feeling of the growers towards such an
association, and that In the canvas
which he had made there were in all in
the proposed territory about 600 acres
of lemon orchards owned by about
eighty growers. He gave plans and
methods for managing such an associa-
ton, and also spoke of the use of the
culls In the manufacture of citric acid
and oil of lemon. After some further
discussion by Mr.. Allen, James Craig

result OF his experience as a member of
the Glendora association. Mr. Craig
stated that he had been a lemon grower
for about fourteen years. and used to
have good success in marketing his
lemons when they were rot as plenty IS
now. But stree he had Joined the asso-
citation at Glsndora he had found out
that he did not know much about either
growing or marketing lemons and he
had been learning from the association.
He thought the assoo<<tion was sue
cess and that it was the proper way to
market our lemons.
The growers present concluded that II
Mr.. Craig, with his experience, had to re-
learn SO much. it was time to form an
association. After some further dis

gether After many expressions of sat
isfaction that the matter was progress
ing so fevorably the meeting adjourned.
meeting of citizens was held this
afternoon in the board of trade rooms
for the considierat ton Of street sprinkling.
The meeting had been called by A. r.
Metcalfe and other public spirited citi-
zers. who think that there is something
a little slow about the present system.
Councilman H. G. Reynold was chosen
chairman and Ralph Strong secretary.
Mr. Metcalfe said that though he had
no censure for the city council in re-
gard to It's, policy of street sprinkling, he
thought that some thing should be done
to better the condition on Sundays. c.
c. Brown said that the streets should
not be lightly sprinlSled, but wet down
thoroughly. so that the dirt will pack.
If this Is done thoroughly on Saturday
night. there Will be no need for sprink-
ling on Sunday. The laboring man
ought to have Sunday for rest. Mr.
Dobbins advocated the hiring of Jew
to work on Sunday, so that 1t could be
done on that day as we'll as any other
day. e. E. Spaulding thought it made
no difference whether the sprinkling
was done on Saturday or Sunday If 1t
was done right f. s. Wallace advo-
Gated sprinlkling by night, especially dur
ing the summer nights. T. ]. Martin
was opposed to Sunday work, and would
like to see the carts run until midnight
ON Saturday. Other gentlemen were op-
posed to Sunday work; some thought
the council should be asked for better
service araS~ the manner Of doing the
work left to them: other gentlemen rea-
soned that the sprinkling man would
willingly work ON Sunday and be glad
enough of the chance to fully earn his
wages. A motion was finally made by
c. d. Daggett that 1t be the sense of the
meeting that the board of trustees be re-
quested to keep the leading thorough
fares free from dust on holidays and
f1,ovy tf ~ w ~
sprinkle on Sundays. The motion was
amended by the addition of the sugges-
ton that as much as possible of the
Sunday sprinkling be done on Satur-
day night. The motion was then passed
by a unanimous vote.
