While many neighboring cities are confronted with a serious problem because of the necessity of providing an Outline Survey For Reappraisal Orange County Real Estate to Have Revised Assessment Values An outline of the plan for making a survey of the need of re-appraisement of land in any county, which is being followed by the college of agriculture of the University of California, was described by R. D. Flaherty, executive secretary of the Orange County Farm Bureau, which body has suggested to the board of supervisors that the service of the university be sought in making such a survey in Orange county before any steps are taken along that line. Reappraisement was urged upon the board of supervisors by the grand jury in the report filed in January and the board has been spending some time in considering of the course that should be pursued, there being strenuous objection to such a move in some quarters.

Efforts to solve the Ruiz, a Yorba laborer, bed while walking alo Purchase of the Sugar Factory Wells Insures Adequate Supply for Many Years to Come; Other Cities Searching for Water Bearing Lands and Facing Costly Litigation in Scramble for Much Needed Water. While many neighboring cities are confronted with a serious problem because of the necessity of providing an adequate supply of water for domestic purposes, and disputes between communities which will probably lead to costly and long-draw-out litigation are rife. Anaheim is sitting pretty in this respect and will have no cause to worry over this question for many years to come. The five wells owned by the municipality will yield enough water to supply a city of 40,000 people, consequently the demands on them are practically one-third of their capacity. In money value the water works system of the city is $340,000, according to a survey made in 1929 by the Burns-McDonnell-Smith company. When the council purchased the two wells of the defunct sugar factory in 1927 it completed the most valuable investment ever made by this city. These wells make is absolutely independent so far as domestic water is concerned and it is not necessary for us to join the scramble for water bearing lands outside, to pay an exorbitant price for the land should it be found, and to face the expense of sinking wells and piping the water in. The cost of these wells was very small considering their immense value to the people. The price was only $25,000, and this was paid out of surplus funds saved by an economical administration. It was understood that a representative of a neighboring city declared that his town would gladly have paid $100,000 for these wells, but they are situated inside the city limits of Anaheim. The present water supply comes from five deep wells. Well No. 2—16 in. casing, 339 ft. deep. Well No. 3—16 in. casing, 333 ft. deep. Well No. 4—16 in. casing, 335 ft. deep. These wells are located at the power house on South Los Angeles street, and have a capacity of 1200 gallons each per minute. Well No. 6—24 in. casing first 200 ft., 16 in. casing 437 ft.; total depth, 637 ft. Well No. 7—24 in. casing first 200 ft., 16 in. casing 442 ft.; total depth, 642 ft. These two wells are located in the north end of the city, and have a capacity of 1800 gallons each per minute. With the present arrangement of pumping the city can be supplied with approximately 3800 gallons of water per minute, or 5,000,000 gallons per day. During the year 1929 a total of 472,569,690 gallons were pumped, or a per capita of 108 gallons per day. The record of water levels in the wells shows that it has been going down on an average of four feet per year for the past bureau, which body has suggested to the board of supervisors that the service of the university be sought in making such a survey in Orange county before any steps are taken along that line. Reappraisal was urged upon the board of supervisors by the grand jury in the report filed in January and the board has been spending some time in considering of the course that should be pursued, there being strenuous objection to such a move in some quarters. At the meeting of the supervisors last Tuesday a resolution calling for a survey made by a commission to be appointed by the board was defeated after Farm Bureau officials had called to the attention of the board the work that the University of California was doing along this line in connection with an investigation ordered by the state legislature. A survey is now being made in Alameda county, Flaherty stated, for the purpose of determining whether appraisements are on an equable basis. This survey is being made by the university under the provisions of the act which requires that a report be made to Governor Young before December 1st. It is understood that supervisors of Santa Barbara county are considering the possibility of inviting the commission to take up the work in the county as soon as it is finished in Alameda county. Flaherty pointed out that an immediate investigation by the commission to undertake the work in Orange county probably would result in the work being started here next. Von T. Ellsworth, head of the tax research department of the California Farm Bureau federation, is in charge of the work in the northern county, having been drafted by the university to take charge of this investigation. The survey is being conducted by Ellsworth and a staff of three assistants. In carrying on the work some 15 bona fide sales made during the past two years are selected at random from each of the 99 block books. The actual price paid for each piece is then checked through the title company for the first valuation. Then the owner is asked what he considers the property worth. The third angle as to the value is obtained through an appraisement made by a committee of three real estate men. The three valuations thus obtained are than averaged and the result is compared with the present assessed valuation, after the average valuation is reduced to the percentage on which the assessor works. This gives a basis for determining whether assessed valuations are in line with present values and whether or not re-appraisal would be worth while. Flaherty stated that Alameda county is the first one in which the survey is being made and that the work there probably would be completed by May 1. It is estimated that the survey could be completed in other counties in possibly three months or less, now that the plan has worked out and the organization completed. The work is being financed by an appropriation of $10,000 by the state legislature and by appropriations of large sums by the college of agriculture. Flaherty stated.

