe is the owner of ranch property which fronts on Lemon street from South to Broad, about 1,200 feet in length. A. E. Horner owns the opposite side and is also opposed to the paving. It will cost each of them in the neighborhood of $4,000 to put in the paving and they claim that this is practically confiscatory. Dr. Beebe said he would consent to the paving provided the supervisors would agree to connect Lemon street with the state highway but not otherwise. There was one block between the two roads and if Supervisor Schumacher, who was present, would guarantee that this block would be paved he would withdraw his objection. Mr. Schumacher stated that he could promise nothing but his support of the proposition as he had no authority to speak for other members of the board. He promised to lay the matter before them and do what he could towards having the short connection made. Mr. Hoerner also made a short but pointed address on the subject. He stated that he was absent from home when the proposition was first sprung but he was here now and his hat was in the ring. He would oppose the paving to the end of the fight. A resolution overruling the petition was then read and adopted, Trustees Nebelung, Stark, Hamler and Cook voting for it, and Trustee Gates no. Bids for the construction work on Lemon street will be opened and contract awarded on January 22d. An agreement between the city of Anaheim and J. S. Rockwell was read and accepted.

Bids for the construction work on Lemon street will be opened and contract awarded on January 22d. An agreement between the city of Anaheim and J. S. Rockwell was read and accepted. Mr. Rockwell agrees to take care of the septic tank and set out five acres of orange trees in consideration for what he can make from the 20-acre sewer farm. As Mr. Rockwell has grown some splendid crops during the past year he will probably come out ahead in this deal. It is the intention of the board to plant at least five acres of the sewer farm to oranges at the present time and possibly the entire farm will be set to trees eventually. As plenty of water is available there will be no expense for irrigation. Building permits were granted to the following persons: To E. W. Schlotter, frame residence on Adele street; cost $1,600. To E. L. Merrill, garage on Zeyn street; cost $150. To Mrs. E. H. Jennings, residence on West Center street; cost $1,800. To W. E. Jones, frame on South Los Angeles street; cost $100. To W. S. McFadden, two frame buildings on South Los Angeles street; cost $1,000. The resignation of John Hartung as city treasurer was received and accepted as Mr. Hartung contemplates leaving the city for an indefinite period. His son, Edgar Hartung, was unanimously chosen for the office in his stead. A communication was received from Dreyfus Brothers stating that during Frank Mauer 1.50 Total $4,692.30 WATER USERS WIN FIRST ROUND Big Irrigation Case Over Yorba Linda Water Rights The Yorba Linda landowners won the first legal round in the fight of the landowners against the promoters of the tract. Attorneys Haas and Dunigan, representing Jacob Stern, M. N. Newmark, H. W. Franks and the Janss Investment Co. interests, asked Judge Thomas to have the case transferred to Los Angels county. Attorneys Francis J. Heney and Carr for the water users opposed this motion for a change of venue, and quickly won a decision. Heney declared that the law was all his way on that point. The next argument was upon a demurrer of the defendants, and a lengthy argument it has proved. Attorney Haas occupied up to within a few minutes of noon arguing that the complaint is indefinite and uncertain in many instances. Heney then began argument to show that the complaint is all that it should be. The water users declare that the promoters of the tract so manipulated the stock of the water company that when the land was all sold off the promoters still had control of the water company, that a bond issue of $175,000 was turned over to the Janss Investment Co. without compensation, and that the water users are called on to pay assessments to pay interest on those bonds. Attorney Haas argued that the stock of the company was raised and the bonds issued before the property owners bought the land, and that with a trust deed on record to cover the bonds, the buyers were legally presumed to be informed of the situation. He said the company has the legal right to make the assessments. There is little probability that a rulling on the demurrer will be secured.

