BREAKS RECORD IN BUILDING ACTIVITY MANY SUBSTANTIAL STRUCTURES UNDER WAY OR SOON TO BE CONSTRUCTED HERE 1915 WILL BE A BANNER YEAR IN THE MATTER OF ARCHITECTURAL IMPROVEMENTS Should all the building propositions now under consideration be carried to a successful issue the year 1915 will see so many important changes that certain sections of the business district will be so transformed as to be unrecognizable. Some of these buildings are now under construction, others under contract, and still others only under consideration at present, but pretty certain to develop into facts. Architect Eugene Durfee states that he has several orders on his list for important building designs that are not yet ripe for publication. They the walls are rapidly going up. This building has a 60-foot frontage and joins walls with the Yungbluth and Odd Fellows buildings. The ground floor will contain three store rooms, the front half of the second and third stories is devoted to office rooms, while the rear half will be a splendidly lit lodge room with a 19-foot ceiling. Masons are also at work on the Carroll building on North Los Angeles street. It is only one story in height, but will contain three store rooms. These are the most substantial buildings now being built or soon to be under construction. There are many residences now in the hands of the builders, and several beautiful ones in contemplation. Advocates of the civic center and park proposition, which was endorsed at a recent mass meeting of the people, confidently claim that as one of the coming improvements in Anaheim, Whether their plans carry or not, it is reasonably certain that a new city hall will be built in Anaheim within a year, and it will be the finest municipal building in the county. Material for construction of the buildings and yards of Anaheim's newest industry, the meat packing establishment, is being hauled to the grounds adjoining the sugar factory. Messrs Reuther & Hoseo owners of will see so many important changes that certain sections of the business district will be so transformed as to be unrecognizable. Some of these buildings are now under construction, others under contract, and still others only under consideration at present, but pretty certain to develop into facts. Architect Eugene Durfee states that he has several orders on his list for important building designs that are not yet ripe for publication. They will be splendid additions to the architecture of the city. Chief among the buildings to be erected this summer is the new hotel which John Ziegler proposes to build on the site of the present Commercial house at the corner of Lemon and Center streets. For many years a hotel suitable to the needs of the growing town has been agitated by the board of trade. Several projects were considered but an unexpected hitch always spoiled the deal before it was consummated, but Mr. Zeigler has now come forward with the announcement that he contemplates the erection of a building that will furnish ample accommodations to the transient trade. Architect Durfee is now engaged in drawing up plans for the building. It will have a 70-foot frontage on Center street and 103 feet on Lemon. It will be four stories high surmounted by a glass-enclosed roof garden, which will contain, besides the lounging and observation room, a private dining room. The building will contain 57 sleeping rooms, 24 private baths and 6 public baths. On the ground floor a wide corridor will extend from Center street to the large dining room which will accommodate 100 guests. The dining room will also have an entrance on Lemon street. The second story of the building on the east now occupied by the Anaheim National bank will be part of the hotel. It is 30x70 feet in extent and will contain a ladies' parlor and ladies writing room. The bank will occupy the corner room and the bar the east room, the corridor being between them. An automatic elevator is to extend from the corridor to the roof garden. The front is finished in cream artificial stone and red ruffled brick. The cost of the structure, exclusive of grounds, is $40,000. The front is to set back eight feet from the present sidewalk to conform to the new frontage line, and the bank building also will be cut down. Plans for remodeling the Odd Fellows will see so many important changes that certain sections of the business district will be so transformed as to be unrecognizable.

Plans for remodeling the Odd Fellows building on West Center have been accepted and work will immediately begin. Eight feet will also be cut from the street end of this building and a new front built, as well as a third story added. The front, according to plans, is constructed of cream enameled brick with cream artificial stone trimmings. The entrance is to be finished in marble and tile. The banquet room, where so many feasts have been enjoyed, will be removed to the third story, which will also contain a billiard room. The old banquet hall will be cut up into office suites and small rooms for the use of the lodge officials. The cost of the alterations is estimated at $9000. This building has a frontage of 80 feet on Center street. Another beautiful building in the same neighborhood, is the Yungbluth block, which will be under construction in a short time. The new building will absorb the old one, now occupied by his clothing store, and will be set back on the new frontage line. It will have a 60-foot frontage and a depth of 108 feet. The front will be built of brown ruffled brick with large cream joints, trimmed with cream artificial stone. Mr. Yungbluth will move his store into the new room and M. W. Martenet's hardware store will move into the west room. The second story will be divided into nine suites of housekeeping apartments. Work on the Fisher block has been in progress more than two weeks, and FORMER ANAHEIM GIRL MARRIES SAN DIEGAN Miss Elsie Asher and J. L.

ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1915 FAVOR PAYMENT OF 5 PER CENT DIVIDEND STOCKHOLDERS OF ANAHEIM SUGAR COMPANY ASK THAT PROFITS BE DISTRIBUTED PROSPEROUS CAMPAIGN PREDICTED BY OFFICALS OF THE CO. THE COMING YEAR By voting in favor of the distribution of a dividend of 5 per cent the stockholders of the Anaheim sugar company declared at the annual meeting Monday afternoon that the profits of the past season amply justified the directors in cutting a melon and passing the slices around. While the reports of the officers showed a considerable profit during the previous three years no divident was declared. all the profits being expended on the plant in purchasing new machinery or enlarging its capacity. While this furnished no spending money to the stockholders it increased the value of NO SURPLUS FUNDS ON COAST BOULEVARD Opinion by District Attorney Sets at Rest Proposed Grab District Attorney West this week filed an opinion with the board of supervisors in which he holds that none of the $246,000 surplus now in the bands of the highway commission can be used on the so-called coast boulevard, for which the boulevarders modestly ask the sum of $160,000. Inasmuch as it was thought that if the boulevarders ever got their hands on this amount of money they would never let go of the remaining $84,000 until they got it all, the inland people jumped stiff legged and raised up their voices in a mighty howl. Mr. West also holds that none of the surplus can be used for resurfacing roads already paved, and this would seem to put the Taxpayers' League propogandists on the bum. The district attorney holds further that moneys in the surplus fund cannot be legally used in construction of roads other than those included in the original system, until completion of that system. This means that the Olive road, concerning which there CONFISCATION IS FEARED BY FARMERS TRUSTEES OF YORBA STORM WATER DISTRICT CALL ELECTION FOR MARCH 20 TO DISINCORPORATE PEOPLE PRACTICALLY UNANIMOUS IN FAVOR OF WIPING DISTRICT OFF THE MAP Messrs. B. G. Robers, C. W. Coman and W. A. Goodwin, trustees of the Yorba storm water district, were in Anaheim on Saturday arranging for the calling of an election to vote on the disincorporation of that district. The date of election is set for Saturday March 20th, next, and the polling place will be at the Commonwealth school house. Officers of said election are as follows: Judges—H. P. Smith and J. R. McGavaren. Inspectors—W. E. Gunnett and A. Koch. company declared at the annual meeting Monday afternoon that the profits of the past season amply justified the directors in cutting a melon and passing the slices around. While the reports of the officers showed a considerable profit during the previous three years no dividend was declared. all the profits being expended on the plant in purchasing new machinery or enlarging its capacity. While this furnished no spending money to the stockholders it increased the value of the property, and stock which originally cost $1.00 is now worth $1.65. Moreover $300,000 in indebtedness has been practically paid off, only $20,000 remaining of that large sum. It is generally supposed the factory had the most prosperous season of it four years' history the past year, but the public is debarred from accurate knowledge of the fact because the officials and stockholders declare the financial affairs of the company are private matters and none of the public's business. The annual meeting of the stockholders was held Monday afternoon. It was one of the largest in point of attendance ever held, seventy-five persons being present. 4659 out of a total of 5478 answered to roll call either in person or by proxy. After calling the roll and the reading of the minutes of the previous session, Richard Melrose, attorney for the company, announced that he had been requested by President Peck to ask the newspapers not to print the proceedings of the meeting, especially the reports of the various officers. He observed a representative of the Gazette present, and while the Gazette had always treated the company with fairness and justice, he hoped that it would close its ears to the important proceedings of that meeting, as the figures to be read were for the information of the stockholders alone. If representatives of other Anaheim papers were present they would consider that the embargo applied to them also, he added. President Peck supplemented these remarks with a statement that everything pertaining to the factory which appeared in the Anaheim papers was copied in the Louisiana press, and it was deemed unwise to have its private affairs made public in that region. The old board of directors was reelected without opposition. They are A. R. Peck, C. M. Warner, J. S. Howell. Mr. West also holds that none of the surplus can be used for resurfacing roads already paved, and this would seem to put the Taxpayers' League propogandists on the bum. The district attorney holds further that moneys in the surplus fund cannot be legally used in construction of roads other than those included in the original system, until completion of that system. This means that the