Free estimates 206 N. Main St., Santa Ana—2560 3-22-tf Independent Oil Men Up Against It Independent oil men operating in the Richfield district east of Placentia are now up against the most recent development of oil conservation in California by being unable to sell their crude petroleum after they pump it out of the wells, says the Placentia Courier. The Chikksan Oil Co., says the Courier, which recently finished a good producer in the Kroeger well, on Bueng Vista street east of Richfield Road, has a tank filled with oil but thus far has not been able to sell it. Various other independent producers in Atwood who do not have contracts with the larger companies for purchase of oil, are also finding it difficult to dispose of their product. On the older wells contracts with the big firms provide for purchase of oil, but for independent wells for which the output is not covered by contract, there is no market. Prices are so low that most of the producers plan to leave the oil in the ground. Cleaning & Pressing ALL KINDS of cleaning and pressing. Prompt service. Call and deliver; or cash and carry.

Makes Reduction in Rates Consumers Will Save Total of $775,000 a Year, Says Vice-President Consumers of the Southern California Edison Company, Ltd., will save approximately $775,000 a year through the voluntary rate reduction which the company makes effective May 1, according to W. C. Mullendore, vice-president. The request for this rate reduction was approved some time ago by the Railroad Commission. Industrial and agricultural consumers of electrical energy throughout the entire system will benefit by this decrease in the price of energy, according to Mullendore. More than 16,000 agricultural consumers and 20,000 industrial consumers will share in the benefits of the reduction. Third Major Reduction This is the third major voluntary reduction made by the company since 1927 and the eighth of a series of voluntary reductions which began in 1920, according to Mullendore. The last voluntary reduction which became effective November 1, 1929, effected a saving of approximately $1,400,000 a year to the company's lighting consumers. The number of consumers benefiting from that reduction was in excess of 425,000. Economies in company operations, without curtailment of development of the necessary facilities to care for present as well as future electrical needs of the territory, have made these frequent rate reductions possible. The Campany's Policy "Our company's policy of continuously working for lower rates has proved to be very satisfactory and mutually beneficial." New City Budget Totals $449,220 A budget for the operations of Anaheim city government for the next year is under consideration by members of the council, the budget providing for appropriations totalling $449,-220.81. It is estimated that revenues expected from all sources amount to $302,-298.12, with $58,177.91 to be raised by taxation for the general fund. No radical changes over last year appear in the new budget. One increase is that for domestic sewers, from $1,-275.29 last year to $2,753.28. Approximately the same amount is budgeted for the outfall sewer. The budget for street cleaning last year provided $6,116.18, while this item is increased to $6,494.27. Garbage collections cost $5,517.74 last year, the new budget increasing the amount to $5,738.50. The new budget reduced the amount for the city park from $23,260.43 last year to $21,135. The city plunge last year cost $7,524.97, and, because of new hot water equipment, the new budget raises the amount to $7,700. Would Make a City of Orange County Turning the cities over to Orange county and make the county a unit in the government of affairs was a proposal made to the Orange County Associated Chambers of Commerce by W. C. Jerome, former county auditor, at a meeting held in Yorba Linda, Tuesday night. He proposed that Orange county operate under a charter similar to that of the city and county of San Francisco. Among the advantages Mr. Jerome pointed out was that Metropolitan water service could be obtained much cheaper, salaries of many public officials would be saved, sectional viewpoints and prejudices would be eliminated. Orange county would really become a city of 118,000 people he said. Grapefruit Growers Boost Promotion California and Arizona Growers Spending $85,000 to Advertise "Sunkist" Brand Sunkist grapefruit growers are investing approximately $85,000 in advertising during the 1930-31 season to convince western consumers and retailers of the superiority of California and Arizona grapefruit. Outdoor posters, street car cards, a Pacific Coast radio broadcast and intensive dealer service work are telling millions of consumers of this better grapefruit. Calls on Retailers During the first five months of the 1930-31 season, a total of 5,201 call were made on retailers by the four Exchange dealer service representative devoting all or part of their time to merchandising grapefruit in the eastern states. Approximately 42,000 Sunkist grapefruit display pieces have been placed in 1,646 of these stores while almost 250 full window displays have been installed. Responses show that the Sunkist radio program featuring grapefruit every Friday evening at 9:00 p.m. over the Pacific Coast Network of the Columbia Broadcasting System has become a favorite with radio audiences. For the first nine broadcasts a total of 6,400 letters were received by Sunkist while in March 13 broadcast along brought 1,070 letters. Shows Food Uses Sunkist grapefruit advertising also appears in the street cars of the 2 principal Pacific Coast cities. A different four color card shows each month the various appetizing food uses of California and Arizona grapefruit. In all large centers of population in the western states, outdoor posters can carry colorful grapefruit sales messages. year to the company's lighting consumers. The number of consumers benefiting from that reduction was in excess of 425,000. Economies in company operations, without curtailment of development of the necessary facilities to care for present as well as future electrical needs of the territory, have made these frequent rate reductions possible. The Company's Policy "Our company's policy of continuously working for lower rates has proved to be very satisfactory and mutually profitable," said Mullendore. "We find that as the rates reduce the energy consumption per capita increases and that this in turn makes it possible to make further rate reductions." "General conditions throughout our territory indicate that 1931 will prove to be a satisfactory year in Southern California. General consumption of electricity which is a basic index of community prosperity has been practically up to normal for the first three months of the current year, and our prospects for new business indicate that conditions will improve as the year goes on." Dog Quarantine "On Agin, Off Agin" Canines in Orange county over the week-end facing a prospect of leading a dog's life, because of an order issued by the State Health department that the animals should be quarantined. The spread of rabis among the dogs, and the consequent attacks of hydrophobia among human beings, led to the order. But on Monday the owners of dogs and the dogs themselves were not so downcast, for the State Health officials found that the quarantine plans would have to be abandoned for the present. The officials found some legal technicalities stood in their way and that the campaign to suppress the spread of hydrophobia would cost some $50,000. And they did not have the $50,000. Dr. K. H. Sutherland, health officer for Orange county, received word Monday that the quarantine would be held in abeyance for the present. No definite date for the establishing of the quarantine has been set, it was said, the actual time depending on the clearing up of legal procedure before the ruling may be made effective. Police chiefs in Orange county cities have received official communications from the state health department instructing them to cooperate in the enforcement of the state law in an effort to prevent spread of the disease among dogs of the two counties—Orange and Los Angeles. However, in anticipation of the operation of the law, warnings were sounded by police heads in northern Orange county for owners to keep their animals on leash or confined in their own premises. Anaheim Trembled, Some Didn't Know It Anaheim was in the tremblor belt which gave many cities in these parts a mild shaking up or down at 10:30 last Friday morning. It was so mild here, in fact, that most folks in the city did not know it had occurred. One had to be on the second or third story of a house to feel it, for it was in upper stories that furniture acted as if ghosts were about, and some electric lights swayed. But no harm was done and few if any were scared. Los Angeles and suburbs along the ocean felt the earth tremble for about five seconds and between there and Santa Monica front windows of stores were broken, and in homes crockery was broken and some plastering was cracked. Rodondo Beach, Compton and Torrence were all in the belt, and in some of these towns hotel and apartment house guests ran into the streets as pictures swayed on the walls. The Los Angeles city hall tower, 28 stories high, swayed with the quake but no damage to the structure was done. But in Anaheim it was about as poor an earthquake as the city ever experienced.

