CITY MAY RESUME STREET PAVING ACTIVITIES CITY MANAGER STEWARD SUBMITS LIST OF ALLEYS WHICH SHOULD BE PAVED First Step Taken by Trustees Toward Establishing Assessment District for Purpose of Completing Work of Cutting Back Buildings on West Center—Marshal's Salary Raised Paving activities ceased in Anaheim at the outbreak of the war, will be resumed if the recommendations of City Manager Steward are accepted by the trustees, and there appears to be a disposition on the part of the members of that body to adopt his plans. At the adjourned meeting of the board Thursday night Mr. Steward submitted a list of alleys that should be paved, and the proposition met with the board's approval. Trustee Backs also suggested that Chartres street from Lemon to Philadelphia, be included in the pavement on "The Significance of the Farm Bureau in the Community." In part he said that this organization stood for community upbuilding, in unity of effort and above all true Americanism. He pointed out numerous projects which other rural communities in the state had accomplished through the farm bureau. The farm advisor gave a progress report on the activities of the drainage committee, preliminary to filing of the petition with the board of supervisors. The history of the drainage project was explained up to the time of the appointment of the present committee consisting of Mr. Henry Gatzens and Mr. S. H. Bowman. Outlet for the proposed Cypress drainage district has been granted by the Bixby, Hellman and Clark interests through their properties and drainage canals. Mr. Bixby and Mr. Hamilton, representing Senator Clark, have offered to appear before the board of supervisors at their hearing of the petition. The petition now has one hundred more names than the law requires and will be filed with the supervisors this week. W. W. Weir, drainage engineer of the University of California, will be in the county soon to meet with the Cypress committee and look over the situation.

This is in the rear of the Robert's block. Between Center and Broadway, from Claudina to Philadelphia, rear of old city hall; also alley in rear of Alexander Henry residence, from Philadelphia to Claudina, between Center and Broadway; between Los Angeles and Claudina, from Broadway to alley in rear of First National bank. Mr. Steward recommended that the alleys be paved with concrete five inches thick, but streets should have a 4½-inch concrete base with an inch and a half top of warrenite. He was instructed to get estimates on different kinds of paving. An ordinance fixing and defining the miles of West Center and South Los Angeles streets was introduced and read for the first time. This will be adopted at the next meeting and will be the first step toward establishing an assessment district to complete the widening of West Center street. All the buildings in the block between Los Angeles and Lemon, fronting on Center street, have been cut down to conform to the new line established for widening the street with the exception of the Dreyfus block on the Los Angeles street corner and the Kroeger building in the middle of the block, and the establishment of the district is for the purpose of having these building cut back. Owing to the fact that Trustees Gibbs and Gates were absent, the appointment of a city marshal was not taken up at this meeting, as it was deemed advisable to have a full membership present when a new chief of police, is selected, but Ordinance No. 376, increasing the salary of the marshal from $100 to $150 per month was passed and approved by Mayor Stark.

Principal Plummer of the Fullerton high school wants to hold a discussion on the outfall sewer proposition at the Welfare League meeting to be held at Fullerton June 1, and wanted to know if the board had any objections. He was referred to the sewer committee. CYPRESS DRAINAGE PETITION One of the biggest community meetings ever held in Cypress was called last Monday under the auspices of the Buena Park farm center. The entire capacity of the school was crowded and many had to stand. The ladies of Cypress had prepared splendid refreshments and a musical program of local talent for the evening. Dr. J. R. Schofield, county secretary of the farm bureau, addressed the cost of installation of a scale for the community. A fifteen ton capacity scale completely installed will cost about $650. A twenty tone scale is figured at a little less than $10p0. The committee will plan a scheme for financing the installation and report at the next meeting. A discussion on "Summer Orchard Culture" was led by the farm advisor. The farm bureau ballot on the Oriental question was given to the members of the center with instructions from the chairman to fill out and mail to the farm advisor's oce within two weeks. Director Cleghorn made a report to the center of the proceedings of the county meeting in which he urged preparing exhibit material for the county fair. He announced the citrus nistitute; and proposed the election of Mrs. Wahlberg to honorary membership of the Harper farm center. His motion was unanimously supported. The meeting adjourned to a program of music and refreshments prepared by the ladies of the center. BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL A committee was appointed some time ago to draft a new building, plumbing and electric wiring ordinance to replace the old one which is antequated, is on foot in Fullerton. B. L. Goodrich was a member of the committee to draft the plumbing ordinance and he submitted it to the trustees, it covering 22 large pages which he wrote himself in longhand, indicating that he burned the midnight oil for several nights. He was complimented by the city attorney upon the excellency of his work. Rev. J. F. Humphrey, M. E. church, reported that of his congregation stock proval of the board's action against it. Rev. F. H. Salem Evangelical church voice cast, all of them faction of Mr. Abernathy Schmelzer of Zion Lutheran to ask an expression of half the children of that tend a parochial school.

