SANDBED STRUCK BY BROADWAY PAVERS CONTRACTOR CURTIS GIVEN PERMISSION TO EXCAVATE IT AND SUBSTITUTE DIRT $750 APPROPRIATED FOR NEW FURNACE AND FURNITURE AT THE PUBLIC LIBRARY George E. Curtis, the contractor has discovered a bed of extraordinary good building sand during his grading work in paving West Broadway. The bed is 18 in. deep and 200 feet long, and it is worth considerable more money than ordinary dirt, consequently he appeared before the trustees Friday night and asked permission to remove the sand and replace it with dirt. He explained that both the city and himself would benefit, as the dirt would give a better foundation for the paving and he would get a profit out of the sand. Permission to excavate it was granted. J. D. Lavin, representing the library board, accompanied by Mr. McFadden of Santa Ana, was in attendance and asked the trustees for an additional appropriation for a furnace at the library. At the last meeting $500 was voted to the library, $350 of which was for the purchase of a furnace and the balance for furniture. It was found that this was not sufficient money to purchase a furnace that would be useful, $635 being the cost of one that would meet the needs. After hearing Mr. Lavin's explanation the board made: Paid by warrants ... $102.50 Balance ... $582.28 Improvement Fund 3 On Hand ... $283.50 Paid out ... 54.00 Balance ... $229.50 Electric Light Fund On hand ... $185.93 Paid out ... 180.54 Balance ... $5.39 Sewer Construction Fund On hand ... $1968.75 Paid by warrants ... 1062.50 Balance ... $906.25 Summary General fund ... $15516.39 Library ... 582.28 Electric light No. 6 ... 5.34 Fire apparatus bond ... 219.64 Fire apparatus, No. 8 ... 194.25 Sewer construction, No. 7 ... 906.25 Improvement No. 3 ... 229.50 Drinking fountain ... 500.00 Total in treasury ... $18053.70 Rate Collector Collected for light ... $2346.25 Collected for water ... 1508.55 Total ... $3854.80 Delinquents Collected For light ... $73.75 For water ... 181.70 Penalties ... 13.05 Total ... $268.50 Delinquents Reported For light ... $95.20 For water ... 170.25 Total ... $265.45 AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS NUMEROUS IN COUNTY One Smash-Up for Each Seventy-six board, accompanied by Mr. McFadden of Santa Ana, was in attendance and asked the trustees for an additional appropriation for a furnace at the library. At the last meeting $500 was voted to the library, $350 of which was for the purchase of a furnace and the balance for furniture. It was found that this was not sufficient money to purchase a furnace that would be useful, $635 being the cost of one that would meet the needs. After hearing Mr. Lavin's explanation the board gave him $250 more, which will enable the library trustees to install a suitable furnace and purchase $115 worth of additional furniture. A bill presented by City Attorney Ames for services rendered caused considerable discussion. Mr. Ames charged $25 for preparing papers and carrying a certain matter before a state board. Mr. Ames claimed that the work he performed was the same as carrying a case into court and under the ordinance he was entitled to additional fees. The trustees finally allowed the bill, but instructed the ordinance committee to amend the ordinance. A petition was received from Miss E. Kate Rea, asking that a rest room, toilet and lavatory for ladies be established in the basement of the library building with a side door opening into it. Members of the board favored the plan, but it was referred to the public improvements committee for a report on the probable cost. A communication from the board of trade asking for free illumination for the carnival next week and a cancellation of the license tax was laid on the table without action. Property owners on Steuchle avenue petitioned for lights on that thoroughfare with one at the corner of Steuchle and Lemon. The request was granted, the city electrician being instructed to install as many as were necessary. John T. Dickman of Los Angeles is anxious to put in a shooting gallery in Aanheim, but thinks $3 per day is too severe a license tax for a permanent business. A communication from him was received and the clerk was instructed to notify him to come down and confer with the officers. It is understood that he expects to establish his business in Dr. Houck's building, east of the postoffice. A. G.

In proportion to the number of automobiles in the county, Orange county has more automobile accidents than fifty-eight counties of the state. During July, August and September, there was one automobile smash-up for every 76.2 automobiles in Orange county. That record is based entirely upon automobile accidents reports of which got into the newspapers. Only three counties in the state—San Francisco with 139, Los Angeles with 276 and Alameda with 124—had more accidents than Orange county. It is stated that of seventy-one motor accidents in Orange county during July, August and September, thirty-three were due to the fault of the operator and eighteen to speeding. The reports, which are from a table given by H. A. French, superintendent of the motor vehicle department of California, do not state to what cause the remaining twenty accidents in this county were due. A large proportion of the automobiles that were concerned in the seventy-one accidents that occurred in this county in July, August and September were automobiles from outside Orange county. Among the counties with a high percentage of accidents in relation to the number of automobiles in the county is San Mateo county, which also had outside automobiles furnishing a large share of the smashups. Another county with a high percentage is Trinity county. Trinity county has only fifty-seven automobiles in it, and it had just one accident. Mariposa county's record is also high, but Mariposa has only 133 automobiles, and it had two accidents during the summer. There are nine counties, Alpine, Del Norte, Glenn, Humboldt, Lassen, Mono, Sierra, Tehama and Tuolumme, that furnished not a single automobile accident that got into the papers.

