VOLUME XXXXV THIRD DISTRICT WANTS ROADS PAVED COMMISSIONER McFADDEN UP-HELD IN HIS DEMAND FOR PORTION OF SURPLUS HAVE RECEIVED MUCH LESS THAN JUST PROPORTION OF THE HIGHWAY FUND There is a unanimity of sentiment in this, the third supervisor district, regarding the disposition of the $246,710 surplus which the highway commission finds on its hands after providing for 107 miles of paved road originally planned for Orange county, and in which publication of the table of expenditures of the fund shows that the third district has not received a just proportion of the whole. Why the discrepancy against this district was made is not known, but the fact is apparent that the commission, finding itself with an unexpectedly large surplus on its hands, can repair to a limited extent, the injury. This district has an assessed val- condition he would find himself under the new law. Four years ago a constitutional amendment was carried, doing away with fees in the courts. Then on top of that the last County Government Act provided that a justice must turn into the county two-thirds of marriage fees received by him. Cox did not know whether or not he is to charge for marrying people. If he observed one law and charged nothing, he might be called on by the other law to dig up $2 apiece for all marriages performed during the next term. ALFRED W. JONES OF LOS ALAMITOS DEAD Passes Away After Few Days Illness —Contracted a Severe Cold, Developing Into Pneumonia Alfred W. Jones died at Los Alamitos on Wednesday night, Dec. 30, of pneumonia after an illness of only a few days. Andrew W. Jones was born in Vermont, November 16, 1857. In 1877 he married Miss Emma Hall of Barton, Vt. Coming to California 20 years ago and 17 years ago became connected with the Los Alamitos Sugar company of Los Alamitos, Cal. At that time the factory was just being built viding for 107 miles of paved road originally planned for Orange county, and in which publication of the table of expenditures of the fund shows that the third district has not received a just proportion of the whole. Why the discrepancy against this district was made is not known, but the fact is apparent that the commission, finding itself with an unexpectedly large surplus on its hands, can repair to a limited extent, the injury. This district has an assessed valuation of $19,723,825, which is 40 per cent of the county's assessment, but we received a little more than sixteen per cent of the fund. In this district was expended $1.65 per hundred dollars of valuation, whereas the average in the three other districts where roads were paved was $2.84, leaving us $1.19 below their average. Figuring on a just and equitable balance the third, paying 40 per cent of the taxes, should receive 40 per cent of the total bond issue, which would amount to $508,000, but as the city of Santa Ana comprising the first district, received none of the road fund, it should have been eliminated when the distribution was made between the four districts in which the fund was expended instead of adding it to 4 and 5. As the assessed valuation of this district is practically equal to the other three we should have received half of the bond issue, or $635,000. As the sum allotted to this district was $325,171.46 it leaves $309,828.54 due us to make an equitable distribution. Should the entire surplus of $246,710 be expended in the third supervisor district we would still lack $63,058.54 of receiving our just proportion. If the sum of $1,044,171.18 already expended is to be expended on the 107 miles of road ordered had been equitably divided we should have received $417,684, after giving the Santa Ana assessment to the fourth and fifth districts, which they were not entitled to. But granting them this, we are $92,497 short of our just percentage, and adding to this the $98,000 in the surplus belonging to us we should have $190,497 of that fund. Highway Commissioner Pixley is advocating that a big slice of this surplus fund be used in paving the canyon road from Olive to the Riverside county line. This is a road over which there is little travel in comparison with some of the other highways of the county. Commissioner McPadden is demanding that three important stretches of road in the third district. Alfred W. Jones died at Los Alamitos on Wednesday night, Dec. 30, of pneumonia after an illness of only a few days. Andrew W. Jones was born in Vermont, November 16, 1857. In 1877 he married Miss Emma Hall of Barton, Vt. Coming to California 20 years ago and 17 years ago became connected with the Los Alamitos Sugar company of Los Alamitos, Cal. At that time the factory was just being built and Mr. Jones has been with the company ever since, for many years and at the time of his death holding the position of sales manager and auditor. He was an indefatigable worker and splendid business man and the growth and success of the enterprise was in no small part due to his tireless work and energy. Throughout the West his name is well known in the sugar world and various papers from Chicago to California printed many articles on sugar questions from his pen. He was a firm believer and strong advocate of a protective tariff on sugar believing that the future of the sugar industry in the United States/ was hopelessly doomed under the operation of the Underwood tariff bill which places sugar on the free list in 1916, and at the time of his death was earnestly working for the repeal of this measure. Mr. Jones, althought 63 years of age, was until a few days before his death enjoying good health and apparently equipped for many more years of active service but a severe cold which he contracted rapidly developed into pneumonia and brought his useful life to a sudden end. He was a jovial, kindly dispositioned man, and held in high esteem by his many friends and business associates. He leaves a widow and two married daughters, Mrs. Geo. M. Green and Mrs. J. C. Bodger. Funeral services were held on Saturday morning, at 10:30 from W.R. Sutch Undertaking parlor; 842 S. Figueroa street, Los Angeles.

