NO ACTION TAKEN ON BIDS FOR: PAVING TRUSTEES WITHHOLD CONTRACT UNTIL PROPOSALS FOR INTERSECTIONS ARE RECEIVED GEORGE R. CURTIS WAS LOW BIDDER MONDAY, AGREEING TO PERFORM THE WORK FOR 10.50 It was supposed that the long drawn out contract over the paving of West Broadway would be ended by the granting of the contract Monday night but there is still a tie-up in the proceedings, final settlement of the question being postponed until the regular meeting of the trustees, Thursday, September 14. The board met in adjourned session Monday night for the purpose of considering bids submitted under a new advertisement, and found tarlum management would pay for them. MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION HOLD MEETING Employer and Employe Meet and Discuss Means to Advance Their Mutual Interests The Merchants' Association of Anaheim held an interesting and instructive meeting on Thursday evening, when many matters of importance came up for discussion. There were also present many of the employees of the mercantile establishments of this city, and much good resulted from the interchange of business ideas. The merchants of this city are progressive and their meetings are always largely attended. A. W. Smith of Los Angeles gave an expert discourse on "Salesmanship" which was full of sound advice to employees as well as employers. It has been said that a good clerk will never allow a person to leave a store, without making a purchase, even though the article especially desired had not been acquired. An efficient salesman, in other words, never allows a prospective customer to escape. Courteous treatment to customers is essential and to learn to anticipate a customer's wants is a gift of far reaching import. out contract over the paving of West Broadway would be ended by the granting of the contract Monday night but there is still a tie-up in the proceedings, final settlement of the question being postponed until the regular meeting of the trustees, Thursday, September 14. The board met in adjourned session Monday night for the purpose of considering bids submitted under a new advertisement, and found that four firms had filed bids with the city clerk. There was considerable difference between the highest and the lowest, Fairchilds-Gilmor-Wilton company, the firm that paved Center street, being the highest and George R. Curtis the lowest. The bids were: Fairchilds-Gilmore-Wilton Co. ...14.25 Ed Ralph ...12.99 L. A. Paving Co. ...11.24 Geo. R. Curtis ...10.50 After discussing the matter the board decided to take no further action until Thursday, Sept. 14, at which time the bids for the intersections will be opened. It was argued that it would be more convenient for all concerned if both contracts could be given to one firm. George R. Curtis, whose bid was the lowest is the man who submitted the lowest bid on April 13, when Mr. Werdin halted all proceedings by declaring that the resolution of intention had not been printed in accordance with law. Curtis' bid at that time was 10.75 for both East and West Broadway. When bids were again opened on July 13, Mr. Curtis' figure was 11 cents for both sides, and two others were below him, the L. A. Paving company agreeing to do the work for 10.74 and the S. C. Contracting company for 10.68. The board, before awarding the contract, appointed Street Superintendent Sackett and City Engineer Steward a committee of two to investigate the S. C. Contracting company and report upon its reliability. The committee gave such an unsatisfactory report that the contract was awarded to E. R. Werdin of the L. A. Paving company. Property owners on West Broadway however, were not satisfied with this Mrs. Cynthia Markle, who owns property at the corner of Citron and Broadway, filed an injunction suit in superior court, restraining the street superintendent from signing the contract on the ground that it was not awarded to the lowest bidder. expert discourse on "Salesmanship" which was full of sound advice to employees as well as employers. It has been said that a good clerk will never allow a person to leave a store, without making a purchase, even though the article especially desired had not been acquired. An efficient salesman, in other words, never allows a prospective customer to escape. Courteous treatment to customers is essential and to learn to anticipate a customer's wants is a gift of far reaching importance. It has been said a woman will traverse several blocks to make a purchase at a store where she has been accorded courteous treatment in the past, meanwhile passing several stores nearer her home, wherein the same article desired may have been bought. That is attributable to efficiency upon the part of the salesman. It is a good habit to acquire. Short talks were made by local merchants dealing with their calling, and Capt. J. F. Ahlborn made one of his interesting speeches upon the advisability of developing an efficient salesman out of the embryo employe. DECLINE-TO-STATE'S GIVEN THE LAW Some of Them Supposed They Could Vote a Partisan Ticket at Tuesday's