RICHARD KREBS A GUEST OF FRIENDS First Came to Anaheim Forty Years Ago. Still Hale and Hearty in CITY HALL GIVEN FROM J. HELM RECEIVED NO COURT FOR GROUND NO BY MUNICIPAL SUIT TO RECOVER IATELY FOLLOWMENT OF In recent discussion erection of a new city ment has been made occupied by the mu was bought from Jose $300, and that, should be erected upon another would continue to ha property. The staten made that Mr. Helms terviewed, and had ac view of the case. Mr. absolutely being inter one considering erecti hall or abandonment committee appointed to look into the advisability of erecting a new city hall upon the Center street site, made a report, at the meeting of the trustees Wednesday night, that the committee had interviewed several architects relative thereto, he moved that the city employ an architect and have plans drawn for the building. The motion was seconded by Trustee Brunworth, and carried by the following vote: Ayes—Trustees Schneider, Stark, Cook and Brunworth. No—Trustee Dwyer. The plans are to call for a building costing not to exceed $30,000. At the next regular meeting the city attorney may prepare a resolution, calling for the erection of the building, and define its purposes and provide for its payment. The entire proceedings will be embodied in one resolution. Money for the erection of the new municipal building will be taken out of the general fund of the city treasury. Plans of buildings costing from $12,000 to $16,000 were examined, others ranging as high as $25,000 to $30,000. The trustees will act as a committee of the whole and select what they deem most suitable for the city's need. Trustee Dwyer was the only member of the council who opposed the proposition, and spoke in favor of waiting until such time as building materials lessened in price. He further advocated using the money in the general fund for purchase of the library site upon the installment plan and erecting a civic center later. He also suggested that no tax levy be made next year. Trustee Dwyer said many lines of building material have advanced at least 50 per cent, and that he deemed it unwise to embark upon any new construction work at this time. Trustee Cook said while material has advanced in many lines, conditions in all probability will not become normal for four or five years. Since the board has asked private citizens to improve their holdings in the downtown district, by moving back their buildings to a wider street line, Trustee Cook believed that the trustees should do their part in the way of beautifying the city. A number of citizens have erected modern buildings and more are to be built shortly. Mr. Cook says he intends to live here the rest of his life and wants to help the city advance as much as the next man. The city is growing. When he came here 12 years ago he paid $500 RICHARD KREBS A GUEST OF FRIENDS First Came to Anaheim Forty Years Ago, Still Hale and Hearty in 64th Year Mr. and Mrs. Richard Krebs, Miss Lillian Krebs and Mr. and Mrs. William Sprotte of Azusa were in the city this week, guests of Mrs. William Fisher. On Sunday they drove to Huntington Beach, where they visited Mr. Sprotte's relatives. Mr. Krebs is one of the best known grape growers and wine manufacturers in the state of California. He arrived in Anaheim first in 1877, and was for many years superintendent of the Dreyfus winery here. He was later for a number of years superintendent of E. J. Baldwin's winery at Santa Anita. For several years past he has been in business for himself at Azusa. He informs us that he will retire from business next month... During his stay in town he met many old time friends, all of whom were delighted to see him again. He is hale and hearty in his 64th year and is the same genial and companionable gentleman when Anaheim first saw him forty years ago. WEBB'S PAINT SHOP DESTROYED BY FIRE Family Horse Victim in Disastrous Blaze Friday One of the hottest fires Anaheim has experienced for many years broke out shortly after five o'clock Friday evening. By some means, which cannot be explained, the paint shop and barn of W. P. Webb, situated at the rear of his residence on South Philadelphia street, caught fire. It originated outside the building, according to Mr. Webb. When the blaze was discovered considerable delay was experienced with the fire department, consequently the building was doomed before the engine was on the scene. Neighboring buildings, however, were saved by the fire boys. The roof of Mr. Webb's house was twice conducted a saintly funeral in this city since coming to Anaheim more than four years ago, and he takes with him the best wishese of his many friends for a pleasant voyage and a safe return. This is Dr. Truxaw's first vacation since coming to Anaheim more than four years ago, and he takes with him the best wishese of his many friends for a pleasant voyage and a safe return.

