SANTA ANA, May 16.-In Governor
Pardee's reply to the resolutions sent
by the members of the bar assoca-
ton of Orange county, he states that
although he regrets the necessity of q
succession of holidays, such action has
been based upon the principle of hav-
ing regard for the greatest good of the
greatest number. and its object has
been not merely to protect the interests
of San Francisco, San Jose and Santa
Rosa, but to safeguard the welfare of
all the people of the state.
The governor further states that, II
the banks were compelled to open for
business, they could not pay checks
and meet their obligations, although
they have, in their inaccessible vaults,
the money to do so.
This would. in the eyes of the law,
be technical insolvency." the letter
states, land the bank commissioners
would. under the law, be compelled to
take charge of such banks and bring
suit to wind up their affairs This
would, they tell me. cause financial
panics and distress throughout the
state. Therefore, the bank commits
sioners strongly advise me to continue
the holidays"

that the movement on the part of the

on to the edge Of the bay will result
in the extension of the road down the

SAN PEDRO, May 16.-At a meeting
of the city council held last night the
matter of placing a tax of $25 per
month, which is practically prohibitive,
OH fruit and vegetable peddlers who do
not live in the town was presented in
the form of a petition by the retail
grocers for consideration. Several of
the grocers were present to insist on
the ordinance, but it was directly op-
posed by one member of the board and
finally went over until the next meet
ing. The peddlers already have to
pay a tax of 81 per month. Many of
the people of the town are much op-
posed to the new tax, claiming that it
is to give the local grocers trust and
that they sell goods higher than the
outsiders. The grocers say that the
peddlers sell much fruit which has
been ruled off of the Los Angeles
markets.
Contention has arisen in the halls of
the labor council here over the state
ment that the new superintendent of
streets has been hiring "scab" labor,
and a resolution was offered to the city
board last night to have that body look
into the matter. AS the new members
of the board are all union men and
elected by that element it behooved
them to take action in the matter and
resolution was passed directing the
superintendent to look into the matter
with a hint to see that his men here
after were members of the union.
Word has been received here that

ERRORS SPOIL
BOND ELECTION
SAN BERNARDIN0 IS IN A
cUANDARY
M achinery Will Be Set in Motion at
Once, II Is Thought, for New
Street Improve
nentS
Special to The Herald.


SAN BERNARDINO, May ia
sen sation was sprung here tonight
when it was discovered that number
of fatal errors exist in the call for the
street improvement bond election which
was to have been held on Saturday OF
this week, a conference of the city
officials following the discovery result
ing in the calling off of the election.
The published call for the election in
the official newspaper of the city was
found to be filled with errors some of
them being of a serious character, such
as would invalidate any election or pre-
vent the sale of any bonds if they had
been voted.
The. bond election was originated by
the board of trade, but from the start
there has been an undercurrent against
the bonds that threatened to defeat
them at the election, the opposition be-
ing based on purely political reasons.
City Attorney Swing tonight agreed
that tthe election would be invalid if
held.
A special meeting of the city council
will be held in the morning to call off
the election.
1t is possible the machinery will be
at once set in motion to call new elec-
tion as the street improvements are
greatly desired by a very large major
ity of the citizens.
