VOLUME LI BOARD SUSTAINS ACTIONS OF MARSHAL PROTESTS OF DISMISSED DEPU-TIES UNHEEDED BY THE CITY TRUSTEES Appointment of Baldwin and Stump to the Positions Held by Chever and Choate, Confirmed—Talk of Paving Clementine, Oak and Cypress Streets—West Coast Company Wants Licenses of Traveling Shows Increased—Financial Reports. Summary dismissal of two members of the police force by City Marshal Steadman Wednesday, occasioned considerable speculation by the people as to cause for their discharge, as Mr. Steadman made no explanation until he reported the matter to the trustees Thursday night, and asked that their appointments be revoked. The two men dismissed were Rowley Choate, known to all the people fund, and total cash in the treasury, $236,832.42. The finance committee allowed bills to the amount of $14,816.44. CONGRESS OF MOTHERS DEFY THE RAIN STORM Hold Good Meeting at Fremont School Saturday Despite the rain on Saturday, the executive board meeting of the fourth district, Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers' associations, held at the Fremont school at 3 o'clock on that day, was very well attended, and accomplished everything that it had planned to. Mrs. Earl Morris, president, presided. Committees were appointed for the annual convention of the organization to be held in the First Congregational church, Santa Ana, on the last day of the month, at which time Mrs. Milton P. Higgins, national president from Washington, D. C., will be guest of honor. Mrs. John Clarkson, of Santa Ana, was appointed chairman of the luncheon committee, and reservations for the luncheon should be made with her by March 27. The place for the luncheon has not yet been decided upon. The charge per plate will not be more than 75 cents.

The two men dismissed were Rowley Choate, known to all the people as "Tex," and Charles O. Cheever. Choate has been a member of the police force during the past three or four years, but Cheever was appointed only a few months ago. Steadman reported to the board that his reason for dismissing Tex was that they didn't agree as to the duties of a deputy, consequently there was considerable friction between them. In the matter of Cheever's dismissal he explained that he had discovered Cheever coveted the marshalship himself, and was endeavoring to undermine his chief and secure his job. Both Cheever and Choate were at the council meeting and defended themselves. Cheever acknowledged that he had been a candidate for the mashalship because he understood that Steadman intended to resign. He denied that he did any underhanded work, and stated that he had intended discussing the matter with Chief Steadman before making a formal application for the position. Choate also entered a denial of the charges against him. He said he had always performed his duties in conformity with the laws, and the board had at various times commended him for his work. The trustees explained that the dismissal of deputies was within the province of the marshal, and they felt bound to accept his action in the matter. The marshal then presented the names of Harry Baldwin and B. L. Stump, to take the places of the discharged deputies, and the appointments were confirmed. Proposals for more street paving were laid before the board Thursday night, and City Manager Steward was requested to ascertain the sentiment of the property owners and report at the next meeting. It is proposed to pave Clementine from Broadway to Cypress, a distance of five blocks, and Oak and Cypress streets from Clementine to Lemon, being only one block. These streets are all getting into the business section, and no doubt there COLLISION NEAR HOSPITAL Mrs. Bertha Wilson, 260 So. Stuffer street, Orange, is at the Santa Ana community hospital suffering from a fractured rib on her right side and bruises about the body; her daughter-in-law, Mrs. C. S. Henderson, of Orange, is nursing scalp wounds as the result of an automobile crash at the corner of Chapman and Batavia streets, Orange, at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. According to J. T. Simmons, of Orange, Henderson was limp and unconscious when he was removed from his machine, following the crash. Henderson and his wife were taken to the county hospital, where it was found that they were suffering from slight cuts on their heads. The Henderson car was traveling south on Batavia and the Wilson car, driven by Les Wilson, was going west on Chapman. The machines came together while both were traveling at a fair rate of speed, it was said. The Henderson car jumped the curb in front of the residence on the southwest corner of the two streets, and the Wilson car, a Ford sedan, turned over. The occupants of the latter car were removed with considerable difficulty. Mrs. Les Wilson was carried into the residence, where her injuries were given attention.

