GROWTH OF ANAHEIM Total for 1910 was... 2,268 Total for 1920 was... 5,525 Today estimated at...12,000 VOLUME LVI COMPTROLLER IN CITY COUNCIL ADOPTS NEW SYSTEM OF CONTROL OF LIGHT AND WATER Office of Rate Collector Abolished and City Comptroller Appointed—City Manager Price Is the New Chief A RADICAL change in the management of the municipal light and water system was embodied in an ordinance adopted by the city trustees Thursday night. This change was made partially to prevent loss to the city by reason of light and water users who become delinquent and move away leaving unpaid bills, and partly because it is considered the new system will prove more satisfactory to the 2500 regular patrons of the service. The new ordinance, which is printed on page six of this paper, abolishes the office of rate collector, a position held for several years by W. A. Wallace, and provides for the appointment of a city comptroller, who will have full charge of all the business appertaining to the two systems. City Manager J. W. Price has been appointed comptroller, and under the ordinance he will be allowed a chief deputy and two assistant deputies. The chief deputy is to re- Hans Weisel Quits As City Attorney Has Purchased Big Ranch and Will Breed Cattle Announcement that Hans V.

A. Wallace, and provides for the appointment of a city comptroller, who will have full charge of all the business appertaining to the two systems. City Manager J. W. Price has been appointed comptroller, and under the ordinance he will be allowed a chief deputy and two assistant deputies. The chief deputy is to receive a salary of $175 per month, one assistant deputy $125, and one assistant $100. In all probability the force in the rate collector's office will remain just as it is at present. Of particular interest to water and light consumers of Anaheim is the section dealing with the new method of collection of payments. According to Mr. Price, in the future under the new system meter reading will be continuous throughout each month and bills will be mailed to every consumer within two days following the readings. These statements will contain an itemized account of the amount of light, water or power used and the amount due to the city which will be payable immediately, instead of after the first of the month as under the present system. City Manager J. W. Price, who is also city controller, explains the new system as follows: A new method of collecting light and water rates in accordance with a new city ordinance will be of interest to all citizens of Anaheim using these commodities and to acquaint the consumers with these new methods, the following article was prepared: Ordinance No. 261, which is now in effect governing this department, was adopted after careful consideration, March 27, 1913, but there have been six or seven amendment made to it from time to time to take care of changes in rates. At the time of the adoption of this ordinance and its system installed, it was very appropriate for the needs of the city. There were only $49 consumers of electricity with a total collection for the year of $25,-340.70, and 348 water consumers with a total yearly collection of $14,270.15. It was then possible for one person to take care of all the duties required in this department, such as the bookkeeping, calculating the bills, making out receipts, collecting and making reports. The fault to be found with this system was the number of delinquents and lost accounts that it permitted. This delinquent condition was not apparent at the time of the adoption of this ordinance and system, as the residents of the city were permanent and we did not have the influx of transients that we now do. Delinquency in the light, water and tax departments were almost unknown at that time, and so this fault of delinquency cannot be charged as a fault of the system, but to the growth of the city. In order to make a thorough study it is considered the new system will prove more satisfactory to the 2500 regular patrons of the service. Hans Weisel Quits As City Attorney Has Purchased Big Ranch and Will Breed Cattle Announcement that Hans V. Weisel had resigned his post as city attorney and was preparing to move away from Anaheim, was read with surprise by the people of Anaheim Friday. At the meeting of the trustees Thursday night, he turned in his resignation, and it was reluctantly accepted by the board. He will continue to serve until his successor is appointed. For many years Mr. Weisel has been one of the leading attorneys of the county, and twice he has served Anaheim as city attorney. He came to Anaheim nearly a third of a century ago, and his boyhood days were spent here. Since reaching man's estate he has taken a prominent part in civic and political affairs. Besides serving two terms as city attorney, he served one term as assemblyman from this county, but declined further political honors. He announces that he has purchased a 2200-acre ranch in Humboldt county and is going to devote his time in the future to the breeding of high grade cattle. He has made a fine record as an attorney in this county, and his numerous friends confidently expect to see him succeed as a rancher. He expects to move his family to his new home about the first of January. Want a Million for Water Conservation The Water Conservation Association of Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange counties has appropriated $500 to aid in the passage through congress, at the next session, of an appropriation bill setting aside $1,000,000 for reforestation and water conservation work in Southern California, it