EMPLOY ARTISTS TO DRAW PLANS FOR PARK MESSRS. COOK AND HALL, OF LOS ANGELES, ENGAGED FOR THE WORK City to Pay Them $1150 for Complete Plans and Pictorial Birdseye View—Plans and Pictorial Birdseye View—Library Board Disagrees Over Appropriation for Next Year—J. D. Lavin Files Minority Report, Objecting to Employment of Another Librarian. The city trustees Thursday evening entered into a contract with Messrs. Cook and Hall, landscape artists of Los Angeles, for the drawings of plans for the city park, also for a birdseye view of the same as it will appear when the plans are carried out. The price to be paid the artists is $1150, and these gentlemen agree to furnish the city something that is worth the money. The pictorial view of the park is to be two by three feet in dimen- out for your information the items that in my opinion should not be allowed by your board and as a taxpayer to file my objection to the same. "The budget calls for the appointment of a third librarian at an expense to the taxpayers of $720 for the first year. This expense will be increased each year as the librarian increases in efficiency. "This third assistant is required for the purpose of keeping the library open twelve hours instead of seven as heretofore, and to lighten the work of the present two librarians, so we are informed by Miss Calnon, yet this lady is not so fatigued with her duties in the library as to prevent her from holding a position as bookkeeper with a city firm and drawing a second salary. This request for a third librarian was made a year ago and was rejected by the board, the board being of the opinion that the present hours of the library accommodated all classes of its patrons, that it would be an expense upon the taxpayers that was not necessary and that the duties of the two librarians were not at all onerous. "The budget provided for an increase of salary of $120 for each of the first and second librarians. These increases were also asked last year, but only allowed in small part, and by dispensing with the purchase of some minor articles. If last year the board did not feel themselves warranted in granting this increase when the cost The city trustees Thursday evening entered into a contract with Messrs. Cook and Hall, landscape artists of Los Angeles, for the drawings of plans for the city park, also for a birdseye view of the same as it will appear when the plans are carried out. The price to be paid the artists is $1150, and these gentlemen agree to furnish the city something that is worth the money. The pictorial view of the park is to be two by three feet in dimensions, and will be an exact view of the park when completed as it will appear to you from an airplane, if you care to go up into the sky and look down upon it. In addition to the birdseye view the architect shall furnish to the city under the contract, the following: First—Preliminary sketches showing possible solution of the problem based on a program of what is desired by the trustees for their consideration and approval in order that the architects may then proceed with the preliminary plan. Second—A preliminary plan to be drawn to a scale of forty feet to one inch and based on engineering data furnished by the city engineering department at their own cost showing in a general way location of lawns, plants, trees, athletic field and structures and all other features to be located thereon and to be accompanied by an explanatory report, making clear the intent the plan. This preliminary plan will be prepared in consultation from time to time. Third—A grading plan drawn to a scale of 40 feet to one inch, showing contour intervals of one foot for park construction, disposition of surface and drainage waters to be determined in conferences with the city engineer, said plant to be drawn to meet the approval of the trustees. Fourth—A planting plan drawn to a scale of 40 feet to one inch, incorporating all the elements set forth in the preliminary plan as approved by trustees with any minor changes that may have been decided upon. Sixth—A pictorial birdseye plan to be approximately two by three feet showing in sketch perspective the various structures, elements and units, and so drawn as to be suitable for reproduction purposes.