He wouldn't tell when extract, nor the particular In view of the fact that en an extra large quantity doubled his fine and assisted instead of the usual $5.

Head of Schools Asked to Resign, But He Refuses to Comply With the Request—One Member of the Board Stands With Him—Churches Take a Hand, Congregations Expressing Their Sentiments Antagnoisms between Supt. J. R. Abernathy of the Anaheim grammar schools and the board of trustees reached a culminating point Tuesday night when the board, by a vote of two to one, summarily dismissed the superintendent. The resolution of dismissal was introduced by G. W. Sloop, and Messrs. Sloop and Chambers voted for it, while Mr. Pomeroy stood by the superintendent and voted against it. The resolution stated that Mr. Abernathy was dismissed for cause, but did U. R. K. P. COMPANY RETURNS FROM CAMP San Diego Company Wins Col. Beale's Prize Offer Col. B. T. Beale and his U. R. K. P. boys have returned from the state encampment held at Camp Curry, Yosemite valley. Twenty-three members of Co. 26 of this city attended. Col. Beale, who is commander of the third regiment, offered a beautiful silver cup to the company sending the largest membership to camp. The colonel was hoping his home boys would win, but they were nosed out by San Diego. The encampment proved an enjoyable affair for all who attended. This occasion was the annual session of the grand lodge as well as the encampment of the uniformed boys. C. A. Crise and Frank Goodrich, members of Company 26, were delegates to the grand lodge. Among those who accompanied Col. Beale were Col. Cobb, Capt. Walter Armstutz, Capt. William Houser, Lieut. C. A. Crias, Lieut. J. Touseou, J. S. Rockwell, W. C. West, Clarence Shaw, E. A.

A boundaries committee, of which Col. S. H. Finley was chairman, recommended that the boundary lines of the county should comprise the boundary lines of the district, and the recommendation was endorsed.

Solo by Mr. AHEIM GAZETT Abernathy of the Anaheim grammar schools and the board of trustees reached a culminating point Tuesday night when the board, by a vote of two to one, summarily dismissed the superintendent. The resolution of dismissal was introduced by G. W. Sloop, and Messrs. Sloop and Chambers voted for it, while Mr. Pomeroy stood by the superintendent and voted against it. The resolution stated that Mr. Abernathy was dismissed for cause, but did not make a specific charge. There is a probability that the matter will be aired in court, as Mr. Abernathy states he has a four-year contract with the board, and claims the trustees can show no just reason for dismissing him. There is a wide division among the people over the matter, and the community is considerably stirre up. Mr. Abernathy's friends hold that the board had no just cause for the summary action, while the friends of Messrs. Chambers and Sloop think they had good reason, although the board has as yet made no specific charges. This question, it is said, was the principal issue in the election some weeks ago in which Mr. Sloop and Thomas Hoag were candidates for the vacancy on the board. Mr. Abernathy, it is claimed, supported Mr. Hoag, and had he been elected the board would have stood two to one for retention of the superintendent. Even some of the churches appear to be taking part in the dispute, a straw vote being taken at two of them Sunday. The question was asked each member of the congregation whether or not he or she "endorsed the action taken by Trustees Sloop and Chambers on the evening of May 18, in which they adopted a resolution asking for the resignation of J. R. Abernathy, district superintendent of the grammar schools, who is acting under a four-year contract, which was executed June 4, 1919." Rev. J. F. Humphrey, pastor of the M. E. church, reported that the ballot of his congregation stood 20 for approval of the board's action and 130 against it. Rev. F. H. Doescher of Salem Evangelical church reported 80 votes cast, all of them favoring retention of Mr. Abernathy. Rev. H. G. Schmelzer of Zion Lutheran declined to ask an expression of his people as half the children of that church attend a parochial school. FARM CENTERS VERY ACTIVE The month of May has been an exceptionally active one for the farm bureau office and centers throughout the county. Most of the centers have provided special local programs and the ladies have materially assisted in serving refreshments, which has always attracted a good attendance. Elither Mr. Belding, president of the farm bureau, or Dr. Schofield, secretary, have been present at every meeting and emphasized the work of the farm bureau throughout the state as well as Orange county. Here is what the various centers have been doing this month: Tustin—Address by Mr. Belding. Talk by farm advisor—business. El Modena—Local program by school children. Address by Mr. Belding. High school bonds, Capt. Brunton. Car shortage, C. W. Post. Anaheim—Address by Dr. J. R. Schofield. Citrus institute, farm advisor. The packing house, W. H. Schureman, Refreshments, ladies aid.

