THE TRUSTEES.
The board of trustees met last night
and spent more time on storm water
bitches. This peculiar problem of waste
water which has been the one drawback
to Redlands' otherwise perfect site has
been solved by this board most effect
ually. ALI residents of this city for the
future must look back with gratitude to
the men who, without remuneration OF
any kind, have given their time and ex-
perience to this tedious, laborious, tech
nical and elaborate work. Messrs. Jud.
son, Meserve, Warren Glover and
Kingsbury, however they may find
themselves criticised and harrassed
upon many matters of municipal govern
ment, upon which necessarily all cannot
agree and upon which they themselves
cannot be unanimous, can rest assured
that their painstaking and conscientious
labors upon storm ditch matters are
thoroughly appreciated by every citizen
of this place.
