CITY INVESTIGATES ... Wage, Promotion Inequity Charged City Attorney Preston Turner will investigate workload details within the city's electrical division in answer to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Worker union's claims of wage and promotion inequities. Albert J. Coughlin, business manager of IBEW Local 47, said the workload report was one of several key points discussed in last Friday's meeting of union representatives and city administrators. The IBEW, an affiliate of the Orange County Central Labor Council, has been asked by "approximately 75 per cent" of the employees within the city electrical division to represent them in grievance matters with the city. Coughlin said another meeting with City Manager Keith Murdoch has been scheduled for Aug. 24. Discussing the various issues Friday were Murdoch, Turner, Utilities director, George Oelkers, and Max Moody, electrical superintendent, of the city as well as Coughlin and Dallas R. Lore of the IBEW Local 47. Also sitting in on the meeting was Robert Shively, a lineman who has been employed by the City of Anaheim for five years. The union was called into the electrical division five months ago to aid employees in their grievances against what has been termed "promotion and wage intral division employees to decide whether they want the IBEW to represent them. The city council, at least informally, has claimed it cannot recognize the city's employee association. The employee association charges that a nationwide union attack on Orange County cities cities will be launched on Labor Day has been denied by Peter J. Remmel, executive secretary of the Orange County Central Labor Council. "However," said Remmel, "this does not mean that an individual union will not aid employees within city departments if that need is warranted — such as in the Anaheim case." Jerry Hill, president of the Anaheim Municipal Employees Association, held a press conference last week in which he said his group would fight the union representation. Up to last Friday, the union had claimed only five members out of the approximately 80 employee electrical division. However, Murdoch has confirmed that the city has received the names of another 22 employees within one department and union officials now are admitting "at least 75 per cent membership." The union has been seeking city sanction for an election within the electrical division — even by secret ballot or by choice between New Library Facility Peak City Population Does the City of Anaheim have to build a new Central Library every 54 years?

Ask Election The union has asked that the city approve an election by elec Gerty’s Gamble May Prove Proverbial Ugly Duckling One bright duck in the Knotts Berry Farm coop is going to go squawking to her pediatrician shortly if she hatches what Farm officials are hoping she will hatch. Her protests will probably hint on European drugs with the suggestion that thalidomide was slipped into her feed when she sees the pink partridge on pogo pins rise out of the shells and shambles of her nest one of these days. Had she known, she might have flown to Sweden, but young Mrs. Duck has been slipped Gerty’s flamingo egg. Park officials had to do something when the flamingo park lake developed a leak and all the water drained out. The egg had to be kept wet but there was no water in the ditch to keep it sopped. As workmen sought the leaking pipe they dug around the pond. Gerty, her nest and her egg had to go. And the flighty femme forsook her prospective fledgling. Park officials tried to woe Gerty back to her egg. But she would have none of it. "I've kept that thing warm and wet for forty-four days and I'm not going back. I've slaved at this hot rock day and night. I've sat my bunions to the bone working on that gold brick. I've stared at these four walls until I'm blue in the beak waiting for this egg head to hatch and what do I get for it? What do I get, I ask ya? A leak in the lake. A flaw in the flue. I'm going on strike!" With that, Gerty stuck up her beak and beat a retreat. Park officials, left with the bird in the hand, sought a relief pitcher. They brought in the duck and set her on the highly publicized, glamorous globule. When and if the flamingo egg hatches, there's going to be one greatly surprised duck at Knotts. But confusion will reign supreme if the Webfoots fall in love with it and refuse to give Gerty back her babe.

When the library opens its doors in the spring of 1963, it will not be staffed or stocked to handle this peak population, Jordan explained. However, the building was designed to be expanded as the population and needs of the people of Anaheim expand. The most noticeable exterior change, he continued, will be the addition of a third floor. Other Changes Other changes that can be made in the versatile Central Library building are the relocation of departments, expansion and addition of new facilities and services as the people's needs dictate, and the addition of a local history room—as seen fit by the "Friends of the Library Group". The over-all design of the building is completely flexible and will allow change independent of the structural frame of the building. As Anaheim Library needs grow and change, so the building will fill them without unnecessary expenditure of future funds.

Land proposed for annexation to the city lies between Brookhurst and Gilbert St. and extends from the south city limits to within one mile of the north city limit.