Highway Commissioner Pixley is advocating that a big slice of this surplus fund be used in paving the canyon road from Olive to the Riverside county line. This is a road over which there is little travel in comparison with some of the other highways of the county. Commissioner McFadden is demanding that three important stretches of road in the third district be paved. He wants appropriations made from this surplus for paving Crowther Ave., East Orangethore Ave. and Spadra road. It will cost $115,000 to pay these 3 roads which will still leave more than $130,000 of the fund to be used elsewhere. The canyon road is within the fourth district and as it has already received a much larger percentage of the fund than the third, and as the paving of these three roads will still leave us far below our just proportion Mr. McFadden is being heartily backed by the people of the third district in his contention that this portion of the surplus should be expended here. These highways are of much more importance to travel than the canyon road, and even had this district received an equal share of the moneys they should be considered first. JUSTICE TO KEEP MONEY RECEIVED BY BRIDEGROOMS New Law Interpreted to Mean That County Does not get Money Given To Marrying Justice The district attorney has informed Justice of the Peace Cox of Santa Ana that whatever coin is handed him now by bridegrooms is his to keep. The judge has been keeping what he has been getting, because the law was perfectly plain that is was his, but he did not know what kind of a ANAHEIM WINS A GOOD BALL GAME Defeats Santa Ana by a 7 to 4 Score Sunday Afternoon Anaheim baseball fans witnessed a game Sunday afternoon that reminded them of old times when the Anaheim team had the habit of defeating everything that happened to blow into town. The previous Sunday the Santa Ana team trimmed the local by a score of 6 to 4 and confidently expected to do it again. They won on a fluke before a wild throw allowing them three runs which gave them the game, but this time the boys played an errorless game and demonstrated their superiority over the visitors at every point. Henry Blicker, who is known as Walter Johnson No. 2, is developing into a classy pitcher. He allowed but five scattered hits and struck out a dozen men, in one innning retiring three at a time when a hit meant a couple of runs. Rondell, the catcher, is also some class, being one of the best backstops ever seen on an Anaheim diamond. Charley Brandenberg umpired the game and did it so well that even the opposing team was peeved because they could find no occasion for crabbing. Mr. Brandenberg came near being seriously injured however. He had all the wind knocked out of his system at one time, being so unfortunate as to stop a ball thrown by the catcher or second base in order to cut off a base runner. Charles Dusseurt and Jacob Yaeger have filed location notices of five mining claims in the right fork of Trabuco canyon.

After an illness of but two weeks, which was considered slight until a few days before the end, Mrs. Eleanora Dell Lemon, wife of U. S. Lemon, died Wednesday evening at the Santa Ana hospital where she had been taken for treatment Saturday. The cause of her death was given as goitre, which developed inside the throat. Mrs. Lemon has been a resident of Anaheim for seven years, coming here FROM PRINCE ALBERT TO SHIRT SLEEVES Principal Hauck of High School Will Discuss Interesting Subject Friday Evening "The school master from Prince Albert to shirt sleeves" or "The evolution of Ichabod Crane" is the subject that will be discussed by Principal E.

Mr. Hauck has the pleasing faculty of accompanying the points of his talks by interesting and striking illustrations and anecdotes. His sincerity impresses his audience and his enthusiasm inspires his hearers. Mr. Hauck is an optimist who can see good even in the gloomiest visaged pessimist.

J. J. Dwyer is chairman of this committee, and his associates are Herman Stern, J. F. Ahlborn, Prof. E. W. Hauck, Geo. W. Hamler, W. B. Allen, P. H. Krick, A. Nagel, F. C. Krause, and Eugene Durfee.

