EXVIII First Red Cross Awards Will Be Granted Tonight Rehabilitating of Homes To Start Before End of Coming Week Work of repairing or reconstructing homes in Anaheim under the Red Cross rehabilitation program will be under way before the end of next week. The first meeting of the Anaheim advisor board will be held either late this afternoon or this evening. These announcements were made this morning by D. A. Handy, Red Cross building advisor and Mrs. Katherine Edwards, case supervisor. Several cases which have been completely investigated by case workers will be presented to the advisory board for consideration today. They will be studied by the board and Red Cross officials on an award determined, opening the way for start of reconstruction or repair as the case requires.

Starts Construction of New Precooler Construction work has been started on a new 42-car precooler by the Anaheim Valencia Orange association, Manager G. W. Sandilands announced today. The association will borrow the money and pay for the precooler out of money saved by doing the work of refrigeration themselves, Sandilands said. In that way there will be no cost to the growers. Investigation by the association was found that fruit that is immediately precooled to proper temperatures arrives in the market in the best shape. Other advantages were also found to exist by ownership of a precooler, Sandilands said. Prompt Start On Sewer Is Assured Council Passes Emergency Resolution Permitting Immediate Buying Anaheim, as contracting city for section two of the joint outfall sewer district, is in a position to start immediately reconstruction of the line as soon as Washington officials approve an application for a WPA grant for that purpose.