Proposals for more street paving were laid before the board Thursday night, and City Manager Steward was requested to ascertain the sentiment of the property owners and report at the next meeting. It is proposed to pave Clementine from Broadway to Cypress, a distance of five blocks, and Oak and Cypress streets from Clementine to Lemon, being only one block. These streets are all getting into the business section, and no doubt there is a strong sentiment in favor of paving them. A communication from the West Coast theatres asking that the license on tent shows and circuses be increased from $150 to $300 per day was read. It was pointed out in the petition that these traveling shows take considerable money out of town and leave little in return, and it is unfare to permit them to compete with local firms having thousands of dollars invested, unless they pay more heavily for the privilege. City Attorney Ames gave it as his opinion that the license fee suggested by the West Coast company was excessive and could not be levied under the law. The city manager was instructed to advertise for bids for the Turck residence, now standing on the municipal park site. It is an eight-room two story house, and will be sold to the highest bidder. The bid of the Crescent Oil company on 3900 barrels of crude oil for road purposes, was accepted. The price was $1.92. Monthly reports of city officials showed collections made as follows: By Rate Collector Wallace, $10,075.25; by City Marshal Steadman, $290.50; by Recorder Howard, fines, $110; by the plumbing inspector, $157.70; by the city electrician, $104.34. The treasurer reported $32,472.14 in the general Orange county will receive $80,000 from the state for highway purposes as its proportion of motor fees this year, it became known following the receipt of dispatches from Sacramento. At the same time it was disclosed that this county ranks third in receipts in all of the southern California counties, being surpassed only by San Diego and Los Angeles counties, where large city populations swelled the totals. The Orange county receipts amounted to $160,020. They are from fees collected by the state motor vehicle department during the year which ended January 31. Los Angeles county is far in the lead for both the state and the southland with a total of $6,036,384.72. Orange county leads all other sections with $160,020. San Bernardino county is next with $126,018, followed by Riverside county with $88,769 and Ventura county with $54,549. Fifty per cent of the total receipts from the registration fees goes to the counties for highway work. This gives Orange county a total of $80,010 for such purposes. Anybody can fool the man who fools himself. AHEIM GAZET Anaheim, California, Thursday, March 15, 1922 FLOOD CONTROL PLAN NOT YET ADOPTED SYSTEM PROPOSED AT THE MASS MEETING FAVORED BY THE COMMITTEE Board Will Visit Various Points in Southern California and Inspect the Work Elsewhere—Only Half of the Subscribed Fund Paid In, and Work Will Be Delayed Unless it is All Paid Promptly—C. E. Jones Takes Brunworth’s Place on Board. The plan proposed for flood control at the mass meeting held at the Grana theatre some weeks ago when the project was launched, appears to meet with the approval of the committee of nine citizens on whose shoulders rests the responsibility of spending the $45,000 subscription money to the best advantage. The plans call for two rows of piling with barb wire entanglements, and while this is favored by the members of the committee who COUNTY Y. M. C. A. These are busy days in the Orange county Y. M. C. A. office. Since the adoption at the county convention on January 20 of the resolutions to organize the county according to districts for the more definite and intensive promotion of the work with boys and young men, the secretaries have been working to that end. Almost immediately Orange accepted the challenge, and 70 men in two days secured over $5000 a year annually for three years, that the work might be promoted in that district, using the old Athletic club building as an athletic center. C. E. Morrows, boys’ work secretary in San Jose, with five years experience as physical director with boys and young men in Los Angeles, has been secured to become the associate county secretary in the Orange district. Anaheim is next in line. There has been appointed a committee of five men with power to add to their number to lay the plans to make definite arrangements for the promotion of a similar effort in that community. In Santa Ana, resolutions from various civic and religious organizations have