Miss Ward told police the burglary might have been in the house when she returned. She said she entered the back door, which was open, passed through the house and went out the front door to the mailbox. On returning she closed the front door and then she and her companion went out into the back yard for several minutes.

Definite information as to the plans of the Hillman and Long company, said to be the organization seeking leases, has not been obtained.

Andrade will honor the fifth wedding anniversary of the couple at a barbecue dinner at Irvine park next Tuesday evening. Only immediate members of the family will participate.

We Urge You to Vote Tuesday (An Editorial) There is a crying, urgent need nationally and locally, for more interest in government and in elections upon the part of the voter. On all sides of us is talk of weakness in the moral fibre of the republic, and of corruption and inefficiency among our public officials. Next Tuesday is the time provided for the remedy of such a condition. This August primary will, in a great sense, determine in whose hands will rest the controls of our government, county, state and federal, for the ensuing terms. He who votes next week will play his part in the choice of a county supervisor, a member of the state assembly, of the state senator and of the member in congress, whose respective districts will include this city and surrounding territory. Next January, the state legislature will convene in Sacramento, and the federal congress will meet in Washington. And the county supervisor for the coming term will have taken his place in Santa Ana. At that time, if history is any guide, the howl will go up—upon the part of some—against our elected officials. Again, if we still follow history, the howl will emanate from those who did not take time to vote in the preceding election. If a fraction of the time taken in condemning our legislative bodies, while they are in session, were spent in determining the ability and worth of the candidates whose names appear upon the August primary ballot, tremendous progress would be made in democratic government. The opportunity for making such progress comes with next Tuesday's election. Then it will go away for two years, in two instances, congress and the assembly; and four years in the other two, state senate and county supervisor. This is the time to anticipate the problems that lie ahead of us. Let us study our sample ballots with care. Let us determine who, for the respective offices, is best qualified to serve. Let's register our voice in this democracy next Tuesday. Mrs. Andrade were Anaheim Aug. 25, bride, before her marriagemiss Ella Padderatz,her Henry was the firstborn in Anaheim.

Members of the board of directors and other officers of the MWD were present and took an active part in the meeting. The principal business of the meeting was the answering by Franklin Thomas, chairman of the water problems committee of the MWD, of a series of questions prepared by county interests. These questions had to do with the cost of water, possibility of the county joining the district, and assurance of a sufficient water supply. Thomas declared the board was not yet ready to set a cost figure for water and that no area outside of the district would be able to purchase water. Four Anaheim Men Taken Into Custody Today As Bookmakers Four Anaheim men were arrested shortly before noon today and charged with pool-selling and bookmaking, in two raids made by Anaheim police, deputy sheriffs, and a district attorney investigator.

Burglaries Enter Cafe; Take $55 A second successful burglary in Anaheim Sunday night was reported to police Monday afternoon by V. B. Cunningham, when he informed police the Carta Blanca cafe, 329 E.

Deputy Sheriff R. R. Lutes checked the building for finger prints. Republicans To water problems committee of the MWD, of a series of questions prepared by county interests. These questions had to do with the cost of water, possibility of the county joining the district, and assurance of a sufficient water supply. Thomas declared the board was not yet ready to set a cost figure for water and that no area outside of the district would be able to purchase water. He also pointed out that the present policy of the board is to limit annexation to such areas as can be adequately served by the aqueduct, but that no time limit has been established for future annexation. Orange county itself is not eligible to join the MWD, Thomas declared. He informed the group that the county as a political subdivision does not fall within the terms of "municipality," "city," or "water district incorporated for the service of water" as required by the act. Nor is Orange county water district, as now organized, eligible for membership. He suggested that a new corporation be organized under the Public Utility district act, or one of the county water district acts, for the purpose of annexing the territory to the MWD. This corporation could include the entire county with the possbile exception of the present member cities. Obligations to the present cities in the MWD would not be increased, he said. In answer to the question of obtaining all necessary water Thomas said that under the present policy of limiting annexation there would be no danger of any part of the district being short of water. The speaker urged that a single unit join the district if feasible, otherwise there should be as few units as possible. Long discussion was held following Thomas' talk on the question of expense of water to the ranchers. The MWD officials declared repeatedly they were not yet ready to quote a figure, but indicated that the cost of water would be reasonable. A definite statement might be available within a few weeks, it was said.

Long discussion was held following Thomas’ talk on the question of expense of water to the ranchers. The MWD officials declared repeatedly they were not yet ready to quote a figure, but indicated that the cost of water would be reasonable. A definite statement might be available within a few weeks, it was said. The group voted to request the Orange County water district to continue with its study of the situation and to have committees from the Associated Chambers of Commerce and the Coast association work in conjunction with the water district. The Coast association, in a short business session, went on record as favoring the tide-land drilling legislation. Elsewhere in this issue will be found the complete answers to the questions discussed at the meeting.
