II it could so arrange and deemed it ex-
pedient, to take cognizance of and to
certain extent control the matter Of aid
ing the poor in actual need of our city
by giving them work or in some way
best suited to their ideas. 1t was the
sense of the board that they have moth
ing to do with the matter in an official
way.
Mr.. Allen P. Nichols, on the part of
the Pomona Land and Water company,
presented full, unlimited certificate to
the park grounds, dedication of certain

Z O'Clock Thursday night to finish up
this matter.
The contract for repainting the street
boards on the Kingsley tract was let to
Monger & Lee, there being no other bid.
Bids for the new vault addition, etc,
were then opened and read. The award
of the wood work, ETC., was given to l..

The funeral OF the late Mrs. E. H.

There will be novel concert and lunch
entertainment at the M. E. church on
the night of the 18th inst, for the BEN
eft OF the needy.
Mrs. Mel Campbell has gone to Wis
consin to attend to aome business affairs
and will be absent few weeks.
Everyone who attends the entertain
ment at the Methodist church on next
Tuesday evening, given for the benefit
of the needy OF our city, is expected to
bring either pound of provisions or 10
cents for door fees. Then, after this is
over, lunch will be served for 10 cents.
OF course many will purchase lunch
tickets as well as door admission who
will perhaps not attend. The idea is to
get up quite q sum OF money by q very
small assessment upon the public, be-
sides, however, an enjoyable programme
will be presented for the entertainment
of those who are present.
Superintendent James of the Western
Union and an accompanying party were
up yesterday on an inspecting tour.
1t is thought that the Associated
Chasities of Pomona, if its existence be
prolonged, will go manage that no more
imposition will be played upon it by
undeserving, their aim being to render
aid only TO those in actual want among
our own citizens, and even in that Civ
ing preference to those with families.
In short, all able-bodied persons must
learn their bread by the sweat of the
brow"
The HERALD man ran across an en-
thusiastic stranger-an easterner-in
our midst today.
Seeing us out on our delivery, started
the conversation: edo you know" the
gentleman remarked, "the Los Angeles
papers show good deal of enterprise in
treating Pomona 8 and the various places
news go well. 1t speaks we'll for them
and Pomona, too.
"You people don't advertise your i'm
mediate vicinity enough, though. In
my opinion Pomona is the cream OF the
San Gabriel valley; and your hotels,
why you've got one OF the most home
like and comfortable hotels I've found,
and I've visited the various points
roundabouts." he said, pointing to the
Palomares. Sat least I've found it so.
This is the second winter I've sojourned
here--the first came because had
friend here. Pomonans perhaps don't
realize the Importance of having their
town represented in the Los Angeles
papers. Upon coming out here, wher-
ever you are, you can pick up one OF
these papers and learn of Pomona"
