NEW CASE TRACTOR AGENCY FOR ANAHEIM MISSION GARAGE CURTIS V. EDWARDS, Prop. EUROPEAN HOTELS PICK TRAVELERS CLEAN AS BONE By CLYDE A. BEALS LONDON, By Mail. The open season for travelling in Europe is on and the average Americans who come over will be shot as full of holes as a decoy duck. Every hotelkeeper is bent on squeezing the lemon dry for himself, and on receiving a complaint against the most unreasonable extortion, smiles obsequiously and murmurs the new European slogan, "But YOU have dollars." The only real good the exchange does Americans, as a matter of fact, is to make them feel richer. In Central Europe, Germany and Italy the prices are still relatively low. In Belgium the level of food prices begins to approach the American, and in France, and strangely enough, Holland, one pays dollar for dollar and sometimes a little more. In all these countries one may find relatively cheap hotels and restaurants, but they are both well off the beaten tourists tracks, and dirty. The line between the good and bad places is rather sharp. No American need fear the food shortage, even in Austria. There it is still practically impossible to get white bread, though this in the surrounding countries is readily available. It is discouraging to try to travel for pleasure, however, in any of the countries except those along the Atlantic and North Sea. The train services, owing to the coal shortage, have been so curtailed that the cars are hopelessly overcrowded. The hotels are continually filled One must reserve rooms from one to ten days ahead. And, the complete traveller must be equipped with a full assortment of bug and itch ointments. The bugs have become so brazen that they don't wait to begin operations even until the lights are out. In Italy, also, the hotels as well as restaurants have evolved what OBSERVATIONS By CHARLES KUCHEL Director of the Chamber of Commerce have asked the people to make Anaheim a busier, bigger and better city. That is a modest request, since everyone who has the least bit of enterprise in him should be willing to do so without asking. If you stop for a moment and look around you will see that Anaheim has the foundation laid for a bigger city and it is up to the people to put on the extensions. Then when you have created a bigger city, just as the night succeeds the day, a busier city follows in the wake. If a person is kept busy he becomes more useful to himself and to his fellowman. He ceases to be a drone and at once becomes a producer. He gets results. This same deduction aptly applies to a city. And a man or a woman, as the case may be, who takes enjoyment in their labors, feels more independent and contented. Consequently they are better for their energetic efforts and are, of course, happier. This, it is needless to say, also applies collectively to cities. There are a number of very necessary improvements in contemplation for the immediate future, and it remains for the people to say whether the step shall be formed or otherwise. All good people say it shall be onward. Citizens now are asked to take more interest in the city's welfare and are requested to put a little more pep into their everyday life, concerning alike their individual enterprises and those of the city. It might not be amiss to organize a steering committee, as they do when some big event is to be put over, whose duty it would be to wake up the laggards. Make them lock step with their wide-awake neighbors. Then, as the people used to do, when they wanted to go over the top, they had a "drive," and didn't stop until the object sought was obtained. There reasonable to suppose that within the same time in the future, or may be sooner, the present figures will be doubled. Definite Answer The other evening several men were in the city hall lobby talking about one thing and another, when another man entered, announcing his presence by giving the salutation: "Good evening, gentleman," putting emphasis upon the last word. He is a jolly fellow being somewhat of a jester. One of the party looked up, saying: "I suppose you include me as being among those whom you have addressed," he, too, being prone to thrust a quibl. "Well, I'll tell you," replied the man who just came in, "it's like the fellow who had three brothers." Two of them are dead," he said; "and the other lives in Pomona." Then everybody laughed and smoked up. SCHOOL BUILDINGS NOT ERECTED ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS (Continued from Page One) school and in all rooms in Citron school, fire brick in the fireplaces have been omitted. "On the front of both schools, face brick has been omitted and stucco substituted." "Floor joists have not been cut with three inch fire cuts, as specified, and have not more than a two inch bearing on foundation and in many cases less than two inches. Where four and eight inch headers is shown on drawing at end of floor joists, to have a bearing on foundation, two and four inch headers have been used and no bearing on foundation."

