2—ANAHEIM GAZETTE Wednesday, March 20, 1963 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Charter to be Drafted; Will Study Ward System The question of whether to study first the egg or the chicken was finally resolved this week by the special Citizens Charter Study Committee. There has been a basic question in the minds of many of the committee members as to whether to resolve first, the need for a city charter before then moving forward as to its contents. A second position has been to envolve a draft charter which could then be studied on a comparative basis with the law form of city government and determine which offered the most advantages to Anaheim. The charter committee voted this week to draft a charter. The vote was 15 to 2. Much To Be Done Admitting they had only "scratched the surface" in members voted essentially to continue their study since the final decision to put the charter to a vote is up to city council. Adop- tion of a charter ultimately is up to the electorate. Attorney Harry Williams, consultant for the group, said that the next step the committee must take is to determine if the city should have a ward system, if th mayor should be elected at large, what other city positions should be elected, and how many should serve on the City Council. Meet Next Week The committee agreed to discuss, and possibly take action on the ward system and other questions at its next meeting on March 27, Williams said numerous other points that will have to be studied in the coming months, such as civil service and tax procedures can be taken up when the above four major decisions have been made.

A re-vamped gosoline tax measure, the so-called Collier bill, which will increase the tax on the motorist, received city council support this week. The bill has been changed to permit greater flexibility in the use of the money raised by the increase. The city council finds the bill will permit some 8 percent of the funds made available to the city to be used for maintenance purposes as contrasted with the original bill's restriction to some 40 per cent. The city has been spending nearly $500,000 out of general funds for street work which, officials declare, would be met by the funds to accrue under the Collier bill. "The advantages of the new form of the bill." Thorton E. Pier-sall, Director of Public Works asserted, "are that a city may use the funds to match its own particular conditions. A city that is growing may divert the funds into construction, while a city that is at a levelling off point may utilize the bulk of the money for maintenance purposes." The councilmen were highly in favor of the tax as it is one of the few applied to users and then returned to users in some form of direct support. Keith Murdock, city manager, stressed the advantage of the bill for its translation of the cost of maintenance of the streets directly upon the user of the streets. Worker Figures Rise; Idle Also Increasing This form of a tax is popular," he said, "as it is rect charge on a user and so to relieve the property owner. Murdock, and members of city council, however, did not close any plans for compaction reduction in the city budget to affect the "relief to the taxpayer." Worker Figures Rise; Idle Also Increasing Total employment in the Los Angeles - Long Beach - Orange County Area during February established a new record for the month with a total of 2,895,700 Albert B. Tieburg, Director of Employment, announced today. This was 8,600 less jobs than in January however. The February total represented a gain of 126,800 jobs during the past year, an increase of 4.6 per cent. Unemployment for the month at 189,200 although under last February's 191,500, showed an increase over the previous month. Because of seasonal and other factors, Tieburg reported, February employment declined from the January total of 2,904,300 and 177,400 in January. Both the non-manufacturing and manufacturing divisions contributed to the reduction of 8,600 workers between January and February. Most of the drop occurred in retail trade as clerks hired for the January clearance sales and inventory-taking were released. Losses were also posted in construction and agriculture as unfavorable weather conditions during the early part of the month delayed the start of seasonal re-hiring in these industries. Factory employment declined for the third straight month as layoffs continued in the aerospace industry. Seasonal gains on the other hand, were reported in the non-durable goods industries, chiefly in apparel as the production of spring and summer lines was underway. Mid-year hiring in the public schools led an increase in government durase in the past month. Reflecting the seasonal contraction in employment and entry of mid-year graduates into the labor force joblessness rose from 177,400 in January to 189,200 in February. Unemployment constituted 6.1 per cent of the civilian labor force in February, up from 5.8 per cent last month. The rate in February 1962 was 6.5 per cent.

Kuchal California, the Assistant Reporter Leader, said recently in a corded radio broadcast. Observing unemployment mains "a paramount problem and consumer buying capita must be increased," the State California Senator indicated that oppose at least some features of various new programs enacted by President Kennedy will favor certain tax law changes during the present session Congress. "I want to vote for a reduction in taxes but I want to grow that reduction in taxes on a sparing program that will not pay the fiscal policy of the United States in a dangerous situation where our deficit grows by levy and bounds," Kuchel said. The Assistant Republican Lawer said he does not plan "blind to vote 'no' on every Fed program" but said he rejects "the old adage that if a little Seven Sirens For City CD First Set-up Seven powerful sirens will form the initial alert system for the city of Anaheim's civil defense program, Paul Hayes, coordinator, disclosed this week. Plans for their installation have already been forwarded to the California Disaster Office for approval. The cost of the warning system is expected to be in the neighborhood of $31,000, Hayes said. Installation would be accomplished by city crewmen and would be controlled from the city's new police headquarters building. Additional sirenes can be easily added to the system, Hayes said, in the event new areas are annexed to the city. Now the only way citizens can be notified of a civil defense alert is by police and fire emergency vehicles circulating through the streets with their sirens sounding. A portion of the cost of the system will be financed by the federal government. The City Council has ruled that the federal government has the responsibility of providing the country with defense, so should participate in purchase of the system. Hayes said attack warnings will be sounded on the sirens upon receipt of signals from federal warning centers over the "bell and lights" system located in the police department.

Senator Thomas H. Kuchel of California, the Assistant Republican Leader, said recently in a reed radio broadcast. Observing unemployment remains "a paramount problem" consumer buying capacity must be increased, the Senior California Senator indicated he oppose at least some features various new programs advocated by President Kennedy and favor certain tax law changes in the present session of Congress. I want to vote for a reduction taxes but I want to ground reduction in taxes on a spend-program that will not place fiscal policy of the United States in a dangerous situation are our deficit grows by leaps bounds," Kuchel said. The Assistant Republican Lead said he does not plan "blindly note 'no' on every Federal program" but said he rejects old adage that if a little is good a lot is better." Such a principle, he commented, appears often to motivate "people in the Congress" regarding legislative proposals which are likely to involve big additional Federal outlays. Kuchel condemned present individual - income surtaxes and corporate taxes as "confiscatory," vigorously opposed proposals to limit personal expense deductions and maintained his prior position against suggested repeal the dividend - credit feature of the revenue law. He spoke out sharply against double - taxation, adding that the United States has "a problem of balancing the increase of capital investments which we need to get our country moving again." The Assistant Republican Leader approved of the objectives of the Administration tax program, saying "we have a situation where our economy is not receiving the stimulus which it needs. We need to increase our rate of growth." Riker Manager The Festival of Opera announced today the appointment of Geoffrey W. Riker of Laguna Beach as business manager for the 1963 season.
