COUNTY WINS SUIT TO RECOVER RENT Justice Warner of Huntington Beach Must Disgorge The county was victorious in its suit to recover $180 paid in rental allowance to Justice C. W. Warner of Huntington Beach. Judgment for that amount being rendered by Justice Landell at San Juan Capistrano. The county brought suit against the justice, claiming that he had been collecting $10 per month from the county for office rent during a period of 18 months when he was receiving office quarters in the Huntington Beach city hall free of charge. Deputy District Attorney D. G. Wettlin represented the county at the trial, Attorney A. E. Koepsel of Orange appearing as counsel for Justice Warner. The defense contended that Justice Warner was entitled to the rent money because he procured the office space himself, and it made no difference to the county whether he had to pay for it or not. There was an implied contract, it was argued, that the county should allow office rent. The court, however, held with the plaintiff's contention that there could be no implied contract regarding the payment of public money, and that the Huntington Beach justice was not entitled to receive money for an expense not borne by the official. The rent allowance was not an emolument of the office, it was ruled. Attorney Koepsel asked for a stay of execution for 15 days, to determine whether to appeal the case.

He has reached a higher sphere where good looks don't count." Wetzel drove the first train into Anaheim from Los Angeles back in the seventies.

ANAHEIM UNION WATER CO., L. J. SHERIDAN, Secretary. Suppose you were 3 years younger today! How many women would refuse to turn back the calendar three years if they had the opportunity? Few, certainly, would object to being three years younger! And that is exactly the opportunity we offer women who do their own family washing, or have it done at home under their supervision. Figure it out yourself—in the course of 20 years, a day a week spent with the washing amounts to practically the same as though three years had been added to their age. Or, putting it another way, a woman of 45 has wasted enough time on the family washing in her twenty years of marriage to amount to three years. If the washing had been handed over to us, the time saved would have given her three years full of days that might have been spent with her children, in amusement or civic activities. It's worth while telephoning us to call for your bundle. We'll do all the washing and part or all of the ironing. The Sanitary Laundry A. W. CLEAVER, Proprietor 225 W.
