WIN BATTLE FOR ORNAMENTAL LIGHTS PETITION OF PROPERTY OWNERS ON CENTER AND LOS ANGELES STS. GRANTED BY TRUSTEES ALL WIRES WITHIN THE DISTRICT TO BE PLACED UNDERGROUND AND POLES REMOVED Ornamental street lights for the central section of town are now assured. The idea was born in the brain of Postmaster Ahlborn five years ago, but the persons most concerned were slow in coming to its support. Those who favored it from the start, however, have kept it alive, aired it, exhibited it, nourished it, and finally strengthened it until the idea has crystallized into a certainty, and another civic improvement is assured. Not only will the ornamental posts and cluster lights adorn the streets, but the unsightly poles will be removed and all wires be placed underground. A delegation of property owners within the district accompanied Mr. Ahlborn to the city hall Thursday night while the trustees were in session and reminded that body that a year ago it had agreed to grant the request, to push the matter through, and pay for the posts whenever the property owners were ready to proceed and to pay the cost of installation and all costs aside from the posts. In the party were C. O. Rust, Edgar Hartung, John Ziegler, Frank Shanley, Napoleon Hart and Dr. F. H. Houck, all interested in property in the prescribed district. They announced that all property owners within the district, with two or three exceptions, had signed an agreement to pay a taxation of $1 per front foot for the immediate action.

The figures show that resulted in a wiped out and has been voted in primaries elections was in that in the present years ago but even the republicans district of New York in the congressional 40 per cent yet was 98 per cent Iowa district,the vote compared very well yet the reps per cent.In the Pennsylvania,the per cent less than presidential election but the republican cent. One of the more Four blocks of Center and four of Los Angeles streets will be lighted, the territory extending from Emily to Clementina and from Cypress to Broadway. It is the intention to erect one post on the corner of each block and two between the corners, making 64 posts in all. A cluster of five lights will top each of the posts, all of them to shine until 9 o'clock, and one from that hour until morning. The delegation asked the trustees to proceed under the street lighting act, because of the two or three objects, and agreed to pay the expense incurred by such procedure. Accordingly City Attorney Ames was instructed to begin at once on the necessary initial steps. Mr. Ames was also requested to communicate with the telephone companies relative to placing their wires underground along these streets and removing their poles. They had previously signified a willingness to do this. Many persons living farther out on Center and Los Angeles streets have asked that the system be extended, but the committee in charge of the work decided to delay on longer in getting the matter started. The lights will eventually be extended the full length of these streets, it is believed. The city will purchase the posts which will cost in the neighborhood of $45 each. City Attorney Ames, who has been wrestling with the city's pay roll relative to the cost of protective insurance, reported that it would cost $84.24 to insure the city against loss by reason of injury to any of its employees. This is in accordance with the rate fixed by the state. Private companies will take risks at a much lower rate but the state law prohibits a municipal insuring with a private company unless its application has previously been rejected by the state. Mr. Ames' report was accepted but no action taken in the matter. E. R. Werdin, of the L. A. Paving Company, submitted the only bid received for paving the street intersections of Lincoln avenue, North Lemon and North Philadelphia streets. His figures were, for Lincoln avenue, 14.76, for North Lemon 15 cents, and for North Philadelphia 14.75. His bids were accepted and the city attorney instructed to draw up the contracts. This gives the L. A. Paving Company the contract for all the street work so far ordered. The terms of office as trustees of the library board of Miss E. Kate Rea and Mrs. H. G. Ames having expired Mayor Cook re-appointed them to succeed themselves, the same being ratified by LIBRARY HEARING IS POSTPONED Supervisors Fix Wednesday, August 5 as Date For Considering Matter The board of supervisors on Wednesday continued the hearing upon the proposal to establish a free county library. Further hearing was set for August 5 at 2 o'clock. The reason for postponement was that the supervisors desire to have the matter taken up and discussed by the Associated Chambers of Commerce. J. A. Armitage of Sunset Beach, who is chairman of a committee appointed by the Associated Chambers to investigate the proposal, asked that the matter be put off so that his committee may have time to make an investigation. Armitage said that he thought that his committee would make no report upon the kind of library service to be established, whether by establishing a new library or by letting a contract to a municipal library. It would probably go no further than to say whether or not a county library is desired. About twenty-five women were present... The terms of office as trustees of the library board of Miss E. Kate Rea and Mrs. H. G. Ames having expired Mayor Cook re-appointed them to succeed themselves, the same being ratified by the trustees. Both City Marshal Kellenberger and Street Superintendent Sackett applied for permission to grant vacations to the men under them. Both requests were granted, the time of absence being limited to 10 days. The bondsmen of Curt Peckstein who last week throw up his job as street sweeper were released from any liability. Building permits were granted to the following persons: To I. O. O. F. hall, galvanized iron shed in rear on West Chartres street; cost $100. To E. L.

