HOME OWNERS LOSE FIGHT ON VARIANCE The long bitter fight waged by residents of a southwest Anaheim area was lost to the petitioners for a recall of a variance let several weeks ago for a restaurant, cocktail lounge and several shops in the midst of their area, the Sherwood Forest subdivision on Brookhurst Road. Petitioned by residents to revoke the variance, the council had referred the decision to the city attorney last week and had requested a legal opinion of the revocation. Donald and Eugene Wells, the builders, contend that the council had no right to revoke the variance, since it was granted following a public hearing at which no protests were made. The residents requesting the revocation insisted they had no opportunity to protest, since they were not notified of the commercial project planned for the site. They were informed that the reason they were not notified was the fact the home owners were not yet listed on the county tax assessor's rolls, although they had actually purchased their homes. A compromise was reached when Wells agreed to building a masonry wall and planting a screen of trees between the restaurant and the homes. This was frowned upon by the petitioners who insisted either upon a revocation of the variance, or a "IKE" PICNIC TO BE BIG AFFAIR HERE ON SEPT. 9 The first Southern California Waltonian picnic promises to be a big affair on next Sunday, Sept. 9, at the Le Palme Park when the local Izaak Walton members and the Ikettes of Anaheim have planned the festivities to begin at 1 p.m. with the picnic dinner. At 2 p.m. a talent show will be presented and at 3 p.m. the crowd will enjoy games at which prizes will be given. The afternoon will conclude with a baseball game. All southern California chapters have been invited. The Anaheim Ikettes will be the official greaters with assistant hostesses from eight women's chanters. Members are to bring their own picnic dinner and service for their group. The Garden Grove Ikettes will have soda pop for sale, and coffee will be served free. The Whitfler Walkectes will be in charge of the talent show while the Fullerton Anne Newmans will have charge of the games and contests which each of the women's chapters will provide. Bellflower will provide some baseball equipment for hot games between the pops and their daughters, moms and their sons and possibly other combination teams. At their recent meeting, the Ikets and Ikettes started plans for their Hallowe'en float entry. Crippled Children's Relief Association of Orange County have recently issued a call for additional funds to carry on the work for another year. This group of citizens is primarily interested in Orange County youngsters who need assistance and who parents are unable to provide the necessary medication. In the months from Nov. 1955 to July 1, 1956 they cared for 108 cases, 98 of which were old cases and the balance new cases. This accounted for 34 boys, 48 girls, 11 men and 15 women. Some of the expenditures of the association included wheelchairs, $1,034.77; braces, splinters; $286.23; special shoes, $58.71; surgery and hospital, $1,479.77; glasses, $206.50; dental, $409.00; tonsillectomy, $521.56; orthodontia, $2,278.00; secretary expense; $660.00; and medicine, office visits, $821.83. The Crippled Children's Relief Association is not to be confused with the "Orange County Society for Crippled Children and Adults, Inc." This group was formed in Nov. 1949 and their purpose is to care for cerebral palsy cases and "any handicapped person who can furnish a doctor's prescription". A compromise was reached when Wells agreed to building a masonry wall and planting a screen of trees between the restaurant and the homes. This was frowned upon by the petitioners who insisted either upon a revocation of the variance, or a high earthen mound separating the commercial area from the residences. An hour long discussion was concluded when Major Charles A. Pearson insisted the only thing the city could do was ask the developers to build the wall and the tree screen. VOTER REGISTRAR AT HOME LOAN SEPT. 10 THRU 13 Mrs. Doris Jacobsen and Mrs. Georgine Iseli, deputy registrars of voters, will be stationed at Home Savings and Loan Association's Anaheim office, 211 East Center Street, next Monday, Sept. 10, to Thursday to sign up prospective voters for the November 6th presidential election. This was announced today by W. B. Sheppard, assistant secretary of the Anaheim branch, who said that Mrs. Jacobsen and Mrs. Iseli, Anaheim residents, will be in the office from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on these four days. Sheppard emphasized that September 13 will be the last day to register. County Clerk Lynn B. Wallace revealed there are seven classes of citizens who need to register by Sept. 13. He listed these as follows: Those who will become 21 years of age by November 6; those who have moved since the last election; those who have changed their names; those who wish to change their party affiliation; failed to vote in the 1954 elections and whose names were cancelled from the registration list; new residents of California, who have lived in the state for one year. Alcohol Tax Up Over Last Year State revenues from excise taxes on the distribution of alcoholic beverages during the year ending June 30, totaled $35,902,328. The amount, which includes collections of $31,518,100 on distilled liquor and $4,384,228 on beer and wine, represents an increase of 72 percent over revenues for the preceding year. Excise taxes on hard liquor increased 90 percent while those on beer and wine rose by a modest 5 percent. The figuers do not reflect any sizable growth in the use of alcoholic beverages by Californians. Instead, the increased revenues are almost wholly the result of the first full year of taxing distilled liquor at the rate of $1.50 per gallon compared to 80 cents in previous years. Gallonage consumption of liquor increased only by one-half of one percent, beer consumption by 4 percent, and wine consumption by 6½ percent. 68 More Homes On Mail Delivery According to an announcement by Congressman James B.