West Orange—Hawaii, James Smiley. Farm bureau ballot, farm advisor. Orchestra music. Refreshments. Villa Park—Fertilizers, Dr. S. S. Circulation of the petitions will commence at once and it is hoped to have several hundred petitions out and distributed before Decoration Day. The suggestion was made by Jack Wallace, chairman of the committee, that the petitions should be in circulation before Memorial Day because of the fact that interest of cemetery lot owners in their plots in the Silent City are greater around this annual event than at any other time of the year. Interest in enlarging the district to include the whole county was found in the north half of the county and investigations by Finley and Henry Hettebrink, president of Anaheim association, led them to the conclusion that there would be no objection whatever in the northern end of the county to making the district county-wide. The executive, petition and boundaries committees were authorized to name the three trustees to act for the first term, and when these are selected the petitions will be printed. The committees will attempt to equalize the county in representation on the board of trustees, selecting from those sections in which are located the larger cemeteries that will benefit from the organization of the district. As to the circulation of the petitions, the chairman of the committee reported that an attempt would be made first to cover each precinct in the county with volunteer workers and in event enough signatures were not secured, to follow up their work by placing hired circulators in the field. It is estimated that at least 10,000 names will be necessary to make the petition effective. By getting the signatures at this time only those who have registered at the time of the presentation of the petition will have to be checked against. The registration at this time is between 18,000 and 19,000. It probably will be between 25,000 and 30,000 by the November election.

THE DEADLY LEMON Lemon will be worth more money in the future, in the opinion of City Recorder Heathman of Santa Ana, following an experience with a drunk Monday morning. Lemon extract carries a kick, according to the prisoner, who was Manuel Guazo. He was arrested yesterday for being drunk. In court this morning he told the city recorder that lemon extract was responsible for his condition. "How much extract did it take to make you drunk?" he was asked. "Well, judge, I bought it in small phials (indicating size by the length of his index finger) and I downed 20 of them before I got the results I was after." He wouldn't tell where he got the extract, nor the particular brand. In view of the fact that he had taken an extra large quantity, Heathman doubled his fine and assessed him $10 instead of the usual $5. The Philadelphia Public Ledger says the proceedings at San Remo indicate that Europe is preparing to sue for a divorce from the United States, but it is probable when the suit is filed, it will include a charge of non-support and a demand for liberal allony.

Jose Martinez, who is charged with kidnaping a 13-year-old girl from her home at Los Nietos some three weeks ago, was located at Corona by City Marshal Myers and placed under arrest. He was taken to the jail in Los Angeles. The girl was also taken in charge and will appear against Martinez. The girl was taken from her home by Martinez, it is alleged, in an automobile not secured to follow up their work by placing hired circulators in the field. It is estimated that at least 10,000 names will be necessary to make the petition effective. By getting the signatures at this time only those who have registered at the time of the presentation of the petition will have to be checked against. The registration at this time is between 18,000 and 19,000. It probably will be between 25,000 and 30,000 by the November election.

Rev. A. B. Markle, chaplain of Malvern Hill Post, who usually has charge of arrangements in Anaheim, states that he has notified President Webb of Anaheim Post, that the boys are expected to take a leading part in the services and furnish a speaker. Webb is scouting around seeking a spellbinder, who wore the khaki in France, and will probably secure one. Following is the program of the day: The G. A. R. will assemble at the arch at the entrance to the cemetery at 9:45 a.m., where they will be joined by the American Legion and march to the mausoleum, where the program will be given. America.

