Valuable Property and Water Rights Now Belong to St. Helena. Memorial Day Fittingly Observed in St Helena By American Legion. Probably the most important meeting of the Board of Town Trustees of St. Helena ever held took place Wednesday evening.

All members except Trustee Money were present and the final steps were taken in the purchase of the water system. All necessary papers were signed and warrants for $60,000 for the system and $237.65 for materials purchased by the St. Helena Water Company since February 2nd, when the price for the plant was named, were drawn and except for the signature of the Treasurer were ready for delivery. It was arranged for Mr. Ewer, President of the Water Company, to exchange the deed for the warrants at 10 oclock Thursday morning, June 1st.

This was done and the water system now belongs to the Town of St. Helena and is under the supervision of C. J. Corcoran. Before taking up the important business of the evening, the Trustees granted Mrs.

Maliani permission to build an addition to the Railroad Hotel. A permit was also granted to Joseph Levinson to make certain ad- ditions of corrugated iron to the St. Helena Bakery and to build a garage 'of the same material. A communication from the League of California Municipalities was read, asking the Board to send at least one representative to Stockton on June 3rd to attend a meeting called for the purpose of discussing measures that will appear upon the November ballot and which vitally afTect every municipality. All agreed that some one should attend and a motion was made and carried that some one member of the Board go to Stockton on June 3rd.

A bill for $237.65 was presented by the Water Company.
