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 Pioneers. 50 Years Ago May 29, 1890 W. A. Witte has been appointed enumerator of the census in district No. 81, which embraces the territory of the Anaheim road district. Census taking will begin Monday. The list of questions to be asked by the enumerators was published by the Gazette several weeks ago, and should have been saved, as we presume it was, by our readers, and the answers made out at leisure, so that, when the enumerator comes around, the questions already answered may be handed him without delay. Some of the questions are searching and people may be reluctant to reply, but it should be remembered that the information is private and will be held as such by the census officials. The Board of Supervisors met at Santa Ana on Monday morning pursuant to adjournment. The report of the trustees of Orange school district in regard to the voting of a special school tax of $1,000 to build a primary school building near the Southern Pacific depot in Orange, was recommended to be placed on file. The public administrator was allowed to purchase a record book at a cost not to exceed $25, which will keep records of 100 estates. Reports of Surveyor Wood on survey of Arch Beach, Laguna and Tustin road accepted. 25 Years Ago May 27, 1915 At the joint meeting of the city trustees and representatives of the Committee of Fifty held at the city hall on Thursday night, the Civic Center committee, was discharged. The trustees and the committee could not agree upon a plan whereby the contemplated bond issue for a new city hall and park site could be submitted to the people. The civic center advocates were strongly in favor of a $65,000 bond issue to purchase the library site for park purposes, but were equally as strong against building a new city hall upon the present site on Center street. They contended for the purchase of the new site now and to use funds to be derived later from the sale of present city holdings for the erection of a new city hall upon the civic center location. The sale of the city property is problematical and it might be a long time before it would be sold, consequently erection of a hall under this scheme might be indefinitely postponed. This proposition was vigorously bucked by Trustees Cook, Stark, Schneider, Brunworth. The trustees wanted to give voters the privilege of voting upon two propositions. That is, $100,000 for purchase of the civic center site and erection of a city hall and other buildings thereon, and also upon a $35,000 proposition to erect the new municipal building. Modern History Of City Compiled Thirty Volumes to be Place In Anaheim Library at Early Date Among the many interesting volumes to take their places some on the shelves of Anaheim's public library will be a valuable group of 30 volumes summarizing the history of Anaheim during the 1933-1939 period. For the past several months number of workers on the W library project at 516½ W Fourth street, Santa Ana, has been searching the complete files of both the ANAHEIM GAZETE and ANAHEIM BULLETIN, clipping the most noteworthy articles and classifying them under headings as follows: General new activities of service and welfare organizations, sports, civic business, and notes of 25, 50, and 65 years ago. This mass of material is being arranged in chronological order in loose-leaf scrap books approximately 50 pages each. Standard newspaper makeup being followed as closely as nature of material will permit that each page will be pleasing to eye as well as informative. When finished these attract scrap books will present a concise reference work valuable for clear portrayal of the development of one of Orange county's most progressive cities. Time will enhance the value of this work as an adequate coverage of cross-section of the life of a community always increases in importance as the years pass. The report of the trustees of Orange school district in regard to the voting of a special school tax of $1,000 to build a primary school building near the Southern Pacific depot in Orange, was recommended to be placed on file. The public administrator was allowed to purchase a record book at a cost not to exceed $25, which will keep records of 100 estates. Reports of Surveyor Wood on survey of Arch Beach, Laguna and Tustin road accepted. The new jail was accepted and the keys turned over to the sheriff. Adjourned to Saturday next. The newly elected officers of Felicidad Parlor were installed last Saturday evening. The ceremonies were conducted by Mrs. McCreery of Los Angeles, District Deputy Grand President of the Esperanza Parlor of Los Angeles. The Misses Jackson and Ward and Mrs. Summerfield of Los Angeles also assisted in the installation ceremonies. After the installation a lunch was served and later an apromptu hop was enjoyed. The Native Daughters will meet on the afternoons of the first and third Thursdays of each month. We acknowledge receipt from Charles Binder's apiary in Soquel canyon of a couple of crates of superb white sage honey, incomparable in flavor and appearance. Mr. Binder will have a large honey crop this season and if his entire product is of such excellent quality as that presented us, he should have no trouble in finding a ready market at satisfactory figures. The third trainload of sheep to be shipped from here to Kansas City and Chicago left last Saturday morning. The train consisted of ten cars and goes through to Chicago on passenger time. George and Edward Amerige