Lake district, where his interests are
located.
1t was amply demonstrated that the
old board could also have reelected
President Willard, but he had decided
not to. be a candidate for the directo-
rate for another term. 1t has been
known for some time that it was doubt
full if he would again stand for cleo
ton, as it is his desire to retire from
active work, and take the world more
comfortably.
He announced early in the day that
he would not be candidate for re-
election, and he also announced that
Col. Byron H. Cook, secretary of the
company for number of years, would
also retire from his Office, which is a
distinct loss to the company, Col
Cook having been a valued head of
the clerical staff.
There was a highly amusing scene
at the meeting early in the day. The
credentials committee had not re-
ported and it was entirely out of or

held, in view Of this fact, that the

Mr.. Wilsie and other land owners are
united in calling that highway Cuya-

that the name should be carried
through to the end of the street.
From the sentiment expressed at the
trustees meeting last evening, some
one name must he decided upon, as
the board will never consent to nam
ing sections of the avenue different
names. 1t was also evident that
ajority of the board were in favor
of keeping the name of Adams, in hen

1t was complete victory for the old
board of directors of Imperial Water
Company No. / yesterday at the an
nual meeting in Imperial.
The Press last evening called the
turn exactly in naming the board, say
ing it would be Messrs. Cochran, Faw-
cett, Campbell and Heber, with a
man from Mesquite lake, though it
was not determined who that would be.
1t proved to be Mr.. Heydloff.
There were but two defeated can
didates at the election, Clark Adair
and T. p. Banta, there having been
seven nominations.
OF the new board Campbell, FaW-
cett and Heber were members of the
old board. Mr.. Cochran is the only
representative Of the nonresident
property owners, being superintend--
ent of Fuller brothers ranches, and
he is resident of the valley who is
admitted by all to be an able man and
a valuable addition to the board. Mr..

when Joe Simons attempted to ad-
dress the meeting and was ruled out
of order by President Willard.
This did not satisfy the old-time po-
litical leader Of Los Angeles, and he
waved his arms about boisterously
and demanded his rights.
Instead of that he was given a
shower of cat calls by the stockhold-
ers, who supported the ruling of the
president, and the doughty giant was
forced to give way.
O. B. Fuller made a speech, in which
he demanded change in the manage
ment of the company, but the change
was not forthcoming when the ballots
were counted.
Mr.. Fuller declared that he had not
come down from Los Angeles to cap
ture control of the water company,
but Mr.. Simons did not make such a
declaration, and it was apparent that
the stockholders thoupht such was his
mission, and they were not disposed
to surrender the management of the
company to the non-residents.

Wants Water To
Irrigate Trees

In communication to the city
Board of Trustees w. l. Stone last
evening made application for the pur-
chase of water for two years for the
irrigation of shade trees in Wiltshire
addition. Mr.. Stone stated in his
communication that he was having
planted large number of trees in
the new addition and intended to prop
erly maintain them for a period of
two years, and desired to buy water
from the city for that purpose. The
communication was referred to Water
Commissioner Burger.
+ At the meeting of the trustees D..
A. Perkiss also presented the city with
quit claim deed to strip of land
between Fifth and Sixth streets on
the south of Park avenue. This gives
to the city additional park space and
will also allow the widening of the
street at that place. 1t is believed
that other sections will be decided to
the city along the south side of Park
so that the street can be widened for
almost the entire distance, to the linn
it's. from SO to 80 feet.
A plat of an addition to the Park
addition was presented to the board
and adopted.
Other business transacted by the
board last evening will be found else
where in this issue.
