Trouble About Street Paving-.- Railroad
1atters
SANTA ANA May 1.-The street car
company ran against snag today IN the
shape of a notice from the street superin-
tendent to the effect that the men in
charge of the work are not doing the
work according to the specifications. The
same notice that was served on the work
men was also served on the president of
the road. Mr.. Bundy. The question now
is, what will the railway company
do? The company; instead of
using cement and gravel for
and gravel from near Tustin. There is a
question about whether this clay. thor
oughly tamped, is not equal to cement
around the ties. They intended to use
cement and gravel on the sides but not
between the rails. There is some talk of
an injunction being served or the COM
pany. but the board will have to be called
together before the city attorney will issue
the necessary papers. 1t is expected that
there will be lively times before
the street railway is paved. The
company was nrlered to straighten
their track. and in doing so the track is
pushed close up to one side of the pave
ment and leaving about three Feet or more
on the other side, and as the company is
to pave but two feet on each side of its
track, this will leave foot on one side
that is not paved. The question now
arises who who will pay for paving that
extra foot. This is a joke on the city
trustees, and Mr.. Bundy seems to enjoy
it more than the trustees do.
DR.. J. G.. Bailey reported today that
yesterday about 10 o'clock three Span
iards. two of whom were masked, the
other was not. came to his house on his
ranch. where r. }. Morea lived, and were
bent on doing some kind of mischief.
The two who wore masks came to the
Morea, who, it seems, was not to be
found but Mrs. Morea was in the house.
and hid behind the bed. The two
masked men searched the house
and swore that they would get
Morea sooner or later. The woman was
scared nearly out of her senses when the
man who was not masked standing at the
gate whistled, when all three made their
escape. The sheriff was notified and
went in search of the guilty. parties, and
it is thought they are spotted and will
soon be brought to justice.
1t is rumored on the street that the
Southern Pacific Railway Company has
bought out Noah Palmer's interest in the
street railway company. and will connect
the track with the Southern Pacific track
and run smokeless motor and con lect
with a road to run to Long Beach. A
number OF Southern Pacific officials have
been nosing around and trying to pur-
chase a lot on or near the corner of
Fourth and West streets, presumably for
"a depot. 1t seems Mat our city is on the
eve of a good healthy boom.
