City May Pump Local Water for Use, Says Pearson Whether an amendment to the present water laws, to protect basin pumping rights of Anaheim and other Orange county MWD cities which use Colorado river water in order to preserve the local supply, is the best way to approach that pressing problem, was discussed at length before the Orange County Water district directors yesterday when Mayor Charles Pearson of Anaheim and Cornelius Waldo, Los Angeles water attorney, appeared before the board. Attorney A. W. Rutan of the water district and several of the directors made the counter proposal of protecting the citizens' local pumping rights by contract between the water district and individual cities, water companies and other major water users, such as water works districts. Rutan pointed out that the water district represents basin water users as a whole, and, as such, would agree with the cities that, should they find their Colorado river water supply shut off, they would be permitted to pump whatever water they needed from the local basin during the emergency. Attorney Waldo said that the contract plan would be best, if it could be worked out, but he strongly doubted that all parties could be brought into agreement. He felt that, in any event, the proposed amendment to the statutes that he had worked out, in consultation with other attorneys, would work no harm. Highway 39 Construction to Move One of Historic Stanton Landmarks Another landmark in Stanton has been removed with the relocation of the Bauman Bros. market on the rear of their property at 10692 Stanton ave. to make way for Highway 39. Extreme age of the structure made the move hazardous. Modernization of the historic structure will be undertaken at the new site, which is just inside the state highway line, with the main part of the building set back six feet. A forest-green exterior with white trim will put the store in decorative harmony with new buildings being planned by other business men who have had to seek new locations to make room for the new highway development. Little resemblance remains between the Bauman building and the one-time city hall where F. C. Beecher, secretary-treasurer of the Stanton Land and Improvement Co., had his office when the city rights of all parties to an equitable share of the supply. Secretary C. J. Marks of the Orange County Farm Bureau commented that if the cities continued to use local water at an increased rate they would build up their local water rights in any event, and the amendment would give them nothing they would not otherwise get. He suggested that that was the purpose of the amendment, to prevent the cities from being penalized by using was incorporated in 1911. The building was used as a ming hall and during World War II it was headquarters for the Cross. During that time the Beecher lived at 10556 S. Stanton known as Ellendale Rest Home; the Aged during recent years; rest home is also making way for the advancing highway with old guest house scheduled to come part of a pet establishment in Long Beach and the main building being moved to Buena Vista where it will again be used for rest home. On part of the property, to the state by Mrs. Maria Monroe is the giant redwood tree which the ashes of Mrs. F. C. Beecher are said to have scattered in compliance with own request. Some difficulty disposal of the land is anticipated by Stanton residents since Beecher is supposed, at one time, to have promised his daughter, Mrs. dessa Cheroske of Pasadena, the site would be given to Following an estrangement his daughter, however, the land around the tree, which reports has been in the nature of a sho to Mrs. Cheroske, was sold. decided upon. He pointed out that Anaheim had been taking vally all its water supply from Colorado river water, even though it was more expensive in order Attorney Waldo said that the contract plan would be best, if it could be worked out, but he strongly doubted that all parties could be brought into agreement. He felt that, in any event, the proposed amendment to the statutes that he had worked out, in consultation with other attorneys, would work no harm. Rutan and several of the water district directors objected that the amendment, as phrased, would permit the cities to build up local water rights to a point dangerous to agricultural water rights, by using Colorado river water. Waldo commented that in case or an overdrawn basin, adjudication of water rights would reduce the Secretary C. J. Marks of the Orange County Farm Bureau commented that if the cities continued to use local water at an increased rate they would build up their local water rights in any event, and the amendment would give them nothing they would not otherwise get. He suggested that that was the purpose of the amendment, to prevent the cities from being penalized by using Colorado river water. Walter Schmid of Garden Grove, member of the regional water pollution board, said he could see no objection to the proposed amendment. Mayor Pearson said that Anaheim and, he believed, most of the other MWD cities, were ready to cooperate in any plan that was decided upon. He pointed out that Anaheim had been taking vitally all its water supply from Colorado river water, even though it was more expensive, in order to cooperate in preserving the local supply. But since the question city water rights is being threatened by failure to use local water Anahelm will pump all the low water it can, unless some protection is found. He had discussed the question with Santa Ana and New Beach officials and found that willing to cooperate in any part of protection that may be worked out, Pearson said. He also believes he said, that the MWD effort would be willing to contribute toward the cost surplus Colorado river water being purchased by the Orange County Water district for sinkage underground.

Heyling Chairman of the Anaheim City Recreation commission announced today that plans have been completed the presentation of an appraisal of the recreation program started by the State Recreation commission over a year ago. The appraisal will be presented to a joint meeting of the Council, the Elementary School Board and the High School Board, April 17, 8 p.m., in the City Council Chambers. The appraisal was authorized by these groups who sponsor Anaheim's recreation program.

Anaheimer Helps Save Freighter When the American freighter SS Andrea F. Luckenbach was wrecked off Hawaii recently, it made nation-wide headlines. Right at the scene and helping in the salvage operations was Lt. Russell J. Reynolds, USN, husband of Mrs. Lora M. Reynolds of 305 E. Cypress st., Anaheim. Lt. Reynolds is serving aboard the fleet ocean tug USS Yuma. A 205-foot diesel-electric sea-going tug, the Yuma carried beach-ing gear and other salvage equipment to two other tugs engaged in the operation 100 miles off Pearl Harbor. Through the aid of her beaching gear, the Yuma was largely responsible for preventing the Luckenbach from going farther aground.

The Sabres shot down two red jets and probably destroyed another. The fight raged for 15 minutes from 34,000 down to 4000 feet altitude. Other Allied planes in 672 flights reported more than 500 reds killed or wounded Thursday, the greatest claim against troops in the past three weeks. The fighters strafed troop columns of 5000 soldiers near Anak and 1000 reds near Chaeryong. In the ground fighting, the Allies used bayonets and hand grenades in carving out two small beachheads Wednesday on the Hantan river north bank. The reds tried to halt the United Nations advance with heavy mortar and grenade fire. The stiff communist opposition led officers at first to believe they had run into the main enemy line. The reds have jammed 18 new divisions into North Korea. Brodie (Continued from Page 1) the rear of Brodie's and Kawaja's business establishments on property leased from Mrs. Louise Eymann by Brodie.

Center QUAL Bacon engineering plan, to determine what increase in cost has occurred under rising prices since the plan was made prior to the voting of $8,308,000 in bonds by the districts two years ago. That sum will not now build the works planned by Bacon, so it will be necessary to modify the plan, the districts have decided. The contract for repricing the plan would involve a flat fee of $1500 for the engineers. The second section of the contract, as proposed, would provide a study to determine modifications based upon the repricing report, which would make the plan fit the district finances. The contract price for the second section would be $5000. It was explained that if the districts carry out the modified plan the $5000 fee will apply to the compensation of engineers for designing and constructing the job. Contracts will be made with the engineering firm of Harrison and Woolley, Santa Ana, and Headman, Ferguson and Carolina of Phoenix. Last night's session marked the retirement of Virgil Reed, Santa Ana, chairman of the joint sanitation districts, and Mayor Allen Mandy of Santa Ana, a director of District 1. Mandy's term of office has expired and he did not seek re-election. Reed, a member of the Santh Ana council, was defeated for re-election last Tuesday.
