Claimed That the Report Was Not Comprehensive Enough and Was Taken Mostly From the City Records; Hannum and Hapgood Favor—Acceptance of the Report, and the Board So Acts.
An animated discussion enlivened the proceedings at the council meeting Thursday night when Councilman Lake man voiced his sentiments against the acceptance of a report on the city water works system filed by Burns, McDowell & Smith, engineers who have been inspecting the city water works system. He stood alone in his contention the balance of the board being unanimous in favor of accepting the report.
Lakeman objected to the report, for which the engineers are to receive the sum of $1,000, on its grounds that it consisted solely of figures, obtained largely from the city's records. The actual conditions of the mains and the supply tank should be known and the engineers should have drained and examined the tank, he asserted.
Councilman A. W. Franzen said that the mains could not be dug up. Lake-man disagreed with this statement and contended that the report was not complete. The engineers of Anaheim could have made a more comprehensive report, he declared.
Councilman W. D. Grafton stated that he believed that the report embodied a comprehensive plan and that it gave the city an outline of the present system and the future need of the city. It included, he said, location of hydrants, valves, mains and the water pressure at various points in the city.
Mayor L. E. Miller asked V./W. Hannum, city water works superintendent, to speak on the report. Hannum stated that while the tank had not been drained static pressure had been tested and the drop in pressure checked when hydrants were opened. City records were used, it was said, as the basis of the engineers' survey.
Lakeman declared that no records were available in determining when some of the pipe had been laid.
In response to a request made by the mayor, City Engineer E. P. Hapgood stated that the engineers had worked from his office for about two weeks, and had worked about the city for about the same period of time.
On a motion made by Councilman Franzen and seconded by Grafton, the report was accepted. Councilman Lake-man casting the only dissenting vote.
Anaheim night baseball activity this year at the city park was definitely backed last night by the city council, when the sum of $1,150 was placed at the disposal of the baseball commission for its share of playground funds.
Generous support of the popular night games will result definitely in a greatly enlarged schedule of games, a county league game here each week, and a nightly program of city games, it was promised. One-third more games
Prominent Man Called by Death
George M. Tedrick Succumbs to An Attack of Heart Failure
George M. Tedrick, one of Anaheim's most prominent citizens for many years, died suddenly at his home on Valencia street, at 10 o'clock in the evening Thursday, following a heart attack. He was about town attending to affairs during the day, but was strick en after he reached home.
Mr. Tedrick has been a resident of Anaheim for 22 years, coming here from Hutchinson, Kansas. For the past twenty years he has been a rural carrier for the postoffice, but has also been engaged in orange culture. He was one of the pillars of the White Temple Methodist church and for seventeen years was superintendent of the Sunday school, but some months ago he retired from that position. He was also treasurer of the church. He was 64 years of age and growing disposition caused him to resign the task of superintendent of the Sunday school. In his younger days he was a school teacher in Kansas, and held the position of superintendent of the state schools. In a few months he would have been placed on the postoffice's retired list.
Deceased is survived by the widow, Belle M. Tedrick, a son, Paul D. Tedrick of Anaheim; two daughters, Mrs. Fred Weisel of Anaheim and Mrs. Stanley Petersen of Berkeley; and three brothers, William Harvey and Charles, all of Hutchinson, Kansas.
Funeral services were held at two o'clock Monday afternoon at Backs, Terry and Camphill's chapel, Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood, pastor of the White Temple church, and a warm friend of the deceased, officiating. Burial was made in White Haven cemetery, Santa Ana. The pallbearers were Perry W. Mathis, W. M. Wellman, Dr. J. W. Harpster, O. E. Steward, W. S. Price and Charley Eygabroad, all of whom were associated with him for many years in church work.

