CANNERY FORTHIS CITY NEXT YEAR GOOD PROSPECT BOARD OF TRADE HAS INFORMA-TION LEADING TO THAT CONCLUSION UNITED PROTECTION DISTRICT PROGRESSES, ELECTION OF TRUSTEES NEXT STEP The board of trade met in regular session Monday night with President Herman Noll in the chair. Secretary Duckworth read a communication from Los Angeles parties who are desirous of establishing a cannery here. The letter had been referred to W. F. Herman, who formerly operated a cannery in this city, but which had been destroyed by fire several years ago. Mr. Herman is operating a cannery at Visalia, and looks favorably upon rebuilding the canning factory in this city. However, the time for getting the institution started to handle this year's product is short, and Mr. Herman says he is willing to get busy and certain if that body can arrange to install the closets. Prof. Prince, in speaking of the resignation of Prof. E. W. Hauck as president of the board, the later gentleman having accepted the principalship of the Fullerton union high school, said he believed a token of esteem, in the form of a letter of recommendation, should be presented Prof. Hauck by the Anaheim board of trade. Prof. Hauck's resignation had been accepted with regret, and many were pained to learn of his intention to sever his connection with the high school, and also as president of the board of trade. Capt. Ahlborn was in favor of tendering Prof. Rauck a public reception, and believed the board of trade should act as host. Messrs. Krause, Mills and others favored the reception, while Messrs. Stern, Renner and Reuther believed, that while Prof. Hauck was an estimable citizen and performed his duties as president of the board of trade well, still the gentlemen did not believe the civic body should tender the reception, thereby establishing a precedent. The matter was left to the entertainment committee who will act with the high school faculty and arrange for a fitting reception to be tendered the retiring principal. Manager Larkin of the telephone company gave interesting information whereby this station could acquire additional patrons from adjoining sections. Los Angeles parties who are desirous of establishing a cannery here. The letter had been referred to W. F. Herman, who formerly operated a cannery in this city, but which had been destroyed by fire several years ago. Mr. Herman is operating a cannery at Visalia, and looks favorably upon rebuilding the canning factory in this city. However, the time for getting the institution started to handle this year's product is short, and Mr. Herman says he is willing to get busy and equip the plant for next year's campaign. The purpose of the board of trade to have Mr. Herman get in touch with the Los Angeles capitalists with a view of erecting the cannery, for which a very inviting field awaits them. Mr. Mills informed the board that the intention of alloting one trustee for the United protection district to be taken from the Yorba district had been abandoned and that it had been decided to call the third trustee from the Buena Park-Stanton field, and he to be one who favored the formation of the district. The reason for not taking the trustee from Yorba was, Mr. Mills said, on account of the thinly populated section of Yorba compared with that of the western district. The two other trustees are to be taken from Garden Grove and this city. Mr. Mills reported that the supervisors had granted the petition to form the district, after a fierce contest, and that the election for three trustees would soon be announced. As yet no names have been mentioned, but it is understood that several gentlemen are in the hands of their friends. The office of trustee in a protection district is an important one. None but good men and true should be put in office. Owing to the fact that opposition to the district exists in some quarters, a campaign of education is to be carried on to enlighten the people as to the merits of the same. Mr. Mills said that since the people of Olive had formed a district and would build a dike on the east bank, that naturally would throw flood waters to the west side, menacing territory to the west and south. F. C. Krause said the committee had interviewed several prproperty owners on Center street who had not as yet moved back their building frontages. Some on the south side of the street intend to make the improvement shortly, and it is believed all will look favorably upon setting back. John of trade well, still the gentlemen did not believe the civic body should tender the reception, thereby establishing a precedent. The matter was left to the entertainment committee who will act with the high school faculty and arrange for a fitting reception to be tendered the retiring principal. Manager Larkin of the telephone company gave interesting information whereby this station could acquire additional patrons from adjoining sections, and doing away with switching tolls. Mr. Krause, in behalf of the Anaheim National bank, was given permission to use the board of trade rooms to hold a reception for visiting bankers who are to be the guests of his banking institution in the near future. The matter of arranging for autos to carry the visiting fire chiefs about this section on Saturday, August 26, was left to the committee on entertainment. Everybody was invited to attend the Thursday luncheon