Anaheim Gets Annexation Go-Ahead: Buena Park Drops Court Suit Wed. Walter R. Schmid Withdraws From Assembly Race Health considerations today prompted rancher Walter R. Schmid of Garden Grove to withdraw from the race for election as Republican Assemblyman of the 75th District of the north and west Orange county. He notified his general committee of 100, and through them many other volunteers in his Buena Park City Attorney Warren Ferguson announced Tuesday that they had dropped court action filed in a three-sided suit against Anaheim and Stanton in the much disputed Dale Street No. 2 Annexation. The split was scheduled to go to trial Wednesday for first hearing. However, Buena Park city officials contend their action was valid and legal. The decision came as a distinct surprise to Anaheim and Stanton. Superior Court Judge Robert Gardner had announced there were no courts available on Wednesday and that it would be necessary to delay or reset the many cases on the calendar. The decision on the part of Buena Park came after the recent annexation election in which the property owners voted in an overwhelming majority to become part of the City of Anaheim. Buena Park Attorney Ferguson stated the election "expressed the will of the people and that no further good would come as a result of continuing the court fight". He further stated Buena Park would agree to dismiss its cross-petition against the City of Anaheim, and would consent to judgment against it in the original actions brought by a group of Stan- Citizens Seek to Block G. Grove Incorporation In an action filed late Monday Len S. Brown and others of Citizens Committee Against corporation, are seeking to be the incorporation proceedings the proposed new city of Gar Grove. Suit was filed against county Board of Supervisors County Clerk Lynn B. Wallace a writ to prohibit proceedings. The legality of the proceeding was attacked on several grounds including a contention that election on incorporation fail last May 10 and that the A 17 vote is within a year of previous election, which is a lation of a new state law. The action was filed by Attorneys Harold A. McCabe and P. Mond Vincent, who are representing Len Brown, Donald Crieford, Eugene Lyall, Carl J. Herman, Dorothy Cangson, A. Lawhon and William E. Otis. It is asserted by the dissent that a large number of parcels land listed in the petition are owned by the persons who sign as property owners but were owed by the Hale Co., subdivider was also believed that a large majority of the signatures were trained by mail and that pet circulators could not know if signatures were legal and genuine. They also contend the hearing the incorporation were held in. WALTER R. SCHMID campaign, that on advice of his physician "I have, with deep regret, come to the irrevocable conclusion that I should eliminate myself from the Assembly race." Early last week, just prior to his contemplated departure for Washington, D. C., on business, he stated "I was stricken with a severe infection. I am now recovering from this initial attack," Schmid wrote, adding that his doctor "has advised me to drop all extra-curricular activities not absolutely necessary to my business in order to forestall a recurrence of this infection." He said that "I do not wish to compete as a sick candidate, nor would I care to continue to serve you under the prospect that the illness could continue or become prolonged." Schmid asked that all campaigners cease their efforts, and all solicitations for funds cease. He pledged return of all donations "with appropriate thanks," and said that "I will personally defray all expenses incurred to date." Since 1911 a Garden Grove rancher and business man, Schmid was considered the outstanding candidate for the Assembly post he now must quit. Mrs. V. Jacobsen Named President Zion Readers' Guild Mrs. Victor Jacobsen was elected chairman of the Readers' Guild of Zion Lutheran Church to succeed of the City of Anaheim. Buena Park Attorney Ferguson stated the election "expressed the will of the people and that no further good would come as a result of continuing the court fight". He further stated Buena Park would agree to dismiss its cross-petition against the City of Anaheim, and would consent to judgment against it in the original actions brought by a group of Stanton property owners and by Anaheim. Ferguson said four weeks ago during the preliminary arguments that his city had objected to permitting the Anaheim annexation because of the long delay it would likely cause in court fights with Buena Park. He also said Buena Park felt it would deprive persons in the disputed area from choosing which city they wished to join and thus the rights of the people would be jeopardized. After the recent annexation election was held, it proved conclusively to Buena Park that the people had voiced their opinions in the majority and their city council felt no good could come from prolonging the court fight. The original annexation try of Buena Park was to take in "uninhabited" territory known as the Dale St., No. 2 Annexation which extended south from Buena Park into Stanton and was to be used as a "fence" against the growth of Anaheim to the west. The strip was a parcel of land approximately 265 feet in width extending south along Dale Street toward Magnolia Avenue on the east and which embodied property owned by Southern California Edison Company and was one of the areas classed as uninhabited. The representative of the taxpayers, Attorney James E. Walker objected slightly to the statements that each party would pay its own costs, stating he had considerable expenses for subpoenas. He, however, agreed to the settlement, which eliminates what could have been a court fight of several years duration. Two Variances Denied by City It is asserted by the dissent that a large number of parcels land listed in the petition are owned by the persons who sign as property owners but were ordered by the Hale Co., subdivider was also believed that a large jority of the signatures were trained by mail and that pet circulators could not know if signatures were legal and genuine. They also contend the hearing the incorporation were held in a manner as to not be of genius intent and interest of the property owners but were conduced in a "hasty, hurried, arbitrary, unlawful manner and, through misinformation and misconception of the law". The citizens committee also sorted the hearings before the pervisors board "were not regularly continued from time to time provided by law and, as a rule thereof, said Board of Supervise was without jurisdiction to proceed". An alternative writ was returned before Judge Ken E. Morrison at 2 p.m. on April 7. Mrs. V. Jacobsen Named President Zion Readers' Guild Mrs. Victor Jacobsen was elected chairman of the Readers' Guild of Zion Lutheran Church to succeed Mrs. Ed Clasen when the guild met at the home of Mrs. John Sandstrom, 501 N.

Two Variances Denied by City Council Tuesday The Tuesday evening session of Anaheim City Council upheld the City Planning Commission when they denied requests for two variances. The first variance denied was that of A. E. Robertson who had asked permission to add an addition to the front of a house at South Palm Street and West Vermont Avenue. He stated he wished to accommodate a prospective insurance broker. The second denial for a variance was that of the Champion Park Home Builders to erect multiple dwellings in the vicinity of East Romneya Drive and North East Street. The Council did give them a go ahead by allowing them to erect buildings of one story height in certain areas around the location asked. Council chambers were filled to capacity, by homeowners who had come to voice their protests on both matters.

The property became known as the Dale-Ball Annexation when Anaheim filed to annex the area last year. However, the attempted filing was 24-hours too late since Stanton had filed for incorporation, including in its proposed city limits, the Dale-Ball properties. In a recent order handed down by the judge, this area was moved back into county territory when Stanton's proposed city limits were reduced and this property was excluded from the proposal. The proposed annexation moved into the fight for annexation only a few days ago when residents of the area appeared before the City Council asking for admittance to Anaheim rather than risk being grabbed by one of the other cities seeking to annex the area. Signers of the application filed were: Calvin L. Pepley, Paul Plentz, Bill T. Asawa, Royal C. Marten, John W. Fuquay, Carl E. Korn and Kent F. Campbell, all residents of the disputed area.
