Buena Park City Council Approves Granting Franchise to Gas Company Members of Buena Park city council voted last night in favor of granting a franchise to the Southern Counties Gas Company of California. Purpose of the franchise reads: "to lay and use pipes and appurtenances for transmitting and distributing gas for any and all purposes—under, along, across or upon the public streets, ways, alleyways, and places as of the same or may exist within the city of Buena Park." Holders of the franchise must pay the city two per cent of their gross annual receipts, which at no time can be less than one per cent of their total receipts. Tuesday, Oct. 27, 8:45 p.m. was the time set for a hearing on the issue. Any person or persons having any objections to the gas company grant will be recognized in the council chamber. Written protests have to be signed by contestant and delivered to the clerk, stated City Manager Arthur Brewer. Nine amendments to the traffic regulations code, were adopted, merely rectifying the oversight of inclusion in the code of the phrase: "and sub-sections thereof." The amendments were pursuant to making Artesia and Stanton streets a four-way stop. A house-moving permit was granted for a Long Beach party to move a residential garage to a lot at 7361 Artesia Ave. As the weekly meeting adjourned, there was some verbal play regarding the city's phone bill. Council member Joseph Webber objected to the figure of $297.82 for September, pointing out the annual bill comes to almost the same as traffic collections. "Let's get a franchise with the phone company," he suggested. "We can't," answered Mayor Grady Travis. "Why not?" "The Constitution of California." "Amend it," quipped Webber.

Census Takers Count Seaman as Residents LOS ANGELES (UP)—Special census takers are playing all the angles in the count of the city's population. Some 125 enumerators yesterday combed the harbor area, listing as city residents seamen aboard merchant ships and occupant of houseboats and yachts. United States census rules provide that persons aboard vessels in the harbor count as city residents. The census takers also counted Fort MacArthur personnel, military men at Birmingham hospital and personnel at San Pedro Navy installations. Big Inch" Link Reaches Anaheim Construction work on the Southern counties Gas Co. 24-inch natural gas line connecting Anaheim, Orange and Santa Ana with the Texas "big inch" line, reached the outskirts of Anaheim this week when ditching operations arrived at the intersection of Anaheim-Olive Rd. and Rio Vista Ave. The line is being constructed by the Hood Construction Co. of Lynwood, at a cost of $609,000, according to Justin M. Kennedy, manager of the gas company's Orange County division. Work on the project began several weeks ago with the laying of the specially-prepared pipe. Beginning at the Santa Ana end of the line, scores of workmen have been surveying, ditching and installing the sections of pipe which will terminate at the company's Brea-Olinda station—the western terminus for the Texas pipeline. Special preparation was made by the contractors for the crossing of the Santa Ana River at Anaheim-Olive Rd. The huge 38-foot sections of pipe were coated with four inches of concrete on the exterior to make them "stay put" in their place. Each section when in place will weigh more than eight tons. Completion of the pipe line project is set for Nov. 15, Kennedy said. Installation of the new line insures an adequate supply of natural gas to homes and industry of Orange county for years in the future and is another project of the Southern counties Gas Co. to maintain and deliver uniform service to its thousands of customers in the area, in line with its established policy. Meet The Boss! Sunkist is set up a lot like any American city. The grower is the "voter"...he's the real boss. He affiliates with one of the 176 local packinghouses and helps elect its board of directors. This local board then elects one or more growers to serve as directors of the Sunkist "District Exchange" in his area. There are 25 District Exchanges. Next, each District Exchange elects one member to serve as director on the Sunkist "Central Exchange." Thus every grower, by his vote, shapes the policies of the organization which serves him.
