Uniform Handbill Ordinance Proposed By Orange County Municipality League President Leo Sheridan of Anaheim Appoints City Attorney George Holden Chairman of Committee to Draw Up Measure, Following Meeting Held at San Clemente Last Week When members of the Orange County League of Municipalities meet at Newport Beach on July 27 they expect to take a proposed uniform municipal ordinance regulating distribution and license fees governing handbills, circulars, and other so-called "literature." In the meantime, City Attorney George Holden of Anaheim was appointed last week by President Leo J. Sheridan of the league, to call other city attorneys and attempt to arrive at a uniform ordinance. This action was determined upon at the league meeting held at San Clemente last Thursday evening, when discrepancies in various city ordinances, and difficulties of enforcement of fees ranging from $5 a quarter to $500 a year for various cities. Councilman W. B. Potter of Fullerton proposed the move, while Mayor Paul Witmer of Santa Ana said that city would defer action on a proposed handbill ordinance until the league measure is drafted. Public Works Program Mayor Witmer was named as chairman of a committee of mayors to gather data on the public works loan programs from the several cities of the county and forward it to headquarters of the California League of Municipalities. The naming of this committee followed a warning by Louis Burke, counsel for the state league, who made the principal address of the meeting, that unless there is concerted action, so that a united front may be presented to the public administrator for California, to be appointed by President Roosevelt, the larger cities and the counties of the state will get the lion's share of the funds available. One member wanted to know why the cities had to pay 20 cents a meal for prisoners at the county jail, when the county pays only 14 cents. This brought up the question of feeding vagrants and Attorney Burke said that it was against the law for cities to feed itinerants directly, as that was a gift of public funds. He suggested ways that the feeding could be effective. Try Beet Pulp As A Poultry Litter Satisfactory Results Reported By Foreman After Six-Week Experiment The poultry division of the University of California has reported to W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor, the results of a ten-weeks' trial of dried beet pulp (without molasses) as a poultry litter. It has been used both in chick brooding pens and in pens with mature birds. Litter changes were made approximately each three weeks in accordance with the sanitary program effective at the university plant. Mr. H. B. Mugglestone, foreman of the poultry plant, has made the following observations regarding the use of this litter. (1) The beet pulp remained dry throughout the duration of the trial, which included a period of rainy weather. (2) A considerable amount of droppings tended to be picked up on the feet of the attendant in the adult bird pens. Apparently this due to the fineness of the litter and its lack of weight. (3) Droppings and feed tend to remain on the surface of this litter, where in some other kinds the material works through to the floor. (4) In the chick brooding pens there was slightly more trouble with toe-picking during the first two weeks with best pulp litter than with shavings or stray. Apparently this was due to the darker color of... Municipal Act Changes Changes in the municipal corporations act, affecting cities of the sixth class, were discussed at some length by Attorney Burke. He advised that copies of the bill be obtained from the state printer by city clerks. Among the changes of importance cited by Burke are: That the compensation of elective officers may be changed only by ordinance; qualifications of electors in a precinct changed from 30 to 40 days to conform with the state law; special meetings of city councils may now be called without the old requirement of a three-hour notice. An amendment that will save much time to city councils and the voices of city clerks provides that ordinances do not have to be read in full. If after it has been read by title the motion to pass it to the next reading has been unanimous. City councils cannot incur indebtedness beyond the city's income, unless the money is in the treasury without a vote of the people. The publication of notices inviting bids has been clarified. Formerly the law read that the bids must be advertised for two weeks and the courts interpreted that as three publications for a weekly newspaper. Now it provides for publication twice the notices to appear at least five days apart. Annual bids for city printing have been eliminated entirely. Bids still must be advertised for the publishing of legal notices, except that if there is only one newspaper of general circulation in a community it is not necessary. Another problem that has tied up votes in many city councils has been clarified. The mayor of a city of the sixth class has been designated also as having the powers of a councilman. He now can make motions and second motions. He is designated merely as the presiding officer. Mayors pro tempore will have the same right when they are serving in the chair. Post Securities Securities must now be put up by banks for improvement bond money. This compliance with the public deposit ratio which included a period of rainy weather. (2) A considerable amount of droppings tended to be picked up on the feet of the attendant in the adult bird pens. Apparently this due to the fineness of the litter and its lack of weight. (3) Droppings and feed tend to remain on the surface of this litter where in some other kinds the material works through to the floor. (4) In the chick brooding pens there was slightly more trouble with toe-picking during the first two weeks with best pulp litter than with shavings or stray. Apparently this was due to the darker color of the pulp contrasting more with the color of the toes. However, the toe-picking was soon controlled by proper management. (5) There was little evidence of litter eating during the trial. (6) Growth of chicks was satisfactory on the beet plum litter and the birds remained in a healthy condition. The general conclusion reached was that this type of beet pulp is likely to prove a satisfactory poultry litter where it can be obtained at a comparable cost with other types of litter. Agriculture Radio Program Announced The schedule of daily radio talks given on agricultural and allied subjects, under the auspices of the agricultural extension service and KFI, is announced by Farm Advisor Harold E.. Wahlberg for the week beginning July 3. The talks are presented at 12 o'clock noon each day.

