EDISON COMPANY WILL FURNISH ELECTRICITY CONTRACT AWARDED CORPORATION TO SUPPLY ANAHEIM WITH JUICE FOR FIVE YEARS TRUSTEES ARGUE THAT IT IS CHEAPER TO BUY THAN TO MANUFACTURE ENERGY After the first of April the city of Anaheim will cease to manufacture electricity for its customers, and the Southern California Edison company will furnish the juice for all consumers, both for light and power as well as street lighting. At a special session of the trustees Thursday night N. L. Diemling of Santa Ana, district agent, and H. H. Sessions of Los Angeles, commercial engineer of the Edison company, presented a contract which, after considerable discussion, was finally accepted by a unanimous vote of it at the time, but a bond issue was voted. It has proven a source of profit to the city almost from the beginning. Continuously during the past seventeen years it has yielded a profit to the city, ranging from a few hundreds at the beginning to several thousands the past few years. At the close of the fiscal year, 1913-14 a surplus of $8536.70 was found, consequently on May 14, 1914, the trustees lowered the rate to consumers from ten cents to seven cents. Notwithstanding this reduction the receipts during the last fiscal year were $27,097.08 and the expenditures $19,816.95, leaving a balance on the credit side of the ledger of $7280.14. This was the net surplus after paying the interest on outstanding bonds, the redemption fund and allowing $5000 for depreciation of the plant. The plant was established because satisfactory terms could not be secured from a private corporation. In 1899, five years after it was built, there were only 62 customers on the rolls. At the present time there are more than 1100. The city was charged up with $2931.80 for street lights last year and $198 for public buildings, making a total of $3129.80, for which the Edison company will, of course, be paid. Whether or not any changes will be made in the power house force is not known at this time. LEAGUE AND MARCH ANAHEIM AND HOLLING SCHOOLS WILL COME THE AUDITORIUM LOCAL ORATORS WILL THAT AN EDUCATORY BE APPLIED GRANTS Friday, March 24, is for holding the next California High School League's contests. He been chosen to try co-Anaheim, and the strong place in the high school in this city. The queues is, "Resolved, that he be enacted providing sion of all immigrant years of age who can amination in the real language." Anaheim affirmative side of th Anaheim will cease to manufacture electricity for its customers, and the Southern California Edison company will furnish the juice for all consumers, both for light and power as well as street lighting. At a special session of the trustees Thursday night N. L. Diemling of Santa Ana, district agent, and H. H. Sessions of Los Angeles, commercial engineer of the Edison company, presented a contract which, after considerable discussion, was finally accepted by a unanimous vote of the board. There are two reasons given by the trustees for this action. One is that the Edison company can furnish it cheaper than the city can manufacture it, and another is that should the city continue its plant additions and improvements costing $20,000 are necessary, and the trustees would be compelled to call a bond election for the purpose of making the changes. Remembering the fate of the city hall bonds the board felt doubtful about the issue. Messrs. Diemling and Sessions presented a contract Thursday night in which they agree to furnish the city electricity at the rate of 1 1-3 cents per kilowat for the first 25,000 kilowats per month, and one cent per kilowat for all used over that amount each month. They fix a minimum to be paid for by the city of 31,671 kilowats per month. Under this contract their bill cannot be less than $400 per month. The contract is for five years, the city having the privilege of cancelling it at the expiration of a year. While the minimum is fixed at 31,671 per month, the eleven hundred consumers in the city use considerably more than that, consequently the company's bill against the city will always be much larger than $400. At the present time 65,000 wilowats per month are consumed, consequently the bill would exceed $800 per month. The Edison company's juice will come from the substations at Katella and Fullerton. It will be delivered to the city's employees at the power house and from there distributed to the customers just as it has been heretofore. The company's responsibility ceases at the power house, as consumers are still customers of the city. The only difference between this and the old system is that the municipality buys its electricity from the corporation instead of manufacturing