52 Lives Taken by Motor Vehicles in 1930 The Grim Reaper, disguised as automobiles, was abroad in Orange county all last year and every week took toll in the form of human life, according to the records of Charles D. Brown, county coroner. There were 204 fatalities in the county during the period, the coroner says, and 52 of them were due to motor vehicle mishaps, the others being suicides, and sudden deaths from natural causes. In summing up his year's work, Coroner Brown said he had in 1930 conducted 80 inquests and 124 other investigations had been made, an average of four a week. Seven inquests were held in July, the largest number for one month. Of the 52 motor vehicle deaths, one was due to an airplane wreck. Nine of the victims were pedestrians. Six were children. Nine of the 52 were Mexicans and two were Japanese. Odd Fellows to Install Chiefs Anaheim's I. O. O.

Anaheim Mattress in New Brick Quarters Anaheim Mattress company this week was housed in its new brick building at 918 North Los Angeles street. "After being in our location at 211 Third South street for over four years," Fred R. Palm, owner and manager, said, "we found that we were cramped for room, and needed more space in which to enlarge. We feel that our new plant, which permits display of our products, will help us to meet the growing demands upon our business." Dr. Brastad Moves Into New Quarters Dr. J. P. Brastad, well known Anaheim physician and optometrist whose hobby is cultivation of orchids, this week moved his offices from 105 East Center street to 125 East Center street.

After a week's honeymoon the couple will be at home on the groom's date ranch at Indio. The bride's sister, Mrs. Maxwell McPherson of Berkeley who has been visiting her parents over the Christmas holidays, will return for the wedding Saturday. New Year's Eve Was Just Another Evening New Year's eve was just another evening in Anaheim and Fullerton. Everybody, or nearly everybody, was abed early. There was no uncommon noise, no general regret that old 1930 had slipped entirely off the calendar. There were two or three auto mishaps in Fullerton, but no one was hurt. In Anaheim one man was overjoyed at the passing of the old year and was arrested for intoxication, while those were injured in an auto smash-up, none of them seriously. While noise makers were not abroad in the streets, the coming of the new year was heralded by many social parties held at homes and clubs. Building Operations In Anaheim In 1930 Building operations in Anaheim during 1930 were not slow after all, according to a report compiled by Rudolph Nyboe, city building inspector, for 240 permits were issued with total valuation of $528,191. It was a better year than 1929, when 265 permits were issued, but the total valuation was only $429,563. The first month of last year made the best showing, with 20 permits and $120,870. December permits closed the year with a total of $38,813. Record of Last Year at Orange County Jail The records of the county sheriff permits were issued with total valuation of $528,191. It was a better year than 1929, when 265 permits were issued, but the total valuation was only $429,565. The first month of last year made the best showing, with 20 permits and $120,870. December permits closed the year with a total of $38,813. Record of Last Year at Orange County Jail The records of the county sheriff's office show that in 1930 the doors of his bastille were opened to admit 3,125 persons, not all of them listed as criminals, however, but including those who came for a night's lodging and breakfast. There were 55 prisoners who went from the jail to serve sentences in state prisons, or at the two industrial homes. Their crimes ranged from murder down, and the terms ranged from life to six months. There were three murderers who went up for life, but most of the criminals were writers of "rubber" bank checks—the kind which bounce back upon those who try to cash the forgeries. Appeal Is Made For Christmas Seals An appeal to the people of Anaheim who have received a letter containing Christmas health seals from the Orange County Tuberculosis Association to remit at once has been made by the Rev. D. Howard Dow, chairman of the Anaheim committee. Funds raised thru the sale of seals are needed to carry on the work. Over five hundred people of this city have failed so far to remit, or return the stamps. Anaheim did not reach its quota of $2500.00, but a larger amount of money has been received than ever before, and the committee desires to thank all those who made possible the splendid showing.
