"Why," said Mr. Lensing, who has been in some form of Anaheim city service for nearly 30 years, "this park isn't a local affair at all. The registration this year shows visitors from every state in the Union." Picnic suppers by Sunday school classes and social clubs, who have been making use of the park's facilities have been one of the features of the summer just past. Under a pavilion are six gas stoves, each with three burners, and six porcelain sinks with water faucets, make it possible to do considerable cooking and serving of warm foods for suppers. Anaheim's municipal park is now one of the city's show places. It was established eight years ago and all of the blooming flowers and shrubs have been grown in the last six years under the supervision of Superintendent Rudolph Boyson. A feature of the gardens is a plot given to many variety of cactus obtained from the deserts of California and Arizona. Two Fox Theatres In Transformation Picture Houses in Anaheim and Fullerton Being Elaborately Refitted for Opening Oct. 4 With less than ten days to go in order to complete the elaborate installations and reconstruction improvements which will transform both the Fox theatre in Anaheim and the Fox theatre in Fullerton, into two of the most modern as well as splendidly equipped sound playhouses on the Pacific coast, activities have been at fever pitch. Day and night, swarms of picked construction and electrical experts have been engaged in installing and re-building the multitude of intricate new devices and decorative features, and those who will be among the fortunate ones who visit thesetheatres on Saturday, October 4th—the gala opening day designed—will be surprised at the changes which have taken place during the past fortnight. The Fox Theatre in Fullerton which is now name of the Mission theatre there, is being practically re-built inside and out. The immense forecourt, with its new box office flush on the sidewalk line, in the center, blazing neon lights and illuminated features beckoning to amusement seekers, elaborate new furnishings throughout the interior, are but a few of the many new features which will greet theatregoers on the opening night. City Tax Rate Fixed at The City Council at its Tuesday night fixed the proper Anaheim at 51½ cents on which with taxes for meeting on the electric light bring the total tax to $1.255 stood a year ago.

Robbie Anderson was leader of the meeting and Leland Green was song leader, with Mrs. Hattie Hodkins at the piano. Margaret Schneider gave a report on a meeting of the executive board which was held Saturday at the Orange Presbyterian church. The shield for the largest attendance at the rally was awarded to the Orange Avenue Christian Church of Santa Ana. Miss Dorothy Abbott, president of the Orange county organization, has been attending the world conference of the Christian Endeavor in Berlin, from which she will return here on Oct. 2 and a reception in her honor will be given by the county union upon her arrival. The Fox Theatre in Fullerton which is the new name of the Mission theatre there, is being practically re-built inside and out. The immense forecourt, with its new box office flush on the sidewalk line, in the center, blazing neon lights and illuminated features beckoning to amusement seekers, elaborate new furnishings throughout the interior, are a few of the many new features which will greet theatregoers on the opening night. The entire interiors of both the剧院s are being re-constructed with acoustone, an entirely new scientific material that enhances the value of sound fully forty per cent, and of which there are few theatres in the country thus equipped at the present time. An enormous screen, magnascope, presenting a motion picture fully 100 per cent larger in every way than the present type screens, thus creating the stereoscopic illusion so desired in entertainment of this nature, and expensive as well as delicate equipment that must necessarily be installed to present this kind of picture visibility, are some of the more important ideas which will be practically realized in the two playhouses. Gala opening festivities have been planned for the Saturday openings, and it is predicted that the largest crowds ever to participate in events of this nature will attend both the剧院s. More Money Coming To Walnut Growers Walter Ross, manager of the Anaheim Walnut Growers' Association, says that within the next two weeks about $42,000 will be distributed among members as final settlement on last year's crop, making a total of $300,000 they have received. It will include a $30,000 pool settlement. Mr. Ross said, and a final settlement of $12,000 on culls, to be made by Oct. 10. The cull payment comes from the crackling plant in Los Angeles, he said, making a total of $25,000 returned to growers in the Anaheim district for walnuts sold through the use of the crackling plant. Walnuts are now falling and most of the local growers are gathering them. It is expected that 450 tons of nuts will be harvested this season. Sacks are now available to growers at the packing house. Mr. Ross said, and nuts from the groves are expected there by the last of this week.