it. The trustees claim they will save money by the change as its costs over two cents per satisfactory term could not be secured from a private corporation. In 1899, five years after it was built, there were only 62 customers on the rolls. At the present time there are more than 1100. The city was charged up with $2931.80 for street lights last year and $198 for public buildings, making a total of $3129.80, for which the Edison company will, of course, be paid. Whether or not any changes will be made in the power house force is not known at this time. A contract extending the lease of J. S. Rockwell to the sewer farm for three years was accepted. The place has been cleared off and will be set to valencia oranges. Mr. Rockwell, who has charge of the septic tank, will take care of the trees during their infancy. M. Terry petitioned for an extension of electric lights to his residence at North and Olive. According to Supt. Adams the nearest pole to that point is at the corner of Olive and Alberta. It would require twelve poles to make the extension, and the cost would be $50. The clerk was instructed to inform him of the cost. C. A. Boege petitioned for permission to move a frame house from Resh street outside the city limits. It was granted. Building permit was granted to J. B. Andrews for remodeling a frame house on South Los Angeles street. BICYCLE THIEF CAUGHT BY FULLERTON COP Mexican Who Stole C. A. Criss' Machine Landed In Jail Identified by M. M. Litton, proprietor of a second hand store at Fullerton, as the man who had sold him a wheel which had been stolen from C. A. Criss of this city several days before, Jose Agullera, a Mexican living at 718 Cypress street, Anaheim, was arrested at Fullerton Saturday afternoon by Deputy Marshal Murillo. He was brought to the jail here, where he is held on suspicion of the theft while officers at Fullerton and Anaheim are seeking his partner, Juan Oliva, who is believed to have been implicated with him. Last week, Agullera sold the wheel to Litton, according to officers, and League's contests. He been chosen to try co Anaheim, and the strate place in the high school in this city.

It will be delivered to the city's employees at the power house and from there distributed to the customers just as it has been heretofore. The company's responsibility ceases at the power house, as consumers are still customers of the city. The only difference between this and the old system is that the municipality buys its electricity from the corporation instead of manufacturing it. The trustees claim they will save money by the change as its costs over two cents per kilowat to make it, whereas the Edison company furnishes it for a fraction over one cent. It will cost $680 to make changes in the plant. This will be paid by the city, but at the close of the year of probation, if the board decides to continue contract it will refund this money. All necessary changes in motors will be made by the company at its own cost, and it will also readjust all meters. City Electrician E. H. Adams, who is superintendent of the power house, is opposed to the change, and entered into an argument with the representatives of the company, questioning some of the statements made in their proposition. Mr. Adams finally wanted to know, as a side issue, what he was to do with the fire siren after the fire was shut off and the boilers ceased to generate steam. He was told that he could put in a compressed air tank which would give the same results on the siren as steam. The Edison company is now supplying a large number of cities with electricity, and the trustees claim that investigation shows that the service is giving excellent satisfaction. The juice is generated in Kern county, by water power, consequently the company can produce it much cheaper than a small plant. The municipal lighting plant was established in 1894 at a cost of $7000. There was considerable opposition to Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, California, Thursday, February 24, 1916 LEAGUE DEBATE WILL BE HEED MARCH 24 ANAHEIM AND HOLLYWOOD HIGH SCHOOLS WILL CONTEST AT THE AUDITORIUM LOCAL ORATORS WILL DEMAND THAT AN EDUCATIONAL TEST BE APPLIED TO IMMIGRANTS Friday, March 24, is the date fixed for holding the next of the Southern California High School Debating League's contests. Hollywood has been chosen to try conclusions with Anaheim, and the struggle will take place in the high school auditorium in this city. The question to be discussed is, "Resolved, that a law should be enacted providing for the exclusion of all immigrants over sixteen years of age who cannot pass an examination in the reading of some language."

