There were present Mayor Dwyer, Trustees Stark, Backs, McFadden and Gibbs. Messrs. McFadden and Backs special committeemen, reported upon the joint sewer meeting held at Fullerton on December 10, when representatives from the various cities were present. It was agreed that the outfall sewer is a necessity and that its completion should be accomplished as soon as possible. All the incorporated towns have more or less trouble with their present disposition of the effluent and a remedy is sought Locally the situation is acute, and the trustees are looking for a way out of the dilemma. Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton and Anaheim will strive to arrange for the outfall. What the ultimate cost will be is not as yet arrived at, but the outfall will no doubt require the expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars. A meeting will be held at Santa Ana tomorrow. Dr. J. W. Truxaw came in at 10 o'clock and discussed the flu situation with the trustees. The doctor said the epidemic is no worse than it was two or three weeks ago. Dr. Truxaw advises people to be careful and avoid congregating in crowds. Live a simple life and if you show signs of the flu, go to bed and stay there. The Grammer schools were closed on Monday for an indefinite period. 50 Years Ago December 21, 1893 The Grand Jury have completed their labors, and on Saturday rendered their report.

Defendants have been ordered to appear in the Superior court for arraignment tomorrow. Abran Aguilar was held to appear before the Superior court in bonds of $8000 in a charge of murdering his wife. Incontrovertible evidence was introduced showing that he was not in Los Angeles the day of the murder nor for weeks previously, but two witnesses perjured themselves by swearing they saw him near the scene of the murder the day it was committed, and this perjured testimony succeeded in holding him against the testimony of others. Among the witness for Aguilar were Sam, Ed and Ben Kraemer, W. A. Witte, R. H. Scale, Horman Pennerscheidt and (NOTE: If you have a son any branch of the armed forces or a daughter in any of the women's army services, The Anaheim Gazette would like to have new notes about them.