Anaheim night baseball activity this year at the city park was definitely backed last night by the city council, when the sum of $1,150 was placed at the disposal of the baseball commission for its share of playground funds.
Generous support of the popular night games will result definitively in a greatly enlarged schedule of games, a county league game here each week, and a nightly program of city games, it was promised. One-third more games will be played this year than last, it was learned.
Heading the baseball commission, the recent appointment of which was approved by the council, is Conrad Jongewaard, active in the night baseball activity last year.
Gas Engine Cause Of Much Complaint
Residents Near Municipal Plant File Injunction
The Anaheim city electricity generating plant, with its heavy generators, gas engines and "noisy machinery," creates "sundry great noises night and day" that vibrate the earth, crack the plaster and disturb peace in the homes of Mr. and Mrs. George Fendley and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Timme, who live near the plant.
The Fendleys and Timmes so alleged in a complaint filed in superior court for an injunction to prevent operation of the generating plant.
Since it began operating last October 1, the Fendley home at 523 and the Timme residence at 530 South Los Angeles streets, Anaheim, have been uncomfortable dwelling places, the plaintiffs represent. The walls and foundations of the houses tremble and sway, slumber is impossible and if the asserted nuisance is not alated, the families will have to move elsewhere.
FINE ORANGE CROP
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Allgeyer were in town this week transacting business and calling upon friends. Mr. Allgeyer is a son of one of the pioneer residents of the Brookhurst section, and his orange orchard is one of the most productive and best kept in the county. His trees bore heavily last year and have a good crop this season, which will soon be ready for the market. Fruit is of especially fine flavor and prices promise to be high.
NEW GAS MAINS
The gas company has a force of men employed in digging a trench and laying a new and larger gas main in the alley extending east from Los Angeles street, south of Broadway. A six-inch bore has been tunneled under the pavement on Claudina street, men working from each side. New and larger gas pipes have been conducted into residences along the thoroughfare and the old lines discarded.
The old-fashioned woman who used to brag about her light biscuits has a daughter who takes great pride n her light feet.
they declare.
In addition to the injunction, the complaint demands $1,000 for Mr. and Mrs. Fendley and $500 for Mr. and Mrs. Timme, for damages already done.
When informed of the injunction action brought in superior court by four Anahelm residents, City Manager J. W. Price declared that the action has been expected.
There were early complaints against the project, Price said. These complaints were investigated, the objectionable engine was adjusted to eliminate the vibration, and of recent date there have been no complaints, he said.
On South Los Angeles street there are continuous vibrations from passing trucks, railroads and from the gas engine. Price pointed out. Oftentimes, he said, it is impossible to tell what is causing the trembling complained of.

L. A. Speaker Tells A. C. of C. Of Its Advantages
Charles H. Diggs, director of the Los Angeles regional plannin gecommission, told men and women present at the annual meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county, at St. Ann's Inn, Thursday night, that direction of development in Orange county under a major planning program would save the taxpayers thousands of dollars.
He pointed out that millions of dollars have been spent in Los Angeles in correction of situations that would not have developed had there been a program of direction in the location and opening of streets, admission of subdivisions and assignment of properties to business use.
The speaker particularly stressed the point that Orange county should institute a commission at this time in preparation for a great development that is certain to take place here in the next few years.
Diggs discussed the "set-up" necessary for successful operation of a plan.

