RICH SPECIMENS FROM MINING DISTRICT LOCAL CAPITALISTS RETURN FROM BRIEF VISIT TO PLATINA MAN LOST ON DESERT TWO DAYS, RESCUED AND BROUGHT BACK TO LOS ANGELES Bringing with them stories of the richest mining district they had ever seen, V. U. Simpson, G. W. Hamler, E. R. Werdin and a party of Los Angeles capitalists, returned some days ago, from Platina, the new mining town in Nevada. They brought with them many specimens of rich ore, including gold, silver, lead, zinc and other minerals. The party went over the Salt Lake road to Jean, which was reached after an all night's ride, and a twenty-mile automobile tour was made to the mining camp over excellent roads. Platina is an old mining district, which has lately come into prominence owing to discoveries of rich be made. McCarty was in cheerful mood when found, but was in exhausted condition, and was about ready to take the count. Instead of being brought into Barstow, he insisted that the rescuing party go after the machine and bring it in. The auto was recovered, and having procured gasoline at Barstow McCarty drove into Los Angeles the following day. ANAHEIM YOUNG LADY MARRIES L. A. MAN Violet Nebelung United to Thomas F. Cantwell in City of Angels Miss Violet Nebelung, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Max Nebelung, was united in marriage Monday to Thomas F. Cantwell of Los Angeles, whom she met during her career as a school teacher in the Angel City. The wedding was solemnized at the Cathedral chapel at 8th and Valencia streets, Rev. Father Kirk performing the ceremony. Only the relatives and intimate friends of the party were present, nineteen persons in all partaking of the wedding breakfast served after the ceremony, which took place at 9 o'clock. The guests who went up from Anaheim were, Mr. and Mrs.-Max Nebelung, Mr. and Mrs. M. W.

They brought with them many specimens of rich ore, including gold, silver, lead, zinc and other minerals. The party went over the Salt Lake road to Jean, which was reached after an all night's ride, and a twenty-mile automobile tour was made to the mining camp over excellent roads. Platina is an old mining district, which has lately come into prominence owing to discoveries of rich mineral belts. The largest mine in the district, named the Boss mine, is one of the richest in Nevada, and a million and a half dollars was recently refused for it. No visitors are permitted in this mine, where considerable work seems to be in progress. It is said that not much ore is being taken out of the mine at present, and secrecy is said to be preserved because of new and richer strikes upon the lower levels. The party made a descent into several other mines, going down to a depth of 600 feet. Platina is as yet in its infancy as a townsite, and the hotel and other lines of business are maintained in tents. Water is carried to the mines by burros, the means being somewhat primitive compared with more progressive centers of population. Excellent meals are served and there can be no complaint of inability to satisfy the inner man. The district is surrounded by a rich agricultural country, where water may be procured at a depth of 40 feet, and flowing artesian wells at 350 feet. Prices of town lots range from $150 down. No investments were made, for it is the impression of the visitors that the town site is not sufficiently developed as yet to induce large investments of capital. That this will come later, is their opinion, for the district is said to be fabulously rich in many kinds of mineral wealth. Jean is a small town on the Salt Lake road, where excellent accommodations may be procured. The townsite company maintains a number of automobiles which make frequent trips to and from the mines. During the party's visit a light fall of snow was experienced. They remained at Platina all of Wednesday, driving back in the evening to Jean, where train was taken for Los Angeles at 7:45 o'clock. The city was reached at 8 o'clock the next morning. An incident of the trip was the loss of a man named McCarty for two days, concerning whose whereabouts con- UNDER NEW LAW JURY IMPOSES SENTENCE A. L. Boyce of Newport Heights Sent To County Jail for 2 Months For the first time in this county a jury in the superior court on Tuesday passed sentence upon a man who had plead guilty. A. L. Boyce of Newport Heights pleaded guilty to a charge brought against him by John Kantz, father of Miss Melva Kantz, aged 17. Under the new law the jury fixed Boyce's sentence at two months in the county jail. The last legislature in placing the age of consent at 18 years, also made a provision in the law whereby a jury can bring in two verdicts, one fixing the penalty at a term in the penitentiary, the other at a term in the county jail, in cases where the girl is over 16 and under 18. A jury was chasen to try Boyce. Attorneys Clyde Bishop and Wallace Davis represented Boyce and Deputy District Attorney Koepsel prosecuted. The defense decided to rely upon teacher in the Angel City. The wedding was solemnized at the Cathedral chapel at 8th and Valencia streets, Rev. Father Kirk performing the ceremony. Only the relatives and intimate friends of the party were present, nineteen persons in all partaking of the wedding breakfast served after the ceremony, which took place at 9 o'clock. The guests who went up from Anaheim were, Mr. and Mrs.- Max Nebelung, Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Skinner, Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Abbey, Miss Lela Steadman and Raymond Nebelung. Everybody in Anaheim knows Miss Nebelung and will extend to her heart and sincere wishes and to the groom congratulations. She has taught school in Los Angeles for a number of years, and was teacher in the California school on Sunset boulevard until a month ago, when she resigned in order to make preparations for the wedding day. Mr. Cantwell is a prosperous young business man, being connected with the Pacific Life Insurance company.

