Authentic Report Made Of Anaheim's Flood Disaster Complete Summary of Inundation that Occurred Here on March 3 will be Entered in City Records Shortly after the flood of March 3, the city council decided to have prepared a complete history of the disaster as it affected various city departments. The major purpose of the report is to provide and preserve for future years an authentic record of what occurred in Anaheim on that fateful day. The complete report as it will be submitted to the council to be placed in the city's records as part of the annual report of Miss Beatrice Miller, city auditor, follows: Flood of 1938 "The city of Anaheim extends its sympathy to the people of this community who have suffered so much of shock and loss, and the governing body of the city expresses its thanks for the spirit in which the people have met their responsibilities as citizens in the recent flood catastrophe. Our mayor, Charles H. Mann, in behalf of the council, officials and employees of the city of Anaheim expresses the deep sense of apprehension." Many Homes Ruined "As the flood waters receded, the full extent of the havoc rendered could be seen. Houses wereammed together, overturned, broken and off their foundations. Sewer mains were clogged with mud; gas and water lines were broken, and over everything was spread a thick layer of mud. Through all of this the city kept its light and water facilities constantly in operation, a tremendous" Santa Ana River Protection Plan To Be Discussed Record of Supervisors Will Meet Tomorrow; Await Governor's Decision Orange county supervisors will meet tomorrow morning for the purpose of determining the course of action to be followed in protecting Anaheim and the remainder of Orange county from further rampages of the Santa Ana river. What plan will be adopted depends to a considerable extent upon whether word is received today from Governor Frank F. Merriam relative to a state allocation to assist in the program, Supervisor Harry D. Riley said this morning. Plan Outlined Riley this morning reiterated a statement he made before the Anaheim chamber of commerce last week that something definitely will be done to provide protection from the river. The supervisors have decided to lower the riverbed sufficiently to increase the capacity of the river from its present 10,000 second-feet to 17,000 second-feet. The question, however, is how to finance such a program. "The city of Anaheim extends its sympathy to the people of this community who have suffered so much of shock and loss, and the governing body of the city expresses its thanks for the spirit in which the people have met their responsibilities as citizens in the recent flood catastrophe. Our mayor, Charles H. Mann, in behalf of the council, officials and employees of the city of Anaheim expresses the deep sense of appreciation for the unstinted and unselfish cooperation given by the individuals and agencies, public and private, fraternal and religious, during the period of emergency." "Especially is the city of Anaheim thankful for the splendid assistance given by Governor Frank F. Merriam, Congressman Harry R. Sheppard, Assemblyman Thomas H. Kuchel, officers and men of the 185th Infantry, California National Guard, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the auxiliaries of both organizations, the CCC men of El Toro, California State Highway patrol, police and fire departments of our neighboring communities, the sheriff's office, California State Employment Office, Anaheim Lodge of B.