been received at the office, requesting that the county committee take the necessary steps toward the securing of a building for that community. While the county secretary has been homebound administrative planner, MANY SEEK SPACE IN VALENCIA ORANGE SHOW THREE HUNDRED APPLICATIONS RECEIVED BY GENERAL MANAGER FRASER All Packing Houses in the Southland Backing the Affair This Year—Show Will Be Twice as Big as the First One, With More Artistic Displays—Orange County Automobile Show May Be Held in Conjunction With It. That the second California Valencia Orange show will be twice as big as the first venture held a year ago, is indicated by the interest taken in it throughout southern California, and the demand for space in the big tops being made by individuals, firms and corporations. Although it is proposed to double the tenting capacity, it is doubtful if there will be enough space to accommodate all who wish to enter an exhibit. Manager Malcolm Fraser The plan proposed for flood control at the mass meeting held at the Granda theatre some weeks ago when the project was launched, appears to meet with the approval of the committee of nine citizens on whose shoulders rests the responsibility of spending the $45,000 subscription money to the best advantage. The plans call for two rows of piling with barb wire entanglements, and while this is favored by the members of the committee who believe an effective barrier could be built in that manner, there are other systems under consideration and no definite plans will be adopted until all are discussed and investigated. Before making a decision, however, the committee proposes to make a personal inspection of the work of this character already in operation on several rivers in southern California, and to consult the best authorities on the subject. There is a possibility that some other plan, preferable to this, may be found. If not the original plan, presented to the mass meeting by Charles Eygabroad, will be adopted, and the work of construction will begin as soon as possible. Secretary LeRoy Berger states that up to date only half the money subscribed has been paid in. This is a serious matter as no practical work can be undertaken before the money is in the bank. Subscribers should realize that failure to pay up will delay the work, as the committee cannot start work until the money to pay for it is in hand. Statements are being mailed to all subscribers and it is important that they should give this matter their prompt attention. When J. P. Mayhew declared his inability to serve on the board, John Brunworth, tenth man on the list of men voted for at the election held at the high school auditorium, stepped into the vacancy automatically. A revision of the minutes later showed that C. E. Jones was the tenth man. Mr. Brunworth, therefore, stepped down and Mr. Jones took his place as a member of the committee. A SANTA ANA WIND A freak windstorm sweeping across Santa Ana at 10 a.m. Saturday from the southwest to the northeast picken up the deck roof on the apartment house of William Pilcher, located in the 900 block on East Fourth street, slammed one end of it down on the office building of the E.K.Wood Lumber company, and smashed the remain-been appointed a committee of five men with power to add to their number to lay the plans to make definite arrangements for the promotion of a similar effort in that community. In Santa Ana, resolutions from various civic and religious organizations have been received at the office, requesting that the county committee take the necessary steps toward the securing of a building for that community. While the county secretary has been busy with these administration plans, his associates of the various districts have been handling the program. Mr. McKee in Santa Ana, with 17 clubs meeting weekly, turned defeat into victory by his development of the girls' gymnasium at high school to take the place of the big room in the First National bank building. Three basketball leagues have been playing in Santa Ana weekly and a new inter-church league begins Thursday night. Garden Grove, with two junior clubs and one Hi-Y club, has set the pace for the county by organizing a young men's club with an initial enrollment of 14, to meet every Thursday night, making four clubs in all. The work in Huntington Beach has received a set-back, owing to the school being closed on account of sickness. The Hi-Y club, with some 25 enrolled in that community, is organized for the first time this season. The Wintersburg club, under the leadership of Mr. Murdy, has been meeting regularly, each