GROWTH OF ANAHEIM Total for 1910 was... 2,268 Total for 1920 was... 5,525 Today estimated at...12,000 VOLUME LVIII NEIGHBORS DISAGREEMENT PUBLIC DANCES REGULATED BY NEW LAW ORDINANCE ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL AT LAST THURSDAY'S MEETING Drastic Changes Made in Ordinance Governing Public Dance Halls; Five Points People File Two Petitions Relative to Zoning Ordinance; One Wants Business Excluded, and the Other Wants It Encouraged CITY ordinance No. 510, regulating the conduct of public dances, and considerably re- Five Per Cent Of Motorists Held to Blame TRAFFIC accidents have increased at a high rate in the last 10 years, yet only 5 per cent of the motorists of America are responsible for them. Such is the surprising revelation made to members of the National Safety Council at its sixteenth annual safety congress at Chicago. Charles E. Hill, vice-president of the organization, brought out the point that there was an increase of 283 per cent in deaths from auto accidents in the 10 years from 1917 to 1926. The fatalities in 1927 were 6000. Last year there were 23,000. "In other words," he points out, "during 1926 there were more people killed through automobile accidents than were killed at grade crossings during the entire 10-year period." Yet blame for most of these accidents may be placed on the shoulders of only 5 per cent of the motoring public, he adds. "About 95 per cent of the motorists of this country are reasonably Drastic Changes Made in Ordinance Governing Public Dance Halls; Five Points People File Two Petitions Relative to Zoning Ordinance; One Wants Business Excluded, and the Other Wants It Encouraged CITY ordinance No. 510, regulating the conduct of public dances, and considerably restricting the liberties heretofore enjoyed by the merry-makers, was adopted by the trustees Thursday night, and is now a law. It places these public entertainments under stricter police supervision, and provides that a matron, with police authority, shall be present at each dance to restrain the exuberant spirits of the revelers, and maintain decorum. There are several sections in it modifying the ordinance now in force, and some of them are stringent. For instance, under this ordinance it shall be unlawful for attendants to admit minors under 16, male or female, to the dance floor. It prohibits holding dances between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. It provides that all public dance halls shall be adequately lighted so that there will be no shady nooks or dark passages. It makes it unlawful for any person to carry alcoholic liquor of any kind into the hall, and no person showing signs of intoxication shall be permitted on the floor. All dances shall be under strict supervision of the police, and any infraction of these rules will meet with swift action. In its efforts to adopt a zoning ordinance regulating the sections where business is permitted, the council finds itself in a quandary occasionally. At Thursday night's meeting two petitions, numerously signed, were presented by the people of Five Points, one asking that section be restricted to residences, and the other petitioning that it be opened to business. Five Points is developing into an important business section, and many of the property owners in that region are hoping it will continue in that direction. Attorney Clyde Bishop, representing the joint outfall sewer board, presented a resolution to the council which admits Buena Park to the sewer. The resolution was passed and adopted. The council received and accepted the reports of department heads for the month of September. Chief J. S. Martin, as license collector, reported $709 collected during September from the sale of business licenses. The report of Electrical Inspector V. W. Hannum showed 24 electric light wiring permits, four power wire permits, and six light fixture permits issued during the past month. Fees collected totalled $74.82. W. J. Lake, deputy city comptroller, reported $19,463.05 collected by his department during the current 30-day period. Light users paid $10,014.85; Two Sailors Held On Assault Charge Victim May Be Fatally Injured, It Is Reported One man is near death in the Orange county hospital and two others are in the Anaheim city jail as the sequel of a drinking bout which started in Los Angeles Sunday. Julius Scholz, 30, whose home is in Venice but who has been working near San Juan Capistrano, has a fractured skull, suffered when he was hit over the head, police say, with a glass insulator by John D. Crompton, 18, a sailor connected with the naval base at San Diego. The other man held in jail is William B. Oden, 20, also a sailor. Scholz was found early Sunday morning on the state highway one mile south of Anaheim. He was rushed to the county hospital, where his condition is said to be critical. Crompton, who is said to have admitted striking Scholz with the glass insulator, and Oden were picked up by San Diego police as the result of word sent out by J. S. Martin, chief of police of Anaheim. The story, as revealed after the capture of the two men, was that the sailors and Scholz had been on a drinking party in Los Angeles. They started for San Diego and, south of Anaheim, an argument arose, culminating in Crompton hitting Scholz police say. The sailors tossed Scholz from his car and raced toward San Diego. On the Torrey Pines grade a bearing burned out and they were forced to abandon the car. They separated, and a short time later Oden was picked up by San Diego police on a drunk charge. Questioned by police, he is said to have told of the fight. Crompton was arrested a short time later. If Scholz dies, murder charges will be filed against Crompton and possibly Oden.

