DICKEL PROPERTY RECOMMENDED FOR PARK MASS MEETING OPPOSES PROPOSED LIBRARY SITE AND ENDSES LARGER GROUNDS Nineteen and a Half Acres of Orange Trees on North Lemon Can Be Purchased for $70,000 — Stormy Debate at Meeting Monday Night—Much Disputed Question Is Probably Settled For All Time. As a site for a public park to be paid for by the issuance of municipal bonds, the library grounds were eliminated at the mass meeting held at high school, auditorium Monday night, if the voice of the people as expressed at this meeting is to prevail. For many years a large per centage of citizens have been advocating the purchase of this property for a close-in park, and the balance have been lined up in opposition. These opponents were not parks were the only ones much used, etc. G. W. Hamler declared the Dickel site is quite central enough. He thought that, when Palm street is paved, a greatly increased traffic will come down that street. The people, he said, are tired of paying large sums for things. The Dickel site has size and in time will be as central as any other. L. W. Bushard asked that Mr. Stewart tell the meeting about the Fresno downtown park, and the latter told those present that this park was most used and occupied by loafers and bums. That condition, he said, was the same in all centrally located parks he has observed. Theodore Roberts cited the larger parks at Pomona and other places, which attracted great crowds and served their purposes well. Fullerton park, to which many local people go, costs only $3,500 a year for upkeep. It cost, he had learned, only $10,000 to develop, including prices of shrubbery, plants, etc. He favored the Dickel site heartily. Horace Benjamin saw many people present who had favored the Library site in times past, and asked the Chair if he might ask some of them, as to their present attitude. The Chair ruled that he might not do so. Mr. Benjamin then said he wanted a park now, no matter where the site selected might be. Mr. Ahlborn asked that the motion of Mr. Krick be As a site for a public park to be paid for by the issuance of municipal bonds, the library grounds were eliminated at the mass meeting held at high school auditorium Monday night, if the voice of the people as expressed at this meeting is to prevail. For many years a large per centage of citizens have been advocating the purchase of this property for a close-in park, and the balance have been lined up in opposition. These opponents were not agreed on any rival site, but they were unanimous in opposing the library location. It was generally conceded that the proponents of the library grounds were in the majority, but they were talked off their feet at the mass meeting, and when a vote was finally taken on P. H. Krick's motion to recommend purchase of the H. A. Dickel property on North Lemon street, it carried with little opposition. Numerous speeches were made on both sides of the question, O. T. Cailor and J. F. Ahlborn being the chief orators favoring the library grounds, which Mayor Stark was vehement in denunciation, stating that it appeared to him the chamber of commerce was endeavoring to make the city board a goat, and trying to hoodwink the people through a straw vote, knowing that the opposition to the librarp site was so hopelessly divided that the library advocates were certain to win. Many others talked on both sides and in favor of both propositions, and various motions, and amendments were offered, but when a vote was finally taken on Krick's original motion opposition had been practically swept aside. Charles Eygabroad opened the meeting calling for the selection of a presiding officer and secretary for the meeting. Without dissent, Mr. Eygabroad was named as Chairman and M. A. Fraser, Secretary. Chairman stated the purpose of this meeting, stating that two questions were to be answered: (1) Does Anaheim want a park; (2) Where does Anaheim want the park? Henry Adams moved on the first question, that a park is wanted. Duly seconded. P. H. Krick moved amendment: "That Anaheim needs a park." Both motions were unanimously carried. Fred A. Backs named the park sites available, as far as he knew. The A. A. Mills property, 25.7 acres, for $60,000; Library Site, price not now obtainable; the H. A. Dickel property, 19 acres, $70,000; and the Depository property, $42,000. Horace Benjamin saw many people present who had favored the Library site in times past, and asked the Chair if he might ask some of them, as to their present attitude. The Chair ruled that he might not do so. Mr. Benjamin then said he wanted a park now, no matter where the site selected might be. Mr. Ahlborn asked that the motion of Mr. Krick be amended to include the Advisory vote method of determination. No action. O. T. Cailor moved to amend Mr. Krick's motion: "That the people decide by having an advisory vote, either on election day, or some ther date, when a vote of the majority should govern. Mr. Ahlborn seconded. Trustee Gates explained his stand, stating that he was largely instrumental in the matter of selection of the Library site, by the