Chevrolet of Metro Bus Riders Get Reduced Fare Reduced transportation costs for more than 3-million passengers on Metropolitan Coach Lines' routes in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties went into effect, beginning Sept. 1, the company announced today. Metro President J. L. Haugh said the riders will save $150,000 annually as a result of a decrease in the Federal ten percent transportation tax. Recently the exemption was raised from 35 cents to 60 cents under provisions of the Kean Act enacted by Congress and signed by President Eisenhower. The legislation was supported by Senators Thomas H. Kuchel and William A. Knowland. Metropolitan Coach Lines carried a total of 60,000,000 passengers annually throughout its system. An effort will be made next year to eliminate all of the transportation tax. According to an announcement by Congressman James B. Utt (R-28th 'Dist.) city delivery will be extended to the 7500 to 7700 blocks and 9000 block of Rome Avenue and the 9700 block of Ira Court, located in the west section of Anaheim, which was effective Sept. 5.

PLANNING COMMISSION OKAY VARIANCES, RECLASSIFICATIONS Four out of five requested reclassifications highlighted the business Tuesday afternoon when the Anaheim Planning Commission met in regular session.

Gregory, Pasadena, had requested a reclassification on a parcel of land lying 600' south of Orangewood Avenue on the east side of Harbor Blvd. from R-A to C-2 general commercial. In denying the request, the planners made it clear they were not averse to the commercial zone, but in order to better control the installations in that particular area, they would prefer to effect the zone change by means of a variance rather than by reclassification. Approval for reclassification of two parcels of land adjacent to a newly purchased school and city park site was given William Friedman who intends to build a 30 to 40 unit apartment building. The parcels involved nine separate lots, slated for construction of multiple units, and the Orval R. Sommerstedt of Fullerton, is the developer for this project. One objective, according to Sommerstedt, was to promote and develop a top swimming team, representing Anaheim, for local and national competitions and swim meets.

To include a swimming pool, patio, masonry wall, lawns for each trailer space, shuffleboard courts and tropical landscaping, the projected park will have some 60 to 70 trailer spaces and will be designed to accommodate the largest trailers built. Restrictions against small or obsolete trailers will be maintained and the park will be run in accordance with the best practices of the trailer park association, stated Sardone. It was brought out before the commission that the "in lieu tax", levied against mobile homes in lieu of real estate property tax, now is returned 100 percent to the community in which the park is located. With this tax divided equally between the county, city and the school district, Orange County received $83,966 in revenue from this source last year, said proponents of the park. The construction of two swimming pools were granted special use permits. The first pool to be open to the public for a fee, will be built on the south side of Ball Road, east of Brookhurst Avenue.
