Truslow avenue, Fullerton, received injuries which caused his death three-quarters of an hour later, Fullerton police reported.

He was struck by an automobile driven by Pete M. Flores, 24, of 226 E. Truslow street, Fullerton. According to police reports, Flores was driving slowly down the alley north of Truslow avenue when the child ran out of his yard into the alley to see the train. He ran from behind a building directly into the path of Flores' car and one front wheel passed over his body. Flores immediately stopped his car and with the aid of the child's mother and a neighbor placed the youngster into his car and rushed him to the office of a Fullerton physician.

Inspectors Testify Ely and Inspector N. P. Byrd were state's witnesses at the opening of the court tria, yesterday. Both testified that inspection of fruit being shipped by Mills showed damage from frost amounting to 30 per cent. This testimony was refuted shortly afterward when J. Wolstencroft, manager of the Walnut Fruit association and a member of the California Fruit Growers exchange, testified he had cut several hundred of the questioned oranges yesterday and found only 14.4 per cent frost damage. Wolstencroft's testimony carried weight in that he had been appointed by Judge White to make the inspection and to testify as an expert witness. Expert Cuts Fruit Wolstencroft made his inspection at the pre-cooling plant where the fruit has been stored since early in July in the presence of the judge and state inspectors. The trial moved from the courtroom to the plant for the inspection. Finding that the questioned fruit qualifies at this time under the state standardization laws is declared by fruit experts to be almost certain proof that the fruit was within the limits when first cut last July. They declared that fruit deteriorates as it becomes older. The trial was continued at the end of the day's testimony until next Monday morning.

Club's Members Furnish Program Members of the club participated in an informal meeting of the Anaheim Kiwanis club at the Elks clubhouse Tuesday noon, with talks by Rudolph Boysen, Oon Winans and Roy Helsing providing the main part of the program. Boysen told the juvenile softball team sponsored by the club and announced that he plans application for federal aid, that the council take immediate steps towards the financing of the city's share of the expense of reconstruction, and that the engineering committee composed of E. P. Hapgood, Grover L. Walters, C. C. Bonebrake and John B. Sanks, continue to act as supervising committee for the work. Hapgood is city engineer for Anaheim, Walters is head of the water department for Fullerton, Bonebrake is Orange city engineer, and Sanks is city engineer for La Habra. Cost is $127,000 Total cost of the project is estimated at $127,000. Anaheim's share without federal aid under the present ownership would be $34,582.10. If federal aid is received this city's share would be $17,624.62. Should Orange withdraw as it indicated it would, Anaheim would have to pay $47-523.40 if PWA aid is not received and $24,220.10 if aid is received. The council also received formal notification from the Metropolitan Water district that the tax rate for the coming year will be 40 cents per $100. The rate includes 35 cents for bond, interest and sinking fund and five cents for operating expenses. A three-cent increase was made for the coming fiscal year over the past. This increase was necessary to cover interest charges on the additional amounts being invested in construction work, district officials pointed out. Ordinance Passed The rate was previously estimated at 45 cents, but close study of the requirements of the district for the year enabled the board of directors to lower the figure to 40 cents, it was said. District officials estimated this week that Anaheim's share of the expense for the next year will be slightly more than $35,000, with the other two cities of the county holding membership, Santa Ana and Fullerton, providing about $152,000 together. Ordinance No. 610, empowering the city council to establish the city's tax rate on or before the fourth Tuesday of September was read for the second time and passed. The ordinance amended a previous ordinance which required that the tax rate be set on the second Tuesday of September. Anaheim's share of maintenance section one of the sewer line for July was $859.02; it was revealed.

The two were arrested Saturday evening and booked for intoxication. Monday morning disturbing the peace charges were brought against both. They first pleaded not guilty to both charges, but changed their pleas to guilty when the drunk charge was withdrawn. Probation Given To Extortionists Probation was granted last Friday by Superior Judge James L. Allen to Clyde McConaughy and Joe Basabe, both of Fullerton, on condition they each spend six months in the county jail. Probation was for a term of five years. The men had previously pleaded guilty to a charge of attempting to obtain $1,000 from John Wollenman on threat to break his business and ruin his family. They were arrested in Anaheim shortly after the threat. Wollenman, employer of McConaughy, appeared before Judge Allen Friday and pleaded leniency for the two youths.
