EDISON POWER PLANT IS OPENED Big Long Beach Unit Adds 50,000 Horsepower Reaching its full capacity of 50,000 horsepower at 7 o'clock Monday morning, the first unit of the Southern California Edison company's new 100,000 horsepower Long Beach steam plant came fully upon the lines of the company, which stretch from Tulare county to the San Diego line. The completion of this generating unit is the culminating point of the tremendous effort made this year by the Southern California Edison company to provide ample power facilities to meet the rapidly increasing demands for service due to the growth of the large territory served. These demands were substantially augmented by the dry season of the past year, second turbine of the same size being installed and will be ready for operation in a few weeks. "These 50,000 horse power units said G. C. Ward, vice-president of the company, 'are the largest and most efficient on the Pacific coast.' With the completion of the second unit in original Long Beach steam plant and the new plant together will have combined capacity of 200,000 hectares, and the operation will be consolidated to form the largest steam-generating station west of the Missippi river." The completion of the Long Beach plant, together with the addition 50,000 horsepower to the Big C hydroelectric development now under construction will bring the total generating capacity of the Southern California Edison company up to 672,000 hectares. way, whereby Mr. Heisler will convey to the State for highway purposes Block C D and F and an extension thereof between Park Drive and McKnight's Subdivision to the west, and will laso execute map in form of cancelled plat with modifications and additions and agreements. Resolution was adopted changing the name of Delhi School District to Hawthorne School District. IMMENSE IRRIGATION WORK The annual report of Commissioner Elwood Mead of the Reclamation Bureau makes us realize the immensity of the irrigation work that the Federal government is conducting. During the agricultural year of 1923, to which the report relates, the Bureau irrigated 1,213,700 acres of land, including a cropped area of 1,179,870 acres. The crops grown had a gross value of $65,000,000, or $55 per acre cropped, as compared with a gross value of $50,000,000 and $43 per acre in 1922. The irrigation works operated by the Reclamation Bureau included 100 storage and diversion dams, more than 15,000 miles of canals, ditches, and drains, 660 miles of pipe line, 148 miles of flume, and thousands of structures incident to the carriage and distribution of water. Great progress was made during the year in extending the irrigating systems. Eight hundred miles of canals, ditches, and drains were constructed, 9,500 canal structures and 1,100 bridges were built, 350,000 linear feet of pipe and 33,000 linear feet of flume were laid, and 18,000,000 cubic yards of earth and rock were excavated, bringing the total excavation of the Bureau up to the end of the fiscal year to nearly 235,000,000 cubic feet. Considering the clear coming west, more moor this winter by visitor state than ever before of California have never conditioned, as many road have been opened since finance work has been carried on so that it is through motorist. An excuse is a poor mobile accident. An mend an injured limb back to life, or repairable. An excuse does not science of the driver which figures in an order how plausible that A safe driver never causes for his driving. Attitudes the application sense, obedience to the road, and the traffic situation in the fine art of man, according to the laws of Southern California. BRITISH POTTER A review of industry published in England formation that "season this year is the third years. There is tactive demand fromets, especially the U.K. Dominions." This respectfully commends congress who have a country that our reprehibitive. How will the new plant together will have combined capacity of 200,000 hectares power, and the operation will be consolidated to form the largest generating station west of the Mississippi river." The completion of the Long Beach plant, together with the addition of 50,000 horsepower to the Big Canyon hydroelectric development now under construction will bring the total generating capacity of the Southern California Edison company up to 672,000 horsepower of steam and water power. Originally planned for completion in 14 months, work on the Long Beach plant was rushed on an emergency schedule with the result that this unit was brought into service months after excavation was start. To accomplish this, many dramatic feats were performed, including a record-breaking transcontinental cement consisting of 22 freight cars which made the trip from Schneider N.Y., to Long Beach in eight days. Preliminary operations before actual work could be started involved laying of eight miles of your track handle materials, the driving of 8.9 piles to furnish the foundation for the heavy structure and the building several thousand feet of concrete tunnel, parts of which are over 40 ft below sea level. Every modern device for efficiency and economy in steam generation has been used in the new plant with a result that it will produce 250 kilowatt hours per barrel of oil in comparison with 225 kilowatt hours per barrel, the original Long Beach plant, which at the time of its construction received world-wide publicity for its great efficiency. SUPERVISORS PROCEEDINGS The contract for the improvement of road district improvement No. 40 was awarded to Steele Finley at a price of $22,000.00. Kenneth E. Morrison was elected Justice of the Peace, Santa Ana township. Contract for the construction of a reinforced concrete pavement on the Santa Ana Canyon road, was awarded to Griffith Company, at a price of $9,759.30. The petition of Springdale Land Co., et al., to vacate and abandon a certain public road, in the second Road District was granted. The petition of the Costa Mesa Lightning District was ordered referral to the carriage and distribution of water. Great progress was made during the year in extending the irrigating systems. Eight hundred miles of canals, ditches, and drains were constructed, 9,500 canal structures and 1,100 bridges were built, 350-500 linear feet of pipe and 33,000 linear feet of flume were laid, and 18,000,000 public yards of earth and rock