at the Valancia cafe at noon today. Capt. Ahlborn will act as chairman and Lew Wallace of Newport will give an address upon the feasibility of the proposed harbor. Mr. Wallace is a fluent speaker and will have something interesting for all who attend. Secretary Duckworth submitted his monthly financial statement: On August 8th there was $48.04 in the treasury. Messrs. Noll and Prince on finances are to make a whirlwind campaign for funds, and they give warning to all members not to try to escape when they see them coming. George B. Shaw was placed in nomination for membership and accepted. PRESIDENT ON EAST SIDE OF RIVER ENTER PROTEST Claus Otte of Olive Avers Dike on West Bank Diverted Flood Waters on Them Claus Otte of Olive was a business visitor in town Monday and made a pleasant call at this office. He says the people of his section recently voted favorably upon the formation of a storm water district and will shortly vote upon the issuance of bonds to perfect the system. Mr. Otte complains that people on the east side of the river at Olive were greatly damaged by heavy flood waters forced upon them by reason of the dike constructed last year on the west side of... F. C. Krause said the committee had interviewed several property owners on Center street who had not as yet moved back their building frontages. Some on the south side of the street intend to make the improvement shortly, and it is believed all will look favorably upon setting back. John Ziegler said the old wooden shacks opposite his hotel were an eyesore to the town and would like to see action taken to have them removed. The committee on public improvements, consisting of Messrs. Krause, Beebe and Durfee, were instructed to take the matter up with the city trustees with a view to having an ordinance passed condemning the old buildings and taking such other legal steps that would compel all owners to conform to the new sidewalk line. Herman Stern said he had been interviewing some of the property owners in regard to cutting down their projecting frontages and he believed they would soon get busy. President Noll was appointed as a representative to attend meetings of the associated chambers of commerce, instead of Prof. Hauck, who resigned. F. C. Krause is the other representative. The matter of establishing public lavatories and toilets was discussed by many, and all agreed that such were needed. The location of the toilets was a matter hard to decide, but it was said that they should be centrally located, if at all, and should be in charge of competent caretakers. Many eastern cities have established public toilets for accommodation of strangers especially. The public improvement committee will interview the city council and as Claus Otte of Olive was a business visitor in town Monday and made a pleasant call at this office. He says the people of his section recently voted favorably upon the formation of a storm water district and will shortly vote upon the issuance of bonds to perfect the system. Mr. Otte complains that people on the east side of the river at Olive were greatly damaged by heavy flood waters forced upon them by reason of the dike constructed last year on the west side of the river extending north from the Olive bridge. Mr. Otte says the dike diverted the water and he and others were damaged thereby. He maintains the 600 foot channel proposed by the United protection district is entirely too narrow. It should be at least 1000 feet wide. In the endeavor to force the flood waters under the new concrete bridge, which likewise is too short, that also had a tendency to force flood waters over to the east side of the river. Mr. Otte does not believe the dike on the west bank will ever be built under the present program, because the east sides will forcefully protest, claiming it will divert river waters from their natural channel. Damage suits would then result. He believes a better way would be if every body worked in unison and then both sides of the river would get proper recognition, and the greatest good would come to the greatest number. Mr. Otte deplores the fact that the Olive bridge remains impassable and is at a loss to know when it will be constructed as it should be. The Olive bridge is one of the most important in the country and he believes the supervisors should beatir themselves and see that it is re-built as soon as possible and built right. Dr. and Mrs. D. L. Parker spent a few days at the beach last week. Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, California, Thursday, Aug. 17 1916 HUGHES PASSES THROUGH THIS CITY MONDAY REPUBLICAN STANDARD BEARER SPEAKS AT SANTA ANA 15 MINUTES FROM SANTA FE TRAIN TRAIN PASSES HERE AT 5:55 P.M., MAKES USUAL STOP, HUGHES MAY BE SEEN Charles Evans Hughes, republican standard bearer, will pass through Anaheim twice on Monday next on his way from Los Angeles to San Diego, once on the train passing here at 1:08 a.m., and on his return trip at 5:55 o'clock in the afternoon. This latter train is due here at 5:40, but it will be held 15 minutes at Santa Ana, in order to give Mr. Hughes an opportunity to address the citizens at that point. It is expected that a crowd of 5000 will be gathered to hear the distinguished speaker. Republicans of this city made efforts early in the week to have the WERDIN REFUSES TO ACCEPT CONTRACT L. A. PAVING COMPANY