The following, in reference to the board of

clipped from the Pomona Times:
The board of trade met last night; average
number present; President Brady in the chair.
Col. ]. L. Rowland reported that the olive
tower had been finished nicely and shipped

The Covina road matter was presented by
Messrs Browne and McComas. Supervisor j.
w. Cook was present and stated some OF the
legal and financial difficulties encountered in
the case. He pointed out the value of the road
10 large extent of country, including Glen
dora and Azusa, as well as Covina and Pomona.
About 5000 damages had been claimed for
right of way, and as much more would be re-
quired to put it in passable condition. lie as
sured the board he would do all he could, but
the great difficulty was that under the new
road law the necessary funds all had TO come
from the road district in which the road lay,
and in this case ii would take the entire fund
OF San Jose township, which could not be done
in justice TO other parts OF the district. He
pointed out, however, how he thought the
road could be secured at an early day, and
efforts on that line will be made. 1t is prOba-
BILE that some who claim damages may be in
duced TO give the right OF way. There is no
doubt but Mr.. Cook will use every effort in his
power to get thp road.
Miss MABEL {. Fiizwater has resigned rs
teacher in the Pomona city schools There is
a rule in force by our board of education which
excludes married women from teaching, so she
went to Santa Anl where there is no such rule
and applied for n position as teacher, stating
fully her reason for the desire to change Her
move w0s fully understood by superintendent
MolyneauX and members OF our board After
making hcfpersonal application to the city
superintendent of Santa Ana, he requested her
to apply in writing and state the facts so her
application may be property placed before The
board In perfect SoOu faith she complied
and to her astonishnent soon after saw her
letter in full iii a Los Angeles daily and the
Santa Ana Blade The letter was written to
the superi rtendent at his request and he then
had the ineXcusablc impolltenesS to let it be
published verbatim. He pleads that il was
copied while he read II TO the board, but that
story is very thin. Miss Fitzwater is a good
teacher, and stap6s well in Pomona in all re-
spects What does the city superint tendent OF
Santa Ana think OF himself in this behalf?