The committee, which was selected at League's contests. Hollywood has been chosen to try conclusions with Anaheim, and the struggle will take place in the high school auditorium in this city. The question to be discussed is, "Resolved, that a law should be enacted providing for the exclusion of all immigrants over sixteen years of age who cannot pass an examination in the reading of some language." Anaheim was given the affirmative side of the question; and Harold Goodale and John Bradley will prove to the satisfaction of the judges that an exclusion act should be immediately passed. This is the third debate of the series and the first one to be held in Anaheim. The first was held at Whittier and the orators of that school fell easy victims to George Kemp and Arthur Coons who won by 16 points. The next was with Los Angeles high at that school's auditorium, Dale Quarton and Morris Martenet upholding Anaheim's side of the question. Los Angeles nosed her opponents out by only seven points. Last year Anaheim high lead all competitors and lost the championship by only 2½ points. So far this season she has broken even, and if Bradley and Goodale win from Hollywood on March 24, the school will have an excellent chance of breaking into the finals and competing for championship honors at the end of the season. They have the easy side of the question and also have the advantage of debating on their own ground. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Coach Henry of Anaheim high school expects to put out a championship track team this year. Anaheim won first place at the Orange county track meet last year and because the team this year is composed of practically the same men of last year a winning team is expected. The seniors are suffering from inflation of the head and chest, following its track triumph over the other classes of the school last Wednesday. An excellent musical program was given in assembly, Friday morning. The program was as follows: Plano solo ... Dorothy Hunt Vocal solo ...

Franz, his son Roswell and Charley Brandenberg had a strenuous experience in a recent trip from Holtville to Anaheim, according to Mr. Franz. They started from Holtville on Wednesday, February 9, and landed here with the machine on Friday, the 18th, being nine days on the road. They encountered mudholes, high waters, suffered breakdowns and met with other discouraging experiences. They started from Holtville Wednesday reaching Nilend in the night. Next day, after leaving Nilend, they waded into a mudhole, and it took them six hours to wade out. Then they tore out a shaft gear after getting out of the mudhole, and a passing machine took them into Palm Springs Sunday. Mr. Franz took the train there for Los Angeles, intending to come down and visit his family. He just missed the six o'clock train, consequently he did not reach Anaheim until midnight. After making a visit here Mr. Franz returned to Los Angeles, purchased the new gear and hiked for his crippled auto. After carrying the piece of machinery gut to the car he found it wouldn't fit, consequently he had to telegraph to Los Angeles for another one. At 6:40 o'clock Friday morning the machine headed toward Anaheim in favor of a larger one embracing the entire county or, better still, the three counties of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, developed to such an extent at the meeting of the organization committee at the Mother Colony club rooms Friday afternoon, that the members finally threw up their hands and decided that it was useless to spend money and time in bringing a petition before the supervisors that would unquestionably be defeated. The committee, which was selected at the Santa Ana meeting of the committee of fifty Monday, is composed of Charles Eygabroad of Anaheim, Chairman; S. C. Hartranft of Fullerton, H. A. Lake of Garden Grove, George Moore of Smeltzer, C. L. Damron of Cypress, R. D. Gregory of Fullerton, and Dr. J. D. Thomas of Olive. These men were all present, as were also E. E. Keech, attorney for the committee, and H. Clay Kellogg the engineer. The members of this committee are all enthusiastic protectionists, and it was not until toward the close of the meeting, after a motion had been made to accept Mr. Kellogg's outline on the map as the boundary of the district, that it developed that almost every man was charged with a secret message to the effect that his particular section favored only a county organization and would vote in opposition to a sectional district. The meeting was on the point of endorsing a motion which had been made by Damron to the effect that they report back to the committee of fifty that sentiment throughout the section was opposed to the organization of a district, when Mr. Hartranft saved the situation by moving that a mass meeting be held at the high school auditorium this (Thursday) evening, at which all persons within the proposed district be invited to attend and endeavor to agree upon some line of procedure. Gregory of Fullerton, threw the first brick. He said he understood Mr. Kellogg's boundary circled around the city of Fullerton. He came to the meeting merely to enter a protest on part of his people, declaring there were fifteen hundred voters over there who would oppose the proposition to a man—or woman. Mr. Kellogg explained only a small section of Fullerton was included in the district, the Santa Fe railroad being the dividing line, but Gregory insisted that every man in that section was opposed to a small district, but favored a county or tri-county organization.