REFUSES TO SIGN FOR WEST BROADWAY PAVING WORK TRUSTEES RE-ADVERTISE FOR BIDS WHICH WILL BE OPENED MONDAY, AUGUST 28 At a special meeting of the city trustees Monday evening all bids submitted for the West Broadway paving contract were swept aside and thrown into the waste basket, and contractors will be asked to come again. On the 24th of July the contract was awarded to the L. A. Paving company at 10.74 cents per square foot. This company was not the lowest bidder, the S. C. Contracting company of Los Angeles having agreed to do the work for 10.68 cents. A committee named by the board appointed to investigate the reliability of this company reported unfavorably, consequently the contract was given to the next lowest bidder, AGED CITIZEN IS SUMMONED BY DEATH JOHN HANNA, PIONEER, PASSES AWAY AT THE ADVANCED AGE OF 86 YEARS HAS BEEN A RESIDENT OF ANAHEIM FOR NEARLY HALF A CENTURY Full of years, honored as a pioneer settler and an excellent citizen, John Hanna died at his home on the boulevard south of town Saturday afternoon. There are few persons now living in Orange county who were here when he came to Anaheim on November 3, 1868, nearly half a century ago. As a matter of fact few white men were living in this section at that time, and he found the country mostly virgin soil. He had previously purchased from H. D.

This latter train is due here at 5:40, but it will be held 15 minutes at Santa Ana, in order to give Mr. Hughes an opportunity to address the citizens at that point. It is expected that a crowd of 5000 will be gathered to hear the distinguished speaker. Republicans of this city made efforts early in the week to have the train also stop here long enough to give Mr. Hughes a chance to speak, but this was found to be impossible. The train will make its usual stop, and the next president of the United States may be seen by those who gather at the depot, but, according to present information he will not make an address here. When it became known that the Hughes party would pass through Orange county, W. B. Williams, the state central committeemen, immediately attempted to arrange for stops at several points in the county. He wired W. W. Mines of Los Angeles, vice-chairman of the republican state central committee, who is in charge of Mr. Hughes' tour through the state. Mr. Mines took the matter up with A. N. Rodway, the advance man of the Hughes party. That gentleman had been in Los Angeles but left for San Francisco before Mr. Williams' telegram was received. Mr. Mines communicated with him in the northern city, but the best arrangement he could make for Orange county was to secure a fifteen minute stop at Santa Ana. The train will reach there at 5.10 Monday evening. Hundreds of Anaheim people will take advantage of this opportunity of seeing and hearing the next president of the United States. Mr. Hughes enters California from the north early Friday morning. He is scheduled to speak at San Francisco the same night. Friday afternoon he will address the women of San Francisco and Saturday afternoon will speak at a mass meeting in Oakland. He leaves for the South Saturday night arriving at Los Angeles Sunday morning. He will spend the day in that city. Mr. Hughes will only have a passing view of this section of Uncle Sam's domain, but when he reaches here he will have entered the greatest walnut growing region in the United States, the greatest Valencia orange district in the world, and one of the foremost into the waste basket, and contractors will be asked to come again. On the 24th of July the contract was awarded to the L. A. Paving company at 10.74 cents per square foot. This company was not the lowest bidder, the S. C. Contracting company of Los Angeles having agreed to do the work for 10.68 cents. A committee named by the board appointed to investigate the reliability of this company reported unfavorably, consequently the contract was given to the next lowest bidder, the L. A. Paving company. Property owners on West Broadway carried the matter to the superior court and secured an injunction restraining the street superintendent from signing the contract until the reliability of the lowest bidder, the S. C. company could be determined by a suit. Fifteen days time is allowed under the law for the successful bidder to fulfill his bond and sign the contract, and Friday was the last day of the time limit, but instead of signing the contract, E. R. Werdin, manager of the L. A. Paving company, submitted a letter to J. W. Sackett, street super-intendent, in which he refused to accept the contract. Mr. Werdin explained that he did not desire to embarrass the trustees by forcing them into litigation, consequently he refused to fulfill his obligation. Under the law failure of the successful bidder to qualify within fifteen days abrogates his contract, consequently it is necessary to call for new bids. The law requires that notice for receiving sealed bids shall be published ten days before the date of opening. The next regular meeting of the board will be held on the 24th, but as that date was one day short of the required time it was decided to hold an adjourned session on Monday, Aug 28, at which time the bids will be opened. McPHEE STILL LIMPS George McPhee, accompanied by his son, was in Anaheim Monday. Mr. McPhee is still suffering from the injuries he received two weeks ago when