Government officials have declared that if the bond issue is carried the federal government will spend an additional approximate $13,000,000 on the project. The issue is not a new one. Three previous elections have been held in the past several years, all of which were defeated. All were for considerably more money than is now asked of county residents, however. Eight Dams Sought Eight dams are proposed in the project to be voted upon. They will be designated as Prado, Santiago, Brea, Fullerton, Carbon, San Juan, Aliso and Trabueo. In reality, seven new dams are proposed while one already built, at Santiago, will be enlarged. Prado dam will be located on the Santa Ana river, the others on creeks bearing the name of the proposed dam.

Merchants Back Water Proposal Vote Taken at Conclusion of Talk This Morning by Harry D. Riley Harry D. Riley, third district supervisor, this morning urged members of the Anaheim Merchants association to make every possible effort to insure the passage of the $2,500,000 flood control and water conservation bond issue next Tuesday. At the conclusion of Riley's talk the association went on record as favoring the adoption of the issue. The supervisor gave a list of 11 reasons why he believes the bonds should be voted. They were: (1) flood protection is needed, (2) water conservation is needed, (3) Fruit Inspectors Rapped by Mills During Testimony Condemnation of Oranges Argued Before Judge. Ames: This Week "Fruit condemned here by inspectors as beyond the tolerance of the standardization laws has been taken to Los Angeles, passed by inspectors there and sold at the auction center for the best prices of the day," Edward Mills, manager of the Anaheim Community Growers and one of the defendants in a hearing before Superior Judge Homer Ames to condemn more than 900 boxes of oranges, testified yesterday. Mills, from the witness stand, denied assertions made Tuesday that he attempted to "chisel" growers of the fruit by telling them it would be sold to by-products and then attempting to pack it and sell it on the open market. Rather, the manager testified, the growers were told that the oranges would be sold on the open market for what they would bring. Explode Bombshells Two bombshells were exploded at the hearing during and immediately after Mills' testimony. The first when when the witness charged Inspector N. P. Byrd with unfairness, declaring that he told Herbert Miller of the Western Fruit Growers that "unless we get a fair inspector, instead of Byrd, Anaheim will not shim much fruit." Iago, Brea, Fullerton, Carbon, San Juan, Aliso and Trabuco. In reality, seven new dams are proposed while one already built, at Santiago, will be enlarged. Prado dam will be located on the Santa Ana river, the others on creeks bearing the name of the proposed dam. Prado dam will handle a run off from 2280 square miles, engineers declare, and will be 100 feet in height. The thickness of the dam will be 950 feet and the capacity for control 180,000 acre feet. All water would be released to spreading grounds. Enlarge Santiago Thirty feet would be added to the height of the present Santiago dam, which handles the run off from 63 square miles, the thickness is 900 feet and the capacity for control 60,000 acre feet. It would be able to store 25,000 acre feet. The reservoir resulting from the Brea dam would control 3,300 acre feet and store 1,000 acre feet, handling run off from 25 square miles. It would be 85 feet in height and 550 feet thick. Fullerton dam would handle run off from five square miles, be 45 feet in height and 300 feet thick. Its capacity for control would be 1,680 acre feet and all water would be released to spreading grounds. Spread Water Water would also be released to spreading grounds by the Carbon and SanJuan dams, with the former having a control capacity of 2,500 acre feet and the latter 25,-000 acre feet. Carbon dam run off area is 13 square miles, the height would be 120 feet and thickness 750 feet. San Juan's run off area is 107 square miles. Its height would be 116 feet and thickness 730 feet.