the city. A number of citizens have erected modern buildings and more are to be built shortly. Mr. Cook says he intends to live here the rest of his life and wants to help the city advance as much as the next man. The city is growing. When he came here 12 years ago he paid $500 an acre for raw land; a few weeks ago he paid $1200 for the same quality. He believes in keeping up with the procession. Trustee Cook said he had been informed that building material had advanced in many instances not to exceed 25 per cent, and that it would require several years for the same to get down to prices ruling last year. In the meantime the city needs a new hall, as the old one is dangerous, being antiquated and in a dilapidated condition. Trustee Brunworth took the view point that should four or five buildings be erected upon the library site, as a civic center, there would not be any room for a park. Besides it would cost too much, and the upkeep would be heavy. Trustee Brunworth consequently favored the plan to erect a hall upon the present site. Trustee Stark's views upon the subject are too well known to need reiteration, and he believes the best interests of the city would be subserved by beautifying the present holdings on Center street. Mayor Schneider observed that many of the people who had been quoted in a recent issue of a paper here as favoring a civic center are non-taxpayers and consequently their opinions are unimportant. Mayor Schneider heartily endorses the improvement of the present site and using the money out Continued on Page 3 NAHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, June 21, 1917 CITY HALL LOT GIVEN FREE BY J. HELMSEN RECEIVED NO COMPENSATION FOR GROUND NOW OCCUPIED BY MUNICIPAL BUILDING SUIT TO RECOVER WILL IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW ABANDONMENT OF SITE In recent discussions concerning erection of a new city hall the statement has been made that ground now occupied by the municipal building was bought from Joseph Helmsen for $300, and that, should the new city hall be erected upon another site, the city would continue to hold title to the property. The statement was also made that Mr. Helmsen had been interviewed, and had acquiesced in this view of the case. Mr. Helmsen denies absolutely being interviewed by anyone considering erection of a new city hall or abandonment of site, and he in his rights in seeking to recover the property under these conditions. Many people here remember his gift to the city, and they recall that he was publicly thanked by the city trustees for his donation. He is lying at his home critically ill, and as a result of these misstatements concerning his position he was considerably depressed for several days. In view of his benefaction and his long residence here as one of the prominent citizens of Anaheim, it would seem that before statements are attributed to him he should at least be called upon for an expression of his views concerning this entire matter. The city a few years ago purchased from N. Hart a lot fronting 27 feet on Center street, at the corner of Claudina, adjoining the 47 feet previously held by the city. The price paid was $8500. On the Hart lot there is a two-story building. Thus the city owns 74-foot frontage, which will be adequate for the erection of a new city hall.

Bledsoe of Los Angeles, being the principal speaker. His subject was "Tne Flag." He made a stirring, patriotic address which was frequently interrupted by the applauding audience.

The stage of the theatre was hung with numerous flags, a table in the center being draped with the colors. In the opening ritualistic ceremonies by the officers of the lodge a floral liberty bell was built on this table, the lower section being a brilliant red, the center snow white and the apex sky blue. At the close of this ceremony Felling's orchestra gave a musical selection after which Hans V. Weisel read an interesting history of the flag and its adoption. "The Elks' Tribute to the Flag" was the subject of a short address by W. F. Menton of Santa Ana. It was an eloquent speech, demonstrating the loyalty and patriotic spirit of the lodge. S. C. Hartranft was listed on the program for an address on the Red Cross. June, 1777.

I was not paid a cent for it, neither did I ask a cent for it, but the city was looking for a site for a new city hall, and I gave this twenty foot strip as part of a site for the building. I also contributed to a fund for the purchase of the Woermans twenty-seven feet next to me. I see there has been considerable discussion of late about removing the city hall to another location, that I was paid for this lot, and that I had been interviewed and had expressed approval for the removal of the city hall to some other point, and for the sale of the lot by the city. These statements are all untrue, and they cause me pain and distress. No one has been to see me regarding a possible change of site in the city hall." "I will say this for publication: I gave that ground to the city for a city building, free of cost, and if the city does not care to maintain a municipal building thereupon I am going to institute proceedings immediately for recovery of the property. I gave the lot to the city, and title vests in the city long as they comply with the terms of the deed. When the city fails to comply with these terms, title most certainly does not vest in it. The city has no right to sell the ground, as the ground was given specifically for a city building. If the city does not want the lot any longer for a city hall I will institute proceedings to recover the property." In taking this position Mr. Helmsen has the support of many citizens, who declare that he would be entirely with- made in the totals subscribed, it being found that only $415,100 worth of bonds had been taken here, leaving the county $740,540 below its quota.