lad now wearing his own C.C.T.P. insignia. In Irange, with the taking over of the Athletic club building as a center where not only the members of the Y.M.C.A. clubs, some eight in number, but the young men of the community are able to gather and where the high school fellows, under the direction of the coach, are able to use the building during the afternoon. The attendance during January almost reached an average of 100. The Anaheim Hi-Y club, with some 25 fellows enrolled, sent representatives to speak to the community gathering in regard to the needs of the Anaheim boys, and discussed the responsibilities of the promotion of the big dinner with A.E.Roberts, as speaker, when 80 representatives from five of the high schools in the county met together. Fullerton district is reporting a club in every community in their district, the leaders' training group now organizing for monthly meetings. This is just a little bird's-eye view That the second California Valencia Orange show will be twice as big as the first venture held a year ago, is indicated by the interest taken in it throughout southern California, and the demand for space in the big tops being made by individuals, firms and corporations. Although it is proposed to double the tenting capacity, it is doubtful if there will be enough space to accommodate all who wish to enter an exhibit. General Manager Malcolm Fraser and his aids are busy already receiving, filing and answering applications for space. Already more than 300 applications have been received from corporations desiring to negotiate for space, and the date of the show is yet more than two months away. That the annual Orange county automobile show will be held in conjunction with the orange show is now indicated. Members of the Auto Trades association favor the proposal, and should the price asked for space by the directors of the Valencia show be considered reasonable the terms will be accepted by the auto men. A separate canvass will have to be erected for the accommodation of the auto show, as it is a big thing in itself. At a meeting of the association held at Santa Ana Friday night Harry D.Riley was appointed a committee of one to confer with the management of the orange show relative to terms. All the fruit packing establishments in southern California are backing the show this year, and as the work of arrangement began several weeks earlier, the display will be far ahead of that of a year ago. The displays will be more artistic, and there will be more of them. Arrangements are being made with San Bernardino for the use of the big tents used at the National Orange show in February. WAGE BATTLE TO FORCE SALE OF WOMAN'S LAND Mrs. Martha E.Finney, of Long Beach, who is said to have refused to sell her 54 acres of orange grove near Anaheim for $104,520, was defendant Friday in two superior court suits as the result of her alleged refusal. One suit, seeking enforcement of the alleged agreement to sell, together with damages of $30 per day dating from the alleged agreement, or an alternative judgment of $10,000 damages, was filed by John Knutzen, of this city, who declares that Mrs. Finney A freak windstorm sweeping across Santa Ana at 10 a.m. Saturday from the southwest to the northeast picked up the deck roof on the apartment house of William Pilcher, located in the 900 block on East Fourth street, slammed one end of it down on the office building of the E.K. Wood Lumber company, and smashed the remainder of it to the pavement, the roof carrying to the pavement with it wires Edison, telephone and Pacific Electric companies. The roof was 100 feet long and about 25 feet wide and the wind was of sufficient force to catch it up and throw it across the street without turning it over. It moved more than its full length of 100 feet. It was a deck above the main roof and the open space on the south side made it possible for the wind to raise. It is said by those who saw it that it floated through the air like a dirigible balloon. Office men with the lumber company heard the crash over their heads and made a hasty exit from the building. When the roof smashed through the Pacific Electric wires the force of the blow to the wires reflected at the corner of Fourth and Main streets, where the one wire was broken. Fourth street, between Garfield and Breeden, was closed to traffic immediately following. Motorcycle Officers Frank Stewart and H.D. Jaynes were detailed to guard the district until the street could be roped off at two intersections. Wires spitting electric sparks made the point dangerous to traffic, and in addition