This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Oranges to 1921, Reviewing the Rise, Development and Progress of an Influential Community, Vol. 3 Orange in 1920 has a population of 33,268, all comfortably housed and enjoying blessings not dreamed of by the forebears of the pioneer period. So rapid have the various inventions and improvements come to us, lessening the tedium of the daily routine of home and business, that they have been appropriated as a matter of course. Sanitation has made wonderful changes in the general health of the city. Freedom from diseases formerly appearing with seasonal regularity, such as chills and fever (malaria), typhus fever, small pox, etc., is one of the greatest blessings of the era. Evenly heated homes and office buildings in the winter months, now the rule, was a few generations ago a very rare exception. Truly we have come into the enjoyment of multitudinous blessings. We have been accustomed to the rapidly moving trolley car, the speeding automobile, the railroad train gliding along under its superb equipment, the handy telephone and various other devices evolved for our convenience. It is a goodly heritage and we are not insensible of the toil of the years which has brought it to us. The Commission form of government, adopted by the electorate in 1914, is in operation in 1920. William A. Lord, mayor, is Director of Public Affairs, and the other Commissioners are: Frank J. Murray, Director of Revenue and Finance: Isaac Shoenthal, Director of Public Safety; George Roach, Director of Streets and Public Improvements, and William F. Kearney, Director of Parks and Public Property. All the departments are in the City Hall, on Day street, with the exception of the Fire Department, which is occupying a central station at the corner of Lincoln and Central avenues. The assessed valuations of Orange in 1920 amount to $27,436,532 and the tax levy was $1,096,819.50, less $103,069.54 expected from revenue. The item for local purposes was $832,010.63, and for county and other demands, $264,808.87. Orange has the largest amount of property exempted from taxation in the Oranges, and is also smallest in area. This unfair condition is partly caused by the erection of all the hospitals and several other public enterprises in the city, and also there are four cemeteries wholly or partly within its jurisdiction. Distribution of the burden among the other municipalities seems the logical way of assisting the city, which now needs increased funds for the departmental activities. Main street, a source of worriment to the city officials for a score of years, because of its constant need of repair, has been relaid with wood block pavement and is giving very good service.

Download or read book The Life history and Growth of the Pismo Clam written by Frank Walter Weymouth and published by . This book was released on 1923 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commercially the Pismo clam (Tivela stultorum)ranks first in importance in California among the clams and third among all the mollusks, being exceeded only by the oyster and the abalone. A second reason for considering this species is that there has been such evidence of depletion as to lead to increasingly more stringent protective laws, all of which have been urged by the residents of the county in which the clam is most abundant. ... An accurate study of the cause and extent of this apparent diminution must await knowledge of at least the fundamental facts of the life history of this clam. ... The more important features are considered to be: the habits, enemies and mortality of the adult; the rate of growth and the factors affecting it; the age at certain significant periods, particularly at sexual maturity and at the time when the legal size is reached; the most common age of clams forming the commercial catch; the season of spawning and the productivity; and the habits, enemies and mortality of the young.

Download or read book Nuns Across the Orange A History of the Pioneering Anglican Community of St Michael and All Angels Bloemfontein written by Michael Sparrow and published by UJ Press. This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Sister Emma and the five women who accompanied her from England crossed the Orange River early in 1874, they exchanged the comfortable mainstream of Anglican Church life for the rigours of pioneering new works in an undeveloped country. Living conditions were primitive, travel was hard, and money was always in short supply. The newly-formed Community of St Michael and All Angels opened the first girls’ schools north of the Orange and the first hospital in the Free State. At Kimberley, Sister Henrietta achieved a world first through her successful campaign for the State Registration of nurses. Four Sisters were besieged in Kimberley during the Anglo-Boer War, and in Bloemfontein their Mother House became a military hospital. By faith and determination the Community recovered. St Michael’s School was raised to new standards of excellence, while the Sisters expanded their mission to include Lesotho and the eastern Free State. Decades of work with Bloemfontein’s sick and deprived led to Sister Enid becoming known as Ma Mohau (Mother of Mercy), and to national acclaim in the 1970s as South Africa’s Mother Teresa. This book studies the development of the Community’s religious life, and charts the progress of their work among all races from their foundation until the death of the last Sister in 2016. Across the Orange, their relative isolation from the strong centres of Anglicanism eventually contributed to their demise, but not before they had established an enduring legacy. The work they began in Lesotho is continued by the Community of the Holy Name, while St Michael’s School in Bloemfontein is recognised as one of the finest girls’ schools in South Africa.
