The meeting demanded that only one bridge be built at the Yorba crossing, that this be placed at the site of the old bridge and that the proposed 700-foot bridge at Richfield be abandoned. The course of Supervisor Schumacher in voting against the Richfield bridge was endorsed and the meeting pledged itself to support him for re-election. Applause followed this suggestion, and Mr. Schumacher was called upon for a speech. He thanked the assemblage for its kind work and pledged himself if re-elected to be alert in protecting the interests of the taxpayers not only of the third supervisor district but of the entire county as well. On motion of J. W. Duckworth, a committee of five was named to appear before the supervisors on Tuesday the 18th and ask that the Richfield bridge be abandoned. J. W. Duckworth, Gus Stern, H. H. Hale, W. L. York, and George Bird were appointed on the committee. The appalling growth of Germany's submarine warfare is shown by estimates that 81,000 Mrs. Webb Seated As Broadway P.-T.A.