Election, but Found They Couldn't Deputy County Clerk Joe Backs was in town on Monday afternoon issuing final instructions to members of election boards for Tuesday's primaries. County Clerk Williams found it necessary to instruct election boards in various parts of the county in relation to the use of decline to state ballots, and despatched Deputy Backs on a hurry call to several precincts where the law seems not to have been thoroughly understood. Backs informed election officers at Garden Grove and at other points in this portion of the county that voters who declined to state their political affiliations could not procure ballots except those provided for decline-to-staters. While provisions of the primary law have been made plain to voters throughout the county, a number of voters were of opinion that, despite the fact that they had declined to give their political affiliations, they could vote a parisan ticket, as they had done at the committee gave such an unsatisfactory report that the contract was awarded to E. R. Werdin of the L. A. Paving company. Property owners on West Broadway however, were not satisfied with this. Mrs. Cynthia Markle, who owns property at the corner of Citron and Broadway, filed an injunction suit in superior court, restraining the street superintendent from signing the contract on the ground that it was not awarded to the lowest bidder. The injunction was sustained by Judge West and the matter was thrown into court, whereupon Mr. Werdin cleared the atmosphere by refusing to qualify for the contract and it was necessary to re-advertise. P. N. Snyder of the S. C. Contracting company did not submit a bid on Monday night, but Curtis' bid was a fraction lower than Snyder's former bid. The surface to be paved on West Broadway aside from the intersections, is 327,450 square feet. According to this the total cost under Mr. Werdin's first bid would be $35,176, under the second $36,839. The cost under Snyder's bid would be $34,980 and under Curtis' $34,382. Bids for paving the intersection will be opened on Thursday evening, Sept. 14, and both contracts will be let at that time. The question of a quiet zone around the sanitarium was introduced by Trustee Dwyer, who said he had been requested to call the board's attention to it by persons who had been patients at that institution. The automobiles and motorcycles, he said, made a noise that was harrowing to the slick and nervous. After discussing the matter it was decided to put up, within a block of the building, signs that could be read by day and lights that could be read by night, warning drivers against making unnecessary noises, provided the sani- PROBABLY A ZEPPELIN A wonderful phenomena was witnessed Sunday night and early Monday morning by Prof. C. D. Chamberlain of the high school faculty and his wife of Santa Ana. At 10 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain watched a disappearing star in the eastern sky for half an hour, during which time the orb disappeared fourteen times. The star was very large. At 4 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain again watched the queer antics of the star, which was then directly overhead in a perfectly clear sky. It was surrounded by small filmy images on every side. Mrs. T. E. Harper of Santa Ana and Mrs. Davis of El Modena also saw the phenomenon. Some days ago an article appeared in the daily papers stating that Russian soldiers had been watching the star.

W. Dungan of Garden Grove and Dr. Lee C. Deming of the Stanton-Buena Park section were unanimously endorsed for trustees of the United Storm Water District at the board of trade meeting Monday night. The election is to be held on September 12. These gentlemen are on record as favoring the formation of the storm water district. There may be other candidates for the office, but as yet no names have been mentioned. company's plan to maintain a perpetual care cemetery here. It is proposed to acquire a site adjoining the present cemetery for the purpose. The old cemetery as now maintained has come in for much adverse criticism. Mr. Darling's plan appealed to many present and a committee, consisting of Messrs. Gresswell, Gibbs and Mills, was appointed to investigate and report. The names of J. N. Rushton, Union Oil company, J. Jackson, E. C. Cunningham and W. J. Barfoot were presented for membership and accepted. The committee appointed to investigate the establishment of public lavatories, conveniently located, were given further time. The chair requested that a report be handed in at the next meeting. Chairman Noll gave some good advice regarding the acquisition of new members. At present there are about 125 belonging to the board of trade, and Chairman Noll has a scheme to raise the membership to at least 300. The annual dues will be $5 and if all paid up regularly that would give the board of trade $1500, which would be ample for all needs. Mr. Noll's hobby is "membership" and he desires that every member exert his best efforts to acquire at least one new recruit within the next sixty days.