"The budget provided for an increase of salary of $120 for each of the first and second librarians. These increases were also asked last year, but only allowed in small part, and by dispensing with the purchase of some minor articles. If last year the board did not feel themselves warranted in granting this increase when the cost of living was much higher than now, why should this increase be granted now, when pre-war salaries are being reduced and accepted by employees on every hand? "This increase, if allowed, will bring the first librarian's salary to $1560, or more than your board formerly appropriated for the entire expense of the library only a few years ago." "The budget also increases the salary of the janitor from $60 to $75 per month. When the present janitor was engaged last year it was with the distinct understanding that $60 per month would be the maximum salary he might expect to receive, when it is considered that this man works for the library only one-half day each work day and the board contemplates installing a sprinkling system on the lawn, which will materially reduce his labor. I am of the opinion that his present compensation is sufficient for the hours and labor he gives. "In the item of new furniture, $900 is asked as against $600 last year; there are some articles enumerated that can be dispensed with for another year or two and the amount for furniture fixed at the same as last year without impairing the usefulness of the library. "For varnishing and tinting $223 (estimated cost) is asked. In my opinion this expense can also be postponed another year or two. "In conclusion I would respectfully recommend that instead of appropriating $8113, as asked for in the budget, that the amount be fixed the same as last year, viz., $6000, and thereby save the taxpayers this handsome difference.

Sixth—A pictorial birdseye plan to be approximately two by three feet showing in sketch perspective the various structures, elements and units, and so drawn as to be suitable for reproduction purposes. There appears to be a difference of opinion among members of the library board relative to the conduct of that institution during the coming year. The annual report of the board submitted to the city trustees Thursday night, which was signed by Fred Back and A. B. McCord, recommended the appointment of another assistant librarian at a salary of $720, provided it was decided to keep the building open twelve hours a day. It also recommended an increase in salary of $120 per year for the librarian and first assistant, also appropriations for other items, the total appropriation asked for being $8100. J. D. Lavin, also a member of the board, did not approve of this report or these recommendations. He voiced his objections in a minority report, which he submitted to the trustees Thursday night. In his report he says: "As I was not present at the special meeting of the library board on July 8, at which meeting the budget for tht ensuing year, prepared entirely by Miss Rea and the librarian, Miss Calnon, was presented to the members present, and as I understand, approved by them, and as there are some items in that budget that I do not approve of, and would have opposed had I been present, I therefore deem it my duty as a member of the library board to make a minority report and point MRS. KELLOGG CELEBRATES HER NINETIETH BIRTHDAY The nineteenth birthday of Mrs. Mary Orilla Kellogg, was fittingly celebrated Friday at her home in West Anaheim, where she has resided for fifty-two years. Managing her hundreds of acres and still looking after her business affairs, Her responsibilities, however, have been somewhat lessened recently. She has divided her large acreage equally among her five daughters, retaining her home and eight acres for herself. She is revered by her family, and although somewhat scattered, they all come home on occasions such as that of Friday. It is a very large family with five daughters, three sons, thirty-three grand children and twenty-five great-grandchildren. Picture groups of the four generations assembled were taken. Among the many presents bestowed upon the beloved woman, a shower of daity handkerchiefs served to please her most. Mrs. Kellogg is one of the early pioneers, having crossed the plains in 1853, with her brother, Leonard Lillie, who built the first mill at St. Helena, California, which still stands, a landmark of California. Mrs. Kellogg met the trials and hardships of early years with patience and fortitude and now in her nineteenth year she still retains a remarkable degree of vitality. She is still greatly interested in the development of the country where she has lived for over half a century. E. B. Drake is attentive and the defended by Jennings & Bury and S. A.

