Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OFFICIAL CITY PAPER SUPERVISORS REJECT JAMES IRVINE'S OFFER Refuse Deed to 1500 Feet of Frontage at Newport Because of restrictions in it and upon the advice of District Attorney A. P. Nelson a deed for 1500 feet of frontage on Newport harbor offered to the county by the Irvine company was rejected by the board of supervisors. The deed was referred back to the county harbor commission, which has carried on all negotiations with the Irvine company in relation to the deeding of harbor frontage, with the request for a deed free from objectionable restrictions. When the county's harbor project at Newport bay was undertaken, James Irvine was asked by the harbor commission for an agreement for a deed to some of his frontage on the bay. The deed was to be a gift to the county, and should be delivered after the county had done certain work on the harbor. Two weeks ago the deed was given to the board of supervisors by the harbor commission. The supervisors turned the deed over to District Attorney PAGE FOUR would mean long and continued litigation even if the county should eventually win, and I am not satisfied that the court would hold such a covenant as inoperative. "3. Under the deed, the county has no right of disposition of any property by lease, except as to 1000 feet of frontage, and this right is limited to the right to lease to John P. Craig for the period of fifty years, with no provision as to the rights of the county to lease subsequent to the expiration of the fifty-year term. In this, at least, the deed is ambiguous. "The only use to which the remainder of the land could be put would be a public wharf, and the right to operate the wharf, dock, warehouse or other improvements could not be leased to anyone but the same would have to be operated by the county. "I cannot see under the deed where the county is deriving sufficient benefit or benefits to warrant the acceptance of the deed." BEGIN DRIVE ON SPEED MANIACS The Outo Clubs Ask Jail Terms Instead of Fines Movie stars and prominent actors in southern California are backing up the general drive for highway safety, according to a statement just issued by the Automobile Club of Southern California. Taking the recent defi of Mary Garden and other notables in the east that "they would enjoy speeding so long as they could pay fines for the pleasure" as a basis for action, the auto club is going to do all in its power to get state-wide co-operation on the part of police court judges to substitute jail sentences for cash fines. Motion picture star residents in southern California, however, upon whom the stigma of reckless driving sible for the dozen or more selves a night of from $15 to $15 Newport bay was undertaken, James Irvine was asked by the harbor commission for an agreement for a deed to some of his frontage on the bay. The deed was to be a gift to the county, and should be delivered after the county had done certain work on the harbor. Two weeks ago the deed was given to the board of supervisors by the harbor commission. The supervisors turned the deed over to District Attorney Nelson with a request that he give a legal interpretation of the restrictions found in the deed. Today Nelson filed with the board of supervisors a written opinion, in which he pointed out that the county might lose its title to the frontage should any part of the Irvine ranch ever be annexed to Newport Beach. Inability of the county to lease under the deed any of the property excepting the right to lease 1000 feet to John F. Craig, Long Beach, shipbuilder, for a term of fifty years, was also pointed out. Nelson's opinion in full follows: "In accordance with your request for an opinion on the deed of the Irvine company to the county of Orange of land adjacent to Newport harbor, I wish to submit the following: "I have examined the deed carefully and I advise against the acceptance of the deed by the county, for the following reasons: "1. The county under the deed obtains only the surface rights to the property deeded, and the deed in effect reserves to the grantor all oil and mineral rights in case the county should at any time drill for oil (if oil is found to exist on the premises, the land would revert to the grantor). "2. Covenant 2 of the deed provides that if at any time after the date of the deed the limits of the city of Newport should be extended so as to include any portion of the land known as the Irvine ranch, so long as the same is owned by James Irvine, or his heirs, within the period of ten years, without the written consent of the Irvine company, then, and in that event, the land deeded under said deed would revert to the grantors. This covenant calls upon the county to agree to a condition over which it (the county) has absolutely no control for the reason that the law governing annexation of territory to cities provides that the inhabitants of the territory desiring annexation to a city shall petition the city council for annexation and upon the filing of the petition the California. Taking the recent defi of Mary Garden and other notables in the east that "they would enjoy speeding so long as they could pay fines for the pleasure" as a basis for action, the auto club is going to do all in its power to get state-wide co-operation on the part of police court judges to substitute jail sentences for cash fines. Motion picture star residents in southern California, however, upon whom the stigma of reckless driving has rested for some months, have issued individual statements through auto club officers that they personally are backing up all safety movements in California. "If a motion picture player speeds about the streets and on the highways, then there are many thoughtless drivers who think they can emulate his example and also speed," said Wallace Reid. "They say, I saw Reid go 40 miles an hour this morning, so why can't I." But I am not going to go at a greater rate of speed than the law allows, and I am sure there are scores of other players who feel as I do about it." "Just forty-eight hours in the 'bulpen' of the jail is all we are asking for at first," stated club officers yesterday, "as sentences for motorists who drive recklessly." Automobiles in 1920 were responsible for half as many deaths as all the factories, railroads and mines put together, it is pointed out in the new safety drive against traffic accidents. Out of total of 865 deaths from accidents in Los Angeles during two years ending June 30, it is shown that 328 were caused by automobiles. The next greatest number, 105, is attributed to falls and the next, 73, to the electric railways. A system of fines has been tried out for fifteen years with no appreciable result on the manlacs who are addicted to speeding, points out E. B. Lefertz, in charge of the safety bureau, and so only additional action to be taken is in giving the jail system an equally thorough try-out. That is what is being sought at the present time.

His wares were confiscated and he was lodged in jail over night. Appearing before City Recorder French Friday afternoon, on a charge of illegally transporting liquor within the corporate limits of Fullerton, he was sentenced to pay a fine of $300 and spend 90 days in the county jail, the latter feature of the sentence being suspended provided he keeps within the rules during that period. Sample settled with the court by giving up what money he had along and drawing a check for the balance. It was said around the city hall that his troubles were not ended by the adjustment of the case in the Fullerton court, as it was understood that the county authorities would immediately cause his arrest for transporting liquor in county territory. The money payment was the highest that could be levied in the local court, the only way in which the punishment could have been made more drastic being the enforcement of the jail sentence. It is said by the local officers that it was Sample's goods that were respon- ANAHEIM GAZETTE TOMATO CROP IS BELOW NORMAL Packing House Reports About One-Third Shortage At the packing house of the American Fruit Growers it is said that the tomato crop is not coming up to their forecast in the matter of quantity production. As nearly as they can judge from the tonnage coming in, the acreage under their direction is turning in but about two-thirds of a normal crop, although the quality is very good. They are working today on their seventh carload for the season. In the walnut department they have put out seven cars and were going along at the rate of a car and a half a day when the rain interrupted them. If the sun keeps shining they will be back to that daily output within a day or two. About forty people are employed in the two departments. YOUTH CHARGED WITH CHECK KITING Marking his fourth visit to the courts on charges of writing worthless checks, Elwood Corbett, La Habra youth, held in the county jail in default of $1000 bail, to stand trial in the superior court. Corbett, who is 20 years old, appeared before Justice J. B. 'Cox with his brother, Dean, 16, charged with the same offense. Dean was turned over to the juvenile court. He was accused of passing a bogus check for $10 on R. R. Davis, of the Fullerton Ice company, September 3.