Captain Leeds, United States civil engineer, below Balboa, to determine the formation and what might be encountered if it were decided to create the proposed harbor. Captain Leeds is working under the authority of the county harbor commission. The commissioners say it will require several months to gather all the desired information on which the commission expects to base a report on the feasibility of constructing the Newport Beach harbor, such report to be made to the county board of supervisors. When Y. Kubo left the Southern Pacific depot at Santa Ana Saturday noon he had a bankbook containing $270 in paper money. He walked to the corner of Fourth and French St., and when he arrived there he discovered that his money was gone. Kubo hastily retraced his steps, but he could find neither bank nor money. He appealed to the police, and they went over the route with the Jap, but they, too, failed to get sight of the missing property. He came to the meeting merely to enter a protest on the part of his people, declaring there were fifteen hundred voters over there who would oppose the proposition to a man—or woman. Mr. Kellogg explained only a small section of Fullerton was included in the district, the Santa Fe railroad being the dividing line, but Gregory insisted that every man in that section was opposed to a small district, but favored a county or tri-county organization. Mr. Kellogg explained that Fullerton was many feet lower than the bed of the river and that the town was always in danger. Had a tree or some object lodged at the bend, he said, and started a dam, the river would have cut through above during the recent flood, and the main channel of the river would now be between Orangethorpe avenue and the Santa Fe railroad at Fullerton. Mr. Gregory was adamant; however. He was only the mouthpiece of his people, and he had delivered his message. Fullerton people, he said, had been reading danger signals for twenty years, but had never yet suffered from river water. George Moore of the Westminster district, talked likewise. He declared that everybody in the Westminster and Smeltzer regions favored the county organization, but all were opposed to the district. Hartranft stated that the same situation prevailed on Orangethorpe. Even Garden Grove registered a vigorous opposition to the proposed movement. H. A. Lake, representatives from that town, said he had communicated with at least two hundred people in his section, and every one of them was opposed to the local district, but favored the county proposal. Lake wanted some definite action taken so he could make a report to his neighbors when he got home. He declared something should be done now toward temporary pro- CALIFORNIA STATE BETTE 16 Number 21 HOPE RECTION CT MITTEE CIRRWHELMFRIDAY PERSONS INCT CALLENING ENT in opponation district and embracing the still, the three inside and San such an exorganization Colony club that the their hands useless to bringing a servisors that have defeated. was selected at tection. Garden Grove people are still working on the break in the banks below the Olive bridge, and he thought that all should contribute and help to confine the waters until the county system could be built. Supervisor Schumacher said he believed a majority of the people of Buena Park favored a district, but there was considerable opposition there. Both Messrs. Keech and Kellogg gave up the struggle, and each declared the opposition to a small district was so great it would be folly to attempt its organization. "Unless you have a sentiment in favor of the proposition at Garden Grove, Westminster and Anaheim," said Mr. Keech, "you might as well give up. It requires a two-thirds vote to carry the proposition. My advice to you is that you report back to the committee of fifty that it is apparent the sentiment in opposition is so strong it would be useless to spend money and time in attempting to organize." Mr. Kellogg was not disturbed over the defection of Fullerton, as he thought it would cause a heavier vote in the region below which would offset the Fullerton antagonism, but when the delegates from Garden Grove and Westminster cast wet blankets on the proposition his optimism evaporated and he acknowledged defeat. It was a peculiar situation. Ev ORANGE COUNTY GIVEN NINE PRIZES GETS THIRD PLACE ON FEATURE DISPLAY AT NATIONAL ORANGE SHOW AT SAN BERNARDINO ONE HUNDRED ANAHEIM PEOPLE MOTOR OVER TO THE GATE CITY SATURDAY Although the national orange show at San Bernardino is held at an unfortunate date for Orange county which does not pretend to compete with her eastern neighbors in the production of navels, yet this county made a creditable showing this year and captured a number of prizes. If the powers that control the show would