Tubbs Declared Over Technical
Citrus Standardization Law Enforcement Too Rigid In Orange County
Charging that Agricultural Commissioner D. W. Tubbs enforces citrus standardization laws too strictly in Orange county, two growers Tuesday demanded that the board of supervisors investigate Tubbs' activities.
Tubbs replied he would be glad to help in an investigation into the fairness of his law administration, and would make an records of his office available. Supervisors said they would investigate but set no time for a formal hearing.
"Cracks Down"
"Mr. Tubbs takes the position that he must enforce the letter of the law," said F. P. Rosselot. "On sugar tests that should run 8 to 1, we have to make it 8½ to 1 to be safe from Mr. Tubbs.
"If it varies—say runs 7.9 to 1, he cracks down on us."
He said he felt that justice should have a place, even if it is against the law.
Harry O. Easton, manager of the Placentia-Orange county exchange, complained of arrests of packing house managers for handling fruit running 7.9 to 1 in tests.
Laxness Elsewhere
Supervisor John Mitchell, committee over Tubbs' office, reported that A. A. Brock, state director of agriculture, was forced to send his own men into San Bernardino and Riverside counties because of lax enforcement during the freeze.
Tubbs said some lots of frost damaged fruit, which he had with a brief review of bills which he introduced during the first part of the session, most of which dealt with educational problems.
The Anaheim man also discussed to some extent the Huntington Beach oil situation, declaring that he, as well as other Orange county legislators, were making every attempt to obtain a portion of the return from the pool for the county and the city of Huntington Beach.
The tax structure of the state was also touched upon by Kuchel, who said that several measures have been introduced to alter the present structure. He pointed out that a proposed severance tax would open the door to abuses and that a reduction of only one-half cent in the sales tax would deprive the state of a large amount of revenue which would have to be replaced by some other tax.
Favors Conservation
The speaker closed his remarks with a definite statement that he favored any legislation pointing toward conservation of natural resources.
Assemblyman Watson also spoke briefly on the sardine bill, which he said he favored. He also declared he had introduced a measure seeking to establish a fish preserve off Orange county shores.
Several liquor control bills have been introduced, the speaker said, and discussed briefly the measure which would regulate the number of licenses issued and provide that the boards of supervisors and city councils would have the final decision as to whether certain licenses would be issued.
As a method of giving more protection to citrus and avocado growers, Watson also introduced a bill reducing the grand theft minimum from $300 to $200.
Safety Progress
Activity of the California Safety Council is seeking a program to reduce traffic accidents was discussed by Lowney, who declared the important feature of the council's program was that no new tax would be levied and no new department organized.
The group passed a resolution introduced by George Kellogg, chairman of the highway committee, to ask the state to use the Coast highway as an experimental area in the state's extensive tests of sodium lights for highway purposes.
Warren Schutz, young Anaheim attorney, was the speaker at Tuesday's meeting of the Kiwanis club, discussing the proposed legislation to alter the supreme court.
Schutz, who said he had always been a Democrat, strongly disfavors President Roosevelt's effort to "pack the supreme court". The supreme court, the speaker said, is higher than the President. It is in integral part of the constitution, which was written in such a manner as to provide a system of checks and balances among the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the government.
Schutz disputed Roosevelt's contention that men past 70 were incapable of handling the work of a supreme court justice, that additions to the court would speed up its work and that 87 percent of the cases in the supreme court were never passed.

Laxness Elsewhere
Supervisor John Mitchell, committee over Tubbs' office, reported that A. A. Brock, state director of agriculture, was forced to send his own men into San Bernardino and Riverside counties because of lax enforcement during the freeze.
Tubbs said some lots of frost damaged fruit, which he had passed, later were stopped by other inspectors and condemned, after the cost of hauling had been added.
He said he would be happy to ignore tolerances in the law if he felt it the fair thing to do.

Watch, Wallet Stolen Monday
Theft of a $40 man's pocket watch and a wallet containing $15 was reported to Anaheim police yesterday by R. A. Grigsby, 509 E. Adelaide street.
The executive board passed a resolution accepting the recommendations of the engineers' committee which was appointed two weeks ago. The program of reconstruction is based upon that report.
The engineers' report revealed that 10,500 feet of section two is in poor condition and must be replaced at once. An additional 9,100 feet is declared to be doubtful and 9,900 feet is reported to be in fair condition. Both 36-inch pipe and 27-inch pipe are included in these figures.
Cost Estimated
The executive board will recommend to the various cities and sanitary districts that the entire 5.6 miles of line, of which 18,000 feet is of 30-inch pipe and 11,500 feet of 27-inch pipe, be rebuilt using vitrified clay pipe and acid-resisting joints and manhole lining. The estimated cost of such work is $190,000, which with PWA assistance on the basis of a 45 percent grant would reduce this to $104,500; Anaheim's share would be $28,455.
The board will also recommend that an engineer who is familiar with PWA forms and procedures be employed to prepare as soon as possible an application for PWA grant for the reconstruction work. The fees of the engineer would be based upon the scale of the American Society of Civil Engineers and would be included in the cost of the entire project.
Should WPA assistance not be obtainable in time to be of benefit an alternate program will be recommended. That program includes the immediate replacement of 10,500 feet of the line described as poor at a cost of $64,000 which would be born by the member towns. Anaheim's share of this cost would be 17,427.
City Given Power
The board also passed another resolution empowering the city of Anaheim, as contracting city, to prepare the WPA application and to employ the additional engineering talent. The resolution also requested that the member towns prepare a statement as to how and when their share would be paid in event the recommendations were accepted. This procedure would meet government requirements that project sponsors have their share of the cost of a project available. It further
