OCEAN PARK, July 26.-That at Mon
day evenings meeting of the board of
city trustees the three remaining trus-
tees will take steps to annul the action
of the board last Monday night in set
ting the date of the proposed disincor-
poration election eight months ahead,
and will proceed to have the election
held within the next sixty days, is the
opinion of persons having an insight into
city hall affairs, who expressed them
selves today on the subject.
Trustees Burks and Jones are heart
lily disguised with the whole affair" said
an official, land they will probably &C
cede to the demands of the voters now
that they have proved to them that it
is largely optional with the board wheth-
err or not 1t gives recognition to the
disincorporation element"
From other sources the opinion is ex-
pressed that the board will vote A. R.
Fraser of the Ocean Park Improvement
company to one of the empty chairs and
that Abbot Kinney would have the re-
fusaI of the other.
May Start Suit
At the headquarters of the local trade
organization it was openly given out
that mandamus proceedings to compel
the board to call the election at an early
date were being considered and that such
action would undoubtedly be taken If
Monday evenings trustee meeting did
not have a favorable effect on those who
want to see the city on new base OF
government
Announcement was made today by per-
sons acquainted with the movements OF
those who are agitating disincorporation
that an action at law would be Instituted
at once by ]. F. Tenny, resident, to
restrain the trustees from passing favor
ably on the demand of City Attorney
Anderson for $500, which amount the city
attorney has submitted claim for in
payment of his legal services in defend
ing the board against sewer injunction
proceedings instituted by the citizers.
The contention is stated to be that
Anderson cannot lawfully drew from the
city more than his stipulated salary of
$50 per month, regardless of any extra
volume of work he may be called to
perform
At least two specific instances, 1t is
said, have been brought to light where
Anderson received extra pay for special
services to the city.
