PUTS QUESTION IN HANDS OF PEOPLE COMMITTEE OF FIFTY CONSIDERS SEGREGATION OF CIVIC CENTER AND CITY HALL BOND PROPOSALS SERIOUS FLAW DISCOVERED IN FORM OF OPTIONAL AGREEMENT BY WHICH PARK SITE IS HELD Definite steps toward bringing the civic center proposition before the court of last resort, the people, as speedily as possible were taken Thursday night at a special meeting of the committee of fifty, when a motion introduced by Prof. E. W. Hauck was discussed at considerable length by the members present. Although no vote was taken on the motion the proposition appeared to meet the approval of nearly all, but owing to the small attendance it was decided advisable site it was discovered that there is a serious error in the form used. The options are for four months and, it was supposed, with a six months extension privilege, but it was discovered Thursday night that unless the bonds are voted and the money in sight within four months of the date the options expire. As these papers were signed in January less than two month's time remains in which to get the bonds voted and sold, which is an impossibility. There is an extension provision but it is for the purpose of granting time for the removal of the buildings. The committee was instructed to have the options altered and the date extended. The committee has options on four acres of ground, the total cost of which is $65,000. It is divided among several owners and the figures on most of the pieces are considered reasonable. They range from $200 per front foot on Los Angeles street to $35 on other streets. A committee consisting of O. E. Steward, J. E. Fisher and John Ziegler is now working in an effort to get a reduction on some of the lots. There are several important sub-committees at work, but they are not due to report until the 15th. Action of the trustees in calling a bond election would have no bearing on their work.

Not however, about ther perhaps there w some time to com Yorba Linda meet lage emphatically minority highway court of last resort, the people, as speedily as possible were taken Thursday night at a special meeting of the committee of fifty, when a motion introduced by Prof. E. W. Hauck was discussed at considerable length by the members present. Although no vote was taken on the motion the proposition appeared to meet the approval of nearly all, but owing to the small attendance it was decided advisable to lay it on the table and take it up for final consideration when the entire committee to act. Because of the fact that at the previous meeting of the committee adjournment was taken until Thursday evening, April 15, many of the members misunderstood the call for a special meeting, consequently only one-third were present. This small minority considered it unwise to blind the whole to a drastic step consequently it was decided to postpone action until a larger representation would be present. According to Prof. Hauck's motion the two propositions, which have been so freely discussed for weeks past—the establishment of a civic center and the erection of a new city hall on the old site are segregated and the voters have the opportunity of deciding the dispute themselves. The motion was to the effect that city trustees be asked to call an election for the purpose of voting $65,000 in bonds for the purchase of a site for a city park, also $35,000 for the erection of a city hall. The original motion added the phrase that the city hall should be built on the park site, but certain members of the committee, who have been delving into musty California statutes and posting themselves on the law, declared that a serious muddle might result from such a proposition. Should the city hall bonds carry and the park bonds be defeated the city would stand pledged to build the hall on a site that did not exist, and it could be built on no other site than he one designated on the ballot. The Professor thereupon asked that those words be stricken out. Inasmuch as there is a division of sentiment among the people on this question, one faction favoring the civic center for which the committee of fifty is working, and the other advocating limiting expenditure at this time to rebuilding the present city hall, this action will put the question squarely before the voters for their decision. Should two-thirds of the voters favor foot on Los Angeles street to $35 on other streets. A committee consisting of O. E. Steward, J. E. Fisher and John Ziegler is now working in an effort to get a reduction on some of the lots. There are several important sub-committees at work, but they are not due to report until the 15th. Action of the trustees in calling a bond election would have no bearing on their work. MILLIONAIRE'S SCION SPENDS NIGHT IN JAIL Jothan Bixby, Sprig of Long Beach Gentility, Drunk, Falls From Horse Locked Up. Fined $25 Jothan Bixby, son of the millionaire pioneer of Long Beach, was placed under arrest on a charge of drunkenness by Officer Germann at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning, and locked up at the city jail. Bixby arrived from Long Beach early on Thursday morning, riding his horse, and is said to have imbibed freely. He started for the Bixby ranch above Olive, and upon the paved thoroughfare east of the city, is said by residents to have galloped his horse madly up and down the road in an energetic effort to break the speed record. At a point some distance beyond the junction of the Olive and Placentia roads he was thrown or fell from his horse, and he remained upon the ground in a stuplified condition, while his horse continued running. The animal was captured