Persistent Opposition to the Motor Road.
Cases Of Chambers.

SANTA ANA, Dec. 5.-Sam Hill is still
in deadly opposition to the street motor,
having fought it all the way up Main
street, now, when afforded an opportun-
ity, he fights its extension on Fourth
street. All the property owners on
Fourth street, including Mr.. Hill, agreed
that street formerly occupied by the
street railway.
Arrangements were made and the
consent of all interested parties obtained
except Mr.. Hill for Mr.. Tole to relay the
railway track previous to the paving
operation. 1t now seems that Mr.. Hill
has notified the contractor that If the
track be laid on his part Of said street
he will not pay for the paving thereof.
But in spite Of Mr.. Hill's manifesto, the
track work goes bravely on. Tole SIM
ply cuts tie into two lengths. laying
these half lengths on the south half of
the track and spiking down only one
rail- He says Mr.. Hill can go on and
pay for his half of the pavement now.
but when the time comes to extend the
service of the motor she will run in front
of Mr.. Hills store just the same. There
as yet have been no raZors in the air,
but possibly something lively may yet
occur. 1t is due to Mr.. Tole to state
that almost unanimous public senti-
ment says, "Give us the motor on Fourth
street, Mr.. Hill is not Santa Ana"