Figures of registration, filed in the county's office early in the week showed Republicans registering 3 to 1 in Orange county against Progressives. The results are: Republican, 911; Democrat, 503; Progressive, 356; Prohibitionist, 141; Socialist, 50; delineation to date, 262. From many counties of the state, north and south, comes similar reports concerning registration. Republicans calling all parties by large majorities. Old-line Republicans, who stand for tariff upon citrus fruits, walnuts and other products of the soil, and who are voted the ticket straight for more than a generation, are flocking to the standards in defense of their party's principles, and on every side resentment is expressed at the efforts of the Johnson-Heney aggregation to destroy the Republican party in this state. What Orange county and California will be overwhelmingly Republican ads of but very little doubt, judging by the registration returns from all sections of the county and common health. Calling upon all Republicans in the state to sand by the old party, the executive committee of the state central political ambitions of any man or set of men. "Sounding phrases will not furnish employment for the marching men in the streets of our cities. They will not undo the injuries worked upon our farmers and laboring men. They will not put dimes in the tills of the neighborhood merchants, nor still the cries of hungry children. They will not decrease the enormously increased cost of government. "Genuine progress deals not with the past, but with the present, for the future. This is no time for recrimination; for filling the air with 'standpat' and 'reactionary' appeals to the passions of undiscriminating men and women. "The very existence of the many enterprises upon which the prosperity of this state and its people are dependent is contingent upon dominance of a genuine Republican party, controlled by Republicans, through a representative government. "For these things this committee stands. For the accomplishment of these purposes it asks the co-operation of all men and women who believe in constructive government, in legislation measured by the standard of quality rather than quantity; in the rights of men, not in the glorification, nor the harassment or debasement of any class of men." Bomb For Progressives Confirming the rumors of several weeks, and following the action of W.R. Davis, chairman of the Finance Committee of the Johnson campaign four years ago, Mayor Frank Mott of Oakland recently made his position clear when he registered as a Republican. Mott's action, while expected among regular Republicans in close touch with affairs, was a bomb in the ranks of the Progressives of Alameda county. That county is a hotbed of Johnson supporters, and is the only one, except Sacramento, where the Progressives lead in registration. The action of Mott shows that he has broken with County Treasurer "Mike" Kelly, the Progressive boss in Alameda county, and has caused more talk among Bull Moose ranks there than any one thing since the registration opened. Kelly has tried in every way to make a big showing on the registration of Progressives, with the aid of Speaker C.C. Young of the last Assembly, but the action of such men as Mott... Calling upon all Republicans in the state to sand by the old party, the executive committee of the state central committee issued a statement at a meeting held Saturday, referring to the accomplishments of the party in the past and its hopes for the future. The statement is signed by Gustave Brenner of San Francisco, Robert Sweeney of Los Angeles, Francis V. Keesling of Francisco, F. C. Roberts of Long Beach, D. G. Gochenauer of San Diego, Bank H. Short of Fresno, Charles M. Shaw of Antioch, M. R. Jones of Martinez, Charles E. Clinch of Grass Valley, C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, A. F. Mixon of Woodland and Thomas Jint of San Juan. The statement is as follows: "The Republican state central committee is determined to redeem its obligation to the Republicans of California. That obligation involves the solidification of a dominant Republican party in this state; organized on issues consonant with genuine Republican principles—the principles which underlie the progress and stability of this nation." "This committee calls for the active party co-operation of every loyal Republican; of every citizen whose hopes are bound up in the peace and prosperity of this state and the nation; who believes in honest, efficient, purposeful government for all the people, by all the people." "The Republican party is the proven party of prosperity; of progress. It has never been otherwise. Because of popular carelessness unfit men have come time to time been able to use the Republican party for their improper and corrupt purposes. The party has ever been and ever will be prompt to turn them out of its councils and out of participation in the affairs of the government. Every reform in governmental method; every achievement on behalf of the men and women who oil; every check upon the subordination of government to privilege; every carrier thrown between the American laborer and pauperized foreign competition since the birth of the Republican party has been wrought out of Republican principles by Republicans." "The history of our country for more than half a century irrefutably records the sorry fact that whenever any other party, no matter by what name it has been known has taken over responsibility for government, a brake has been put upon progress, prosperity has been checked; panicky conditions, uneast, wage reductions and an utter lack of business stability have been