Feature Exhibits to Draw the Biggest Money, the Best One Being $300 and a Cup; Exhibitor of Best 40 Boxes of Valencias to Be Paid $100; Mammoth Tent is 660x130 Feet in Dimensions.
Liberal prizes for the best exhibits in the California Valencia Orange Show have been arranged by the committee on awards, decorations of the private booths being included in the list. Prizes also will be awarded for window decorations by the mercantile houses, the winner of first place getting $100. Second, third and fourth prizes, in graduated series will be given.
The show will be housed in a mammoth tent, 660x130 feet in dimensions, and this will be divided into five departments—the fruit and feature department, the by-products, the industrial, the automobile and the amusement departments.
For the best feature display having mechanical action, the premium use a cup and $300 in cash. Second, certificate and $200 in cash. Third, certificate and $100. Fourth, certificate and $50.
In the feature display without mechanical action the first prize is a cup and $250; second certificate and $150; third, certificate and $75; fourth, certificate and $50.
The exhibitor who is adjudged to have the best forty boxes of valencia oranges on display will receive a cup, a certificate and $100. The second best wins a certificate and $75, while the third gets a certificate and $25.
These are some of the principal premiums, but there are scores of others covering all the exhibits in the show.
The packing contest will be one of the most interesting feature of the show. Every packing house in the citrus belt will be represented by its most skillful lady packers, and the winner will be awarded the belt as the world champion. This is always interesting to visitors fro mthe East—and there will be thousands of them—and the valyms marvel at the defingered girls wrapping and packing the cranges in boxes for shipment with a rapidity almost quicker than the eye.
For entertainment a splendid program has been arranged, bringing here the best talent that can be procured. Afternoons and evenings there will be music, radio and vaudeville on a stage 40x50 feet. The programs will be changed each day.
The amusement department is always an interesting place for a large percentage of the visitors, and it is exceptionally good this year. There will be a carnival presenting all the features and freaks carried by a good carnival troupe. There will be a merry go-round, a Ferris wheel, and many other thing for the visitors to make a choice from if he wants to indulge in that kind of sport. There will also be the usual wheels of fortune where you can put a dime on a number and either win a valuable prize or lose your dime.
He pointed out that millions of dollars have been spent in Los Angeles in correction of situations that would not have developed had there been a program of direction in the location and opening of streets, admission of subdivisions and assignment of properties to business use.
The speaker particularly stressed the point that Orange county should institute a commission at this time in preparation for a great development that is certain to take place here in the next few years.
Diggs discussed the "set-up" necessary for successful operation of a planning commission and presented details of the organization of the Los Angeles regional commission. He gave emphasis to the necessity for creation of the proper foundation for such work by employment of trained men. The commission, he said, merely is advisory to the board of supervisors and has no authority by which it can enforce its own recommendations.
The planning director commented on the situation of hot dog stands, fruit stands and other small establishments lining Whittier street lavishly virtually to the Orange county line, and complimented this county on the fact that on the Orange county end of that boulevard there is complete absence of "merchandising shacks." He asserted his belief that the time never would come when lining of both sides of the highway in Orange county with business houses would be justified by population. The prediction often has been made that eventually the highway between here and Whittier would be built solidly with business houses.
In making his annual report for the good roads committee, J. A. Smiley pre sent figures on road construction in the county, presented early in the year by Nat H. Neff, superintendent of the county highways. Smiley declared necessity for a system of major highways in the county, pointing out that increasing population is making such a course more necessary each year.
The chamber passed over to the next meeting consideration of a suggestion that the meeting night of the body be changed from the last Thursday to the last Tuesday night of each month. Secretary Macleod said that the request had come from the weekly newspaper men of the county. Most of the publishers are busy Thursday nights in putting their respective papers to press it was pointed out, and were unable to attend the meetings. A committee was appointed to make investigators and report recommendations.
The members are George Rayner, Thomas Pickell and George MacLead.
George Reid, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce at Anaheim, announced that the Valencia Orange show to be held May 23-June 2, would be housed in a steel tent. The secretary gave a word picture of the publicity that would accrue to Orange county by use of such a tent and by the display of golden fruit that would be made. He said that this type of tent would be used at Anaheim for the first time in housing a display of this character.
The address of welcome was given by Miss E. Kate Rea, Retiring Member of the Grammar School Board, and Henry Ramm, Candidate for Re-election on the High School Board, Received All Votes; County District Elections All Quiet.

In the high school district Henry Ramm whose term had expired was re-elected, also without a dissenting vote. The vote in this district was extremely light, only 254 ballots being cast.
The Savanna election, which was marked by the only intense competition covered by the Anaheim Union high school, and which has been preceded by lively campaigning on part of two candidates, attracted a total of 96 voters to the polls.

The voters of the Cypress grammar school district took the trouble to visit polls, all casting "write-in" ballots for re-election of G. G. Priddy to the board of trustees. Mr. Priddy had not filled for re-election and no other name appeared on the ballots.
William Abplanalp, clerk for the Central grammar school board, was recited for another term, receiving 32 of the 33 votes cast. One "write-in" vote was cast for M. Shear.