Other reports approved included that of the building inspector and city manager. Expenses of operating the public library during September were $1,267.96, leaving a balance of $2,294.60 in the library fund, according to the report of Miss Elizabeth Calnon, librarian. Demands against the city totaling $19,670.20 were approved and warrants in payment ordered drawn. The council acknowledged a communication from the library board which expressed appreciation to a number of city officials and department heads for their co-operation. Ray E. Smith, representing the county health department, complimented the council on behalf of the state board of health, on the sanitary condition of the city, particularly the manner in which streets and alleys are maintained. Jack Hebson, representing the American Legion band, asked for and received permission to hold a series of concerts on the streets of Anaheim under the auspices of local merchants. Mrs. Murdock Henry was visiting friends in Anaheim last Thursday. She had spent a month visiting relatives and friends in Santa Ana, and stopped off here on the way to her home in Stockton. She is the wife of Murdock Henry, a former resident here, but now living at Stockton. Armistice Parade Six Miles in Length To Be Most Thrilling Procession Ever Seen in County A six-mile procession of thrills was assured by the Armistice Day committee, after reviewing the entries to date for the monster parade which will be the opening act of a 12-hour, all-star celebration program scheduled for Fullerton on November 11. Many of the features in the far-flung line of review are expected to create that "lump-in-the-throat" feeling which always accompanies big patriotic ceremonies, but the supreme thrill of the day will be furnished, it is declared, by the gorgeous display of massed colors which will be featured at the head of the parade. This group showing of colorful flags and emblems, under command of Captain Stanley Chapman, will pass the reviewing stand, flying triumphantly in the breeze, as the starting gun goes off, at exactly 11 a.m. on Armistice Day, and from that moment until midnight, Fullerton will be the happy yelling ground for the thousands who come here to celebrate. Additions are being listed hourly to the lineup already said to be more complete than any previous event in Orange county, and plans and lay-outs of the various divisions are being periodically enlarged and remodelled to accommodate new floats, features, maching units and mounted entries. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Wallop and Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Rust, who went north to witness the U.S.C.-Stanford football game, have been stopping at the Casa del Rey hotel at Santa Cruz.

AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, October 20, 1927 DISAGREE ON PROPOSED DISCUSS PLANS FOR CONTROL OF RIVER ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND SUPERVISORS HOLD SESSION FRIDAY State Engineer Hyatt Offers to Co-operate With County Engineers in Making Survey; H. H. Hale, President of Anaheim Union Water Co., Denies Company Is Opposing Dam in River; Meeting Harmonious Bean Growers Of County Will Receive $250,000 ORANGE county members of the lima bean growers' associations will benefit by a quarter of a million dollars through the distribution by the California Lima Bean Growers' Association of $1,125,000. According to announcement by R. L. Churchill, manager of the association, funds have been placed with the secretaries of grower associations sufficient to permit a distribution of 3 cents a pound on all deliveries made up to October 1. Associations exist on the Irvine ranch, and at Greenville, Garden Grove, and Smeltzer. At the same time the manager announced that the association expects to make final payment upon the 1926 crop pool of regular limas before the end of October. Final payment on the 1926 baby limas was made several months ago. In commenting upon the 1927 crop production, Manager Churchill stated that the harvest is now nearing completion and that a checking in CHARITY CIRCUS ATTRACTS BIG CROWDS THOUSANDS ATTEND BIG ELKS ENTERTAINMENT AT ORANGE SHOW GROUNDS Circus Performance and High Class Vaudeville Each Night, With Excellent Music; Prizes Every Night to Holders of Lucky Tickets; New Studebaker Sedan Will Be Given Away on Saturday Evening THE most popular resort in Anaheim this week is the Elks Charity Circus, which is Woman Long MRS.