immediately and irretrievably consequent." "A house divided against itself must call." "This bitter truth has been brought home products of the soil, and who have voted the ticket straight for more than a generation, are flocking to the standards in defense of their party's principles, and on every side resentment is expressed at the efforts of the Johnson-Heney aggregation to destroy the Republican party in this state. At Orange county and California will be overwhelmingly Republican adults of but very little doubt, judging by the registration returns from all sections of the county and common health." That county is a hotbed of Johnson supporters, and is the only one, except Sacramento, where the Progressives lead in registration. The action of Mott shows that he has broken with County Treasurer "Mike" Kelly, the Progressive boss in Alameda county, and has caused more talk among Bull Moose ranks there than any one thing since the registration opened. Kelly has tried in every way to make a big showing on the registration of Progressives, with the aid of Speaker C. C. Young of the last Assembly, but the action of such men as Mott and Davis is a sore blow to the hopes of the Progressive party. In a statement issued after his registration, Mayor Mott pointed out that everything that had been accomplished in the state had been done by the Republican party, and that the Johnson administration was elected as Republican. He said that he saw no reason why such internal differences as existed could not be settled by the party within itself, and so intended to continue to be ranked as he had been in the past—as a Republican. ROMANTIC ELOPMENT OF ORANGE GIRLS Efforts Will Be Made to Annual Marriage or Youngest Bride Charles G. Ramsey, a well-to-do farmer of Orange, hastened to this city yesterday on learning that his oldest daughter, Gertrude Emma, had been married. He had not been consulted, it appears, and therefore he made haste to investigate. On his arrival he discovered to his astonishment and dismay, that not only had Gertrude become a bride, but that his youngest daughter, Adelia, 15 years of age, had become enmeshed in the bonds of matrimony. Then Ramsey's ire arose. Trembling with indignation he called upon the police and the district attorney, threatening dire consequences for the bridegrooms in the case. On Monday afternoon, in the tower at East San Diego, a double wedding took place, at which A. A. Schilling, the new justice of the peace, presided. He united in marriage Gertrude Emma Ramsey and R. M. Washburn and Adelia Ramsey and Ross John Zink. The double ceremony was witnessed by a large crowd and the justice, immediately after performing the ceremony, implanted a kiss on the ruby lips of each of the brides, who are exceptionally pretty. The four drove away in an automobile—which machine, by the way, is the property of Ramsey—amid a shower of rice. The quartet engaged rooms in the Aviation apartments, 2251 Brant street, but yesterday a large, dark cloud arose over the horizon of their happiness. Detectives Lopez and Brigance appeared upon the scene and informed them that Ramsey was upon their trail. The younger bride was engaged in public principles by Republicans. "The history of our country for more than half a century irrefutably records the sorry fact that whenever any other party, no matter by what name it has been known has taken over responsibility for government, a brake has been put upon progress, prosperity has been checked; panicky conditions, unrest, wage reductions and an utter lack of business stability have been immediately and irretrievably consequent. "A house divided against itself must fall. "This bitter truth has been brought home most painfully to the Republicans of this state and of the nation. "A divided Republican party in California and throughout the Union gave the affairs of this country into the hands of the avowed enemies of the principles upon which the prosperity and progress of the American people are dependent—gave the country into the hands of the representatives of a minority. "That division it was which permitted staggering blows to be struck at the fruit, sugar growing and manufacturing, wool, meat and grain growing industries of California. "Hard upon that division reappeared the soup kitchens, the municipal lodging-house and the parades of the unemployed, which were unknown in the country under Republican guidance from 1897 to 1913. "In this state and throughout the country employer and employee are now paying the price of the demagogue's arrayal of man against man; his appeal to a false class conscience. In the name of progress we have retrograded twenty years to the conditions of 1893. "That the people of other states have been quick to appreciate the cause of their troubles is evidenced by the returns from the elections in the East. They are hastening back to the Republican fold. "The time has come for all the Republicans in California to remember that they are Republicans; that the welfare of their country, their own pocketbooks, their own firesides, are infinitely of more moment than the ORANGE COUNTY GETS PRIZE J. C. Metzgar, secretary of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, received a letter from the Tournament of Roses committee of Pasadena, Friday, stating that the Orange county float had been awarded a special prize, a silver cup, which will be forwarded as soon as it is engraved. The committee warmly commended the Orange county float and sent its best wishes to this splendid and prosperous county. The float on New Year's day was awarded fourth prize among the floats entered by civic bodies outside of Pasadena."