H. Power sales manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, and E. Isham, Mutual Orange District butors official, told 800 growers who attended the annual Orange county citrus institute here last Friday. The four reasons are: 1. Fruit apparently of good quality. 2. Government is purchasing surplus for relief purposes. 3. Export movement to be increased. 4. Economists predict improvement in purchasing power of the eastern population centers during next summer. Large Crop Predicted These four points more than offset the large crop, estimated at 55,000 cars, the speakers said. In discussing problems caused in orchards by the recent flood Harold E. Wahlberg, farm adviser urged quick action in handling silted trees that are subject to gum disease infection. Subject d Advance Work Done Much of the preliminary work of inspection of homes by Handy and the city's building inspector R. Nybce, has been completed. This inspection determines the amount of damage done to dwellings by the flood and the work required to restore the house to its condition before the inundation. In determining the extent of the work required the health, sanitation, fire and building codes are all definitely followed. Nybce and not the Red Cross officials determine whether a dwelling can be repaired or must be reconstructed. Beneficiaries will be notified before next Monday of awards which will be made toward. They will be notified to bring a contractor of their own choice to Red Cross headquarters where the requirements will be discussed and a contract signed between the beneficiary and the contractor. When the job of reconstruction or repair is complete the Red Cross and city building inspector inspects the work and passes upon it. If the job is approved the Red Cross orders payment for the contractor. Inspections Delayed Handy has not yet been able to inspect the building requirements in the Mexican settlements. He expects to start that work within a few days when city and county officials complete their inspection of the area. Nybce, with the assistance of C. W. O'Flyng of the county health department, has posted many houses in the area with signs prohibiting occupation or repair of dwellings until requirements of the building and sanitation codes are met. "I would like to express my appreciation to city, county and WPA officials, local contractors and supply men for their cooperation in aiding my work here," Handy said. "Property owners here also deserve credit for cleaning out their homes prior to my inspections." Thomas H. Kuchel Speaker at Club Guest speaker at Tuesday's Council Passes Emergency Resolution Permitting Immediate Buying Anaheim, as contracting city for section two of the joint outfall sewer district, is in a position to start immediately reconstruction of the line as soon as Washington officials approve an application for a WPA grant for that purpose. The city opened the way for immediate action Tuesday evening when the council passed an emergency resolution authorizing the purchase of materials and equipment for that purpose without first advertising for bids. A second resolution was adopted by the council accepting an easement deed from the Community Industrial Land company for the purpose of extending North Olive street and Commercial street in the industrial tract. Seeks Zone Variance An application for a zone variance, filed by Aaron R. Gonzales, was referred to the city planning commission. Gonzales asks permission to use a vacant building at 426 S. Palm street for a small neighborhood grocery. The building is owned by Esther Figueroa and is a single-family residence zone. Supporting Gonzales' application was a petition signed by many residents of the neighborhood asking that the variance be granted. Anaheim's share of maintenance of section one of the joint outfall sewer district during February was $204.45. Maintenance Engineer McBride of Santa Ana reported. The two boilers at the city plunge were inspected recently and found to be in excellent condition, a report of the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection & Insurance company told dte council. WPA Controversy Appears Settled Charges and counter-charges have been hurled in abundance in Orange county during the past week relative to the county's WPA organization. Most of the turmoil has been in the ranks of the Democratic party. Large Crop Predicted These four points more than offset the large crop, estimated at 55,000 cars, the speakers said. In discussing problems caused in orchards by the recent flood Harold E. Wahlberg, farm adviser urged quick action in handling silted trees that are subject to gum disease infection. Silt deposited at the base of the tree should be removed at the earliest possible time to reduce infestation by the fungus that is present in the soil. A. M. Boyce, entomologist from the citrus experiment station, reported the perfection of dinitol phenol dusts to be used in combatting red spider, a pest which heavily infested Orange county citrus orchards last year. Fertilization Discussed Nitrogen and organic matter are limiting fertilizer elements in citrus production, according to D. Chapman, citrus experiment station, who spoke on "Facts about Fancies in Citrus Fertilization." Nitrates are leachable and need replenishment while phosphorus and potash supplied in the soil are comparatively fixed and are usually abundant enough for these needs, especially where manure or its substitutes are regular applied. The citrus industry will take advantage of the recent findings Dr. H. S. Fawcett in the cause a spread of scaly bark disease in citrus trees, E. R. Parker, home culturist of the experiment station said. It is a virus disease spread through bud propagation from diseased trees. Conservative irrigation that provides adequate water supplies to the tree has given the best yield and returns per acre. This statement was made by M. R. Huber division of irrigation, University of California, in reporting irrigation practice for citrus production. For Orange county conditions normal mature citrus trees actually use from 14 to 16 acre-inchies water an acre. Three Men Seek GOP Nominations Thomas H. Kuchel Speaker at Club Guest speaker at Tuesday's meeting of the Anaheim Kiwanis club was Assemblyman Thomas H. Kuchel. He told of the accomplishments of the recent special session of the legislature, stressing particularly the $5,000,000 flood relief bill which he introduced. The speaker also compared the recent flood in Anaheim with the one of 1862 of which his father, the late Henry Kuchel, told him much. James Greene, public relations director for the state board of equalization, will be the speaker next Tuesday. He will discuss the sales tax and its relation to the state educational system. Infant is Called by Death Here Tuesday Martin LeRoy Hutain, seven-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Hutain of Wilmington, former Anaheim residents, died early Tuesday evening at the home of relatives on Lincoln avenue, west of Anaheim. Funeral services will be conducted from Backs, Terry & Campbell chapel tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Interment will be in the family plot in Holy Cross cemetery. WPA Controversy Appears Settled Charges and counter-charges have been hurled in abundance in Orange county during the past week relative to the county's WPA organization. Most of the turmoil has been in the ranks of the Democratic party. The trouble apparently centered around a number of so-called "politically-appointed office holders and the result in brief appears to be that the U.S. army will control activities of the WPA in Orange county in the future. A mammoth "place conference" was held Monday evening at Orange with the result that everyone except some who lost their jobs, are satisfied. Applications for Ballots Received City Clerk Charles E. Griffith is now receiving applications for absentee ballots for the municipal election to be held April 12. April 7 is the last day for filing applications. Requests for absentee ballots must be made in writing to Griffith, the city clerk said. Anaheim’s Fund for Flood Relief $4552 Anaheim residents have contributed $4552 to the Red Cross flood relief fund, City Clerk Charles E. Griffith, who is receiving contributions, reports. The above total does not include contributions made today. Three Men Seek GOP Nominations Three men are in the field of Republican nomination for congressmen from the 19th district. Each will seek endorsement at the party's convention at Riverside in April. In the race will be Mayor C. Johnson of San Bernardino, R.T. Webb, Townsend candidate and Lotus H. Loudon, Anaheim publisher. Townsend club members hope for a coalition of the new Townsend party with the Republic party with the hope of nomination and electing Webb. Harry Shaard, incumbent elected by Townsend forces, is not looked upon with favor by the organization. Three Permits for New Roofs Grant Three building permits were sued during the past week having a total valuation of $575. All will for re-roof work, while one will for alterations of a dwelling addition to the new roof. Permits were granted to Mrs. W. Click, 411 N. Philadelphia street, Jessie Arriold, 225 E. Palma avenue, and R. N. Croft 718 S. Philadelphia street. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1938 Us Growers Couraged Over Season's Outlook Nativecs' Officials See Red Returns In Spite of Large Crop Growers have four reasons being optimistic the com­munity season, T. H. Powell, manager of the California growers Exchange, and A. L. Munual Orange Distri­tional, told 800 growers ended the annual Orange citrus institute here last four reasons are: 1.

That houses be raised and Merriam Surveys Flood Loss Here Governor Pays Quiet Visit To Anaheim Friday But Makes No Comment Governor Frank F. Merriam paid a visit to Anaheim late Friday afternoon to personally inspect the amount of damage done in this city by the flood of three weeks ago. The governor, accompanied by Arlin E. Stockburger, director of the department of finance, arrived at the city hall shortly before 5 o'clock without previously having streets surfaced and curbed. 3. That beautification of these districts be carried out in conformity with the rest of the city. 4. That a recreation area be provided for the Mexican population. 5. That the building code be strictly enforced. 6. That sanitary conditions be investigated and restrictions rigidly enforced. Relocation Impossible The committee also studied the possibility of moving the settle­ments to a new location, but found that to be impossible for a number of reasons. The foremost reason was that the Mexicans did not wish to be relocated. Secondly, no location suitable for the purpose could be found in the city. Thirdly, no funds are available for purchase of new property to replace lots already owned by Mexican families. The directors also adopted a resolution describing the damage done to the joint outfall sewer by the recent flood and requesting that the state grant $315,000 of its flood relief fund of the purpose of reconstructing the sewer. This resolution is essentially the same as adopted by member cities of the joint outfall sewer district.

