ELECTRIC CHANGE PRECIPITATES WORDY TIFF EDISON COMPANY'S ACQUISITION OF MUNICIPAL UNIT CONSIDERED BAD MOVE BOARD OF TRADE MET IN REGULAR SESSION MONDAY NIGHT Through the innocently appearing request of the Anaheim Steam Laundry for a reduction in the water rate furnished that establishment, a mild wordy war was indulged in between William Stark, member of the board of city trustees, and Messrs. Duckworth, Krause and Adams of the board of trade, relative to the turning over of the electrical department of this city to the Edison company. When the request for lesser water rates to the laundry was broached, President Prince called upon Mr. Stark to give his views of the matter. Mr. Stark—"I have nothing to offer Prof. Prince was called to the chair to preside. Henry Adams tendered his resignation as a member of the finance committee, to which position he had at the previous meeting been appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the absence of C. E. Eygabroad. H. O. Henderson was appointed to fill the vacancy. The bill of Engineer Steward for $50 for surveying upon the new river channel was ordered paid. The payment of the bill of F. K. Gresswell for $200 for furniture for the board of trade rooms was temporarily held up. The balance in the treasury amounts to $150. The committee on finance, consisting of Messrs. Noll and Henderson, have been instructed to devise some means of replenishing the treasury. A communication was received relative to the establishment of a home for the deaf and blind. For the former a tract of land of between 150 to 300 acres is desired, and for the latter some 15 acres or more is needed. The matter was referred to committee. It is announced that a new university farm similar to the one now located at Davis, is to be established somewhere in Southern California. It is to be of an agricultural nature and would be a decided acquisition to any locality. The board of trade will give furnished that establishment, a mild wordy war was indulged in between William Stark, member of the board of city trustees, and Messrs. Duckworth, Krause and Adams of the board of trade, relative to the turning over of the electrical department of this city to the Edison company. When the request for lesser water rates to the laundry was broached, President Prince called upon Mr. Stark to give his views of the matter. Mr. Stark—"I have nothing to offer upon that proposition. We have already taken the board of trade's advice in the matter of turning over our electric plant to the Edison company, and we have gotten in bad thereby. We were told by your committees time and again that the city could save the taxpayers over $400 per month by making the change, but that, we find, is a serious mistake. Instead, the cost to the city has been several hundred dollars more under the new regime than it ever was under the municipal plan as followed by the city for the past dozen years or more. It has been a bad move. I have always been opposed to changing the system, but through the persistent entreaties of the board of trade committees, and the Edison company, I voted for the change." J. W. Duckworth hotly resented the implication that the board of trade recommended the deal. He said they had only asked the trustees to investigate matters and endeavor to learn if money could be saved the taxpayers by letting the Edison company furnish the electric juice. Duckworth said the trustees were solely responsible for making the change. Henry Adams also denied that the board of trade recommended the change, and wanted a resolution passed, embodying that sentiment. However, the chair announced that inasmuch as no reference to that effect appeared upon the minutes of the board of trade in the past, a resolution to that effect would at this time be superfluous. Mr. Krause also resented having the impression go forth that the board of trade in any way recommended giving the Edison company the job. Mr. Stark reiterated that the trustees' action was greatly influenced by the constant appeals of the special committees, and also of the Edison people, to change over, but he realizes now that it was a bad move. A clause in the contract gives the trustees the active to the establishment of a home for the deaf and blind. For the former a tract of land of between 150 to 300 acres is desired, and for the latter some 15 acres or more is needed. The matter was referred to committee. It is announced that a new university farm similar to the one now located at Davis, is to be established somewhere in Southern California. It is to be of an agricultural nature and would be a decided acquisition to any locality. The board of trade will give the matter urgent attention at once and endeavor to have the farm located in this locality. A communication was received from J. C. Metzgar, secretary of the associated chambers of commerce, announcing that the county meeting would be held at Brea, last evening. Whittier and contiguous territory seeks inclusion into Orange county, and the matter was given prominent mention at the meeting. A letter was received from J. J. Burns of Portland, who says he was seeking a nice little bungalow built for two, and wanted to know what we had in that line. The secretary has informed Mr. Burns that we have just what he desires and invites him to come to Anaheim from whence he would never care to roam. Favorable reports were received in reference to the betterment of the telephone service in this city. Manager Larkin was present and stated that the system is being put in first class condition and that in very near future there will absolutely be no cause for complaint from patrons, all of which caused the glooms to disappear. Engineer Steward of the committee on river protection reported having had a meeting with the committee from the Carbon canyon district. It appears that a number of residents in Orangethorpe are determined to form a district, and build a dike diverging from the pumping plant of the Anaheim Union Water company at Crowther corner, and endeavor to throw flood waters from the Carbon canyon into the sandwash north of town. However, flood waters from Carbon canyon are of a very remote possibility and only occur during an unusually heavy rainfall, when the floods descend upon ranchers along East Orangethorpe avenue, and to some extent inundate property north of the avenue. The United Protection District is in corporation of Los Angeles county citizens of W movement for Los Angeles counties, with but the proposed by the people of a separate would greatly Whittler and lower portion losing their municipalities, and the government and the ranch movement because taxation that vies consequent Orange county Whittler notified the Associated merce last week with that body at Brea last night with Orangethorpe, and, if no plan of proceeding should these Los Angeles county admission to O no doubt include south of the No from a line east ocean.

