West assertedly had represented to Fanning to the extent of $5,000 by sponsoring action of the board of supervisors in refinancing the Broadway Improvement district at Laguna Beach, in which Fanning owned property.
2. That Supervisor West had solicited from E. Kenneth Wood of Riverside, who also had property interests in the Broadway Improvement district a sum of $200.

Citrus Strike Cited
3. That during the strike of citrus workers in 1936, West attended communist meetings at which he berated the sheriff and other peace officers, called the sheriff a dictator and urged "liberal" elements to oppose enforcement methods. Also that when the supervisors voted to declare an emergency to provide the sheriff with necessary men and equipment, West argued against it and voted "no."
4. That West was guilty of misconduct in office by accusing other officials of misusing public funds, of patronage and profiteering; and by generally impairing governmental efficiency through creating turmoil, agitation and discord.
The accusation charged that West committed the asserted acts "wilfully, unlawfully and corruptly."

Case Against Mills and Miller To Be Heard by Judge Dwight T. Hayden
Edward Mills and A. J. Miller will go to trial for the second time on charges of packing and shipping frozen fruit next Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Date of the trial was set yesterday afternoon by Acting Justice of the Peace Dwight T. Hayden at a hearing held in the council chamber of the city hall. The trial will be conducted in the same room.
The hearing yesterday was quiet and took but a few minutes. Defense attorneys S. B. Kaufman and William P. Webb requested a later trial date, but agreed to start the trial next week after Deputy Attorney Harold McCabe told the court the case could be completed in about 10 days.
Writ is Denied
Defense counsels' previous attempt to prevent Judge Hayden from occupying the bench during the case failed last Friday when Superior Judge George K. Scovel denied a petition for a peremptory writ of prohibition. The writ had been served on Judge Hayden January 10 a few minutes before the time previously set for the opening of the second trial of Mills and Miller.
Kaufman and Webb contended there is no law permitting a judge to disqualify himself upon the prosecution's motion, a contention that was overruled by Judge Scovel. Justice Charles Kuchel disqualified himself shortly after the close of the first trial.
Considerable discussion was also held relative to the prosecution's request for a change of venue, but it was pointed out that this request was not pressed by the district attorney's office at the hearing in which Judge Kuchel disqualified himself.

City Council Studies Plan But Takes No Action Tuesday Evening
Possibility of installing transmitters in the two police department prowl cars to provide two-way communication between the automobiles and the police station was discussed to some extent by the city council Tuesday evening, but no definite action was taken. The discussion by the Anaheim council was in line with other Orange county communities which are also studying the adaptability of installing transmitters police cars.
Use of the facilities of KGHX, orange county police radio station, is a feature of the plan now being considered by the trustees of the city. The Anaheim police station would be connected with a private leased wire and would equipped with a switch which would place the station here directly on the air. Under the present method of operation the Anaheim department telephones the radio station and the message is then broadcast. Police here have a way of knowing whether the message reached the person included until that officer reports back to the station either by telephone or personally.

A duck with a nose for money visited Anaheim early this week.

The duck was captured while wild and trained to his "career," Clark said.
Committee Urges Sewer Line Work
Communication Taken Under Advisement by Anaheim City Council
A new development relative to the two-year struggle to repair section two of the Orange county joint outfall sewer came to light in Anaheim Tuesday evening when the Anaheim city council received a communication recommending that such work be undertaken at once.

Negligence on the part of three persons caused or contributed to the death of two persons in and near Anaheim early this week a coroner's jury decided this week after hearing testimony regarding two traffic accidents. One of the three persons found negligent is dead from injuries received in a crash and another is facing charges of manslaughter for causing the death of a 77-year-old Anaheim woman.
Victims of the accidents were Mrs. Marie Agnes Bohr, 407 N. Philadelphia street, Anaheim, and Clyde Simpson, 45, of Norwalk. Mrs. Bohr met almost instant death about 7 o'clock Sunday evening when she was struck down by an automobile driven by Frank J. Ramirez, 19, 320 S. Rose street, Anaheim. Simpson died Monday morning at Anaheim Sanitarium two hours after a collision at Miller and Crescent roads, near Cypress, between his automobile and an Anaheim union high school bus driven by Ray G.

In the letter Whiteman pointed out that the local police station would have more direct connection with the county teletype system which is affiliated with the state-wide teletype system. The two-way radio would also provide closer contact between the local station and patrols of other communities if the arose.
Cost of installation and maintenance of a two-way radio communication system for the Anaheim police department would be negligible under the plan now being considered as compared with the establishing of complete individual station. Whiteman's letter declared. He did not, however, quote statistics.

It has been suggested that Fulton, and possibly other towns in the northern part of the countryside share the leased wire with Anaheim; thereby reducing proportionately the cost of installation and maintenance of the wire. Whiteman, in suggesting the option of the two-way system in each town, emphasized that the present system rather than the present equipment is antiquated.
