URGE CONSTRUCTION OF COAST HIGHWAY D. Eyman Huff Thinks We Should Take Speedy Action Declaring his belief that unless the coast highway is built through Orange county in the near future, funds voted for the improvement in the last state highway improvement bond election will be exhausted before this stretch of highway is reached, D. Eyman Huff, chairman of the good roads committee of the associated chambers of commerce is urging chambers of commerce in Orange county to address communications to the state highway commission requesting it to begin construction of this important road at the earliest possible date. It is understood that the commission proposes to begin the construction of the coast highway between the mouth of Santa Monica canyon and the south boundary of the Malibu ranch. Huff believes that work should be started and completed at once for closing this gap between Seal Beach and Serra. "The Ventura county people have three paved roads leading to Los Angeles and while the road through the Malibu ranch will be a most beautiful and scenic one, there is practically no population resident along the line where the road is to be built," says Huff. "It is certainly very important that construction of the coast highway in southern California should begin in a section where there are no adequate roads and where a dense population is to be served either directly or indirectly. It would, therefore, appear to be the duty of the highway commission to cause construction to begin at some point between Long Beach and Serra. The need for such a road is very apparent and, when comparing it with the construction that is proposed throughout Malibu ranch, where it will be contracted for will probably be of six-inch reinforced concrete, the road to be twenty feet wide. "When our crew of surveyors and engineers gets the adjustments made in the Long Beach-Huntington Beach section that have been necessary by reason of the changes advised by Talbert and also by J. A. Armitage, of Sunset Beach, and also the adjustments that may be necessary in the Stanton situation, it will go to work immediately on the Huntington Beach-Laguna Beach section. A good deal of that work has already been done. Locations in general have been decided upon. "There has been some delay caused by the injunction action brought by Long Beach interests that object to the route to be followed by the state highway near Long Beach," continued Darlington. "However, that action will not be allowed to delay us in getting action on the Long-Beach Huntington Beach contract. We will simply eliminate that portion of the section concerned in the injunction suit, and call for bids on the remainder." ARRESTS UNDER ROAD LAW First arrest and conviction under the new county ordinance which restricts load weights of trucks and which became operative October 6, resulted Wednesday in a fine of $100 being administered to William Ceremony, driver for the Hodges Transfer company, of Los Angeles. Ceremony, represented by his employer, Hodges, appeared before Justice Cox and paid the fine. Three other truckmen have been cited to appear before Justice Cox on the same charge. They are F. R. Bruner, 324 North Hick street, Los Angeles; B. Bratler and F. Conklin, both drivers for the California Transfer company, of Los Angeles. It was declared noteworthy that all those arrested are non-residents of the county indictment. In a statement to association says: "We alloted and sold all prices 85 per cent of our season's output. You may surprise when every broker not only confirmed his fax but requested tremendous fact with an estimated 000 bags the legitimate trade as evidenced by orders suiting the opening, were for 782, curally we couldn't confirm of the business offered. The requirements were well on heavy as in any previous case." "We immediately realize all of our brokers having their customers' orders they some buyers who simply additional goods in order minimum car to certain kets, others to take care price orders they had abstained themselves to access were in excess of them. Therefore in order to seize of customers who absolutely have additional quantities forced to advance our price and allotment to a figure we desired. Otherwise we would again be so excess could not commence to even at the 2 1/2 cent additions the orders submitted were as great as we could care frequently we could give our 25 per cent of what they the second allotment. Our lotment absorbed all good estimate'of our crop. If our runs estimates we will have additional quantity to offer the crop does not overrun we are through for the series." ASKS $3000 FOR A M. L. Simms, of Westminster brought suit against A. J. $3000 damages, claimed for a dog which Faleer shot construction of the coast highway in southern California should begin in a section where there are no adequate roads and where a dense population is to be served either directly or indirectly. It would, therefore, appear to be the duty of the highway commission to cause construction to begin at some point between Long Beach and Serra. The need for such a road is very apparent and, when comparing it with the construction that is proposed through the Malibu ranch, where it will serve practically no resident population, and where the road cannot be used for some fifteen months, although only seven miles in length, of what particular advantage is the road to southern California as a whole and Orange county in particular? "Most strenuous objection to the state's program as it now appears is being made in Los Angeles and Orange counties. Beginning of work between Seal Beach and Serra would provide a road that is badly needed by a large number of people and would not interrupt traffic to the extent that work on the Malibu district would. It would also furnish much needed relief of the traffic congestion along the present route to San Diego, where both local and through travel are forced to use the one route. "The fact that the state highway commission is starting on the construction of the Carmel and San Simeon road for which bids were received is ten miles long, between the north boundary of San Luis Obispo county and a point six miles north of San Simeon. This road