the roof lay across the full width of the street, making the street impassable. HALF OF VOTERS REGISTERED Registration of voters in the county reached what is estimated to be approximately half way mark Saturday, with a total of 16,019 recorded. County Clerk J.M. Backs expects the total registration for 1922 to be in the vicinity of 32,000. More than four months remain before the registration books are closed, July 27, for the primary election which takes place a month later. If the present rate of registration is maintained, therefore, it seems probable that the electorate of the county will mostly have qualified to exercise the ballot at the primary. Republican affiliations continue to predominated by a 3:1 ratio over the next most numerous, the Democratic. Complete registrations to date are as follows: - Republicans, 10.019; Democrats, 3.182; decline to state, 1887; prohibition, 519; Socialist, 163; Independent, 133; Non-partisan, 60; Progressive, 10; Progressive Socialist, 1. Mrs. Martha E. Finney, of Long Beach, who is said to have refused to sell her 54 acres of orange grove near Anaheim for $104,520, was defendant Friday in two superior court suits as the result of her alleged refusal. One suit, seeking enforcement of the alleged agreement to sell, together with damages of $30 per day dating from the alleged agreement, or an alternative judgment of $10,000 damages, was filed by John Knutzen, of this city, who declares that Mrs. Finney suddenly "backed out" after starting negotiations with him. The other suit demands payment of $5226 as commission for the Anderson-Elliott Realty company, of Anaheim, which firm claims to have brought buyer and seller together. The suits, both filed by Attorneys J.U. Hemmi and Tipton and Callor, set forth that the agreement for the sale of the property was entered into February 20, this year. Knutzen had paid $1000 down on the transaction, it was alleged. Securities he had offered for part of the purchase price had been approved by Mrs. Finney's agent, Roger C. Dunton, it is claimed, and an agreement had been reached on the terms for paying the balance. Then the prospective purchaser was notified that a better offer had been received and the transaction was off. Attempts to obtain an interview and explanation from Mrs. Finney were made for several days, but failed, it is stated. RANCHER SUES OIL COMPANIES Oil development in his neighborhood hasn't helped Niels Anderson, Placentia-Olinda rancher. This much may be deduced as Anderson's opinion regarding two damage suits for $40,000 that he has just filed in the superior court against two ZETTE Number 19 BACK SPACE ENCIA SHOW APPLICATIONS MERAL MAN-USER In the Southland this Year—Show big as the First Static Displays—mobile Show conjunction With California Valencia twice as big as a year ago, is best taken in it California, and in the big tops unusual, firms and it is proposed capacity, it is the enough space to wish to enter oil companies in the Olinda field, the Columbia Producing company and the Petroleum Development company. A curious proposition appears in Anderson's suits, which picture his ranch as being injured by oil drilling operations conducted two miles away. Mother Nature takes a hand in bringing about this alleged situation, Anderson shows, in setting forth that his soil is being saturated and his orchards ruined by hydro-carbon wastes that trickle down from the mountain oil wells. For years, the westerly six or seven acres of Anderson's twenty-acre ranch has been inundated beneficially during the rainy seasons by flood waters running off of the hills through a ravine that brings them to the edge of his orchards. Walnut trees, now 20 years of age, have flourished all the more for this irrigation, he represents. But when, this winter, the waters deposited large quantities of crude petroleum, oil and other wastes from the oil wells that, Anderson claims, had been allowed by the two companies to flow into the ravine and coat its sides, the rancher look alarm. His trees face deterioration unless the oil soaked soil, which now extends to a depth of 10 or 12 inches, is removed and replaced by fresh soil, he asserts. He demands damages of $20,000 from each company and asks the court to restrain them from permitting BUILD A HOME IS SLOGAN FOR NEXT WEEK MAYOR STARK ISSUES PROCLAIMATION TO THE RENTERS OF ANAHEIM Urges That All Make Special Efforts to Build Domiciles of Their Own, Thus Relieving the Congestion, and Increasing the Wealth and Prosperity of the Community—Movement is State Wide, and Will Result in Thousands of New Homes Being Built.

