Secretary Malcom Fraser said this afternoon that it a more would be required to finish the task. The bulks of the job was finished yesterday. No more sandbags will be laid, but stakes now are being driven about the bags to keep them in place, and the barrage of cedar trees, fastened with wire, to be extended half across the river, is being pushed to completion. The object of this barrage is to divert the current from the spot affected and weaken its force. A Bayliss is in charge of the force, which consists of volunteers and hired labor. Outside the city the worst spot still is the junction of the Olive-rd and Placentia-ave, where the water has not yet entirely run off. Elsewhere little water remains. In the city the streets continued to improve, with little water worth mentioning left to impede traffic. In placing the express trees yesterday and today, John Cook, wealthy rancher of Walnut-st and former counsellman, did vallant work. Cook took charge of this important detail and wading in a swift current at times up to his neck lod a gray of laborers. This morning it was found that the current had cut dangerously above the part of the sand bag dike first laid yesterday. The barrage will prevent a repetition of this, it is believed. The gang of railway laborers put in 5000 nails of sand yesterday and were used today. SET 2 NEW WORLD AERIAL RECORDS MINEOLA.

Bruns, Ben Hemmerling, W. B. Allen and Ben Baxter; finance, program, etc., Chas. Eygabroad, William Falkenstein, Henry Adams, George M. Ross and C. M. Hollingshead. These resolutions were passed without opposition: WHEREAS, the recent heavy rains have caused flood conditions and overflow of the Santa Ana river, between the Santa Fe railroad bridge, north of Olive, and the county bridge across the said river, leading from Anaheim into Olive, on the west side of the said Santa Ana river, and WHEREAS this overflow covers a large area of the most valuable acreage in California, and has also innundated certain residential sections outlying the city of Anaheim, and caused flood waters to threaten the residential districts within the city limits, and WHEREAS it is a well known fact that this overflow, although perhaps not actually harmful to a certain portion of the land covered by the waters, is naturally causing harm by the depreciation of property values in general, and the exaggerated public city in all the papers of Southern California will tend to the same result. Now, therefore be it resolved that a temporary organization be formed, designed, to immediately effect such plans as may permanently prevent the flooding of land in the said district, and Be it further resolved, that two committees for this purpose be selected as follows: (a) A committee to be known as the right of way committee, the duties of which will be to set out the boundaries of a temporary district; to procure the easement for the placing of necessary protection; to submit recommendations, and estimates of the work. (b) A Finance Committee to procure funds by voluntary subscription along an equitable assessment plan, to such an amount as may be found necessary for the performance of the work, between the Santa Fe railroad bridge, north of Olive along the westerly bank of the Santa Ana river, running west-erly and south-westery to and connecting with the protection work or the Garden Grove protection district. Both committees were called to meet today in the C. of C. rooms. Following the collection of subscriptions, subscribers themselves will take over the matter of how the money shall be spent, appointing a third committee for the purpose. Harry D. Riley, president of the C. of C., was elected chairman of the meeting, and Secretary Malcolm Fraser of Chamber Commerce. Riley stated the purpose of the meeting, to find out whether public sentiment favored permanent protection. If so, discussion of ways and means was in order. Riley asked the speakers to have charge of the letting of contracts, etc. In response to a question from Dr. H. A. Johnston, as to whether the county would maintain the protection after it was constructed, Eygabroad said he thought the supervisors would give some aid. W. B. Allen asked about the line which the protection would follow. O. E. Steward, city manager, explained that the 1000-foot line would be the one followed. T. F. Shea asked if the supervisors had inspected the river at the point affected. Secretary Fraser replied that Supervisor William Schumacher had looked at it and had said that the county probably would want to help. William Mason called attention to the work of the Tri-County Reforestation Committee, of which he is a member from Orange county. He thought that whatever protection work was done should "synchronize" as he said...with the committee's plans, Chairman Riley reminded him that the Associated Chambers of the county would present a report on water conservation and flood control. Eygabroad declared Chairman Cuttle of the reforestation committee had advised that local protection be pushed ahead without delay, whatever the committee did. C. C. Berger quoted Cuttle as saying that the local protection plans by no means interfered with the tri-county project. Frank Tausch was inlined to think the protection should extend from a point north of the Santa Fe bridge. This started a discussion as to what was the most feasible northern point. Eygabroad recommended that the ranchers north of the Santa Fe bridge initiate a protection movement of their own, which he said Anaheim and vicinity probably would be glad to aid. City Manager Steward explained the courses taken by overflows from the river, ascertained by surveys, according to where a break occurred. He said that at first he had not favored Eygabroad's plan, but now approved it. If the plan failed, a protection district with a burden of regular assessments was the alternative. For instance, people in the Olive storm district for a distance of five miles obligated themselves to a payment of $36.00 per acre, he said. Steward said one of the tasks of the subscribers' committee would be to get the lines of the official channel, as Olive and Garden Grove had done. William T. Wallop moved the passage of certain resolutions, in order to bring the matter to action, but yielded to Leonard D. Evans, who read the resolutions already mentioned. Passage of the resolutions was delayed by a discussion as to whether the protection area should extend for a quarter of a mile north of the Santa Fe bridge or not. Various opinions were expressed by J. J. Dwyer, J. P. Ahborn, A. A. Wills, W. B. Allen and Both committees were called to meet today in the C. of C. rooms. Following the collection of subscriptions, subscribers themselves will take over the matter of how the money shall be spent, appointing a third committee for the purpose. Harry D. Riley, president of the C. of C., was elected chairman of the meeting, and Secretary Malcolm Fraser of Chamber Commerce. Riley stated the purpose of the meeting, to find out whether public sentiment favored permanent protection. If so, discussion of ways and means in order. Riley asked the speakers to stick to the topic of the evening. President W. J. Siemann of the First National Bank, said that Charles A. Eygabroad had a proposition for protection which he thought should be heard. Eygabroad was called on by Chairman Riley to outline his plan. In doing so, Eygabroad said it had received the approval of leading engineers of Southern California. His plan is to drive two rows of piling, the rows to be eight feet apart and the piles themselves in each row the same distance, from the Santa Fe bridge to the north end of the Garden Grove protection dike, place wire over it to keep it in place and fill in the space between the rows of piles with debris, sand, etc. Back of the piles he would have a grade built, 30 feet broad at the base, six high, and 12 feet wide at the top, to contain a roadway. The top of the grade would be oiled to keep the material in place. Eygabroad said privately that the North-st. washout showed that sand oiled in this way held with remarkable firmness. He proposed that $40,000 be raised, the sum being based on a careful estimate of about $25,000 per mile. The distance to be protected is 11-4 to 11-2 miles. He argued strongly against forming a protection district, which would mean assessments levied for years to come against subscribers. Make subscriptions contingent, he urged upon the raising of the full amount. Easements would have to be procured from owners of rights of way. He urged that a committee be appointed to go over the territory affected and apportion the expense. His estimate is not over $5,00 per acre of assessment. For the city, a C. of C. committee could do the work. The $40,000 would suffice for maintenance of the work for a time. Eygabroad explained that the committee chosen by subscribers would William T.

Passage of the resolutions was delayed by a discussion as to whether the protection area should extend for a quarter of a mile north of the Santa Fe bridge or not.

Following the appointment of the two committees, the meeting was adjourned. LEGION LECTURER AT FAIRYLAND WED. Ernest J.