S. Lemon, died Wednesday evening at the Santa Ana hospital where she had been taken for treatment Saturday. The cause of her death was given as goitre, which developed inside the throat. Mrs. Lemon has been a resident of Anaheim for seven years, coming here from Huntington Beach where her husband was editor of a newspaper until he disposed of it. She has for many years been active in newspaper work, having been engaged on local papers throughout the county, and at the time of her death was connected with the Los Angeles Times as its local correspondent for the Examiner. She was a member of one of the prominent families of Orange county, being the daughter of A. N. Harris of Orange. She was born at El Monte on September 17, 1872, and was the youngest of a family of six children. Three years later the Harris family moved to the ranch near Orange, which for forty years has been the home and on which the aged mother and one sister now live. On March 13, 1891, Miss Harris was married to U. S. Lemon at the family homestead. Four daughters have been born to them. They are Hazel, Zoe (Mrs. Mary Inskeep), Mildred and Ruth, all of whom are living. She also leaves besides her husband and her aged mother, three brother, Andrew, whose present address is not known, J. Wiley and W. Frank Harris, both prominent citizens of the county. Her two sisters, Mrs. Nannie Hickey and Mrs. Mary Beard are still living, the latter with the mother at the old homestead. Mrs. Lemon was taken to the Santa Ana hospital four days prior to her death. She had been under the care of a physician for more than a week previously, but the disease developed to such an extent that it was deemed advisable to take her where she could have constant attendance. Medical skill was of no avail in checking its progress, and she died Wednesday evening. Funeral services were held at the Mills & Winbigler undertaking parlors at Santa Ana at 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning, a large number of friends from different sections of the county being present to pay the last Mr. Hauck has been the planning faculty of accompanying the points of his talks by interesting and striking illustrations and anecdotes.

ANAHEIM’ AERIE OF EAGLES ENTERTAIN AT DANCE or question of civil improvements in Anaheim, especially the erection of a new city hall. J. J. Dwyer is chairman of this committee, and his associates are Herman Stern, J. F. Ahlborn, Prof. E. W. Hauck, Geo. W. Hamler, W. B. Allen, P. H. Krick, A. Nagel, F. C. Krause, and Eugene Durfee. With such a mixture it is not surprising that opinions clashed and argument prevailed.. The only question before the committee upon which all agreed was a motion to adjourn. One of the principal questions before the meeting was whether the city could afford to build the new city hall at the present time and also take care of the other improvements which are considered of importance. Prof. Hauck presented a photograph of the recently-erected city hall at El Reno, Oklahoma, and offered it as a model which might be followed with profit by Anaheim. It is a beautiful and imposing three-story building. The ground floor is divided into store rooms, the city retaining quarters for the fire department. The second story is devoted to the city government, all the offices being on that floor, and the third story is a museum. The building cost $50,000 and the rent from the first and third stories not only pays the interest on the indebtedness but pays the annual installment on the principal, consequently the municipality has erected its city hall free of cost to itself. Postmaster Ahlborn sprung a scheme that looked alluring to members of the committee, but they want to figure the cost before committing themselves. His idea was to create a civic center in which all municipal holdings with possible exception of the power plant, will be enclosed, in a city park will be installed the new city hall, the public library, the fire house, and all other business appertaining to the municipality. The offer of H. Deutsch to dispose of a tract for park purposes at two-thirds of its value evidently inspired several other parties to do likewise, and the city now has an opportunity to acquire a park site far below its actual value, all of which are suitable both as to location and extent. Chairman Dwyer had a number of propositions before him which he read to the committee. A block in the Zeyn tract, 364 by 562 feet in dimensions was offered by Mrs. C. E. Holcomb and her sister, Miss Dora Zeyn. It is bounded by Los Angeles, North and Lemon streets. Its actual value is $20,550. of a physician for more than a week previously, but the disease developed to such an extent that it was deemed advisable to take her where she could have constant attendance. Medical skill was of no avail in checking its progress, and she died Wednesday evening. Funeral services were held at the Mills & Winbigler undertaking parlors at Santa Ana at 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning, a large number of friends from different sections of the county being present to pay the last sad tribute to a departed friend. Rev. A. N. Petty of Los Angeles conducted the services. Mr. Petty is an old-time friend of the Harris family, having formerly held charges at Orange and Santa Ana and he spoke feelingly of his recollection of the time when he baptized her and took her into his church 32 years ago. She was the baby of the Harris family, he said, and had grown to womanhood under his spiritual teachings. Interment was made in Evergreen cemetery, between Santa Ana and Orange. Misfortune has laid a heavy hand on this family during the past month. Mr. Lemon is now lying at the Anaheim sanitarium with a shattered leg sustained in a collision with an automobile on the Fullerton road two weeks ago. His daughter, Mrs. Inakeep was so ill that she was unable to attend the funeral of her mother, and his brother living at San Bernardino, is also sick and announcement of his death may be expected at any time. The newspaper upon which Mr. Lemon was employed at Fullerton, garried insurance for its employees, but notice was received from the state holding that Mr. Lemon is not entitled to compensation, "because he was on his way home at the time of the accident and was not at the time performing service for the newspaper." Others hold that he is entitled to compensation and the matter will be investigated further. any case at its own discretion; it also reserves the right to revoke the arrangement hereby specified, without notice.

