NOVEMBER 28, 1885
The Board of Town trustees met in special session on last Saturday. Present, a full Board.
The President stated that he had called the meeting for the purpose of taking up the matter of the License Ordinance passed on October 7th. No ordinance could be legally passed without having received the votes of a majority of the members of the Board, and as only two votes were recorded in the affirmative on the question of the passage of the ordinance, it was void.
Thereupon the license ordinance was introduced, to be voted upon at the next regular meeting. The ordinance provides among other things that the license for a circus shall be $25 per day, theatrical entertainment $1, peddlers by wagon, $2.50 per quarter, auctioneers, $2.50 per annum.
The clerk was instructed to look up the law relating to the overcrowding of Chinese in tenements, it being the intention of the Board to pass a cubic law ordinance in response to complaints which have been made by persons residing contiguous to the Chinese quarters. The Board also decided to enforce the cleaning of the cess-

Congressman Markham will endeavor to secure an appropriation for the improvement of Newport harbor. Many less meritorious appropriations could be made. It is a harbor which could be made very useful to all this southern country.
F. H. Keith report having made the following sales of land in the Olden tract: Lot No. 4, 23 acres to Austin Munger at $70 per acre; Lot No. 5, 27 acres to Austin Munger at $70 per acre; Lot No. 14, 20 acres to J. W. Jinks at $50 per acre. The purchasers, recently arrived from Iowa, and will immediately make substantial improvements. Their example will be followed by six or seven of their neighbors and Mr. Keith believes that he will close out the entire tract to them shortly. The country needs such men to develop its resources, and we extend them a hearty welcome.
Mr. John Nelson is building some cottages at Garden Grove, to accommodate the families who are attracted to that pretty and productive part of the country.
The building was a frame edifice with concrete facing, two stories and basement. It was built four years ago at a cost of $45,000. The fire started in the furnace room of the basement. There are rumors that the fire was if incendiary origin. Prof. Brunet principal of the school rushed into the burning building and saved some of his books and some of his property belonging to him. Mr. Lena Ingraham, teacher of drawing suffered a serious loss in the burning of her notes and drawings, the accumulation of years.
Eleven teachers were employed in the building and 150 students were enrolled.
The trustees of the district which includes Fullerton, Bueh Park, Orangethorpe, La Habla Placentia and Olinda met Friday and determined to continue school in the new polytechnic building and in tents to be erected upon the site of the destroyed edifice.
Harvey Herrick who won Los Angeles-Phoenix auto race at the Kissel Kar is a former resident of this city. Harry showed off opponents a thing or two while making a detour of several miles from the pathway, he reached
It used to be a favorite saying that no matter how long the rain held off it would always find somebody's hay in the field. But the adage must be amended now so as to substitute the word "raisins" for "hay". Raisin drying will continue as long as there is least prospect for a bit of warm sunshine and rain is almost certain to catch the tail end of the crop. The signal service warned McPherson Bros. the other day of a coming storm, and a force of men were put to work to cover the half cured raisins with shakes. The supply of shakes giving cut, a call was made upon Saxton & Cox at 9 o'clock at night for a large quantity. It is only in California that an exigency can arise which compels a lumber dealer to fill an order for lumber in the middle of the night.
The suit to condemn the right of way through the Yorba settlement for the Anaheim ditch was set for last Wednesday, but was continued to enable the plaintiffs to amend their complaint. A faulty abstract of tile misled the plaintiffs attorney, and several owners of land, through which the new ditch will pass, were not named as defendants.
The Sigle excursion party, numbering over 200, arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and the Warner excursion party numbering 130 persons arrived on Wednesday. The hotels of the city are full to overflowing, and the stranger in search of a lodging house has to put aside any fastidiousness he may have.
Among the Raymond excursionists sarriving Tuesday were Mis Fannie L. Smith and Miss Mary A. Smith of Jewett City, Connecticut. They are sisters of A. Guy and S. B. Smith and will pass the lieves that he will close out the entire tract to them shortly. The country needs such men to develop its resources, and we extend them a hearty welcome.

The roof of the pavilion adjoining the hotel at Long Beach was blown off by the gale on Tuesday night. The wharf was uninjured.
Our thanks are due to Mr. T. J. House for a watermelon which proved a toothsome addition to the editorial Thanksgiving dinner.

Harvey Herrick who won the Los Angeles-Phoenix auto race at the Kissel Kar is a former resident of this city. Harry showed him opponents a thing or two while making a detour of several miles from the pathway, he reached the railroad and rode a distance forty miles on the rails. At late accounts the judges were going to show Harvey a thing or two about the rules requiring drivers to keep to the mapped out course.

The Los Angeles Market is supplied with game mainly by Messrs. Mc Lean, Wallace and Vest, who range about the country southwest of town. They find game scarcer this year than last when ducks were especially plentiful. Last hunting season each of the gentlemen named netted $75 a month. In the summer these men work assiduously at developing a mining claim, of which they have great expectations. The mine is situated back of "Old Baldy" and is almost inaccessible. Their work has been profitable heretofore and chunks of free gold yielding from $40 to $120 are finds of quite frequent occurrence.
Mr. George B. Griffin is one of the Democratic nominees for member of the Los Angeles City Board of Education. Mr. Griffin is a gentleman of scholarly attainments and progressive ideas. His election cannot fail to be beneficial to the public school system of the city.

WHAT OTHERS THINK
WHAT'S IN A MIDDLE NAME?
The thing that is going to beat Franklin Delano Roosevelt a year from November is that Delano. Only one man with a middle name has ever been re-elected to the Presidency. Ulysses Simpson Grant survived his handicap, but Herbert Clark Hoover couldn't nor could Warren Gamaliel Harding, James Knox Polk, John Quinney Adams, Rutherford Birchard Hayes, William Howard Taft and the others.
John Calvin Coolidge and Thomas Woodrow Wilson beat the game by dropping their first names. Perhaps some of the others did also, but the two-term Presidents appear in the records as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, James Madison and James Monroe.
So get down a bet now that Franklin Delano Roosevelt will not be re-elected. The odds should be better than ten to one.—Letter to New York Herald-Tribune.

especially by the federal government, confront us. Before long,
judging by federal expenditures
and mounting debts, we may have
to toll three days a week to keep
taxleviers going. History reveals
that powerful nations have invariably been runied by mounting tax burdens. No nation ever spent as much money as America is spending today to maintain its federal and local governments.
How much further can we go into debt, how much further can we go in governmental expenditures, without inviting ruinous hardships?"—Forbes Magazine.
