THE GAZETTE IS EQUIPPED AND MANNED TO PRODUCE Fine Job Printing 259 East Center Street VOL. LXIX AN Cities Upheld by Judge Scovel in Injunction Case Outfall Sewer Victorious in Controversy with Board of Supervisors Efforts of the county board of supervisors to force the Orange county joint outfall sewer to discontinue use of a sewer line on Verano road met with failure last Friday afternoon. Superior Judge G. K. Scovel sustained a demurrer by members of the joint outfall sewer to an injunction suit brought by the supervisors, at the same time ruling that sewer lines may be laid across county road rights-of-way with or without permission of the county board. Held Constitutional Gordon X. Richmond, city attorney of Orange who presented the arguments for the outfall sewer, based his arguments on the grounds that the county is a portion of the state government and that the supervisors could not act in opposition to laws established by the state legislature. The county had contended that a 1909 statute giving sewer districts and other similar groups rights to take construction of New School Unit Started Tuesday W. J. Esser, Long Beach contractor, started work on the construction of the utility auditorium and classrooms for Benjamin Franklin elementary school Tuesday, it was announced by School Superintendent M. A. Gauer. The project will cost $25,390. Included in the contract are construction of the building, laying of walks, installation of landscaping, placing of fences and installation of a sprinkler system. The new building is an addition to the school which was completed just prior to the opening of school in September.

That the cold wave struck the entire southland Franklin G. West Wins Position On Bench of County Kenneth E. Morrison Lose-in Close Contest for Superior Judge Franklin G. West, Sarta Ana attorney, today was assured of election as judge of department two of the superior court of Orange county. He defeated Justice of the Peace Kenneth E. Morrison in one of the most interesting political contests in the history of the county. When the county board of supervisors completed the canvass of absentee votes late last evening the final count gave West 24,229 votes to 24,100 for Morrison, or a difference of 129 votes. As early as yesterday noon Justice Morrison conceded his defeat and congratulated West. At that time the ultimate winner had a lead of 129 votes with only about 180 ballots remaining to be counted. Errors Corrected Interest in the contest has been at a high pitch since election day a week ago Tuesday. When tabulation of the unofficial returns had been completed, Justice Morrison had a lead of two votes over West. Official canvass by the su- Held Constitutional Gordon X. Richmond, city attorney of Orange who presented the arguments for the outfall sewer, based his arguments on the grounds that the county is a portion of the state government and that the supervisors could not act in opposition to laws established by the state legislature. The county had contended that a 1909 statute giving sewer districts and other similar groups rights to take land for rights-of-way was unconstitutional; and asserted that permission of the supervisors should be asked and granted before land could be taken for such purposes. The county supervisors still are faced with a demand by the city of Orange for payment for use of the Orange sewer line by the county hospital. This demand was filed after the county had taken out of this year's budget a former appropriation to take care of the city of Orange's claim and before the injunction suit was brought against the sewer. Compromise Rejected Between the time the injunction suit was filed and the court hearing a compromise arrangement with the city of Orange, submitted by Supervisor Harry D. Riley, was voted down, three to two. Riley's compromise would have paid the city of Orange $10,655.96 and arranged for further use of the line by the hospital on a rental basis. Deputy District Attorney James E. Walker argued the supervisors' case before Judge Scovel. Others in addition to Richmond who represented the joint outfall sewer were Lew Blodgett, city attorney of Santa Ana, Raymond Thompson, Fullerton city attorney, George F. Holden, Anaheim city attorney, and H.C. Head, attorney for the Garden Grove and Placentia sanitary districts. Engineer Reviews Subdivision Laws In order to acquaint Anaheim real estate people with regulations regarding opening of new subdivisions in this city, G. Millard Parks of the city engineer's office, yesterday outlined provisions of three laws affecting subdivisions at a meeting of the Anaheim Realty board. Two of the laws were passed by the state legislature. The third is recorded here. Orchard Heaters are Fired Friday, Sunday Nights To Protect Fruit Old timers of northern Orange county are of the opinion that the sub-freezing temperatures of last week end were the first ever experienced here so early in the winter season. That the cold wave struck the entire southland earlier than normal is evidenced by the fact that the United States weather bureau did not begin its frost warning broadcast until last Tuesday. Orchard heaters that had not been fired since the freeze early in 1937 were lighted in Orange county last Friday night when the thermometer at the Associated Laboratory here dropped to a minimum of 28 degrees at 5 o'clock Saturday morning. The following night was somewhat warmer, with a minimum of 37 degrees being recorded at 2 o'clock Sunday morning by the Associated Laboratory. Heaters Fired Again The respite lasted only slightly more than 24 hours, however, as again in the early hours of Monday morning the temperature dropped below the freezing point. The laboratory's thermometer registered a minimum of 30 degrees at 5 o'clock in the morning. Orchard heaters were lighted again that night. Heaviest crop damage was suffered by tomato growers, officials said. The temperature did not remain at its lowest point long enough to cause any considerable amount of damage to citrus fruits. Avocado plantings were damaged somewhat, it is reported. Outside of Orange county, minimums of less than 25 degrees were reported in some areas. Officials indicated that some damage had been done in other large citrus-growing areas. Award is Won by School Yearbook For the seventh consecutive year Anaheim union high school's yearbook, The Colonist has been awarded All-American honors by the National Scholastic Press association, it was revealed yesterday by Elsie Eymann, editor of aa yesterday noon Justice Morrison conceded his defeat and congratulated West. At that time the ultimate winner had a lead of 129 votes with only about 180 ballots remaining to be counted. Errors Corrected Interest in the contest has been at a high pitch since election day a week ago Tuesday. When tabulation of the unofficial returns had been completed, Justice Morrison had a lead of two votes over West. Official canvass by the supervisors, however, revealed errors made in six precincts, five of which favored West. The successful candidate lost one vote in one precinct, but gained a total of 158 votes in the other five. West is the son of the late Judge Z. B. West, who served on the superior court bench in Orange county from 1903 until his death in 1927. By a strange coincidence, both the father and the son had prominent roles in the two times in which an incumbent judge had been defeated for reelection in this county, a check of records reveal. Defeats Incumbent In winning election in 1903 Judge Z. B. West defeated Judge J. W. Ballard the incumbent, Franklin G. West this year ran second to Justice Morrison in a tight primary battle that saw Judge James L. Allen, the incumbent, beaten and eliminated from the general election. In his statement yesterday conceding the election of West, Justice Morrison declared that he would not ask for a recount of the ballots by the superior court. Kiwanians View Sporting Films Motion pictures of fishing trips and big-game hunting in Africa were shown to members of the Anaheim Kiwanis club Tuesday noon by Roy Mabee, assisted by Ted Jones of the J & L Camera shop. Two of the films Mabee presented depicted scenes of a deep sea fishing expedition in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Sonora. The third film was of the African hunting. Mabee and Jones were introduced by Robert W. Marvin, chairman of the day. It was announced that the annual Ladies' Night party would be In order to acquaint Anaheim real estate people with regulations regarding opening of new subdivisions in this city, G. Millard Parks of the city engineer’s office, yesterday outlined provisions of three laws affecting subdivisions at a meeting of the Anaheim Realty board. Two of the laws were passed by the state legislature. The third is an ordinance passed by the governing body of the city involved. Parks pointed out that the city of Anaheim is now preparing for adoption of its own local ordinance. He also informed the board that the city has worked out a proposed future street development design and a land-use plan. Drunken Drivers Are Sent to Jail Two drunken drivers who chose Anaheim for the scene of their activity over the past week end are now in the Orange county jail serving sentences for their offenses. Ernest Ladd, 39, of Buena Park was arrested at 6 o'clock Sunday evening. He pleaded guilty before City Judge Frank Tausch Monday morning. Because he had a prior conviction for drunk driving he was sentenced to pay a fine of $250 or spend 125 days in jail and his operator's license was revoked. He chose the jail sentence. Tony Perez, 23, of Norwalk was arrested at 1 o'clock Sunday morning when officers observed him speeding on Center street and Lincoln avenue. He also pleaded guilty and was fined $150, with a 75-day sentence as an alternative. He went to jail.