McCarty was to have met the party at Jean in an automobile. He drove from Los Angeles and was last heard of at Barstow. He left for the Nevada line, and when the party arrived at Jean no trace of his whereabouts could be found. When the party returned to this city on Thursday morning a telephone message was received from Los Angeles that he was still missing. The sheriff of San Bernardino county was advised by telephone of the man's disappearance and other dispatches were forwarded to Jean and other points ordering search parties to go out after him. After an absence of 48 hours from Barstow, he was picked up on the desert in all but famished condition. His automobile had run over an embankment, and the machine's gasoline spilled out. He had only an orange and a flask of water to subsist upon. Being unable to move his machine, he struck out for Barstow, and had traveled 46 miles over the desert when picked up by a rescuing party. When San Bernardino officials heard of McCarty's disappearance, they telegraphed Los Angeles, asking whether it might not be possible for him to have disposed of the machine and decamped. Quick as a flash a message was returned saying that McCarty was worthy of every confidence, that an accident had undoubtedly befallen him and asking that immediate search The last registration is paying the age of consent at 18 years, also made a provision in the law whereby a jury can bring in two verdicts, one fixing the penalty at a term in the penitentiary, the other at a term in the county jail, in cases where the girl is over 16 and under 18. A jury was chased to try Boyce. Attorneys Clyde Bishop and Wallace Davls represented Boyce and Deputy District Attorney Koepsel prosecuted. The defense decided to rely upon the new law. After a conference with the district attorney, Boyce entered a plea of guilty. Koepsel then stated that the ends of justice would be served if the penalty was fixed at not over one year in the county jail. The verdict of the jury was that Boyce serve two months in the county jail. REPORTS POCKET PICKED OF $70 C. Nensen of Fullerton reported to the Los Angeles police on Monday that he was robbed by pickpockets of $70 early in the day on a Redondo car. Nensen remembers that he was jostled by two men as he entered the car but did not pay particular attention to the men and was unable to give a very good description of them. Every one of the six Knights of Pythias lodges in Orange county was represented at the open meeting of the local lodge Monday evening. Placentia, especially, was present in a body, coming over in numerous automobiles. There were so many visitors that the big lodge room overflowed, some of them being compelled to find space in an adjoining room. These open meetings are held every three weeks at some town in the county, at which the members from various sections get together and spend a social evening. Saturday night thirteen given in the high court This is in the nature and some of the boys females so perfectly boys are expected at them. There will be the Y. M. C.