PICKING MARSHAL TRYING TASK FOR TRUSTEES AT PRESENT WRITING NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHO WILL KNOCK THE PERSIMMON Dark Horses stand in Background in Receptive Mood Willing to Take a chance—No Doubt Tonight's Meeting Will Settle the Question The appointment of a successor to Marshal A. W. Wood, who has tendered his resignation to the board of trustees, still remains in abeyance. The office is an important one and besides being marshal, that official is license and tax collector. There are several local compatriots who are willing to serve the city in the capacity of generalissimo of the police department, but from the latest information gathered from the form sheet the trustees have not as yet made up their minds as to who shall receive the coveted honor. It is said Marshal Wood resignation comes as a final ASSOCIATION WILL DISCUSS GAS SUPPLY Orange County Auto Men to Meet at J. E. Walter's Place The gas situation and discussion of the best method of regulation with a view to suggesting and cooperating with manufacturers in protection of the commercial users will probably be one of the big features of the regular monthly meeting of the Orange County Auto Trades Association to be held at J. E. Walters' place in Anaheim Friday evening. The members of the association are fully aware of the seriousness of the situation and will endeavor to offer their assistance in solution of the vexing question. It is believed that the time is not far distant when pleasure cars will have to go on allotment. The dealers can very materially assist in regulation. Gasoline stations in Santa Ana today are on allotment and have been all this week. The allotment is generous yet not in the amount the stations have been accustomed to having daily. It is a temporary matter, in the opinion of the local managers of the wholesale distributing concern operating here. The situation in Southern California is much better than it is in the northern and central parts of the state, where autoists have been on "rations" more or less for some weeks. The committee in charge of the recent auto show has not yet been able to assemble all the details of the big and most successful affair and, for this reason no final report will be made at trustees, still remains in abeyance. The office is an important one and besides being marshal, that official is license and tax collector. There are several local compatriots who are willing to serve the city in the capacity of generalissimo of the police department, but from the latest information gathered from the form sheet the trustees have not as yet made up their minds as to who shall receive the coveted honor. It is said Marshal Woods resignation comes as a final decision from that gentleman and he is out of the race. At one time it looked as though Jack Iman, formerly undersheriff, would be selected, but owing to a disagreement with one of the trustees, it is said his name has been withdrawn. Deputy Marshal O. B. Baxter has filed an application for the office. Frank Steadman, former marshal of this city for nineteen years, backed by many friends who have petitioned the board, asking for his appointment, has consented to throw his hat into the ring. Steadman, in his day, was a terror to evildoers, and made a good police officer. Several dark horses it is understood are in the background, and it is surmised there are others who look with longing eyes toward the marshalship, but have not yet mustered up enough courage to say so. Marshal Wood will hold office until his successor has been duly elected. In all probability the trustees will make an appointment at tonights meeting. GOOD OIL INDICATIONS NEAR NEWPORT BEACH New Well Rapidly Going Down and Signs are Encouraging Some of the fastest drilling in the history of Orange county's oil fields has been done in the past few weeks in the Newport district at the well being put down by the Long Beach Consolidated Oil company. The well is now down to between 1000 and 1100 feet and reports are that the hole is making an excellent showing. Three shifts have been working continuously on this well since the drilling was started, and this plan is to be continued, it is said, either until oil is struck or it is decided to give up the well. of the wholesale distributing concern operating here. The situation in Southern California is much better than it is in the northern and central parts of the state, where autoists have been on "rations" more or less for some weeks. The committee in charge of the recent auto show has not yet been able to assemble all the details of the big and most successful affair and for this reason no final report will be made at next Friday's meeting. It is probable that at a later date a special meeting will be called and an entire evening devoted to the report and discussion of next year's show. WOMAN ENGINEER There is no field these days that women cannot enter. Fullerton now has a woman assistant city engineer and is probably the only city in this state or perhaps any other state, who can make such claim. The city board of trustees appointed Mrs. Wm. M. Gillette to the position of assistant city engineer at the city pupmping plant at a salary of $75 per month on motion of Trustee Drake, which carried unanimously. Mrs. Gillette made application for the position, stating that she had three years' experience, is thoroughly familiar with the plant and competent to handle the work, as often during that time she has had entire charge, either during the forced absence or sickness of her hcsband, who is city engineer. The present national administration put the "con" in economy all right, but owing to the resistance of the senate it hasn't put the "can" to American. in the Newport district at the well being put down by the Long Beach Consolidated Oil company. The well is now down to between 1000 and 1100 feet and reports are that the hole is making an excellent showing. Three shifts have been working continuously on this well since the drilling was started, and this plan is to be continued, it is said, either until oil is struck or it is decided to give up the well. For several days practically no headway was made in the hole because of the asphalt formation that was struck at a depth of about 600 feet. The tool in striking this mass would become coated with the heavy formation and would have to be withdrawn and scraped off with a shovel. Reports from the Coalinga-Mohawk company well, drilling back of the Palisades Tavern, are also to the effect that a good showing is being made. This well is down about 900 feet and it is said a strong gas pressure has been struck in the last few days. The "mystery well" being drilled on the bay flat between the glass factory and West Newport continues to attract considerable attention, but very little work has been done here recently. The last report from this well was the rotary outfit with which the well was started was to be removed and a standard rig erected. The unanimity which democrats are staying from the primaries this spring seems to prove that they are already practicing for election day. Much of the trouble we are now in as a nation is due to the fact that during the war the administration spent so much money it didn't have for the things it didn't get.
