Proceedings of the Board of City Trus-
tees-Notes.
ANAHETM, Feb. 1.-The board of city
trustees met in regular session Tuesday
night. Absent, Trustees Rust and
Littlefield.
The chairman of the committee on
public Improvements was, at his re-
quest, authorized to have Burrnel Point
gravel hauled to raise the principal
crossings in town and to fill chuck holes
in the streets.
Mr.. Platt, the contractor for the new
city well, reported being down 204 feet
and in coarse gravelly formation, and
requested the board to order additional
pipe and have the we'll pushed on down
to solid clay formation. The special
committee on well was authorized to
order the necessary additional pipe and
have the work on the we'll continued.
This we'll is now deeper than any we'll
within the city limits and Mr.. Platt
expects that by going on to the next
clay strata and piercing the pipe a
strong stream OF water will be secured
that will rise very near the top of the
pipe if it does not flow over it. The
study of the formation at this depth
has been interesting.
The finance committee reported hav-
ing submitted draft of the electric
light and power franchise ordinance
drawrsby them to Messrs. Clemans &
Palmer, and that the same had been
approved as fair and just to all parties
concerned. Thereupon the franchise
was duly granted them and the city
attorney ordered to prepare an ordi-
nance to that effect. Work on the
electric plant iH to be commenced with
in 80 days and completed within four
months.
The bill of Mr.. Platt for 1915 bal
ance on contract for boring the first 200
feet of the city well was approved and
ordered paid.

on account of prolonged absence from
the city, was read and the same was ac-
cepted with regret and resolution of
thanks to Mr.. Littlefeld for long and
earnest work in the interests of the city
was passed. Adjourned to Tuesday,
February 9TH.
NOTES.
At the meeting of stockholders in the
Auaheim Beet Sugar company yesterday
there were 2172 shares represented, out
of the total subscribed OF 5000. The
only business that was to be transacted
was to vote on the proposition of issuing
100000 bonds of the corporation, to
build and equip the factory. The prop
osition was carried without dissenting
voice. 1t is stated on the best authority
that the money for the bonds is at
hand and contracts will at once be let
for the erection of the building and for
all the necessary machinery, the most
of which will be manufactured in this
country and portion in Germany.
The rain storm is over at last, and
the sun fs shining brightly today for the
first time since last Friday. Four inches
of rain was the precipitation for the
storm.
Today the water in the river has low
cred considerably and the new levee
recently constructed by our citizens
from the Olive bridge, running north
one mile, fortunately held back the
flood. Yesterday the water was within
six inches of the top of the levee, but
the latter stood like rock wall, proving
the work to have been excellently done.
81. @. Kellogg of Anaheim was the engi-
neer in charge OF the work.
Mr.. Ellis G. Kerr, advance agent for
Middaugh's musical comedy company
and gold band. was hare today, making
arrangements for the appearance of his
company at the opera house Wednesday
