K. CENTER Fight Between Lakeman and Bouldin Stopped Young Studies Water Problems Governor C. C. Young's summary of Southern California's problems in his speech before the pre-convention meeting of the 20-30 club last Saturday evening was being gone over this week by residents of this district, with a view of sifting their content preparatory to going to the polls on August 26 to choose a republican gubernatorial candidate. The state's administrative chieftain stayed away from politics as best he could, confining his talk mainly to the survey now underway by the state engineer's office relative to water needs of the Southland. The survey so far shows that the future needs of water in Southern California will be tremendous, and that water from the Boulder Dam project, relieving present domestic water for irrigation purposes, will not suffice to meet all the demands. "I am tremendously proud of the part I have had in the plans for the development of Boulder canyon," Governor Young said. "I do not want the people of this section to look too hopefully upon the development of this project for early relief from their water shortage. It will take ten or a dozen years to bring this water to Southern California." Delegates to the 20-30 pre-convention meeting here decided to back San Diego in seeking the 1931 convention of the organization. Among those attending were representatives from San Diego, National City, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Uplands, Riverside, San Bernardino, Victorville, Ontario, Riverside and Barstow. Meeting preparations were in charge of Clinton A. Griggs. Jack Gledhill, president of the local club presented presidents of other clubs. The dinner at the Elks clubhouse was attended by 200 persons.

Washington last week, according to a postcard received from him after his arrival in the northwest. The average was figured on actual driving time. DuBois, accompanied by Miss Helen West and Miss Josephine Lopez, drove the first 1,000 miles in the first 24 hours, leaving Anaheim Saturday at 1 o'clock and arriving at Olympia at 8 VERBAL WAR ENLIVENS COUNT MEET; O. K. CENTER Fight Between Lakeman and Bouldin Stopped By City Trustees; Award Gasoline Bid; Costs of Bookkeeping Recommendation St Climaxed by verbal fireworks between Councilman J. Chief of Police James Bouldin over charges hurled at a city trustee Tuesday evening authorized procedure of lw widening of West Center street and Lincoln avenue, cont of about 24,000 gallons of gasoline to be used during the c bids on a big wiring job, and approved reports of receipts and expenditures for the month of July. On motion of Councilman M. W. Martenet Jr., seconded by Councilman Fred Koesel the council halted the eleventh-hour verbal war that was the outgrowth of the previous meeting when Lakeman attacked Bouldin, charging inefficiency. Tuesday night Lakeman read questions from a prepared list to which Chief Bouldin took exception on the ground that they were incomplete and didn't give the background which led to the clash. Makes Charges As developed at the meeting, Lakeman originally made the statement that Bouldin "hands were tied." This led to a challenge of this statement and the appearance of Bouldin before the trusfees two weeks ago. Lakeman added that he could "get a gallon of liquor within two blocks of the city hall" in his charge against Bouldin. The latter brought up a complaint for Lakeman to sign so that the police could raid the place, and Lakeman refused to sign. After an exchange of epithets, Lakeman prepared the list of questions read at the meeting Tuesday evening. Bouldin reiterated his statements, but to Lakeman's charge that the police chief threatened to throw him out of the window, Bouldin replied and was backed up by other counselman on the statement that he had said Lakeman "ought to be thrown out of the window." Sign for Improvement Martenet stated that "under the circumstances Chief Bouldin had the right to call Lakeman any names he (Bouldin) wanted to," and moved that the discussion be halted as irrelevant. Previous to this verbal exchange the trustees accepted the bid of the Home Oil company to supply the city 24,000 gallons of gasoline during the coming year. Half dozen companies bid for the contract.

Only two per cent of the taxes, which total $6,000,000, hasn't been collected, according to the report of County Tax Collector J. C. Lamb. This is the smallest delinquent tax list in the state. Collector Lamb has taken in $6,167,-417.61 out of the $6,305,683.25 in taxes charged to him for collection. This means that only $138,265.64 is yet to be entered on the tax books, and that Orange county for another year heads the list of counties for small delinquency lists.

M. Backs. Receipts for the month totalled $34,373.65, leaving a balance in the city treasury of $112,833.99, according to the report of City Clerk E. B. Merritt.

This move was taken after City Clerk Merrick pointed out that the state law tells him exactly how his books shall be kept for a city of the sixth class. Appearance of Mr. Barlett, making a proposition by which he would acquire property owned by the city at the corner of Los Angeles and Lemon streets in exchange for paying half cost of development of Lemon street, and giving the city a necessary strip of property for the future widening of Los Angeles street, brought this problem to the fore. Councilmen considered the proposition and held it over for discussion. Similarity May Confuse Voters When you see the "(1)" before his name, you'll know you are voting for State Treasurer Charles G. Johnson. Placing of Augustus J. Johnson, Los Angeles negro seeking the Republican nomination for state treasurer against the incumbent, may confuse voters by the similarity names. Both men are known to their friends as "Gus" Johnson. These statements were made this week by the Charles G. Johnson-for-Treasurer Committee. A statewide campaign to inform voters of this confusion was announced by b ythe committee. "We have no quarrel with Augustus Johnson because he is a colored man," said the committee.