The boys are making a tour of the United States for the purpose of adding to their knowledge and gathering information which may be used to advantage by their own countrymen, and they are giving a series of entertainments for the purpose of raising funds for the payment of expenses on the trip. The company is composed of boys from all sections of Australia, selecting being performer of comedy, turns and ragtime singer; scene from musical comedy, "selected to see the world," clever pattern comedian; Willie Humphries, female impersonator, sailor choreist, trained for songs descriptive of the sea; Master R. Frew, Scottish impersonator, Pierrot pyramid builders. While it is a pleasure to greet this band of future great men from across the sea, and compare them with our own rising statesmen, some dissatisfaction is expressed because a delegation of high school girls is not accompanying the party. Here in California the high school girls are far better worth looking at than the high school boys, and our people would take infinite delight in extending the glad hand to a bunch of young ladies from the land of the bushman and the kangaroo. However it is more than probable that the boys all carry photographs of their co-ed friends. SUBJECT CHOSEN FOR CHAMPIONSHIP DEBATE Anaheim and Los Angeles Schools Will Discuss Politics Anaheim and Los Angeles high RETURNS HOME WITH HONORS AS ENGINEER ANAHEIM BOY ERECTS COLD STORAGE PLANT IN BOSTON, COSTING $1,250,000 STRUCTURE EIGHT STORIES HIGH, 800 MEN EMPLOYED, WEEKLY PAYROLL $16,000 Coming home after an absence of thirteen years, with honors as a civil and constructing engineer, Gus Benners, son of our well known fellow townman, Joseph Bennerscheldt, has proved indisputably his master mind in the realm of mechanics and architecture. He has just returned from Boston, where for more than two years past he has been engaged in the erection of a refrigerating and ice plant costing $1,250,000 for the Commonwealth Ice and Cold Storage company. The main structure is eight stories in height with steel frame and constructed of reinforced concrete. The building has a length of 750 feet and is the largest establishment of its kind in the ing to the program which has been arranged, it looks like the visitors will be the entertainers. The boys are making a tour of the United States for the purpose of adding to their knowledge and gathering information which may be used to advantage by their own countrymen, and they are giving a series of entertainments for the purpose of raising funds for the payment of expenses on the trip. The company is composed of boys from all sections of Australia, selections being made by the people of the district, and each boy was chosen because of his ability and fitness. They are all musicians, 35 of them composing a brass band, while the others play stringed instruments and orchestral music. Moreover almost every boy is famous in his own section for some achievement, and the entertainments they give are worth seeing. There are orators and actors among them as well as musicians. The boys will arrive in Anaheim at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning under the charge of Lieut. Simons. They will march directly to the Y. M. C. A. building on South Philadelphia street, which is to be their headquarters while in the city. After being duly welcomed they will form in line and march to the high school where, in the auditorium, they will be ceremoniously welcomed. Prof. E. W. Hauck will deliver an address of welcome on behalf of the Anaheim high school. F. C. Krause, president of the board of trade, will address them on the part that body, and J. F. Ahlborn will extend the glad hand of the merchants' association to the visitors. These addresses will all be responded to by boys selected by the commander, and there will also be music between the addresses. At 1 o'clock in the afternoon there will be a baseball game on the high school grounds between the local high school team and the visitors. This will be a contest worth seeing. It will be the United States vs. Australia, and as baseball is peculiarly our own national game it behooves everybody to get out and root for the home team. At 3 o'clock arrangements have been made to take the party in automobiles throughout the surrounding country and show them all the points of interest. As one of the objects of the tour is to study and learn this will no doubt be a profitable trip for the boys. A swimming contest will be held in graphs of their co-ed friends. SUBJECT CHOSEN FOR CHAMPIONSHIP DEBATE Anaheim and Los Angeles Schools Will Discuss Politics Anaheim and Los Angeles high schools have finally agreed upon a subject for the debate which will be held at Manual Arts auditorium, Los Angeles, on Friday evening, May 21. The subject is "Resolved, that the short ballot is a safer tendency in government than the initiative." Anaheim has the negative side of the question, Frank Schacht and Fred Owen being the debaters. The Los Angeles speakers have not yet been announced. This contest will decide the championship of the Southern California debating League, the two schools being first and second in the number of points won during the series. Anaheim has 593 points to her credit, having won all three of her contests, while Los Angeles has 684 points, having won two and lost one to Anahelm. The local school won from San Pedro by 16 points, from Los Angeles by 7, and from San Diego by 2, but five premium points were added to each of these. A large delegation of high school pupils will accompany the speakers on the 21st and stimulate them with the songs and yells which have helped our champions to win on the rostrum and in the field on former occasions. TWO MEN INJURED IN A GOLLISION Auto and Motorcycle Meet on Los Angeles Street With Serious Results Whether the motorcycle ran into the auto or the auto ran down the motorcycle is a subject for argument, but as a result of the collision two men were taken to the sanitarium Tuesday evening for repairs. The accident occurred on South Los Angeles street near the Adelheid bath house, and there was ample room for the vehicles. Our young fellow-citizen left Anaheim 23 years ago, when a lad of 15. He was of studious habit, and inherited from his father a genius for mechanical engineering. He was a great reader of books, and while yet a child was a close student of the details of mechanics. On arriving at Oakland he entered the Oakland Iron Works as an apprentice, remaining with that establishment