The report of the management for
the last year was quite exhaustive but
rather obscure except % those who
have closely followed the finances of
the company. In round numbers the
Indebtedness of the company a year
ago was about $4,000 and the receipts
for the year have been a little over
$4,000. to the balance is added the
running expenses of the year which
makes the present indebtedness about
s31. 600 or about $1,000 less than a year
ago. 1t was also shown that to con-
tinue to do business for the next year
the company would require about 49,
900 for the following purposes: clean
ing ditch $4,000, interest $500, over
drafts $500. maintenance and repairs
1000, open accounts $4,000.
The revenue of the company must
come from water sales and that SUBJ
ject was next introduced. A finance
committee to recommend action on this
matter was appointed in the morning
consisting of II. 3. Wilkinson, Harry
Kay. H. Renaud. Dwight B. Heard and
Mr.. Shaw. This committee reported
recommending that the price for water
4Ol Ant tuSulIs StdSOu eLz0
per acre. the same charge made by the
government for service in the other
canals. 1t was further recommended
that no delinquent stakeholder should
receive water but that all stockholders
might become eligible or be reinstated
by settling their dellnquencies. The
committee also recommended that the
policy of the government be adopted
in that water should be sold only TO
those lands previously entitled to the
use of water. This was to stop the
selling of water to new lands that here
tofore had no established rights, thus
creating a dangerous recognition of
the rights of these lands, to the jeop-
ardiZing of the rights of older lands.
The report was adopted in the after
noon.
In the adoption OF this report how
ever there was a mixing of records or
a misunderstanding of just what was
finally done. so that inquiry last night
Of various persons present resulted in
a variety of opinions as to the final
action. 1t was urged by some that the
rate was all right for the year but
that the government might take
charge of the canal before the expira-
ton of the year and it was desired not
to confuse things by having the water
paid for in advance. A motion passed
therefore that the water be sold to be
paid for at the rate of fifty cents for
every three months. II this were prac-
ticed for nine months the rate of S1.25
would be exceeded while if only one or
two payments were made there might
be a shortage of money. So far as
could be ascertained last night there is
conflict of opinion the report recon-
mending s1.25 an acre having been
adopted. and similar action on the
resolution to pay fifty cents every
three months.

While speaking Of their financial
difficulties. Mrs. Otis testified that a
few weeks preceding the receipt of a
letter from her father. she had given
her husband $50. and in a short time
he had exhausted the sum through ex-
penditures at the hotel bar and in
friendly" games with other guests.
There were no children born to the
couple and with no estate to be set
tied on either side. the result of the
action was merely the granting of an
interlocutory decree.
Mrs. Otis has been warm friend of
Mrs. Ernest Kennedy, formerly Mrs.
Annie b. Truman, who secured a di-
vorce last year, the final decree being
granted a few days before she mar
ried Mr.. Kennedy June 1 of this year.
The two women We're married about
the same time, in Arizona, lived neigh
divorced almost within a year of each
other.
Mrs. Otis is the daughter of Joseph
f. Tilt, 4 wealthy automobile manu-
facturer and real estate owner of Chi
cago. and is strikingly beautiful. At
the Pasadena horse show, the flower
show, and other functions she was al
ways prominent. She will leave Re
dondo today for Phoenix Arizona,
where she will spend the winter for
her health. and in the spring will go
to Chicago to make her home with
her father.

ANNUAL MEETING OF
THE APPROPRIATIONS
Election of a New Directorate, the
Fixing of Water Rental and Pro-
gress of Movement to Sell the Canal
to the Government.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Appropriations Canal Co
was held yesterday in Melczer hall. AS
is customary with the meetings of the
Appropriations, it was an all day ses-
sion and lively one, though not quite
so dramatic as year ago. The reason
is that there is now a sort Of general
policy existing that the most of the
stockholders adhere to, though they
disagree very materially as to its de-
tails. while a year ago they were all
cropping around in the dark trying to
find the hallway that would lead to the
light. The general policy that nearly
all agree to now is TO sell the canal
TO the government, pay its debts and
go out of business. How to accomplish
these things is still the subject of dis
cussion and some factional opinions.
Primarily the purpose of the annual
meeting was to elect directors for the
ensuing year and next in order look
over the financial situation and figure
out the future.
The meeting was presided over by
President ]. P. Ivy, with Secretary
Emil CAM in charge of the books.
The credentials and other committees
were appointed and reported in due
time and after a day spent in talking
simultaneously about the various sub
jects, the voting was proceeded with
and was finished about dark. The
voting by stock was rather tedious
order of business but necessary one
and resulted in the election of the fol-
lowing directors by the votes accom-
panying: Charles Goldman 1919, ]. P.
Orme 1894, A N. F'redericks 1920.
Hosea Greenhaw Jr. 1856, H. NJ. We'll
born 1902. The other candidates who
also ran" were Dwight B. Heard, P.
T. Hurley. w. w. Cook. ]. w. Cren-
shaw and L. Fowler.
The two policies or questions in
which the public generally, aside from
the stockholders of the canal, has some
concern, are the project of selling the
canal to the government as has been
done by the other northside canal
companies, and the price of water
pending the perfection OF such a trans
action. Respecting the former II can
be best introduced by referring to a

UNHAPPY MATCH
MADE IN ARIZONA
The Wife Freed From a Careless Hus-
band, Returns to Phoenix.

Mrs Ada Otis of Los Angeles arriv-
ed in Phoenix yesterday and will
spend the winter in the valley. She
comes here after an unhappy married
experience. She was formerly the
wife of Thomas G. Otis. but a few
days ago she obtained a divorce from
him in Los. Angeles. The young
couple were married in Arizona in 1898
and an account of the sad ending of
her romance appears in the Examiner:
Charming Mrs. Ada Otis, noted
horsewoman and prominent in a social
way in Los Angeles. Redondo. Pasade-
ma and Chicago. appeared before Judge
James of the superior court yesterday,
told of her married woes and secured
a legal separation from Thomas G.
Otis. at one time well known in real
estate circles in Redondo. but at pres
cnt associated with Col. Epes Randolph
in his railroad business st Tucson,
Arizona.
The trouble in the Otis family ex-
tended over a considerable period and
related principally to money matters.
Mrs. Otis accused her husband of de-
sertion and non-suppOrt but back of
this were allegations of reckless ex-
and fondness for wines
and gambling.
The Otis wedding took place in
Arizona in 1898 and for some time the
couple lived there before coming to
southern California. There WAS no
serious breach between Mr. and Mrs.
Otis until June 1906.

Mabel Osgood Wright declares that
there is no other flower so completely
woven into the history of the human
race as the rose. 1t is fitting that the
rose should be the universal flower,
for it is one of the few blossoms that,
like true love itself, preserves its frag-

knows corruption. If its blooming time