Deming of the Stanton-Buena Park section were unanimously endorsed for trustees of the United Storm Water District at the board of trade meeting Monday night. The election is to be held on September 12. These gentlemen are on record as favoring the formation of the storm water district. There may be other candidates for the office, but as yet no names have been mentioned. Opponents to the district no doubt, will have a ticket in the field, but up to the present time no candidates have been announced. F. N. Gibbs, chairman of the river protection committee, submitted a report, briefly stating what the committee had done in preparing the preliminary steps leading up to the formation of the district. The channel is to be 1100 feet wide and 9 3-4 miles long, extending from the Yorba bridge to the Newbert district. Pilings are to be driven along the dike and willows are to be planted to further strengthen the embankment. It is proposed to build the dike 50 feet wide at the bottom and 20 feet wide on top which will be graded and oiled and turned over to the county for road purposes. The supervisors have agreed to accept it as a public highway and have said they will maintain it as such. The committee estimates the entire cost of building the dike to be $125,000, which approximately is $2 per acre. Only real estate and railroad equipment can be assessed. Besides the committee of seven, who have zealously worked in the past for the formation of the district, and who have been ordered continued, a list of about 80 citizens of this city were named to act in conjunction with them and admonished to give their best efforts to bring the district to a successful termination. The report made especial mention of the good work performed by Engineer O. E. Steward in perfecting plans for construction of the dike. The campaign committee consists of the following: J. A. McCullock, C. O. Rust, Wm. Stark, Henry Adams, A. A. Mills, J. Frank Ahlborn, W. B. Allen, W. T. Alling, F. C. Krause, F. M. Edenher, Henry Kuchel, C. E. Holcomb, M. E. Beebe, W. M. Wickett, R. F.

At present there are about 125 belonging to the board of trade, and Chairman Noll has a scheme to raise the membership to at least 300. The annual dues will be $5 and if all paid up regularly that would give the board of trade $1500, which would be ample for all needs. Mr. Noll's hobby is "membership" and he desires that every member exert his best efforts to acquire at least one new recruit within the next sixty days. Secretary Duckworth reported collections amounting to $30, making a total in the treasury of $70.04. In a discussion of the wretched condition of the Olive bridge, A. W. Wood stated that the rebuilding of the approaches to the bridge was up to the highway commission. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Mills a committee was appointed to at once interview the highway commission and ascertain if it were possible to use the left-over sum in their treasury to rebuild the Olive bridge and approaches. The idea is a very good one, as the bridge is one of the most important in the county. Much complaint has been made regarding the unfinished state of affairs now existing at the Olive crossing, and a "cowpath" has been created there for accommodation of travelers. It was stated on Monday evening at least fifty autos were lined up on the west side awaiting to get across. Much trade it is claimed is being diverted from this city on account of having no adequate passageway over the river at Olive crossing. Postmaster Ahlborn made the statement that owing to the fact that the Olive and Yorba bridges have been washed out and still remain unpaired, may be the means of re-routing mail delivery to those points. Up to the present time mail has been carried from the Anaheim postoffice, under much difficulty, since the washouts and during the high water last January, and in all probability new mail routes will be established affecting the Olive and Yorba sections, Mr. Ahlborn said, unless immediate relief is given. A committee consisting of Messrs. Gibbs, Steward and Mills was appointed to interview the highway commission and use their best efforts to secure aid from them looking to the re-building of the Olive bridge and western approach. After discussion it was decided to hold the Thursday luncheons at the Valencia Cafe during September and members. At present there are about 125 belonging to the board of trade, and Chairman Noll has a scheme to raise the membership to at least 300.