was learned, following an adjourned meeting of the directors of the association, held in Riverside. The officers of the association were directed to complete application of 250,000 acre-feet of water for spreading on the land adjacent and tributary to the Santa Ana river, and the $650 filing fee was ordered paid. This move, it was said, will place the association in position to complete its application and enable it to proceed with the conservation of water on a large scale. It is not intended, according to Francis Cuttle, president of the association, to interfere in any way with the vested rights of others who have perfected claims for water of the Santa Ana river or its tributaries. Pointing out that years there never had three successive drials said that the presse bring to an end a period. Thus far tha to the packing hanaheim district ha rain compared with .87 inches in 1923. HOW MOTORISTS CAN PROCURE THEIR LICENSES FOR NEW YEAR Motorists have started filling, with the state motor vehicle department, applications for 1920 licenses—and the department's troubles are starting early. According to word received here from Will H. Marsh, chief of the division, applicants are sending their pink certificate of ownership along with the white slip of registration. "Only the white certificate should be sent," the chief pointed out, in making an appeal to owners to remember this and save the department a great deal of unnecessary work and delay. "The department does not want the certificate of ownership because a recent amendment to the law does not require its annual renewal," Marsh explained, adding that "as this is, in effect, the owner's title to his car, it is a valuable document and should be kept in a safe place." Here are the rules laid down by Marsh for securing new licenses: 1—First see that you have the white certificate, and if you have lost it apply immediately for an application blank and secure a new one. Blanks can be obtained at any division office or branch auotomobile club office. 2—Be sure that your white certificate shows the correct address and that your name and number is legible. 3—Enclose your white certificate with your fee of $3 in an envelope and mail them to Sacramento. Do not send currency. Use certified checks, postal money orders or bank drafts. 4—If you own a truck or other commercial vehicle, send the same fee as last year. NAHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, November 19, 1925 R IN CHARGE OF THE CITY Noted Ranch House To Be Transformed Into Big Clubhouse THE Woman's Club of Laguna Beach is to open its new clubhouse Friday with a luncheon, followed by an afternoon program which will begin at 2 o'clock. The clubhouse, which is really the oldest house in Laguna Beach and one of the most picturesque, was at one time the ranch house of a great estate that stretched over the hills back of what is now Laguna Beach. The property is owned by Mrs. Joseph S. Thurston, an officer in the club, who was given the place for a nominal sum for the next three years with the privilege of buying later. The landscaping is under the chairmanship of Mrs. Thomas Cummings, who has lived in Laguna Beach a great part of her life and is therefore familiar with the plants and shrubs that will lend charm to the clubhouse. The exterior of the building is of rough beams, painted white, with the window casings of a deep blue. It will be left as much as possible like the original building. The interior will be kept simple and of the period. A grand plano of excellent make will grace a niche provided for it, and concertos by well-known artists will be a feature of the Woman's Club program for the year. Miss PAST YEAR MOST PROSPEROUS IN HISTORY MORE MONEY RECEIVED FOR CITRUS CROPS THAN BEFORE Growers of State Receive More Than $122,000,000 for Lemons and Oranges. According to General Manager Dezell's Report—Shipments Cut Short by Weather Conditions, but High Prices Offset the Shortage. According to the annual report just made public by E. G. Dezell, general manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, the crop year ending October 31 was the most prosperous in the history of the citrus industry. There was a pessimistic feeling among growers early in the season because the frost in certain sections had cut short the yield and the extraordinary winds in the foreground had thrashed the Romantic Couple Plan Ceremony Up Among the Clouds AS THE opening event of the air meet to be held Saturday at Martin's field, Santa Ana, Miss Irene Clark, an employee of the city of Long Beach, will become the bride of Angus J. McDonald, 2268 Locust avenue, Long Beach, an oil worker, the ceremony to be performed in the largest airplane in attendance at the meet. As a reward for their marriage in the air, the committee will present Mr. and Mrs. McDonald with a cash prize, in addition to supplying the wedding ring, the license and the marriage certificate. The ceremony will be performed by Rev. F. T. Porter, pastor of the First Christian church of Santa Ana, who recently officiated at an aerial wedding on the occasion of the dedication of the Brea landing field. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Martin, Jr., of Santa Ana will act as witnesses. Mrs. Martin is the sister of the bridegroom, and Martin is associated with Eddie Martin in the management of the air field. A flight from San Francisco to Santa Ana in four hours will be attempted by Dr. T. C. Young of Glendale, president of the Western Aero League, in order to reach here for the air meet. Dr. Young advised the Orange co., the California Association for melon cultivation. Gerald Sandilands Predicts Wet Year Packing House Manager Optimistic Over Outlook That a favorable winter is in prospect for citrus growers in Orange county was the prediction made by G. W. Sandilands, manager of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association. Sandilands based his prediction on weather signs, which thus far this year have pointed to a wet season, devoid of the greatly feared northwest winds, which have been blamed for the small fruit harvested in this vicinity during the last three years. Although not forecasting a bumper crop of Valencia oranges, Sandilands declared that the perspective size and quality of the fruit should bring maximum returns. "Estimates of the new orange crop are pure guess work at this time, when weather conditions are so uncertain," Sandilands asserted, "but if we are fortunate enough to have the rains we hope for and no bad winds, we should have a very satisfactory crop next summer." Pointing out that during the last 33 years there never have been more than three successive dry years, Sandilands said that the present season is due to bring to an end a three-year drought period. Thus far this winter, according to the packing house manager, the Anaheim district has had 1.45 inches of rain, compared with 1.51 inches in 1924; 8.77 inches in 1923, and 77 in 1922. General Manager Descott's report—Shipments Cut Short by Weather Conditions, but High Prices Offset the Shortage. According to the annual report just made public by E. G. Dezell, general manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, the crop year ending October 31 was the most prosperous in the history of the citrus industry. There was a pessimistic feeling among growers early in the season because the frost in certain sections had cut short the yield and the extraordinary winds in the frostless soil had threshed the unmatured fruit from the trees, but the high prices received for both oranges and lemons in the eastern markets more than offset the damage to the orchards by the elements. Citrus shipments from this state represented a delivered value of $122,245,523, according to the report. Of this amount, $28,664,260 was spent for freight and refrigeration. Owing to the freezes the latter part of last December, however, only 49,437 carloads of fruit were shipped, compared with 60,732 carloads the previous year. A more even and intelligent distribution of fruit, avoiding a surplus supply, accounted largely for the increase in financial returns, according to Dezell. This allowed the fruit to go into consumption rapidly, maintaining a stable market. "Although the volume of shipments was 16 per cent less than last year, the returns figured on f. o. b. cars, California basis, were 39 per cent greater," Dezell said. "Figured on the tree, cash reimbursements to growers were 75 per cent greater than last year. Satisfactory prices prevailed throughout the country, assuring producers of success." Nearly three times as many boxes of oranges and grapefruit were shipped as lemons, the report shows. Boxes of oranges and grapefruit totalled 11,967,715 as compared with 4,176,677 boxes of lemons. Regular shipments of oranges have been sent to England, continental Europe and the Orient during the last year to satisfy the demand in those foreign countries for California fruit. Orange juice extractors have added materially to the distribution of the fruit. Since the extractors were first put into use at drug stores and pleasure resorts four years ago, 27,000 of the machines have been installed. It requires 1,350,000 boxes of oranges a year to fill the needs of these machines, the report shows. The report indicates the gigantic forward movement the industry is undergoing, according to Dezell, who procheles another banner year ahead. McCloskey Moving To Larger Quarters Robert Wilson, student at the Anaheim Union high school, gives the following account of the observance of Education Week at that seat of learning: American Education Week is a week in which all the purposes, standards and principles of this nation are concentrated, and each day is set apart for observation of one project. The chief purpose of this week is to awaken adults and children to the great progress of education and the need of undivided co-operation with the schools in their great work. The week began with constitution day, November 16. The Constitution is the document which embodies the rights of the American people and, in fact, stands as a protector of the privileges of all mankind. Tuesday was patriotism day, a day on which we should remember the full meaning of the flag and should realize our privileges, as a democratic people, in governing ourselves. Wednesday was school and teacher day. How much we owe to our teachers? They are the gudling hand of every generation and their labors are too seldom appreciated. Thursday is set aside as conservation and thrift day. This day should mean a great deal to the students, as it is in their hands the natural resources of the nation will rest.

Dr. Young advised the committee. Dr. Young will attend a meeting of the league Friday, before the Santa Ana-meet, and will leave next morning at 8 o'clock for Santa Ana. Dr. Young plans to reach the landing field by 12 o'clock, insmuch as his plane is equipped with a 500-horsepower engine and can attain a speed of 200 miles an hour. Dr. Young will attend the meet as the official representative of the Western Aero League and will bring personal greetings of Mayor James Rolph, Jr., of San Francisco. Four passengers will make the trip with him, it was announced.

