Anaheim city council plans to
Reject All Bids For Repairs On Dykes of River
Lawsuit Feared by Raard of Supervisors as Result of Bidder's Action
Construction of protection works on the Santa Ana river levees will be done by the Orange County Flood control district as a force account rather than by contract. It appeared today following action of the county board of supervisors in rejecting all bids for the work Tuesday.
Permission must be obtained from the state engineer and the attorney general to handle the project in such a manner, it was said. If this permission is denied, the supervisors may have to advertise for bids all over again. It was said.
Fear Lawsuit
Supervisors rejected all bids because of a technicality and the fear that awarding of a contract under the circumstances would result in a lawsuit and thereby delay the project.
Supervisors asked for bids of six separate units. United Concrete Pipe company submitted a bid of $150,896 for entire project and specified that unless the entire bid was accepted the unit bids

Council to Study Seattle Contract
Fence Around Bullpark Part of Requirements Given In Club's Proposal
Anaheim city council plans to study the provisions of a contract proposal submitted by the Seattle baseball club of the Pacific Coast league for use of the ball field at the new La Palma park next spring when it meets in regular session next Tuesday night.
The proposal, as submitted to the Anaheim chamber of commerce early this week by William Mulligan, business manager of the Seattle ball club, includes the provisions that the city furnish a ball park completed and fenced, with bleachers and grandstands and locker rooms; sufficient number of grounds keepers to keep the diamond in condition; that Seattle club be given all concessions and the right to retain revenue from ticket sales for games, and an option to use the park again in 1940.
Secretary John Morgan of the chamber of commerce said that the Philadelphia team of the American league, through its manager, Connie Mack, has expressed interest in Anaheim as a training site in 1940 and that any contract signed with Seattle would have to include a clause cancelling the option if Philadelphia decided to train here.
Two important matters must be decided by the council. One deals with the fence around the ball grounds and the other with the concessions.
It has been suggested that there might be a legal question involved in the concession that will have to be worked out.
Individual members of the council have expressed themselves in favor of erecting a fence around the park. The master plan for the recreation area called for such an enclosure, but funds have not yet been allocated for that feature. It is believed that the council will determine next Tuesday what type of fence is to be used.
The Anaheim chamber of commerce started negotiations several weeks ago with all members of the Pacific Coast league and the two major leagues in an effort to obstruct orchestra has been in charge of the cost of costumes. J Ben in charge of the cost of costumes. The ball will start rock and dancing will kill 1 o'clock. Only perfume will be admitted, said.

Fear Lawsuit
Supervisors rejected all bids because of a technicality and the fear that awarding of a contract under the circumstances would result in a lawsuit and thereby delay the project.
Supervisors asked for bids of six separate units. United Concrete Pipe company submitted a bid of $150,896 for entire project and specified that unless the entire bid was accepted the unit bids were not to be considered. The company's bid for the entire project was lowest of those submitted, but other companies presented bids for some units that were lower than those offered by United Concrete Pipe company.
Basich Bros. and Famularo and Landreth submitted lowest bids for units three, four and six. Through their attorney they asked that they be awarded the contracts for those units.
Vote is 4 to 1
After a lengthy discussion the supervisors voted 4 to 1 to reject all bids, N.E. West being the lone dissenter. John Mitchell expressed the viewpoint of three of his colleagues when he said, "We're going to get tied up in a lawsuit no matter what we do if we let these contracts."
United Concrete Pipe company's bid for the entire project was approximately $6,000 more than the combination of lowest bids for the six separate units, which amounted to $144,000. N.M. Thompson, county flood control engineer, had previously estimated the cost of project at approximately $157,000.
L.W. Blodgett, attorney for Basich Brothers and Famularo and Landreth declared United's bid was not valid because it did not meet the county's specifications and urged that the companies he represented be awarded the contracts for units 3,4 and 6. In answer to Blodgett, Mitchell said the B.Z.McKinney, special counsel for the board, and James E.Walker, deputy district attorney, both had ruled that the bid submitted by United was valid.

her activities.
Yorke was principal speaker of the evening and his topic was the methods used by the motion picture industry in selling its product. "Brand" advertising, he said, is impossible in the industry because various films produced by studios are not equal in quality. "Personality" selling is the method used by the industry.
Hollywood, the speaker said, is second only to Washington as a news source in this country. There are 285 accredited correspondents in the film capital and competition among them is keen. Correspondents do not fake news. Yorke declared, adding, however, that they sometimes manufacture news and illustrated how this is done.
Production and advertising of motion pictures are done under strict codes that all major producers abide by. Yorke emphasized major producers are striving to present the type of entertainment which the people want.
Both Yorke and Miss Hemington were presented tokens of appreciation by President Arthur.
Following Yorks's address London called upon P. A. Stanton, state highway commissioner, who spoke briefly on the work of that branch of the state's administration.

Judge Ames' letter said:
"While I have no authority of control of the administration of the juvenile dentition home, I am intensely interested in its management, because it is often my unfortunate duty to commit boys and girls to that institution, and certainly I would not issue commitments to an institution where conditions obtain as described by Mr. Norton and other speakers.
"If it is true that a judicial tribunal exists in Orange county where substantial constitutional rights are denied, and where a fair and impartial trial cannot be had and the proceedings are further conducted in the manner of a Nazi dictator, such a situation demands immediate investigation by some impartial body-clothed with the power to compel the attendance of witnesses, including Mr. Norton, and eliciting from them whatever information they may have."
Offers Cooperation
"The opinion expressed by Mr. Norton would be of no concern to me, were it not for the fact that a splendid, patriotic organization took sufficient cognizance of his charges to authorize an investigation by a committee. I heartily welcome any investigation by any responsible organization.
I respectfully request an immediate investigation, not only into the conduct of the juvenile detention home, but also in the conduct of proceedings of the juvenile court, and may I offer to your honorable body my full and (Continued on page 8)