J. D. Lavin's auto rammed his machine at the intersection of North Claudina and Center streets, and turned the car over on him. He was here Monday interviewing people who were eye-witnesses of the accident. Mr. McPhee found a number of people here who saw the accident and they generally agree in telling the story. He had agreed to come again. There are few persons now living in Orange county who were here when he came to Anaheim on November 3, 1868, nearly half a century ago. As a matter of fact few white men were living in this section at that time, and he found the country mostly virgin soil. He had previously purchased from H. D. Polhemus, agent for the Stearns Rancho, 1280 acres of land lying south and west of Anaheim, paying $10 per acre for it, consequently he was coming to take possession of his own domain. The family came down from San Francisco on the coasting vessel, Orizaba, and landed at Wilmington, now Los Angeles harbor. They came over to Anaheim in a stage, and Mr. Hanna immediately began hauling the lumber from Anaheim Landing. He engaged in grain growing and stock raising, but gradually disposed of portions of his ranch. All the ground on which the town of Garden Grove now stands was a portion of it, also the Katella section south of Anaheim. He purchased more land after his arrival here, but finally disposed of all of it but a 60-acre walnut ranch on the boulevard at Miraflores station, which he owned at the time of his death. Mr. Hanna was noted for the fact that he persistently refused to irrigate, but his trees have always remained healthy and have yielded good crops of nuts. When he first began cultivating his big ranch the water question was not a problem as it could be found within four feet of the surface. He dug trenches and watered his stock therefrom with under ground water. But the drainage system toward the ocean and the numerous wells sunk in later years have lowered this water level. He has lived through a momentous period in Orange county's history, and has witnessed many changes and developments. Mr. Hanna was born on July 16, 1830, at Steubenville, Ohio, and died at the age of 86. He was married in that town in 1852 to Miss Martha Rogers. He was a man of education, being a graduate of Kenyon college, Gambler, Ohio. In 1860 Mr. Hanna with his family came to California. He frist engaged in the mining business at Nevada City, but shortly afterward moved to Alvarado. In 1865 he again moved, locating at Oakland, where he remained three years. It was while living at Oakland that he negotiated Mr. Hughes will only have a passing view of this section of Uncle Sam's domain, but when he reaches here he will have entered the greatest walnut growing region in the United States, the greatest Valencia orange district in the world, and one of the foremost sugar producing territories. From his train he can see hundreds of acres of oranges and walnuts and a number of sugar factories. All of these great industries depend upon a protective tariff for their existence. Had the European war not broken out simultaneously almost with its enactment the Underwood tariff law would have laid waste to all these industries of Orange county. They would have been utterly destroyed, or at least crippled to such an extent that the business would have been unprofitable to the owners. It is to be regretted that Mr. Hughes cannot stop long enough in Orange county, the garden spot of the world, to make himself familiar with our products and the necessity for protection therefor. However he is a republican and a protectionist, and stands firmly on the republican platform which demands protection to all of America's industries, and Orange county ranchers and manufactures may expect a square deal from him. One of the greatest political meetings ever seen in California will be held at Los Angeles Monday night, at which time Mr. Hughes will speak. Hundreds of Orange county republicans will be present and hear him expose the weakness, the extravagance and the broken promises of the Wilson administration. The hot shot that son, was in Anaheim Monday. Mr. McPhee is still suffering from the injuries he received two weeks ago when J.D. Lavin's auto rammed his machine at the itersection of North Claudina and Center streets, and turned the car over on him. He was here Monday interviewing people who were eye-witnesses of the accident. Mr. McPhee found a number of people here who saw the accident and they generally agree in telling the story. He had a narrow escape from death, and was so seriously injured that it was necessary for him to employ a deputy to look after his important work as sealer of weights and measures. He is still limping from the injury to his left hip, and his right arm is practically useless. he is pouring into the government forces at Washington is causing consternation at the White House and in the Capitol, and in this section which has been so hard hit by President Wilson's short-sighted policies, his speech will be cheered to the echo. His talk on the bungling attitude of the administration toward Mexico will be particularly pleasing to the people of Southern California. The Hughes party will leave Los Angeles for Reno, Nevada at 10:30 Monday night. The editor of the Gazette has received a personal invitation to attend a Hughes meeting at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, on