Sewer Proposal is Presented by Anaheim Council Tentative Plan for Repair of Section Two Ready for Consideration A meeting of cities and sanitary districts holding membership in section two of the joint outfall sewer district is expected to be called within the next week or two to discuss the tentative proposal for reconstruction of all or part of the line which has been formulated by the city of Anaheim. Leo J. Sheridan, Anaheim councilman and chairman of the executive board of the district, last Wednesday night presented verbally Anaheim's proposal and since that time the Anaheim council has prepared more details of the plan which will be submitted to all member cities and sanitary districts within the near future. Hope for Solution The proposal will be made in the hopes of breaking the existing deadlock relative to the reconstruction of about half of the line. The deadlock was brought about by Orange's declaration it wishes to withdraw from the joint district and establish its own treatment plant, a lead which was followed last week by La Habra. The latter city, however, has not Swenerton will Serve as Head of Ministerial Union The Anaheim Ministerial union will be directed for the next year by the Rev. R.

Schauer will be the speaker at the union Thanksgiving service to be held next Thursday at 10 o'clock at the Bethel Baptist church. An offering will be taken to be given to the city welfare Christmas fund. An anti-narcotic union meeting will be held at Bethel Baptist church November 28, tickets for which were distributed yesterday. G. O. P. Conclave Slated in Spring Republican Central Group Approves Pre-Primary Party Gathering Republican of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties which comprised the nineteenth congressional district will meet for a pre-preliminary convention during the first week of next March. Plans for the conclave were discussed last night by about Senior Class of High School to Give Production "The Royal Family" Will Be Presented Tomorrow at Auditorium One of the most pretentious student productions ever offered at Anaheim union high school will be presented tomorrow evening when the senior students of the high school give as their class play, "The Royal Family." Curtain for the production is scheduled for 8 o'clock. Although "The Royal Family" is one of the most difficult plays attempted by Anaheim high school Mrs. Faye Kern Schulz, dramatics instructor and director of the play, declared yesterday, "I believe that the cast selected is suited for this production. Each student fits well the role which he or she will portray and I am confident 'The Royal Family' will be as successful as any play we have offered." Theatrical Family The story of "The Royal Family" deals with the activities of a theatrical family which includes the grandmother, her son, her daughter and her granddaughter. It is a comedy in three acts that is filled with unusual, amusing situations and includes an interesting and entertaining love-story. Hope for Solution The proposal will be made in the hopes of breaking the existing deadlock relative to the reconstruction of about half of the line. The deadlock was brought about by Orange's declaration it wishes to withdraw from the joint district and establish its own treatment plant, a lead which was followed last week by La Habra. The latter city, however, has not given official, written notice of its intentions. Verbal notification was given to the executive board last Wednesday by City Attorney Harold McCabe. Anaheim's tentative proposal is divided into three parts. The first proposal is that the city of Anaheim will reconstruct two and three-quarters miles of section two and pay all of the sponsor's costs under a WPA project. To enable Anaheim to take that step all other members must quit claim all their interest in the line to Anaheim. The proposal further provides that the present owners may rent space in the line for a period of five years, and Anaheim also agrees to sell back to the owners within 10 years their present percentage of ownership. Figures Not Set The basis of rental of the line will be determined on a percentage of construction costs plus the percentage of annual flow. The basis of resale will be percentage of the cost of reconstruction less a certain percentage of depreciation. These percentages have not been definitely established and will not until all members of the line reach an accord, it was said. The second proposal provides that the cities of Anaheim and Fullerton and all others that so desire join in the reconstruction of that portion of the line on the same basis. The third proposal is that Anaheim and Fullerton and other owners desiring to participate reconstruct the entire 5.6 miles of the line and rent space or resell ownership under the same plan as in other proposals. The estimated cost to the sponsors if a WPA grant is obtained for the project for the reconstruction of two and three-fourths of the line is $82,000. For reconstruction of the entire line the estimated cost is $138,000. Republican Central Group Approves Pre-Primary Party Gathering Republican of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties which comprised the nineteenth congressional district will meet for a pre-preliminary convention during the first week of next March. Plans for the conclave were discussed last night by about thirty members of the Republican county central committee and Republican assembly. The meeting was held in Santa Ana. It has not been determined yet where the convention will be held. Application have already been received from the chambers of commerce of Anaheim, Fullerton, Riverside and San Bernardino. It is reported that the Santa Ana chamber of commerce may also seek the convention. More than 15,000 persons from the three counties will attend the conclave. Employ Coordinator A resolution adopted at the meeting last night authorizes two members of the county central committee, the Republican assembly and the Republican women of Orange county to employ a county coordinator who will organize members of the Republican party in every precinct in Orange county for the pre-primary convention.