The train services, owing to the coal shortage, have been so curtailed that the cars are hopelessly overcrowded. The hotels are continually filled. One must reserve rooms from one to ten days ahead. And, the complete traveller must be equipped with a full assortment of bug and itch ointments. The bugs have become so brazen that they don't wait to begin operations even until the lights are out. In Italy, also, the hotels as well as restaurants have evolved what amounts to a double tipping system. Placards announce that no tips will be accepted, and that instead a service charge of from ten to fifteen per cent will be made. But, to get out without tipping takes an accomplished burglar. One proprietor, when asked if the service was paid for, replied, "Well, yes, but——" A cover charge is also in the list of refined extortion. In one tiny restaurant in Venice the cover I had certainly had made more than enough to buy a clean one. The service was rendered by the proprietor's small son. Both charges were nevertheless among those present. There is, however, one new convenience. Almost every man who went home from England or America to fight has now become a waiter or a porter, so that knowledge of an extra language, except for arguing with the taxicab drivers, is almost superfluous. Though Holland is to Monaco as a waistub is to a fingerbowl, it is for a visit the most pleasant country of all. One is sure of courteous treatment and the inhabitants radiate contentment. It is not necessary, as it is in Italy, and to a less degree, in France, to try everyone for the most elementary courtesy. The place is extraordinarily clean and the food extraordinarily good. It is a delight, also to talk to the Hollanders—most of them speak English, French and German. They are broadminded and impartial. When there is so much jealousy abroad it is refreshing to find a country small enough to know it is small and yet big enough not to try continually by intellect to get bigger. When Holland wants more territory it pumps some more water out of the Zulder Zee. Representative Sinclair says our only circulating medium is a banker's currency. At any rate its circulation seems to be confined to the bankers. Get Acquainted Several towns in the Southland have been holding what are termed get acquainted meetings, when people of neighboring places were asked to come and share their hospitality. The guests were shown around to give them an opportunity to see the places of interest their hosts had created. Each town had some particular object to show their visitors something of a municipal nature, which was highly prized by the town's progressive citizens. The people who journeyed to these towns were nicely entertained and made to feel as though they were all old time friends. Thus the object sought was attained. Everybody felt good for having been present and a feeling of neighborly love was engendered. These get acquainted gatherings serve to inspire a perception of "one for all and all for one." It has been some time since Anaheim has served as host to her many friends and perhaps it would be well for citizens to lay aside their business cares for a few days and have a week-end festivity, inviting all to come and share their hospitality; and have the best time they ever had in their lives. Bottled Punch A well known townsmen was host to a number of his friends at his home some time ago and during the evening, after a social entertainment, a bowl of delicious punch was discussed. It was of just the right proportions, the host says, and judging from the way the guests responded to a second and sometimes a third helping, it is possible that some one slipped a raisin or two into the concoction. Anyhow, the punch was good, and it so happened that some remained in the bowl after the guests departed. It occurred to the genial host that he would save the punch, so he bottled it and placed it down in the cellar. Several weeks later the family enjoyed a visit from some old time friends who made a social call. In his true hospitality style the host repaired to the cellar and brought forth a bottle of the punch, which he thought had aged sufficiently to be beneficial for medicinal purposes. But when he attempted to withdraw the cork all the contents of the bottle that failed to spout into his take more interest in the city's welfare and are requested to put a little more pep into their everyday life, concerning alike their individual enterprises and those of the city. It might not be amiss to organize a steering committee, as they do when some big event is to be put over, whose duty it would be to wake up the laggards. Make them lock step with their wide-awake neighbors. Then, as the people used to do, when they wanted to go over the top, they had a "drive," and didn't stop until the object sought was obtained. There are many ways to make Anaheim a bigger, better and busier city.

