L. A. Opposing State Water Aid All Other Sections of Southland Favor the Project That Los Angeles is opposed to state aid in the development of Southern California water conservation and other development problems, while the majority of outside districts favor it, was the conclusion drawn by representatives at the meeting called by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce in that city Tuesday to discuss the state water plan and certain phases of the Colorado river aqueduct plan. Members of the 1920 committee appointed by the legislature to study and carry out the state water plan met with the representatives of the southland districts at the meeting. projects are included in the state program for water conservation and flood control, it was reported. These will entail a bond issue of $180,000,000. Southern California has not been included in At the present time three important the plans to date, and it was for the purpose of ascertaining needs south of the Tehachipi that the meeting in Los Angeles was called. Suggested projects in Southern California to be included in the state program were the Colorado river aqueduct, All-American canal, Santa Ana river and several others. The tri-county project for the complete development of resources of the Santa Ana river in water conservation and flood control, would involve an expenditure of approximately $30,000,000. It was pointed out. This is not the Orange county program alone, but the entire project for San Bernardino and Riverside counties as well, it was explained. J. J. Lippincott, engineer, expressed himself in favor of including at least some of the major projects of Southern California in the state plan. Senator Ralph Swing from San Bernardino also favored the state plan, as did representatives from the Imperial valley and other Southern California points. W. A. Mulholland, Los Angeles engineer, was opposed to the state participating in any of the projects, raising as the other forward through his good floor work, despite his lack of unusual altitude. Mortensen, who has been due to be benched for staleness in the U. C. L. A. game last Saturday, but who came back to be high point man for the affair, will probably start in his center post, while Lehners is a certainty for one guard position. In the other guard berth Calland is stuck for a tall man and may not use either Thomas, the regular starer, or Ray Harris, his sub. Jim Truher, who is well over six feet in height, is being watched closely by Calland in practice sessions this week and if he makes a good impression he will probably get the call to pair with Lehners at guard. California's impressive 41-23 win over Stanford Saturday makes Southern California's chances look small despite the Trojans' 28-23 victory over U. C. L. A. Short Course For Public Officials Dealing with the duties, powers and responsibilities of those engaged in public service, a short summer course for public officials and personnel is to be given at the University of Southern California in June, under the auspices of the Division of Public Administration. Departments of study, to be attended by estate, county and municipal officers and employees, include the following: Administration of Justice, Assessment and Taxation, Budgets, Building Inspection, City Clerkship Administration, Educational Administration, Fire Prevention and Control, Governmental Accounting, Juvenile Welfare, Municipal Law, Police Administration, Public Health, Planning and Zoning, Recreation and Parks, Street Traffic Control, Sanitary Engineering and ater Supply. Two separate sections will be held, one the week of June 8-15, and one the week of June 15-22, so that public officials and personnel may attend without inconvenience to routine. The program will provide a scientific and practical university course on modern governmental administration to public officers, department heads and staff members in Rock Mountain and Pacific Coast states, according to Emery E. Olson, director of the Division of Public Administration at the University of Southern California. Fullerton New County Will Not Join its County Wife Revealing the first word the establishment Junior College plants possibly the northern district, it became known school trustees have a 40-acre tract in the east part of the city lieved will be accepted.

J. J. Lippincott, engineer, expressed himself in favor of including at least some of the major projects of Southern California in the state plan. Senator Ralph Swing from San Bernardino also favored the state plan, as did representatives from the Imperial valley and other Southern California points. W. A. Mulholland, Los Angeles engineer, was opposed to the state participating in any of the projects, raising the point that it was more desirable to keep control of the development plans in the districts which could be formed to carry them out. Mayor Cryer of Los Angeles and W. A. Lackey, former president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, also opposed the state plan on the same grounds. Mulholland pointed out that the Owen river acqueduct cost approximately $150 per capita at the time it was constructed. The Colorado river acqueduct would cost but $107 per capita, according to figures based on the present population of the proposed Metropolitan Water District, which would bear the cost, according to Mulholland. Representatives of the districts outside of Los Angeles raised the point that this would be a heavy expense for some of the sections included in the Metropolitan Water District, and no definite agreement on the matter was reached at the meeting. Approximately 550 representatives of Southern California communities and the city of Los Angeles attended the meeting. What It Costs To Violate Law It costs money to hold deer meat in one's possession after the season closes. This fact was rather forebicly called to the attention of two hunters who were fined $750 within the past week following arrests by deputies of the Division of Fish and Game. Floyd Earp of Oakland was arrested near Maxwell by Captain Carpenter and Deputies Atkinson, Anderson, Shearin, Dinsdale, Miner, London and Christensen. He was taken before Judge Reckers at Williams and a fine of $500 was assessed along with a lecture by the court. Earp paid $250 and was allowed four months to pay the balance. At Priest Valley in Monterey county, Deputies Schneider and Post located 50 pounds of spoiled deer meat in an ice box in the tank house on the place where Jerome Griffin lived. The deputies took the meat and arrested Griffin at San Lucas. Taken into the court of Judge Glacomazzi of Soledad, Griffin paid this good price of $5 a pound for his violation and was also turned loose with a lecture. The deputies as well as the judges came in for condemnation by Eugene D Bennett, executive officer and attorney for the division, when the report was brought to his attention by the chief of patrol. It is only through such vigilance, Street Traffic Control, Sanitary Engineering and alter Supply. Two separate sections will be held one the week of June 8-15, and one the week of June 15-22, so that public officials and personnel may attend without inconvenience to routine. The program will provide a scientific and practical university course on modern governmental administration to public officers, department heads and staff members in Rock Mountain and Pacific Coast states, according to Emery E. Olson, director of the Division of Public Administration at the University of Southern California. Four Women Get Divorces Monday Four Orange county women are in possession of interlocutory divorce decrees as a result of hearings held Monday before Presiding Judge James L. Allen. Verda K. Elliott, who alleged in her complaint that her husband Edwin P. Elliott had kicked her in the eye, was granted legal separation. She also alleged that Elliott had failed to provide for her support. They were married in 1924 and separated in 1926, the complaint stated. The complaint of Marguerite Johnson who was granted an interlocutory decree from Lloyd I. Johnson, stated that he had been in the habit of devoting his attention to other women. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were married in 1926 and separated September 15, 1928, the complaint said. Failure to provide was the basis of the complaint of Lora L. Hopwood, who was granted a decree of divorce from Will C. Hopwood. They were married in 1924 and separated in 1927, according to her complaint. Desertion was alleged as grounds for a divorce complaint brought by Grace E. Hatfield against Ira E. Hatfield. The plaintiff was granted a divorce Monday. They were married in 1920 and separated in 1927, the complaint asserted. Two State Picnics at Sycamore Grove All who ever lived in Wisconsin are invited to meet for the great picnic reunion, all day Saturday, February 9th, 1929, in Sycamore Grove Park. Come as early as you can and spend the day with friends. There will be county registers and headquarters so all can and the old neighbors, even with ten thousand and present. There will be a brief program opening about two o'clock, but the main purpose will be to have a good time. All the tourists and visitors from the old home state as well as residents are invited, so as to make this the greatest picnic in our history. Bring your baskets well filled. Coffee will be provided. Each one learns of this picnic is asked to pass the word along. President John Skillman of the Cole Deputies Schneider and Post located 50 pounds of spolled deer meat in an ice box in the tank house on the place where Jerome Griffin lived. The deputies took the meat and arrested Griffin at San Lucas. Taken into the court of Judge Glacomazzi of Soledad, Griffin paid this good price of $4 a pound for his violation and was also turned loose with a lecture. The deputies as well as the judges came in for condemnation by Eugene D Bennett, executive officer and attorney for the division, when the report was brought to his attention by the chief of patrol. "It is only through such vigilant work on the part of our field force as well as such fine co-operation by our judges that we are reducing the fish and game violations to a minimum, and this work is greatly appreciated by the division," Bennett declared. Trojan Basketteers To Meet the Bears Fifteen members of Coach Leo Calland's basketball squad will leave Friday night for a meeting on the Oakland Auditorium floor the following night with University of California's fast five that now leads the Pacific Coast Conference race. Trojan basketteers were named for the northern trip by Calland as follows: Forwards, Aaron Nibley, Henry Cano, Herman Hirdler, Gordon Boelter, Dick Schultz, Bill Capp and Frank Smith; centers, Jesse Mortensen and Jack Ferguson; guards, Capt. Lloyd Thomas, John Lehners, Carl Denny, Raymond Harris, Henry Walbot and Jim Truher. Coach Calland, Student Manager Walter Rice and Dr. Packard Thurber will accompany the players. Southern California's coach expects to make new chifts in his lineup for the Bear series in an endeavor to get taller boys on his starting squad, as California had an almost overwhelming height advantage when the teams met in earlier games. Smith, the six-foot-three boy who began the season as a center, will probably start in Cano's place at forward, with Nibley retaining his position. President John Skillman of the Colorado State Society is announcing the annual picnic for all former residents of that state. It will be held all day Sunday, February 10th, in Sycamore Grove Park, Los Angeles, with basket dinners at noon. He promises a popular program and that county registers and headquarters will be open all day so friends may meet each other. The program will follow the dinner hour and hot coffee will be supplied for all picknickers. Lunches are sold in the park. All Coloradans are urged to rally for a great day together. CANADIAN REUNION The 18th Annual Midwinter Reunion and Picnic, under auspices of the Canadian Tourists' Association (the only Canadian society in in California), will be held Saturday, February 9th (all day), at Exposition Park (next Coliseum), Los Angeles, corner Santa Barbara avenue and Hoover street.

