Transient merchants are defined as "any person or persons, either principal or agent, employer or employee, who engages in a temporary business in the city of Anaheim." Any affiliation of a temporary nature with a firm or corporation also is included in the transient merchant definition which requires that such person or corporation, a sum of $450 or a bond executed by the bonded principal on a reliable security company be in favor of the city of Anaheim, and deposited with the city clerk. The second ordinance No. 553, sponsored and submitted by the city parties, provides for regulation of sale and advertising for sale of goods, ware and merchandise, and is designed to prevent fraudulent sales. This measure makes it compulsory for any person managing, conducting or carrying out a cleaning-out sale, whether due to fire, bankruptcy, or other reasons, to obtain a license from the city clerk. Such sales must be limited to 30 days.

Chairman S. James Tuffree of Fullerton led discussion on need for college for northern Orange county. Anaheim, nature's garden spot of Southern California, literally becomes more so if plans afoot this week to aid this community's unemployed are developed. Present plans of Chairman Ernest Ganahl and committee W. H. Aupperle and Leo J. Sheridan, are to secure vacant lots on Anaheim's main-traveled streets, get money with which to buy seeds and encourage the unemployed to raise gardens. The move inaugurated with a meeting Monday evening at the city hall received such an enthusiastic reception, with many unemployed making requests for lots seed and other materials with which to raise gardens, that efforts were authorized to see whether or not the city would donate water for the gardening purpose. About 60 persons attended the meeting. Persons whether living in or outside the city who desire to get a lot on college for northern Orange county existing at the Fullerton institution, and out of the total enrollment students are from Anaheim cession revived the hope leaders for a county-wide which they believe would expense to taxpayers and ter facilities for the desire, however, was practically beyond fulfillment of division of county size now admits of two junior at Santa Ana and the otion.

Small Growth For February Is Noted February was a poor growing month for valencias, D. D. Waynick of the Association laboratory, reported this week, following compilation of data from 23 representative groves. If packed today, outside fruit would average 254, and inside 270 per box, with measurements of 2.491 inches and 2.435 inches, and growths for the month of .040. and .045 inches, respectively. Small variation between inside and outside fruit was noticeable, he pointed out. Growth for the past month has been less than for any February in the last seven years. The city today is in valuable maps, compiled of 20 years and recorded detail practically every time along engineering this district.

HIS BANK ROLL County Finance Explain Political Attack On Funds Is Told County Will Have But $14,000 By End of Fiscal Year, July 1 If the county took the $310,846 of uncontracted funds referred to by the Associated chambers' committee report last week, or the $400,000 claimed available for such purposes by the Santa Ana Register, for unemployment relief, it would be "robbing Peter to pay Paul." This in other words, would throw out of employment about the same number of men that it would hire. In addition, it would substitute inexperienced men for experienced help, which would not aid the county's unemployment problem, and would materially damage the county's work. These facts were stressed in a written report of Supervisor William Schumacher of the third district this week. To make clear the fact that the county City Junior College Fullerton’s Educators Bread; Cite Number of Local Over-Crowded College and Bus Life for Institution Work out a junior college plan were under consideration by Anaheim the dinner held Thursday in Fullerton. Tor led discussion on need for a junior college for northern Orange county, cited the over-crowded conditions now existing at the Fullerton junior college, a desire to have a separate campus life for the institution, and the fact that out of the total enrollment of 666,115 students are from Anaheim. This discussion revived the hope of Anaheim’s leaders for a county-wide junior college which they believe would cut down the expense to taxpayers and provide better facilities for the students. This desire, however, was admitted to be practically beyond fulfillment because of division of county support which now admits of two junior colleges, one at Santa Ana and the other at Fullerton. Study Proposal Further Fullerton speakers stated that if Anaheim desired to enter a northern Orange county agreement, question of location could be worked out harmoniously. Those present from Anaheim included: Harry Ramm, E. E. Smith, Louis Hoskins, Charles Harbeson, C. C. Reinert of the Anaheim union high school board; Lotus H., Loudon and Principal J. J. Cayes, of the Anaheim union high school. From Fullerton were members of the school board, Mr. Tuffey Arthur Staley, W. L. Travers. Craig Is Groomed For Congressman Ted Craig’s candidacy — whether he wants it or not for congressmap from the nineteenth district is booming along with the impetus of friendship. Ten days ago the Fullerton News-Tribune published what it conceived as a political rumor, emphasizing Assemblyman Craig’s capabilities and his political acumen. Last week the Brea Progress (Craig’s home-town paper) openly boomed him for congress with a lengthy editorial citing his qualifications, and a page-one reprint of the favorable article in the News-Tribune. His