by a resident of the east side, and a message telephoned into the city police that a man was lying in the roadway, evidently much the worse for liquor. Officer German left immediately for the scene in an automobile and brought Bixby in to the city prison. Germann recognized Bixby at sight of him, for the latter has a well known police record here. Bixby refused supper in the evening saying he was too ill to eat a bite. He remained in jail during the night, and ate a light breakfast on Friday morning. Marshal Kellenberger took Bixby into Judge Howard's court room at 10 o'clock for his hearing. Bixby had been in jail about 24 hours. Judge Howard imposed a fine of $25 on Bixby for drunkenness and misbehavior. Bixby paid his fine, drawing a check on one of the local banks. His horse was returned to him and he started for his ranch up the canyon. On day evening, Marsh rumored that a $5 more paved roads up" by the coast and no doubt man that that imports discussed. Not however, about perhaps there will some time to come Yorba Linda meet emphatically minority highway port which carried additional half-mile people of the county in no mood at the tional road bond would be decisively.

Secretary Metzger of the last regular meetings which w Cypress and Elf tance and were ad total membership. Superintendent Mitchell enlighten in regard to pending high schools high school area children to school tax of 15 cents c should their child is to be 22 cents applied only to th ignated on the ballot. The Professor thereupon asked that those words be stricken out. Inasmuch as there is a division of sentiment among the people on this question, one faction favoring the civic center for which the committee of fifty is working, and the other advocating limiting expenditure at this time to rebuilding the present city hall, this action will put the question squarely before the voters for their decision. Should two-thirds of the voters favor both propositions the civic center plans will be carried out without delay. The four acres of ground on which an option is now held will be purchased, a portion of it fitted up for a public park, and a $35,000 municipal building erected on South Los Angeles street, probably where the Hahn livery stable now stands. If the city hall section carries and the park site defeated, a beautiful new building will replace the old structure at the corner of Center and Claudina streets. If the park bonds should carry and the hall bonds be defeated, we will have a splendid park and it will be necessary for the trustees to build a new home for themunicipal government by some other means—probably through the disposition of some of its property. A special meeting was called for Monday night in order to get the matter before the trustees at tonight's meeting, but this was afterward called off and the motion will be voted upon on the date previously set. Action was hastened by the statement of Trustee G. W. Hamler to the effect that the trustees were purchasing a new auto fire truck, and that it was necessary to begin the immediate construction of a home for the fire department. If the matter was delayed until several thousand dollars had been spent in a new building on the old site it would prove a serious handicap in the election. Although options have been secured on all the property in the proposed Mrs. David Hamler entertained the Friday afternoon club as her home on Emily street last week. It was a pleasant affair, twenty guests being present to enjoy the hospitality of the hostess. They were Mrs. G. W. Hamler, Mrs. E. Zitzman, Mrs. C. W. Pendleton, Mrs. W. E. Duckworth, Mrs. J. H. Clabaugh, Mrs. E. H. Adams, Mrs. Frank Borth, Mrs. L. A. Porter, Mrs. John Kellenberger, Mrs. Herman Stock, Mrs. N. J. Kualman, Mrs. Al Nowotny, Mrs. Al Erickson, Mrs. E. R. Barnes, Mrs. J. Wilkle, Mrs. Carrie Johnson, Mrs. Laura Millain and Misses Marle Erickson and Ardis Johnson. Marshal Kellenberger took Bixby into Judge Howard's court room at 10 o'clock for his hearing. Bixby had been in jail about 24 hours. Judge Howard imposed a fine of $25 on Bixby for drunkenness and misbehavior. Bixby paid his fine, drawing a check on one of the local banks. His horse was returned to him and he started for his ranch up the canyon. On emerging from jail he telegraphed relatives at Long Beach that he had been at his ranch during the night, but Officer Germann states that when Bixby's relatives phoned the ranch the evening before they learned the young man and not arrived there. Bixby has been in trouble here before and recently at Santa Ana was fined for fast automobile driving. He was in a bad automobile smash-up here some years ago, when he collided with two autos standing near the Santa Fe tracks. His touring car was partially wrecked and one of the other cars was demolished, the third also being considerably injured. Bixby was placed under arrest and was heavily fined. He paid for repairs to the two cars, the cost being said at the time to be well up toward $1000. Superintendent Mitchell enlightened in regard to pending high schools, high school area, children to school, tax of 15 cents or should their child is to be 22 cents applied only to them and this outside task to pay any of the or interest. This makes other provision of the school. It is proposed to do $60 per student lendance, and the propriate $2000 five schools in addition within the county remaining over an apportioned to each a basis of the distance. There are five ango county, and acted with a means the schools. This suit from the fast raised for the schooling as now from raised on property ty and apportioned.

