CITY HALL PLANS CONSIDERED BY BOARD E. M. DURFEE, ARCHITECT, SUBMITTED DRAWINGS FOR SPLENDID MUNICIPAL BUILDING CITY IS THREATENED WITH LAW SUIT FOR DAMAGE TO HEDGE BY STREET PAVERS Plans for the new city hall were submitted to the trustees Thursday night by J. M. Hitchcock, representative of M. E. Durfee, the Anaheim architect. Two plans were drawn by the architect for the exterior, one being in the mission style, with red and orange brick and tile, and one in the general public building style of architecture. The building will extend from the eastern wall of the present building to Claudina street, and from Center street to the alley. The bull pen where offenders against the ordinances are now compelled to earn their daily bread by breaking rock, will be surrounded and be a portion of the building. According to the plans every official with one or two exceptions will have an office of his own and his work will be segregated. The jail, which is incorporated within the building, will be reached by a passage from the alley, thus obviating the necessity of taking prisoners in through the front. A stairway leading from the jail to the recorder's court room will enable officers to conduct prisoners from their cells to the hall of justice without coming in contact with other persons in the build- with natural gas. Permission was not granted but the public improvements committee will investigate and report. In case of favorable action the post must be uniform with the ornamental posts soon to be erected on Center and Los Angeles streets. Building permits were granted to the following applicants: To Laura A. Faulkner, frame residence on Adele street. Cost $550. To Herman P. Noll, frame residence on Zeyn street. Cost $2500. To the Gauahl Lumber Company, frame warehouse on Santa Ana street. Cost $800. To Addle M. and J. E. Nevins, frame residence on Los Angeles street. Cost $3000. To Henly & Jones, frame residence on South Claudina street. Cost $1200. This firm asked for three permits on the same street, each costing $1200. To the high school, addition to frame barn on E. Center street. Cost $200. To the high school, frame building for athletics. Cost $800. Recorder Howard reported 26 cases in his court during the month and $170 in fines collected. Following are the reports of various city officials: Marshall's Report Collected for Licenses ... $1,089.25 Rate Collector's Report Collected for light ... 1,686.80 Collected for water ... 1,651.02 Total ... $3,337.87 Delinquents Collected For light ... $166.50 For Water ... 147.80 Penalties ... 24.85 Total ... $339.15 Delinquents Reported For light ... $43.50 For water ... 74.10 Total ... $117.60 Treasurer's Report plans every official with one or two exceptions will have an office of his own and his work will be segregated. The jail, which is incorporated within the building, will be reached by a passage from the alley, thus obviating the necessity of taking prisoners in through the front. A stairway leading from the jail to the recorder's court room will enable officers to conduct prisoners from their cells to the hall of justice without coming in contact with other persons in the building. The fire department's quarters will front on Claudina street. This portion of the building is similar to the plans prepared by O. E. Steward for the fire house on Hermine street, and practically of the same dimensions. There will be a runway for draining and drying the hose, and three living rooms are prepared for the residence of the watchman who will always be on the job. One of the conveniences, which has long been needed, is a ladies' rest room on the Claudina street side, with lavatory and all conveniences added. The only objections to the plans were that the offices of the city clerk and rate collector were given a subordinate position to the city engineer. As these are the two important offices where the public transac's its business with the city, Mr. Hitchcock was instructed to alter the plans and give these two offices the most convenient places. They will be on the ground floor. The print will be modified and submitted at the next regular meeting of the trustees. Other plans will probably be presented, an architect from Santa Ana being present collecting information as to the desires of the board. Dr. J. W. Truxaw, city health officer, submitted a list of appointees as members of the board of health. As the old board was still in existence and nobody knew who composed it, the places were declared vacant and Dr. Truxaw's list of appointees confirmed. With the city health officer as chairman the board consists of City Marshall Kellenberger, Street Superintendent Sackett, City Engineer Stewart, and J. W. Duckworth, president