Its delegation from any objectors to the Associated last night. The annexation probably cause cal situation in county now has dition would add sidering the rap hence, when th Mr. Krause also resented having the impression go forth that the board of trade in any way recommended giving the Edison company the job. Mr. Stark reiterated that the trustees' action was greatly influenced by the constant appeals of the special committees, and also of the Edison people, to change over, but he realizes now that it was a bad move. A clause in the contract gives the trustees the power to revoke the agreement at the expiration of one year, but 90 days' notice to that effect must be given the Edison company. The contract was drawn for a period of five years. After the meeting Mr. Stark stated that Manager Diemling made the statement that if he had charge of the plant he could operate it so that their contention to cheapen the rates would be made good. It is understood that Diemling bases his arguments in this respect, guided by the idea that the expenses at the power house could be greatly lessened by cutting down the force employed and also by lopping off the wages. It is said the Edison company has already expended $3000 in putting in their equipment. In the meantime the excessive charges for electric juice will have to be borne by the city. What the future will bring forth remains to be seen. As stated 90 days notice must be given the Edison company that a change is to be made, in order to revoke the contract. Should the city again assume charge of the electric light department, new machinery will have to be installed at the plant. It will require an expenditure of about $30,000. Bonds will have to be voted. And people nowadays are deadset against bond issues. Clearly the city has gotten itself into a dilemma, to state the case mildly. What is to be done is causing the powers that be many sleepless nights. In the absence of President Hauck, corner, and endeavor to throw flood waters from the Carbon canyon into the sandwash north of town. However, flood waters from Carbon canyon are of a very remote possibility and only occur during an unusually heavy rainfall, when the floods descend upon ranchers along East Orangethorpe avenue, and to some extent inundate property north of the avenue. The United Protection District is in good shape for formation, very little opposition to the same appearing upon the surface. The hearing comes up before the supervisors on July 19, when in all probability the district will be ordered created. John Ziegler brought up the matter of having a street dance on Lemon street on July 4th, and asked that a committee be appointed to carry the matter before the city trustees. No action was taken. It was ordered that the large sign board now unused be erected at North Lemon street and announce thereon the fact that the board of trade rooms are located upon the fourth floor of the Valencia hotel. Secretary Duckworth informed the meeting that excessive speeding upon the state highway was being constantly indulged in by autoists. Duckworth said a machine passed his home on North Los Angeles street the other day going at least 45 miles an hour. He tried to get the number but the gas wagon was going so fast he said, that he was unable to find out the driver's identity. Mr. Duckworth further said that when the accident occurred at the intersection of Los Angeles and Center streets the other day, between a jitney stage and another car, that the jitbus was hitting it up at a 25 mile clip. This was exceedingly dangerous. Duckworth said he would have three signed statements, to present to the board of trade at the next meeting, from parties who Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, California, Thursday, June 29 1916 SEEK ADMISSION TO ORANGE COUNTY WHITTIER CITIZENS ARE KNOCKING AT OUR GATES AND ASKING TO BE LET IN RICH AND POPULOUS STRIP MAY SECEDE FROM LOS ANGELES AND JOIN THIS COUNTY Objecting strenuously to the proposition under consideration for the incorporation of the whole of Los Angeles county within the city limits, citizens of Whittier have started a movement for the annexation of a section of Los Angeles to Orange county. This question was under discussion several years ago, but no definite action was taken. Later it was proposed to form a new county out of portions of Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties, with Pomona as the capital, but the proposition was voted down. tional population it would be entitled to one senatorial and two assembly districts. The river is naturally the logical division between Orange and Los Angeles counties boundaries. Orange county being one of the smallest counties in the state the better equalization of territory would be just and advisable. Now that Los Angeles is making aggressive