Kirchmann Sees Hopeful Outlook for 1934, Reports to Directors REINERT, EAGER AND SCHLOTTER BEING GROOMED Entry of Third Ticket Looms As Incumbents Quiet; Long's Ticket Splits Entry of a third councilmanic ticket for the April 9 municipal elections in Anaheim loomed this week as friends groomed J. D. Eager, C. A. Reinert and E. M. Schlotter to oppose the announced candidacies of E. E. (Doc) Long and Carl Pressel, and the anticipated reentry of incumbents. Reinert, who was a member of the Anaheim union high school board of trustees and well known in the city, had been asked to run on previous occasions, and is reported considering joining the ticket composed of the above-named men. Possible formation of this third ticket makes the four petitions for council and three for city clerk already taken out loom as a vanguard for an orgy to follow in the race for selection of three councilmen and a city clerk. One day after February 8, when circulation of petitions and filing of nomination papers became legal, E. E. (Doc) Long appeared to secure three petitions for council. This started a temporary flurry. Herbert Oelke and Charles Griffith appeared in the city clerk's office to take out petitions for city clerkship. A few days later Sec- Re-elect Weisel Head of Exchange Manager A. H. Kirchmann Sees Hopeful Outlook for 1934, Reports to Directors P. J. Weisel was re-elected president and O. E. Steward vice-president at the re-organization meeting of the Central Orange County Citrus exchange board of directors Monday, following the annual report made by Manager A. H. Kirchman, who also was re-appointed. B. L. Chandler was chosen to sit on the board of directors of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, while J. R. Skewis Jr. was named alternate. Other directors are Ernest Borcheert, Thomas Haster and V. W. Borden. Better market conditions, a better quality fruit and a smaller crop indicate considerably better returns for 1934 valencias than the 1933 crop paid, Manager Kirchman reported to his board of directors. During 1933 the exchange handled 1859 carloads, or 818,816 boxes of citrus fruits. Shipping did not begin until late in the season, because of the quality of fruit itself, while efforts at market stabilization did not begin to show appreciable gains till mid-summer, after which prices were steadier than in previous years, despite the fact that abnormal conditions forced a heavy carry-over beyond the normal marketing period. Manager Kirchmann reported that 1934 fruit apparently is free from scars, and the crop appears somewhat lighter than in 1933. The local exchange handled the following business for the past year: packed valencias, 752,271 boxes or 1628 carloads; loose valencias, 51,668 boxes for 177 carloads; packed navels, 14,813 boxes or 32 carloads; loose navels, 8,769 boxes of 19 carloads; loose grapefruit, 113 boxes and loose sweets, 1182 boxes, or 3 carloads. Member associations of the local exchange are: Anaheim Citrus Fruit association, Anaheim Community Growers association, Anaheim Orange and Lemon association, and Scott and Borden Packing company.

Genial Governor James Rolph Jr., who is on a swing around the state to build up his political fences for the August primaries took occasion to remark that he promised four years ago, if elected, "to put a heart into the office. I can tell you that during the last three years nothing has been needed in that office so much as a heart." He praised the German settlers who settled Anaheim as farmers and not as gold prospectors; he lauded their contribution to the citrus industry of the state. After urging the school children to get as much out of their classes as possible, the governor grabbed several surprised spectators by the hand, then proceeded to cut the ribbon to officially open the road.

Huntington Beach Hits State Suits If Huntington Beach is successful in two suits filed Wednesday in superior Court in Santa Ana, the state's action against whipstocking in the Huntington Beach tidallands case will come to a standstill. Through Attorneys L. W.

If Huntington Beach is successful in two suits filed Wednesday in superior Court in Santa Ana, the state's action against whipstocking in the Huntington Beach tidelands case will come to a standstill. Through Attorneys L. W. Blodgett and George Busch, Huntington Beach entered a default against the fate for failure to file an answer to the city's amende dcross-complaint filed with the original suits, and filed an entry of judgment based on the court's previous order sustaining the city's demurrer to the state's complaint, without leave to amend the original. The first action is designed to restrain the state from prosecuting suites now in court or of filing new ones. This action is based on the court's striking out the city's original cross complaint after an amended cross complaint had been filed, which Blodgett declares the state failed to answer, thus forcing the court either to sustain the city or reverse a previous decision.
