B-3 Anaheim Advertiser THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1953 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Messrs. Hypolite Cahen & Willard have just opened a new assortment of ladies goods and the tasty arrangement attracts great attention. In the trial of T. M. Cahill for murder before the district court at Los Angeles on Monday, the jury failed to agree, and the prisoner was admitted to bail in the sum of $1000. E. T.

They were escorted by Miss Edna Fletcher and Miss Edith Porch of the home economics department, Fremont. Former Gov. Friend W. Richardson was in town Monday, coming here for the purpose of addressing the Rotary club but he took advantage of his visit and spent some time visiting with his personal friends here. At the luncheon Ray Nebelung was chairman of the day, and Mr. Richardson was introduced by S. C. Hartranft. F. A. Yungbluth and George W. Reid are attending the annual state convention of the State Association of Chamber of Commerce Presidents and Secretaries being held at Riverside. A determined effort to chase the bootleger out of business in Orange county is being made. Washington "The Fallbrook Story" has been seen by hundreds of Southern Californians. In this controversy I consider myself completely objective, for I have always contended that the basic water law of California should prevail. We must abide by these laws or reaching a settlement of the dispute. We have pledged to the Under Secretary of the Navy that the riparian rights of all parties would not be disturbed. In other words, the rights of those whose property borders on the river are not in dispute. It has been said that, "The Santa Margarita River is the major source of water for the farmers and ranchers whose payrolls and products add millions to the economy of northern San Diego County." This statement is correct. It is also a fact that practically all of the farmers are located in the Fallbrook area, some 3600 of whom the government date, has named as defendants in the pending Santa Margarita River Law suit in which they have charged these farmers with taking the water which the government claims a paramount right for military purposes. The people in the Oceanside area have been incorrectly advised that many of these farmers are in their area actually, there are only nine farmers in the Oceanside area who use Santa Margarita water, and all of these are tenants and less sees of Camp Pendleton, (see Senate Hearings on S. 2809, July 2, 1952, page 108), growing vegetable tables, fruits, and flowers on tax-free lands for the commercial markets principally in Los Angeles in competition with Fallbrook farmers who have to pay taxes on their land to support local and county government. In the lawsuit the government claims 4800 acre feet per annum for these nine farmers. (Judge Yankwich' opinion, page 11). In the contemplated settlement it is agreed to deal only with the surplus floodwaters which now empty into the Pacific ocean... The freight on corn shipped from the depot has been reduced to $5.50 per ton. Dr. A. J. Howe of Westminster was in town yesterday. The Board of City trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening, present Trustees Schneider, Berdrow and Weisel. Absent Rust and Fletcher. Trustee Berdrow reported approval of bills against the city amounting to $543.39. He also reported in the matter of a sidewalk on Lemon street. Petition for this sidewalk referred back to property owners to execute deeds to a uniform width of walk equaling that at Dickel's corner. Nothing was done about cement curb. Clerk Merritt reported purchase of a lathe for the power house at a price of $89, from L. E. Miller. Price quoted by Los Angeles firm $110, saving to the city by patronizing home house, $11. Weisel reported one of the city horses gathered to his fathers, also buried. Berdrow reported he was looking for another horse. He had looked at a span of mules for $350, but owner would not take the remaining horse in exchange. A man in Los Angeles had a span he would sell at $425, and offered to take the horse at what it was worth. The span of mules were the finest he had ever seen. He favored the purchase of mules, inasmuch as the city was always having trouble with horses. Marshal Steadman reported one horse being rented from Mr. Bustamante at $1 per day. He has had it four days and can have it only four days more, as the owner wants to use it himself. The matter was left to Berdrow to buy the span of mules in Los Angeles, both black and a rattling fine team. He was authorized to take the horse up to the city and make the trade. Clerk Merritt was instructed to telephone to hold the team until Berdrow can come up with the horse. The clerk reported that a warrant had been drawn in favor of Father Dubble in amount of $350 for city lot adjoining city power house. O. P. Bunyard deposited $50 for moving Higgins old drug store.

Furthermore a riparian user, such as Camp Pendleton, cannot legally take water out of the watershed. However, in contravention of this law, Camp Pendleton REDDY KILOWATT SAYS: "count California Water Law should not be subverted by an Act of Congress. With this I agree. Now let us take a look at this California Water Law so far as surplus water is concerned for as I said earlier, we are not attempting to disturb the riparian rights, but are concerned only with appropriate rights. Under California law, surplus water is allocated to users by the California Board of Water Resources under a permit system. Fallbrook has been granted two permits totalling 11,800 feet of surplus water, and a reference to the above chart shows an annual average wastage nearly twice in excess of these permits. California water law does not permit a riparian user to store this floodwater for future use, either above or below the surface as suggested by Judge Yankwich in his opinion. To do this would surely subvert the California Water Law which opponents demand If driving makes you If driving makes you don't blast -it's your car's SMOOTH HERE ROUGH HERE The new Plymouth fights the road for you, not with you!