accompanied the sheep, and will visit their old home in Boston before their return. They will be absent for some months. Another trainload of fifteen cars of sheep left here for the East yesterday. The cloudy weather during the past week has again interfered with the work at the base line south of town. Prof. Gilbert contemplated moving to the Buena Park end of the line, but he has been prevented from doing so owing to the delay made necessary time before it would be sold, consequently erection of a hall under this scheme might be indefinitely postponed. This proposition was vigorously bucked by Trustees Cook, Stark, Schneider, Brunworth. The trustees wanted to give voters the privilege of voting upon two propositions. That is, $100,000 for purchase of the civic center site and erection of a city hall and other buildings thereon, and also upon a $35,000 proposition to erect the new municipal buildings upon the present city hall location. A large crowd of citizens were present and took part in the discussion. The city needs a new hall and a room to house the new motor fire truck, which will soon be on hand. What the trustees will do in the matter time will tell. It is freely admitted by many voters that the time is inopportune for a bond issue of any denomination. Articles of incorporation of the Anaheim Beef and Provision company have been filed with the county clerk. The capital stock is $150,000 and of this amount $90,100 has actually been paid in. There are five directors in the proposed company, all Anaheim people and the principal place of business will be Anaheim. The charter asked for is to exist for fifty years. The directors are Henry C. Lee, S. Charles Hosea, John Reuther, J. W. Bixby and Fred Reuther. Complaint is made of the untidy condition of the grounds at the Anaheim cemetery. Weeds have taken on a luxurious growth and otherwise the place is unkempt. Miss Vivian Fox, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Fox and, Alvin Melcher were married at the home of the bride's parents at 321 Chestnut street in Friday last, Rev. Meyers of Los Angeles officiating. After a honeymoon spent in the northern part of the state the young couple will make their home in this city where the groom is engaged in business. Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Turck have returned from a two weeks visit at the San Francisco exposition. They were accompanied home by their son Arthur Turck who is a student at the University at Berkeley. Mr. and Mrs. John Cassou are in San Francisco attending the Panama Pacific Exposition. When finished these attract scrap books will present a con reference work valuable for a clear portrayal of the development of one of Orange county most progressive cities. Time will enhance the value of this work as an adequate coverage of cross-section of the life of a community always increases in importance as the years pass. According to William Ruderman, supervisor of the project charge of the work, the first scrap books will be delivered shortly and the work will progress as rapidly as his curtailed personnel will permit. It is fortunate that a woman necessarily so tedious, was unable taken at this time. For under WPA set-up all salaries of the employed at this task are paid by federal government while material costs are the only ones come out of the budgets of libraries availing themselves this service. Former Resident or Anaheim Summon Word of the death last Tuesday in Capay, Calif., of Da Bertsch, resident of Anahi from 1883 until 1918, has been received here by the four relatives to make their homes here.

Another trainload of fifteen cars of sheep left here for the East yesterday. The cloudy weather during the past week has again interfered with the work at the base line south of town. Prof. Gilbert contemplated moving to the Buena Park end of the line, but he has been prevented from doing so owing to the delay made necessary by lack of clear weather. Our friend L. M. Kraemer, the street car driver leaves tomorrow for San Jose, where he has been offered a position as conductor on a cable road. Since his residence here he has made many friends. Lloyd Bailey takes his place. Professor Frantz has had a photograph taken of his tonsorial establishment, which shows the place to good advantage. In the first chair Cyclone McGoffin reclines, subjecting himself to a luxurious shave, in the application of which Frantz is putting on the finishing touches. In the second chair is our handsome friend Brown, the surveyor and railroad builder, who contemplates going to Mexico soon to engage in railroad building. Brown has just been shaved, apparently, and looks as if he is waiting for the barber to sandpaper his bald head. The picture is well taken and shows off the shop in realistic fashion. Miss A. Y. Addis of Los Angeles was a visitor in Anaheim on Tuesday. She is engaged in writing up this section for the History of Southern California, which is now in course of publication by the Lewis Company of Chicago. Miss Addis is a writer of charming grace and... contributed to Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Turck have returned from a two weeks visit at the San Francisco exposition.

One of the good things to be said about Mr. Gates is that he has been a subscriber of the Gazette for nearly twenty years. Miss Fanny Rowe of New Harmony, Ind., is paying a visit to her sister, Mrs. John Everharty. Both ladies visited friends at Monrovia on Tuesday and returned home yesterday.