Gen. Harcourt Hervey, General Harry H. Morehead, Major Donald L. Winans, Southern Counties Gas company and others. Devastating Suddenness The flood of March 3, 1938, which caused such extensive damage in Anaheim struck with a devastating suddenness. No prophet could foretell the possibility of the inundation caused by cloudbursts in the mountains, heavy rainstorms of the last part of February and the first two days of March. Tremendous torrents of water rushed from the many streams in the San Bernardino mountains which empty into the Santa Ana river. The river, during most of the year an arid waste, became a raging maelstrom that caused chaos and destruction wherever it escaped its banks. The break which resulted in the inundation of Anaheim occurred at the Yorba bridge. Many Hercules Ruined "As the flood waters receded, the full extent of the havoc rendered could be seen. Houses wereammed together, overturned, broken and off their foundations. Sewer mains were clogged with mud; gas and water lines were broken, and over everything was spread a thick layer of mud. Through all of this the city kept its light and water facilities constantly in operation, a tremendous task in itself. A chlorination plant which would adequately purify the water supply of the city was installed almost overnight as a precaution against epidemic and disease. Emergency measures were taken to care for the outfall sewer serving the several cities and sanitary districts in this area which had been flooded, causing almost complete destruction of this most essential utility. Throughout the day of the flood, March 3, city officials and employees strove tirelessly to carry forward an emergency program of rescuing persons stranded by flood waters, providing refuge in the various private and public buildings that opened their doors to aid the unfortunate, and bringing a semblance of order out of chaos. River Leaves Banks "Police officers were called back to duty shortly after word had been received by Chief J. S. Bouldin from Supervisor Harry D. Riley at 3 o'clock that the river had broken at the Yorba bridge and were dispatched throughout the city to warn residents. Fire Chief R. Nyboe and Councilmen F. A. Yungbluth obtained trucks and went to the rescue of Mexican families living in the north end of the city. Employees of the shop and garage department were also dispatched by T. K. Cushman in trucks to the stricken area. Shortly after 3:30 o'clock, the crest of the flood swept the northern part of the city, paralyzing all activity. Many of the rescue crews were unable to return to the city hall until after daylight. Upon their return, police officers and other (Continued on page 8) Candidate Speaks at Lions Meeting Growth of communism in United Plan Outlined Riley this morning reiterated a statement he made before the Anaheim chamber of commerce last week that something definitely will be done to provide protection from the river. The supervisors have decided to lower the riverbed sufficiently to increase the capacity of the river from its present 10,000 second-feet to 17,000 second-feet. The question, however, is how to finance such a program. Governor Merriam has indicated, Riley said, that he prefers a program which would benefit San Bernardino and Riverside counties as well as Orange county. The governor, however, has not given Orange county officials any indication of what his plan includes. Await Decision Supervisors have communicated daily by telephone with Sacramento, but have received no definite announcement from the governor. Chairman Willard Smith Assemblyman Thomas Kuchel and Engineer N. M. Thompson conferred with Governor Merriam a week ago yesterday and were informed the governor wished to study the recommendation of State Engineer Edward Hyatt before reaching a decision. Increase of the capacity of the river to 17,000 second-feet would take care of the maximum flow which would be released by the new Prado dam, Riley said. The present 10,000 second-feet is considered ample to handle the normal flow of the river. Associated Will Meet On Tuesday An out-door barbecue dinner will feature the meeting of the Associated Chamber of Commerce of Orange county next Tuesday evening. The meeting will be held at the home of W. C. Poe of Los Alamitos with the dinner hour set for 6:30 o'clock. Because it is the last meeting of the group before the primary elections, candidates for office have been invited to attend, according to Secretary Harry M. May. Execpt for routine reports, no program is being arranged, the evening, rather, being devoted to entertainment. President Harry C. Arthur, Sr., is securing the en- raingtorms of the last part of February and the first two days of March. Tremendous torrents of water rushed from the many streams in the San Bernardino mountains which empty into the Santa Ana river. The river, during most of the year an arid waste, became a raging maelstrom that caused chaos and destruction wherever it escaped its banks. The break which resulted in the inundation of Anaheim occurred at the Yorba bridge. "Official record of the rainfall just preceding the flood was kept by the municipal light and water department, and is as follows: 4 a.m. Feb. 27 to 8 a.m. Feb. 28, 1.57 inches; 8 a.m. Feb. 28 to 8 a.m. March 1, 1.93 inches; 9:30 p.m. March 1 to 7:30 a.m. March 2, 2.13 inches; 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 2, 1.85 inches; and 4 p.m. March 2 to 9 a.m. March 3, 1.13 inches; a total of 8.61 inches for a period of 100 hours. Water Levels Shown "Figures given the department by Orange County Engineer's office show how the peak of the flood waters rose steadily to about midnight March 2. These measurements, taken at Prado, are as follows: Midnight on March 1, showed a flow of 2000 second-feet; at noon March 2, the flow had increased to 800 second-feet; 10 p.m. March 2, showed a flow of 25,-000 second-feet; 12:15 a.m. March 3, showed a peak flow of 94,000 second-feet; 6 a.m. March 3, the flow had dropped to 50,000 second-feet and continued to drop steadily thereafter. It may be well to point out that a second-foot of water is a cubic-foot, or its equivalent of 7.48 gallons passing a certain point every second. Herein is presented facts partially describing activity of personnel in the various departments Candidate Speaks at Lions Meeting Growth of communism in United States and Mexico was described by Joseph Rosborough in his talk last Friday to members of the Anaheim Lions club.

Nearly 4,000 persons visited the new plant on North Olive street during the afternoon and evening. The new industry is looked upon as one of the most important factors to enter the life of the community in many years. It is a cooperative organization composed of five orange packing houses, which in turn are owned by a large group of orange and lemon growers.

The entire flood spillway area and the picnic grounds are now planted to seed, Park Superintendent Rudolph Boysen said this morning. In addition, about 1½ acres of the baseball field has also been prepared and planted. Boysen plans to have the entire baseball field seeded by August 1. Diamond Progressing Grading and preparing the playing field is under the personal supervision of Frank Benjamin and is progressing rapidly. Benjamin is a former baseball player, thus assuring that the diamond will meet all requirements. Vic Ruedy is working with Benjamin in an advisory capacity. Workmen will pour 250 sacks of cement tomorrow on the north wing of the grandstands. An equal number of sacks were poured on the south wing last Friday, Boysen said. Four more major pourings will be required to complete the cement work for the stands. Other activity at La Palma park includes daily planting of shrubbery and trees, Boysen said.

Outlet for Growers Cal-Juices, Inc., is of tremendous importance to citrus producers as it provides them an outlet under their own ownership for oranges and lemons of a quality not equal the Pure Gold and Silver Seal brands packed and marketed by MOD. Heretofore, growers had the choice of either dumping their inferior fruit or selling it to commercialanners at a price which it is believed will be somewhat lower than will be realized from transactions with the cooperative concern. Not only will Anaheim's newest industry can put orange juice, but it will also produce a concentrate to serve as the base of an orangeade to be marketed through various dairies, citrus oil and cattle feed. All of these activities will be carried on in the new plant here and will be of no little importance in bringing a larger return for secondary fruit. Own Sales Staff While Cal-Juices is a subsidiary of MOD and marketing of its products will be through the parent organization, MOD has established a separate sales staff to handle Cal-Juice products. Alfred Gabrielsen has been chosen to head this department and he will maintain his offices at Redlands, headquarters of MOD. Anaheim was selected as the location of the new industry because this city is the center of the valencia orange district, it was declared by E. L. Hackley of Anaheim, president of Cal-Juices. Extensive study has revealed the valencia orange produces the finest juice and is more adaptable to the canning industry. Being located within close proximity of the supply, Cal-Juices is assured of being able to operate more efficiently. Canning of citrus juices on a commercial basis was started (Continued on Page 3) Educator Speaks To Kiwanis Club Although they were at the scene the crime minutes after re-reading the call, Anaheim police officers were unable to find one of the young man alleged to be stolen a purse from Mrs. A.
