Besides these immense fields of sweet peas and carnations there are many smaller areas in this state devoted to the growing for market of chrysanthemums, violets, daisyes, asters, dahlias all kinds of lilies roses and so forth. Many of the flowers are sold through the flower shops of the cities but the chief income to the growers comes from the sale of seeds.The annual shipments of flower seeds from California amount to many tons.

S. Department of Agriculture. In all, 2,445,664 motor vehicles were registered in that year and their owners paid a total of $18,245,713 for registrations and drivers' and dealers' licenses. This is an increase of $5,836,760 over 1914, and an increase of 734,325 in the number of vehicles registered. Automobile fees now defray nearly 7 per cent of the total amount spent on rural road and bridge building, whereas in 1906 the income from this source was less than 3-10 of 1 per cent of the total expenditure. The growth of the volume of fees and registrations is noted by the fact that in 1901 New York, the first state to require fees, collected only $954. In 1906 only 48,000 cars were registered throughout the entire United States. By 1915, however, the number had jumped to the figure given, so that there is slightly more than one motor car registered for each of the 2,375,000 miles of road outside of the important towns and cities. In the number of registrations New York state led in 1915 with 255,242; Illinois was second with 180,832; California third with 163,242; and Pennsylvania fourth with 160,137.

On Tuesday he went up to the city put up at the Garcia home, and during the night when the inmates were asleep, he arose, wrapped the little girl in a sheet and fled from the house. He brought her to his home at West Anaheim where he was found and placed under arrest. YORBA LINDA ROADS $40,000 Will be Expended on Streets Of That Town The new and progressive Yorba Linda district is going to expend $40,000 in bettering the roads of the townsite. It is proposed to organize a road division of the townsite, and raise the money that shall be needed to cut the grades, widen roads and grade and oil every road in the townsite. J. F. Conley of Yorba Linda was at the court house gathering information upon the procedure that is laid down by law for the formation of a road division. The division can be taxed or bonded for whatever improvements may be designated. Yorba Linda lies upon the mesa and rolling hills between Yorba and Olinda. A splendid citrus section has been developed there. The county has a paved highway entering the townsite from the west. Several of the streets are in need of improvement, and the people of the section are willing to work toegather to get them improved. Our motto is Good Service and Courteous Treatment.

The offer was accepted. Trustee Dwyer believed, however, that the same should have been submitted to a competitive bid. Miss Elizabeth Calnon, librarian, submitted a report, showing a balance in the library fund on July 7, amounting to $786.40, also tabulated statement showing receipts and expenditures. The library board desired a conference with the city dads, but owing to a rush of business at the Thursday night session, the joint meeting of the board was adjourned to a latter date. A communication was received from C. P. Pillsbury, of the War Department, stating that Robert Mills contemplated building a 200 foot pier at his water reservation at Anaheim Landing. Invitation was extended anyone to come to his office and show cause, if any exists, why the same should not be built.

Engineer Adams arsked for the usual yearly vacations for city employees at the power house. Upon motion of Trustee Cook and carried, only the four engineers, inside, who work Sundays, will be given the 10 days vacation. The outside men, not doing seven days, not being included. Marshal Kellenberger asked for a 10-day vacation for members of the police force, and the same was granted, the men doubling up in order that the layoff may be enjoyed. It was ordered that the city purchase uniforms and caps for the police officers. The suits will be of olive drab and will cost about $27 each, caps $3.50. It is claimed by experts that uniforms promote efficiency. It was moved by Cook, seconded by Brunworth, that no assistant engineer at the power house, excepting Emil Leib, receive more than $75 per month. The schedule for these men, at present, is as follows: Schneider $90, Rannow $80, Miller $85, Hannum $80. Leib receives $90, Engineer Adams $100. Carried. Trustee Dwyer stated that complaint had been made to him that the police were derelict in their duty upon the occasion of the theft on July 4th of a horse and buggy belonging to L. Z. Huntington. It was said by Dwyer that the theft occurred at 4 o'clock that afternoon, and that pursuit of the criminal was slow. The matter was a serious one and Dwyer believed that unless the police officers were more alert they had better seek pastures new for their labors. Marshal Kellenberger stated that owing to the fact that the police have no means of locomotion except bicycle or foot power, they are greatly handicapped in their duties. He had endeavored to get an auto to go after the criminal, but failed momentarily, but just about that time Deputy Bud Sack-go delinquent. The penalty is $7. A half cent is to be lopped off the present rate, and the penalty will be withdrawn provided he pays up last months bill before the 15th. McFarlane said unless he got a cheaper rate he would sink a well. It was ordered that Rudolph Fossek, superintendent of the sprinkling department, furnish Engineer Adams the number of gallons of water used each day in street sprinkling in order that official may accurately compute the amount of water used for that purpose and that consumed in other channels. (Street Supt. Sackett—"If you can get old man Fossek to give you any figures as to the amount of water used, you will be doing something that nobody else ever did.") The engineer is preparing data which will be presented to the trustees, showing the amount of water used during the month and cost of production. Several consumers have asked for reductions in water rates, and the trustees are desirous of acquiring the actual figures. City Clerk Merritt states that under present conditions no reduction in the water rate can be made. It was ordered that two dozen chairs be purchased for use in the council chamber rooms. At times when there was a rush of visitors some of the more unsophisticated plebians had a habit of sitting on the wood box, and the city dads didn't think it looked nice, so they ordered the new manogany. The finance committee audited demands against the city amounting to $7930.62, for which warrants were ordered drawn.

This fact became known when Delgado's case was called for trial before Judge West. It was necessary to postpone the trial until July 29th by which time Delgado may final was slow. The matter was a serious one and Dwyer believed that unless the police officers were more alert they had better seek pastures new for their labors. Marshal Kellenberger stated that owing to the fact that the police have no means of locomotion except bicycle or foot power, they are greatly handicapped in their duties. He had endeavored to get an auto to go after the criminal, but failed momentarily, but just about that time Deputy Bud Sackett came on duty, and that officer was given the detail. Sackett made a detour with his car to the south and west, was gone two hours, but failed to land his man. The horse and buggy late rwas recovered, but the thief escaped. The harness was also gone. At a recent meeting the gasoline furnished officers was ordered cut off, and now the guardians of the peace have no propelling power, outside of the limits, except that which they furnish themselves. Thus they are handicapped. Within the city limits the cops can hurry and scurry hither and yon in pursuit of criminals, by foot or bicycle, but when the trail leads out of town they have to halt. Many times they continue their quest, outside the limits in their own autos, driven with private gas, which they consider unfair. So what's to be done? Trustee Cook spoke disapprovingly of Trustee Dwyer making public accusations against the police without stating the facts in the case, more especially since the latter gentleman voted in favor of not allowing the patrol wagon any city gas. Dr. MaFarlane made request for lower water rate for his ice plant. He said that unless he got a cheaper rate he would have to quit.

This fact became known when Delgado's case was called for trial before Judge West. It was necessary to postpone the trial until July 29th by which time Delgado may be out of danger.