His story was by officers, who charged tempting to "cover up" and a quiet investigation on since that time. Several months ago into custody in connex case, but authorities gather enough evidence and he was released from prison being signed again. Just where the crime officers refused to state that they were of them may have happened in on a road, as the victim died. A gruesome angle to the fact that Valencia said to have dug gthe Placenta cemetery Fuller is said to have wanted to aid in digging this angle of the story that the other two men woke him to go along at thhe 16 in. casing 437 ft.; total depth, 637 ft. Well No. 7—24 in. casing first 200 ft. 16 in. casing 442 ft.; total depth, 642 ft. These two wells are located in the north end of the city, and have a capacity of 1800 gallons each per minute. With the present arrangement of pumping the city can be supplied with approximately 3800 gallons of water per minute, or 5,000,000 gallons per day. During the year 1929 a total of 472,569,690 gallons were pumped, or a per capita of 108 gallons per day. The record of water levels in the wells shows that it has been going down on an average of four feet per year for the past ten years. The level now stands at 110 feet below the surface. The city has approximately 51 miles of water mains. During the past year the Water department has laid: 425 feet of 4 inch cast iron pipe; 11712 feet of 6 inch cast iron pipe; 12885 feet of 8 inch cast iron pipe; 3590 feet of 10 inch cast iron pipe; 3590 feet of 10 inch cast iron pipe; 400 feet of 12 inch cast iron pipe. The pipe replaced smaller screw pipe, mostly two inch. Also 50 new fire hydrants have been installed. The new improvement while greatly benefitting the water system, has made a wonderful improvement to the fire system. Several sections of the city that practically had no fire protection are adequately taken care of under this new arrangement. Woman's Relief Corps Holds Regular Meet A. B.

Bandits Relieve Two Officers of Their Artillery Two members of the Orange county fruit patrol were compelled to purchase new guns Monday. They both lost their guns to a darling holdup man who selected a time when the officers were eating their dinner in the Star cafe, Buena Park, to "stick up the place." The officers, Sam Snodgrass and Walter F. Dungan had just seated themselves at the counter and ordered their dinners. Their backs were to the door. Suddenly they heard a command of, "Reach up, boys." There was nothing else for them to do. They reached. The bandit, dressed like a cowboy, calmly helped himself to $35 from the cafe cash register and then relieved Snodgrass and Dungan of their revolvers, according to information given to the sheriff's office. The bandit was armed with a .45 calibre pistol.

