COMMISSIONER COLLINS.
He Acknowledges That He Has Re-
signed His Office.

He Acknowledges That He Has Re-
signed His Office.
Mr.. M. T. Collins has placed his resig-
nation as police commissioner in the
hands OF councilman.
Why this is so can only be surmised.
Mr.. Collins himself stated to HERALD
reporter yesterday that he had, or was
about to resign, and when asked for his
reasons he stated that it took too much
time, and the salary, which consists OF
the honor attached to the place, was not
large enough to compensate him. Mr..
Collins has given the city four years
good service for nothing, two years as
councilman when the salary consisted
only of dignity, and two years as COM
missioner. Mr.. Collins says he has had
enough of that sort of emolument, and
is now willing to be the means OF giving
someone else chance.
The retiring police commissioner has
been most faithful and efficient public
servant, as friends in both parties will
admit. No one is better informed on
public affairs, and no officer ever guard
ed the interests of the people more jeal-
ously or with more ability. Mr.. Collins
is man who will be heard from in poll
tics.

THE CITRUS FAIR.
Fruit Pouring In at the Pavilion
Fast.


There are now only five days more for
the work of preparation at the citrus
fair, and all the localities are busy with
their final arrangements. Tomorrow the
fruit will begin to pour in. The delayed
mail which is now arriving in large
quantities at the uperintendent's office
shows that the work is well under way
in every locality.
J. Wallace F. Diss, the manager of the
Redlands display, spent yesterday in
this city, hard at work at the pavilion.
The Redlands arch will be an elaborate
and beautiful structure, and the re-
mainder of the design contains number
of unique elements that will attract
much attention.
The ladies of the annex were present
in good numbers at the pavilion yester-
day, stringing raisins and preparing the
fruit which is to be used in decorating
the court house.
In these days it is not possible to pick
up any newspaper from the citrus-grow-
ing sections without finding it full of
references, editorial and local, to the
coming fair. Probably no one event in
this part of the state was ever more
thoroughly advertised through the legit-
innate interest which it has called out
among the public generally. There is
every prospect that the attendance from
the outside districts will be enormous.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-03-04

Grant Brothers yesterday recon-
,..nced the work of grading for the
Los Angeles Terminal road, on its line
from this city to San Pedro, which labor
was interrupted by the recent rains.
Chief Engineer Mcclure of this road
has decided to make radical change IN
the building of the east-side levee. He
will virtually build double levee, by
sinking ten feet east of the present line
of piles, another line, and will fill the
space between with stone to the depth
of fifteen feet, extending eight feet below
the bed of the river. This should form
perfect barrier aginst the force of the
water.
The line OF the road as far as Clear
water has been fully established, but its
course beyond that place depends on the
action of the people of Long Beach.
The company will run straight line
from Clearwater to the center OF Long
Beach, if it is given a right of way. Ii
this inducement is withheld, it will
build diagonally from Clearwater to
San Pedro, leaving Long Beach to one
side on a spur.
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
The Southern Pacific entire system
from Yuma to San Francisco was yester-
day thrown open for traffic, excepting
the branch to Santa Ana, which will be
open on Thursday. The pile driver is
busy completing the bridge across New
river, and that is all that prevents from
running to Santa Ana now.
The line to the east of Yuma is still
badly demoralized, but an army of near
ly fifteen hundred laborers is rapidly
making the repairs, and in five days
time, the officials predict, the entire
system will be working without hitch.
THE SANTA FE.
Thursday is the day set by the Santa
Fe officials for the reopening of all their
lines. Passenger traffic as far east as
San Bernardino, and as far south as Ri
vera, has been resumed.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-03-04
The Santa Fe Bridge at Duarte.

In response to call issued but few
hours previously large number of the
citizens of Duarte met at the school
house on Saturday evening to consider
the danger to the lower lands of that
vicinity from the Santa Fe railroad
bridge at that point. The meeting
promptly organized by appointing John
Scott chairman and w. Chippendale
secretary. The following preamble and
resolution were then proposed and unan-
imously adopted, viz:
Whereas. 1t is the sense of this meet
ing that the Santa Fe railroad bridge
was the immediate cause of the recent
loss of life and destruction of property
by flood at this locality and that so long
as the said bridge remains upon its pres
ent plan it will be perpetual danger
and menace to a large tract of land in
this vicinity therefore, be it
Resolved, That a petition to the board
of supervisors be drawn up and circu-
lated throughout this district for sigma
lures, requesting it to take some action
to compel the Santa Fe railroad COM.
pany to replace the present bridge at
this point by structure that shall not
be source of danger to life and pro-
perty.
The question OF requesting the aid of
the county supervisors in the work Of
protecting this portion of the San Ga
briel valley, by the construction of a
levee from the further inroads of the
river floods, was then discussed, and Mr..
John Scott was appointed committee
to bring this matter before the board.
A form of petition to the supervisors
was submitted to the meeting and
adopted, and all those present appended
their names to it. The petition was
then placed In charge of F. M. Shrode
for circulation.
1t was then resolved that copy of the
proceedings of the meeting be furnished
to the Los Angeles press, also to the
local papers, after which the meeting
adjourned, subject to call by the chair
man for further action