RAILROAD PERSONS INJURED IN COLLISION OF MOTOR CAR AND OIL TRUCK BEGIN ACTION Miss Margaret Billig Asks $25,000, Miss Irma Robinson $50,000 and T. D. Sayre $20,436—Gilmore Petroleum Company, Owner of the Truck, Also Made Defendant—Case is on Trial in Superior Court of Los Angeles. Ever since the accident on January 19, last, in which a Southern Pacific motor car collided with an oil truck on the Long Beach boulevard crossing of the S. P. tracks at Huntington Park, it has been known that damage suits would be filed by injured passengers unless satisfactory settlement could be made with the railway officials out of court. In this accident, it will be remembered that the railway motor car struck a truck with an oil tank trailer belonging to the Gilmore Petroleum company, that the car was damaged. COUNTY EARM ADVISOR TENDERS RESIGNATION R. E. Nebelung Has Signed Contract for Citrulture Work With Government of Union of South Africa From the Riverside Press of July 12, we clip the following reference to Raymond Nebelung. Ray is a former Anaheim boy, and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Max Nebelung, of this city: County Farm Advisor R. E. Nebelung tendered his resignation at the regular meeting of farm bureau directors this morning. He announced that he has accepted a position with the government of the Union of South Africa in the citrulture work at Protoria, Transvaal. Mr. Nebelung expressed no little regret at leaving Riverside county, where he said, he had made many valuable friends. Dr. H. S. Gordon, president of the farm bureau, was enthusiastic in his praise of Mr. Nebelung's work as farm advisor. "It is going to be a hard matter," he said, "for Mr. Cocheron and Prof. Smith to find a man who will so generally liked throughout the county. I have visited every farm center but one in this county with Mr. Nebelung and I have yet to hear the slightest criticism of his work." Upon the motion of C. R. Brown, of Arlington th., she also considering a copy. BOND PROPOSALS CARRY BY BIG MAJORITY ALL FOUR PROPOSITIONS ENDORSED BY THE PEOPLE AT TUESDAY'S ELECTION Opposition Instillificant, and Extremely Light Vote Is Cast—Old City Hall Will Soon Be Only a Memory and a Splendid New Structure Will Stand in Its Place—Samuel Kraemer Will Help Build a Party Wall on the East. The old city hall which, for a number of years, has been an eyesore and a bone of contention, was sentenced to destruction by the voters of Anaheim Tuesday. By an overwhelming vote they decreed that the old structure should be razed and a new one in harmony with the progressive spirit of the present day city should be erected on the ground which it now encombers. There was not much interest taken in the election, and the vote was a light one considering its importance.

The rejected choose of F. motor car collided with an oil truck on the Long Beach boulevard crossing of the S. P. tracks at Huntington Park, it has been known that damage suits would be filed by injured passengers unless satisfactory settlement could be made with the railway officials, out of court. In this accident, it will be remembered that the railway motor car struck a truck with an oil tank trailer belonging to the Gilmore Petroleum company, that the car was drenched with oil from the bursted tank which took fire instantly enveloping the car in flames. The one door of the car was jammed and refused to open, consequently the only means of egress left to the scorched and frantic passengers was through a very small window. Mrs. Willis Faust, of the Colonial apartments in this city, was burned to death, and fourteen others were injured, some of them seriously. Most of the passengers were from Anaheim, and among those most seriously injured were Miss Margaret Billig, of this city, and Miss Irma Robinson, of Buena Park, both students at Los Angeles, who were on their way home. These young ladies managed to save their lives by squeezing through the small window, but both were terribly burned. Three suits for heavy damages were filed in superior court in Los Angeles by Miss Billig, Miss Robinson and another passenger, and there is a probability that these suits will be followed by others. It is understood the Southern Pacific charges the Gilmore Petroleum company with responsibility for the accident, and the oil company is made a party to the suit. Certain features of the case are unique. Three separate suits have been consolidated at the request of the court and by stipulation of the attorneys in order to expedite the handling of the court calendar. Furthermore, as the plaintiffs have drawn their complaints against both the Southern Pacific and the owners of the truck and gasoline, asserting that each was equally negligent, the four sets of attorneys for the defendants will have a sharp contest to establish the responsibility for the accident. The