G.O.P.WILLSWEEP COUNTRY IN ELECTIONS RETURNS FROM MANY STATES SHOW GROUND SWELL IN FAVOR OF REPUBLICAN PARTY PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT PETERING OUT, REPUBLICANS SHOW EVERYWHERE GREAT GAINS Washington, July 5—Official figures of recent elections, primaries and registrations in different parts of the country reveal sweeping republican gains and corresponding democratic and progressive losses. A careful analysis of these figures, just completed, shows unmistakably the trend of political sentiment from Maine to California. The swing back to republican victory is on. The figures show that the condition that resulted in the election of Wilson is wiped out and that the readjustment has been favorable to the republican party in every instance. The total vote in primaries and congressional elections was, in most cases, less than that in the presidential election two years ago, but even in these instances the republicans gained. In the 7th district of New Jersey, the total vote in the congressional election fell away 40 per cent, yet the republican gain was 98 per cent over 1912. In the 2nd Iowa district, the decrease in the total vote, compared with 1912, was 38 per cent, yet the republican gain was 27 per cent. In the senatorial primary in Pennsylvania, the total vote was 49 per cent less than the total vote in the presidential election two years ago, but the republican gain was 21 per cent.

REDUCED POWER RATE Recently the city of Fullerton found that the power bill at the municipal water plant was running high. The city trustees asked for a reduction in the power rate of 2 cents per kilowatt hour, which has been paid for some time. The company has just made a rate to the city of about 1½ cents per kilowatt hour, which will mean a saving to the city of over $75 a month in its power bill. LA HABRA'S NEW SCHOOL Plans for the new $35,000 grammar school building for the La Hebra district are now in the hands of the architect. The building is to be of reinforced concrete with plaster exterior and built around patios, following the Italian school of architecture. Brown tiling will surmount the roof. There will be a large assembly room and six class rooms, the principal's room, a library, janitor's room and a large storage room. PECULIAR TO CALIFORNIA California is finishing the harvesting of the greatest apricot crop ever gathered in the state, and that means in the world. The crop is estimated to run in the whole state to 200,000,000 pounds of fresh apricots, and it is thought that the shipment of dried apricots will total 40,000,000 pounds. The revenue for the state will be about $4,000,000, and there will have been distributed for labor in gathering and preparing the fruit for market a matter... the republicans gained. In the 7th district of New Jersey, the total vote in the congressional election fell away 40 per cent, yet the republican gain was 98 per cent over 1912. In the 2nd Iowa district, the decrease in the total vote compared with 1912, was 38 per cent, yet the republican gain was 27 per cent. In the senatorial primary in Pennsylvania, the total vote was 49 per cent less than the total vote in the presidential election two years ago, but the republican gain was 21 per cent. One of the most significant of the returns is that of the Minnesota election for governor, in which the republican gain was 203 per cent, in spite of the fact that the total vote was 27 per cent less than the vote for president in 1912. A comparison of the votes cast at recent elections and primaries and the results of registrations, with the votes cast for Wilson, Taft and Roosevelt, in 1912, follows: Results of Special Congressional Elections 3d District, Maine, Sept. 8, 1913 Wilson 14,692 Pattangall 14,556 Taft 7,159 Peters 15,016 Roosevelt 13,235 Lawrence 6,558 Dem. loss 9-100 per cent; Rep. gain 110; Prog. loss 50; total vote increased 2 per cent. 1st District, West Virginia, Oct. 14, '13.

This apricot crop is peculiar to California, that grown in other states being very small comparatively. One of the few California products one finds in almost every large city in the world is the apricot, dried and canned. STOPS DRILLING TO GO VISITING Thomas Strain of Fullerton has stopped work on his oil well at a depth of 4100 feet, placed a lock over the top of the hole and departed for a trip to his old home in Ireland. The well has cost $80,000, but as Mr. Strain has an income of $40,000 a year from his orange grove, he is not worring. When he returns from his visit to the old country he will resume operations on the hole, as he is confident he will strike oil. There is a good showing in the well some oil has been found and many gas pockets struck. The hole is near producing wells. FATHER NUNAN'S WILL The late Rev.
