IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange county in the Days of the Ploneers. 50 Years Ago July 26, 1888 The Hotel-del Campo has been formally accepted from the contractors, Albrecht Bros., who have faithfully performed their contract and built the hotel in workmanlike manner. The structure is a testimonial to their ability as builders. Architecturally the building is second to no hotel in the county, a result which is due to the genius and taste of John Pelton, Jr. It is to be hoped that a landlord can be found for the hotel so that it will do what it is intended to do—attract to Anaheim a share of the tourists who pour into Los Angeles county every fall and winter. Reiser's opera house is receiving completing touches, and will soon be ready for occupancy. It is a very handsome building, and a voucher for the enterprise and public spirit of its owner. The architect was Capt. S. O. Woods. Madame Modjeska had a brilliant house-warming at her elegant home in the Santiago canyon Saturday evening of last week. Quite a number of invited guests were present from Los Angeles, San Juan, Santa Ana and Anaheim. It is expected that the work of laying cement sidewalks on the south side of Center street be clerk was instructed to procure a seal for the city. J. S. Weber has moved into the building lately vacated by Landell and Schneider, where his stock of stores, tinware, etc., is displayed to good advantage. A tasty awning has been erected in front of R. Luecke's Jewelry store on Center street, and another in front of Brunswicker's butcher shop on Los Angeles street. Mr. V. B. Lovering has sold to Freegrace L. Sexton and Fred L. Sexton lots 2 and 4 in section 5, township 4 south, range 10 west. Consideration $6000. Hippolyte Cahen has been the happiest man in town the last few days. Cause, a new baby girl arrived Monday evening. G. H. Amerige attended the hop at the Long Beach Hotel on Saturday night. Mrs. W. A. Wayman and family of Garden Grove are sojourning at San Juan Hot Springs. Miss Minnie Bailey of Los Angeles is here visiting friends. Next Sunday at 7:30 p.m., Rev. Hale Townsend of the Protestant Episcopal church will hold services at Anaheim Landing. within three months. The Masonic temple will be one of the most beautiful structures in Anaheim. Its dimensions are 80-120 feet. It will be two stories high with a basement, and the ground floor will be divided into three store rooms, all of which are already leased. The upstory will be devoted to local purposes. The cost of the structure, exclusive of the ground, is $32,000. Acting upon assurances given by the board of trade of this company, it would provide protection for a new concrete bridge to spike the river at Olive, the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday call for plans and specifications for the structure. The bridge will composed of six 20 foot span proaches on each side. It will be a thousand feet shorter than the present bridge, which owes numerous washouts at both ends during past years has been lengthened by approaches until at present it is the longest structure in its kind in the county. The bridge it is estimated will cost from $60,000 to $70,000. As soon as work upon protecting the river shall have begun, the county highway commission will begin upon construction of pavement between this city and the highway leading up River Canyons to the Riverside county line. The road will cost $27,000. Inasmuch as this paved road will not be built if the new bridge be constructed, and as only $12,000 is necessary for protecting the structure, it is considered that the investment will be peculiar advantageous. The board of trust will call up the matter of protection of the new bridge at its meeting Monday evening. Strong committees will be appointed to take Madame Modjeska had a brilliant house-warming at her elegant home in the Santiago canyon Saturday evening of last week. Quite a number of invited guests were present from Los Angeles, San Juan, Santa Ana and Anaheim. It is expected that the work of laying cement sidewalks on the south side of Center street between I. Angeles and Lemon streets will begin next week. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday, all the members being present. Two ordinances were introduced—one levying a dog license, and one prohibiting hay from being kept, except in closed buildings, within the limits embraced by Santa Ana and Sycamore streets, and Olive and Palm streets. Two ordinances were adopted, one levying licences and the other relating to obstructions in the streets. Permission was granted Mr. Reiser to connect the Masonic hall with the city water works. The Mrs. W. A. Wayman and family of Garden Grove are sojourning at San Juan Hot Springs. Miss Minnie Bailey of Los Angeles is here visiting friends. Next Sunday at 7:30 p.m., Rev. Hale Townsend of the Protestant Episcopal church will hold services at Anaheim Landing. 25 Years Ago July 24, 1913 Between 20 and 25 men are now engaged on the construction work of the Masonic temple, at the corner of Center and Emily streets, and the walls are rapidly climbing skyward.

Insurance Company Assessments Large One of the largest tax assessment rolls for insurance companies ever compiled by the state board of equalization has been turned over to the state controller for collection, it was announced today by William G. Bonelli, Los Angeles, member of the fourth district. The total tax roll, including general insurance, ocean marine and retaliatory, amounted to $7,459,-521.30, based on the business reported by the insurance companies for the calendar year 1937. This total represented a gain of $691,048.63, or 10.21 per cent, over the 1937 assessment roll, and $698,009.72, or 10.32 per cent, more than the amount assessed in 1936. Fatal Motor-Train Accidents Increase Fatal accidents involving trains and automobiles at railroad grade crossings last year reached the highest total since 1930, despite the progress made in the federal program for elimination of such crossings, according to the public safety department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. The total number of deaths in the United States in 1937 from collisions between trains and motor vehicles at grade crossings was 1875. This was 89 more than in 1936, but 693 less than the peak year of 1928, when the total of grade crossing deaths soared to 2568. A. A.