The fair opens on August 30 and will continue for nine days. In addition to the eleven large exposition buildings, four mammoth tents will be required to accommodate the various departments of the exposition, it was stated today by R. A. Condee, president. Two of the biggest structures will be given over to the most remarkable display of products and resources ever assembled on the Pacific slope. One of these, the horticultural pavilion, will house the exhibits of 53 California counties. The exhibits, now being installed, are the most attractive in the history of the state fair. The other big structure designated as the Western States building, will contain the displays of the states of Idaho, Oregon, New Mexico and Nevada; a special exhibit by the Southern Oregon and northern California counties, and booths featuring products of Argentina, Brazil and several other South American counties. The livestock, educational, machinery, and ether departments of the exposition will be greater and more impressive than ever before.

ZETTE Sixty Years of Progress GROWING WITH ANAHEIM SINCE 1870 THE GAZETTE 108 N. EMILY Editorial FOR NEXT GOVERNOR—ROLPH James P. Rolph Jr., for twenty years the guiding San Francisco's governmental welfare and the most citizen in California today, by keeping out of personal the other two candidates and devoting his attention of the whole state, has proven that his interests lie in Northern California, but in Southern California as he may have lived in the northern part of the state the activities of Mayor Rolph as shown in the last two orough political stumping, have proven that his is a whole state, and not a representative of just one qualification" of the other two candidates. About the state citizens, tired of the hammer-and-tongs District Attorney Buron Fitts and Governor C. C. turned to Mayor Rolph, who has shown two remarkof strength: He is the candidate of the business also is the candidate of the laboring man. Throughout his leadership in San Francisco, Mayor not only promoted business to the fullest extent, as the success of business in the Bay districts, but he also friend of the laboring man. To meet the exigences session this spring, Mayor Rolph released funds availcity treasury, for city construction work, thereby financial channels of the city going at reasonable keeping the laboring man employed. In contrast to have our present governor "sitting tight" with many dollars surplus in the state treasury, afraid to move per some of his constituents, and incidentally, furnish unemployed with work. It is at such times as in the then real leadership comes to the fore. In Governor have a hesitant leader who doesn't act to relieve conditrict Attorney Fitts we have an experienced youth POLITICAL POT BOILS AS BIG VOTE NEARS Ten Days Remain Before 48,000 Orange County Voters Express Perference at Polls Orange county's political pot is boiling. But ten days remain before voters go to the polls to express a preference for state governor, heutenant-governor, state comptroller, and the great majority of offices for the county, enlivened by eight candidates for sheriff. The battle for republican nomination for state governor, which practically amounts to election, is a "natural," speaking in prize fight parlance. And the battle waging between Governor C. C. Young and District Attorney Euron Fitts is attracting considerable attention, while Mayor James Rolph Jr. of San Francisco is using political expediency in avoiding the scraps and centering his campaign as a representative of the whole state. Last minute developments indicate that Young's chances for re-nomination have slipped considerably in the past six weeks, and that Rolph's opportunity to poll a greater vote than Fitts seems greater. MUSIC CIVIC BILL WOMEN'S SKIRTS WILL BE LONGER Miss Mary Millerick Gives Observations on Style Following Return from New York Women's clothing styles for fall and winter will feature longer skirts and medium waist lines, while women's coats will be marked by a basket weave fabric, some stressing coffee-dyedermine fur, although there are many fabrics to choose from. Delightful feminine lines of the summer dresses will be retained. These are the observations of Miss Mary Millerick, who owns and operates a store on East Center street, following her return Sunday from New York, where she viewed all the style shows and made fall and winter purchases. Miss Millerick left early in July. "The styles retain all the feminine features of recent modes, even excentuating them with the longer skirts and the higher waists," she stated. "Of course, there is a great variety of material to choose from, but, as usual, the stylish, simple dress with cleverly-worked out trimmings in harmonizing colors getting the most attention." Battle Wages Other state offices are not attracting a great deal of attention, since there doesn't seem to be a popular hue and cry for a certain candidate that has marked previous elections. Back to Orange county, however, citizens must turn to see the real political battle. Eight candidates for cheriff, including the incumbent, indicate a hot fight. All of the candidates have been greeting representative citizens in every section of the county, and political leaders for each candidate are frank to admit that their favorite stands "very high in public esteem" but that nobody knows which way the citizens' mind will turn in the morning of August 26. Sheriff Sam Jernigan, and candidates Ralph McFadden, James Pearson, Big Bill Sylvester, and Logan Jackson appear to have centered their campaign in northern Orange county. Every one of the candidates for sheriff, however, expects to qualify. Backs Unopposed County Clerk J. M. Backs undoubtedly will poll the largest vote in the county. Running unopposed, he nevertheless is receiving favorable comment all over the county for his business-like manner of handling his office. The last time County Clerk Backs was opposed at the primaries he carried every precinct in the county, even the opposition candidate's own precinct. Considerable interest attends the contest between Candidates Joplin, Abbey and Trago for county treasurer; Candidates Jerome and Lambert for auditor; Candidates Sleeper and Montgomery for assessor; and Candidates Sam Collins, Westover and Wettlin, for district attorney. Sample ballots, with instructions to voters, will be mailed to voters of the county Saturday by County Clerk Backs. In round numbers there are 48,000 registered voters for the primary election on August 26; 15,000 in the third district, which comprises Anaheim, Fullerton, Buena Park, Cypress, Brea, La Habra, Placentia, Yorba Linda, and other areas in northern Orange county; and 4,400 registered voters in Anaheim. Of the five districts, the third is the largest.