plaintiffs and their claims for damages are as follows: Margaret M. Billig, $25,000; Irma E. Robinson, $50,000, and T. D. Sayre, $20,436.55. Both women were burned, Sayrey suffered a gashed wrist, and all assert that their injuries are of a permanent nature. E. B. Drake is attorney for the plaintiffs and the defendants are represented by Dr. H. S. Gordon, president of the farm bureau, was enthusiastic in his praise of Mr. Nebelung's work as farm advisor. "It is going to be a hard matter," he said, "for Mr. Cocheron and Prof. Smith to find a man who will so generally liked throughout the county. I have visited every farm center but one in this county with Mr. Nebelung and I have yet to hear the slightest criticism of his work." Upon the motion of C. R. Brown, of Arlington, the chair appointed a committee comprising Mrs. H. E. DeNyse, Mrs. H. A. Talbot, of Perris, and Dr. T. M. Cunningham to draft resolutions of appreciation of the work of the retiring farm advisor. The resolutions run as follows: "Whereas County Farm Advisor R. E. Nebelung has resigned from the agricultural extension service of this state, therefore. "Be it resolved: that the Riverside County Farm Bureau parts with the services of Mr. Nebelung as its farm advisor with unusual regret and is only partly reconciled to losing him by the realization that it advances his personal interest to enter a large field of work. "We hereby express our entire confidence in his ability as a field worker and his success in the conduct of office administration. We have found him an agreeable co-worker, willing and active in the many demands made upon him in his position and showing an unfailing personal interest in his work. "It is with genuine regret that his resignation has been accepted and we wish him the greatest success in his new field of endeavor. "And b_e it further resolved: that couples of these resolutions be sent to all county newspapers, the county board of supervisors and the agriculture extension department of the college of agriculture, Berkeley." When Mr. Nebelung leaves the office August 6 he will have been farm advisor in this county for a year and a half. Preceeding February, 1920, he served as assistant farm advisor under R. L. Wilson and before coming to Riverside he was assistant in the Los Angeles county office for several months in 1918. He plans to leave Riverside August 6 and he will sail from New York for South Africa the middle of September. Dr. Gordon appointed Mrs. H. E. DeNyse, Mrs. J. H. Atwater, J. L. Bishop, R. E. Nebelung and himself as members of the farm bureau commander of years, has been an eyesore and a bone of contention, was sentenced to destruction by the voters of Anaheim Tuesday. By an overwhelming vote they decreed that the old structure should be razed and a new one in harmony with the progressive spirit of the present day city should be erected on the ground which it now encumbers. There was not much interest taken in the election, and the vote was a light one, considering the importance of the proposition before the people. There was four proposals on the ballot, and each was considered essential to the welfare of the city, consequently there was no party or faction openly opposing them. The total issue of bonds authorized by the voters was $160,000, divided as follows: City hall, $75,000. Water works improvement, $50,000. Sewer extension, $30,000. Pump for fire department, $5000. Less than six hundred votes, or about 25 per cent of the registered vote was cast. There were only two voting places, the five precincts above Center street voting at the Pacific Implement company's building, and the five southern precincts at the old city hall. Following is the vote on the several propositions: North Side City hall—Yes, 248; No, 25. Water works—Yes, 257; No 17. Sewer extension—Yes, 256; No 17. Fire pump—Yes, 252; No 13. South Side City hall—Yes, 253; No, 36. Water works—Yes, 285; No 18. Sewer—Yes, 274; No 23. Fire pump—Yes, 276; No 19. The vote on city hall in both precincts was 501 for and 61 against the bonds, which is an emphatic declaration on the part of the people that they want the city to keep pace with its citizens in the matter of improvements and progress. This means that the fire department, the police department, the municipal band and the Bushard-Cerdes-Stewart real estate firm will speedily have to seek new quarters. The work of razing the old building will probably begin as soon as the funds are available, as the brick with which it was constructed will be used in the new structure. It is understood that Samuel Kraemer has already arranged with the city trustees for a party wall on the east, which will considerably reduce the cost of the building to the city. equally negligent, the four sets of attorneys for the defendants will have a sharp contest to establish the responsibility for the