a number of years. He later moved to Seattle, where he went to business as a mechanical engineer. He erected cold storage and ice plants at Victoria, B. C., Ketchecan, Alaska, and at other points. The superiority of his work in these establishments brought him to the notice of the Commonwealth Cold Storage Co. of Boston, and when it decided to erect its large plant in that city it asked Benners to design its building and install its machinery. For an assistant in this work he entered into partnership with A. W. Sterrett, a well known civil engineer of Seattle, who remained in charge of the firm's coast business while Benners went to Boston and assumed personal charge of constructing the new plant in that city. Sterrett was three months in Boston as an assistant to Benners, but for the rest of time the latter was in complete charge of erecting the plant. Bennera decided on arriving in north to abbreviate his name, dropping the last syllable, and he now bears a shorter cognomen. He was married in San Francisco and has a daughter At the United States vs. Australia, and as baseball is peculiarly our national game it behooves everybody to get out and root for the home team. At 3 o'clock arrangements have been made to take the party in automobiles throughout the surrounding country and show them all the points of interest. As one of the objects of the tour is to study and learn this will no doubt be a profitable trip for the boys. A swimming contest will be held in the Y. M. C. A. pool at 5 o'clock. One of the boys is one of the greatest swimmers in the world, having defeated all the champions of Europe, and he will cavort around in the pool and give an exhibition of high class swimming. Saturday night the big show will be given in the high school auditorium. This is in the nature of a vaudeville and some of the boys will impersonate females so perfectly that the Anaheim boys are expected to throw bouquets at them. There will be a parade from the Y. M. C. A. building to the high school before the performance begins, and the band will discourse Australian music. An admission fee of 25 cents for outsiders and 15 cents for high-school students will be charged for the entertainment as this is one of the stunts where they make expense money. Even Sunday is not an off day for the boys, as every one is compelled to go to church. Seven of them are Catholics and will attend at St. Boniface, but the balance will be marched to the M. E. church and listen to a sermon by Rev. C. H. H. Sutherland. Sunday afternoon each boy is compelled to write a letter to home folks, telling of his condition and relating his experiences. A partial program of the vaudeville entertainment is: Boy violinist, Stan Saunders, boy tenor; quartette of saxophones; Clive Borkwood, refined Whether the motorcycle ran into the auto or the auto ran down the motorcycle is a subject for argument, but as a result of the collision two men were taken to the sanitarium Tuesday evening for repairs. The accident occurred on South Los Angeles street near the Adelheid bath house, and there was ample room for the vehicles to pass with 50 feet of space between them. The auto, a Ford, was driven by Ed Kolle of Fullerton, and the motorcycle was steered by Manuel Romo of Santa Ana, with Bernardo Escalate on the rear seat. These men were returning from Los Angeles, where they had been on a business mission. Both machines were going the limit allowed by law when they came together. The motorcycle was reduced to scrap iron and the auto had a front wheel torn off. Both Rome and Escalate were catapulted through the air and so badly shaken up that a passing auto picked them up and took them to the sanitarium. Romo, it was discovered, was not seriously injured, although he was considerably bruised, but Escalate suffered a broken leg and was otherwise damaged. The full extent of his injuries have not yet developed. The auto was owned by the Wicker-shelm Implement company, of Fullerton. The driver was not injured but the machine suffered the loss of a wheel. A Bayliss of Anaheim, is installing a KT valve irrigating system on the old Allen ranch, two miles west of Buena Park. The system requires 4000 feet of 12 and 14 inch pipe; and is manufactured by the Kellar-Thomason Mfg. Co. of Los Angeles, originators of the valve system of irrigating. In charge of the firm's coast business while Benners went to Boston and assumed personal charge of constructing the new plant in that city. Sterrett was three months in Boston as an assistant to Benners, but for the rest of the time the latter was in complete charge of erecting the plant. Bennera decided on arriving in the north to abbreviate his name, dropping the last syllable, and he now bears a shorter cognomen. He was married in San Francisco and has a daughter 15 years of age. His wife and daughter accompanied him to Boston, and remained with him until his work there was completed. They returned with him to U.S. city last week, and left on Saturday for San Francisco where they will visit relatives. Benners will remain here for several days on a visit to his parents and members of his family, and will leave in a few days for Seattle. The article in the Chicago trade magazine is illustrated with a number of cuts, showing the building to be a handsome structure, and there are a number of pictures of the interior mechanism as well. Bennara bears his honors modestly, has spoken to only a few persons outside of his family concerning his achievement. The article in the Chicago trade journal is as follows: One of the largest and best equipped refrigerating and ice plants in the world is the designation given to the recently completed plant of the Commonwealth Ice and Cold Storage Co. at the new fish pier, or "New Fish Wharf," as it is commonly termed about Boston, at South Boston, Mass. Few, indeed, will deny when told that the fishing industry of this one port alone demands a gigantic plant, such as this that the statement is a surprise. Who among us, except those directly interested would have believed that for the accommodation of the fishing business of one city alone, a state would 22, 1915 NUMBER 29 S HOME HONORS AS ENEER Y ERECTS COLD PLAST IN BOSTON, GIVES $1,250,000 RIGHT STORIES HIGH, LOYED, WEEKLY LL $16,000 after an absence of with honors as a civil engineer, Gus our well known fellow in Bonnerscholt, has only his master mind mechanics and arch-just returned from more than two years engaged in the erecrating and ice plant for the Common-Old Storage company.