The accident occurred at the corner of Ocean and Pine streets, in Garden Grove, when Short, who was following the sedan driven by Scroggins, crushed into the car when it started to make a left turn.
The injured man was taken to the office of Dr. Robbins, in Garden Grove, where it was discovered that his right ankle was fractured. He was removed to the hospital in the county ambulance.
H. G. Nelson of 185 West Center street, reported at the police department Saturday that a light top coat, robe, flashlight and a footmat had been stolen from a coupe parked in front of his place of business. B. H. Ashley of the same address reported the loss of an overcoat at the same time.
George Reid, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce at Anaheim, announced that the Valencia Orange show to be held May 23-June 2, would be housed in a steel tent.

Lotus H. Loudon of Anaheim was elected president of the body at the annual election of officers, J. S. Malcom of San Juan Capitlano was chosen vice-president, and George Macleod of Newport Beach was re-elected secretary and treasurer.
The officers were recommended by a nomination committee, headed by Tom Picklerill of Placentia, and were elected by acclamation.
In accepting election, Loudon pointed out that balanced development and prosperity in Orange county is a desirable situation and pledged his best endeavor to the organization in promotion of this condition.
Loudon succeeds Harry H. Hale of Placentia. The latter's administration was declared by Dr. C. G. Huston, Costa Mesa, to have been marked by success.
The retiring president, in brief remarks expressed his appreciation of the loyalty and co-operation delegates had extended him in the solution of the many problems that have come before the county booster body during the last twelve months.

OLD FRIEND IN TOWN
Henry Baneroft made a very pleasant call at this office on Monday afternoon while in town on a brief business mission. Henry came here with his parents fifty-seven years ago, in 1872. He lived in this section much of the time since then. His brother, Hubert, is now a resident of Brooklyn, where he is engaged in the manufacture of radios Henry has retired from active business pursuits and is now living, with his daughter and her family at Fullerton. He was an expert baseball player in his youth and still takes a keen delight in the national pastime. His father purchased a large ranch on Orangethorpe avenue, but disposed of it a number of years ago.

Travel Gaining
In Popularity
Miss J. Elizabeth Calnon, librarian of the Anaheim city library, heartily agrees with Edna St. Vincent Milay, that "spring rides no horses down the hill." Rather, she says, spring of 1929 rides an air ship and all of the patrons of the library, both young and old, are exceedingly interested in the event.
The interest in aviation is so great, eays Miss Calnon, that it is almost impossible to keep the public supplied with books and magazines on the subject. The interest is not confined alone to facts about flying, the librarian declares, but has been gaining a stronghold in the field of fiction for some months past.
"Air stories are appearing in all types of magazines," Miss Calnon declares, "and women are reading them as well as men and boys. Few men read fiction to any great extent, however.
"The greatest fiction readers who obtain books here are the men in the oil fields, especially the tower men, who read through the night."

Death Overtakes Citrus Manager
W. H. Johnston Passes Away at His Home Sunday Evening
W. H. Johnston, manager of the Brown-Johnston Fruit Co., died at his home on North Los Angeles street, Sunday evening, after an illness of three weeks. He was 54 years of age. Mr. Johnston was born in Ohio, but for the past thirty years has been engaged in the fruit business in Southern California. He has for some years been a judge at the National Orange Show in San Bernardino. For eight years he was manager of the Stewart Fruit company's house in this city.
When C. M. Brown of Redlands, one of the outstanding independent citrus distributors of Southern California, purchased the Stewart Fruit company's business here, Mr. Johnston continued as manager of the concern and, slightly less than two years ago, he purchased a partnership interest in the business from Mr. Brown. The concern has operated under the name of the Brown-Johnston Fruit company since that time.
The deceased is survived by his widow, Mrs. Bertha Johnston; three daughters, Mrs. A. C. Nygaard of Compon, Mrs. V. W. Borden of Berkeley, and Mrs. D. W. Sandilands of Anaheim; four sisters, Mrs. Clewett, Mrs. Mary Stewart and Miss Elizabeth Johnston, all of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Hattie Sallover of New York, and three brothers, Perry of Kansas, and Frank and Thomas of Ohio.