It had been rumored that a $500,000 bond issue for more paved roads would be "jumped up" by the coast boulevard boosters, and no doubt many attended thinking that that important topic would be discussed. Not a word was said, however, about the bond issue, and perhaps there will not be; not for some time to come, at least. At the Yorba Linda meeting the large assembly emphatically voted against the minority highway commissioner's re- the people will get the benefit. James Irvine will dled a frontage of 1500 feet on Newport Bay to the City of Newport Beach, Mr. Wallace said. The La Habra Land and Water company will also deed 500 feet. With this certainty that there will be public wharfage facilities, Newport Beach will proceed at once to vote $100,000 bonds for building a jetty on the city's side of the entrance to Newport Bay. At this juncture Miss Goodcell of Los Angeles favored the audience with a vocal solo and was roundly applauded. She responded with "Annie Laurie" as an encore which fairly captured the house. Miss Goodcell possesses a voice of fine timbre and clear pronunciation and received hearty applause. A. S. Bradford of Placentia spoke of pending legislation relating to labeling all products. It is the intention to make all packers label their wares, giving name and address. The proposed law is a good one. He has written to our assemblyman to look with favor upon this bill but as yet has received no reply. A communication was received from the highway commission's officers in reference to hiring inspectors on road paving. Local men would be given the preference whenever practicable. J. P. Smith, who has a position as booster for Orange county at the San Diego fair, made an extended talk on WARM CONTEST FOR SCHOOL TRUSTEES NEARLY ONE THOUSAND VOTES CAST FOR NEW MEMBERS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL BOARD E. E. ANGELL AND A. H. WITMAN WIN, REV. C. W. F. DANIELS GRAMMAR SCHOOL TRUSTEE Little interest was manifested in Friday's election for the selection of school trustees until the day actually dawned, and even then a large percentage of the people were unaware that it was election day. A few automobiles appeared on the streets in the forenoon and carried a number of electors to the voting places, but in the afternoon these were reinforced, by many others and they began burning holes in the pavement in an effort to get all the voters to the polls. Toward evening there was a congestion, especially at the high school, and at 6 o'clock, the hour at which the polls 35 on consummation and in an of important topic are.