accident. The plaintiffs and their claims for damages are as follows: Margaret M. Billig, $25,000; Irma E. Robinson, $50,000; and T. D. Sayre, $20,436.55. Both women were burned, Sayre suffered a gashed wrist, and all assert that their injuries are of a permanent nature. E. B. Drake is attorney for the plaintiffs and the defendants are represented by Jennings & Belcher, S. M. Sallisbury and S. A. McNeil, Newlin Ashburn and W. B. Himrod. It is understood that one point of the charge of negligence on the part of the railroad company is that the coach had but one entrance in the center, and that if there had been exists at the ends of the car the plaintiffs might have been able to escape. Exhibits of the plaintiffs will include numerous photographs of the accident and of the crossing, where it occurred. STUNG BY STINGRAY Miss Allene Adams, while bathing with her parents and a number of friends at Seal Beach on Sunday afternoon, was stung by a stingray in her right heel. The water was at low tide, and Miss Adams had just suggested that the bathers change their location, as she feared stingrays at that particular point. Immediately after being stung she left the water and was given first aid on the beach. She was later taken to the office of a physician who treated the wound, after which the family returned home. She was out again on Monday attending to her duties as bookkeeper at the S. Q. R. store and suffered little inconvenience, although the sting was extremely painful. Several other bathers were stung by stingrays at the beach during the afternoon. BAND CONCERT Program for the concert to be given tonight at the city park by the Anaheim Municipal band: March—Alta Kameraden, Teike. Overture—Morning, Noon and Night, Suppe. Waltz—An der schonen blauen Donau, Strauss. Clarinet Duet—Two Little Bulanches, Kling; Tozier Bros. Fantasia—Hungarian, Tobane. German Patrol—Guard Mount, Ellenberg. Star Spangled Banner. The gay life is seldom a pay life. Preceding February, 1920, he served as assistant farm advisor under R. L. Wilson and before coming to Riverside he was assistant in the Los Angeles county office for several months in 1918. He plans to leave Riverside August 6 and he will sail from New York for South Africa the middle of September. Dr. Gordon appointed Mrs. H. E. DeNyse, Mrs J. H. Atwater, J. L. Bishop, R. E. Nebelung and himself as members of the farm bureau committee to plan for the Southern California fair this fall. W. W. Van Pelt, secretary of the fair association, gave a short talk boosting the fair. The farm bureau put in its application for Saturday as farm bureau day this year as it was stated that more of the farmers of the county could be present upon that day. Mr. Nebelung announced that there will be no farm bureau tent this year as in the past the farm bureau tent has been rather the work of the agricultural extension department than of the farm bureau as such. He suggested that the logical place for a farm bureau exhibit is the agricultural tent. POMONA BLUE LAW IC UNCONSTITUTIONAL Judge Tosse Monkey Wrench Into Reform Machinery at Foothill City. The Pomona "blue law" was declared unconstitutional in a decision handed down by Judge Burnell late Wednesday afternoon. In rendering his decision Judge Burnell stated that he believed the ordinance passed by the city of Pomona to be class legislation for the reason that churches and other organizations are permitted to operate on Sunday and that while they do not charge any admission fee, collections are taken and the result of the collection or an admission fee is one and the same. This ruling is the outcome of an injunction suit brought against the city of Pomona by the West Coast Theatres, Inc., which contested the ordinance on the ground that it was class legislation and therefore unconstitutional. The decision upholds both contentions. It is understood that the city attorney of Pomona will not recommend an appeal from the decision.

Their confidence of ultimate success was based on hearty approval of the plans given Wednesday afternoon by school trustees of the county at their convention in the armory at Santa Ana. Endorsement was practically unanimous, and none of the trustees voiced disapproval, unless a talk by a representative from La Habra could be considered against the project. He counseled investigations as to initial cost and annual maintenance before taking action. A committee of five was appointed to make an investigation of costs and report its findings to R. P. Mitchell, superintendent of county schools. When the report is filed copies will be sent to the different boards, along with a resolution to be prepared by Mitchell addressed to the board of supervisors requesting the organization of the school. The resolution may be adopted or rejected, as the individual boards choose. The committee is composed of F. L.

