Impurity OF City Water Discusscd-A
Saloon Protest.
REDLANDs, Nov. Is DIR. Wheat, Sec
retary OF the board OF health, appeared
before the city trustees last night and
discussed the matter Of the alleged i'm
purity of the city water as furnished by
the Domestic Water company. This
company's reservoirs are cleaned semi
annually, and that which is taken from
them is. to say the least, filthy mess.
good deal of fault has been found with
the company for not cleaning its reser-
voirs oftener and having more regard for
its water supply. This state OF affairs
led DR.. Wheat to send a sample OF the
water to an expert chemist in Los An
geles, who, after examination, pro-
nounced it the pureHt water in Southern
California, although there was. he said,
trace of animal matter in it.
H. W. Allen, representing the water
company, was foroeful enough in his re-
marks to convince the city fathers that
the water in the main pipe contained
and surface pipes. Mr.. Allen stated
that the reservoir would again be cleaned
out without delay, therefore the board
took no action regarding tho matter.
A communication from E. g. Judson
was read, complaining of bills being
posted on electric light poles as contrary
to the city ordinance. The matter was
referred to the city marshal.
Three unused lamp posts near the
business portion of town we're ordered
to be taken up.
Time was extended to April 1st, next,
for cutters to be laid on either side of
State street from Fourth to Church.
The board gave hearing to Charles
Spates, an old man of about 70 years.
who implored it to take measures to
close the one saloon in town. He pre-.
sented petition containing about $50
signatures, asking that this be done.
Garland's motion and McGinnis' second
caused the matter to be laid on the
table, where it will probably stay as
long as the present board is in power.
Trustee Fowler introduced an ordi-
nance appointing a commission to levy
damages and benefits relating to the ex-
tension of State street.

Board oT Trade and the Sewer QUESTION

Beard sf Trade and the Sewer QUESTION.
Notes.
SANTA MONICA. Nov. 15.-There was an
enthusiastic meeting OF the board OF
trade held at the town hall last night,
at which goodly number of our citizens
were present, presided over by r. F..
Jones.
The first question considered was how
to increase the effectiveness and in.
huence of the organization, brought
about by q resolution introduced by Mr..
w. s. Sohee, which was unanimously
adopted, and empowered q committee
appointed by the chair, consisting of
Messrs. W. s. Schee, H. G. Weyse, F.
II. Wells, M. H. Kimball and F. L..
Simons. and the president and secretary
ex-officio, to devise some plan to carry
into effect the above deeideratum.
A committee consisting of Messrs. W.
E. Lester, @. F. Schader. W. III. Dow
sing, Robert Eckert and H. X. Goetz
were appointed to look after the matter
of sewers, to wait upon our local eolons
and get them to call an election, if pos
sible, This is q good move, for from
every section of the town one can hear
the question, Why don't our trussees
get move on in the matter?
A committee consisting OF j. B. Proc
tor, I. H. James, Roy Jones and ]. g.
Hemingway, was appointed to secure
exhibits for proper display at the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce rooms.
This is Q most excellent move. The
gentlemen in charge Of the chamber
have promised US all the space We can
creditably fill, and the committee when
they 90 among our people should be
met with open arms.
The Maccabees held an open meeting
at the opera house last evening, at which
E. B. Woodwork presided and to which
the public pretty generally turned out,
filling the hall to overlooking. Mrs. A..
III. Niedg made an address on the la
dies branch OF the order and kindred
topics. There were refreshments of O
substantial character and an i'm mpromptu
dance. The order is in healthy and
growing condition, with new candidates
initiated at each meeting, and every
prospect of large hive OF industrious
bees instituted soon.
1t does seem to your correspondent
that it would be good idea to have GER
tain absolutely necessary work done by
our street superintendent before the
winter rains set in. II it is not done, the
expense will be increased three or four
fold, Among those pressing for imme-
diate attention are the fixing OF the bank
or bluff on Ocean avenue, where the
garbage was formerly dumped; then
there are five or six culverts and cross
walks which should be put in at once.
The street superintendent is anxious to
70 ahead, but the street com mittee
hesitate on account of the hard timee
and small amount in the treasury.

TOPEKA (Kas.). April 6.-The State
School Fund Commissioners, comprising
Attorney General Lyttle, Secretary of
State Osborne and Superintendent of
Public instruction Gaines, were found
to-day to have invested $1,000 of the
school fund in Kearney County bonds,
held by Eastern parties, and repudiated
nv the county, and $4,000 in Hamilton
County bonds, owned by George w.
Craine of this city, and also repudiated.
Hamilton and hearney Counties are in
the extreme eastern section of the State,
and the bonds were all issued for refund
inJ nurposes and repudiated several years
auo. since which time they have not had
a market value. The State Commission
ers bought them at par and accrued inter-
est. The Hamilton County bonds were
sold bv Craine a week ago at sixty cents
on the dollar to j. B. Lindsay, attorney
for the f,tna Insurance Company, which
owns sec. 600 of similar refunding bonds
of this county. and brought suit two

discovered on Thursday last that the ulti
mate purchaser OF his bonds was the
State school fund, and Immediately
turned over the money received Tor them
to the State Treasurer to be held IN trust
until the validity OF the bonds Is de-
ternined by the courts. Governor
I,ewellinois ont of the city, butt is stated
that when he learned of the purchases he