Saturday afternoon, August 19. Newspaper men will be the guests of the state central committee, and it has been arranged for Mr. Hughes to make an informal address to them at 2:30 o'clock on that date. This session will be followed by a dinner to the newspaper men of the state, provided by the central committee. at Steubenville, Ohio, and died at the age of 86. He was married in that town in 1852 to Miss Martha Rogers. He was a man of education, being a graduate of Kenyon college, Gambler, Ohio. In 1860 Mr. Hanna with his family came to California. He first engaged in the mining business at Nevada City, but shortly afterward moved to Alvarado. In 1865 he again moved, locating at Oakland, where he remained three years. It was while living at Oakland that he negotiated with H.D. Polhemus for two sections of the Stearns rancho. Mr. Polhemus afterward married his eldest daughter, Emma. Mrs. Hanna died in 1902. Eight children were born to the couple, five of whom are now living. They are Mrs. Emma M. Polhemus, who lived with her father, Harry R. Hanna, of San Marcos, Mrs. Minnie C. Wrenn of Pasadena, Mrs. George C. Hagar of Berkeley and Mrs. Newton J. Tharp of San Francisco. All four of the daughters are widowed, and all of the children were with him when he died with the exception of Mrs. Tharp. He leaves numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. One brother, Rev. D.W.Hanna of Los Angeles also survives him. In addition to his farming operations here Mr. Hanna was engaged in the real estate business at Los Angeles for some years, but finally gave it up and devoted himself entirely to his ranch. Funeral was held at St.Michael's Episcopal church at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Rev.David Todd Gillmor officiating. The house was filled with friends of the aged citizen, but the burial was private. The pallbearers were D.M.Gregory, Dr.W.M.Chambers, R.H.Hannah,R.Osborne,H.A.Dickel and J.B.Rea.

The amount of the bill was $920.33, while the June statement was $857.93. The gas consumed at the power house during July cost $60.96, making the total bill $981.29, or an average of $31.68 per day. The average for June was $31.04. What this company's bill will amount to when the winter months with their long nights come it is hard to conjecture. Many people will then burn their lights twice as long as they do now, consequently their consumption of electricity will double. When it was soliciting the trustees for a contract the Edison company's representatives promised to save the city $400 per month on its gas bill. During the year ending April 30, when the city was manufacturing its own electricity, the average cost per day was $20.55. This is an average of $11.18 lower than the cost under the Edison contract. DANGEROUS PRACTICE OF SIDEWALK SKATING VACUUM STREET CLEANER MERITS EXTOLLED CITY TRUSTEES ADOPT PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR STREET AND ALLEY PAVING HEALTH BOARD PREPARING ORDINANCE TO COMPEL PROPERTY OWNERS TO MAKE SEWER CONNECTIONS The board of trustees held an interesting session on Thursday night, when many matters of civic importance were transacted, all members being present. Mr. Baxter, of Los Angeles, addressed the board relative to a dry vacuum street cleaner, which he claims is the last word in paved street cleaning. The flushing of streets with water is dangerous to traffic, in that a fine dusty film is left upon the streets and is the real cause of many accidents during the rainy months. These dry cleaners of the mo- DANGEROUS PRACTICE OF SIDEWALK SKATING Many Complaints Made Against Allowing Kiddles on the Pavements Awheel Much complaint is being made against allowing children to skate upon the sidewalks. In several cases where sickness has befallen a family the rasping and grating sounds of the skates upon the cement walks causes extreme distress and anguish to invalids. An estimable lady living on South Olive street, who has been in feeble health has been removed to the quiet home of her daughter in Los Angeles, it being said the skating noises here caused her such annoyance as to almost produce a severe shock of nervous prostration. The skating is also said to be dangerous to pedestrians and many elderly persons will step off the sidewalks when they see the coming of the rapidly moving juvenile skaters. Complaint has been made to the city trustees about permitting skating upon sidewalks, and the matters was referred to the marshal. There is no ordinance prohibiting the skating, and the officers have said they are at a loss as to how to devise ways to stop it. The kids seem bound to skate and should they be kept off the sidewalks they would no doubt use the paved streets, and in that event multiply the danger of accidents, by having themselves injured in auto collisions, and so what are you going to do about it. ANAHEIM COUPLE WEDDED BY LOS ANGELES JUSTICE John Bandini and Miss Ruth Camp United in Marriage A romance which began on the streets of Anaheim three months ago, culminated in a marriage Thursday in Justice Summerfield's office in Los Angeles. The groom was John Bandini and the bride Miss Ruth Camp, both of this city. On a certain day were transacted, all members being present. Mr. Baxter, of Los Angeles, addressed the board relative to a dry vacuum street cleaner, which he claims is the last