ASKS FOR FAIR ASSESSMENT,
WHICH PROVES TO BE RAISE

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 10
Under the belief that his property had
been assessed with taxes amounting to
$50, Sumner Wright, a Well-known
business man of this city, appealed to
the board of supervisors with the de-
mand that it be reduced to $40, which
he considered a fair assessment. The
board, after listening to the arguments
advanced, agreed and voted that the
assessment be placed at $40 Later de-
velopments resulted in the discovery
that the property originally had only
been assessed to the extent of $50, and
while laborlng under the impression
that he was praying for q decrease
the owner was requesting an increase
of SO taxes. Mr.. Wright says he will
let the matter stand as 1t is.

MAYOR FARLEY ENDS
WATER NEGOTIATIONS
ADDRESSES FINAL LETTER TO
OPPOSITION
Plans for Coming Bond Election to
Raise Money to Buy Plants
Will Now Progress
Rapidly
Especial to The Herald.l

PASADENA, Aug. 1O.-The final
touch to the demise of the water ques-
tion conference committee negotiations
was given today by Mayor Thomas
Farley In no uncertain fashion. The
Waterhouse people thought they had
ended it when they sent the last letter
to the administration refusing to agree
to any of the mayors ideas and calling
Off the negotiations. But they reck-
oned without the mayor. In a COM
munication addressed to Edmond d.
Barry, chairman of the Waterhouse
committee, the mayor says "As l
commenced the negotiations with your
committee, I now declare them closed.
The council and myself will now take
the matter in hand in our own way,
with a view to acquiring municipal
ownership of the water plants in the
CITY,"
In the letter the mayor pays tribute
to the five members of the committee
of twenty-one who held out for some
sort of a compromise with the admin
istration, saying they worked faithfully
to secure the settlement of disputed
points.
Mayor Dlvides Opposition
This has started a storm of recrimin-
ations in the opposition camp. One
member of the committee said today:
''Well, I see the mayor has had his
way. He has succeeded in splitting up
our crowd. He has got around some
members of the committee who voted
against the last letter we sent, and
that is what he was after all along.
There was almost an oath taken that
none of us would divulge the doings
any meeting without the sanction of
the whole committee, and yet some of
those who voted against that letter
have been talking Wen fight the
bonds to a finish, and beat them worse
this time than we did before
Mayor Farley does not take this
view of it, In his letter he explains
that his sole idea was to secure if pos
sible a harmonious consideration of
the best way to secure possession of
the water plants of the city for the
benefit of the people.
Work will be begun at once on plans
for the bond issue election, which will
undoubtedly be held some time after
the coming October There is no qI,es-
tion that the election will be fought
bitterly by the Waterhouse people.

Tied up C. & N. W.

Tne North Western ran up against
an injunction at Stambaugh this week.
The railroad company recently graded
spur track leading from the main
line near the Stambaugh round house
along the river bank TO the Caspian
mine. The limo crosses the property
OF Louis Dober and others and IL seems
that the railroad company made no ar
rangements with the property owners
before doing the grading.
The grade was all ready for the rails
when the property owners swore out
an injunction restraining the company
from laying the rails until they had
made arrangements with the land swn-
ers for the privilege.
The new tracks to the Caspian mine
are made necessary by tho caying OF
the surface which Is rendering the old
tracks useless.
IL is probable that the matter will
be adjusted very soon and the rails
laid.

presence Of another person In the seat

The call OF the cases on the docket
Monday morning showed but one case
ready FOR trial, that OF the village
OF Stambaugh VS. Sipohen ct ell, a con.
domination case not on the calendar.
The two criminal cases were put
over the term as were also the other
cases with the exception OF the one
mentioned.

ready for trial so as to allow the jury.

IRON TRADE cURTAILEDr
Holiday Spirit Responsible For the Decrease,
OF Business.


The holiday spirit was responsible
for further curtailment of business In
the iron trade last week, and the un-
derourrent In both raw and finished
products was weaker. One eastern
manufacturer placed q contract fer
local ore calling for about 80, 600 tons
month the second quarter OF 1910 and
few smaller contracts also were clos
ed. Coke ovens and blast furnace in
terests are still at variance and hence
very few additional contracts for COKE
are being placed. Dullness has been
the most prominent feature in pig iron
circles Orders have been small. The
total sales have not exceeded 10. 600
tons.
Railroads have been little more
active in the placing OF orders for
equipment, including the buying OF
4. 800 cars and 40 locomotives Nearly
o, 600 cars and ilS locomotives are now
under negotiation. Rail orders have
been relatively light, aggregating only
1000 tons. Bridge orders also have
been small, the principal one being
.. 500 tons for the Southern railway