H. Hale, President of Anaheim Union Water Co., Denies Company Is Opposing Dam in River; Meeting Harmonious AT A meeting of the Orange county flood control committee with the supervisors Friday, H. H. Hale, president of the Anaheim Union Water Company, is opposed to the construction of a dam at Prado, nor any other point, provided it can be shown the people of Orange county will reap a benefit for their expenditure. Hale, who is a member of the advisory committee, contributed this important bit of information to a discussion of plans and policies for the flood control movement, to set at rest reports that the water interests of northern Orange county were arbitrarily set against any proposal to build a dam in Santa Ana canyon. "I want this committee to understand one thing." Hale said. "There has been a lot of talk to the effect that the Anaheim Union Water Company, and especially myself, were opposed to a Prado dam. We are not opposed to it, unless we find that it will affect our water supply from the Chino district. In fact, we are very anxious to have an investigation made of the situation, such as proposed by the county flood control district." Other developments of the meeting besides this assurance of harmony were summed up as follows: 1—Engineer Paul Bailey advised the board that he would carry on his investigation of water resources on the theory that the county wanted to work out a plan of flood control that would conserve the water, rather than merely prevent flood damage. This theory was endorsed by the meeting. 2—The engineer’s field parties are now working on Carbon canyon, north of Santa Ana river, and Santa lagoon, on the south side, and will alternate in the investigation of streams, taking a northern stream and then a southern stream in turn. It is desired that the general public shall not get the idea that the program is to be centered upon the Santa Ana river alone, though that is the chief source of supply. Bailey announced that his plans covered Carbon canyon, Brea canyon and Coyote creek, to the north of Santa Ana river, and Santiago, Alliso, Trabucod and San Juan creeks to the south. 3—Four dam sites on the Santa Ana river are under consideration, two being at Prado, in Riverside county, while the other two are at Sculley’s point below that location, near the border line between the two counties. No choice can be made until the engineers investigate each location, but Bailey is of the opinion that either site will contribute a significant amount of revenue to the county. D. A. R.

ORANGE SHOW GROUNDS Circus Performance and High Class Vaudeville Each Night, With Excellent Music; Prizes Every Night to Holders of Lucky Tickets; New Studebaker Sedan Will Be Given Away on Saturday Evening THE most popular resort in Anaheim this week is the Elks Charity Circus, which is being housed in a large tent on the Orange Show grounds. The first performance was given Saturday night, and it will continue all this week, winding up Saturday night. While the Elks have the reputation of always offering the public something worth while, this entertainment, inasmuch as the hours are crowded with high-class vaudeville stunts, circus performances and music, large crowds have been in attendance, and as those who witnessed it are spreading its praise, there is little doubt that the big tent will be comfortably filled each night. This circus is given for the purpose of swelling the Christmas fund to be expended at the holiday season for the relief of indigent families, and for the purpose of bringing Christmas cheer to the hearts of children who unfortunately are passed up by Santa Claus each year. This annual Christmas fund is accumulated by Elks lodges throughout the year, and is always expended where it will do the most good. In this circus there are ten acts by professional artists each night, and they are among the best on the stage. The performance is changed nightly, and the man who paid 50 cents for a season ticket is certain to get the worth of his money. In addition to the excellent performance the visitor enjoys, he has a chance to win numerous prizes. Prizes to the value of $2500 are given away during the seven nights the show is open, and they are all worth-white prizes. The capital prize, however, will not be given away until Saturday night, the last night of the show. This is a brand new Studebaker sedan, furnished by the Harry D. Riley agency. Every person holding a ticket will have his name in the hat entitling him to a chance on this beautiful car, and the lucky person holding the right number will receive a $1500 car for his 50-cent investment.