steps to consolidate Los Angeles city and Los Angeles county there is all the more reason why the Whittler district people should want the proposed change. While the taxes of Los Angeles county may be high the taxes of Los Angeles city are enormous. The bonded indebtedness of Los Angeles is $38,236,650. The interest on these bonds must be paid, together with an annual installment of the principal. And the tax rate is ever increasing. Los Angeles feels there must be some relief from the unbearable taxation, and she is seeking to make the consolidation of the city and county for this relief. While the people of the Whittler district would not be relieved of certain taxes already imposed, they would escape the enormous additional taxation that would follow the city and county consolidation. Whether Whittier and the segregation population it would be entitled to one senatorial and two assembly districts. GERMAN SCHOOL HOLDS ANNUAL PICNIC HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, OLD AND YOUNG, MAKE MERRY ON CENTRAL GROUNDS FRIDAY NUMEROUS PRIZES AWARDED WINNERS IN VARIOUS CONTESTS AND GAMES Central school ground was the scene of galley and brilliant colors Friday, and inspiring music thrilled and enthused the throng of people, young and old, assembled there.

TIMOTHY CARROLL IS CALLED BY DEATH ONE OF ANAHEIM'S EARLY SETTLERS PASSES AWAY AFTER LINGERING ILLNESS Mrs. Lizzie Carroll, wife of the late Timothy Carroll, died at her home in the West End early Friday morning after an illness of two and one-half years. In December, 1913, she was stricken with paralysis, and in the following August she suffered another stroke. Since the second attack she has been an invalid. Early Tuesday morning she was stricken with pneumonia. The disease developed rapidly, and at one o'clock Friday morning she passed away. During her entire illness of two and a half years she has been under the constant care of a trained nurse and several physicians. Funeral was conducted from the residence at 9 o'clock Monday, followed by services at St. Boniface church at 9:30, Rev. Father Dubbel officiating. The remains were interred in the Anaheim cemetery.

E. Jackson appeared before the board of trustees on Thursday night and asked cooperation of that body in the regulation, or elimination entirely, of selling intoxicants to Mexicans, especially the Cholo species. The sheriff stated that in view of the fact that there is impending trouble with the Mexican government, that the sale of liquor to the gentry now here should be curbed. He said that it had come under his observation that in many cases liquor in large quantities...

Mrs. Carroll was born at Buncrana, County Donegal, Ireland, on August 15, 1856. At the age of 17 she came to America, and on the 29th of May, 1878, she was married in Los Angeles to Timothy Carroll. The young couple came immediately to Anaheim, and this has been her home ever since. She and her husband took a prominent part in the development of the community, and her death will be mourned by a host of friends. Four sons and one daughter were born to Mr. and Mrs. Carroll. The sons were Joseph, Timothy, Jr., George and Charles. George died on December 14, 1907, but Joseph and Charles reside here. The daughter, Mary, is the wife of R. W. Wallace. Timothy Carroll, husband of the deceased and father of the family, died in September, 1912. GAZETTE EMPLOYEE COMMITS MATRIMONY Marvin Tomblin and Miss Anna Puchert Married at Los Angeles Saturday The list of marriage licenses published in the Los Angeles papers Sunday morning contained the names of Marvin B. Tomblin adn Miss Anna Puchert, both of Anaheim. These young people stole away Saturday morning, procured a license and were married by Rev. J. I. Meyers, an Episcopal minister, at his residence on North Broadway. They were accompanied by Ward Nutter and Miss Ella Nickels, who acted as groomsman and bridesmaid. Mr. Tomblin is a member of the Gazette force, having been employed in this office during the past two years as a linotype operator. He is a young man of excellent habits and exceptional ability in his line of work. The bride has also been a resident here for the past year. