These Waters Still Raging - New c
Board

These Waters Still Raging - New Council
SANTA ANA, April 16.-The city
board of trustees met last night with a
full board present.
The first business was the liquor ordin-
ance No. 1872, known as the Pomona
ordinance. This was read by the clerk,
and the ordinance was passed.
On motion the time for the ordinance
to go into effect was set at June 1, 1895.
Your correspondent interviewed the
saloon proprietors today in regard to
what they proposed to do in the matter,
as it had been intimated that all of them
would close up and go out of the business.
We found all, with the exception of one,
will close up and quit the business.
This one would quit at the same time
the rest of them do, but his business is
in such complicated condition that he
is forced to hold on short time.
We have now six saloons in our city
that pay $500 into the city treasury each
year and by the new ordinance each sa-
loon will have to pay $500 per year.
There will not be more than two saloons
at most that will keep running even after
matters get adjusted to the new order of
things. That will give us revenue of
$1,000.
Ordinance No. 2O5 relative to voting
bonds for an electric light plant was read
for the first time.
: The committee on .the investigation of
the report that the city water system was
connected with the Sturgeon, reported
that he found a complete circuit between
the two systems by three-ipch pipe, but
he stated he was unable to state whether
it was done accidentally or intentionally
Mr.. Spurgeon, the owner of the private
system, appeared before the board and
made a fair and concise statement of
facts, and said he wanted a thorough in
vestigation of the matter.
Mr.. Spurgeon thought it was unfair to
make an investigation and report with
out giving Mr.. Drake, the lessee of the
private system, a chance to be heard and
to introduce evidence. Mr.. Sturgeon
and Mr.. Drake have offered everything
that is fair in the matter.
The board took no action on the report.
The matter was on motion referred to the
incoming board.
Tho old board then adjourned sine die.
The new board was then sworn in by
the city clerk and took. their seats.
On motion of Trustee Hervey Mr.. G. A
Hunt was elected chairman.
Mr.. Spurgeon again appeared before the
board and asked that committee be ap-
pointed to make thorough investigation
of this question of a connection between
the two water systems, with power to act.
On motion of Mr.. Hervey, the chairman
and Trustee Garner were appointed to
make such investigation and report at
next meeting.
The following went to La Fiesta today:
