Work Is Started On New Justice Courtroom Here
Masonic Temple Association Remodeling Portion of Second Story
Work was started Tuesday morning on the new court room for Justice of the Peace Charles Kuchel and new offices for Constable Ed Marion. It is expected that the new quarters will be completed in about two weeks.
Plans were first made by the Anaheim Masonic Temple association to provide the new courtroom and office last November. The matter was delayed, however, pending approval by the county board of supervisors, which was granted recently.
At Corner of Building
The courtroom will remain in the Masonic Temple building, but will be removed from its present location at the southeast corner of the structure to the corner rooms overlooking the intersection of Center and Emily streets. Considerable more floor space is available in the new location and lighting facilities are much superior to those in the old quarters. The new courtroom will have windows running the full length of two sides and Venetian blinds will be used to reduce the glare.
Two of the present rooms at the corner of the building are being remodeled into a large room.

Friday Marks Anniversary of Flood Disaster Brings Considerable Benefit to City
One year ago tomorrow morning, March 3, the city of Anaheim and many of the surrounding areas were inundated in one of the worst floods in the history of Orange county. Many lives were lost and much property was damaged as the raging Santa Ana river broke its banks and roared through orange groves, residential districts and business zones.
Today, practically no traces are found in Anaheim of the major disaster. The north end of the city, which was most severely stricken, presents a more pleasing picture, in general, than it did a year ago. New homes have been constructed, other dwellings have been remodeled and repaired, most of the business houses in the area have been improved, the Mexican colony in the extreme north is somewhat more attractive and the city has a beautiful park under development. The park project, of course, was started before the flood, but the inundation completely demolished what work had been done.
Late last fall many residents of Anaheim became apprehensive when the rainy season set in, being inaugurated by a rather heavy storm. It is interesting to compare the amount of rainfall this city has received to date with what had been recorded here on the same date last year.
Rain records compiled by the Anaheim Union Water company reveal that the city had received 11.17 inches of precipitation on February 28 of last year. On the same date this year, the total was 11.02. Whereas this morning, March 2, dawned brightly March 1 of last year saw the start of a tremendous storm which brought seven inches of rain to Anaheim and considerably more to the mountain areas.
Much damage was done by the flood of last year; but much good also came from the disaster.
Father Nevin is Kiwanis Speaker
Father James Nevin, speaking before members of the Anaheim Kiwanis club Tusday noon, pictured George Washington and Abraham Lincoln as pioneer men in the thoughts of Americans. Earlier, however, represented a different class of people.

The speaker was introduced by Fred A. Backs, chairman of the day. Dr. H. A. Nelson presented Bill Mulligan, Seattle business manager, who spoke briefly training activities of the baseball club here.

The recent indictment of former District Attorney W. F. Menton drew only a paragraph in the general report.
A criticism was directed at the sheriff's office relative to sums of money expended in private investigations without substantial results. The grand jury recommended that more care be exercised in conducting such secret investigations.
Complaints Not Upheld
The report also touched briefly on complaints made by various individuals on five different matters. In no case was the criticism upheld.