home-town paper argues that Craig is young, adaptable, and, since years of service eventually win important committee chairmanships and such distinction is a direct aid to the constituency, his continued election thus would reflect favorably upon the nineteenth congressional district. But Craig, so far, hasn’t openly announced his candidacy. He appears to be awaiting developments, with possibility of supporting Nels T. Edwards of Orange in case the latter wants to run for congress. Anaheim Day At Noted Mission Play, Saturday Anaheim Day at the Mission Play, famous pageant of early California life which is in its 21st year, will be held at the playhouse in San Gabriel, Saturday, March 12, according to word received here this week from officials of the pageant. The famous play, presented for a limited time each winter and for which it would be “robbing Peter to pay Paul.” This in other words, would throw out of employment about the same number of men that it would hire. In addition, it would substitute inexperienced men for experienced help, which would not aid the county’s unemployment problem, and would materially damage the county’s work. These facts were stressed in a written report of Supervisor William Schumacher of the third district this week. To make clear the fact that the county will have but $14,000 on hand at the end of the fiscal year July 1, not enough to carry on its past unemployment program a week. Supervisor Schumacher prepared a table of the financial condition of the county to explain the true status of its finances. His report follows: By WILLIAM SCHUMACHER 3rd District Supervisor Inasmuch as the Orange county board of supervisors has been subjected to a politically-inspired attack on a matter which has been closest to the hearts and thoughts of its members for more than a year past, the relief of unemployment in Orange county, a matter which has been brought to the fore by the present nation-wide depression, the members of the board feel that a frank statement of the financial situation of the county government at present will do much to clear the misunderstanding resulting from a loose and undetailed publication of figures, the sole intention of which has been to make it appear that the board has been remiss in that which at present concerns it most, the alleviation of suffering among the county’s needs. This attack has been hinged upon the fact that, faced with the exhaustion of available county funds, the board has found it necessary until such time as more funds shall be usable to discontinue the program of unemployment relief that it has carried on during the winter, or else bankrupt the county to such an extent that even widows, orphans, indigents and aged who depend upon the county for sustenance can receive no further care. Defeit Faced A recapitulation of the present financial condition of the county shows that, if the present anticipated revenue and anticipated income are proved to be accurate, the county will end its fiscal year June 30, 1932, with a balance of approximately $14,000, with which the county will have to take care of any further requirements for the destitute and with the help only of fees and redemptions operate the county government until new tax moneys are received in December. As this sum is obviously inadequate to carry on the complicated affairs of county government, it appears necessary for the county during the period after the present fiscal year to finance itself by registration of warrants, a system to which it has not been necessary to re- Study Proposal Further Fullerton speakers stated that if Anaheim desired to enter a northern Orange county agreement, question of location could be worked out harmoniously. Those present from Anaheim included: Harry Ramm, E. E. Smith, Louis Hoskins, Charles Harbeson, C. C. Reinert of the Anaheim union high school board; Logan H. Loudon and Principal J. A. Cayes, of the Anaheim union High School. From Fullerton were members of the school board, Mr. Tuffree, Arthur Staley, W. J. Travers, Jack Prizer, and Albert Laumer, and W. Kee Maxwell of the Fullerton News-Tribune. While no action was taken at the meeting, consensus of opinion was that Anaheim's representatives would study the situation more thoroughly before another gathering is called. Bradford Brothers Ship 36 Cars Navels Bradford Brothers packing house in Placentia Saturday finished its navel packing season, sending out 36 cars during the past two months, according to Manager Glenn Wiley. This is four cars less than last year, occasioned largely through brown rot caused by heavy and constant rains which prevented spraying. Steward Thanked For Group of Maps The city today is in possession of valuable maps, compiled over a period of 20 years and recording in minute detail practically every major suggestion along engineering lines made in this district. The maps were given to the city Tuesday evening by O. E. Steward, well known local engineer, who expressed the hope that they might be filled with the city engineer and used for future reference, and help in studying the history of this section. The city council Tuesday evening passed a resolution of appreciation, ordering it placed in the minutes of the meeting and a copy sent to Mr. Steward. Anaheim Day At Noted Mission Play, Saturday Anaheim Day at the Mission Play, famous pageant of early California life which is in its 21st year, will be held at the playhouse in San Gabriel, Saturday, March 42, according to word received here this week from officials of the pageant. The famous play, presented for a limited time each winter and for which a magnificent showhouse has been erected, closes Sunday, March 13. MAN MADE THE TO by RUBY M.