A speaker at the board of trade meeting said back in his home town great enthusiasm was cerated in their local organization by getting up luncheons and choosing a new chairman for each meeting who in turn was held responsible for the success of the gathering.After being notified of his appointment,the chairman was required to secure the services of some good speaker for the occasion,and otherwise arrange the entertainment program.In that way a keen local interest was created in the civic circles.The chairman would try to outdo his predecessor,and as a result large numbers of citizens would gather around the festive board and listen to the good things said about the town.The speaker said he did not see any reason why the same thing could not be carried out in this city He said during his brief stay here he had not as yet encountered a knocker,and he believed Anaheim was one of the best towns on the coast His home town board of trade jumped from 150 to ten times that number in a short while,and he was firm in his belief the same record could be equalled here.

The society is making preparations to hold a volksfest and barbecue at Columbia Gardens on Labor day, Monday, September 4. The word barbecue means "eats," so does volksfest, and the committee on arrangements promises that no guest will have cause to complain of the entertainment on that score. There will be a program of amusements also, which will include singing, dancing, games of all kinds for men, ladies and children, also contests. The Concordia will sing, of course, which is sufficient assurance that the musical part of the program will be excellent. The festivities will begin at 11 o'clock, a.m., and free busses will run to the gardens from the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets every fifteen minutes. Labor day is a holiday, and if you want to spend it in an enjoyable manner go out to the gardens, listen to the music, and eat barbecued meats with the Concordia. The best cooks in Anaheim will have DISTRICT MAY BE FORMED TO SET BUILDINGS BACK CITY TRUSTEES FIX TAX LEVY FOR ENSUING YEAR AT $1.45 ON THE $100 TRUSTEE DWYER ADVOCATES MAKING ALL LIQUOR LICENSES $100 PER MONTH The city trustees held an interesting session on Thursday night, when they discussed the propriety of forming a district, providing for the moving back of buildings on Center between Los Angeles and Lemon streets. The tax rate for the ensuing year was fixed at $1.45 on the $100, and in all probability the liquor licenses will be raised to $100 per month. Many other matters came up for consideration and discussion. There were present Mayor Schneider, Trustees Stark, Brunworth and Dwyer.

SEWERAGE WATER BEING EAGERLY SOUGHT AFTER Anaheim Farm Being Efficiently Managed and Many Orchardists Using Overflow Encouraging reports come from the management of the city sewer farm, and where the water is used for irrigation upon some of the sandy stretches of land the transformation scenes are wonderful. Prolific growth is everywhere to be seen, and some young orange orchards, which, before the sewerage water was used, showed a backwardness, now take on new life and a healthfulness that is good to look upon since the advent of irrigation from the plant's reservoirs. The former antipathy to the farm is fast disappearing, and many neighbors who formerly scorned the use of the water for irrigation are now anxious to receive it. It is said one gentleman has easily doubled the value of his orchard by the use of the stream, gained through fertilization. The city receives no revenue from the water, being at present and in the past anxious to have people take the water off their hands, but it is not a bad guess to say in a short while the demand will so increase that perhaps the city will feel itself constrained to make a charge for its delivery. At present about 12 inches of water is constantly flowing into the irrigation ditches, but as the city grows the supply will be increased. MAKING ORANGE JUICE The advertising department of the California Fruit Growers Exchange recently made a report to its board of directors regarding the business in orange juice being transacted in various section of the east and the posi-tibility on Thursday night, when they discussed the propriety of forming a district, providing for the moving back of buildings on Center between Los Angeles and Lemon streets. The tax rate for the ensuing year was fixed at $1.45 on the $100, and in all probability the liquor licenses will be raised to $100 per month. Many other matters came up for consideration and discussion. There were present Mayor Schneider, Trustees Stark, Brunworth and Dwyer. Absent Trustee Cook. Attorney Ames was present. City Clerk Merritt read the minutes of the previous meeting, which were ordered corrected, the first time in many months. In writing up his minutes, the clerk inserted too many of the paragraphs of the resolutions providing for paving West Broadway and upon advice of Attorney Ames, that portion, which did not appear in the original resolution, was ordered stricken out. City Clerk Merritt submitted figures for the assessment roll for the year 1916-17 and the previous year of 1915-16, as follows: 1916-17 assessment roll ...