The board of trustees held their regu-
lar weekly meeting, Monday evening,
when the insurance and wharf water
came up for disposal. The difficulty
with the Pacific Coast Insurance union
grew out of license imposed on each
company doing business here to the
amount of $500 per year, which seems
to have raised their temper to Yuma
heat, and the union, through their repre-
sentative, has given the council the alter
native of taking off the license or having
the rate of insurance of Santa Monica
raised 20 per cent. This threat has had
the effect of raising the ire of the board
of trustees, who say, in substance, raise
and be id, we will not be bulldozed,
and refused fatty, byvote of four to one,
to take off the tax, and thus they very
properly met the bluff.
In the wharf matter, there were
two reports presented from the commit
tee of the whole, to whom was present
ed the petition of the citizens request
ing the board to call an election for the
purpose of voting on the ques
tion of bonding the town for
the purpose of building a wharf.
The majority report was signed byMessrs.
Carrillo, Lewis and Vawter; was in
favor of calling said election, and was
accompanied by an ordinance to that
effect. The other was signed by Messrs.
Allen and Stein, who believed it to be
inopportune to build the same at pres
ent. The proposed ordinance was de-
feated, it requiring four votes according
to the statutes in such cases, and thus
the matter of wharf building was again
indefinitely postponed. After the vote
was taken, considerable amusement was
caused by John F. Hogan, who was in
the audience in attendance, asking the
gentlemen who defeated the same to
state their reassns for not allowing the
citizens to be the judge of the matter.
The matter of the bids for electric
lighting and franchise granting was
postponed for one week.
The board ordered The city attorney
to confer with the fire company, and
draw up suitable notice for bids for
800feet of fire hose.