Olive road, concerning which there has appeared a disposition in certain quarters to put on the bum, will be paved forthwith. Indeed, the supervisors on Tuesday called for bids for paving this road, the same to be opened on March 24. CITY OFFICIALS VISIT EXPOSITION Inspect Chemical Engines and Fire Apparatus and Have Enjoyable Time Mayor John Cook, Trustees George W. Hamler, J. J. Schnelder, Wm. Stark and John Brunworth, Street Superintendent Sackett and Fire Chief Goodrich went to San Diego on the I a.m. train Sunday morning for the purpose of inspecting chemical engines and other fire apparatus on display at the exposition grounds. They were met at San Diego by representatives of fire apparatus companies exhibiting at the fair, and after breakfast at the Grant hotel were driven in automobiles to the exposition grounds, where exhibitions of fire engines were made. As a result of their inspection the city trustees will probably purchase a $7,000 fire extinguisher, bonds for which were last year voted. The party spent two days in the fair city, visiting the exposition again on Monday. There were 9000 people on the grounds on Sunday, among the notable being former vice president Fairbanks and former Governor Gage. The visitors were presented to these distinguished gentlemen and many others. They returned home on Tuesday evening. Speaking of the exposition they say the grounds and exhibits are truly wonderful and are well worth a visit on the part of the people of this section. Yorba storm water district, were in Anaheim on Saturday arranging for the calling of an election to vote on the disincorporation of that district. The date of election is set for Saturday March 20th, next, and the polling place will be at the Commonwealth school house. Officers of said election are as follows: Judges—H. P. Smith and J. R. McGavaren. Inspectors—W. E. Gunnett and A. Koch. Clerks—A. V. Vall and George Mitchell. The polls will be opened at six o'clock in the morning of election day and will be kept open until seven P.M. of the same day. Notice of the election will be found printed in another column of the Gazette. The gentlemen state that the election will result in an unanimous vote to disincorporeate. The people within the district state that the district was formed without their consent, and they are of the opinion that the same should be abolished as soon as possible. A peculiar feature of this new law is that when only ten people present a petition to the supervisors calling for the formation of a storm water district, the same may be formed, and that it takes a two-thirds vote of the ballots cast to disincorporeate. The easy manner in which property owners may be excluded from the exterior boundaries of a district, by payment of a pro rata tax, just before the final adjudication of the district, is another matter that has been severely criticized. Mr. Coman, in conversation with a reporter of this paper, said: "I consider the formation of these storm water districts an injustice to the people. To attempt to put improvements in the Santa Ana river within our district as formed, would in time necessitate a tax levy that we would be unable to pay. That would virtually amount to confiscation." Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Rogers voiced similar views, and they assert that the district well be disincorpored without a shadow of a doubt. STORM WATER DISTRICT TRUSTEES CANVASS VOTE More than the Necessary Two-Thirds Secured and District is Officially Abolished President Peck supplemented these remarks with a statement that everything pertaining to the factory which appeared in the Anaheim papers was copied in the Louisiana press, and it was deemed unwise to have its private affairs made public in that region. The old board of directors was re-elected without opposition. They are A. R. Peck, C. M. Warner, J. S. Howard, Richard Melrose, J. Allan Knapp, E. T. Stimson and L. H. Multer. It is the opinion of all that a prosperous year is ahead for the company. More than 400 acres of beets have been signed up for the coming campaign, being 2000 greater than last year. The propitious weather the past winter has made a record crop reasonably certain consequently the sugar output next year will probably be 25 per cent larger than ever before. Furthermore, the officials predict that owing to the unfortunate conditions in Europe and the shortage in Cuba there will be no material change in prices. The Anaheim City Band has secured Buckner's Dixie Jubilee concert company for March 9 for a concert to be given at the high school auditorium on that date. The jubilee singers come well recommended, and played a two-weeks engagement at Trinity auditorium in Los Angeles. The city band will also give a concert that evening, and this alone will be worth the price of admission. The concert will be given under the auspices of the band and a first-class entertainment is assured all who attend. The city band is a credit to Anaheim, and the boys should be greeted by a large audience March 9th. Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Turner of Columbia, South Dakota, were visiting at the home of J. W.

