IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRC HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... April 22 — 1882 Sixty-one complaints against violators of the Sunday law have been filed in Justice Gannon's court and a similar number have been filed in Justice Alex Bailey's court. These are all Los Angeles cases. The juries in that city having uniformly failed to agree, the complaints are being farmed out among the county justices. No warrants have been issued on any of these complaints, they are held in abeyance until the District Attorney finds an opportunity to attend to them. It is said that the Board of Supervisors at its next meeting will probably indicate to the District Attorney their desire that all further attempts to enforce the Sunday law be postponed for the time being. A convention of citizens was held at the Planter's Hotel on Tuesday evening to nominate candidates for town offices. The wholesale declinations which followed the two previous conventions made it necessary to hold a third one and endeavor to nominate a ticket that would stick. Mr. D. W. C. Cowan was called to the chair and Mr. H. Cahen acted as secretary. The following ticket was chosen: Trustees — E. A. Saxton, B. Dreyfus, John P. Zeyn, T. J. F. Boege, R. J. Northaur; Clerk — Richard Melrose; 50 Years Ago... April 25 — 1907 At the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce on Thursday evening matters of importance were discussed, notably the paving of streets in the business sections of the city. About 700 feet frontage still remains to be secured to the petition calling for the paving of Los Angeles and Center streets and a committee was appointed to interview property owners in the district proposed to be paved and secure their consent to the improvement. The committee propose to receive a majority of the signers on both streets and to then pass the petition to the city council in the earnest hope that that body will lend its hearty cooperation in accomplishing the street improvements. J. F. Walker, John Resh and Capt. Williams were appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to solicit subscriptions for a four page write-up of this city to be published in the May number of Pictorial America, to be issued during the Shriners' meeting in Los Angeles next month. Tim Carroll received his touring car on Monday from Weisel and Sandilands and has since been putting it to good use.

Mr. D. W. C. Cowan was called to the chair and Mr. H. Cahen acted as secretary. The following ticket was chosen: Trustees — E. A. Saxton, B. Dreyfus, John P. Zeyn, T. J. F. Boege, R. J. Northaur; Clerk — Richard Melrose; Assessor—C. H. Zeyn; Treasurer —G. B. Shaffer; Marshal—F. W. Tyler; Justice of the Peace — Alexander Bailey. The election will be held in the town hall on Monday. The polls will be open from one hour after sunrise until sunset. The round house built by Mr. Hinde near Anaheim is to be matched by another architectural eccentricity at Pasadena. The Lightfoot Brothers of that place are building a triangular house. Sheep shearing is in progress and the clip is said to be remarkably good when the sheep are free from scab. The sheep on the San Joaquin ranch are doing finely. Grass there is good but very thin on the ground. Visual brothers are on their way to Colorado with 2200 head of sheep. Hubed Zuber and brother are taking 4500 head of sheep (young ewes) to New Mexico. They bought them in the neighborhood of San Juan Capistrano at prices ranging from $1.90 to $2.25 after shearing. Mrs. J. A. Emery returned from her eastern trip on Monday. Mrs. W. B. Robb also returned from a prolonged eastern trip on Monday. H. B.

The state operated park offers picnic, bathing and parking facilities manned by a score of lifeguards, beach attendants and write-up of this city to be published in the May number of Pictorial America, to be issued during the Shriners' meeting in Los Angeles next month. Tim Carroll received his touring car on Monday from Weisel and Sandilands and has since been putting it to good use. Tim bought a Maxwell, which is the winner of a long distance non-stop run, the car having covered 3000 miles of country roads, traveling night and day until the distance was covered without once stopping the engine. The price paid was $1800 and the machine is a beauty. The Water Board on Monday selected the lot offered by Napoleon Hart on east Center street as a site for the company's new building. Two other lots had been offered, the Nemetz lot at the corner of Emily and Center and the Krooge lot on West Center. The frame building now situated on the lot will be moved as will those adjoining it on the east. Work upon the water office H. B. State Park Opens Saturday Chief Ranger, William Rinehart, will open the gates of Huntington Beach State Park for its seventh summer season, as a family recreation center, next Saturday, April 13. The state operated park offers picnic, bathing and parking facilities manned by a score of lifeguards, beach attendants and Rangers. It is located at the junction of Highway 39 and Pacific Coast Highway and extends from that point to the Santa Ana River. The park will be open from 10 a.m. to midnight every day during the six month summer season. Rinehart suggests that visitors plan to come early to be assured space in one of the 1500 car parking lots or to build picnic fires in the more than 500 cement fire rings located along the two miles of wide ocean sand.
