REQUEST MADE TO MWD FOR WATER FOR DISTRICTS OF ORANGE COUNTY Headed by Franklin Thomas, director from Pasadena, a special committee of Metropolitan Water District directors, appointed by Chairman W. P. Whitsett, is scheduled to confer this week with representatives of Southern California areas interested in securing Colorado River Aqueduct water. With J. R. Shoemaker and H. S. Gilman as spokesmen, representatives from foothill cities and areas recently appeared before the Metropolitan Water District Board of Directors and requested that they be advised upon what terms their territory might share in the use of Colorado River Aqueduct water. At its meeting last Friday the Board received a letter from William T. Wallop, a representative of the Orange County Water District, requesting information on the possibility of the Orange County District securing a portion of aqueduct water. The letter was presented to the Board through Director E. P. Hapgood of Anaheim. Three Orange County cities Anaheim, Santa Ana and Fullerton, already are in the Metropolitan Water District, and Director Hapgood pointed out that a large part of the developed area in Orange County, in addition to these three cities, is interested in securing additional water. Members of the special committee of the Metropolitan Water District which will meet and confer with representatives from both the foothill and Orange County areas are Director Franklin Thomas of Pasadena, chairman, Directors John R. Richards and Victor H. Rossetti of Los Angeles, Director S. H. Finley of Santa Ana, and Director J. H. Ramboz of San Marino. The committee will be assisted by General Manager F. E. Weymouth and his engineering staff. Southern California cities which now comprise the Metropolitan Water District are Anaheim, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Compton, Fullerton, Glendale, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Marino, Santa Ana, Santa Monica, and Torrence. Committee On Relief Meets The Emergency Relief committee held a special meeting in the SERA offices in Santa Ana last Monday morning at which time routine matters were disposed of and all bills ordered paid. The meeting was called early, as the committee's chairman, Dr. George Warmer, left the city this week on a vacation trip. All projects under the committee supervision have been prepared and turned over to WPA headquarters in San Francisco, it was reported. First Telephone In Wisser Family While looking for the oldest subscriber of the Gazette, an abundance of information has come to our attention among other things the fact that the first telephone installed in Anaheim was in the L. N. (Pete) Wisser home, and service to their home has been since uninterrupted. The Wissers live at 150 South Lemon Street. Firemen’s Meeting at Laguna Beach The regular meeting of the Orange County Firemen’s association was held in Laguna Beach last Monday night at which time Capt Paul T. Wolf, of the arson squad addressed the meeting on “Arson Its Cause and Prevention.” The meeting was opened by President W. M. “Buck” Fipps, or Santa Ana, who turned the meeting over to Assistant Chief R. D. Woodward, of Laguna Beach chairman of the entertainment committee. Miss Halmar Forres and J.

Dan Mulherron, Orange County manager of WPA, attended the meeting, but reported no new developments in the new works administration.

The Newport Beach fire department, under the leadership of Chief Frank Crocker, gave demonstration of new portable electric searchlight outfit that they take to fires to help illuminate the scene and assist the firepen in fighting the fire.

This project to serve: 1. 34,250 farms totaling approximately 4,300,000 acres, using electricity for pumping millions of acre feet of water for irrigation and for more than 200 other farm power operations. 2. 750,000 homes, 4,500 factories, 12,000 stores, hotels and commercial establishments. This project to be built and financed by: California citizens—100,000 of them—pooling their savings to purchase the material and to employ the tens of thousands of men required to build this great electric system. Suppose also that it had been announced that this development would be a vital factor in the creation of four billion dollars of new wealth in California. That in the course of 30 years this electric system alone would pay $50,000,000 in taxes, reaching in 1934 an annual tax payment of five million dollars for the support of government. Would such a project have been of interest to you? Would it have fired the imaginations of Californians? YET...lest we forget The above is but a brief description of the Southern California Edison Company, a great community enterprise which grew out of the cooperation and faith of tens of thousands of California citizens, and which today serves you with an abundant supply of low-cost electricity.

One Case Where Advertising Didn't Pay And, we might say neither did any of the 478 people who took advantage of the free offer for sandwiches at Al's Cafe last week. Mr. Ludwig, the genial cook, decided he'd serve a double purpose last week, help the Gazette celebrate its opening and at the same time check on the pulling power of the advertising columns. He ran a small coupon in connection with his regular ad, bought an extra loaf of bread and sat back to give us the horse laugh. But the old Chinese proverb came to our rescue, the one something about "he who laughs first enjoys it most" or some such. Anyway Ed cut himself a few extra slices of bread and cursed the idea as a bright one. Al wants to know, "Who's gonna pay the Father of Mrs. Jessie H.