Trustees. He personally favored no particular site. As soon as the Trustees' resolution naming the Library Site came up for consideration, the C. of C. had suggested, at a meeting, at which several of the Trustees were present, the Advisory method. He opposed this and still opposes it. In his mind, we will only get a park by putting up one proposition. The Advisory Ballot scheme is unfair, because the Library Site will have the advantage. He said the library site should be given another chance; if lost, drop it. Mr. Webb asked if Trustees had gone on record for Library Site, and Mr. Gates explained that final action on this point had not yet been taken. Mr. Webb asked why the sum of $100,-000 should be stated in the election resolution, when no one knows what the park will cost. Mr. Krick disliked the proposed amendment to his motion, because the end would be the selection of the Library Site, and the real will of the voters would be lost. Mr. Cailor asked if it was fair that 5,000 persons in Anaheim should be bound to any one site, because the small number were present were. Mayor Stark suggested that the Chamber of Commerce was attempting to mislead people. He had been carrying out the wishes of the C. of C. in naming the Library Site, and now he wanted it changed. The secretary of the Chamber of Commerce reminded the Mayor that the Chamber had only made suggestions once to the Trustees, but the Mayor stated that it was the same bunch of people, only under development, including prices of shrubbery, plants, etc. He favored the Dickel site heartily. Horace Benjamin saw many people present who had favored the Library site in times past, and asked the Chair if he might ask some of them, as to their present attitude.

Henry Adams moved on the first question, that a park is wanted. Duly seconded, P. H. Krick moved amendment: "That Anaheim needs a park." Both motions were unanimously carried. Fred A. Backs named the park sites available, as far as he knew. The A. A. Mills property, 25.7 acres, for $60,000; Library Site, price not now obtainable; the H. A. Dickel property, 19 acres, $70,000; and the Bremmerman site, $42,000. H. H. Benjamin thought that, if the Library Site were named in connection with the election October 5, the same would be lost. He favored an advisory ballot, on the lines already suggested to the Trustees. Mr. Dickel said he did not particularly care to sell his property as a park site but wishes to do his duty as a citizen and would forego the added profit, to be obtained from subdivision, if the City wanted it. He thought a park for Anaheim should contain more than four acres. Mr. Krick moved that it be the sense of this meeting that the Dickel site was the most appropriate for a park for Anaheim. Anaheim, he thought, is the principal city of Northern Orange County, and must hold this lead; if this is done, a proper park must be established without delay. W. H. Kennedy seconded the motion, and the question was brought up. Mr. Ahiborn explained the stand he had taken for a centrally located park; he thought the Library site the best, because he had travelled all over the State, and found that centrally located parks served the most of the people the best. He mentioned Fresno and other cities, to support his argument, where he had found that the central Mayor Stark suggested that the Chamber of Commerce was attempting to mislead people. He had been carrying out the wishes of the C. of C. in naming the Library Site, and now he wanted it changed. The secretary of the Chamber of Commerce reminded the Mayor that the Chamber had only made suggestions once to the Trustees, but the Mayor stated that it was the same bunch of people, only under a different name. Mr. Krick moved an amendment to the amendment, that, by advisory vote, it be decided whether the people want a park on the Library Site or on a larger site. Seconded by Mr. Hollingshead. Mr. Dickel said his site would not be open as such after October 5. Mr. Roberts thought that it should be put up as of the Library Site vs. the Dickel Site. Mayor Stark stated condemnation proceedings had already been started on the Library Site. Mr. Krick's resolution, favoring the Dickel site, was carried by a strong majority, the amendment and the amendment to the amendment having lost decisively. Mrs. G. R. Messias, chairman of the Poppy Day committee, reports the sale of $107.60 worth of Popples during the drive Saturday. This money is to be used for the benefit of French war orphans. Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Mills received word a few days ago that they are now grandparents, a daughter having been born to their daughter, Mrs. Lyman Davis of Detroit. That it is costlier only $167.80 per maintain its system highways was then by County Engineer after completing for supervisors, a statistic in the road system. This figure is said that of most counties because of this McBride of the board are McBride declared highways of Orange er than most of the ways of the state, ber of cases the greater than it is one county payin its roads than McBride said, but geles county road greater damage to traffic. In figuring the AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, September 23, 1920 WALNUT HARVEST IN PROGRESS THIS WEEK ANAHEIM ASSOCIATION RECEIVING NUTS, AND WILL SHIP EARLY NEXT WEEK. Local Plant Will Handle 700 Tons This Season—Nuts of Good Quality, But Prices Will Be Lower Than Last Year—Growers Throughout Country Report No Difficulty in Securing Pickers. Throughout all of Orange county walnut harvest is in progress this week, and the packing houses are open for business. The Anaheim Walnut Growers Association is receiving nuts, but no shipments will be made this week. The first car will be sent cut probably the first of next week. Harvest began in some of the orchards last week, and probably packing houses at other points will start nuts for the market this week. Manager Ross of the Anaheim Association says his house will handle 700 tons of nut this season. The crop of maintaining the roads, McBride included the flood damage of 1916, depreciation on equipment and oil plant and the cost of putting new Topeka tops on the Dyer and Buena Park roads and a 4-inch concrete top on the Los Alamitos road. The total cost of the three improvement jobs was $32,300. The work on which McBride figured was confined exclusively to the 127.3 miles of paving provided for under the county's $1,270,000 road bond issue. The small upkeep cost shown in McBride's figures was contrary to the belief of many except those closely associated with the work and even to some of those, McBride declared the figures proved an agreeable surprise. The average life of the roads in question is 4.06 years. Of the amount charged against maintenance $79.18 per mile went into labor and material. A. U.

Although disappointed in their expectations of hearing a speech Anaheim people were privileged to get a close-up view of a candidate for the exalted office of President of the United States Monday evening. Governor James M. Cox of Ohio, democratic nominee for the presidency, passed through this city Monday evening on the way from San Diego to Los Angeles, and the special Santa Fe train bearing him paused long enough to permit him to show himself to the assembled crowd and extend greetings. government and are an environment. Thorpe of Bolshev government and by folded arm this country. "What we of industry or even crumulation spread thru this nation." "I am is complining the employ Orange County association to receive." "Twenty heard of day there tween than there two groups gether. One one for it." "When employers you to be." The A.U. big su walnut harvest is in progress this week, and the packing houses are open for business. The Anaheim Walnut Growers Association is receiving nuts, but no shipments will be made this week. The first car will be sent cut probably the first of next week. Harvest began in some of the orchards last week, and probably packing houses at other points will start nuts for the market this week. Manager Ross of the Anaheim Association says his house will handle 700 tons of nuts this season. The crop here is a normal one, but the yield per acre is only 85 per cent of the record crop of last season. The nuts are of good quality and will grade well, but the extraordinary prices of last year will not be received for this year's crop. The Anaheim association now controls over 1200 acres of nuts. A long list of new members has been added to the association's roll, the association's business having doubled since Mr. Ross assumed the management two years ago. The association has just completed a large addition to its plant and has installed new equipment, which enables it to handle the increased business. It is said there will be no shortage of labor this year in picking and handling wa nuts, such as handicapped the business least year and the year before. Pickers throughout the country report that they are experiencing no difficulty in getting such help as they need for orchard work. An 80 per cent crop is expected in the county, and it is reported the nuts are of better grade than the crop of last year. The hot spell of July and August did not damage the nuts materially, causing only a little earlier ripening. The central association with offices in Los Angeles has not yet set prices for the season's crop. It is believed that prices will be somewhat lower than last season. Budded nuts of uniform grade got 34 cents last year and the seedlings ran 31 1-2 cents for No. 1 and 26 for No. 2. Because of the inequality of exchange between France and the United States, the prices this year are expected to be somewhat lower than last. France has shipped into this country nearly as many walnuts as are grown in the state. While the California brand is of a superior quality, the ability of the French nuts to undersell the native brand on the market is expected to decrease the price from last season. Owing to unsettled conditions the association can change its prices during the season to A. U. WATER COMPANY EXTENDING PIPE LINE Abandonment of Open Ditch at Several Places Being Considered.