OPEN ROAD CALL DISCUSSED BY AUTOISTS Members who attended the meeting of the motor dealers' craft of the Orange County Automobile Trades' association Friday night at James' gold room, Santa Ana, are discussing with their fellow dealers plans for repeating this year "the call of the open road" campaign in which dealers of the state last year co-operated in making a big success. The campaign was discussed at considerable length, various features of the campaign receiving consideration. Newspaper advertising by the individual dealers will be supplemented by bill-board displays and window card advertising, with all dealers sharing the expense. Three committees were appointed to develop a fund for the bill-board and show window card advertising, as follows: O. H. Egge and Fred Schroder, Santa Ana; Frank Taggart and W. J. Wickersheim, Fullerton, Chas. Mann and William Goodrum, Anaheim. The campaign is to be state-wide and will be conducted early in May, according to present plans. Participation of the auto trades association in the California Valencia show at Anaheim this year was again discussed, and Harry Riley, of Anaheim, was detailed to secure from the directors of the show for presentation to the dealers a definite proposition for the organization of an auto show as a feature of the citrus exhibit. A committee appointed at the meeting of the craft a month ago to make an investigation and report on the advisability of holding an auto show in connection with the orange show recommended that if an auto show is held this year it be held at Fullerton, independently of the orange show. Dealers present at the meeting or How many men in Anaheim are going to heed the appeal of Gov. Stephens and make an effort during "Build a Home" week, to acquire a home of their own and cease paying rent to some other man? Next week is "Own Your Own Home and Build Now" week in California, and all renters are urged to figure with the real estate man, the carpenter and the lumber dealer, and see if they cannot figure themselves into domiciles of their own. It is a grand and glorious thing to know that the roof that covers your wife and children Is your own, that the rent you pay monthly to your landlord goes into your own pocket, and that you will not live in constant dread that on the first of the month you may find your rent increased, or be ordered to move out. Try building or buying your own home. Any man who gets a decent pay envelope every Saturday night can do it. Supplementing Gov. Stephens' appeal, Mayor William Stark has issued the following proclamation to the people of Anaheim: PROCLAMATION Build Your Own Home and Build Now Week, Starting Sunday, March 19, 1922. By William Stark, Mayor of the City of Anaheim. Whereas, the governor of the state of California has issued a proclamation, calling upon the citizens of this great state to observe the week of March 19, 1922, as Own Your Own Home and Build Now Week. I take this opportunity to urge upon our own community hearty co-operation to our fullest extent through our local reality board. Chamber of Commerce, financial, industrial, building and housing organizations, and all civic, religious, fraternal, social and other bodies to make this grand statewide campaign a complete success. Our community is in need of more homes. The shortage in housing is acute. Investment of savings in home-building will be a great stimulus to local industry and trade. Let us then make the coming week one of the greatest in our local history, that we may report to the people at large in the state of California that our fair city of Anaheim has done its bit in providing needed homes to meet the ever increasing demands by homeseekers for residence property in California. I deem it a great pleasure and honor JANUARY AUTO SALES Complete registration figures for January in Orange county of Motor Registration News show sales of 203 passenger cars and 16 trucks, or a total of 219 cars.

Investment of savings in homebuilding will be a great stimulus to local industry and trade. Let us then make the coming week one of the greatest in our local history, that we may report to the people at large in the state of California that our fair city of Anaheim has done its bit in providing needed homes to meet the ever increasing demands by homeseekers for residence property in California. I deem it a great pleasure and honor to commend the work of the Anaheim Realty Board for its splendid service to our community, and to also congratulate the California Real Estate association for its patriotic zeal and unselfish interest in advancing the cause of home owning throughout the fastest growing state in the union.

MERRITT, City Clerk of the City of Anaheim. The best ball teams occasionally have an off day and meet defeat at the hands of a bunch of scrubs. According to the Kiwanis that was what happened on the high school diamond on Friday evening, when the Rotarian sluggers won a 15 to 10 decision over their team. It was a desperate battle, brilliant plays being made on both sides, but Captain Riley, of the Rotarians carried a rabbit’s foot in his pocket, consequently all the luck broke for him. Ladies of the Ebelt club were on the ground gathering in the deniro as the gate receipts, and all the money that could be extracted from the fans belonged to them, and will be added to the club house fund.
