It was announced this week end by Secretary W. D. Miller of the district.

The Colorado river water has been released at the rate of 90 second feet and by Aug. 1 a total of 20,192 acre feet had been delivered. At the same rate of delivery, the additional 25,000 acre feet purchased by the flood control district will be flowing down the river to Orange county between as late as Jan. 15, 1952. If winter rains make the delivery of the water impractical, it will be suspended until the end of the rainy season next spring. MORE ABOUT ...

E. Holyoke, City Engineer. The union has made seven basic demands but negotiations have failed to effect any agreement on such items as wages, insurance, pension and severance pay. The union has demanded a six per cent additional payment of earnings from last October to last April, and 10 per cent from April until now; a 10 per cent flat wage increase now, plus an escalator clause that would raise pay one cent per hour for each 1.44 points increase in the Bureau of Labor Standards Index. There are 7500 production and maintenance workers involved in the strike vote. The company has offered to increase wages 10 per cent, but the union leaders say this “would no more than bring Douglas wages here to the point they should have been months ago.” WE ARE BACK from our VACATION and READY TO SERVE YOU AGAIN with the SAME COURTEOUS SERVICE.

The court also had denied several defense motions to block the trial proceedings. Defense counsel George Chula presented an objection to the entire special panel, on the ground that, according to his "information and belief" the panel does not represent a true cross-section of the people of Orange county. Chula demanded the right to question Constable R. E. Steinberger of Santa Ana, who as the court's elisor, summoned the venire. Chula wanted to know how the venire was picked. District Attorney James L. Davis resisted both defense moves and the court upheld his objec- tions, both to the challenge of the panel, and the questioning of Steinberger. Chula then announced that Attorney James C. Monroe of Santa Ana, previously associated with the defense exclusively for the purpose of presenting motions to have criminal prosecution set aside and McCracken subjected to sex psycopath proceedings, now is associated with the defense for all purposes. Monroe immediately renewed his motion for sex psycopath proceedings, which had been denied previously on the ground that it was prematurely presented, McCracken not having been convicted. Subsequently McCracken was found guilty of child stealing. The SERVICE ON REQUEST GRAND ISLAND, Nebraska. Charles Benner of Central Nebraska, got his train informa- with a bang.

It would require, according to the report, a suitable, properly equipped drill tower and grounds. It was suggested that, if an added station were found necessary in the northern part of the city, enough acreage could be acquired to provide for a drill tower. An increase in manpower for the Fire department was recommended that would provide at least three men per company on duty at all times. Standard manpower requirements are for seven men on duty for each pumper and ladder company. In order to strengthen the water system, the report recommended that arterial mains be looped and of adequate size to concentrate in any section the fire flow required in that section. Extension of the arterial main on Los Angeles st. from Center to Sycamore st. was recommended and the enlargement from four to eight inches of the main along Center st. from Olive to Palm st.