were excavated, bringing the total excavation of the Bureau up to the end of the fiscal year to nearly 235,000,000 cubic yards. Investigations of a large number of possible future irrigation projects were initiated and continued. They are located in Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. Commissioner Mead points out that chief development in irrigation during the year was the appointment by President Coolidge of a Committee of special advisers on reclamation to study the financial and other difficulties attending farmers on government projects, and ascertain why reimbursements were not being regularly made to the treasury for the cost and maintenance of the irrigation works. The committee's report was submitted on April 10, last, approved by the President, and transmitted to congress. A bill based on the committee's recommendations has already passed the house and is now pending in the senate. That measure provides that annual payments of construction charges shall be based on gross crop returns instead of on a percentage of the project cost, fixed without relation to the productivity of the land. Where lack of fertility or water, or other adequate causes renders settlers unable to pay project costs, the Secretary of the Interior may investigate and make recommendations to congress for suitable relief. Operation and maintenance charges will be paid in advance, as in privately-owned irrigation works. The overhead costs at Washington will hereafter be charged to the reclamation fund and not to the water users as at present. The Reclamation Commissioner recommends further investigations to determine how the government can best aid in the irrigation of privately owned land where many of the best opportunities for future irrigation now lie, perhaps including the cooperation of states in defraying project costs. "It is hoped," reports Mr. Mead, "that such action may be taken by congress as will result in a thorough investigation of the unused agricultural resources of the west, Contract for the construction of a reinforced concrete pavement on the Santa Ana Canyon road, was awarded to Griffith Company, at a price of $9,759.30. The petition of Springdale Land Co., et al, to vacate and abandon a certain public road, in the second Road District was granted. The petition of the Costa Mesa Lighting District was ordered referred to the County Assessor to check as to property owners. It was ordered that the Board approve the appointment of Genarl Lansing H. Beach, as made by the Orange County Harbor Commission, terms of service to be $2500. It was ordered that the general contract for the county jail, be accepted as completed by Chris McNelll, contractor. It was ordered that the assessment assessed to John Johnston, covered by tax statement No. 7058, in the amount of $1135, be cancelled, for the reason that the assessment in improvements is erroneous. The application for pool room license, applied for by Eberisto Rosoles was ordered denied, on recommendation of the District Attorney. The chairman was authorized to sign and the Clerk to attest, the contract of Tri-Counties hospital. A resolution was adopted in the matter of road district improvement No. 26, setting December 16, 1924, at 11:00 o'clock a.m. as the date for final hearing in said matter. S. M. Finley was appointed as a committee of one to attend the hearing on the Boulder Dam project, to be held at Washington, D. C. and the County Auditor was authorized to draw warrants for the payment of the expenses of said S. H. Finley. A resolution was unimously adopted in the matter of the Stato Coast High The Reclamation Commissioner recommends further investigations to determine how the government can best aid in the irrigation of privately owned land where many of the best opportunities for future irrigation now lie, perhaps including the cooperation of states in defraying project costs. "It is hoped," reports Mr. Mead, "that such action may be taken by congress as will result in a thorough investigation of the unused agricultural resources of the west, the water laws which affect that utilization in the different states, and the working out of a program of reclamation and power development affecting the whole arid region and extending over a long period of years." AUTO NOTES With the first touch of winter in the eastern states and the increase in cold weather and snow storms, the trend of motor travel now points to Southern California, and from the figures recently received from the Touring Bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California, the total number of cars which will enter the state from eastern and middle-western states in the next 90 days should exceed last year's figures by nearly 50 per cent. At the present time there are well over 250 cars a day entering this state over the Bankhead Highway, Old Spanish Trail and Sunkist Trail, while the National Old Trails still continues to carry a large share in addition to the above mentioned routes. The Pacific Highway is also pouring into the state far more motorists who are planning to stay for the winter months than ever before. With the rapid completing of many miles of pavement in the Sacramento River Canyon, the total for-out-of-state cars entering California will undoubtedly reach 700 a day before Christmas. Considering the class of motorists coming west, more money will be spent this winter by visitors in touring this state than ever before. The highways of California have never been in better condition, as many miles of new road have been opened, much maintenance work has been done and under the present system, reconstruction work which is under way now is being carried on so that it in no way affects the through motorist. An excuse is a poor relief in an automobile accident. An excuse does not mend an injured limb, bring the dead back to life, or repair property damage. An excuse does not ease the conscience of the driver of an automobile which figures in an accident, no matter how plausible the excuse may be. The public wants safety—not excuses. A safe driver never has to make excuses for his driving. Safe driving constitutes the application of common sense, obedience to the rules of the road, and the traffic laws, and perfection in the fine art of being a gentleman, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California.