Night, Friday Dixby am at day evening, March 31. It had been rumored that a $500,000 bond issue for more paved roads would be "jumped up" by the coast boulevard boosters, and no doubt many attended thinking that that important topic would be discussed. Not a word was said, however, about the bond issue, and perhaps there will not be; not for some time to come, at least. At the Yorba Linda meeting the large assembly emphatically voted against the minority highway commissioner's report which carried a provision for an additional half-million bond issue. The people of the county, as a whole, are in no mood at this time for an additional road bond issue. The same would be decisively defeated. W. A. Zimmerman of Santa Ana made the welcoming address, and extended the key of the city to the large gathering of citizens. He said he saw many new faces among the assembly, and that the membership of the associated chambers was growing. Many questions of importance are threshed out at these monthly meetings and much good is the result. Mr. Zimmerman says his heart is always in this work, and in the name of this august body he bid all welcome. J. A. Armitage of Sunset Beach responded and said he felt that he voiced the minds of all present when he said all were glad to be guests of the city of Santa Ana upon this occasion. The chamber has been fortunate in having good men as its officers, and it would be difficult to get men more staunch than those we have had at the helm for the past year. The products of Orange county are diversified, and they range from oranges to walnuts, from a fine harbor to oil and gasoline, and we have besides a boosting class of citizens who are always ready to help promote all legitimate enterprises. Secretary Metzgar read the minutes of the last regular and adjourned meetings which were approved. Cypress and El Modena asked admitance and were accepted, making the total membership now twenty-four. Superintendent of Schools, R. P. Mitchell enlightened the assembly in regard to pending legislation affecting high schools. Territory outside of high school area, and not sending children to school, will pay a pro rata tax of 15 cents on the $100, while should their children attend, the rate is to be 22 cents. The money is to be applied only to the running expenses, giving name and address. The proposed law is a good one. He has written to our assemblyman to look with favor upon this bill but as yet has received no reply. A communication was received from the highway commission's officers in reference to hiring inspectors on road paving. Local men would be given the preference whenever practicable. J. P. Smith, who has a position as booster for Orange county at the San Diego fair, made an extended talk on the beauties of the exposition and its value as an advantageous point to disseminate literature. He stated that there is much inquiry concerning Orange county. He is doing all in his power to show the tourists the advisability of coming to Orange county to locate and answers many inquiries daily. Good results are obtained through this class of boosting and the county is getting its share, Mr. Smith believes, of the new home seekers. Gus Stern stated he believed, in all fairness, that when letters are received asking for information concerning certain products, that those letters be turned over to the chambers of commerce in territory where in these products are most naturally raised. For instance, if Valencia orange land is desired, the communications should be turned over to Placentia and if oil land is desired, to send the letters to Brea. And if beach property was desired that the injuries be filled with the beachites. Mr. Stern's point was well taken, and, perhaps, in the future a more equable distribution of these letters and inquiries will be adhered to. It has been said that in the past that this practice has not been followed. The matter of securing an advertising button or badge, emblematic of Orange county, received hearty support, and the committee will take the matter up with the supervisors to endeavor to get an appropriation toward that end. Mr. Mills read a resolution seeking redress, as he put it, from alleged overcharges from the Edison company. This matter has bobbled up before and it was stated that since no specific charge in relation to an overcharge has been filed no proceedings can be taken up with the state commission having these matters in charge. Mr. Mills also read a resolution recommending that all the county paved roads be resurfaced, the money to be taken from the highway surplus. The giving name and address.