Before beginning his address, the speaker introduced Winston Updegraf, editor of the state league's magazine, Western City. Under a new law the question of publishing delinquent tax lists is left up to the cities. They are not required to publish them if they have their own tax-collecting machinery. County lists must be published and if the county does the collecting the lists must be published. The lists, when not published, must be posted in three public places. The law regarding redemption of property taken over by the state for sale has been changed so that the imposing number of Greatly I for employment is vergent industry prices, and impure industry, retail and bank debts.

This increase is considering that cities decreased in period of 1932. Another problem that has tied up votes in many city councils has been clarified. The mayor of a city of the sixth class has been designated also as having the powers of a councilman. He now can make motions and second motions. He is designated merely as the presiding officer. Mayors pro tempore will have the same right when they are serving in the chair. Post Securities Securities must now be put up by banks for improvement bond money. This compliance with the public deposit act is required because money was lost through the failure of banks. The bonds of city treasurers must be in an amount equal to 25 percent of the annual tax levy. City clerks and city treasurers may now appoint their own deputies. Chiefs of police no longer are responsible for the acts of their patrolmen. Albert Launer, city attorney of Fullerton, and secretary of the league, asked Burke if cities would be permitted to use allocated gasoline tax funds to offset budget requirements and thus reduce tax rates. Burke said the spending of the funds is controlled by the state public works department. They must be used first for state highways through a city and secondly for the improvement of streets that are important arteries of the state highway, but expressed the opinion that if all such streets were improved and a city council wished to use the money for repairs and upkeep in the street department, that there would be a liberal interpretation by the director of public works. Attorney Burke declared that the lobby of the auto clubs is the most powerful at Sacramento and controls the senate. Their program for highway legislation was put through and he declared that they blocked legislation they were opposed to by getting "Sunny Jim" to veto the bills. California is the only state in the union, he said, that allotted any portion of the gasoline money to the cities.

He now has the ancient vessel on display in the O. J. Day store, Westminster. It surpasses anything of the kind now on exhibition in Los Angeles. Day found the jar hidden in a deep cleft of a cliff while on an archery expedition 100 miles inland from Ensenada. The country is very wild and has been explored but little, he states. Los Angeles museum authorities told Day that the jar probably was made by one of two tribes living in that vicinity hundreds of years ago and that one of the tribes is known to have hidden articles they valued in out of the way spots. The jar is about 20 inches high and holds six gallons. It is terra cotta in color and has on its surface a number of symbols and markings which have not as yet been interpreted. The olla is in perfect condition and was topped by a cover which has the appearance of a mixing bowl. Bank’s Review Is Encouraging One Number of Employees Hired Greatly Exceeds Increase for Year 1932 Employment increases in many divergent industries, advancing live stock prices, and improvement in the canning industry, retail sales, building activity and bank debts are factors noted by the Bank of America business review as indicative that California business showed definite bottleneck. Plans Drive To Prevent Auto Dealers From “Dumping” Unemployed In State Report Eastern Firms Hire Men to Drive Unregistered Cars Hold On Promises of Work On Arrival, Then Set Unemployed Adrift In Strange Cities; Motor Vehicle Chief Will Probe Practice The department of motor vehicles joins with the division of labor statistics in an investigation of complaints that eastern automobile firms are using unemployed men to drive new, unregistered cars to California on glow promises of work and then leaving the men stranded here without employment funds or means of return transportation. Russell Bevans, registrar of the department, announces he has sent special investigators to border checking stations to watch for such cars reported to be coming into the state in caravans or a dozen or more. E. Raymond Cato, chief of the California highway patrol, has detailed members of the patrol to assist the border checkers in examining cars brought into the state in this manner and in arresting violators. Both Cato and Bevane stressed the point that great care would be taken not to embarrass bona fide non-resident visitors. Bevans said those in charge of such caravans would be required to take out California licenses for each car before proceeding. The complaints made to the department by Arthur L. Johnson, deputy labor commissioner, indicated the automobile companies were using this method to avoid payment of freight charges on new cars to California. Bevans said he had been given to understand that the cars are not coming from the factories but from defunct firms of the Middle West interested in getting them to California without payment of freight costs and then selling them at reduced prices. Johnson’s complaint said “hitch hikers” had been used as drivers and that in some instances they had been required to drive from 15 to 30 hours consecutively without rest. Several accidents were reported to have resulted and two new cars were abandoned in the Great Salt Lake in Utah. After getting the cars here the drivers were reported to have been told there was no work for them to do and Picnickers Use New Meat Grill Picnickers at the Anaheim city park over the week-end and for the Fourth of July will have the use of the meat grill installed this week, according to Park Superintendent Rudolph Boysen. The grill is located on southwest side of the park. Potato Control Plan Project Stockton Growers Organize Promote Scheme Into National Scope A plan for the organization of the potato growers of the state with ultimate extension of the movement to the nation at large, regulating the quantity sold to the demand and prorating the quantity among the growers on the basis of their production, was disclosed in an announcement just made by All California farm bureau federation. Johnson, secretary manager of the Johnson, together with Drs. H. Tolley and E. A. Stokdyke of the Glenn mini foundation have been working for some time past with the