While this act to legalize certain relief activities was being passed, a small crowd of unemployed were being exported by two persons to make an appearance before the board. The group, however, disbanded. It was believed to have been formed by leaders seeking representatives from every part of the county, following a speech the day before by J. Frank Burke, publisher of the Santa Ana Register, when Mrs. Stanton's Brother Killed Friends this week sorrowed with Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Stanton over the accidental death last Friday of Mrs. Stanton's half-brother, Marcelous O'Sullivan, at Perris. Funeral services for Mr. O'Sullivan, who was an engineer in the fire department of Los Angeles, were held Tuesday from St. Mary's church at Boyle Heights. Scores of friends of the Stantons and of Mr. O'Sullivan from Anaheim district attended the funeral, which was marked by attendance of a large delegation from the Los Angeles fire department and its 100-piece band. Mr. O'Sullivan was with a party of four men hunting rabbits Friday. One of the men, in getting his gun out of the car to shoot at a rabbit, accidentally shot Mr. O'Sullivan. Six Students Present Playlet for Kiwanians Kiwanians, while remembering with pleasure the playlet "Babbit's Boy" presented by high school seniors at the luncheon-meeting Tuesday noon at the Elks clubhouse, this week busled themselves with plans to attend the district meeting to be held in Whittier, March 22. The six students taking part in the playlet under the direction of Mrs. Faye Kern Schulz, were: Evan Backs, Sally Newkirk, Emil Heinze, Jane Deming, Grace Houck and Margaret Thompson. General county government and maintenance $438,328.13 Relief welfare and hospital 149,551.12 *County good roads, Bridges and auto license 410,226.65 Road districts 212,978.17 Total estimated disbursements 1,211,084.07 Estimated balance July 1, 1932 $64,514.52 *Budgeted expenditures are explained in the attached statement. **Reduction in state gas taxes and a change in the state plan of distribution have reduced the amount available for the auto license fund by $64,458.82. NOTE: While the Orange county treasurer handles other monies than the total listed above, only that which is under control of the supervisors is included. The other money is the property of schools, lighting, storm water, etc. While this act to legalize certain relief activities was being passed, a small crowd of unemployed were being exhorted by two persons to make an appearance before the board. The group, however, disbanded. It was believed to have been formed by leaders seeking representatives from every part of the county, following a speech she day before by J. Frank Burke, publisher of the Santa Ana Register, when about 30 unemployed men went from the county welfare department to the Register office to compliment the publisher on his fight to have the county spend an additional $400,000 on unemployment relief. Will Aid Indigent The county supervisors took under consideration the proposal to extend the Anaheim relief plan (a method of issuing certificates in lieu of money to be paid for through a series of 25 discounts with merchants) to a county-wide scope. This scheme, however, was put aside when county legal counsel ruled that the board could not legally set up a sum of money with which to back the certificates in circulation. "We are open for any suggestion that will prove practical in the aid of the unemployed of the county," said Supervisor William Schumacher Wednesday morning. "The county supervisors for past year have done everything in their power to aid in this work, and have brought county finances to a position where prudence calls a halt to further expenditures along this line." "The board will take care of all desperately needy, or indigents, however even if it has to issue warrants to meet the demand." Kiwanians, while remembering with pleasure the playlet "Babbit's Boy" presented by high school seniors at the luncheon-meeting Tuesday noon at the Elks clubhouse, this week busled themselves with plans to attend the district meeting to be held in Whittier, March 22. The six students taking part in the playlet under the direction of Mrs. Faye Kern Schulz, were: Evan Backs, Sally Newkirk, Emil Helnze, Jane Deming, Grace Houck and Margaret Thompson. Dr. Milo Tedstrom was program chairman. The three Orange county projected improvements are: Coast highway, 4.8 miles of concrete pavement between Newport Beach and Corona del Mar; coast highway, 4.9 miles concrete pavement between Laguna Beach and Dana Point; widening of bridge, on coast highway, over Anaheim Bay, of steel and concrete construction. Busiest State Arterial Between Newport and Corona del Mar a 40-foot pavement on an 80-foot roadbed is planned to connect the recently widened pavement from Long Beach to Newport with the pavement now under construction between Corona del Mar and Laguna. The other project will carry the concrete pavement southerly from Laguna to Dana Point where it will connect with the short strip of pavement placed three years ago between Dana Point and Serra on the coast route. “This highway along the Southern California coast carries the heaviest traffic of any of the arterials of the state system, and its improvement to super-highway standards is being rapidly advanced so that motorists will have ready access to any one of the popular beaches which lie along the route,” writes Secretary Howe. These projects are scheduled in the biennium budget and are fully financed by incoming funds. They are part of the 21 separate construction projects located in 15 counties which start the 1032 highway program. City Collects $817 In February Fines Law violators during February paid into the city’s treasury, via the recorder’s court, a total of $817. Judge Frank Tausch announced in his report to the citio on this week. The fines were classified as follows: $345 from 25 persons tried on motor vehicle laws; $473 from 34 persons arrested on city ordinance No. 34. Two motor vehicle law violators were sent to the county jail, seven to juvenile court, and one’s license was revoked.
