Colony Quips All of Orange county responded in hearty fashion to the Sanitation bond election of last Tuesday and the results speak for themselves. One can never be sure just what will happen in a horse race or a bond election and although the last minute campaign was put on in grand fashion by many unselfish men the fact still remains that a lot of effort, planning and hard work has been going on for several years and most of the voters were fairly well oriented to what we needed. In this connection the names of Robert Boney and Ewald Lemcke cannot be overlooked. They carried on the fight before the survey and when the plans were just a gleam in some men's eyes. When the plans were set and the election was upon us then three other men stepped up and got into the act with all fours. You all know that there were hundreds who did their bit. We wish to mention three whose efforts stood out and who gave a tremendous amount of time, thought and work to carrying the bonds. They did it unselfishly and with no personal axe to grind. They would be the last ones to desire any mention or to take any credit. Harold Smith, Ernest Moeller and A. J. Schutte embodied the sanitation campaign as far as the Anaheim area was concerned. They knew the need for the plan and they also knew its shortcomings, which they tried as far as possible to Voters Approve $8,308,000 Sewer Bonds, 7 to 1; Work to Start Ocean Outfall Within Six Months Overwhelming approval of the 8 million dollar sanitation bonds was given in Monday’s election with 36 percent of the county’s 83,906 registered voters casting ballots for a 7 to 1 margin of victory. 23,119 voted in and 3,367 were opposed. Funds raised by the sale of bonds will be used for construction of an adequate, long-range sewerage district including a 7,000 foot ocean outfall, treatment plant trunk lines and connecting lines in four of the districts.

The electric clock in the store stopped at 10:06 o'clock, firemen stated. The local fire department was notified of the blaze at 10:10 o'clock through a telephone call from a passerby and both trucks responded. According to owner Samuel L. LeNet, he left the store at 9:20 o'clock Saturday night after working in the back room. Local police were unable to locate him until he returned to his home at 3 o'clock Sunday morning. LeNet estimated the fire caused a 100 per cent loss. He valued the merchandise and stock in the store at $12,500, and the equipment, furniture and fixtures, at $5,000. He stated insurance amounting to $12,000, or 90 per cent, covered the merchandise and testing and repair equipment. Although the blaze was confined mostly to the rear of the establishment, the display room in the front part was badly damaged by smoke and water. Heat cracked the windows in front. Brick sidewalls in the store prevented the conflagration from spreading to neighboring stores. LeNet began business here in January 1947, when he purchased the company from co-owners Don Britton and Henry Neyenhuis. Recently he renewed his lease until October 1951. The chief crops in Idaho are wheat, hay, oats, barley, potatoes, beans, sugar beets, apples and prunes. Stock raising is important.

The state makes a one cent differential between cash and carry and home delivery. Retailers claim they can sell for less. The public’s answer to this is contained in the report of a firm of public accountants hired by Hadeler to examine the methods of price setting employed by the state bureau of milk control. The report was handed in to Hadeler at the grocers convention in August 1947 by public accountant Ross Perkins and was in part as follows: Cost Studies Correct “In our opinion correct cost accounting principles were followed by the bureau in their cost studies whereby they determined the distributors wholesale and retail delivered costs of fluid milk. Furthermore, in our opinion, the costs so determined are reflected in the minimum wholesale prices and the minimum retail home delivered prices established for fluid milk by the bureau.” “However, in our opinion, the minimum retail store carryout prices were not established by the bureau in conformity with the law as found in Section 736.12 of the agriculture code under four of the economic factors to consider.” Perkins point, in his own words, was that the retail carryout price was not high enough “to allow for the cost of doing business plus the allowance of a reasonable return on necessary capital invested.” This, then, is the report of the grocers association’s own public accountant and appears to be in sharp conflict with the statements of Hadeler concerning the retail grocer’s ability to sell milk at lower prices than now allowed.
