Proposed Annexation
Another proposed annexation to the City of Anaheim was presented several weeks ago and at the Tuesday evening meeting, the City Clerk, Dene Williams, after canvassing the names on the petition, found the petition was short by ten qualified registrants so the hearing was set for April 9 in order that proponents of the annexation may get the required number of signatures.
