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 28, 1891 The city bond election occurs on Tuesday. All progressive people should vote in favor of the bonds. We need the improvements—new water works, improved streets and fire apparatus. The main objection to the bonds is because of the appropriation of $3,500 for the erection of a town hall. The item is small, and the urgent need of improvements and repairs to our delapidated system of water works should be enough to carry the bonds, even with the town hall appropriation tacked to them. In the present condition of the water works—constantly out of order, always being repaired and eating up money, and frequently days at a time of no use to us whatever—a fire like that at the Planters' hotel, coming at a time when the "pump is broke," a cry that we have heard so very, very often lately, would destroy the city in no time. We need new water works and fire apparatus to give us the protection which our growing city demands. Progressive people will vote for the bonds. Ennis and Archie Henry, sons of our townsman Alex Henry, returned last week from Seattle, where they have been working at their trade of carpentering for several months past. The young gentlemen were tendered a surprise party by their friends on Thursday evening last when the 25 Years Ago June 1, 1916 With appropriate ceremonies Malvern Hill Post, G. A. R., and Julia Ward Howe Tent, Daughters of Veterans, paid homage to the comrades who had gone before at Anaheim Cemetery Tuesday and decorated their graves with beautiful flowers. Only twenty-two veterans fell in line on Tuesday and marched to the steps of the mausoleum where the exercises took place. Comrade O. V. Knowlton, acting commander, headed the procession. Forty-six old soldiers who wore the blue and three who wore the gray are buried in the Anaheim cemetery and no distinction was made between them in decorating the graves. Malvern Hill post formerly had a membership of 92 but now has 31 on its roll. C. C. Chapman leaves this afternoon for San Francisco, where he will join the state delegation to the Republican National convention at Chicago.