It will be a meeting that has been called by the California State Chamber of Commerce of its publicity committee and the committee on publication of the California Newspaper Publishers Association, and the Anaheim Chamber will be represented by Harry C. Arthur, Fred Robins and Ted Kuchel, all of them members of its publicity committee. George W. Reid, secretary, will also attend. "When the various publicity forces of California begin spreading the word of the magnitude of the Fiesta and its meaning to all the state, it is going to quicken active interest everywhere," said Mr. Reid. "It is going to be more than an affair of state interest. It will spread over all the United States and it is expected that next year California will have the greatest inflow of visitors of any year in its history. Standard Oil Men Continue on Rolls Harry Davis, efficiency man of the Standard Oil Co. in the La Habra district, announces that a plan is now being worked out by which the company expects to retain all of its present employees on the payroll. The announcement dispels the rumors which have been going about that many men would either be laid off or cut to half time. It is the intention, said Mr. Davis, to keep the present force employed and not disrupt the organization, giving each man five days' work and two days' lay-off, except in the case of employees who have been on the payroll less than a year. These may have to take a little larger cut in their time for a while. At present the employees work six days and get seven days' pay. Whether the new plan will mean a cut in pay of one day or two does not seem to be understood. It was stated that the new plan probably would go into effect soon, and is already in effect in Northern at midnight of that day, bringing to a close months of construction work which has involved the expenditure of approximately $525,000. The Anaheim project, including the construction of a building at 217 North Lemon street, the installation of central office and long distance equipment, and the installation of more than 17 miles of telephone cable, has required a total expenditure of $485,000, according to A. L. Bartlett, manager of the Southern California Telephone Company. Besides being the center to which approximately 2750 Anaheim telephones will be connected, the new building will house dial equipment for inter-exchange service between Anaheim, Brea, Buena Park, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Newport Beach, Orange, Placentia, Santa Ana, and Whittier, and long distance equipment to handle calls to and from Anaheim, Brea, Buna Park, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Orange, and Placentia. Long distance calls to and from Dana Point, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano will go through the Santa Ana long distance office. The Orange county long distance system will provide direct and quick service among the various Orange county exchanges. For instances by dialing a code a Brea operator can obtain direct connection with the Santa Ana operator, instead of going through several offices, as is done at present. The entire staff of 31 Anaheim operators has been going through a period of training so they will be familiar with handling all long distance calls. The two story building on Lemon street, erected at an estimated expenditure of $137,000, is a worthy addition to the architecture of the community, being of Spanish design 6n harmony with surrounding buildings. It is of concrete construction with a steel frame, and has a stucco exterior and a roof of large mission tile. The first floor of the building has the vestibule, with a title floor and public telephone booth. This leads to the business office, an attractive room, 40 feet by 30 feet. The business office has a groined ceiling and a linoleum floor with a marble base. The remainder of the first floor is taken up by the aparatus room where the local dial central office equipment has been installed. On the second floor is the operating room in which the long distance switchboards have been placed. Here also are located the rest room, locker room,and quiet room;the dining room and kitchen;and office space.The basement has the heating room,the ticket distributing room,sorterooms,the battery room,and cable vault. More than $265,000 has been expended for local central office equipment and long distance equipment,and outside plant construction amounting to approximately $3,000.About nine miles of cable was installed throughout the exchange at an estimated expense of $40,000.Moneil of this cable placed underground contains 3,635 wires and is of a new type recently per- by embe der dam ORANE IS N Demand I Entire C Is The press Valencia through th C.King.o California The quanti listed duri strong cons "The quai ing in Cali supplies o October -5, sales maup of all frie both whol start of th "Indicative California P pleking car prieses a ally fine q Due to co East and M plies of Ca there has b the past acco ting t manager.