STORM WATER DISTRICT TRUSTEES CANVASS VOTE More than the Necessary Two-Thirds Secured and District is Officially Abolished The trustees of the storm water district,Messrs.Nebelung,Fiscus and Pannler,met Saturday evening after the polls closed and canvassed the returns of the election.The found that 783 votes had been cast for disincorporation and 82 against. Secretary Welsel prepared a draft of all the minutes of meetings held by the trustees,since their election,together with the result of the disincorporation election,and the same was presented to the board of supervisors on Tuesday Thus,the Anaheim Storm Water District was pronounced officially ended. On Tuesday the trustees of the district, accompanied by Attorney Welsel, appeared before the board of supervisors and asked that body that it permit the bills against the district to become a charge against the county.The board refused the request,and when a request was made that the amount due be charged up against the taxpayers of the district,and collected with the county assessment,the board refused so to do It was pointed out by Attorney Welsel that it would cost the district $900 or $1000 to collect this amount by assessment,但the board absolutely refused to act. Supervisor Schumacher sided with the petitioners and moved that the county pay the bill but received no second.

ENGINEER FINLEY NO MIND READER Unable to Say When Supervisors Will Get Action on Highway Commissioners' Report Col. S. H. Finley of Santa Ana, engineers for the Orange county highway commission, was in town on Monday afternoon, driving over in his automobile, against a raw nor'weater, for the purpose of holding an interview with Commissioner McFadden, whom he found at the water office. McFadden was holding down the job while Secretary Wallop went to get his hair cut. Finley was asked by a reporter of this paper whether he had heard reports that portions of cement piling for the new concrete bridge at Olive had been blown off by dynamite, when it was found impossible to drive them down deeper into the ground. He replied that he had not heard of it, but said that a competent bridge builder was now on the job as inspector, and PUERILE TACTICS DELAY PLAIN DUTY ACTION ON COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS AGAINPUT OVER BY COAST BOULEVARD BOOSTERS LARGE CROWD ATTENDS MEETING AT BALBOA, GO AWAY DISAPPOINTED In an endeavor to delay action upon the highway commissioners' reports at the associated chambers of commerce meeting held at Balboa on Wednesday evening of last week—at which time, Low Wallace had stated at the Yorba Linda meeting, the same would be again submitted by him — by long-drawn-out discussions upon topics of minor importance, indulged in by coast boulevard boosters—the transparency of the "stall" was so apparent that it was really painful.

A vote upon the reports would have remained unchanged. At the Yorba Linda meeting the commissioners' majority report was emphatically adopted. Mr. Wallace changed his vote from nay to aye in the finals, in order, as he claimed, to resubmit the same at the next meeting, a month hence. This procedure, it is contended, was ridiculous. He may have moved to reconsider in a reasonably brief time, but not, by any means, in a month. Then when the specified time arrived, to again delay action upon this important matter, his juggling of parliamentary rules took on an air of mockery that would afford a suitable caption for a serio-comic performance. After a splendid banquet was discussed at a Balboa cafe, President Gus Stern called the meeting to order and Secretary Metzgar read the minutes of the Yorba Linda meeting. L. S. Wilkinson made the address of welcome and extended the glad hand in a manner that was captivating.