It will be noted that this was greatly oversubscribed. The revised allotment was made five days before the end of the campaign and, that the district fell somewhat short of it is not regarded as a cause for dissatisfaction. F. C. Krause has been appointed a deputy sheriff by Sheriff Jackson. The close of this ceremony Felling's orchestra gave a musical selection after which Hans V. Weisel read an interesting history of the flag and its adoption. "The Elks' Tribute to the Flag" was the subject of a short address by W. F. Menton of Santa Ana. It was an eloquent speech, demonstrating the loyalty and patriotic spirit of the lodge. S. C. Hartranft was listed on the program for an address on the Red Cross. He gave a sketch of the origin of this important organization, and made a stirring appeal for its support. The Red Cross was established by a small body of delegates at Geneva, Switzerland, in 1863, he said. The flag of Switzerland was adopted as its emblem, but with the colors reversed. The Swiss flag is a white cross on a red field, but the flag of this humanitarian society is a red cross on a white field. Mr. Hartranft declared that every person in the United States could do his bit in the war by assisting this organization. A campaign is now on to raise a fund of one hundred million dollars for relief work, and this means only a dollar for every person in the nation. Federal Judge Benjamin F. Bledsoe of Los Angeles, was the principal speaker. The Judge is himself an Elk and is always in demand on Flag Day. The Anaheim body was particularly fortunate in securing him, but some of the members had heard him on previous occasions and knew they were getting a good thing. Flag Day holds a peculiar significance this year when the nation is feverishly preparing for war, and the Judge touched the popular chord with his patriotic utterances. He spoke for half an hour, his remarks being punctuated at intervals by unstinted applause. He handled the situation in which America finds itself without golves, and the ETTE Number 35 ELKS ATE AY BIRTHDAY OBLYAND AND STIRSE LARGE PEOPLE Banner was of the United in the 14th of lodge, which society, has its festival on the United and pays fit-temper of his speech was approved and appreciated by his auditors. The musical part of the program was fitting for the occasion. The Anaheim band opened with "The Star Spangled Banner," and closed the entertainment with "America," the audience joining in singing these anthems. Harry Felling's orchestra rendered two melodies, while Mrs. Ray Fisher and Eddie Backs sang a couple of solos each. Both singers were vociferously cheered and were compelled to return and sing again before the audience was satisfied. Mrs. Fisher sang "America for Me" and "You Have to be an American to Feel that Way." She was handed a magnificent bouquet at the end of the first song. Eddie Backs' first number was "The Story of Old Glory," and in response to the encore he sang "I love you, California." At the close of Judge Bledsoe's oration the audience arose and everybody whether he could sing or not, joined the band in rendering "America."

Mr. Fox and his eleven-year-old daughter Grace, had gone down to the beach for an outing. They were stopping at a cottage belonging to Mrs. Hawley. They spent Monday fishing in the ocean and were resting at the cottage in the evening. Mr. Fox was lying on the bed reading a newspaper. He finally laid it aside and spoke to his daughter, saying it was time to clean the fish they had caught during the day. He attempted to rise up but fell back gasping and died before the little girl reached the bedside. Phone messages were sent to this city and a number of friends went down to look after him. Backs & Terry's ambulance being summoned also, which brought the body to their undertaking parlors. Tuesday afternoon Coroner Winbigler made an inquiry and issued a certificate to the effect that death resulted from natural causes. Mr. Fox's health had not been robust for some time.

He was an old resident of Anaheim, having been in the barber business here for many years. He was a member of the Odd Fellows, and was secretary of the Eagles at the time of his death. That order will have charge of the funeral which will be held at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors this afternoon, Rev. Messias of St. Michael's church conducting the services.

It is now located in the Kistler building at 205 East Center street, and the melody that issues from that room every day is proof to pedestirians who pass that way that the instruments have no superior. Hundreds of people stop and listen to the music. Mr. Peck, the proprietor, is offering a premium for a new and appropriate name for his phonograph. Persons who wish to suggest a name should leave it with their name and address at his salesrooms not later than 10 o'clock Saturday night. A committee of the board of trade will then decide upon the most appropriate. A $40 phonograph will be given to the winner, besides he will have the honor of naming an instrument that is bound to become popular. Try your brain. Mr. Peck also handles high grade planos. CO-OPERATE IN FIRE FIGHTING That the cities in Orange county should cooperate in fire fighting activities, and the city councils should give formal approval to the plan of one city helping another in case of a bad fire was the gist of an address delivered before about fifty-five Orange county firemen at their monthly meeting at Newport Beach by Thomas Baird of the La France Fire Engine company, and formerly assistant fire chief at Fresno. He cited the case of Chief Hubbard of Venice who was injured while helping in a fire in an outside town, and the question of his compensation is now before the insurance commission. To guarantee compensation for those injured outside of their home city, Mr. Baird laid particular stress upon formal approval being given the cooperative move by the city councils. He also went into detail on the duties and responsibilities of the fire chiefs and the cooperation of their men. He said the location of fire escapes on buildings should be approved by the fire chief before the building permit is granted. Upon invitation of E. E. Wood, the next meeting of the county firemen will be held in Santa Ana, and Chief Mont Jackson will arrange the program.