P. C. SQUIRES, Anaheim, faces a long stay in the county jail, following her arrest Saturday night on a drunk charge, when she and her husband were taken in custody by Joe Clever, state traffic officer. The husband was booked at the county jail on a charge of driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor. Mrs. Squires was in Justice Kenneth Morrison's court several days ago, charged with being drunk. She was given a 50-day suspended jail sentence at the time, and the court told her that if she was arrested again she would have to serve the time, together with a new sentence. Although both she and her husband were arrested in the San Juan Capistrano township, Justice Morrison has asked that the woman be held after her appearance at San Juan Capistrano for his court. Squires and his wife probably will be taken to San Juan Capistrano, it HUNDREDS WILL PARTICIPATE IN PARADE HALLOWE'EN PARTY COMMITTEE BUSY ARRANGING THE DETAILS Floats, Vehicles, and Costumes Promise to Be Grotesque and Unique; Parade Longer and More Amusing Than Before; Prizes Given Most Ridiculous Outfit; All Store Windows Will Be Suitably Decorated ALL signs point to the conclusion that the Hallowe'en festival to be held on the streets Kiwanians to Elect Officers Tuesday Long List of Nominations for Board of Directors Election of officers will feature the meeting of the Anaheim Kiwians Club next Tuesday at the Elks clubhouse. Nominations have been made for all offices, but other nominations may be made until the time of the election. It will be necessary to elect to all the major offices of the club and seven directors. Nominations for the directors include William Wallop, W. A. Franzen, Don Winans, Ernest Glelow, William Stark, Forrest Fowler, Joe Collings, Arthur Porter, John Newhard, Harry Horn, Fred Robbins, Ted Kuchel, E. E. Smith, Robert Easton, John Price, and Floyd McCracken. Entertainment features yesterday included a description of his recent trip to Europe by Fred Backs, and a special vocal solo by Dr. C. O. Patterson, accompanied by Miss Katherine Steward. A number of Anaheim Kiwians will attend the charter presentation to be held Friday evening of this week by the Buena Park club. Noted Educator to Speak in Anaheim Dr. von KleinSmid to Address Men's Open Forum Club People of Anaheim have a rare treat in store for them next Monday evening, October 24, at White Temple church. The Men's Open Forum Club holds its fall opening and presents a program of outstanding interest. Dinner will be served at 6:30 o'clock. It will be "ladies' night," and they are urged to attend. Dr. R. B. von KleinSmid, president of the University of Southern California, will be the principal speaker. Dr. von KleinSmid is a leader in education, and a man worth going any distance to hear. Students and alumni of the University of Southern California ING THE DETAILS Floats, Vehicles, and Costumes Promise to Be Grotesque and Unique; Parade Longer and More Amusing Than Before; Prizes Given Most Ridiculous Outfit; All Store Windows Will Be Suitably Decorated ALL signs point to the conclusion that the Hallowe'en festival to be held on the streets of Anaheim on Friday, October 28, will be one of the most enjoyable entertainments ever attempted by the people of this city. It will be unique and laughable, as the parade from head to tail will be grotesque. No attempt at beauty in construction of the floats, decoration of the vehicles or the costumes of the masqueraders who will participate, as prizes will be awarded to those making the most ridiculous appearance. All Hallowe'en is the day—or rather the night—when pixies, fairies, witches, and other nuisances are permitted to revisit the earth, and they usually make good use of their limited time by turning everything topsy-turvy, which they usually do in order to remind the people next day that they had not forgotten the date. Hallowe'en celebrations are also regarded as "harvest home" festivals, "when the frost is on the pumpkin" and the fodder's in the shock." It is the season when the weary husbandman can contemplate his garnered crop and take a rest from his summer's labor. The entire Merchants' Association is behind this move this year, and every effort will be made to make the parade far superior to any of former years. Hundreds of persons have signified their intention of participating, and each participant will endeavor to outdo the others in the construction of a unique display, and therefore win one of the prizes. As each party making an entry is keeping his design secret, and as there is no limit to the latitude permitted the performers, a most unique parade will amble down Center street. It is believed that every business house in Anaheim will be suitably decorated for the occasion, the designs naturally carrying out the Hallowe'en idea. Prizes will be given for the three best decorated floats, consequently there will be much rivalry among them. Ample music will enliven the line of march, as bands have been engaged for the purpose. There will also be a street dance following the parade. Tax Collector Lamb Mails Annual Bills Fifty Thousand Sent Out to Taxpayers Monday People of Anaheim have a rare treat in store for them next Monday evening, October 24, at White Temple church.