Efforts to solve the murder of Ed Ruiz, a Yorza laborer, who was stabbed while walking along the railroad track at Yorba two years ago, proved futile at the time, consequently the case was shunted into the background after a vain search and the abortive attempt to fasten the guilt on two or three suspected persons. However, hope was revived and the case reopened by the presentation last week of a knife to Captain Marcus Andrade of the Anaheim police, which is believed to be the weapon with which Ruiz was killed. It was found at Placentia near the home of one of the men under suspicion and was given to Andrade by a relative of the murdered man. It was turned over to the sherriff's office and another investigation followed. This resulted in the arrest of four men. They are Elsworth R. Fuller, 34, a pruner of Placentia; Martine Valencia, 46, Yorba; Enrique McGee, 70, Yorba, and A. Cruz, 66, Yorba. Fuller and Valencia are in the county jail, and McGee and Cruz are being held in the city jail at Anaheim. All were arrested Saturday night by Robert Sandon and Leo Frils, the latter a deputy district attorney. According to the story told by the man before he died, he was walking along a road, near Yorba, when suddenly four men jumped out from the side of the road and without a word, stabbed him. His story was never believed by officers, who charged him with attempting to "cover up" his assaultants, and a quiet investigation has been going on since that time. Several months ago Fuller was taken into custody in connection with the case, but authorities were unable to gather enough evidence against him and he was released without a complaint being signed against him. Just where the crime was committed, officers refused to state. They did say that they were of the opinion that it may have happened in a house and not on a road, as the victim said before he died. A gruesome angle to the crime is the fact that Valencia and McGee are said to have dug the grave of Ruiz in the Placentia cemetery, after he died. Fuller is said to have told officers he wanted to aid in digging the grave, but this angle of the story, stating that the other two men would not allow him to go along at the time. Poultry Thieves Are Again Active Realty Board To Conduct Classes Meeting This Week Cancelled so Members Could Attend Land Show Between 15 and 20 real estate salesmen in and near Anaheim have signified their intention of taking the eight-leason University of Southern California extension reality course to be given during April and May at the offices of the Howard Reality Company beginning at 7:30 o'clock on the evening of April 1, J. S. Howard, secretary of the Anaheim Realty Board, announced Thursday. The classes will be given by Mrs. Hattle Allen of Buena Park and will prepare the reality salesmen for examinations which must be passed before July 1 in order to meet state law requirements for the profession. Two realtors from Anaheim daily are in attendance at the Land Show being held in Los Angeles. The regular weekly luncheon held on Wednesdays this week was cancelled in order that members of the board could attend the land show to see the products of the soil exhibited from Orange county, in conjunction with exhibits from every other county in the state. Thousands of tourists, Mr. Howard stated, daily are viewing the show and expressing amazement at the varied and plentiful farming products of California. Fathers, Sons Planning Fete Sleight-of-Hand Number on "All Fool's" Night Program Preparations were well under way this week for a father and son's banquet to be held at the Calvary Baptist church, Citron and Broadway, at 6:30 o'clock on "All Fools'" night. Corresponding with the commonly-interrupted meaning of April 1, Merle Waterman, from the Hollywood Y. M. C.

LASTING FOUR DAYS Measurements Here Show a Precipitation for the Season of 9.55; Los Angeles Suburb Experience a Miniature Tornado But Little Damage Was Reported; Water Spout Blows in From Ocean and Bursts Near Santa Ana Tuesday. Fears of a dry season were dissipated last week when a storm spread over Southern California and gave the entire Southland a through drenching. The down pour came gently, but the storm lasted several days, and as a consequence it was all absorbed by the soil, there being practically no run off. Although the measurements of precipitation varied in different sections, the average for Orange county was a little better than three inches. While some points in the county showed a heavier fall than Anaheim, many fell below our figure, and the measurement here may be taken as an average for the entire county. Leo Sheridan reported that the gauge at the office of the Anaheim Union Water Co., showed a precipitation of 3.06 for the storm, bringing the total for the season up to 9.55. While this lacks four inches of being a normal fall, the rain has come so gently throughout the season that the ground absorbed it all. There has been very little water in the rivers, and none of it was carried into the ocean. Last year's fall at this date was considerably less than this. What the money value of this last storm to Anaheim and its contiguous territory is cannot be accurately measured. Farm Advisor Wahlberg recently figured that a five inch rain covering the whole of Orange county had a money value of approximately $2,600.000. These figures applied only to the market price of the water. It did not include the irrigation bills which the ranchers saved, and the benefits derived by unirrigated lands. Some freaks were developed during the progress of the storm. A miniature tornado descended on a suburban section of Los Angeles. Its path was narrow, but it uprooted many trees, demolished some buildings and unroofed houses, but no dead persons were left in its trail. Another spectacular freak was witnessed in Orange county. Roaring in off the ocean and picking up brush and small trees as it progressed inland, a "baby" wateraport broke over the Martin airport south of Santa Ana shortly before noon Tuesday drenching the hangars, planes, pilots and mechanics with thousands of gallons of water. No damage was reported. The twister entered the coastline near Huntington Beach, thrilling residents as it passed over vacant grazing lands and an old river bed. As the swirling funnel of wind and water worked its way inland farmers and motorists watched its progress. For more than eight miles it whirled along without touching any habitation or doing damage other than to rip up an occluded their dinners. Their backs were to the door. Suddenly they heard a command of, "Reach up, boys." There was nothing else for them to do. They reached.

