ANAHEIM GAZETTE Page 9 Anaheim Gazette, July 14, 1949 MWD Directors Modify Terms for Annexation of New Areas to System Modified terms that are henceforth to prevail in the annexation of new areas to the Metropolitan Water District of southern California were adopted by the District Board of Directors last Friday, July 8, 1949. Action was taken on the unanimous recommendation of the Water Problems and Public Relations Committee following many months of study and numerous hearings. At the same time the Board voted to notify the Pomona and Ontario areas that it was prepared to resume negotiations in connection with the informal annexation applications of those areas. These negotiations started about two years ago and were held up pending the conclusion of an overall study and review by the Board of Directors of its annexation policy. To Consider All Consideration is to be given to all applications for annexation of eligible areas now pending before the Board of Directors, the modified policy provides. Annexation terms that have governed during the past number of years provide that a city or an area annexing to the Metropolitan Water District will pay into the District treasury during a 30-year period all of the money that it would have paid in taxes had it been a part of the District from the time the District was established in 1929, with 4 per cent interest to date of annexation. This condition remains unchanged in the new regulations. To Dedicate Model Railroad Layout Sunday Launched by a golden spike ceremony, the model railroad layout designed by Albert M. Cranston and his son, Eugene, 206 South Rose street, this city, is scheduled to be dedicated Sunday afternoon, July 31, at 2 o'clock. The public is cordially invited to attend the open house. In addition to members of the Anaheim Model Railroad Society, the aggregation witnessing the rites will comprise model enthusiasts from clubs throughout the southland. Thousands of dollars worth of locomotives will officially initiate the elaborate layout of tracks, towns and tunnels created by the Anaheim vocal instructor and Eugene in the backyard of the Cranston residence. Among the models displayed are expected to be a Announce Queen's Contest at L. B., Flower Show The search is on for a queen to reign over the 3rd Annual Long Beach Flower Show, Long Beach municipal auditorium, August 4-5. Floral culturists of Anaheim have been invited to enter candidates for the queen, who must be between 18 and 23 years of age have beauty, personality, and poise, according to R. G. Hudson president of Pacific Flower Show Inc., non-profit sponsors of the Flower Show. There is no obligation or limit to the number of entries and filers do not have to be registered as exhibitors in the Flower Show Hudson said. Deadline for entry is 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, July 2 and application may be made by telephone, Long Beach 22766, or by letter to the show's headquarterers, 6138 Orange Ave., Long Beach 5. Six judges, all Long Beach civic officials, will select the queen and her two attendants at 10:00 a.m. Thursday, July 28, and following the judging the winner will be honored guests at a luncheon in the Riviera Room of the Hotel Villa Riviera. Losing candidates will be given corsages and invited to ride in the queen’s parade Thursday, August 4, along Ocean Blvd., to the Flower Show at Municipal Auditorium where the queen will officially ascend her throne at 8 p.m. The floral culturists who entered the winning queen candidate will also be honored. The mid-summer Flower Show offering thousands of dollars in flowers. terms that have governed during the past number of years provide that a city or an area annexing to the Metropolitan Water District will pay into the District treasury during a 30-year period all of the money that it would have paid in taxes had it been a part of the District from the time the District was established in 1929, with 4 per cent interest to date of annexation. This condition remains unchanged in the new regulations. The one change provides that the annexing area will be given the option to pay all "back taxes" at the time it is annexed to the District, or pay the total sum due at date of annexation over a period of 30 years, with interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of 3 per cent. The effect of this change is to add 3 per cent interest on their "back taxes" during the period of amortization. In addition to the financial terms modified by today's action, the District Board fixes other conditions relating to delivery of Colorado River water at the time it approves an annexation application. Applications Pending A number of cities and areas in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties have annexation inquiries pending before the District Board of Directors. They include the Pomona and Downey districts in Los Angeles County, Ontario in San Bernardino County, the cities of Orange, La Habra, Placentia, Seal Beach and Huntington Beach in Orange county, and Escondido in San Diego county. The latter seeks to annex to the San Diego County Water Authority, which is a part of the Metropolitan Water District of southern California. The Board today voted to notify the Authority that the annexation of Escondido has the informal approval of the District Board. It also took action reaffirming its disapproval last year of an informal annexation application from the Montrose-La Crescenta district. 28 Cities The District now supplies Colorado River water to 28 cities and large unincorporated areas in southern California having a total population of nearly 4,000,000.

Auto Financial Responsibility Law Is Changed Sacramento (WNS) — Change in the state's financial responsibility law, which is administered by the state department of motor vehicles and affects drivers involved in accidents, will go into effect October 1. The Governor has signed Senate Bill 1177, by senator Randolp Collier, which provides an additional five days for reporting accidents. The present law gives drivers ten days to send in reports where injury or property damage has occurred. The bill also makes the time 7 days instead of sixty from the date of the accident to the time in which the department suspends a license in the event no financial responsibility is shown. Important also, department officials said, is the provision that drivers operating under public utilities commission or interstate commerce commission licenses, are now subject to the act the same as other drivers. The bill also makes an employer owner, instead of an employee driver, financially responsible if the case of an accident involving an employee involving a company car. The word "operator" in the law is changed to "driver," thus including chauffeur's licenses within the meaning of the statute.