$2,164,045 1915-16 assessment roll ...2,097,265 Increase 1916-17 ...$64,780 Figures for operative property, consisting of gas, telephone, telegraph, railroad, banking real estate, fixtures, ets., are as follows: 1916-17 ...$209,845 1915-16 ...201,930 Increase 1916-17 ...$7,915 The finance committee reported auditing bills against the city in the amount of $713.14, for which warrants were ordered drawn. Mrs. N. H. Mitchell of Long Beach addressed the board in reference to the moving back of her Center street property to comply to the new street line, with a view of having a district formed and a commission appointed to assess benefits and damages for the setting back of buildings in the Center street block, between Los Angeles and Lemon streets. Several years ago Mrs. Mitchell gave, without cost, nine feet for the widening of the alley off Los Angeles street, while a neighbor alongside received $1000 for his share and had his dwelling moved besides. Now it is proposed to take eight feet from her Center street line for which she claims that she should be reimbursed. The total of seventeen feet taken from her property... MAKING ORANGE JUICE The advertising department of the California Fruit Growers Exchange recently made a report to its board of directors regarding the business in orange juice being transacted in various sections of the east and the possibilities which this business offers in development and important outlet for California oranges. The largest manufactures of orange juice use only California oranges, although they have experimented with fruit from all sources. It is claimed by men prominent in the business that this is because no other juice can be diluted without great loss of flavor and because California oranges give the juice more body and improved color. The formula in general use in the east is as follows: 1 gallon orange juice, 3 gallons water, 1 quart lemon juice, sugar to taste. Commercial orange juice, therefore, opens a new outlet not only for California oranges but for lemons as well. Most companies use a surprisingly high grade fruit—particularly Sunkist, and some of the stores operate throughout the year. There are two methods of preparing the juice. In the first the entire fruit is crushed. In the second the peel is removed by hand before the pulp is pressed. Most manufacturers believe that the oil from the peel improves the flavor. Mrs. H. P. Noll is visiting friends back east, and during her absence Herman is so lonesome that he spends a goodly portion of his time mingling with society at the beaches. Some of the things seen on the sands are worth looking at, and have a stimulating effect on a lonesome man. Center street block, between Los Angeles and Lemon streets. Several years ago Mrs. Mitchell gave, without cost, nine feet for the widening of the alley off Los Angeles street, while a neighbor alongside received $1000 for his share and had his dwelling moved besides. Now it is proposed to take eight feet from her Center street line for which she claims that she should be reimbursed. The total of seventeen feet taken from her property would command a monthly rental of $50. Mrs. Mitchell said were her property located in the center of the block she would consider moving back of the same a benefit, but since her property is at the corner of the two best streets in town, she maintains she should be paid for the eight-foot strip proposed to be lopped off. Members of the board argued that other property owners in the block have moved back without pay, while in other parts of the city streets have been widened voluntarily and without price, to meet the city demands for public improvements. Mrs. Mitchell did not believe the cases were to be classed as being identical. The trustees are to take the matter up for investigation and will probably take some action in the near future. The city has the power to form the district, taking in the block in question, and more if so desired, and to then appoint a commission to assess benefits and damages. It is understood that several owners in the block are holding back for just such a move on the part of the city, claiming that to move their buildings and give the eight feet for sidewalk purposes would entail a loss. The matter was referred to the committee on public improvements. An ordinance prohibiting police officers from entering places where liquor is sold, while on duty, was presented for first reading. The ordinance regarding the taking of liquor into restaurants for consum-