H. McCloskey, when it was revealed that he had consummated a term lease on the two-story business structure formerly occupied by the California Toy Shop at 223 West Center streets. The new quarters, which are located adjacent to the California theatre, will provide the clothing firm with approximately four times the floor area of their present quarters. Stocks of the nationally known linen of men's wear, which are handled by the firm, are to be greatly enlarged, Mr. McCloskey said this morning, and the scope of the tailoring department correspondingly widened. C. Guthaus, head of the tailoring department, is said to be one of the finest workmen in his line in Orange county. He has been active in the tailoring business in Anaheim and Fullerton for the past 20 years. He operated a business under his own name in Fullerton for many years. In the new quarters his department will occupy the entire second floor. Work of remodelling and refinishing the new storerooms is now under way and opening announcement of the new store will be made soon, Mr. McCloskey said.

Thursday is set aside as conservation and thrift day. This day should mean a great deal to the students, as it is in their hands the natural resources of the nation will rest. A habit of saving is necessary to everyone. Friday is a day for the schools, that wonderful organization of progress and knowledge. Future presidents, generals, inventors and financiers are today acquiring their knowledge in this great school system. Saturday brings community and health day. The community is the most important social and economic unit of the nation and health in the community is a vital subject. A community needs a library, a park, a hospital and good schools. The last day of education week is Sunday, which is most appropriately christened "God and Country day." It is a true solan that "a Godly nation cannot fail." Religion, morality and education are necessary for perfect government and for the successful existence of a great country. This has been only a brief sketch of the days and their respective topics, but the word education summarizes the whole. It is a necessity, and people are beginning to realize this fact as the business world demands an educated individual to carry on its activities. In conclusion, Education Week's purpose is to make people think, and when they think they comprehend, and when they comprehend they act, thus fulfilling the purpose of the whole plan. Fred Scott of Artesia was fined $100 by Judge Holden, Friday, on a charge of breaking glass on the pavement. ANAHEIM—YOUR CITY Founded by German Colonists, 1857 Assessed Value, 1925, $10,500,000 School System Valued at $951,000 1925 Number 6 THE CITY'S FINANCES TWO VALUABLE WELLS ACQUIRED BY ANAHEIM’S CITY GOVERNMENT Five Million Gallons Per Day Added to Municipal Water Supply—Shortage Danger Removed for Many Years NEGOTIATIONS which began some months ago for the purchase by the city of two acres of land containing two deep water wells from the Southern California Sugar Company were completed at Thursday night’s meeting of the city council, and people can now rest assured for many years to come that they are in no danger of suffering from a water famine. These wells will pump 5,000,000 gallons of water per day. The consumption of the city now is a little more than a million gallons per day and, in conjunction with the wells now in use, the municipal wells will supply a population many times as great as our present enumeration. County Bean Men Cutting a Melon Quarter of a Million Being Distributed Among Them Orange county growers identified with the California Lima Bean Growers' Association are participating in a "melon cut" approximating $250,000, When negotiations were first opened the price fixed by the sugar company for the land, which includes the wells and pumping plant, was $35,000, and this was considered by men competent to measure values as a low figure, considering the position of the wells in juxtaposition to the city's industrial County Bean Men Cutting a Melon Quarter of a Million Being Distributed Among Them Orange county growers identified with the California Lima Bean Growers' Association are participating in a "melon cut" approximating $250,000, following receipt by the four associations in the county of checks from the parent organization as payment on beans already delivered. As expressed by a grower, the distribution should make it possible for members to "cat turkey" on Thanksgiving, for a similar amount was distributed here only a few weeks ago. According to the best information obtainable, the California organization has sold about 50 per cent of this year's crop, the return averaging about 12 cents a pound. It was said that the market is not so promising now as in the early season, and that it is very probable that the remaining portion of the crop will not bring as good prices. It is predicted that when the full crop is sold the average return will be less than 12 cents. The Greenville Lima Bean Growers' Association received a check for $102,000, said to have been the largest single remittance ever received by that association. The other associations in the county are the San Jonquin, Wintersburg and Garden Grove. Little Girl Injured In Auto Accident Mrs. Frank Montenyohl and her little daughter, Susie, aged 8 years, were injured in an automobile accident on the highway south of Tustin Monday afternoon. While Mrs. Montenyohl received numerous cuts and bruises of a minor nature, the little girl was seriously injured. Among other injuries, she sustained a fracture