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 November 27th, 1890 The Board of City Trustees met yesterday afternoon in regular session, the meeting being the first one held in five weeks. Three weeks had regularly elapsed, when they attempted to hold their meeting of two weeks ago, but at that time Trustee Witte was in Nevada, Trustee Littlefield was at Santa Ana looking after his interests in the supervisor election contest, and Trustee Reiser was sick in bed. Trustee Benner-scheidt was the only member of the board who put in an appearance. Trustee Schindler failed to appear at all. As the Santa Ana wind was blowing a gale that day, his apology is accepted. Yesterday's meeting was called to order at 2 o'clock with every member present except Mr. Littlefield. The trustees were on their good behavior. All of them had their clothes brushed nicely and their hair combed in the latest style. President Reiser called the honorable solons to order and Clerk Nebelung read the minutes of the meeting of October 22nd. They were approved as read. The meeting had been held so long ago that not a single trustee remembered any inaccuracy in the Clerk's report.

The plans call for a splendid building fronting on both Center and Claudina streets. The jail will be in the rear. The fire department will open on Claudina street. It requires a two-third vote to carry the bonds. Preparations were in the making for calling a bond election more than a year ago when advocates of a civic center began agitating the question of purchasing the entire block on which the public library now stands, and the erection of all city buildings thereon. This halted proceedings for a time while the question was being threshed out among the citizens. The trustees proposed to the committee of fifty representing the civic center forces, that both propositions be placed on the ballot and voters be permitted to decide which they preferred. This test was declined by proponents of the civic center, consequently the board arranged for a vote on the original idea to build a new hall on the old site. The city trustees feel that a larger and more ornate building is neces- Mary Elaine Dyson Weds Alvin Graham Miss Mary Elaine Dyson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dyson, 418 South Indiana street, Alvin Graham, son of Mr., and C.