Superintendent reported on work at the head of the ditch at pumping Plant No. 1 and on the new well on Gomber tract. Superintendent reported that the Fullerton and Placentia Zanjero were bing furnished houses and the Anaheim Zanjero was furnishing his own. Upon motion by Thanner healm people were privileged to get a close-up view of a candidate for the exalted office of President of the United States Monday evening. Governor James M. Cox of Ohio, democratic nominee for the presidency, passed through this city Monday evening on the way from San Diego to Los Angeles, and the special Santa Fe train bearing him paused long enough to permit him to show himself to the assembled crowd and extend greetings. His train war traveling as the second section of the regular San Diego train passing here at 5:40. It was announced that a ten minute stop would be made here to enable the candidate to make a short address, and a large crowd of people gathered at the depot for the purpose of both seeing and hearing him. The crowd was composed principally of curious republicans, but there was a sprinkling of faithful democrats among them, and when the governor appeared he was generously applauded by democrats and republicans alike. Governor Cox probably realizes that the chief art of successful public speaking is to stop just when the audience is expecting and wanting more.* At any rate his remarks were conspicuous by their brevity. "I am passing through at an auspicious time," he said. "This is the supper hour, and any housewife can tell you that it requires an extraordinary attraction to induce a man to forego his supper. I come among you advocating the doctrine of progress—progress and peace. Events of the past few years have demonstrated to us all the horrors of war. Wars have been numerous under the old system, but I am favoring a policy that will make future wars impossible. Good-bye." The train began to move before the good-bye was spoken, and the governor faded rapidly into the distance, leaving two or three hundred people with two or three hundred mouns agape, staring after the receding train. "Is that all—is it really all?" inquired an astonished woman, and then the crowd laughed. They were disappointed in failing to hear a speech, but they had seen a candidate—the nominee of a great political party, for the highest office in the land, and they were satisfied. Before the train pulled out a box of luscious Anaheim oranges was carried in the governor's car, the gift of some admiring follower* of the candidate. EMPLOYEE AND EMPLOYER COST OF KEEPING UP THE COUNTY'S HIGHWAYS Engineer McBride Submits A Report To Supervisors. That it is costing Orange county only $167.80 per mile per year to maintain its system of paved county highways was the statement made by County Engineer J. L. McBride after completing for the board of supervisors, a statistical report covering the road system of the county. This figure is said to be less than that of most counties of the state and because of this McBride and members of the board are greatly pleased. McBride declares that the paved highways of Orange county are older than most of the other paved highways of the state, but that in a number of cases the cost of upkeep is greater than it is here. Los Angeles is one county paying more to maintain its roads than Orange county, McBride said, but he stated Los Angeles county roads are subject to greater damage because of heavier traffic. In figuring the average yearly cost Oil production reports of the Anal-gamated Oil Co., and the St. Helens Petroleum Company read and upon motion ordered filed. Superintendent reported on work at the head of the ditch at pumping plant No. 1 and on the new well on Gomber tract. Superintendent reported that the Fullerton and Placentia Zanjero were bing furnished houses and the Anaheim Zanjero was furnishing his own. Upon motion by Thanner seconded by Miller Anaheim Zanjero was allowed $20.00 per month in addition to his regular pay for house rent. Upon motion by Thamer seconded by Miller, Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia Zanjero be granted a $15.00 per month raise in salary. Said raise to come in the way of a bonus to be paid October 1st, 1920 and upon condition that they stay the full time until that date. Motfoned by McFaddein seconded by Annin that assistant superintendet W. B. Parrett be paid $235.00 per month, he to furnish his own gasoline and oil. Seventh and eighth grade pupils at Fremont school here today voted unanimously in favor of the Junior High School plan. This plan provides for one general study hall and will be adopted immediately. The present auditorium will be used as a study hall. A course of elective studies for the junior high school pupils is to be worked out in the near future and submitted to county school authorities.