The indebtedness on the light plant is for construction and extensions which have been made; for fire equipment, public library, city park, city hall, water street improvements. The council authorized the purchase of 6,000 pounds of chlorine gas in one container, to be taken as needed during the year, the purchase being made from the McKeeson-Western Drug Co. Lease to the U.S. Industrial Alcohol Co. of a plot of ground for a year authorized, the ground to be used in a chlorine station. Resolution was passed to improve a width of 24 feet in the center of North Street, between Center and La Ana Avenue. The council gave a vote of thanks to Baseball Commission for the efficient conduct of games at the City Park during the summer. The commission is composed of Conrad Jongewaard, Leo Baldan, David Morris, Charles Pearl, Evan Alsip, Joseph Elliott and W. Newhard. Similar expression of thanks was on the City Park Entertainment committee, composed of Dr. Walter Ham, Mrs. Henry Adams, Louis Luzz and Mrs. Albert Launer. Bull Bush Badley Opens Dress Shop Bull Bush Badley, who was reared in Anaheim and educated in local schools, leaving the city for several years, opened the La Jean Dress Shop on 111 East Center street. The shop is owned exclusively to women's dresses, dated last Saturday. Mr. Badley went to the Anaheim high school and has been well painted in this district.

Center School Begins With 303 Enrollment Center school, with an enrollment of 303, is now in its second week, with V. O. Elliott as principal and a staff of eleven teachers. A new feature is a safety committee, which is now being organized, the purpose of which will be to see children safely across the streets and to supervise the play grounds. The committee will be made up of 22 members, or two from each room. The children from each of the eleven rooms will take turns in keeping the play grounds clean during the school year. The children working under the direction of the teachers. Mr. Elliott is now in his second year as principal of Center School. He holds degrees from the State Teachers Normal of North Dakota and from the University of Southern California. Episcopal Choir Association The Choir Association of St. Michael's Spiscal Church will meet on Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock, at the Parish House. There will be a re-organization meeting and practice followed by a social time at the rectory. All interested in the study of Anglican music are invited to attend. It is the intention, said Mr. Davis, to keep the present force employed and not disrupt the organization, giving each man five days' work and two days' lay-off, except in the case of employees who have been on the payroll less than a year. These may have to take a little larger cut in their time for a while. At present the employees work six days and get seven days' pay. Whether the new plan will mean a cut in pay of one day or two does not seem to be understood. It was stated that the new plan probably would go into effect soon, and is already in effect in Northern California. It will affect all workers in this locality, at Santa Fe Springs and Huntington Beach. The plan is not original with the Standard, in fact it is already in effect with some other concerns and seems to be an idea generally adopted by the oil companies throughout the state. It is stated that some local people who work for other concerns have been on the five-day basis the past few weeks. However, since most oil employees living in La Habra work for the Standard it adoption by them will be of most importance. August Figures of Outfall Sewer Maintenance Engineer O. E. Stewart has filed with City Clerk Merritt his report for August on the movement of sewage through the joint outfall sewer, the figures in gallons being as follows: Anaheim 19,388,700 Fullerton 23,669,182 Orange 17,130,000 Garden Grove 5,068,223 Placentia 3,040,900 La Habra 6,679,800 Buena Park 2,782,500 Waste Water 11,687,000 Total Sewage 89,446,305 The total expense at the screening plant and pumping station for August was $951,79. Dr. Nelson Moves Into New Offices Dr. Homer A. Nelson, who has had offices at 185 West Center街 for several years, this week was settled in on Lemon street from his old location. His new address is 114 North Lemon. More than $265,000 has been expended for local central office equipment and long distance equipment, and outside plant construction amounting to approximately $83,000. About nine miles of cable was installed throughout the exchange at an estimated expense of $40,000. One mile of this cable, placed underground, contains 3,636 wires and is of a new type recently perfected which makes it possible for 1,800 people to lift their telephone receivers, call 1,800 numbers, and simultaneously carry on 1,800 conservations through one section of the cable. The unusual feature of the new cable is that its thickness of three inches is no greater than the 1200 wire-cable previously used. For improving the appearance of Center Street approximately three miles of cable, more than one mile of which is underground, was installed at an estimated expense of $17,000. Also for increasing and improving facilities between Anaheim and Garden Grove, nearly six miles of cable was installed at an approximate expenditure of $26,000.

