This is the latest word and present status of the situation as seen by Joe Geisler, Anaheim city attorney. As a consequence the city is further delaying the filing of its action in the State Supreme Court that would seek to obtain a ruling as to the legality of the PUC move obstructing the city from carrying out its Superior Court eminent domain approval. It is possible, as a result of a hearing during the past week before the PUC, that the commission may rule Dyke can accept the money for the Anaheim interests but placing some $160,000 in escrow impounds to cover customer paybacks and payments to contractors for main extension agreements. Dyke is understood to consider this arrangement satisfactory. Anaheim CHP Member Upped Traffic Officer Robert L. Mankin, assigned to the California Highway Patrol's Anaheim Area more than 10 years, has been promoted to sergeant and transferred to West Los Angeles Area, Capt. Floyd Winchell, local commander, announced. The promotion and transfer were effective July 1. A member of the Patrol for 12 years, Mankin was assigned to Barstow following his cadet training. He also served in San Bernardino Area before transferring to Anaheim in December of 1932. $2.5 Million Proposed For Fall Election By THORNTON PIERSALL Public Works Director Of the estimated $12.9 million bond issue now being prepared to go before the Anaheim voters on Oct. 8, $2.5 million has been slated to continue building the storm drain system for the city. Until five years ago Anaheim had relatively no storm drain system due to the lack of any major channels to take the runoff. In times of heavy rains the low areas of the city became flooded causing hazardous traffic conditions and serious street and property damage. Since 1958 the Orange County Flood Control has been constructing dams and channels for county wide protection. As the Anaheim portions of these channels were completed, Anaheim began to build her system of storm drains to carry excess water from flooded areas into the channels. The first small storm drains were financed out of the Public Works' annual operating capital budget, and only the most critical areas nearest the channels could be relieved as capital outlay was available. Committee Study In 1959 a public works committee part of a 100 man citizens committee working on capital improvements in Anaheim, made a study of the city's storm drain requirements. They reported that the County Flood Control channels were being built on a 15 year storm cycle basis, and could be brought up to a 25 year storm cycle basis by lining the channels with concrete. The committee said their information indicated that at maximum population density, Anaheim had a need then for approximately 16.63 miles of underground storm drains based on a 10 year storm cycle which would cover "only the minimum drainage requirements."

Stadium Site To Be Western A new high school stadium will be built on Western High School grounds, the Anaheim Union High School District has determined, with a second stadium, probably necessary in a three-year span, to go to either Magnolia or Savanna high schools. The Western stadium is to cost some $100,000 trustees declared in releasing information as to their decision, with a tax override of about three and three-fourth cents to be levied to pay initial construction costs. The first phase of the building program will provide only 5,000 seats, with 5,000 additional seats to be added a year or more later as the need is demonstrated. There has been considerable discussion during the past several months as to the most desirable location for the new stadium with both Magnolia and Savanna also considered in the running. Final determinations were made on the basis of population as well as certain inadequacies at Savanna with regard to access streets and sewer capabilities. Colonist Moves In Bank System Hilton C.
