Mounting Expenses of Colony Cause Sharp Dissention Among Original Shareholders Assessments From $50 Up Per Month On Each Share of Stock Some Hard-pressed Shareholders Dubious of Increasing Capitalization; Majority Votes for $80,000 Corporation Colonizing "Annaheim," like all human adventures since the dawn of history, brought forth many problems into which considerable animosity arose between certain members of the organization. In this instance, the various shareholders living in San Francisco—and the great majority of them did—were 500 miles away from the project and yet were attempting through their board of directors and general meetings to successfully prepare the 1100 acres bought from Don Pavilico Ontiveras for immediate habitation. As pointed out previously, the expenses were considerably more than the shareholders anticipated, which brought caustic remarks and some dissension, resulting in the directors asking Manager George Hansen to appear at the general meeting and explaining the problems. Capitalization of the colony had been raised several times. From $60,000 the shareholders now were asked to raise it to $80,000. Assessments for several months had been heavy, and now on August 1 the shareholders were to pay $50 per share. On July 27 the directors received a letter from Manager Hansen asking for $3,000. The directors hesitated to act on the request, so decided to hold it over until the general meeting on August 1. And at the general meeting on that date, when the capitalization was raised to $80,000, the directors voted an additional authorization to assess $100 per share. However at the directors' meeting they decided to call for $70 per share, payable September 8, and call a special stockholder's meeting to increase the capital stock to $92,000 in order to equalize and make proper adjustments relative to valuations of lots, some of which were placed as high as $1,840. On September 9, the directors voted to ask for assessment No. 17, of $60 per share, payable October 8. Minutes of last meeting read and approved. Quarterly report of Manager received, read, and referred to auditing committee. Bill from A. Langerberger and company for $216,70 ordered paid. $1,000.00 ordered paid to Manager Hansen and Mr. Hansen asked to draw on the sub-treasurer, Mr. Bachmann, in Los Angeles for the rest of his demand, $367.15. Secretary was instructed to write Mr. Bachmann and ask him to send his quarterly report as soon as possible. No further business being before the board, meeting adjourned. John Fischer, Secretary. San Francisco, Calif., June 20, 1859. The regular semi-annual meeting of stockholders was opened at 8 p.m. by President C. C. Kuchel, 43 shares being represented. The minutes of the last adjourned stockholders meeting. February 28th, were read and accepted. Reports of secretary and treasurer read and referred to auditing committee. Propositions from Mr. Cramer were read and after lively debate for and against the division of the property, and giving possession to stockholders, after the $60,000 has been spent, which will be August 1st it was finally voted on, and carried, to again raise the capital stock to $80,000.00 and secretary instructed to call a special stockholders meeting for August 1st to take legal action on the matter. Then followed the nomination of new officers for the remaining time of the society's existence. For president: Mr. Kuchel and Mr. Schmidt. ING on that date, when the capitalization was raised to $80,000, the directors voted an additional authorization to assess $100 per share. However at the directors' meeting they decided to call for $70 per share, payable September 8, and call a special stockholders' meeting to increase the capital stock to $92,000 in order to equalize and make proper adjustments relative to valuations of lots, some of which were placed as high as $1,840. On September 9, the directors voted to ask for assessment No. 17, of $60 per share, payable October 8. At the same time the directors decided to recommend that grape vines, then in nurseries, be distributed to lots valued under $1,000, before the drawing of lots would take place.

It will increase deficiency judgments by making them automatic if sale bid does not cover all charges including attorneys' fees. The pretended protection of the right to redeem is destroyed by compelling the owner to pay rent or be dispossessed in the event of foreclosure. It will increase foreclosures by making renewals and new loans difficult and costly. The rights of borrower and lender will be clouded by the many confusing provisions of the measure.

"WELL, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?" The Challenge To the fair-minded, square-dealing, neighborly people of California, Enthroned Monopoly asks the question. The voters of the State will furnish the answer on November 8. The Issue At Huntington Beach is one close to the hearts of Californians. The people should own the beaches, but at Huntington Beach an international oil corporation, in the enjoyment of monopoly, straddles a strip of beach like a giant spider, sucking up and consuming the natural wealth which rightfully belongs to city and State. Amendment No. 11 on the ballot grants to Huntington Beach the same rights reserved to other coastal cities of California, and affects only that strip of beach already claimed for oil production by private monopoly. The Effect Of the adoption of Amendment No. 11 will be to permit Huntington Beach and the State of California to share in the profits from the people's oil now being drained for the benefit of private monopoly through the drilling of offset wells, and thus materially reduce taxes for city and State. A Small Town Is fighting for its rights against a great corporation and makes its neighborhood appear that you vote YES on Eleven. Huntington Beach Improvement Association
