Select Location For the Weir Dam At a conference between Francis Cuttle, President of the Water Conservation Association, Paul Bailey, Engineer employed by the Association, and W. W. Hoy, Geo. S. Hinckley and R. D. Skelley, Consulting Engineers, held at the mouth of the Santa Ana canyon, a definite location was selected off a weir to be built across the canyon. It will be just above the Southern California Edison Power house. The length will be 470 feet; it will require a pipe line of approximately 700 feet in length and 7 feet in diameter to carry 50,000 inches, or 1,000 second feet, of water from the weir to the spreading grounds now being used by the Water Conservation Association. Mr. Bailey is now working on the design of weir that will be best suited for the duty required, and also on the intake and headgate. Another conference will be held in the near future when these matters will have consideration. All were much relieved by the report of Mr. Bailey to the effect that it would not be necessary to tunnel through the mountain in order to take water from the weir to the spreading grounds, and the short distance that it would be necessary to pipe the same. The Water Conservation Association is now spreading several thousand inches of water, which is clear enough so that no damage will be done in silt-ing up the gravels.

NAME: ADDRESS: ANAHEIM GAZETTE Double Shifts For Schools Increased Hours of Study Less Need for New Buildings Instead of building new grammar schools in California when facilities become overcrowded, use the same school for a double shift of students each day. An entirely new idea in solving the problem of increasing attendance in schools has been proposed by State Controller Ray L. Riley. It contemplates shortening the school day for students and increasing it for teachers. "No private business could exist by using its expensive equipment as short a time each year as we use our school houses," Riley said. "Orange county has a capital outlay in its grammar schools of $5,180,832, representing land, improvements, building and equipment. This investment is used for approximately 200 days each year, seven hours a day." "Then when we have more pupils come into a district, instead of doubling up and using the same investment for instructing them, we invest another large sum in capital outlay for their use. Imagine a business concern trying to get along by working their plant seven hours a day, 200 days in the year, and then building a new plant when business increases." "It is absurd. The directors would find themselves bankrupt if they did not utilize their original facilities for longer hours, in place of building an entirely new factory for increased production." Riley contends that his plan is not only feasible, but a fact toward which California must progress. "The taxpayers complain at the huge sum they must pay each year for schools. We are searching frantically for new sources of revenue. It would be better for us to turn our energies to devising means of making the present revenue do more work." "The objection has been raised that the hours would be too long for teachers and too short for proper instruction of pupils." By starting school at $5 in the morning, Cost of Growing Oranges in County Farm Advisor Wahlberg Tells Results of His Investigations The cost accounting division of the Citrus Growers department of the Orange County Farm Bureau at the fourth annual meeting held at the high school auditorium in Anaheim Thursday night heard an address by Harold E. Wahlberg, county farm advisor, on the important subject of the cost of orange production in this county. Wahlberg presented figures compiled by the agricultural extension service of the University of California in cooperation with citrus growers' department of the farm bureau. Figures presented by the adviser represented 722 acres of orange orchards in this county. Although the 722 acres comprise only a small percentage of land planted in orange trees they represent a cross section of the county which authorities say, gives statisticians adequate material with which to work out a survey. According to the summary, the total average income per acre during the past four years was $582.35. The 1929 average income per acre was $521.99. The average expense per acre for the last four years was $398.08 and for 1929 was $412.42. Last year's figure was larger, it was said, because of a heavier crop. The average profit per acre during the four-year period was $184.29, while the average profit per acre in 1929 was $109.57. Figures presented in the foregoing include capital investment and interest, depreciation, cultivation cost, disease control and the like. Wahlberg reported that the average profit per box of oranges produced during the four-year period was 95 cents and for 1929 40 cents. Total average expense per box during the four years was $2.10 and in 1929, $150. Total average income per box during the four years was $3.05, and in 1929, $1.90. The average size of farms in the 722 acres was given as 11.1 acres. A New York woman is awarded $500,000 for the alienation of her husband's affections. Girls wouldn't it be gorgeous to have a husband whose affections were worth that much? Riley contends that his plan is not only feasible, but a fact toward which California must progress. "The taxpayers complain at the huge sum they must pay each year for schools. We are searching frantically for new sources of revenue. It would be better for us to turn our energies to devising means of making the present revenue do more work. "The objection has been raised that the hours would be too long for teachers and too short for proper instruction of pupils. "By starting school at 8 in the morning and continuing until 5 in the afternoon, two shifts of pupils could receive four hours instruction a day. By a very slight lengthening of the school year and a more intensive training, the same amount of work could be covered. "The teachers' salaries could be increased and their hours arranged so they would not have to teach continuously. That item of expense would be slight compared to the cost of building new schools." Speaking of slumps, the New York legislature is passing fewer laws than usual this year, so you see every cloud has a silver lining. Sidney Franklin, a matador hailing from Brooklyn, is in Spain and killed four bulls in an exhibition fight there the other day. Wonder if he is the guy who was operating in the stock market last October? Lincoln's Assassination The revival of "Our American Cousin" at the Pasadena Community Playhouse has recently brought to light the two surviving eye-witnesses of the assassination of President Lincoln. Both aged men are now living in Los Angeles and have been guests of the Pasadena little theater during its production of the same Anglo-American comedy which was running in Ford's theater, Washington, D.C., on the night of April 14, 1865, when the Great Emancipator was shot by John Wilkes Booth. Despite their age, both are still active in public life. Comrade Hazleton, who was program boy at the theater, handed President and Mrs. Lincoln their programs as they entered the house on the tragic night. He now speaks over the radio daily, while "Dad" Richards is on the staff of the Better American Federation and is one of its speakers. Built for Comfort Just sit in a "Caterpillar" seat for a day's work and you will know why a "Caterpillar" driver is not tired out at night. So spoke W. J. Fitschen, prominent orchardist of Orange and Irvine California. With more than a million tractor drivers on the job, the demand for comfort on the part of operators of American tractors was worth heading, thought the engineers of the "Caterpillar" Tractor Co. Therefore, this scientifically built seat that reflects the rebound of more than a million drivers of tractors over the past sixty years up to the present cushioned seat of power for the worker. Ask the man who drives a "Caterpillar." Popular to Own Home The "Own your own home" slogan is becoming increasingly popular in California. It was reported here this week by Charles A.

It was reported here this week by Charles A. Whitmore, state building and loan commissioner, who said that assets of associations doing business in California on January 1 amounted to nearly a half million dollars. "This figure," said Whitmore, represents an increase of 23.47 per cent over 1928. During the same period funds invested in shares and certificates reached a total of $354,536,343, a sum 7.06 per cent greater than the highest figure for 1928. Coolidge must be pretty popular in California at that. Every auto license tag we see from the great Pacific state has "Cal." printed on it. The perestrian has the right of way only after the ambulance picks him up. Notice is hereby given that the undersigned has no interest in any oil lease on the Forester property in San Juan Capistrano, Orange County, California, nor in the operation thereof, and that he has sold his interest in all oil rigs, derricks and machinery located on the Forester lease in San Juan Capistrano in said Orange County, California.
