Lively Proceedings Of the Supervisors.
Notes.
SANTA ANA, Oct. 30.-The board oil
su pervisors were in session today. and
a great portion OF the time was spent
talking over the river Improvements
that are in progress.
w. HI. Spurgeon was before the board
and asked that more adequate protec-
tion be given the grade on Fifth street,
west of the river.
Doctor Head also thought that the
grade should be better protected, as the
grade was the road that connected Gar
den Grove and Westminster with Santa
Ana, and that the grade that joins on to
the bridge is liable to be carried away
by the first high water.
Mr.. Finley thought that wooden
bulkhead could be put in that would
render the necessary protection, pro-
vided it was of sufficient height.
Mr.. Spurgeon thought that such
bulkhead could be constructed for
about $500.
Ii. II. Roper favored, putting in a
bulkhead close to the river.
SPIRITED TALK.
At this point Mr.. Armor joined in the
discussion. He said that he had never
had any sectional feelings in this mat
ter; that there had already been $25OO
spent on that grade, and that he had
never raised an objection; but in this
matter he had been of the opinion that
the work should be supervised by one
man, and that the supervision had
kz IL 60 Etplau AT
this point he did not think it the proper
thing to do to take the work out OF Mr..
Finley's hands and spend the money in
little driblets here and there.
Hawkins appeared t. think this an
attack on himself, and in his defense
said he did not want to control the an
tire work on the river, but that he did
want to control that being done in his
district az he thought he knew more
about it than Mr.. Finley, having done
considerable "monkeying" ON the river
at that point.
Surveyor Finley said that he had been
abused great deal since he had begun
on the river improvement, and that Mr..
Hawkins had appeared to take delight
in bringing people to where the work
was being done. and had told all sorts OF
stories about the changes in the river
bed, and would say to them that had he
known that he would not have had con-
troll OF the work that he weuld not have
voted a single cent appropriation. He
wanted the levee built close to the river
bank, Mr.. Finley said that he would
act in the matter as the board might in
struct him, but while acting on his own
responsibility he would follow his
original plans.
Armor moved that the surveyor be in
etructed to use extra precaution In the
work west OF the Fifth-street bridge,
without interfering with his original
plans. An amendment was offered by
Hawkins, but it Yves lost, and the or
iginsl motion was carried.

pany have secured the contract for the