word in paved street cleaning. The flushing of streets with water is dangerous to traffic, in that a fine dusty film is left upon the streets and is the real cause of many accidents during the rainy months. These dry cleaners of the motor truck variety cost $4500, those horse drawn coming to $2500. The cost of dry cleaning is 10 cents per 1000 square yards, whereas it is said the water flushing method ranges from 17 cents, up, and moreover is a germ carrier. The motor vacuum cleaner will cover 200,000 square yards in eight hours, and it is computed that the present paved city streets can be thoroughly cleaned in about four hours. The dry cleaning absolutely removes all the dirt, even to the minuteness particles of dust, and leaves the thoroughfares in a sanitary condition. Many of the leading cities are installing the dry vacuum cleaners and the city trustees were asked to witness the workings of the machines in Los Angeles and Pasadena. At present the board will not invest, owing to other civic betterments demanding attention, but in all likelihood will buy the new machine when the city treasury will permit. Plans and specifications for paving South Philadelphia streets were presented and adopted and ordered placed on file in the office of the city clerk. Resolutions of intention providing for the paving of the above street were also passed and adopted. Plans and specifications for paving the alleys bounded by North Claudina and Lemon streets, and Center and Chartress, were presented and ordered filed. The paving of the alleys is to be done by private contract. Trustee Dwyer voted against the adoption of the plans for the paving of the alleys, because he maintains the same should have been subjected to a competitive bid. A number of property owners on South Philadelphia street have petitioned to have that street paved from Center to Santa Ana streets. The work will be done under the act of 1911. At present writing there appears to be no opposition to the improvement. September 14th is the date set for protest. Dr. J. W. Truxaw, of the board of ANAHEIM COUPLE WEDDED BY LOS ANGELES JUSTICE John Bandini and Miss Ruth Camp United in Marriage A romance which began on the streets of Anaheim three months ago, culminated in a marriage Thursday in Justice Summerfield's office in Los Angeles. The groom was John Bandini and the bride Miss Ruth Camp, both of this city. On a certain day some three months ago, while Mr. Bandini was motoring down West Center street his hat blew off and Miss Camp who was following in another car, ran over it. Bandini stopped to recover his battered Panama, and Miss Camp stopped to apologize. An acquaintanceship was formed and Thursday the couple motored to Los Angeles and were married. The couple returned to Anaheim and left the same evening for San Diego. Mr. Bandini was the nephew of Mrs. Arcadia De Baker, who left an estate valued at $7,000,000. His share of the estate is $500,000, and besides he inherited the share of his father, who was the brother of Mrs. De Baker. The bride is the daughter of Edgar Camp, who owns an orange orchard on the County Road. He is one of the Montana colonists, who came here recently to enjoy the salubrious climate of Southern California. This office has received a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Charles Miller, former Anaheim residents but now living at Jamestown, California, in which they request us to extend greeting to all their old friends. "We recently enjoyed a visit," say the letter, "from our old neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. William Schumacher and family. We are all enjoying good health. Remember us to all the old friends." of the alleys, because he maintains the same should have been subjected to a competitive bid. A number of property owners on South Philadelphia street have petitioned to have that street paved from Center to Santa Ana streets. The work will be done under the act of 1911. At present writing there appears to be no opposition to the improvement. September 14th is the date set for protest. Dr. J. W. Truxaw, of the board of health, addressed the trustees relative to the promiscuous throwing about of patent medicines. He displayed samples of pills and liniments picked up from his porch which had been left there by itinerant peddlers. Dr. Truxaw said should any youngster swallow the contents of the white liniment bottle, which looked like milk, it would mean death. Dr. Truxaw wanted an ordinance passed putting a stop to the practice. It appears that an ordinance is already upon the books covering these cases, but despite the fact that the lynx-eyed officers are on the alert, at times the peddlers of pills will creep in and distribute their "curealls" promiscuously. It is dangerous. Dr. Truxaw also stated that an ordinance is being prepared, demanding the elimination of all unsanitary cesspools and old fashioned outhouses. At present there are 718 sewer connections, but there yet remains about fifty places that are not as yet hooked up to the sewerage plant. Several instances of very unsanitary privies were cited as being within the heart of the town, and it is the intention of the board of health to take a fall out of them. The new ordinance will soon be passed and everybody in the city within 200 feet of a sewer line will be compelled to connect with the same or the