fix the date a couple of months later, when the valencias are ripening, there would be nobody but Orange county people wearing ribbons, but the Mr. Kellogg was not disturbed over the defection of Fullerton, as he thought it would cause a heavier vote in the region below which would offset the Fullerton antagonism, but when the delegates from Garden Grove and Westminster cast wet blankets on the proposition his optimism evaporated and he acknowledged defeat. It was a peculiar situation. Every man on the committee favored the county or tri-counties organization, but each believed that something of a temporary character ought to be accomplished at once. Mr. Keech stated that it would probably be eighteen months before a county district could be organized. H. Clay Kellogg, who has lived in this region since 1869, and is familiar with every foot of the Santa Ana and its tributaries, gave an interesting talk on the stream and its possibilities. One hundred and sixty-two years ago Kyote creek, between this county and Los Angeles, was the bed of the river. Since that time it has had five channels besides the present one. It has been spreading out like the ribs of a fan, and the fertile soil of Orange county has been created by the erratic action of the river. It has traveled about as far east and south as it can go, owing to geological formations, and it will probably turn and travel back. He predicts that the next break unless it is curbed, will be above Anaheim, and that it will cut down Orangethorpe avenue through Buena Park. Mr. Kellogg also made the statement that the west bank of the river at the Olive bridge was seventy feet higher than Olive street in this city. In 1884, he said, the river came down the sandwash, and for six weeks there was a flood that made it impassable. In the flood of 1889, a great body of water rushed down Santa Ana street. Mr. Kellogg favors a county board of flood control, which body shall have jurisdiction over all the streams of the county. The meeting Thursday night will be a rousing one, as every interested person within the proposed district will be present. It is expected that something will be accomplished toward temporary protection until the legislature authorizes the county to act as a whole. The other prizes granted to this county were: Third prize for best four boxes of lemons; first, second and third prizes for best clusters of grape fruit; second prize for best cluster of oranges; first prize for largest specimen of grape fruit on display; first prize, a silver cup, for greatest variety of fruit on display; silver cup for best four boxes of oranges. Saturday, Orange county day, was the big day at the show. It is estimated that 15,000 people were on the grounds. Orange county sent a delegation of two thousand people traveling in 500 automobiles.

Two men were injured, perhaps fatally, Sunday when a 2,000,000 cubic foot gas tank at the Brea gasoline plant blew up and the engine and storage room were destroyed by fire. The victims are E. W. Spear, a bookkeeper, A G. W. Brooks, another employee. They were rushed to Fullerton for medical treatment. Reports say flames in some way unknown were started in the engine room and spread to the great tank. Saturday, Orange county day, was the big day at the show. It is estimated that 15,000 people were on the grounds. Orange county sent a delegation of two thousand people traveling in 500 automobiles. Nearly one hundred people went over from Anaheim, fifteen or twenty auto loads going from here. Among those who drove over with loaded cars were C. E. Holcomb, F. C. Krause, Charles Eygabroad, N. B. Walters, J. H. Brunworth, H. M. Adams, D. Jessurun, W. E. McCann and J. C. Craft. The party left here at 9:30 in the morning and arrived at San Bernardino at 11:30. A. S. Bradford of Placentia, to whose efforts were largely due the fact that Orange county won third prize in the best feature exhibit class, was among the biggest winners of prizes for individual exhibits. Bradford won third prize for the four best boxes of lemons; first prize in Class No. 9; first prize for the greatest number of varieties of citrus fruits displayed on trays by any one exhibitor; second prize for the largest orange in the show; second prize for the largest lemon in the show; and first prize for the largest grapefruit in the show. Mrs. Bradford had a remarkable table display, having a showing of 121 varieties of citrus fruits, all on one table. The showing was a most interesting one and attracted a great deal of attention, both from tourists and citrus men as well. The committee in charge of the Orange county display included A. S. Bradford, as chairman, W. W. Wilson of Newport J. R. Armitage of Sunset Beach and F. K. Gresswell of Anaheim,