Stockton Potato Growers association. With the details approved by this organization the latter has now submitted the plan for adoption by the San Joaquin farm b Number of Employes Hired Greatly Exceeds Increase for Year 1932 Employment increases in many divergent industries, advancing live stock prices, and improvement in the canning industry, retail sales, building activity and bank debits are factors noted by the Bank of America business review as indicative that California business showed definite betterment last month. The bank's index of far western business stood at 56.7 in May against 56.5 in April and 53.8 in March. Outstanding increases in the number of employees during May over the corresponding month of 932 were recorded by the fruit and vegetable canners, beverage manufacturers, tanners, confectioners, millers, sugar producers, glass manufacturers, and clothiers. The advance in prices for livestock, the increased demand and price of hides and wool and reports of favorable range conditions throughout this territory have brought renewed optimism to the livestock men of the West, according to the review. The heartening effect of these encouraging factors is reflected throughout eleven western states which are responsible for 20% of the beef, 55% of the wool and 33% of the hides produced in the United States. Plans for control of the 1933 pack of California canning fruits, coupled with a virtual elimination of stocks in the hands of the packers, place the industry in a position to command profitable prices during the coming year. As of June 1 last, stocks of peaches, apricots and cherries were 77% below their total as of June 1, 1932. Total sales of canned goods during the 12 months ended June 1, 1933, showed an increase of 25% over the volume for the preceding 12 months. A pronounced upturn in department store sales was evident during May, the first month in the last three years in which the dollar value of retail sales in the far western states has shown an increase over the corresponding month of the preceding year. The monthly survey of building permits made by the analysis and research department of the Bank of America disclosed a decided improvement throughout the West during May. Among 61 cities of eight far western states, 43, or 70%, reported large gains last month over April, and 26 cities, or 43% reported substantial increases over May, 1932. Bank debits for May 1933, reported from 27 cities of seven western states showed a 6.2% increase over April. This increase is especially encouraging considering that debits for the same cities decreased 13.4% during the same period of 1932. Johnson's complaint said "hitch hikers" had been used as drivers and that in some instances they had been required to drive from 15 to 30 hours consecutively without rest. Several accidents were reported to have resulted and two new cars were abandoned in the Great Salt Lake in Utah. After getting the cars here the drivers were reported to have been told there was no work for them to do and to have been set adrift. One caravan was reported to have come into the state with only one set of plates, one plate being fastened to the front of the first car and the other to the rear of the last car. Bevans said his authority necessarily would be confined to requiring that legal registration be secured for such cars at the border. Johnson, together with Drs. H. Tolley and E. A. Stokdyke of the Glenn mini foundation have been working for some time past with the Stockton Potato Growers association. With the details approved by this organization the latter has now submitted the plan for adoption by the San Joaquin farm bureau with the request that the matter be then passed on to the state farm bureau for similar action. The potato growers would then look to the California farm bureau federation to bring the matter to the attention of farm bureaus in other states to the extent that the plan may become national scope, operating under the supervision of the secretary of agriculture. The plan, it is predicted, would bring a lot more closed a decided improvement throughout the West during May. Among 61 cities of eight far western states, 43, or 70%, reported large gains last month over April, and 26 cities, or 43% reported substantial increases over May, 1932. Bank debits for May 1933, reported from 27 cities of seven western states showed a 6.2% increase over April. This increase is especially encouraging considering that debits for the same cities decreased 13.4% during the same period of 1932.

To Control Plan Projected Growers Organize to note Scheme Into National Scope For the organization of the farmers of the state with ulti- tion of the movement to the urge, regulating the quantity demand and prorating this among the growers on the air production, was disclosed encement just made by Alex farm bureau federation. Secretary manager of the together with Drs. H. R. E. A. Stokdyke of the Gian-tion have been working for past with the Stockton Po-s association. With the de- ded by this organization the row submitted the plan for the San Joaquin farm bu- desired stabilization to one of the nation's most important vegetable crops. All of the potatoes consumed in the United States, practically speaking, are grown within the United States, and little of the crop is exported. A survey on which the plan is based pointed to two courses of action. The first, an immediate emergency measure, desigined to balance the quantity of potatoes to be available in consuming markets with current demands in such manner that representative potato growers will receive remunerative terms. The second course is a long time program of balancing production and consumption at a price equitable to both consumer and producer through an adjustment of acreage. The first course is the one under immediate considera- tion by the growers. It calls for the secretary of agriculture entering into contracts with associations of produc ers and dealers to prorate and regulate the marketing of potatoes. Tags would be issued to each producer based upon the ratio that his production bears to the total quantity produced times the total quantity to be marketed. Potato adjustment associations composed of growers in each of the potato growing counties of the United States would be organized and federated into standardized state associations, the latter to form regional groups and these to appoint members to a federal potato council. The council on the advice and consent of the secretary of agriculture would appoint a potato administrator. The federal council would determine annually the potatoes to be marketed and allot marketing quantities for each regional which in turn would allot state quan- tities and the latter would break the marketing down for each county.
