POINTS ABOUT THE PROPOSED Sc
CESSION PLAN.

Question About the School Bonds.
News Notes and Personals.

POMONA, March 10, 1891.
1t would be unfortunate for the city
of Pomona, if the present movement to
control the limits of the city should
prove successful, and, therefore, those
within the city who realize the situa-
ton feel some concern about it. 1t is
pretty generally conceded that the ef-
forts of the Kingsley tract people alone
will not succeed unless they form
coalition with the other portions that
want to sever their relations with the
city government.
THE SCHOOL BONDS.
CITY Attorney Turner was seen in ref
erence to the report that the sale OF our
school bonds had failed, and he said he
had received no notice of the fact, though
he was in constant communication with
the attorneys who are investigating the
matter for the bidders to whom the
bonds were awarded. All the proceed
ings in the organization OF the city are
being investigated, and it necessarily re-
ouires much time and work.
There is no reason to doubt that
the Pomona school bonds are all 0. X.
The report of few days ago to the con-
trarv appears to have originated from
nothing, for the most diligent inquiry
has failed to discover its source. The
ATTORNEYS who are investigating the
matter telegraphed yesterday to
have the words County of Los Angeles"
inserted in the bonds, an ordinance
hot oh nrnnnrlU nQacpd
and to send a sample of the bonds so
changed to them. 1t thus appears that
the investigation was drawing to a
favorable conclusion, and that Pomona
is to have her commodiOus and we'll
equipped school buildings, such as will
do credit to her and furnish ample ac-
commodations to our pupils for years to
come.
The Orange Belt Irrigation district is
still pushing its negotiations for water
with the Arrowhead company. That
company has asked the Orange Belt
district to join with Glendora, San
Dimas, etc., and determine the amount
of land for which water is wanted, so
that the best possible terms for water
NAV be made. OF course, the larger
the area to be covered by the water, the
cheaper can it be obtained.
The outside world may not know that
Pomona has quite an extensive candy
factory, but such is the case. The Po-
mona candy factory is a coming institu-
ton and does frst-class work on an ex-
tensive scale. A candy factory, cigar
factory and hose coupling and sprink-
Ter factory is a pretty good start, and
when the San Antonio Electric Light
and Power company begins to furnish
power for machinery we will see some
more factories in operation here.
Everybody says that Lordsburg is the
proper junction for the Lordsburg, Po-
mona, Chino and South Riverside branch
of Of the Santa Fe. IT'S coming by.and-
by, and the time is not far away.
The engines of the Chino sugar fac
tory are. being reset or refined, as they
were not set upon true level in the
first place. This is said to have been
the cause of the breaking of two or three
shafts last summer, causing delays of
greater or less duration.
Strangers Will come to Pomona, and
while there is no perceptible boom in
real estate come is being sold right
along, and every body that comes here is
most highly pleased. Pomona is nat