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Puchert of South Bush street. During their residence in Anaheim both the bride and groom have acquired a large circle of warm friends and acquaintances, who are fore the board of trustees on Thursday night and asked cooperation of that body in the regulation, or elimination entirely, of selling intoxicants to Mexicans, especially the Cholo species. The sheriff stated that in view of the fact that there is impending trouble with the Mexican government, that the sale of liquor to the gentry nowhere should be curbed. He said that it had come under his observation that in many cases liquor in large quantities had been taken to outside points by the blind piggers, resulting in drunkenness among both sexes of that element with the resultant finale of shooting or cutting scrape and often murder being committed. It has cost the county a considerable sum to prosecute these cases. In view of the fact that the relations are strained between Mexico and this country Sheriff Jackson thought it would be wise to prevent, as far as possible, the sale of intoxicants to them. Sheriff Jackson was fearful that should a bunch of Mexicans acquire a large quantity of liquor at any one time, and adjourn to some out of the way place to hold a fiesta, that they may perhaps insult some Americans who in turn, under the warlike feeling now existing in some quarters, might take a shot or two at the aliens, thereby precipitating a riot. This is the very thing the sheriff is trying to prevent. He believes that if liquor was denied the Mexicans they would not be so tempted to cause an altercation, which just at this time might lead to serious results. Trustee Cook averred that the liquor business here was in competent hands and doubted the propriety of attempting to legislate against selling the Mexicans liquor. Cook believed they would get it anyhow elsewhere and stated that in Santa Ana large quantities of booze is being constantly sold. Cook says he knows that to be a fact. Bob Johntson informed the board that he had information to the effect that one firm in Santa Ana sold $300 worth of booze in a month and that the trade in that line at the county seat was looking up quite a bit. Trustees Brunworth and Stark averred that Anaheim gets a whole lot of blame for the outlawry existing in outlaying districts, whereas the cause of trouble can be easily traced to other localities. As a matter of fact, the liquor business here is well in hand, and all undesirables are refused liquor in any form. Marshal Kellenberger says Mr. Tomblin is a member of the Gazette force, having been employed in this office during the past two years as a linotype operator. He is a young man of excellent habits and exceptional ability in his line of work. The bride has also been a resident here for the past year. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Puchert of South Bush street. During their residence in Anaheim both the bride and groom have acquired a large circle of warm friends and acquaintances, who are showering them with good wishes as well as numerous presents. The newly married couple returned to Anaheim Sunday evening. After the first of the month they will make their home at 513 East Chartress street, where the latch string will hang out to their numerous friends. The Gazette joins in extending felicitations and good wishes to the young couple. George Nesbit will have to go to the penitentiary under a six-year sentence for running over and killing Miss Isabel Thomas on the Garden Grove road some weeks ago. Judge Thomas gave him a probationary sentence provided he could give a bond of $3000 with 30 names on it. In order to help him secure the bond, both the judge and his wife agreed to sign it, and Rev. William Thomas, father of the dead girl, attempted to secure the requisite number of signatures but failed. Nesbit's record previous to the tragedy is said to be the cause of the refusal of his neighbors to sign the bond. Miss Veda Walker, one of Anaheim's popular high school teachers, and her sister, Miss Ethel Walker of Orange, have gone to Sioux City, Iowa, to spend the summer vacation. ond, fancy hat pin, Mrs. C.

As a matter of fact, the liquor business here is well in hand, and all undesirables are refused liquor in any form. Marshal Kellenberger says he and his deputies are constantly on the qui vive for infractions of the law among the Mexicans, and some white trash, and saw no cause for undue alarm on account of the unpleasantness down on the border, superinduced by the watchful waiting. Sheriff Jackson left, thanking the board for its consideration, and while he hoped there would be no selling of booze in large quantities to migratory Mexicans, he would do all in his power to prevent trouble. The sheriff was assured that local officers would cooperate with him in suppressing impending trouble, but just what to do to stop the wetting of whistles, even among the Mexicans, was a perplexing problem. Trustee Dwyer argued from the standpoint that the city authorities should heartily cooperate with the sheriff in this matter and favored an ordinance prohibiting the sale of liquor to Mexicans, more especially in large quantities. There were present Mayor Schneider and Trustees Stark, Cook, Brunworth and Dwyer. Attorney Ames was present. The finance committee reported auditing demands against the city in the amount of $842.68, for which warrants were ordered drawn upon the treasury. C. H.
