Use of underground water by gun clubs in Orange county is again a center of controversy following the appearance of directors of Orange County Water district at Tuesday's meeting in the county board of supervisors. Water district directors are seeking repeal of an ordinance adopted in 1936 which permitted gun clubs to pump basin water on payment of a $25 license fee. To replace the ordinance, the district wants a former ordinance, established in 1931 and repealed in 1936, reinstated. This ordinance prohibited "non-beneficial" use of underground water. Its anti-gun club effect had been sustained by the state supreme court several times, it is contended. It was also contended that the present ordinance is unconstitutional. Supervisors instructed Dis- Attorney William F. Menton to prepare an opinion on that phase of the matter and report back to the board at its meeting next Tuesday. During the discussion, it developed that the Orange County Farm bureau had not approved the present ordinance, in spite of the fact that Chairman Wittard Smith declared the law was adopted as a compromise under the impression that it had been given such approval. William H. Warner, chairman of the water board, also charged that gun clubs are violating the present ordinance. "The shooting season is approaching, and in fairness this board should take a stand one way or the other," Warner said.

A representative of the electric home and farm authority was present to discuss with city trustees the recently inaugurated plan of municipalities handling contracts on sales of domestic electric appliances. Under the plan, the city would handle collections of accounts, the sales being made by local business houses. Increased revenue from sales of electricity would pay for the city's expense in handling the accounts, it was contended. After considerable discussion of the matter, the council decided to take it under advisement. Anaheim Drum and Bugle corps requested an allocation of $250 from the city's advertising fund to defray expenses of participating in the national convention of the American Legion in Los Angeles during September as well as in the state convention of Elks lodges in Monterey next fall. The Anaheim corps represents both organizations, Roy E. Black, chairman, said in his letter to the council.
