H. Graber, J. E. Packard, ]. E. Nc

j. E. Packard reported that survey
for a sewer line had been made through
the Spadra hills, by direction OF the city
council. and such line vas found i'm
practicable.
1t was stated that Mr.. Peter Fleming
had made offers to take care of the city's
sewage, but nothing definite was known
regarding it..
1t appeared to the board that as some
/ members OF the ctr council did not
seem to be in favor of any sewerage ays-
tenn, that much could not be accom-
plished to that end until new council
men were elected.
Mr.. Keller reported for the fruit com
mittee that 20 jars Of olives had been
presented for the worlds fair exhibit,
and 20 for the board of trades exhibit
in it's rooms here.
Mr.. Frank Virgins, secretary of the
Southern California worlds fair associa-
tion, in communication TO the presi-
dent of the Pomona board of trade, Phil
Stein, which was read. stated that the
association would place citrus fruit on
exhibition at the worlds fair, sell the
same, while in good condition and re-
NIT to the exhibitor the balance of the
proceeds after deducting the expenses
and transportation, at half rates, no
commission being charged.
1t was the opinion of the board that
much fruit could be obtained on such
liberal terms.
Mr.. Geo. F. Ferris and Mr.. A. G..
Wiess were elected members.
1t was thought to be to the best inter
ests of Pomona, as whole, that the dis
sensions over the saloon question be set
tied by gene al vote OF the whole city
at the coming election, the majority rul-
ing.
| With this end in view the board
recommends that the city board of trus.
tees order the election of trustees at the
| April election in such way.
A committee of three, J. E. Packard, +,
j. H. Graber and F. B. King, were ap-
pointed to present the matter at the
meeting of the city council tonight.
| In the words Of the able secretary
of the board OF trade, the action
of the Los Angeles Times in the
matter of county division was "cussed
and discussed" by the members in pri-
vate, the greater majority of those pres
ent averring their disposition to stop
their su descriptions to the Times and to
use their influence in getting others to ;
it being thought best not to use any
official urging in the matter, but to
trust to our citizens sense of what is
right, feeling sure they would use this
"Gouble back action" as it were, an
only course to pursue, as conclusion
was come to that the Times never had
and probably never would be friendly to
our interests.
The military boys were out in their
best bib and tucker last evening at the
impromptu dance given by them at Ar
mory hall, being one of the most enjoy
able affairs of the kind of this seaeon or
"this year" for that matter. 1t was
participated in by the fashionable soce-
ty of our city, and in every way proved
an enjoyable evening.
Miss E. A. Wade has been spending
the holidays with friends in Cucamonga
and returned today.
The HERALD reporter passed delight