Fullerton Plans New College Site Will Not Join in Proposal For County Wide School Revealing the first definite steps toward the establishing of a separate Junior College plant for Fullerton, and possibly the northern Orange county district, it became known that the high school trustees have made an offer for a 10-acre tract in the hills in the northeast part of the city, which it is believed will be acceptable to the owners. The exact location of the tract and the amount of purchase was not revealed by the school board at the present time, they preferring to withhold details until completion of the deal. The school board went to record definitively at its meeting as opposed to a county Junior College, and later revealed its plans for building the new district Junior College. W. J. Travers reported on his negotiations for possible locations, stating in his report to the board that he had been working on the matter for several months. In discussing a northern Orange county Junior College with the special committee of the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce, the high school trustees declared that they do not feel their duty to take the initiative in urging other districts to join. Members of the board declared that Anaheim had given every opportunity to submit sites or to become part of a northern Orange county junior college district, but had made no move in that direction. It was believed by the high school trustees that the site now under consideration will be particularly acceptable to Brea, as with the opening of the Harvard avenue road, now being built, it will be easily accessible from that city. Plans for a Junior College to provide for 700 students at the outset, with provision for expansion to a point much larger to meet growing needs are being considered by the school trustees. The present project is not a sudden movement brought to a head by the imbending action of the Orange county Junior College plan, S. C. Hartranft, president of the board, explained. Travers has been working on the matter.

Ten percent (10%) of the amount bid to be deposited with bid; bids or offers to be in writing and will be received at afore- Auto Registration In Charge of County Orange county, with 39,284 automobiles registered in 1928, ranked seventh in the 58 counties of California in point of numbers, according to figures compiled today by the Division of Motor Vehicles at Sacramento, which showed a total of 1,591,739 during the year. This figure represents a net gain of 112,328 in paid registrations over 1927. The total registrations, inclusive of passenger cars, sold and pneumatic fire trucks, motorcycles and trailers amounted to 1,859,432 as compared with 1,736,765 for 1927, or an approximate gain of 7 per cent. The fee paid registrations for the year were divided as follows: automobiles 1,591,739; solid tire trucks 36,618; pneumatic trucks 184,450; motorcycles 1,455; trailers 37,170. While passenger cars showed a steady gain, there was a slight drop in the number of solid tire trucks registered, but motorcycles, which have been losing consistently for several years, showed a slight increase. Motor vehicle officials explained that the registration by county is the basis used in apportioning each county its share of the registration fees to be used for road purposes. Although the totals have not been completely checked, there are indications that the division's total receipts will be near $9,000,000 for the year. Most of this money will be apportioned to the counties and the state highway maintenance and repair. The record by counties shows Los Angeles registered 745,929 vehicles during the year, or more than one-third of all registrations in the entire state. San Francisco was second and Alameda third. In Orange county 477 solid tire trucks and 4,069 pneumatic tire trucks, 232 motorcycles and 1,637 trailers were registered.

Investigation of the case, particularly in possibility that a woman may have been involved in some stage of the gedy, was being carried on by the friends and authorities at Pasco, under the direction of C. M. O'Brien, attorney, representing the estate. Orange county authorities have no new facts to offer in connection with the case, their search for the stranger seen with Merz prior to his sudden leap from a Santa Fe train near the point where his body was found, having thus proved futile. The verdict returned by the coroner's jury, which admitted it was unable to state from the evidence offered at the inquiry whether death was due to murder or suicide, has left the case open. While no special investigation is being pursued by Orange county authorities, they have broadcast a description of the stranger wanted for questioning and are still on the alert in event he is apprehended.