Langenberger submitted a letter stating that he was ready to put in curbing along his property on Sycamore street in accordance with a city ordinance as soon as the Union Water company removed its open ditch and put down a pipe. The ditch is in the way and it is impossible for him to curb, he says, until it is removed. Building permits were granted as follows: To J. Byer a frame building on Helena street, costing $100. To the German M. E. church, a frame building on West Broadway, costing $25. To the S. P. Railroad, a frame building on Los Angeles street, cost $1000. This is for the Crawford Marmalade factory.

This excessive shedding of young fruit has caused much concern to citrus growers in the interior valleys of California. That a fungus of the genus Alternaria is the cause is the theory advanced in the September issue of the Journal of agriculture by J. Elliot Colt, professor of citriculture, and R. W. Hodgson, a graduate of this year of the college of agriculture. The infection occurs in the blossom end. It is more serious in the interior districts than in coast regions because in regions of heat and low humidity the extreme transpiration of moisture by the foliage brings about a daily reversal of the sap current, which sucks the poison produced by the fungus back through the joint of the stem, causing it to weaken and break. It is now suspected also that this same fungus is responsible for a considerable proportion of the "splits" occurring in the interior valleys. ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19 1916 FORM A DISTRICT FOR OVERFLOW CONTROL YORBA-RICHFIELD PEOPLE RE-FUSE TO AWAIT ACTION OF COURT AND ARE WORKING INDEPENDENTLY ALREADY CONSIDERABLE WATER IN RIVER AND RESIDENTS FEAR ANOTHER OVERFLOW At a mass meeting held at the Richfield school hall on Tuesday night, the Richfield-Yorba River Protection District was formed. A conference was held at the old Yorba bridge site on Tuesday morning, by the residents of this district, and the board of supervisors, trustees of the United Storm Water District and surveyors, with the result that the said mass meeting was called, to be held at Richfield. The United Storm Water District trustees are prevented from doing any river protection work for the reason that the legality of the formation of that district is to be decided by the courts, which will necessitate so much delay that nothing can be done by them in time for protection from the storm water of the coming rainy season. The residents of the Richfield-Yorba district have, during the past season, made a thorough investigation of the condition of the river, and they are of the unanimous opinion that in order to protect their property and homes, something must be done at once, in on the Yorba grade and the temporary work done on 'River protection' from the work and money donated by the property owners and the County of Orange, for the purpose of protecting the overflow of the Santa Ana river between the Yorba Grade and the Santa Fe bridge, will be under the supervision of Orange county and the trustees of the United Storm Water District.

Weaver, Wanted Here for Forgery and Thief in the Tolls A letter received Thursday by Marshal Sam Jernigan of Santa Ana from Chief of Police Charles Lenz, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, indicates that Irvin H. Weaver, who is badly wanted in this county on two charges, one for embezzlement and the other for forgery, is under arrest in the eastern city. The crimes alleged to have been committed by Weaver in this county date back to the first of June. He was employed by Charles Davis, a garage man, who befriended him knowing that Weaver was on parole from San Quentin prison. Weaver embezzled an Auburn automobile valued at $1210 from Davis which he sold to Attorney E. J. Marks, of Fullerton, receiving $550 in cash and an old machine. Weaver left this section of the country with the money, but the old automobile was recovered. The forgery charge against Weaver was filed after he had forged the name of Finley H. Houck, of Anaheim.

Amateur and open golf champion—Charles Evans of Illinois. that district is to be decided by the courts, which will necessitate so much delay that nothing can be done by them in time for protection from the storm water of the coming rainy season. The residents of the Richfield-Yorba district have, during the past season, made a thorough investigation of the condition of the river, and they are of the unanimous opinion that in order to protect their property and homes, something must be done at once, in the way of protection work. At the present time there is considerable water in the river, and with a rise of from one to two feet, there are places where the water will overflow and cause serious damage, not only to this district, but to all property lying in the old valley of the Santa Ana river, running west and north of Anaheim. On account of these conditions, the Richfield-Yorba district has been formed, and an assessment per acre is to be levied to secure enough money and labor to grade the road between the Santa Fe railroad and the old Yorba bridge site, and protect it with 22-foot piling, wired, and also protect all weak places in the river from the Yorba bridge to the Santa Fe railroad bridge at Olive. This work is to be done under the supervision of the United Storm Water District trustees and their engineers. R. J. Scott, C. F. Collins and B. M. Yorba were elected trustees with full power to formulate plans and make arrangements to begin work at an early date. Another mass meeting will be held later, and every property owner in the district will be expected to be present, at which meeting bids and contracts for the work to be done will be considered. The following official letter was received from the United Storm Water District trustees: "Oct. 9th, 1916.
