SANTA ANA.
The Supervisors Decline to Invest In
Fumisators--Notcs.
SANTA ANA, Jan. 17.-Business has
been very quiet at the county Offices
today, and the overworked officers have
had time to gain little rest. Not
q single case was instituted today or
even marriage license issued in the
clerks Office, while but few instru-
ments we're recorded.
The board of supervisors adjourned
last evening, after session OF much
activity. They denied the request of
the horticultural commission, which
asked the board to purchase fumigating
tents, although the district attorney ad.
vised the board that it had legal right
to purchase thrm. This is thought by
citizens to be q great mistake, for the
orange industry is of the greatest i'm
portance in this county, and the saving
Of few hundred dollars in the purchase
of appliances for the protection Of it is
very poor economy.
The request OF Col. e. +. Edwards,
asking the county to purchase the Tus--
tin hotel property for $1S 900, the place
to be used as hospital, was denied.
A petition IL to be drawn up by the
district attorney and signed by the
chairman of the board of supervisors,
asking the legislature to take some ac-
tiou on the deputy question.
After the transaction of other uDim-
portant business, the board adjourned
to meet again on Monday of next week.

lar session last night, all the members

! Complaint was made that the odorless
excavator was being operated in busi-
ness hours, much to the inconvenience
of residents of this CITY,, The board de-
cided to remedy the matter, and see
that the excavator did its work only
during the houra OF the night.
