IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extract 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 May 22, 1890 The new Board of City Fathers met in regular session yesterday afternoon. Present Trustees Reiser, Littlefield, Witte, Schindler and Bennerscheidt. Trustee Schindler, chairman of the committee on Public Improvements, reported that Center street had been cleaned of weeds from the opera house to Palm street. Mr. Bennerscheidt reported that he had tested the hand engine of the city fire department and found that the air chamber of the pumping apparatus leaked in such a manner that the engine was entirely useless. He said $25 would repair the machine but it was not worth it. He thought the best thing o do was to sell it. After further discussion he was requested to repair the town hose including washers and fire plugs, so that the hose may be coupled to hydrants increase of fire. The ordinance committee reported an ordinance relating to the time and place of future meetings of the Board. Mrs. Metz asked to be allowed to construct a ditch on Center street for the purpose of bringing water on her property. As it was not thought advisable to bring water in Center street because of danger to the cement sidewalks, the request was denied. She was allowed to make 25 Years Ago May 20, 1915 Before the week is ended it is expected all the contracts for the new hotel which is to be erected by John Zeigler on the site of the commercial hotel at the corner of Center and Lemon streets will be let, and the work of demolishing the old building will speedily follow. Mr. Zeigler is desirous of giving all of the work of construction possible to Anaheim people, consequently he did not let the contract in a lump as it would probably have been secured by an outside firm and little of the work would have been secured by local builders. By letting all the contracts himself it is probable the entire building will be constructed by home people. The excavating, the brick work, the plumbing, the wiring, etc., will all be let under contracts by Mr. Zeigler himself. Architect Engene Durfee made the plans. The specifications call for a modern building with all possible conveniences. It has a frontage of 70 feet on Center street and 103 on Lemon. It will be four stories high and will cost $40,000. Satisfactory progress is being made on the other new business buildings now in course of construction. Inside finishing is all that remains to be done on the Fisher block. The front of the The ordinance committee reported an ordinance relating to the time and place of future meetings of the Board. Mrs. Metz asked to be allowed to construct a ditch on Center street for the purpose of bringing water on her property. As it was not thought advisable to bring water in Center street because of danger to the cement sidewalks, the request was denied. She was allowed to make a crossing on Olive, Claudina and Philadelphia streets for the purpose. A communication was received from the state Board of Health asking series of questions for the benefit of the state board. The President of the Board, Mr. Raiser, together with Dr. Bullard and Marshal Landell were appointed a board of health. The Anaheim baseball club goes to San Diego on Saturday to play two games with the San Diego boys. The nine will be composed of Captain Wommer, McGinty Clayton, Wm. McGoffin, L. Koerner, Frank Harris, J. and Al Harlin, George Peters and James Henderson. McGoffin and Henderson will do the twirling and Harris will backstop. Our boys ought to give the bayn-climate people a pretty good game. Here's luck to them. Marshal Landell, and a posse raided a Chinese gambling house on Sunday evening and bagged nine heathens. One of them, named Ah Sam, was found guilty by Judge Fox on Monday. The others demanded a jury trial and their case came up on Tuesday. Ah Sam agreed that if his fine was nominal the case would not be appealed. So the judge fined him $5, which he paid and went on his way rejoicing. The Anaheim Military band at its last week's meeting elected the following officers: C. W. Alms, president; Oscar R. Luedke, manager and secretary; W. W. Weaver, treasurer; Walter Crowther, leader. The band is composed of twelve pieces and plays splendidly. Their new music elicits much favorable comment. John Wagner of Placentia had his left forearm broken some days ago by a kick from a fractious horse. Mr. Wagner was standing in front of the animal, when suddenly it kicked with its hind leg, striking the arm in an upper-cut mishap. Architect Engene Durree made the plans. The specifications call for a modern building with all possible conveniences. It has a frontage of 70 feet on Center street and 103 on Lemon. It will be four stories high and will cost $40,000. Satisfactory progress is being made on the other new business buildings now in course of construction. Inside finishing is all that remains to be done on the Fisher block. The front of the Odd Fellows building is climbing to ward the third story. The frame work of the new two story Yungbluth building is now being erected and it will be rapidly advanced. The Carroll building on North Los Angeles street is completed. The packing plant north of town is nearly completed. The editor of the Garden Grove News reports that he gave a neighbor a package of beet seed that had been franked to him by Congressman Kettner and the very next day the neighbor brought in a beet three feet long that had grown from the seed. This is quick action, assuming that the statement is correct, but we are undecided whether to give the credit to the fertility of Garden Grove soil or the fertility of Editor Perry's brain. S. R. Coate of Anaheim is the new president of the District Sunday School association, which held its annual convention in the Baptist church at Fullerton, Wednesday. Other officers chosen at the session are as follows: S. W. Windle of Fullerton, vice-president; Mrs. Carrie A. Burch, secretary and treasurer.

He will probably invest in land near Anaheim. Mr. and Mrs. Pierre Nicolas and family of eight children left last week for a visit to their old home in France. They will be absent several months. During the five-year period the fiscal years 1934-35 to 1938 the 13 district cities, taken as one unit, recorded a 25 per cent increase in water consumption. The case of the individual city the result of industrial activity is apparent in even greater percentage increases for the five-year period.

Miss Marie Schumacher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Schumacher, was married at the hour of her parents on North Claus Street Sunday to Conrad Mahan, Rev. E. J. Stanton, pastor of Presbyterian church at Fullerton officiating. An elaborate dinner followed the ceremony which was performed at 1 o'clock.

The broken member is mending as rapidly as can be expected. It is rumored at Santa Ana that the street car line running from Tustin to Santa Ana and thence to Orange will shut down business shortly. Last year the company went behind $2,700 in the business, and unless a sudden change ensues the running of cars over this line will be discontinued indefinitely. This will be a severe blow to our neighboring towns. The large tank on the Blair place, east of town fell to the ground one day last week when filled with water. The tank frame is situated near the house and the falling tank narrowly escaped doing serious damage to the building, barely escaping the same in its descent. Quite a flood of water prevailed for a while. Johnny Matter, who formerly lived here, was in town last week renewing old acquaintances. He has associated himself with a partner and leased the Hotel Metropole at Catalina, which will be opened in June. Colonel Messner of Orange was over to see us on Sunday. The Colonel likes to come over on a visit to his Anaheim friends every once in a while, and says he enjoys himself when he comes.
