DUNTON MOVES INTO HIS NEW GARAGE BUILDING New Ford Garage and Salesroom Largest in This County BUILDING COMPLETED George Dunton, Ford dealer, is today moving into the largest garage in Orange county, situated on the corner of North Los Angeles and Adele streets. The new structure faces on three streets and will be occupied exclusively by Dunton's automobile, truck, tractor, implement, repairing, accessory and oil business. The front has an elevation of 23 feet, relieved by nine arches, including one over the main entrance, and is finished in imitation lava rock composition. The business and sales division of the building occupies the entire 135 feet front and to a depth of 45 feet. The south 45x44 is to be occupied by the stock accessories. To the north and front, there is a spacious display room 90x30 feet for cars, tractors and implements. To the rear of this, the office and rest rooms take up a space 90x15 feet. There is a long general office and two private offices; also, a driveway from the display room to the garage proper. The front elevation of this room is 16 feet, with a mezzanine floor running the entire 135 feet and to a depth of 16 feet at the rear. On the mezzanne floor there is reserve storage of parts and a sleeping room for a night man. In the garage division proper a space 102x40 feet is given to the machine shop, making it one of the largest Ford shops in Southern California. The service floor is 92x78 feet and the warroom for storage, principally implements, are 75x24. The largest garage in Orange county has been made necessary by the wonderful growth of the business since Dunton took it over May 26, 1918. The net sales for last year totaled almost half a million, or $499,823.90, to be exact. This compares with $365,811.45 in 1919. The first Fordson tractor arrived in Anaheim in September, 1918. Dunton has sold 359 tractors. Of these, 144 new and 11 used were delivered in 1920. Dunton started in May, 1918, with 6600 square feet of floor space. Last year he had to add an enclosed yard with 8200 square feet, making 14,850. Recently he has had to rent large warehouse space outside. Now he has a garage with 20,500 square feet of floor space with adjoining lots permitting ample room for expansion. In May, 1918, the shop equipment inventoried $1037. On December 31, 1920, it had expanded to $7672.87. In the same time his service car equipment had increased from one to six. In 1920 Dunton sold 229 new and 85 used autos, totalling 314. In 1919 he sold 117 new and 50 used cars. Dunton now has 29 employees, his payroll for 1920 totalling $38,631.37, comparing with $5587.01 for the algatly more than seven months after he took over the business in 1918. A dentist informs us that defective teeth cause crime. Want of defective teeth in the laws has the same effect. Another weakness of the system is that so many people who believe in enforcing prohibition don't believe in observing it. —Your satisfaction is our success; that is our motto.

WARNING WAS GIVEN IN COLORADO FLOOD BUT UNHEEDED COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., June 6.—Charles Bradman, a refugee, just in from Pueblo, says that while the property loss and the number of dead may be overestimated, hundreds have been lost who will never be found. They are buried in deep mud and wreckage or washed by the rapid stream far south. "I was in a rooming house in the innundated district," he said. "We got sufficient warning, but failed to need it. A wall of water several feet high struck the building, carrying it off its foundations. The water soon reached the second story. Several roomers were lost. I was rescued from the roof in a row boat. I saw several houses wrecked and I am sure that fifty lives were lost in my own observation. I am glad to escape with my life, for I lost about everything else." SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS IN APPROPRIATIONS GIVEN VETO SACRAMENTO, June 6.—Appropriations aggregating more than 7,250,000 passed by the forty-fourth legislature have been vetoed by Gov. Stephens, according to a preliminary estimate made by state officials, and as a result it was stated by Clyde L. Seavey, the expenditures for the next year will come within the $90,000,000 estimated revenue for the biennium. Appropriations submitted for the governor's approval totaled approximately $95,000,000, which included about $81,000,000 sanctioned by the state budget board. Elimination of more than $250,000 from the governmental expenses bill by the governor, due to his having signed the eight reorganization bills, and vetoeing of approximately $7,000,000 in road bills and funds asked by certain institutions brought to the total of $349,999. Man About Town By CHARLES KUGHEL Samuel Kraemer in a social chat the other day gave a few inside facts about how the oil development in the famous Richfield territory and adjoining fields acquired its impetus, and grew to be one of the best producing oil sections in the state. Mr. Kraemer is known as a shrewd geologist, and during recent years has given on the earth's formations here and elsewhere scientific study, although more than twenty years ago he felt confident oil existed in the local area that is now producing some of the biggest wells in the state. His advice is being constantly sought by many wealthy men who have embarked in the oil business in this and adjoinning states. A number of years ago Mr. Kraemer predicted that oil could be obtained upon the site that is now known as the Chapman well. Through his advice the Union Oil company commenced drilling there and its labors have been rewarded by bringing in what is said to be one of the largest oil producers in the west. The same may be said of the Chapman No. 6, probably the biggest find of recent years. One day while Mr. Kraemer was passing through the Montebello section he noticed soil formations that convinced him oil could be struck there. This was before any development work had been attempted in that locality. He made known his predictions to the Union operators, and although skeptical at first, they later opened up that territory with phenomenal success. Mr. Kraemer did all this because he knew it would be only a question of time when the big oil company would be reaching out for more land, and he had plenty, but in adjoining areas yet untouched by the drillers. Since then much oil seeking activity has been in evidence throughout the northern end of the county. Mr. Kraemer is drawing royalties from upwards of twenty wells, while he possesses many more acres of land which in the next few years no doubt will also be exploited. When a town grows up many people band themselves together for the suppression of unnecessary noises Among those still unchecked are the early morning switching freight engine, the nocturnal tom cat duet, and the back fire of a motor cycle. Regarding the cycle, however, a man who used to ride one, but who has been smoked up, got to talking about its many features, and says a timid gent has no business upon the hurricane deck of one of them. Even those who can manage one, he says, must be careful lest they skid around and at beat a new recruit is trying to steer one straight takes many chances to keep from climbing up the nearest telegraph pole. And when he has accomplished the art and anxexes the speed bug he becomes a poor insurance risk, for at the rate some of them go they flirt carelessly with the undertaker. When a mix up occurs about all that there remains to do is send the flowers, but many get by and when it comes to burning up the boulevard a motorcycle is in a class all by itself. As one passes you in a hurry all you know as a result it was stated by Clyde L. Seavey, the expenditures for the next year will come within the $90,000,000 estimated revenue for the biennium. Appropriations submitted for the governor's approval totaled approximately $95,000,000, which included about $81,000,000 sanctioned by the state budget board. Elimination of more than $250,000 from the governmental expenses bill by the governor, due to hi having signed the eight reorganization bills, and vetoing of approximately $7,000,000 in road bills and funds asked by certain institutions, brought the total of "dead" appropriations to more than $7,250,000.