ORANGE CLEAN-UP IS NOW IN SIGHT Demand Is Widespread Over the Entire Country, While Supply Is Growing Smaller CHAMBER ACTIVE ON NEW ROAD TO OGEAN Chambers of Commerce Along Route From Anaheim to Redondo Beach Are at Work Progress is being made on the highway project which will give Anaheim a boulevard connection with the Pacific shore at Redondo Beach, a route almost as straight as an arrow would fly between the two points. The road is to be 100 feet wide and approximately 30 miles long, and it promises to be one of the finest motor routes in Southern California. The road is in Anaheim known as the La Palma avenue project, extending from Rio Vista street westerly to the county line. From the Orange county line to the San Gabriel river, a distance of about one mile, it is in line with the Orange county portion. On the west side of the San Gabriel river the route joins to the north slightly to meet the south lines of several roads and then ORANGE CLEAN-UP IS NOW IN SIGHT Demand Is Widespread Over the Entire Country, While Supply Is Growing Smaller The present market on California Valencia oranges continues strong through the United States, says Dana C. King, orange sales manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. The quantity of fruit remaining to be shipped is considerably below the average of previous seasons at the same date. "The demand that has existed and the prices realized on Valencias have been particularly outstanding as compared to prices on other varieties of fruit during the summer months," stated Mr. King. "This healthy orange market condition which has existed during this time indicates the strong consumer interest in oranges." "The quantity of Valencias remaining in California indicates very light supplies available for shipment after October -5," continued the Sunkist sales manager. "This will insure cleanup of all fruit in the hands of the trade, both wholesale and retail, before the start of the new Navel crop." "Indications are that the central California Navel crop will be ready for picking early in November and the crop promises a good volume of exceptionally fine quality," concluded Mr. King. Due to colder weather throughout the East and Middle West and liberal supplies of California and foreign lemons, there has been a heavy decline during the past month in the lemon market, according to T. H. Powell, lemon sales manager. During August and the first week in September more California lemons have been sold each week than were shipped during those periods. These heavy sales of California lemons brought about a considerable reduction in the number of cars en route, and the surplus supply has now been cleaned up. The picks for the month of September have been greater than for any previous year for that month and about 85 per cent above the average of the past five years. "The strong market early in August made foreign shippers optimistic and brought heavy shipments for foreign lemons to the United States," said Mr. Powell. "During the past few weeks the losses sustained on this fruit averaged around $2.00 a box and much of the fruit had to be withdrawn from the sales. This ought to reduce foreign competition during the balance of the year, allowing increased shipments of California lemons during that period." W. B. Gelssinger, advertising manager of the Exchange says with regard as straight as an arrow would fly between the two points. The road is to be 100 feet wide and approximately 30 miles long, and it promises to be one of the finest motor routes in Southern California. The road is in Anaheim known as the La Palma avenue project, extending from Rio Vista street westerly to the county line. From the Orange county line to the San Gabriel river, a distance of about one mile, it is in line with the Orange county portion. On the west side of the San Gabriel river the route jogs to the north slightly to meet the south lines of several sections, and then extends due west to Cherry avenue where it bends slightly southwest to its intersection with Atlantic avenue. This portion of the road, about five miles long, has not been dedicated. From Atlantic avenue the course is again due west and does not change until it reaches the outskirts of Redondo Beach. Of this portion, about 2½ miles between Atlantic and Wilmington avenues, is dedicated 60 feet wide. From Wilmington avenue to one-half mile west of Western avenue, a distance of about 4½ miles, there is no dedication. The remainder, about 3½ miles, is a 50-foot width which has been dedicated except for a curve to make proper connections with Vincent and Diamond streets in Redondo Beach. Both of these streets are 70 feet wide. The total length dedicated in Orange county is 12½ miles and two miles undedicated. The