But then, who except those directly interested, even stopped to consider that Boston has the greatest fish market in the world excepting only one other in England, and that one, it is predicted, soon to be relegated to second place by this newly erected market and cold storage plant. The truth is that no one in this country, except the large fish merchants, has realized the tremendous possibilities for the expansion of the fishing industry, nor the wonderful effect this would have on the country's markets in providing the very best of the sea food at a modern price. If this were carried out properly. It has remained for the boldest of the fish merchants to form a large corporation for the sole purpose of equipping and supplying a market for the rapidly increasing business of the fish industry in the city of Boston alone. Previous to erecting the new fish pier in South Boston the entire fishing business was handled on what was commonly called "T" wharf, where the space was limited and the sanitary conditions unsatisfactory. In 1908 the Boston Fish Market Corporation was organized with a capital of $1,500,000, and after careful planning and TRUSTEES ASKED FOR A $100,000 BOND ISSUE AFTER MONTHS OF ARGUMENT, CIVIC CENTER PROPOSITION MAY BE SUBMITTED TO PEOPLE COMMITTEE OF FIFTY MEET AND DECIDE TO PLACE PROJECT IN HANDS OF COUNCIL About fifteen members of the Committee of Fifty met at the library on Thursday evening to further discuss the civic center project. A motion, previously made, was taken from the table and read, as follows: Moved that the city trustees be requested to call an election for the issue of bonds as follows: $65,000 for the purchase of the block bounded by Los Angeles, Broadway, Lemon and Chestnut streets for a city hall and park site. $35,000 for the construction of a city hall and fire house on the proposed site.

For an assistant entered into partner-terrett, a well known Seattle, who remained firm's coast business vent to Boston and as charge of constructing that city. Sterrett in Boston as an assignee, but for the rest of latter was in completing the plant. On arriving in the estate his name, drop-tale, and he now bears on. He was married and has a daughter supplying a market for the rapidly increasing business of the fish industry in the city of Boston alone. Previous to erecting the new fish pier in South Boston the entire fishing business, was handled on what was commonly called "T" wharf, where the space was limited and the sanitary conditions unsatisfactory. In 1908 the Boston Fish Market Corporation was organized with a capital of $1,500,000, and after careful planning and arrangement with the state of Massachusetts the state commenced the construction of the new pier in 1911 and completed it in 1912. As soon as completed the Fish Market Corporation built long market buildings to accommodate all of the fish brokers and merchants. These building are 750 feet long and extend down either side of the pier to the water end, where in a separate building the fish exchange is located. In 1913 the Commonwealth Ice and Cold Storage Co. was organized and immediately engaged the firm of Sterrett & Bonners as consulting engineers to design and superintend the building of the cold storage and ice making plant required to properly handle this business, and much praise is due this firm, who had charge of the work for the able manner in which a limited ground area was made to accommodate so large a plant without unduly crowding any part, and withal providing the most complete economy. The buildings, and also the ice storage room, are constructed of reinforced concrete. Both the freezing and storage rooms are very heavily insulated so as to provide the greatest economy in the operation of the plant. The storage rooms are insulated with six inches of sheet cork on outside walls, also on floors and ceilings, with four inches of cork in the partitions. The fish freezing rooms which are carried at about 20 below zero, have eight inches of sheet cork insulated on outside walls and six inches on the floors and ceilings, and partitions. All of the partitions are either self-sustaining cork walls covered with cement plaster or four inches of concrete wall lined with cork. The cold storage rooms are served by four 8x10 elevators and the ice storage room also has two special ice elevators, all of these being electrically operated. The large ice storage room is 70x70 feet in area and 60 feet high and will hold 8500 tons of ice. The foundation, of course, on which A motion, previously made, was taken from the table and read, as follows: Moved that the city trustees be requested to call an election for the issue of bonds as follows: $65,000 for the purchase of the block bounded by Los Angeles, Broadway, Lemon and Chestnut streets for a city hall and park site. $35,000 for the construction of a city hall and fire house on the proposed site. The motion was seconded and after discussion was adopted, two votes being against it. It was moved that the chairman appoint a committee of three to present the motion to the Board of City Trustees for consideration. The chair appointed Messrs F. A. Yungbluth, P. H. Krick and John Ziegler, who will present the matter to the trustees tonight. Several months ago