ANAHEIM 'AERIE OF EAGLES ENTERTAIN AT DANCE Local Members are Hosts at An Enjoyable Party Given to Their Wives and Sweethearts Anaheim Aerie of Eagles last evening entertained the wives and sweethearts of members at a social dance at their lodge rooms on Lemon street, when a delightful time was spent in dancing. Excellent music was furnished and one of the most enjoyable society functions of the season was participated in by the large crowd present. A splendid supper was discussed during the evening and in the small hours of the morning the guests departed for their homes, voting the Aerie all manner of success and hoping for a repetition of the joyous event. The Aerie will also install officers for the new year. D. F. E. Corwin has returned from the east and has reopened his offices in the Masonic Temple. Dr. Corwin is a graduate of osteopathy, also a graduate of medicine, but limits his practice to osteopathic work. H. W. Braden, the Buick agent, will demonstrate the new Buick No. 4 truck at his garage at No. 515 East Center, today, Thursday, Jan. 7. It is a great machine. Go and see it; it will be of great benefit to buyers who are interested. several other parties to do likewise, and the city now has an opportunity to acquire a park site far below its actual value, all of which are suitable both as to location and extent. Chairman Dwyer had a number of propositions before him which he read to the committee. A block in the Zeyn tract, 364 by 562 feet in dimensions was offered by Mrs. C. E. Holcomb and her sister, Miss Dora Zeyn. It is bounded by Los Angeles, North and Lemon streets. Its actual value is $20,550, but it is offered for $15,000, the only stipulation being that the place be called Zeyn park. The owners agree to take Anaheim bonds in payment at 5 per cent interest. Mrs. Adelheid Konig submitted a proposition which put the committee in a speculative mood. She offered a lot on South Los Angeles street, 350 by 210 feet in extent, for $25,000. Five thousand of this sum was to be paid in cash, the balance to be paid in annual installments of $1500, with 5 per cent interest. A stipulation was that if case of her death the payments should cease and the balance due her should revert to the city. Mrs. A. E. Rotheramel also offers her property on North Los Angeles street for $12,000 of which amount she will donate $2,000. This is bounded by Los Angeles, Sycamore and Alberta streets and is 294 by 165 feet in extent. There is a substantial brick house on the property which it is claimed, can be used by the superintendent of the park. The Brunner tract was also offered, the price being $40,000. One of the ladies submitting an offer suggested that the park should be established on Los Angeles street as one hundred thousand people would pass El Camino Real within the next year, and a resting place should be provided in Anaheim. It was determined that no definite action should be taken on any of the MAY TRACTS COMMITTED FOR PARK LE SITES ON EL OFFERED FOR PURPOSE Ten holds sesquicuss civic improvements was indulged in and onlon expressed at the committee of ten reheating mass meeting at auditorium to considc civic improvements similarly the erection of J.

For the purpose of investi-gating this question Chairman Dwyer appointed the following sub-committees who will report at a meeting of the whole committee next Tuesday night: On the park committee, chairman Dwyer, Prof. Hauck, G. W. Hamler and A. Nagel. On the advisability of repairing city hall, P. H. Krick and W. D. Allen. On the civic center proposition, J. F. Ahlborn and O. E. Steward. On the new city hall, Prof. E. W. Hauck and F. C. Krause. Some of the members of the committee advocated remodeling and repairing the present city hall and making it answer the purpose for the present, consequently a committee was appointed to figure up the actual cost of this work. It is estimated that $8000 will be sufficient to make a safe and sound building of it.

