from the assessment heretofore maoe
Tor laying cement sidewalk and curping
and gutter in front of the above oe-
scribed property on the ioiiowlns
grounds, viz: That heid sidewalk, cufp
and gutter are not constructed IN accoiu-
snce with specifications, and upon tne
further ground that the work 10 imper-
fectly done, and to pay for the same
in it's present condition would WORK

BY G. NJ. Simpson, Atty,
Upon motion OF Mr.. Hamilton the
time for hearing ell parties Interested
in the above complaint VAS SET Ior
Monday afternoon. July 23d, at p. M,
aud the clerk was instructed to notiiy
the disputants.
Two petitions were received asking Tor
the appointment of inspectors Tor the
paving OF Fair Oaks between Union
street and Colorado ; one representing 400
feet asked that A. +. Mills be appointed
and another with 100 feet frontage aeKeo
that Peter Steil be appointed. owing
to the fact that the request was not
unanimous the council refused to APP
point anyone, and upon motion the
matter was indefinitely postponed. AS
the provisions of the contract call ior
the appointment of the inspector by the
council it sesms likely that their iaiiure
to act will delay the work considerably.
A petition from M. A. Hall to be al
lowed to erect q corrugated iron add
ton to his building, IFS East Colorado
street, was denied upon motion OF MIR.
Need.
A communication from the city clerk,
relative to assessments, was received
and referred to the city attorney ana
Trustee Cox.
THE FRUIT CROP.
In spite OF the general railroad tie-up
farmers in this section who have not
contracted their crops too early are re-
ceiving good prices and the tendency Is
generally upwards. There was an in
clination on the part of some buyers to
take advantage of the strike to bear the
market but the results of their efforts
were short lived and prices are going up
rapidly.
| Pasadena has four drying establish
ments which are working day and night
to take care of the apricots which have
ripened more rapidly this year than
usual. The cannery is also running tull
blast and ia taking all good fruit offered.
Prices are ranging from $l5 TO so per
ton for drying and from $40 to $50 Tor
canning, at which figures and apricot
orchard makes very good returns upon
the investment. The shortage in the
eastern crop is sure to create heavy
demand for the California article and
the packers fully realize this fact.
Titles IN about three weeks.