Anaheim Second In County Meet
Huntington Beach High Wins
Violators of the Statutes Will Continue To Be Prosecuted Under the State Law, Which Provides Sere Penalties for Violation; Federal Courts, However, May Apply the Law If Guilty Party Is Tried Therein.
That the ruling of State Attorney General U. S. Webb, who announced that he believes the Jones law is operative in California, will clear up the heretofore uncertain situation regarding justice court proceedings on liquor possession charges, was declared by District Attorney Z. B. West Jr., at whose request the attorney general rendered his opinion regarding the "five and ten" law.
The district attorney pointed out that, under the Jones law, possession of liquor was made a felony, carrying with it a term of five years in the penitentiary or a $10,000 fine, or both. Felony cases must be prosecuted in superior court and, if the Jones law were effective, it would result in a large increase in such cases on the superior court calendar.
Furthermore, West explained, the status of justice court convictions here since the passage of the Jones law would be in doubt if the law were declared to be effective. Those convicted on possession charges in justice court might have claimed that the justice court had no jurisdiction because the offense was a felony. It might have been necessary to retry the cases in superior court.
Under the existing ruling of the attorney general the standing of the justice court proceedings is left intact, and the possibility of such cases being taken to the superior court has been averted.
Whether the ruling of the attorney general will result in superior courts in other counties refusing to inflict Jones law penalties, was a question for which there seemed to be no definite answer. Superior Judge James L. Allen, whose recent decision that the law is not in effect gained nation-wide attention, said he did not believe the Webb decision made it mandatory on superior courts to refuse to invoke the Jones act.
Webb, in announcing his decision, said:
"I do not look for any learning of prosecutions because of this opinion." He said he believed the state courts would continue to inflict the heaviest sentences possible under the state law, the Wright act.
West called attention to a supreme court decision in which a defendant had sought a writ of habeas corpus after his conviction, claiming that the Wright act was void because it purported to enact in state law all penal provisions of the Volstead act. The chief contention in this case was that the entire Wright act was void because it adopted not only original penalties, but also future provisions of the Volstead law. The court held that, although the special session adopting future amendments might be void this
Anaheim Second In County Meet
Huntington Beach High Wins First Honors
Running true to form, Huntington Beach high school easily walked off with the Orange league track and field meet held on the beach city track Saturday. Anaheim won first honors in the Class C meet.
Coach Harry Sheue's athletes placed in every event on the program, except the mile and shot put, and amassed a grand total of 49 points. Anaheim was second with 28 2-3 and Fullerton third with 20 1-3 digits. Other schools finished in this order: Orange 16 2-3, Tustin 15 2-3, Excelsior 9, Brea 3 1-3, Garden Grove 1, San Juan Capistrano and Downey did not place.
Seven records went by the boards during the afternoon and four others were equalled, this feat nearly equalling the 1928 performances, when every previous record was broken. Perhaps the most sensational record of the day was the 22-flat 220-yard dash turned in by Alvin Koenig of Huntington Beach. He also equaled the 10-flat mark in the 100-yard dash, set by Burnison of Fullerton last year. Due to a misunderstanding, only one watch timed Koenig in the century, but the record was accepted. He had yards to spare in both races.
By getting first in both dashes and picking up pa fourth in the broad jump, Koenig was awarded the statuette for Hind, Tustin captain, won the leap-high point honors.

with Lenz, Anaheim, the winner in the record-breaking time of 4 minutes, 49½ seconds. Pratt, Tustin ace, ran him neck and neck—the whole last lap, but lost by a whisker at the tape. The old mark of 4:53.4 was held by Gurley of Fullerton.
Plerotti, lanky Fullerton weight man tossed the discus 115 feet and 6⅛ inches to excel the old distance of 115 feet. 3 inches set by Darracq, also of Fullerton. The heave of 47 feet, 10 inches last year by Thomas of Orange, also was bettered by McDonald. Excelsior, who shoved the weighty pellet 48 feet, 7½ inches.
In the high hurdles, Stricklin, Huntington Beach, and Darnley, Anaheim, raced home-neck and neck to tie the 16.4 record set by Delby of Fullerton. Darnley just clipped Stricklin at the finish. In the low sticks, Sommers, another oller, beat Darnley but had to break the record to do it, traversing the barriers in 25.9 seconds.