More than 250 chickens, worth over $400, were stolen from two Orange county ranchers Saturday night, according to a report on file at the Sheriff's office. A number of roosters and 197 hens were reported stolen from the place of C. F. Sparks, on Euclid avenue, near the Ball road, and 50 hens, worth $100, were taken from the place of W. G. Carpenter, who resides west of the county hospital, on West Chapman avenue. At the Carpenter ranch, a sack, containing eight chickens, was found Monday morning. Whether the thieves overlooked this sack or whether they were frightened away is not known. The theft of the chickens from the Sparks ranch is the largest single theft of chickens reported here in several months. Three men are believed to have robbed the Sparks roosts, their footprints being found in the soft ground around the coops. According to present prospects the arms conference may last all summer. Well it's an ill wind that blows no one good. There's the London hotel keeper, for example. In time of peace, peace is everybody's business. When war clouds lower, it is nobody's. Sleight-of-Hand Number on "All Fool's" Night Program Preparations were well under way this week for a father and son's banquet to be held at the Calvary Baptist church, Citron and Broadway, at 6:30 o'clock on "All Fools" night.

Mahaffey, with the cooperation of Committeemen Mike Simon, Jack Meldrum, Frank Sidner, and Ralph Baker. Additional numbers on the program will be announced next week, while reservations for the banquet already are being received, Mr. Mahaffey stated. Favor Restriction on Fillipino Entry The Daughters of the American Revolution/ California State federation went on record last week in favor of restricting immigration from the Philippine islands on the same basis governing other nations. A resolution to this effect was adopted at the annual state convention held in San Diego, the first session called to order Wednesday morning by the regent, Mrs. Theodore Hoover. Acting as page for Mrs. Hoover throughout the convention was Miss Mary Easton of Anaheim. Others attending from this city were Mrs. J. S. Sheridan, Miss Mary McLure and Mrs. Honor Easton, who reported for the Anaheim chapter and told of the interesting achievement in reconditioning the pioneer house. Reports were made by the heads of the 20 departments in the state federation. Indian welfare, better motion pictures and Americanization work were among the departments with specially interesting reports. Officers for the coming year were elected and Mrs. F. P. Tomis of Pasadena is the new state regent. Mrs. Hoover was nominated for the post of general national vice president, the nomination to come up for confirmation at Washington in April. Staley is Member of Fullerton Board Arthur Staley, whose home is on Placentia avenue, announced himself on March 7 as a candidate for member of the Fullerton high school board, has been appointed by county superintendent of schools, R. P. Mitchell to a seat made vacant by the death of Winthrop Bowen. The legal advertising of the election calls for the election of three trustees to fill two expired terms, those of Hartranft and E. F. Bloodgood, and the unexpired term of Bowen. The state district attorney has ruled that only the expired terms can be filled by election, the county superintendent being required to fill the other vacancy by appointment. Mr. Staley, the new trustee, is secretary-manager of the Fullerton-Placentia Walnut association and makes his home on a ranch on Placentia avenue. He has the distinction of being one of the two members of the high school's first graduating class, the class of '96. Mrs. E.