of the board of trade. Dr. Truxaw said he would call an immediate meeting and the board would be an active one. The ordinance requires that a meeting be held four times a year. Two communications relative to increased revenue for the library were Delinquents Collected For light $ 166.50 For Water $ 147.80 Penalties $ 24.85 Total $ 339.15 Delinquents Reported For light $ 43.50 For water $ 74.10 Total $ 117.60 Treasurer's Report Bal. on hand June 8 $ 8,814.00 Collected $ 4,862.39 Total $ 13,676.39 Paid by warrants $ 4,277.07 Balance on hand $ 9,399.32 Summary General Fund $ 9,399.32 Municipal Imp. 5 $ 500.00 Library Fund $ 524.15 Imp. 3 $ 85.50 Imp. 4 $ 1,200.00 Electric Light, 6 $ 196.49 Fire bonds $ 7,056.60 Fire bonds, 8 $ 120.17 Sewer Fund $ 2,081.25 Total in Treasury $ 21,165.48 FIRE PROTECTION Cooperative agreements involving the forest service, the State of Montana, and the Northern Pacific Railroad have just been renewed so that they will extend through the fiscal year beginning July 1 and ending June 30, 1915. The agreement with the state of Montana provides that federal and state patrolmen shall cooperate to form one single force for handling forest fires. This force, in any locality, acts under the direction of the forest supervisor in charge of the nearest national forest. This arrangement is entered into according to the agreement, so as "to secure the greatest efficiency and avoid duplication of patrol." The agreement applies to all government and state lands lying within the exterior boundaries of the national forests in Montana. The number of patrolmen supplied by the state is in proportion to the acreage of state lands within each national forest. No patrolmen receives less than a certain minimum wage, and apointments by the State must be approved by the district forester. State patrolmen are made federal "forest guards" and are employed particularly during the four months deemed by the district forester to be the ones most likely to have forest fires. All lands within the various forests are thus patrolled against fire. The agreement provides that each patrolman federal and state shall keep Two communications relative to increased revenue for the library were received. One from the board of trade endorsing the library board's request for more funds, and the other from President Horace E. Hand and Miss E. Kate Rea, asking that the fund be increased to $1750 for the coming year's expenses, and increase of $250 over the past year. The letter stated that the business of the library was rapidly increasing. 14,000 volumes were given out during the past year, an increase of $000 over the previous year, and the money allowed for running expenses is far below that of other libraries of like circulation. Furthermore the board is desirious of adding some new features, notably a collection of California works. The matter will be acted upon at the next regular meeting. The city is threatened with a damage suit. Through his attorneys, Tipton & Callor, William Geerdes served notice that a hedge fence belonging to him had been damaged to the extent of $500 by the L. A. Pailing company's operations at their yards and he asked payment therefor. City Attorney Amos was instructed to take the matter up and confer with the complainant's attorneys and with Mr. Werdin. Manager Todd of the Southern Counties Gas Company, asked permission to erect two ornamental lamp posts in front of the Spoerl-Marken thaler block, the lamps to be lighted JEFFERSONIAN SIMPLICITY Senator Vardaman, who objects to social entertainments at Washington and yearna for the "simplicity of Jeffersonian days," is evidently not familiar with the fact recorded by the biographers of Jefferson, that when he retired from the office of President on March 4, 1809, he was so seriously impoverished by his lavish expenditures and hospitality that "he was not sure of being allowed to leave Washington without arrest by his creditors." His friends saved him that humiliation. vember there were noted people from who will at that steps in the form be known as the Society, a state be compiled of creeds and class save what is left missions. The new enterprise Stanford University enlisted in the port of many emigrants and women. COST OF Before hostilities French economist made an estimate of the war, if He based his position that G with Italy posed would have to f Russia and Servi this war would hold amounting to estimate was quarried German army on ors 870,000, than Russia 1,290,000, 000, Italy 250,000, 500, and Servi 3 which were all three or four times of the different war strength of France 4,000,000, tria-Hungary 2,0 Great Britain 75 Belgium, not east Richet, has a p 000 men, and a 222,000.