the city trustees called a mass meeting to get an expression of opinion from citizens upon the erection of a new city hall. Meetings were held at various times, and many committee meetings were also held. It was the intention of the trustees to adorn the present site with a new and modern city hall, costing, according to plans drawn, from $30,000 to $50,000. The civic center idea then sprung into being, which has been argued pro and con by citizens for several months. The site for the proposed civic center embraces the block wherein the library is now situated, bounded by Los Angeles, Lemon, Broadway and Chestnut streets. The matter now is up to the city trustees. It is optional whether they call an election or not. That Anaheim needs a new city hall admits of no doubt. Whether the people would vote favorably upon a $100,000 additional bond issue for civic betterments at this time is very doubtful. According to the motion passed, there are two propositions. In the event of an election, the people may vote upon the bond of $65,000 for purchase of a site, and upon the $25,500 bond issue to erect a city hall and fire house on the proposed site. Should the former be accepted, and the latter defeated, the city may at a future date dispose of its present city hall site and may apply the proceeds to the erection of the buildings upon the new site. Or, should the former be defeated and the latter approved, it is doubtful if these hands would ever be sold. the Chicago trade rated with a number the building to be a fire, and there are a series of the interior all. his honors modestly, by a few persons outsider concerning his article in the Chillal is as follows: great and best equipand ice plants in the ignation given to the plant of the Command Cold Storage Co. pler, or "New Fish commonly termed South Boston, Mass. deny when told that dry of this one port gigantic plant, such statement is a surprise except those directly have believed that for of the fishing busalone, a state would The cold storage rooms are served by four 8x10 elevators and the ice storage room also has two special ice elevators, all of these being electrically operated. The large ice storage room is 70x70 feet in area and 60 feet high and will hold 8500 tons of ice. The foundation, of course, on which results depend, rests on the refrigerating machinery and plant, and here again we see the very excellent equipment provided, and a most convenient and practical arrangement of the power plant, designed by the engineers. The machinery includes four Frick verticle 200-ton refrigerating machines, each provided with a cross-compound condensing Lentz popper valve engine. The refrigerating machines are guaranted to operate with eleven pounds of steam per horsepower hour with 150 pounds steam pressure, 100 deg. superheat and 26-inch vacuum. The plant has been operated much of the time it is stated, with 175 pounds steam and 150 deg. superheat, which reduces the steam consumption considerably below the eleven pounds guaranteed. The ammonia suction mains have been so arranged that any one cylinder or any machine can work on either of these ammonia systems without interfering with any other machine. Special scale traps are provided for these suction lines and on the discharge there is a newly improved Frick combination relief and stop valve which acts as a safeguard and prevents bursting of the syllinder if the machine is carelessly started without opening the stop valve on the discharge side of the compressor. Engineers and designers will notice a very novel and bold departure by Continued on Page Eight the bond of $65,000 for purchase of a site, and upon the $35,000 bond issue to erect a city hall and fire house on the proposed site. Should the former be accepted, and the latter defeated, the city may at a future date dispose of its present city hall site and may apply the proceeds to the erection of the buildings upon the new site. Or, should the former be defeated and the latter approved, it is doubtful if those bonds would ever be sold. It is argued that buyers would not care to deal with them, since the former issue were disapproved. There was much discussion upon this phase of the proposed bond issue by those present at the meeting Thursday night. Dr. McFarlane, Mr. Henderson, John Ziegler, Capt. Ahlborn, Prof. Hauck and others were in favor of the project, while C. E. Jones again went on record as being unalterably opposed to the civic center proposition. P. H. Krich said a stated sum should be decided upon for these improvements, and not to say one figure and mean another. He was opposed to any bond issue entailing a cost of more than $100,000. He was vigorously opposed to a higher sum. John J. Dwyer presided at the meeting, and during a discussion of the project favored a post card vote to determine the will of the people upon this matter. There was no second and this method was not agreed to. It is now up to the city trustees. Some of them are opposed to the civic center project, and have so stated in open meeting. None of the trustees have ever made any statement in favor of the same. Capt. Ahlborn read the following communication, giving his reasons for the civic center: The proposed site for the civic cen- Continued on Page Eight