There are many ways to make Anaheim a bigger, better and busier city. No hardwood seats or any other kind have been provided in shower room as specified; no drawers or lockers are built under the sink boards. No back, no glass in doors or lock and key in china case. Step treads in the kindergarten room are pine instead of oak and hand rail has been omitted. Base in class-room is eight inch stock, instead of ten inch, as specified. Supply rooms in classrooms have only one twelve inch shelf where two fourteen inch shelves and four ten inch shelves are shown on drawing. Sixteen ounce "B" grade is used instead of 21 ounce "AA" in all windows. For sub-flooring one inch material, six and eight inches wide, has been laid about one half inch apart, instead of 7-8 by 6 inch tongue and grooved No. 2 flooring. The maple fooring is in very bad condition. It is not level and silvers are frequently encountered. Flat roof over corridor entrance at front of building is laid on the boards without nailing. Main deck flat roof at Citron school has two large holes in it, next to the fire wall. There are no fire walls on the other three sides. This flat deck is not securely nailed over corridor entrance. We find that the tile roof was put on in a very poor manner, and wish to call particular attention to the rear portion of the building; in this respect, cracked and warped tiles are in evidence. Tiles have not been overlapped enough at ends and in places leave holes where water can run in during rains. Cement filling at the ends of tiles in the valley is put in in such a way that the rough edges catch the water coming down the roof and carry it back under the tile and over edge of the valley tin. Leaders or down spouts are not made to size as specified. Wire baskets have not been provided at leader openings; fourteen inch common valley tin has been used instead of twenty inch galvanized iron. All wardrobe and supply room doors have two—31-2 by 31-2 inch butts instead of three 41-2 by 41-2 inch butts. Also closets and toilet room doors off corridor. French doors in kindergarten have only two butts instead of three. All transoms have only one chain instead of the two specified. The walls of the principal's room, teachers' room and kindergarten are calculated instead of painted with vanacote. Inside paintin gand stained work is very poorly done.

It occurred to the genial host that he would save the punch, so he bottled it and placed it down in the cellar. Several weeks later the family enjoyed a visit from some old time friends who made a social call. In his true hospitality style the host repaired to the cellar and brought forth a bottle of the punch, which he thought had aged sufficiently to be beneficial for medicinal purposes. But when he attempted to withdraw the cork all the contents of the bottle that failed to spout into his face flew to the ceiling. Amid much laughter indulged by those present at the efforts of their perplexed host to try and stop the flow of the punch by holding his thumb over the neck of the bottle, it was finally cast aside, when it ceased its eruptive tactics. Just to show he was a good fellow the good natured host brought forth another bottle, but with similar results. And he solemnly avers he did not add any raisins, or yeast, nor anything to the punch when it was bottled and laid away among his antique collections. Growing Some —There are 1600 consumers of light and water upon the city's books—that is, there are that many places where meters are installed showing the amount of these units consumed. Taking each one to represent a family, for instance, and multiplying that figure by 3 1/2, the usually accepted ratio, the total number of people would be found to be 5600. In a number of cases two or more families receive these commodities through the same meter, included in this number are persons in hotels, apartment houses various business place. These, together with what may be termed a floating population, is variously estimated at several hundred, perhaps a thousand. These totals will run to 6600, being a very conservative estimate. This city's area is small—the boundary lines being 1¼ miles square. The area adjoining the city limits, for a mile all around, is thickly populated. These people trade here, many come to town every day, and call this city their home. A census of this territory would reach, it is estimated 5000. This would give Anaheim and its contiguous environs a population of 11,500. Some more enthusiastic citizens place the figure higher. During the past eight years this section has more than doubled in population, and it is All wardrobe and supply room doors have two—3 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch butts instead of three 4 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch butts. Also closets and toilet room doors off corridor. French doors in kindergarten have only two butts instead of three. "Ali transoms have only one chain instead of the two specified. "The walls of the principal room, teacher's room and kindergarten are calculated instead of painted with vanacote. Inside paintin gand stained work is very poorly done. "The floor drains in the boys' toilet have either been omitted or the drains in the urinal were intended to act for both but the threshold of the urinal is too high to let the water from the floor run into the trough, especially in the west wing. There is also a low place in the floor which allows the water to stand. "The cement floor in the corridor in the Central school, especially, is of poor material and workmanship. "The plaster coping on the fire walls on the Central building and on the corridors of both buildings is loose in many places, from grouting, emitting a hollow sound. "The moulding around the black-board is very loose allowing the black boards considerable play. In regard to the electrical work and concrete work and plumbing, we have not as yet made an investigation. Your committee wishes to advise that the present school board has given us valuable assistance and assure us that they will continue to do so. We also wish to let your body know that they will see that the plans and specifications will be carried out as nearly as they can now be done. Demands will be made on the contractor and until he complies his final payment will be withheld. Your committee will continue to watch the progress of the schools and report back to you. "At a joint meeting of the School Board and your committee, it was decided to appoint two competent and disinterested contractors and builders to make further investigation and report. The principal points of difference between specifications and performance of contracts as per their findings, are included in the above."