passes through a district where very few people live. "Residents of Los Angeles and Orange county communities directly affected severely condemn the policy of neglecting construction of an important stretch of highway in favor of a road that will serve so few. It is recalled in this connection that the state promised to build the trunk lines, then the essential highways. This promise becomes more important, provided it is lived up to, as it becomes more obvious that the money available will be insufficient to build all the roads projected." In answer to this Chairman Darling- fected severely condemn the policy of neglecting construction of an important stretch of highway in favor of a road that will serve so few. It is recalled in this connection that the state promised to build the trunk lines, then the essential highways. This promise becomes more important, provided it is lived up to, as it becomes more obvious that the money available will be insufficient to build all the roads projected." In answer to this Chairman Darlington, of the highway commission, has written a letter in which he states that road construction will begin in this county within a short time. "If we can straighten out some matters relating to rights of way that have arisen in Orange county," said Darlington, "we will begin advertising for bids for the Long Beach-Huntington Beach section at once. We have been working toward that end for some time. The preliminary work was done weeks ago, and we would have had the bids called for before now had not delays arisen in Orange county. One of these delays came by reason of the advice and decision of Supervisor T. B. Talbert to make a change in a portion of the right of way between Sunset Beach and Huntington Beach. Another cause of delay has been the fact that we have been unable to get a right of way from P. A. Stanton over his property between Seal Beach and Sunset Beach. We are hoping to reach an agreement with him within a few days." However, in order to get that right of way a condemnation suit may be necessary. "The state highway commission is ready and has been ready to go ahead with this construction just as soon as it is possible to do it." "This is to be a fine piece of road." The crop and sugar contents have been satisfactory to the refiners, according to the statement of an official of one of the companies. The sugar market does not seem to be very active, very little change having been made in prices to refiners recently. Quotations in San Francisco are $5.50 per hundred, with eastern quotations 40 cents less, the prices being subject to two per cent discount for cash. The factory at Dyer has been handling approximately 1000 tons of beets daily for the past month. Most of the sugar now being made is stored by the company, although rail shipments of the sweets leave Santa Ana daily. So far as known to officials of beet sugar companies, California refiners have not made application to the war finance corporation for financial assistance. It is said that the refiners are having difficulty in financing their operations and paying growers. Refiners of Utah and Colorado have made application for financial assistance, and it is believed $10,000,000 will soon be available to them as the result of plans developed at a conference in Washington between representatives of the refiners and directors of the war finance corporation. Advance of money by the corporation will make it possible for the refiners to market their product in a satisfactory manner, it is said. WALNUTS UP Prices were no sooner made by the walnut growers than the trade place orders for vastly more than the whole crop. The association accepted orders for 85 per cent of the crop, then for the remainder made a 2 1-2 cent ad- longest campaign in the factory's history.

TWO BILLION IN CASH It is estimated that sufficies to more than $2,000,000 filed in the United States claims as a result of the Probably a large proportion will be adjudged adverse claimants, indicating that against the government wielding But the majority of likely to be admitted and recommended. They will be defence of the incapacity of administration to conduct operations. In a statement to the trade association says: "We alloted and sold at our opening prices 85 per cent of our estimated season's output. You may imagine our surprise when every broker on our list not only confirmed his full allotment but requested tremendous increases. In fact with an estimated crop of 310,000 bags the legitimate trade demands, as evidenced by orders submitted at the opening, were for 782,000 bags. Naturally we couldn't confirm nearly half of the business offered. The trade's requirements were well over twice as heavy as in any previous season. "We immediately realized that with all of our brokers having to reduce their customers' orders there would be some buyers who simply had to have additional goods in order to fill out a minimum car to certain one car markets, others to take care of opening price orders they had absolutely committed themselves to accept and which were in excess of their allotment. Therefore in order to serve the class of customers who absolutely had to have additional quantities we were forced to advance our price on our second allotment to a figure higher than we desired. Otherwise the demand would again be so excessive that we could not commence to meet it. But even at the 2 1/2 cent advanced price the orders submitted were four times as great as we could care for. Consequently we could give our trade only 25 per cent of what needed on the second allotment. Our second allotment absorbed all goods up to a safe estimate of our crop. If our crop overruns estimates we will have a slight additional quantity to offer later. If the crop does not overrun estimates we are through for the season." ASKS $3000 FOR A DOG M. L. Simms, of Westminster, has brought suit against A. J. Fogler for $3000 damages, claimed for the loss of a dog which Fogler shot. ASKS $3000 FOR A DOG M. L. Simms, of Westminster, has brought suit against A. J. Fogler for $3000 damages, claimed for the loss of a dog which Folger shot. The civil action follows dismissal of a criminal complaint by Justice