of the skull, and her condition is reported to be critical. She was brought to the Anaheim sanitarium, where she is now under treatment. The accident occurred at an intersection. Mrs. Montenyohl's car, traveling east, collided with a car going north on the state highway. The other car passed on, and the driver's identity is not known. FINE TOMATOES John Pfenninger has our thanks for a box of the nicest tomatoes we have seen this year. They were grown between rows of young orange trees on his ranch at the corner of Spadra and Orangethorpe avenues. Part of the ranch is already in bearing orange trees, and an excellent crop was harvested this season. John will soon have the will pump 5,000,000 gallons of water per day. The consumption of the city now is a little more than a million gallons per day and, in conjunction with the wells now in use, the municipal wells will supply a population many times as great as our present enumeration. When negotiations were first opened the price fixed by the sugar company for the land, which includes the wells and pumping plant, was $35,000, and this was considered by men competent to measure values as a low figure, considering the position of the wells in juxtaposition to the city's industrial site. But the deal hung fire for several months and the price was finally shaded, the trustees paying $25,000 for the property. The purchase includes a strip of land 30 feet wide running parallel to Kemp street, which will permit the widening of that short thoroughfare to 60 feet. As Kemp street is a connecting road with the factory site, this is an important item. It runs from La Palma avenue to the Crystal chemical plant. Included in the purchase, the city secures a reservoir which may be used for a water supply or other purposes. It is 40 feet in diameter, 6.6 feet deep, with 12-inch walls. It is built of reinforced concrete and has a Cobb's patented weir for measuring water. In the main building are the two wells, which are of sufficient capacity to care for the water supply of the city for many years, and which will solve one of the serious factors in the normal growth of the community. The wells are practically duplicates; there being but one foot difference in the depth. The first 200 feet of casing in each well is of 24-inch, the remainder is 16-inch, with seven feet of cement at the joining of the two sizes. Tests have disclosed that the wells puncture three coarse gravel water bearing stratas, the first of which is at 310 feet and passes through 101 feet of the water bearing gravel. The second level is reached at 466 feet and passes through 27 feet of coarse gravel. The third is from the 569-foot mark to 610 feet, and taps 56 feet of rich water bearing strata, making in all 178 feet of water bearing gravel through which each well is tapped. PASTOR AT RIVERSIDE Rev. Dr. Haywood of the White Temple church delivered an address at Rubidoux on Armistice Day before an audience of several thousand people. Dr. Haywood was formerly pastor of the Methodist church at Riverside, and his presence was in the nature of a home-coming, many of his former parishioners being present to welcome him, as well as many members of the American Legion and other citizens. He was introduced by Dr. E. S. Clark, editor of The Press, who was chairman of the day and who spoke feelingly in presenting his former pastor. Dr. Haywood's address was eloquent and patriotic and was very well received FINE TOMATOES John Pfenninger has our thanks for a box of the nicest tomatoes we have seen this year. They were grown between rows of young orange trees on his ranch at the corner of Spadra and Orangethorpe avenues. Part of the ranch is already in bearing orange trees, and an excellent crop was harvested this season. John will soon have the entire 40-acre tract covered with bearing trees. There is quite a good deal of talk of increasing the width of Orangethorpe avenue to 100 feet, and joining it with Manchester boulevard at Buena Park as an outlet to the east. John is an expert farmer and, besides raising top-notch oranges, is gathering some of the best tomatoes we ever saw. ODD FELLOWS HOLD PARADE ON THE STREETS OF ANAHEIM Saturday evening, November 14, Anaheim lodge, I. O. O. F., was host to Seaside lodge of Santa Monica, 50 members of that lodge attending. About 300 members from the other lodges of Southern California were also present. At 6:30 o'clock dinner was served to 400. After dinner a parade formed at Olive and Center streets, led by six automobiles carrying grand officers and veteran members, followed by the Odd Fellow's band from Santa Monica. In line were: Canton Santa Ana in uniform, American Legion fife and drum corps of Santa Ana, members of Seaside lodge, members of Anaheim lodge and visitors from other lodges, and a number of lady members of the Rebekah degree. About 200 were in line. After the parade the degree team, containing 24 men from the Seaside lodge, conferred the first degree on a class of candidates in a very beautiful and impressive manner. This degree team has the reputation of being one of the best in the state. After the degree remarks were made by the deputy grand master, C. A. Palmer of Orange, and other visiting members. While the degree was being conferred the ladies and a number of the younger Odd Fellows enjoyed dancing in the hallroom and cards in the parlors. The dinner, to which all did justice, was served by the Rebekahs, under the supervision of Mrs. Eva Scutt. Brother J. L. Harris was master of ceremonies. At an early hour Sunday morning all departed for their homes.