Heart Attack Fatal to Aged Citizen A heart attack following an operation on the previous day caused the death of R. M. Fay, for 30 years a citizen of Anaheim, Friday morning, at the Sanitarium. He was 75 years old and lived on Katella road. For many years he was a member of the Presbyterian church and was one of the directors of the Mutual Orange Distributors. Mr. Fay is survived by Mrs. Fay; two brothers, J. H. Fay, and W. B. Fay, and two sisters, Mrs. F. K. Fay, of Anaheim, and Mrs. J. A. Archer, of Grenola, Kansas. Funeral services were held at the Presterian church, Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. Thomas H. Walker officiating. Burial was in Loma Vista cemetery, Fullerton. County Offices Now Shifted to Annex Taxpayers and others who go to the court house at Santa Ana will hereafter not find it like the old home place, for several offices have been removed. After several months of remodeling, the old St. Ann's Inn, which the county bought for use as an annex, is ready for occupancy and offices of the schools, agriculture, health, purchasing department, library, road surveyor, food, farm advisor and farm bureau are now in the annex. The change is also to be followed by a shifting about of those offices remaining in the main building, affecting the clerk, treasurer, auditor, supervisors, district attorney, law library and probation department.

The cactus hunters traveled over poor roads, and encountered some rain, which for two days kept them under cover, making the roads so bad that the truck could not traverse them for ten days. For stretches of several days the cactus collectors did not see a human being and at one time went 400 miles without meeting another auto.