Cox, who held that the dog had invaded Folger's property. At the hearing, at which Simms charged Folger with a misdemeanor for cruelty in killing an animal, Folger claimed that the airedale, on the evening of its death had been "bothering" his chickens. He declared that he went back to his house and returned with a gun, declaring that he feared the airedale. Fogler added that he then threw some gravel at the dog in an effort to scare it off; instead, the dog came for him and he shot it, he said. Simms insisted that he had the airedale tied up during the day and released him in the evening to allow it to exercise. It is a half mile from the Simms place to the Folger residence. In his complaint Simms claims the airedale came from prize-winning stock and was valued highly as a watch-dag. He claims the animal was not vicious and was not permitted to run about promiscuously. September 17 it was on the premises of Folger, who is alleged to have shot and killed the dog. Simms seeks $1000 as the value of the airedale and $2000 exemplary damages. Attorney W. F. Menton, of Santa Ana, represents him in the suit. MAY GET TROUT FRY FOR LOCAL STREAMS The Santiago, Trobuco and San Juan streams in this county may get a few tons of trout fry this fall. Coounty Game Warden W. E. Adkinson said today that the water in the three streams has been so low that up to the present date has not felt like pressing a request that he made to the fish and game commission for the fry. Two carloads of fish fry that have arrived in Los Angeles from a state catchery are being distributed today in the Whitewater creek in the desert country and in Curamaca lake, San Antonio. NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT Anaheim Union Water Company, location of principal place of business, 303 E. Center Street, Anaheim, California. Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the Board of Directors, held on the 1st day of October, 1921, assessment No. 58 of $5 per share was levied on the capital stock of the corporation payable at once to the Secretary of the Company, at Anaheim, Orange County, California. Any stock upon which this assessment shall remain unpaid on the 15th day of November, 1921 will be delinquent naturally causing an increase in the number of unemployed, which in turn decreases the purchasing power of the public. The Danish paper industry is reduced one-third in production; shoe industry over 50 per cent; and only 30 to 50 per cent of the textile laborers have been employed during the present year, while 75 per cent of the glassworkers are out of employment. German competition is chiefly responsible for these conditions. During the eight months ended August, last, we exported $263,000,000 worth of American goods to Germany, and $166,000,000 worth for the similar period of 1920. Our imports for the two periods averaged about $56,000,000 from that country. The bulk of our exports are raw materials which Germany is making up and selling in European and South American markets at ruinously low prices. It is a situation which we must soon meet and which calls for tariff protection. TEETH IN REFUNDING LAW The government will be bound hard and fast to collect every cent of the $11,000,000,000 war debt if congress passes the refunding bill now before the house. The bill not only holds the foreign debtors to airtight accountability for every dollar they borrowed from the United States, but orders the money collected on a prompt business-like basis. Enactment of the measure as it stands will finally put at rest the fears over the nation that the government is planning to cancel a part of the huge debt. Hard work may or may not make much money, but it always makes much character. Everybody has a knock for the man with the "pull."

All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance are hereby repealed. SECTION 3. The City Clerk of the City of Anaheim shall certify to the passage of this ordinance and cause the same to be published once in the "Anaheim Gazette," a newspaper of general circulation, printed, published and circulated in said city, and thirty (30) days from and after its final passage it shall take effect and be in full force. The foregoing ordinance No. 411 was passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim held on the 27th day of October, 1921, and the same is signed approved and attested by me this 27th day of October, 1921. Two carloads of fish fry that have arrived in Los Angeles from a stateatchery are being distributed today on the Whitewater creek in the desert country and in Cuyamaca lake, San Diego county. "It has been three years since trout were distributed in the local streams," said Adkinson. "The reason for passing us by each year was that we did not think there was sufficient water in the streams to keep the fish alive. Early rains this year, however, may be such that we can safely re-stock the streams." "There are still quite a lot of trout in the three streams. Last week I saw some in the deeper pools. Many were lost this summer and fall by the drying up of pools." "I'll watch the streams closely and just as soon as the water is such that it seems worth while, I'll ask the commission for an assignment of fry." TWO BILLION IN CLAIMS It is estimated that suits amounting to more than $2,000,000 will be filed in the United States court of claims as a result of the world war. Probably a large proportion of them will be adjudged adversely to the claimants, indicating that their bills against the government were not valid. But the majority of the claims are likely to be admitted and payment recommended. They will bear fresh evidence of the incapacity of the Wilson administration to conduct business operations. NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS Notice is hereby given that the city taxes on all personal property secured by real property, and on all real property in the City of Anaheim, will be due and payable on the third Monday in October, 1921, and will be delinquent on the first Monday in December, next thereafter, at 6 o'clock P.M. Unless said taxes are paid prior to the first Monday in December, 1921, at 6 o'clock P.M., 10 per cent will be added to the amount thereof.
