Superintendent of Light & Power Major additions for three power substations and a utility yard in Anaheim, costing a total $1.5 million, will be recommended as the electrical portion of a proposed bond issue to go before the voters Oct. 8. Four separate studies were used to determine these recommended improvements which are designed to provide adequate utility service for Anaheim under a normal growth pattern through 1967. The first study was made by the Bechtel Corp. during the later part of 1958. On the strength of their report a master plan was adopted for the city's Utility Department. Like all constructive plans, it was made flexible to meet the demands of the future. Then in 1959 a 100-man citizen committee for capital improvements in Anaheim reviewed the master plan and made further research into the electrical system. On the committee's recommendations, the first portion of a physical progressive development plan to increase electrical power facilities at a normal rate with Anaheim's expansion, was approved in a bond issue in 1960. Provides Revenue Said the committee report: "The Anaheim Utility Department is a major source of revenue and contributes to the city's low tax rate. Our recommendation includes the first steps necessary, according to the Bechtel report and our own analysis, to enable the city to keep pace with the demands on its electrical system." Those first bonds, to carry Anaheim through 1965, provided for the construction of two new substations and the purchase of two Edison Co. facilities at a cost of $2,770,000. The committee left further recommendations for subsequent development to future studies. Two years later, in 1962, with most of that first phase nearing completion, another load study was made by the H. Zinder & Associates, Engineering Firm, which projected the future load growth of the Anaheim system.

To date the payroll has consumed the major part of the attention as the council has sought The actual budget, accompanied by the annual budget message of Murdock, is expected to be presented to the city council at the regular meeting on June 25. This meeting, as are all council meetings, will be open to the public and provides an opportunity for public comment on any portion of the budget.

May Decide Metro Plea The percentage of people in Orange county who have employment in Los Angeles county is to be the critical point in decision as to whether this will be classed as Metroman or not. This was the burden of Frank Cisar's remarks within the city before returning to Washington for further consideration and analysis of criteria figures on him. Cisar, chairman of the federal criminal - Committee on Area Notifications, Bureau of the Budget, led a special trip to the country to see for himself the various laws made in a Washington extension by key county officials. The request of Orange county separation from Los Angeles Beach metropolitan district taken to the federal capital group of officials headed by City Supervisor William Philips. Two major items are pressing upon the Anaheim City Council for resolution which will have their effect upon local citizens, particularly for the next year. The two items are the annual budget and the city payroll, which is actually an item on the budget. To date the payroll has consumed the major part of the attention as the council has sought to thrash out completely the claims and assertions of employees. Several meetings have been held with employees by City Manager Keith Murdock and Director of Personnel, Roy Heissner with various members of the council as intent listeners. Pay Still Studied The payroll question is still under study by the council. All of the facets for consideration are believed to have been presented to the council, Heissner has declared. It is anticipated by Heissner that the payroll question will probably be settled by the council about July 1. As a part of the annual budget, the payroll flexibility presents somewhat of a problem for reconciliation. Budget expert Fred Sorsabal has declared that the anticipated maximum of adjustments has been included in the present budget estimate. This figure is $300,000. The total payroll will be in the neighborhood of $6.5 million. There is always the possibility the city council may decide upon pay raises and adjustments that exceed the present provisions of the budget. If the budget, which is scheduled for consideration within a week, were approved with the present payroll figures, then the actual salary adjustments for employees might be a month late in being effective. The budget itself is a "big" problem, closely estimated to be at $20,089,000. Broken down into its components, however, it is more readily recognized. Bellmon is GOP Group Top Speaker The first Republican Governor in Oklahoma history will make his first official visit to California to be the featured speaker at the first full-membership meeting of Republican Associates of Orange County.

Taxi Permit In Tie Vote The Anaheim City Council split two to two over the issue of a second taxi cab company operating in the city and put over until next Tuesday a final decision on the case. The application of "The American Cab Co." headed by Gene Rogers and Martin J. Lockne, was offered at this week's council meeting but the stand-off vote left the matter in the air until the next session June 25, when Mayor Rex Coons will be present. Coons was absent from Tuesday's sessions as he escorted Frank Cisar, Washington metropolitan area expert, during Cisar's final day of visits within the county.