Employers and employees in the auto industry of Orange county today were recalling this pertinent statement, made by R. G.

Thorpe discussed one of the big problems confronting the world today while the picknickers were discussing the contents of the well-filled lunch baskets. He recounted the difference between the strikes of today and those of fifteen and twenty-five years ago. Years ago they were mostly local, and against an individual.

It had been given out that the game was only for practice, and the way the Anaheim Elks ball team toyed with the Santa Monica aggregation Sunday afternoon the dope proved correct, so far as the locals were concerned. The chapters toured along in the one-two-three fashion until the fateful seventh arrived, when Isaacs, centerfielder for the visitors, skidded when a pretty high fly came his way, when the sacks were full, and the way the Anaheim herd scampered home reminded old timers of heavy snow in the higher altitudes.

At the park they found long tables awaiting them, and in the shade they spread their lunches. The Santa Catalina Island company provided the table accommodations and distributed a number of five-gallon bottles of distilled water through the grounds. Forty gallons of coffee and twenty-five gallons of ice cream were provided by the association, and these were served by a committee from the association. John Knox was "speller" during the day, and it was conceded by all that he has "some" lung power. The committee serving was composed of Paul Price and A. H. Sitton, Fullerton; Chas. Mann, Harry Riley, Geo. Dunton, Scott Walters and Floyd West, Anaheim; Ed Chapman, Orange; C. L. Davies, O. A. Haley, Otto Haan, Earl Matthews, Joe Stout, John Knox, Frank Sawyer, Bob Atkinson, Bud McClay, Walter Biddick and G. F. Wheeler, Santa Ana; E. L. Walter and A. D. Catterlin of the Welnstock-Nickols company of Los Angeles, and W. G. Corey of the McCoy Motor Supply company of Los Angeles. After luncheon the party split up and each chose the entertainment he preferred. Some went on the glass bottom boats and viewed the marine gardens, while others took strolls about the island, viewing points of interest. Between 200 and 300 stayed over to return home Sunday to take the J. McAfee Catalina Flyer trip around the island Saturday night, leaving at a trace. The local team is no doubt the strongest in the state outside of professional territory and many believe they could show the big brush gents the time of their lives if given a chance. The boys are ball players, are well managed and are picked for winners in the final series. The team will be greatly strengthened by Glenn Callan. He has been away, but every effort is being made to have him join the nine. Glenn is a star third baseman. Manager Pete Hax is counting the days now before the start is made up north. Pete is very careful, but he tells all his friends that he picks the home lads to win in a walk. If by any cruel twist of fate the jinx should happen to fall upon the home lads and they should lose update the accompanying fans would surely have to phone for money. But then whats the use of talking about impossibilities. 8 p.m. Special arrangements for the trip were made by J. McAfee. The Avalon departed from the island on the return trip Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock and docked at the Wilmington terminal at 6 30. On the return the passengers got to see all that is promised on a ride across the channel—a spouting whale, a school of porpoises and a number of flying fish. It was a happy affair and a successful picnic. The picnic committee was composed of Harry Riley of Anaheim, A. H. Sitton of Fullerton, and C. H. McCausland of Santa Ana, the same committee which put over the big auto show at Anaheim.