E. E. Smith and C. C. Reinert will be Retained as Members of the High School Board. Apparently the people of the various school districts composing the Anaheim Union School district are well satisfied with the manner in which the schools Fitts Is Visiting Anaheim Today The first invasion of Orange county by a candidate for governor is being made today by Buron Fitts, in an informal fashion. Fitts, it was learned, will confer with friends in the interests of his candidacy and it is anticipated that committees will be organized following his visit. The schedule of his trip in the county starts with his arrival in Santa Ana at 10:30 a.m. and a visit with officials in the county courthouse. He will be a guest of the Rotary club in Orange at noon, going from there to Anaheim, at 2:30. Following his visit to Fullerton, where he is scheduled to arrive at 3:30, he will return to Santa Ana. There will be a conference with friends of the candidate from all over the county at a dinner in Ketner's cafe at 6:30 tonight, at which time it is expected that organization plans for the county will be outlined and committees selected. The visit is purely of an informal nature and will be made at the request of Orange county friends of the Los Angeles county district attorney. Organization plans are expected to be announced in the near future. Leaving Soon on Tour of the World Dr. Wm. M. Chambers, his wife, and daughter, Miss Amanda, leave on the 26th on a tour around the world. They will sail from San Pedro on the liner Asa Maru. Their first stops will be made in Japan and China, and at Hong Kong they transfer to a North German Lloyd steamer for Ceylon. After a short stop in the island of Ceylon they jump to Egypt where they will view the wonders of the land of the Pharaohs. All the principal countries of Europe will be toured by them, and on the 26th of July they expect to sail for home from Le Havre, France. On the homeward trip they pass through the Panama canal, and expect to disembark at the port from whence they started. No Contest in Either of the Eight Elementary Districts Composing the Anaheim High School District. E. E. Smith and C. C. Reinert will be Retained as Members of the High School Board. Apparently the people of the various school districts composing the Anaheim Union School district are well satisfied with the manner in which the schools are being conducted. The annual election to fill the vacancy caused by the expiration of the term on each of the elementary boards will be held on Friday, March 28, and in everyone of the eight districts outgoing member will be returned without opposition. This also applies to the high school board. The retiring members are E. E. Smith and C. C. Reinert. They will have no opposition as the date for filing nomination papers expired Tuesday night. The hold over members are Dr. J. W. Harpster, president of the board, George S. Baker and Henry Rammn. In the Anaheim Grammar School district H. W. Lewis, whose term expires, will be reelected, as no man appeared to contest title to the seat with him. The other members are Frank N. Gibbs, president, and Miss E. Kate Rea, clerk. The board will remain the same for another year. Over at Katella George Vandenberg is the trustee whose term expires, but he will be returned to the seat without opposition as no other candidate has filed nomination papers. Cyril Hanna, president, and Thomas Haster, clerk, are the two other members. In the Cypress district W. C. Miller, the clerk, is supposed to retire but he won't, as nobody challenged him for a contest, and he will poll all the votes. The holdover members are G. G. Pridy and Sam Miller. At Centralia the outgoing member is Walter Knott. He is again on the ticket without opposition and the board will be unchanged. The other two members are F. J. Coughran and William Abplanalp. In the Loara district, J. E. Stewart, the clerk, will also be returned without a dissenting vote. C. C. Bogle and Rudolph Schwartzbaugh are the holdovers. It appears from this that patrons of the schools are well satisfied with conditions as they are and have no grievances. There probably will be a few scattering votes thrown away on write-in candidates, but an extremely light vote is anticipated in every district. Baby Hurt When Machines Collide Sunday's rain netted Anaheim its usual number of minor auto accidents, consisting of a few dented fenders and twisted bumpers. Only one accident carried an injury report. The baby of Mr. and Mrs. O. Vaughn, Los Angeles, was thrown through the windshield of their sedan when the car, driven by Mrs. E. Barp Buys Model Delicatessen Mrs. E. Barp, owner of a store in Santa Ana, last Saturday took possession of the Model Delicatessen, 151 East Center street, following purchase a few days before from Mrs. K.