FOURTH DISTRICT OF CONGRESS OF MOTHERS Orange County Parent Teachers Association Will Meet at Orangethorpe on Saturday The Orange County Parent Teachers association, 4th District of Congress of Mothers will hold a regular meeting in the Orongethorpe school house at Orangethorpe, on Saturday, Jan. 9, 1915. The session will open at 10 o'clock A.M., and the morning will be devoted to business, reports of chairmen of departments and the presidents of local associations will be asked to speak on "What we are doing." In the afternoon an excellent musical program will be rendered, followed by an address by Mrs. Nanna Woods of Glendale, whose title will be, "Thirteen Don'ts". The district is very fortunate in securing Mrs. Woods for this meeting, and it is to be hoped that all who can, will take advantage of this opportunity. A basket luncheon will be served at noon, and everybody is requested to bring their own lunch. The Orangethorpe association will furnish hot tea and coffee. All associates, and numerous signatures are being attached, asking that the district as now formed, be dissolved. As the trustees have no authority except to carry out the will of the people it will be mandatory upon them to act provided the required number of signatures are secured. There has been considerable change of sentiment regarding the establishment of this district during the past few weeks which was demonstrated emphatically at the election of the trustees on Friday, Dec. 18. Joseph Fiscus, Max Nebelung and William Pannier were elected by a vote of nearly three to one over E. A. Day, Shorman Hayden and D. Gervais. These latter gentlemen favored the district as at present bounded, and had been indefatigable workers for its formation. The others were supposed to be more conservative and believed that the district should be enlarged or a different system inaugurated. The result of the election showed that a large majority of the people who went to the polls held the same belief. To incorporate a district and to disincorporate are different propositions and worked under different systems. The law requires that a majority of the property owners within the prescribed limits must favor the cause before the supervisors can authorize it, but it requires a two-thirds vote of all the electors casting their ballots to abandon it after it has been established. Advocates of the district have worked a number of years on the project and met and overcame many obstacles. At the first hearing before the supervisors the protestants against it had an overwhelming majority and the board turned it down. The boundary lines took in Fullerton, Garden Grove, Buena Park and other hostile seetion. A new district was then formed its boundaries being North street, the Garden Grove road and the Ball road. When the matter appeared before the supervisors numerously signed petitions were filed against it but when it came up for final decision the supervisors found that the protestants had a minority of the 1150 property owners in the territory and authorized its formation, fixing the date of election for Friday, Dec. 18. The result of the election was a disappointment to the advocates of the district, although less than 650 votes were cast. It was apparent that there less to do likewise, has an opportunity to be far below its accult which are suitable and extent.

The newly married couple spent a short honeymoon at local points of interest, and visited the fair at San Diego for a few days, returning to the home of the groom on the Garden Grove road on Sunday, where they will make their future home. The bride is a popular member of the younger set of society folks of this city and has a host of admirers. The groom is a well known resident of the west country and has a score of friends who wish him and his bride a long life of happiness and prosperity. J. J.

When the matter appeared before the supervisors numerously signed petitions were filed against it but when it came up for final decision the supervisors found that the protestants had a minority of the 1150 property owners in the territory and authorized its formation, fixing the date of election for Friday, Dec. 18. The result of the election was a disappointment to the advocates of the district, although less than 650 votes were cast. It was apparent that there had been a revulsion of feeling in the matter, the result showing disapproval of the plans as outlined. The chief opposition to the formation of the district is that it is too small. It boundary is zig-zaged in spots and certain properties are eliminated which, it is claimed, ought to be incorporated and pay a just proportion of the expenses. In addition to the petitions praying for disincorporation there is also talk of sidevavoring to form a county protection system similar to that adopted by Los Angeles county, where the Federal government, the state and the county combined. Doeds were secured for all the lands on which the protection work is built. Many people believe that this is the better system and would prove more satisfactory and economical than a series of small districts. The newly-elected trustees organized by electing Joseph Fiscis chairman and H. V. Weisel secretary. They met at the office of the secretary Monday morning, but as Mr. Nebelung was absent the meeting was merely an informal one and no business was transacted. Another meeting will be held Tuesday evening, the principal business being the adoption of a set of bylaws under which its meetings will be conducted. The board expects to carry out the will of the people and will be governed according to their decree.