dedicated length in Los Angeles county is seven miles and nine miles are undedicated. The master plan shows that the highway is to be 100 feet wide. From the Orange county line to North Long Beach the proposed highway is called Los Angeles street, from North Long Beach to Torrance it is Del Ame road, and from Torrence west it is called Huntington street. George W. Reid, secretary of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, says that plans are now developing to bring this much desired road into a reality. The projected road was brought to the attention of the Planning Commission of Los Angeles county eight years ago, which made it a part of that commission's major plans. It has, Mr. Reid said, been brought to the attention of the Orange County Plan Commission. It is now proposed, Mr. Reid said, to have Chambers of Commerce in Long Beach, San Pedro and Torrence take over the promotion activities in Los Angeles county, while the interests of the road in Orange county will be looked after by the Anaheim Chamber. A letter from Charles A. Diggs, chairman of the Los Angeles County Planning Commission to Mr. Reid commends the highway project and the plans in the two counties for completing it. OLD-TIMER BACK IN OLD HOME TOWN The strong market early in August made foreign shippers optimistic and brought heavy shipments for foreign lemons to the United States," said Mr. Powell. "During the past few weeks the losses sustained on this fruit averaged around $2.00 a box and much of the fruit had to be withdrawn from the sales. This ought to reduce foreign competition during the balance of the year, allowing increased shipments of California lemons during that period." W. B. Gelsinger, advertising manager of the Exchange says, with regard to use of Sunkist on grapefruit, "There was much confusion in western markets last year due to grapefruit being unstamped. Consumers who were used to buying Sunkist oranges expected the same of grapefruit. This factor was also an obstacle in dealer service and demonstration work. "Greatly increased production of California and Arizona grapefruit has made it imperative for the Exchange to seek new outlets for this fruit. In these new markets the Sunkist name has been established for a number of years through Sunkist orange and lemon advertising and consumers have confidence in it. Grapefruit growers should grasp the opportunities to fully tie up with this trademark, in which over $13,000,000 has been invested." Mrs. Bertha Zimmerman The funeral of Mrs. Bertha Zimmerman was held Monday afternoon at the Packs-Terry and Campbell chapel, the Rev. H. G. Schmelzer, of Zion Lutheran church, in charge of the service. Burial was in the Anaheim cemetery. Mrs. Zimmerman was 48 years old and was of a pioneer family of Anaheim, where she was born and spent her entire life. She is survived by her husband William Zimmerman, her mother, Mrs. Clara Fisher; Mrs. V. W. LaMont, a sister, of Anaheim, and Charles Fisher, a brother, of Chino. Flower Shop Moves To North Lemon St. Temporarily dividing the work between two shops, Mrs. E. A.

Koerner Returns to Anaheim After Fifty Years Hardly Recognizes Place Louis E. Koerner, who played baseball with the Anaheim team for three years beginning in 1888, and who worked as a carpenter to pay his expenses, has been back in Anaheim this week looking for old friends and old landmarks, both of which he found were few and far between. His chief bid for fame as a ball player, he said, was in a game against the San Diego club, when he made a triple play unassisted. He left Anaheim in 1891 and went to Chicago where he worked on the construction of three World's Fair buildings. Since then he has been making Atlanta, Ga., his home town and has been erecting postoffice buildings and county court houses all over the country. Mr. and Mrs. Koerner came to California on a motor trip from Atlanta, their first objective being San Diego. With the exception of 500 miles of good gravel roads, the entire trip was over paved highways. The roads were all in fine condition. Mr. Koerner said. "Anaheim does not look much like the town I left nearly fifty years ago," he said. "It has certainly been growing and changing. I have found only a few old landmarks on which I worked as a carpenter. And old friends I had here are as scarce as the old land marks." Mr. and Mrs. Koerner are at present with friends in Pasadena. He said that he hopes to return to Anaheim at least to spend the winter. REV. WALKER WILL NOT RESIGN The Rev. Thomas H. Walker, pastor of the First Presbyterian church has quieted reports that he was to retire from the pulpit of that church by announcing that he would not accept a call to Westminster Presbyterian church and will remain in Anaheim.