Add to the celts from impact for people within 000; destruction A COMPETENT MAN FOR THE JOB E. J. Marks, Candidate for District Attorney of Orange County Examined by the best bond attorneys in the state and approved by them without question. The local improvement proceedings for the construction of the Fullerton sewer system was one of the largest in point of number of assessments ever undertaken in California, there being 1450 separate assessments. Mr. Marks has also built up a large practice at the law having had a great number of cases in all of the Courts of the state, some of them involving important questions of law and valuable property. In one case he recovered judgment for and collected for his client over $77,000.00 on it. As City Attorney he has been active in enforcing the laws and ordinances of the City and by his attitude has assisted the other officers in giving us a clean city government and City. We believe, therefore that Mr. Marks as District Attorney will be the rightman in the right place and the News earnestly commends him to its readers and argues his nomination and election to this office. The Northern end of Orange county has about 35 per cent of the voters of the county and pays about the same percentage of the taxes, at the same time usually receiving rather a small representation at the Court House. We believe that Mr. Marks will receive a practically unanimous support in this end of the County, which, with the strong support that he is receiving in other sections, will make his election by a large majority a certainty. He cannot, though, be considered a candidate of any section as he was raised and educated in Santa Ana and the State University of California and is a local product of the county for whom all should be proud to vote→Orange News. E. J. Marks, City Attorney of Fullerton, is making an active canvass for the nomination of District Attorney of Orange County, and reports the prospects very bright for his nomination and election. He was raised in Santa Ana, attending the public and high schools of that city and graduated from the law department of the University of California in 1899. He has been actively engaged in the practice of law ever since, for the last eleven years being located at Fullerton. Mr. Marks has been City Attorney of Fullerton ever since its incorporation over ten years ago and has had charge of all the legal business of the city. In-the past two years he has carried through for the city five municipal bond issues and nine local improvement proceedings without any error. All of the proceedings and the bonds issued have been $2,000,000; total expenditure, $54,125,000 a day. BUSINESS CARDS J. W.

WE SELL Oregon Pine Dimension Stuff STATUE EREGTED TO JUNIPERO SERRA Father of Missiones Honored at San Juan Capistrano While the armies of Europe were engaged Thursday in bloody slaughter, a far different scene was enacted in California at the old mission of San Juan Capistrano. There, under the fallen dome of the once majestic church, a statue in stone was dedicated to the memory of the immortal Fra Junipero Serra, who brought civilization to these shores in the name of the Prince of Peace. The erection of this statue had long been the dream of the curate of the mission, Father St. John O'Sullivan. The memorial is his own personal gift, and it is among the most striking of the new numerous memorials to Father Serra that have been erected throughout the state. The design is a figure of Sorra with an Indian boy at his side. The sculptor is John J. Van Renselaar of San Francisco. The public dedication of the statue will take place November 24, the 222nd anniversary of Father Serra's birth. Thursday's ceremonies were in the nature of an ecclesiastical dedication, and consisted of a pontifical mass which was celebrated by Father Queu, the parish priest of San Juan Capistrano. At the unveiling an address in Spanish was delivered by Father Miguel Onote of the old Plaza Church Los Angeles, and an English address by Father Zephyrn, the noted Franciscan historian of Mission Santa Barbara. Other clergymen present were Father Julius of Los Angeles, Father Domino of San Luis Rey mission and Iev. Francis J. Conaty. At the secular celebration in November there will be a gathering of noted people from all over California, who will at that time take the first steps in the formation of what is to be known as the Mission Preservation Society, a state-wide organization to be composed of the people of all creeds and classes banded together to save what is left of the ruins of the missions. The moving spirit of this new enterprise is Prof. Peterson of Stanford University, who has already enlisted in the cause the active support of many eminent California men and women. $2,000,000; total expenditure, $54,125,000 a day. THE WORLD'S HOPE "Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Leat we forget, leet we forget." There certainly is a great tendency to all of us in America to flatter ourselves greatly over the happy conditions in which we find ourselves. While all Europe is rent with the