TV Audience Told Be The city's proposed $12 million bond issue will not mean a hike in taxes or increase in utility rates, Mayor A. J. Schutte told a closed circuit television audience last week. City officials made a pitch for the 8-part bond issue (due for a vote April 12) over the television system of the Anaheim School District. AN ESTIMATED 1,000 persons watched the unusual telecast in auditoriums of 17 schools. Each of the five Councilmen spoke briefly on different portions of the program and City Manager Keith Murdoch gave detailed descriptions of each proposal. On the library issue, Councilman Glen Fry said Anaheim utilized Andrew Carnegie funds in 1908 to construct the present library for a population of 3,000.

Gen. Stanley Mosk. Mosk, the state's chief law enforcement officer, claims such clubs are unlawful. It is illegal, Mosk ruled, for a hotel or establishment to use a duplicate license for separate rooms restricted to members of a particular club or organization. FRED WERDER, boss of the "Oak Room" key club in the Disneyland Hotel, reportedly said he would consult with his attorney on the Mosk ruling. "It sounds as if it (the ruling) was made specifically for us. We certainly fit into the wording of the chinlen." Werder said. Mosk said that it is possible for private clubs to restrict their membership, but felt it was unlawful for a public house to segregate within the jurisdiction of a liquor license. The state constitution places the sale and serving of alcoholic beverages on conditions prescribed by the legislature. Under the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, the legislature defines public premises separately from club." "Club" was termed a corporation or association which is the owner, lessee or occupant of an establishment operated solely for objects of a social or athletic nature, but not for pecuniary gain (cash profit), having a bona membership list, and the majority of members of which pay dues at least once a year, and the property as well as the advantages of which belong to the members. It also sells alcoholic beverages only to its members and bona fide guests, states section 23037 of the ABC Act. Mosk said a general type license requires premises must be maintained and open to the public. Bailout at 3,500 Feet Salk Sixth Grader Is World's Youngest 'Chutist At 12, Nick Neely of 9862 Pacific St. is the world's youngest parachutist. The 70-pound Jonas Salk School sixth grade student set the world to gasping in amazement last week when he bailed out of a single engine plane 3,500 feet above Lake Elsinore. THE PARACHUTE CLUB of America immediateBoth of his fretting parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roland Neely, were on the dry lake bed when Nick touched down only 25 yards from his target. The jump has been in the planning for almost a year and young Nick received extensive training from his former paramarine father and an ex-Army paratrooper, Joe Parker of Garden Grove. THE 'CHUTE' for the job was the type used as an emergency back pack by military paratroopers and Nick's emergency parachute was a 20-foot canopy of the type used to drop supplies. Nick wore a powder blue jump helmet and suit made by his mother. Joe Parker, who made the jump with Nick, said the boy never hesitated once he was told "to hook up his statis line and jump." Nick says he hopes to jump again.

Order to Trim Dyke Water Rates Delayed An order by the California Public Utilities Commission rolling back the rates of Dyke Water Company of Garden Grove has been stayed by a petition for a rehearing. The order was to have become effective April 18. Last March 2, the Commission ordered Dyke to reduce its flat rates from $3.75 to $3 a month, authorized under an interim decision. Dyke was also required to start a metering program, installing at least 400 meters a month. Dyke serves some 23,000 customers in Garden Grove, Westminster, Anaheim and adjacent areas in Orange County. Union Boss Hurt Leland D. Brooks, 45, president of the Retail Clerks Union in Buena Park, was injured when his car hit a power pole here. Brooks suffered head injuries and was treated at Anaheim Memorial Hospital following an accident on Highway 99 at Stanton Ave. Murdoch said the bonds would construct a central library branch library near Magnolia and Broadway. Library Cost: $1,160,000 In the fire department, Councilman Joe Thompson said it is necessary to maintain present fire insurance rates "the fire department must keep pace with the growth of the city." Murdoch said that besides an inadequate headquarters, there three new stations and three more are required, one in south central area, one in the northeast industrial and industrial area and one in the southeast industrial area. THE BONDS would acquire land for these stations, add a plea for a new police station, Murdoch said the jail cells, no provision for segregation of male and female inmate prisoners and the only source of heat is a single heated heater. The crime lab is too small and the detective bureau is more than cramped for efficient police work. Police Buildnig Cost: $750,000 By purchasing the California Edison portion of the two existing electrical sub-stations and constructing two additional sub-stations, the entire city can best be served at lower cost by bringing all power in through one point, said Murdoch. Electrical Cost: $2,770,000 Councilman Charles Pearson said, "If we don't take care of our water requirements, none of the other issues will have any point." Within the next 10 years, he said, we must have additional water sources, the so-called state water plan will bring water from Northern California, sea water conversion may also be practical sometime in the future.

SURVEY SLATED Should Civic Center Stay In Downtown, or Move? SURVEY SLATED Should Civic Center Stay In Downtown, or Move? Four research firms have been retained to make a survey as to the best location for a new police building and library should the voters approve the projects in the April 12 municipal election. Downtown businessmen have voiced serious concern that the two facilities will be built on a 10-acre site the city owns at Broadway and Palm Aves. BUSINESS SPOKESMEN said such an undertaking could lead to moving the city's civic center out of the downtown area. "Moving the civic center out of the downtown area will seriously affect business," said banker Dick Gray. "We want to keep this (the downtown) the central hub for all Anaheim." Gay said that outlying shopping centers have already caused a business loss for the downtown area but that the presence of city offices in the downtown region continues to bring shoppers into the area. BANK OF AMERICA EXECUTIVE Gay said that a badly needed office and commercial building will probably locate near the city hall and "if the civic center is moved away from downtown, the central section will never realize this facility." Firms retained to make the survey are Stanford Research Institute, Real Estate Research Corp., Victor Gruen and Associates and Booz, Allen and Hamilton. A decision will be made following the election.

Water Cost: $3,800,000 Councilman Rex Coons stressed what he called the importance of acquiring land for proposed park sites now. What little land is available for possible park locations, he said, is threatened with building programs. Delay means no additional parks for Anaheim. Park Cost: $1,400,000 On the street proposition, Murdock said widening some major and primary streets to four lane streets is necessary for safety and economy. Street Cost: $40,0000 On storm drains, he said, the most urgent portions of this program should be considered at once to take the water off the streets and into the recently constructed flood control channels.

The latest hassle over advertising and directional signs resolves: ANAHEIM LIONS CLUB which asked the city council permission to erect direction sign at eight locations where street intersections are main routes into he city. A few years ago the city declared that such signs were illegal. THAT PUT THE LIONS CLUB request in question, but argument was re-opened by the fact that City Councilman Thompson pointed out that Chamber of Commerce and Disland are in violation of the ruling. The Council said it would take the issue under study. What the Lions Club signs will do is still uncertain. State City Utility Bills If you're rate on city utility bills it's going to cost you dough. The City Council has voted to charge a $2 collection on all delinquent utility bills. The decision was made after the Council was informed that it would cost $15,000 a year to send out dequent-notices by registered mail. About 10 per cent of the city's customers fail to bill on time.