Meteor Viewed by Anaheim Residents The meteor which sped across the sky last night attracted much attention in Anaheim.

The first of the event will be the Christmas opening and gift hunt scheduled for two weeks from today. The second event is the second annual Hostess day which is slated for December 8. Plans for both functions were discussed this morning at the meeting of the Merchants association. Christmas trees and lights will be placed on the business street in time for the Yuletide season opening. Harry Macres reported present indications are that a large number of stores will participate in the gift hunt which will start simultaneously with the turning on of the Christmas tree lights at 7 o'clock in the evening. Santa Claus will ride on a float along Center street, preceded by the Anaheim union high school band. More than 100 merchants of the city have already signified their intentions of participating in the annual Hostess day, Mrs. Charles H. Mann said this morning. Business houses are cooperating with the Anaheim Ebell club in staging the event again this year. The women of the Ebell clut feel they can improve the event this year, Mrs. Mann said, and they will make more of an effort to aid in sales than they did last year. Secretary John A. Morgan reported that receipts from the annual Hallowe'en celebration will be slightly larger than expenditures when collections of the horse show program are completed. L. Frank Kellogg, vice principal of Anaheim union high school and member of adjustment committee of the Anaheim coordinating council spoke briefly this morning on the activities of his committee. He urged cooperation of merchants in reporting petty thefts by minors in order that these matters may be brought before the adjustment committee in an effort to aid the juvenile. Growers League Explains Action Supervisor-Riley also discussed the recent injunction suit brought by the county against the joint outfall sewer. The suit, he said, was not designed to shut off the flow of sewage, but only to prohibit the outfall sewer from connecting its new lines with old lines until the controversy between the county and the city of Orange had been settled. The suit was brought, Riley pointed out, as a protective measure after the city of Orange had demanded that the county disconnect the sewer line leading from the county hospital and the line owned by the city of Orange. History is Traced The supervisor traced the history of the controversy from the time the city of Orange presented a bill of about $11,500 to the county for sewage disposal between 1924 and January 1, 1938. He said he carried on, with the aid of other county officials, a thorough investigation of the situation and came to the conclusion that the county owed the city of Orange a moral obligation amounting to approximately $10,655. This amount was put in the hospital budget by Riley in addition to a sum sufficient to take care of this year's disposal costs. The majority of the board of supervisors, however, did not agree that the amount should be paid and therefore the claim was denied. Riley said he then attempted to arrange conferences between the joint outfall sewer and the supervisors to discuss the claim, but met with failure. Then followed the city of Orange's demand that the connection be cut off, which resulted in the county's injunction suit. Motion Rejected The supervisor said he did not (Continued on page 8) Dean of College Rotary Speaker Conditions as they exist at the present time in the Orient and in Europe were discussed by Calvin Flint, dean of Santa Ana junior college at Monday's meeting of type of protection work which is being done and informed the group that as many of the bends in the river as possible are being eliminated.

Various committees to study a variety of subjects were appointed by Foreman William Schumacher.