greatest war ever staged in the world, while thousands of men are being slaughtered there, and while hundreds of thousands, yes millions, find themselves in want of food, profound peace reigns in our country, and plenty covers the continent as universally as waters cover the sea. Europe must look to us for her food supply, for cotton to keep her spinning machines and looms going, giving her people an opportunity to survive the hardships of war during the coming winter. And by a peculiarly happy condition, we are harvesting now the most abundant crops ever gathered in the country, while the crops of Europe scant at the best, are remaining unharvested or trampled into the earth beneath the feet of myriads of meadows and horses. Our winter wheat crop, according to the August forecast, will come to 670,000,000 bushels, spring wheat to 236,000,000, giving us a total of 911,000,000 bushels of wheat for the crop. Or corn the crop will come to 2,634,000,000 bushels, oats 1,153,000,000 bushels, barley 203,000,000 bushels, rye 43,000,000 bushels. Then there are the two great root crops, white potatoes 370,000,000 bushels and sweet potatoes 50,000,000 bushels. Of raw material for use in factories we shall have 791,000,000 pounds of cotton and 177,000,000 of flax. To add to the cerial crops there will be 24,000,000 bushels of rice, and of hay 69,000,000 tons. NARROW ESCAPE L. Bennett of Orange had a narrow escape from serious injury yesterday at the pumping plant on the W. A. Dyer ranoh, west of the Santa Ana river. In starting the engine, Mr. Bennett placed his foot on the flywheel to help turn it over. He slipped and his leg went through the spokes of the wheel. At the same time the engine back-fired and the wheel caught Mr. Bennett, whirling him aloft as it revolved. Coming down, his foot caught in the gears, and had member there will be a gathering of noted people from all over California, who will at that time take the first steps in the formation of what is to be known as the Mission Preservation Society, a state-wide organization to be composed of the people of all creeds and classes banded together to save what is left of the ruins of the missions. The moving spirit of this new enterprise is Prof. Peterson of Stanford University, who has already enlisted in the cause active support of many eminent California men and women. COST OF THE WAR Before hostilities broke out, a French economist, Charles Richelet, made an estimate of the money cost of the war. If it should materialize, he based his calculation on the supposition that Germany and Austria, with Italy possibly helping them, would have to fight England, France, Russia and Servia. He counted that this war would call armies into the hold, amounting to 20,000,000 men. The estimate was quite conservative. The German army on a peace basis numbers 870,000, that of France 720,000, Russia 1,290,000, Austria-Hungary 390,000, Italy 250,000, Great Britain 254,500, and Servia 32,000. The reservest, which were all called out, number three or four times the peace strength of the different countries. The total war strength of Germany is 5,200,000; France 4,000,000; Russia 5,500,000; Austria-Hungary 2,000,000; Italy 1,200,000; Great Britain 730,000; Servia 240,000; Belgium, not estimated at all by Mr. Richelet, has a peace strength of 42,000 men, and a total war strength of 222,000. For the provisioning of these troops the daily expense will be (Belgium excluded) $126,500,000; feed for horses $1,100,000; soldiers' pay $4,250,000; salaries at arsenals and ports $1,900,000; transporting foods, arms, etc $4,400,000; movement of troops $2,650,000; ammunition $4,650,000; artillery $1,250,000; navy $375,000; equipment $4,450,000; ambulance $550,000; distribution of ships $565,999. Add to this the deficit in receipts from imports $16,959,999; help for people without resources $6,759,999; destruction of cities and bridges. NARROW ESCAPE L. Bennett of Orange had a narrow escape from serious injury yesterday at the pumping plant on the W. A. Dyer ranch, west of the Santa Ana river. In starting the engine, Mr. Bennett placed his foot on the flywheel to help turn it over. He slipped and his leg went through the spokes of the wheel. At the same time the engine back-fired and the wheel caught Mr. Bennett, whirling him aloft as it revolved. Coming down, his foot caught in the gears, and had not Mr. Dyer caught him, breaking the fall, his leg must have snapped under the strain upon it. Mr. Bennett was also favored by the fact that the engine did not receive a good start. Had the back-fire been more-heavy, he doubtless would have been thrown against the roof of the pumping plant, as the engine is a powerful one. He escaped with a bruised leg, but received no injuries of consequence. Marlon Swartz has applied for letters of guardianship upon the estate of Harry C. Swartz, who is an inmate of an insane anylum. The estate consists of a life insurance policy that has a cash surrender value of $258.75. Melrose & Ames are attorneys for the petitioner. Do you want to trade a ranch for Anaheim rental property?
