The Board of Town Trustees met on last Monday and an ordinance was introduced making the tax levy seventy cents on the hundred dollars. Mr. Ey voting against that rate. On Wednesday the Board met in regular session and adopted the ordinances published in another part of today's paper.
The chairman of the committee of Public Improvements was directed to confer with directors of the water company concerning certain ditches.
The clerk was directed to notify owners of lots on which are dangerous excavations that the lots must be fenced before September 1st.
The communication of J. Backs calling the attention of the Board to the storage of hay in the heart of town was referred to the town clerk with instructions to see whether there was an ordinance against such practices and if so to notify the marshal.
It will be observed of the proceedings of the Town Trustees that the tax rate for the coming year was fixed at 70 cents on the $100. This was the lowest rate that could be fixed and carry out the contemplated improvements. Those who are disposed to "kick" should bear in mind that a "boom" is due in Anaheim, her next train, and that the treasury ought to have some coin in it so that the boomlet can be nursed.
Last Monday Tuesday and Wednesday were probably the warmest days of the season, but it was quite pleasant on Thursday. The following were some of the expressions made by persons suffering from the recent hot spells, which were heard by accident: All fired hot, roasting hot, sun-burning hot, uncomfortably hot and a few other expressions which we shall refrain from mentioning. But people at the seaside say it was delightfully cool and pleasant.
Referring to the beautiful orange grove of Mr. Silas Holman, The Rural Californian says: It was planted by him in 1879, and covers 39 acres, being principally navel oranges and Lisbon oranges. Although black scale is common throughout the valley and the fruit is usually smutty, his trees and oranges are singularly clean of both. This is due to a little work once or twice a year in spraying and keeping his trees healthy and growing. It is a well known fact that scale will not remain on vigorous trees, and Mr. Holman has taken advantage of this and keeps his trees and orchard in such shape that the black scale has kept pretty well out of it. During the season just closed Mr. Holman has received about $5,400 for his fruit at Anaheim, shipping principally to San Francisco. In about three years more, at present prices, the fruit from that orchard will be worth $10,000 a year.

The erection of a home fire department on the H Street lot, belonging to the transformation ground floor of the city had one of the matters discussed by the Board of Trustees The night. The matter was intrigued by Marshal Kellenberger's plaint of the congested coats of his jail and the pressing of more cells. "I am comfortable double up the prisoners' cells most of the time. In case I had to arrest a man and incarcerate her for a two it would place me in an ward situation," he said. Ing permits were petitioned and granted to the following:

It will be observed of the proceedings of the Town Trustees that the lax rate for the coming year was fixed at 70 cents on the $100. This was the lowest rate that could be fixed and carry out the contemplated improvements. Those who are disposed to "kick" should bear in mind that a "boom" is due in Anaheim, her next train, and that the treasury ought to have some coin in it so that the boomlet can be nursed into activity. We must be prepared to take advantage of events. The manner in which the money is spent and not the rate of taxation ought to be the chief concern of the taxpayer at this juncture.
Rimpau Brothers give notice that on and after the 15th instant they will close their store on Sundays. This is the beginning of a movement that ought to spread. Even store keepers should have one day in seven for rest and recreation.
Mr. Tim Carroll has a large square redwood tank, or rather reservoir, on his place west of the depot, which is used to store the water for irrigating his growing trees and as a carp pond. He has the reservoir full of fish of all sizes, from eighteen inches or more in length down to others not larger than a finger. They multiply very rapidly and are said to be excellent fish for the table. These fish are not fed in this reservoir but subsist upon the moss that adheres to the bottom and sides of the tank.
The development of Anaheim's oil district goes on apace and there is a generally believed rumor that a large interest in these wells is about to pass under the control of a corporation which will not spare money in developing them. Among the future industries of Anaheim an oil refinery will probably be conspicuous.

Smitty Sees Army Poloists Down Riviera Blues In Sunday’s Game
Inasmuch as we will have a number of “young” men from Anaheim going to Hollywood next week for the state convention of the American Legion, thought maybe I had better go up last Sunday and take in some of the amusement that is offered in order that I might vouch for the type of entertainment to be offered the “country cousins” when they hit the “Village of the Stars.”
Likewise, inasmuch as the army was scheduled to show them (most of them at least) could ride a horse, I thought I would take in the polo game at Riviera Country Club when the boys from Fort Sill took on the movie magnates and trimmed them to the tune of 8 to 4. (The highest officer mounted was a captain, so I didn’t see any colonels do a “hop, skip and jump”).
Jack Holt was referee and someone sitting near me said he was mounted on a single-gaited horse . . . well I guess that was right . . . the horse had only one gait that I saw and that was a gallop . . . It seems that a polo ponie is taught only to walk and gallop without much walking .
Well, the Legionnaires next week will see the two teams in the final game. The first game between the two teams was a 9 to 9 tie and then last Sunday the Army took ’em . . . so next week the battle will be a battle . . . (spelled with an “A” not an “O”).
In addition to the polo game there is some jumping and the club certainly has some swell jumpers . . . Sunday they jumped in pairs and if you know anything about horses . . . you’ll know it’s a tough thing to make two of them jump five hurdles in unison . . head to head.
Next Sunday will have an elaborate program in addition to the polo game . . . and I wouldn’t be surprised if I took another trip there to get some pointers on "How To Live Down a Spill" or something along that line. . . Horses and me are fond of each other but I can’t seem to stay on top when with one . . . (that's put in for some of my friends who never forget).