SHERIFF'S OFFICERS AGAIN RAID RANCH Anaheim is always setting the pace for other communities to follow. A new and unique scheme has just been conceived in the brains of some live wire of the Chamber of Commerce and is to be put in force immediately. Not content with taking pictures of the beautiful scenery hereabout on the level it is now prepared to take bird-eye photographs from an airplane, the same to be printed in a booklet for circulation throughout the country. This will be the first thing of the kind ever undertaken by any community, and will make a series of photographs unique and interesting. Aerial photography was developed to a state of perfection during the war, and it is now proposed to utilize it in advertising this city. In addition to using an airplane for photographic purposes this city is also to have an aviation field and aero station at which passengers will be taken aboard and landed. In co-operation with the Chamber of Commerce a company headed by Charles A. Warren has taken a lease on a tract of ground on North street at the Santa Fe crossing, and here the ships of the air will manuevre and take their flight. A regular passenger service will be maintained, passengers being carried to any point at a very reasonable fare. This may possibly be the beginning of an important station for passenger service. The field will be on ground belonging to the Santa Fe railroad and the right-of-way purchased some years ago by the Salt Lake. The line will be in operation within a week or two, and it is anticipated through the hot summer days there will be a rush of travel. You had better book your passage early if you want to go to Yosemite, Mt. Baldy, Tia Juana or Catalina. Anaheim is only one hour away from Tia Juana by airplane, and it is expected travel in that direction will be heavy. An airplane passenger might bring a pint back to the desert in his hip pocket, provided he can persuade the pilot to soar above the clouds in crossing the boundary line on the return trip. CLAIMS PROPERTY DEEDED TO AVOID PAYMENT Suit Began in Superior Court Against Cypress Man Asserting that Abe Kasviner Or- Superintendent Neilis, of the Whittler state school, gave an interesting talk on the aims and possibilities of such a school, during the course of which he explained the manner in which the plans of the Whittler school are being changed to avoid any sense of obloquy which the boys may carry in the future. SHERIFF'S OFFICERS AGAIN RAID RANCH Oodles of Home Brew Confiscated and Couple Arrested A total of $550 in fines has been paid to the county by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gillis, ranchers of the Westminster district, for alleged violation, which conforms with the Volstead act. Each paid a $n of $200 Thursday morning. June 6 Gillis paid $150. Sheriff C. E. Jackson and Deputy Sheriff Herman J. Zabel raided the Gillis place for the second time. Jackson says he secured direct evidence of two sales of liquor. The couple were also charged with manufacturing the brew. In the raid Jackson confiscated 150 bottles of home brew, a ten-gallon crock of home brew and a brand new sack full of bottle caps. He poured the liquor out of the crock. The bottles, all filled to capacity, were at the sheriff's office Thursday morning. Incidentally, the contents of one bottle drenched an enterprising newspaper reporter when he sought to uncap it. According to Jackson, the Gillis place is located three miles beyond Westminster on the Long Beach boulevard. In the first raid the officers confiscated a still, a sack of elderberries and several bottles of home brew. Jackson believes that the stock he got Wednesday night was secreted at the time he made the first raid. CLAIMS PROPERTY DEEDED TO AVOID PAYMENT Suit Began in Superior Court Against Cypress Man Asserting that Abe Kasviner, Orange county property owner, deeded his holdings to Frieda Kasviner, a near relative, to avoid collection of a claim and judgment thereon. P. S. McNutt, Los Angeles attorney, filed suit in the superior court to cancel the deeds and subject the property to the payment of the judgment. McNutt alleges that through a civil suit tried in the superior court of Los Angeles county June 20, 1921, he secured a judgment against Kasviner in the sum of $1,444.02. There has been paid on this judgment, according to McNutt, only $254.27. The plaintiff alleges that Kasviner transferred about fifty acres of land in the Cypress district to Frieda Kasviner with the intent to defraud him by putting the property beyond his reach and thus avoiding collection of the judgment. According to McNutt, the property owned by Kasviner in the Cypress district constitutes substantially all of his real property renders him insolvent. He holds that his claim cannot be collected without application of the property thereto. McNutt admits that $254.27 has been paid on the judgment, thus leaving an unpaid balance of $1,189.75. He asks that Kasviner be required to satisfy the judgment out of the properties which he is alleged to have transferred.