Trabuco dam will handle a run off from 32 square miles, will be 100 feet in height and 650 feet in width. Its control capacity will be 3,900 acre feet and all water will be released to spreading grounds. Precincts Listed Eight precincts have been established in Anaheim and one each in West Anaheim and East Anaheim. Precinct 80 will vote at Carl F. Metz' garage, 307 W. members of the Anaheim Merchants association to make every possible effort to insure the passage of the $2,500,000 flood control and water conservation bond issue next Tuesday. At the conclusion of Riley's talk the association went on record as favoring the adoption of the issue. The supervisor gave a list of 11 reasons why he believes the bonds should be voted. They were: (1) flood protection is needed, (2) water conservation is needed, (3) people need the work, (4) merchants need the business, (5) the cost to the people is one-sixth of the total, (6) the work will be safe, (7) the cost will equal one year's county taxes, but will be spread over 20 years, (8) the county spent more money since 1916 in repairs than the total cost of the project, (9) project will aid future growth, (10) the money will be spent elsewhere if not here, and (11) the county will never have another opportunity to get the project at such a low cost. Describes Dams Riley gave a brief description of each of the proposed eight dams and the Loftus diversion channel, telling the size and approximate cost of each. The county must vote the bond issue of $2,500,000 to permit the federal government to proceed with its plans, the speaker pointed out. About three years will be required to complete the project, he declared. The dams will be of the earth-filled type, which Riley said are the safest and most economical to construct. Each will be faced with hand-laid stone. All work will be done under the direction of the United States army engineers and Orange county labor will be used wherever possible, the speaker said. Valuation Tripled Riley outlined briefly the history of previous floods in Orange county and revealed that assessed valuation of county property had tripled since 1916 when the last disastrous flood inundated the county. Population in the county has doubled since that time, he said. The speaker concluded his remarks with the statement that at previous elections opposition had been organized. "There is no organized opposition this time, but we must be sure that the bonds are voted by a large majority," he declared. Explode Bombshells Two bombshells were exploded at the hearing during and immediately after Mills' testimony. The first when when the witness charged Inspector N. P. Byrd with unfairness, declaring that he told Herbert Miller of the Western Fruit Growers that "unless we get a fair inspector, instead of Byrd, Anaheim will not ship much fruit this year." The second came as Mills was leaving the stand when he was served by a warrant of arrest by state agriculture department officers. The warrant originated in Pomona. John Etchandy, another defendant, verified Mills' testimony that the fruit was to have been sold on the open market rather than by-products. Fruther verification of Mills' statement came from Alex Jones, of the Western Fruit Growers, who was called as a prosecution witness. Inspector on Stand Principal witness during this morning's session was Joe Highower, state inspector who signed the petition asking for condemnation of the fruit. Most of his testimony covered event leading up to his court action. He declared that Jones agreed to unpack the fruit from refrigerator cars and send it to by-products plants. Laws Discussed by Assemblyman A review of activities in the recent state legislature was given by Assemblyman Thomas H. Kuchel at the meeting of the Anaheim Rotary club Monday noon. M. A. Gauer, program chairman, introduced the speaker. The state's old age security law and its tax structure was praised by the assemblyman.

SOL-GAS, PRODUCED IN ANAHEIM, FILLS NEEDS OF RURAL RESIDENTS What do the residents of the rural communities and farms of Orange county use for fuel to cook, heat water and keep their dwellings warm in the winter? Harry L. Horn, dealer in gas appliances and former agent for a large oil company in the sale of tanked gas, has supplied the answer in a large number of cases. More people are steadily turning to him for the answer to their own needs. The answer is Sol-gas, a product manufactured in Anaheim by Horn and distributed to his customers from the plant here. The Anaheim merchant entered the gas business for himself only a Suspect Caught As Extortionist Fullerton Youth Arrested Today by Police Chief James S. Bouldin Joe Basabe, 26, also of Fullerton, was arrested in Anaheim about 2 o'clock this afternoon as McConaughy's accomplice. He admitted taking part in the crime, but said McConaughy had placed the telephone call. Both men were arraigned this afternoon and preliminary hearing was set for Wednesday morning at 9:30 o'clock. Ball was set at $10,000. An extortion attempt was halted few weeks ago after representing for many years a major oil company. Starting on a small scale, Horn soon found he couldn't supply equipment as rapidly as people sought the gas. Three Products Sol-gas is the result of bleeding normal butane, isobutane and propane. The manufacturer claims it burns with three times the heat of natural gas. It is sold at a rate comparable to that of natural gas furnished by large public utilities and is considerably less expensive than other artificial gas produced by oil companies. Produced in Orange county, Sol-gas is sold largely within the county. Routes have been established throughout the county over which Horn's distributors travel once a month to resupply each customer. Each customer leases two tanks, normally of a capacity of 100 pounds, one of which is held in reserve in case the supply in the first tank is exhausted before the end of the month. 50-Pound Pressure The gas formed from the liquid in the tank has a pressure of 50 pounds when released, but is immediately cut down to one-half pound, the same as natural gas, before it is consumed. In addition to rural residences, school buildings, small businesses and other outlets of similar size, Sol-gas is used on many of the boats at Newport harbor and is also sold on a small scale to trailer owners.