Merriam paid a visit to Anaheim late Friday afternoon to personally inspect the amount of damage done in this city by the flood of three weeks ago. The governor, accompanied by Arlin E. Stockburger, director of the department of finance, arrived at the city hall shortly before 5 o'clock without previously having announced his intentions. They were accompanied in their inspection tour by Harry Jayne, city assessor, and held a short conference with City Engineer E. P. Hapgood after completing the survey. The officials were in Anaheim only a short time. Governor Merriam gave no indication whether the city's request for a portion of the new state fund of $5,000,000 for flood relief would be granted, Hapgood said. The fund was established as the result of a bill introduced at the recent special session of the recent special session of the legislature by Assemblyman Thamos H. Kuchel of Anaheim. City Seeks Two Grants Anaheim is seeking two grants from the state fund. One is for $45,000 for repair of principal streets and the other, in cooperation with other county cities, asks for $315,000 for reconstruction of the joint outfall sewer district's lines. Both applications were sent to Governor Merriam and Stockburger following a conference last week between Mayor Charles H. Mann and the director of the state department of finance. The city had another official visitor when Col. Donald Connelly, WPA administrator for this area, surveyed the flood damage here Saturday morning. Connelly has approved the sewer district's application to WPA for $145,000 to insure the reconstruction of damaged sewer lines. The application has been sent to Washington.

This resolution is essentially the same as adopted by member cities of the joint outfall sewer district. Seek State Money Another resolution, worded similarly as the one recently adopted by the city, asking for $45,000 of the state flood relief fund for the repair of La Palma avenue and Palm street was also adopted. After considering Supervisor Riley's request for an expression of sentiment relative to creating a fund of $19,000 for an exhibit in the San Francisco fair, the directors voted to oppose the fund. The directors also adopted a resolution commending city officials and employees for the work they have done and will continue to do as the result of the disaster. Resolutions from the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce and the Orange County Coast association were read and discussed. It was decided to instruct Secretary John Morgan to answer them and thank the organizations for their interest.

The occasion was the regular meeting of the 12th district of the state organization. Principal speaker of the evening was Leroy Ackley, vice chairman of the southwest region of the National Association of Real Estate boards. He gave a Sewer Criticism Answered Today, By City Engineer No Health Menace at Ocean From Sewage; Hapgood Reveals Tests Criticism of the joint outfall sewer district by the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce was answered today by City Engineer E. P. Hapgood in an interview with a representative of the Anaheim Gazette. Hapgood is expected to make the same statement this afternoon at a meeting of chamber of commerce, city and county officials being held at Fullerton. The beach city organization has charged that a menace to public health has been established by disposing of sewage into the ocean between Huntington Beach and Newport-Balboa. Individual treatments plants for inland cities will be sought by the Huntington Beach chamber, it is reported. Denies Health Menace Hapgood flatly denied there is a health menace. Recent tests along the shore of the ocean revealed less contamination from the outfall than from the Huntington Beach sewer. This is accomplished by reason of the fact that all sewage from the joint outfall system is being thoroughly chlorinated before it enters the river. County Seeks Aid From State, WPA County officials today are awaiting decision by state authorities on the county's application for $1,068,400 to be used for repair of flood damaged roads and flood control works. The application was submitted late last week. Orange county asked for $826,000 in WPA funds for the flood control work in addition.

August Jungkeit Called by Death August Jungkeit, 57, a resident on Magnolia road near Orange avenue for more than 17 years, passed away last evening at his be sought by the Huntington Beach chamber, it is reported. Denies Health Menace Hapgood flatly denied there is a health menace. Recent tests along the shore of the ocean revealed less contamination from the outfall than from the Huntington Beach sewer. This is accomplished by reason of the fact that all sewage from the joint outfall system is being thoroughly chlorinated before it enters the river. The Anaheim city engineer also reported that a similar test was made of water between the ocean end of the joint outfall sewer's underwater line and the beach shortly before the flood. This test also showed the water to be practically free from bacteria for a distance of 1700 feet from shore. Handling of the sewage at the present time is being done with full approval of the state board of health. Hapgood declared. Plan Treatment Plant It is not the intention of the joint outfall sewer to rebuild the screening plant which was destroyed by the flood, but rather to construct the first units of a treatment plant which would serve all members of the joint district. The treatment plant is provided for in the general plans of reconstructing sections one and two of the sewer. Applications for WPA assistance have been filled by Santa Ana and Anaheim, contracting cities for sections one and two respectively. A condition of emergency exists at this time on the joint outfall sewer and member cities are doing all in their power to relieve an unfortunate situation. Hapgood said. Approval of Washington officials of the applications for WPA assistance is expected any day and the contracting cities are prepared to start work on reconstructing the lines immediately after such approval is granted. J. F. Johnson, WPA zone engineer, conferred with Hapgood Tuesday and informed the city engineer that he is ready to open the project just as soon as he receives word from Washington. The men are now being selected for the project and materials and tools are being arranged for by both WPA and the city.