P. Mitchell enlightened the assemblage in regard to pending legislation affecting high schools. Territory outside of high school area, and not sending children to school, will pay a pro rata tax of 15 cents on the $100, while should their children attend, the rate is to be 22 cents. The money is to be applied only to the running expenses, and this outside territory is not asked to pay any of the bonded indebtedness or interest. This proposed legislation makes other provisions for the betterment of the schools. It is proposed to raise a sum equal to $60 per student in daily average attendance, and the state board will appropriate $2000 flat to each of the schools in addition to the money raised within the county. The state funds remaining over and above the $2000 apportioned to each high school are to be distributed among the districts on a basis of the daily average attendance. There are five high schools in Orange county, and the new law is enacted with a mean saving to each of the schools. This of course, will result from the fact that the money raised for the schools instead of coming as now from each district, will be raised on property in the entire county and apportioned by the county. It was moved and carried that the legislative committee look after this matter and see that the law is passed. Low Wallace, in speaking about contemplated improvements at Newport harbor, said after two years of fighting they are commencing to get results. Altogether they will have 2000 feet of water frontage when present plans are perfected, and that will give Orange county as fine a harbor as there is in the state, and that no corporation will be able to control the water front at Newport. The wharf rates will be kept down to a low figure and redress, as he put it, from alleged overcharges from the Edison company. This matter has bobbled up before and it was stated that since no specific charge in relation to an overcharge has been filed no proceedings can be taken up with the state commission having these matters in charge. Mr. Mills also read a resolution recommending that all the county paved roads be resurfaced, the money to be taken from the highway surplus. The matter was referred to the state highway committee. The matter of stopover privileges in the county on the Santa Fe railway, was again brought up, and the same was referred to the committee on transportation, Messrs. Mills, and S. M. Davis arguing in favor of taking the matter up with the railroad commission. Gus Stern, the retiring president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce made a verbal report of the many good things accomplished during the year, among which were telephone inter-switching, the Chino road, the building of a 5 per cent grade on the La Habra road, the establishment of a marin laboratory at Laguna Beach, the disapproval of the 8-hour law, the insistence of stopover privileges in the county, and many other commendable undertakings. We must have more manufacturing concerns in the county, in that we may be self-sustaining, Mr. Stern said. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: Low H. Wallace, of Newport Beach, President. W. O. Hart, of Orange, Vice-President. J. C. Metzgar, of Santa Ana, Secretary. The gentlemen were each elected unanimously. A vote of thanks was heartily given to Gus Stern, the retiring president, for his indefatigable and painstaking Continued on Page Three Witman . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Wallop was the retiring member and had declined to be a candidate again. In the foreoonon a few scattering votes were cast, but about the middle of the afternoon it developed that there was a contest on hand. Rev. C. W. F. Daniels' friends began boosting him for the vacancy, and Mrs. Wallop's friends, notwithstanding her previous declaration, insisted on voting for her.

Hedges was in town on a business mission on Thursday and made a pleasant call at this office. Mr. Hedges has lived continuously for 19 years on his ranch in the Brookshurst district. He states that in all these years the road passing his place, and what is known as the Stanton road, has never received any attention from the supervisors, until re- SAN DIEGO HIGH IS THE THIRD VICTIM DEFEATED BY ANAHEIM DEBATERS IN A SPIRITED CONTEST FRIDAY EVENING LOCALS WILL APPEAR IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP DEBATE AT LOS ANGELES MAY FIRST Stubbornly and eloquently the two representatives of San Diego high school battled for the championship of the Southern California High School Debating League at the auditorium Friday evening, but their efforts were vain. Although having previously defeated Polytechnic high and Pasadena, and ranking second in the league, being only three points behind Anaheim, the Southerners found themselves pitied against the hardest proposition of the debating series and sustained their first defeat which is sufficient to eliminate them from the championship debate to be held in Los Angeles on J. H. Hedges was in town on a business mission on Thursday and made a pleasant call at this office. Mr. Hedges has lived continuously for 19 years on his ranch in the Brookhurst district. He states that in all these years the road passing his place, and what is known as the Stanton road, has never received any attention from the supervisors, until recently, when the road was graded up. No oil was used to harden the surface, and no gravel was used. The grading amounts to practically nothing, as the road will soon be in a condition similar to that before it was recently given attention. The road is one of the most traveled in that section and the Brookhurst ranchers are of the opinion that they should have a better thoroughfare. Mr. Hedges is firmly of the opinion that his section should receive fairer treatment in the way of road building and is at a loss to know why he and his neighbors have been so persistently overlooked.

Mrs. Wilson on Sunday, visited with Mr. Wilson, returning home the same evening. Although the negative speakers sat up and took notice when Owen mentioned San Diego as one of the cities which had abandoned the commission for the manager plan, Miller, the first debator ignored the statement. My opponent, he said, is too premature in claiming the manager plan is the outgrowth of the commission plan. The commission plan is democratic, efficient and honest. Each commissioner is and honest. Each commissioner is directly responsible for some department of the government, and it is his interest to see that it is administered wisely. The affirmative declares the manager must be an expert. He may be an expert politician. There is no analogy between a city government Continued on Page Three
