POMONA

POMONA, Aug. 5.-CRegular Correspon-
dence.) 1t is still Councilman Raynes and
will continue so until the next regular
meeting of the board of city trustees, to be
held the first Tuesday in September, the
board laying Raynes' resignation over un-
til that time. in view of the fact that legal
complications might arise should the board
fail to appoint successor on the board
before Monday next, at which time the
trustees are to sit as a board of equiliza-
ton.
At the meeting of the city trustees this
afternoon a warm discussion was indulged
in over the claim by Attorney Fleming for
a s. typewriting bill for copies of certain
ordinances furnished by him. Chairman
Patterson thought the claim both exorbi-
tant in amount as well as out of place in
the city attorney presenting any such
claim, when he is paid a regular salary
and stated that he would never vote to pay
one cent of it, inasmuch as such action
would only open the door for hosts of like
bills against the city. Trustee Hinman
however thought that the citys ordi-
nances should be written on typewriter
and the methods of twenty years ago be
abolished: and. Furthermore he stated. if
in the future the city did not desire to pay
such claims instructions could be given the
city attorney that typewriter copies were
not desired by the trustees. The roll being
called the claim was allowed over Patter-
sons veto. An adjournment was then
taken until p. m. Monday next, with the
understanding that the trustees meet as an
equalizing board on Monday morning at
10 o'clock.
