"Lack of planning, last minute departures, long tedious stretches of driving without rest and trying to squeeze in a few extra miles of driving each day are all conducive of irritation and accidental potential. "The better and more enjoyable way is to plan your trip, allowing sufficient time each day to stop and relax occasionally," Caldwell stated. "Eat a substantial breakfast, but avoid heavy meals during the day to help eliminate the possibility of becoming logy or sleepy." "If you leave the state, it is well to review the traffic rules and regulations of other states you plan to pass through," he continued.

Anaheim Planning Commission Active 12-Story Hotel Green Light Anaheim Goes to Court with Dyke Water Co. Over Pipe 'Confiscation' remming from an incident of several months ago, Anaheim city kmen from the water department arrived at the tract at Katella Avenue and Harbor Blvd., early Tuesday morning and proceeded cut-lines allegedly belonging to Dyke Water Company, who had servicing the tract prior to its annexation to the City of Ana-na. The city took over the servicing of 38 residents in the tract on the Tuesday morning move. Officials of Dyke Water Comcharged Anaheim with the cost of $8,489.25 worth of pipe water hydrants, and said a "sneaky" operation start-out about 3:30 a.m., the city had the Dyke lines and took over servicing of their customers, explaining Anaheim's coun-charge at the Tuesday evene-meeting of the City Coun-City Attorney Preston Tur-produced a photostatic copy of work order signed by Daner, purchasing agent for the Construction Co., builders quiry as to why the crew started so early in the morning, City Utilities Director George Oelkers denied that work was started at 3:30 a.m., and stated that work didn't start until 6:15 a.m. This time was chosen because it would be of least inconvenience for the residents. The publicized presence of police officers at the scene on Tuesday was a precaution taken in anticipation of work hampering by Dyke people, which had accrued the last time the city connected water mains in the area. At the regular Monday afternoon session of Anaheim Planning Commission, a $20 million 2000-room hotel was given the green light for construction plans. The matter now reverts to the City Council for further action in permits and granting of variances. Request for variance was submitted by Triple A Mortgage Co., of La Habra, owner and developer of the enterprise. The application for a variance was signed by William Gribble, Jr., president of the firm. Rumors have been going around for several days of the proposed hotel for this area and the action of the Planning Commission now gives the developers something concrete upon which to start working on blueprints. The hotel site is located on the southwest corner of So. West Street and Katella Avenue, adjacent the south part of the parking area for Disneyland, the area now remaining an orange grove. A "sneaky" operation start about 3:30 a.m., the city had the Dyke lines and took over servicing of their customers, explaining Anaheim's countcharge at the Tuesday evening meeting of the City Council. Attorney Preston Turproduced a photostatic copy of work order signed by Dan Water, purchasing agent for the Construction Co., builders the tract, on Dec. 28, last year, using the Leo Weller Combo to remove the Dyke lines requesting the city of Anaheim to connect their line and serving the new subdivision. The city installed its lines that Turner stated, and Dyke urged the water lines back to company the next day. Turner also stated that "the Weiler Company disconnected the Dyke as instructed while our stood by. Our men did not in that line." he continued. We did was make our concession after the Weiler Co. had deleted their work." Turner further explained that this tract was developed entirely, the area had been fitted into the city and acting to a section of the Anaheim Municipal Code, "water be provided from the water tank of the City of Anaheim. Water mains shall be constructed serve each lot within the sub-zone area and shall be such and design as required by the land approved by the superintendent of light, water and air, and all service connections shall be laid to property prior to paving." Turner went on to say that it has no permit or franchise of the City of Anaheim to furrow water in this tract. "They into this tract and served people when the area was county territory," he said, since that has all become part of the city they have applied for a permit and have been illegally hooked that water line." On receipt of the first waits after the city lines were residents of the Teitz tract engaged the bills, charging 3:30 a.m. and stated that work didn't start until 6:15 a.m. This time was chosen because it would be of least inconvenience for the residents. The publicized presence of police officers at the scene on Tuesday was a precaution taken in anticipation of work hampering by Dyke people, which had occurred the last time the city connected water mains in the area. City officials denied that water rates would be higher. It was stated that Anaheim city water rate minimum is $1.75, considerably less than that of Dyke Water Company. It was also stated that pressure now in the lines is 70 pounds, which Oelkers said is also considerably higher than the pressure served by Dyke. Arraignment in the controversy has been set for Aug. 8 in Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal Court. Lilliam Rowlett To High Position In Telephone Co. When Lilliam Rowlett applied for a position as service representative with Pacific Telephone in October of 1941, the Anaheim exchange recorded a little over 3,000 telephones.

The hotel site is located on the southwest corner of So. West Street and Katella Avenue, adjacent the south part of the parking area for Disneyland, the area now remaining an orange grove. The developers have purchased the property at a reported price of $400,000, from L. W. Siewert, a resident of the area for 44 years. Reluctant to recommend the variance at first, the Planners were assured the development had sufficient financial backing for construction of the hotel, which Gribble said would be one of the largest in the United States. Citing the disastrous outcome of the Motel of the Stars development, which sold shares at $1 per share, and finally ended in court procedure because of bad management, the Planners held up on a prior request until more positive assurance could be given that the new project would not be operated along these same lines. The structure will be 12 stories or a basement, ten floors and a pent house, will have 30 or more fine shops on the first two floors, including a gas station and specialty shops. Two swimming pools are included in the plans, one at each end of the flared 'H' structure. The ten floors will each have 200 rooms. Included in the plant is a smart night club which will book only top available talent. A convention hall seating 4000 persons is also planned for the second floor. Gribble stated that a "top hotel chain" was interested in leasing the hotel following its completion. However, he was hesitant in naming the hotel chain and the financial firm who would furnish the capital, stating they did not wish their names mentioned at this early date. When City Council grants the building permit, the hotel is scheduled to begin construction by the first of 1958.

LILLIAM ROWLETT in Orange County. And to date about 35,000 telephones saturate the 38 square mile exchange area. The communications worker succeeds Jim Conn who has been named to staff supervisory activities in the company's Los Angeles headquarters. There he will coordinate number change projects in connection with the national direct distance dialing. The new telephone manager's story dates back to the early 1940's when Miss Rowlett started out on a cross-country journey from her native Oklahoma, destined to seek out a place to call home. "I found that spot when I drove through the heart of Orange County and saw the clean tree-lined streets and counted numerous churches in just a few short blocks," the manager said. After serving an apprenticeship as business office representative, the appointee was named to a supervisory status in 1951 as an aid effecting the Fullerton number change prior to the dial changeover the following year. She was later transferred back to Santa Ana as a full-fledged business office supervisor and remained in that status until December, 1955. She then had an extensive tour of duty in business (Continued on Page 4) Gribble, representing his firm, the Triple A Mortgage Co., and another firm in which he has an interest, the Westport Development Co. of Garden Grove, asked for a second variance on property at 1150 West Katella Avenue where they plan to build a $275,000 restaurant, the Magic Well Steak Club.
