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 October 1, 1891 The city trustees met in special session on Monday and resolved to increase the capacity of the tank now being put up at the city water works from 34,100 gallons to 60,347 gallons. The tank is one that the city has owned for a number of years, but has never been used. It had never been set up, and upon being placed in position was found to be smaller than it was thought to be. The specifications call for a tank 20 x 20 feet, with a capacity of 40,000 gallons, and the tank was found to be only 17.8 x 20 feet holding but 34,100 gallons. It was ordered enlarged to 24 x 20 feet, with a capacity of 60,347 gallons. The increased expense will be $275. Mr. Schindler is laying the foundation for the frame.

This was an unusual fall for the season of the year, and if the records kept by Mr. Dickel for the past 36 years are a criterion by which to judge the future this early storm presages a dry season. This rule doesn't always hold good, because good years have occasionally followed early rains. Last year the first fall was on November 6, and .61 of an inch fell. The fall for the year was 19.32. The previous year, three quarters of an inch fell on October 3, and the precipitation for the year was 18.90.