Dr. R. B. von KleinSmid, president of the University of Southern California, will be the principal speaker. Dr. von KleinSmid is a leader in education, and a man worth going any distance to hear. Students and alumni of the University of Southern California are to be special guests of the evening. The complete program is as follows: Dr. R. B. von KleinSmid, president of University of Southern California. A statesman leader in education; Madame Anna Ruzena Sprotte of Los Angeles, contralto soloist. Royal court singer of Saxony before coming to America; Anton Chris, steel guitar artist. Considered the outstanding concert player of the present season in Los Angeles; Josephine Hardin, reader, of Los Angeles, will charm all in her delightful interpretation. BURZLOFF-STRANSKE WEDDING A very pretty wedding was celebrated at the German Baptist church on Friday evening, at 7:30 o'clock, when Miss Olga Stranske became the bride of Walter Burzloff. The ceremony was performed by Rev. O. R. Schroeder. Herman Remland sang "O Promise Me," and Mrs. Walter Schroeder rendered "At Dawning," and "Love Came a Calling," and John and Elvin Grauer gave a violin solo. The bride was attended by Miss Ella Grauer as maid of honor, and Miss Adina Stranske and Miss Adela Schroeder, Martha Dargatz and Lydia Grauer attended as streamer girls. The ushers were Ewald Stranske and William Pistorius. John Stranske was best man. A reception was held in the church basement after the ceremony and refreshments were served. The happy couple left for a short honeymoon trip to San Diego, and upon their return will reside on East Alberta street. Ample music will enliven the line of march, as bands have been engaged for the purpose. There will also be a street dance following the parade. Tax Collector Lamb Mails Annual Bills Fifty thousand tax bills, calculated to bring into the treasury of Orange county the largest amount of money ever collected for taxes, were mailed by J. C. Lamb, tax collector. His office is charged with the sum of $5,890,-380.83 in taxes, while $1,117,749.82 in personal property taxes already has been collected through the office of the assessor, Jim Sleeper. These two figures total $7,008,130.65, which is the amount expected to be brought in as taxes. Last year the amount brought in by personal and property taxes was $5,760,228.67, almost $2,000,000 less than the tax bill this year. An increase of 11 per cent in the assessed valuation of Orange county is responsible partly for the jump in this year's bill, while a raise of 20 cents in the tax rate this year accounts for another part of the increase. In addition to the 50,000 bills which are in the mails, 10,00 more will be mailed to corporations and to persons owning personal property who have not paid already. There are approximately 3000 soldier exemptions. From 20 to 25 employees have been busy at the tax office for the past three weeks preparing the bills, and they will continue to be busy next week when the returns begin to come in. Lamb pointed out that many bills start back to his office almost as soon as they reach the postoffice. Although the last few days before taxes become delinquent are very busy, there will be immediate activity at the office in receiving payments. Taxes become delinquent on the first Monday in December and the last Monday in April.
