Express Highway Benefits Shown New Free-Way Boulevard to Reduce Accidents and Bring Residents The planned free-way highway between Santa Ana and Los Angeles will be of benefit in several different ways, Frank C. Balfour, Storm Drainage On City Streets To Be Improved Water Company's Lines Will Be Used During Heavy Rains in Future Anaheim streets will not long remain in a flooded condition during heavy rainstorms this winter as they have in past years as the result of an agreement reached between the city of Anaheim and the Anaheim Union Water company whereby the city will use water company pipelines when the need arises. The agreement, which has been in the process of negotiation for the past few weeks, received the final approval of the city council last Tuesday evening, and Mayor Charles H. Mann was given authorization to sign the agreement with the water company. No Charge For Use The agreement provides that the city of Anaheim may use, without charge, seven lines owned and operated by the water company within the city during heavy storms when the regular street drainage system is taxed to capacity. It further provides that the Express Highway Benefits Shown New Free-Way Boulevard to Reduce Accidents and Bring Residents The planned free-way highway between Santa Ana and Los Angeles will be of benefit in several different ways. Frank C. Balfour, supervising right-of-way agent for the state department of public works, told members of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county Tuesday evening at the American Legion hall in Placentia. Most important benefit will be the reduction in traffic deaths. Statistics from similar freeways in New York state prove that accidents are reduced to a minimum as the result of elimination of many traffic hazards. Balfour pointed out that more than 2000 persons have already been killed in automobile accidents in this state during this year. Time Reduced Reduction of driving time from Los Angeles to northern Orange county will undoubtedly result in executives and others who work in Los Angeles building homes and residing in Orange county and still be as close to their work, in the matter of time, as by living in residential districts around Los Angeles, Balfour said. He was enthusiastic regarding the possibilities of Orange county as a fine residential district. Answering objections from merchant groups, the speaker said that the new highway will have the effect of halting the spread of business districts over large areas and will centralize existing business districts. Local Service Roads Local service roads on the freeway will provide adequate ingress and egress to the express highway at all local points. The temporary terminal of the super-highway from Los Angeles will be North Main street in Santa Ana, Balfour said, but it is eventually planned to extend the road to San Diego. It is expected that five years will be required before the highway is completed, the speaker said. Spohn is Convicted On Homicide Charge final approval of the city council last Tuesday evening, and Mayor Charles H. Mann was given authorization to sign the agreement with the water company. No Charge For Use The agreement provides that the city of Anaheim may use, without charge, seven lines owned and operated by the water company within the city during heavy storms when the regular street drainage system is taxed to capacity. It further provides that the lines may be used only after the first flush of water has carried leaves and trash past the connections with the water company's lines. Seven lines will be used, located in various parts of the city. Runoff water will flow toward the western edge of the city and will be discharged into the West Anaheim storm drain, City Engineer E. P. Hapgood said. In order to use the lines, the city must make several connections at a cost of approximately $1000. This work will start in the near future, the city engineer said. Resolution Passed The agreement may be cancelled at any time by either of the parties. The council also passed a resolution Tuesday evening authorizing Mayor Mann to file an application with the state board of health for permission to discharge clarified sewage affluent through existing lines.

Decision was reached yesterday at a commission hearing at Santa Ana on the projected zoning, which was protested by groups of Buena Park citizens principally because they held that the state had not sufficiently developed its plans for re-routing Manchester avenue through traffic around their community to the south.
