Dedicated To The Best For FUTURE CITIZENS ANAHEE Established in 187 Volume 91—Number 49 12 Pages NEW CHURCH BUILDING FOR ANAHEIM SITE — The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have submitted plans to the city Planning Commission for a new building to be located at 827 South Walnut. The structure will take some two years to build, according to official work of clearing the site. The team indicated in the above architect's rooms are slated to have first priority. Tom Sessions Resigns Post Thomas M. Sessions, for the past six months acting as editor of the Anaheim Gazette, this week resigned his position with the publication. A lack of rapport on certain operational policies was declared to have led to the action. Sessions stated he had no definite plans for the future. He is a retired Colonel, U.S. Army, and lives, with Mrs. Sessions, at 11501 Bart Drive in Garden Grove. Prior to his Army career Sessions had some 10 years experience in the newspaper field, having gradually occupied all of the editorial desks on a daily newspaper. He later was the head of a large printing and publishing company. He was elected vice president of the South Dakota Press Club at the time of its formation in 1929. Anticipating U.S. entry into World War II, Sessions, as a member of the National Guard, prepared for the expected federalization by attendance at the Army Field Artillery School, Fort Sill, and subsequently at the Army's Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He served overseas during all of World War II in the South Pacific.

C. — Senator Clair Engle (D-Calif.) is now a member of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee which began hearings on the Militaery Pay Raise Bill July 16. The bill, already passed by the House of Representatives, would increase the basic pay of officers and enlisted men with more than two years of service. Senator Engle, a member of the full Senate Armed Services Committee, said he believes a pay raise is "absolutely necessary of us going to maintain na modern, highly technical, effective military." "We need to raise the pay of our armed services," Senator Engle said, "to retain qualified, highly trained people on active duty and to encourage a higher number of junior officers and enlisted men to make a career of the military."

"Don't Rock Boat" Urged By MWD The Metropolitan Water District Board of Directors, in a resolution directed to the attention of Governor Brown and other State and Federal officials, today expressed the District's desire to avoid any action on the part of the State which would militate against the possibility of a rehearing of the Colorado River suit pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. In the resolution adopted by the District Board of Directors, it was pointed out that a final decree in the suit has not been framed and that a petition for a rehearing is pending. The resolution also urged State officials to protect at all times California's priorities in use of 4,400,000 acre-feet of Colorado River water annually. City Council A general guide for the development of Anaheim in the future years is now before the City Council for final action. It is the result of some years of effort on the part of the City Planning Commission, in particular, but to which nearly every facet of local government has made some contribution. The plan, known as the General Plan, was placed before the council at a joint meeting of the two bodies Tuesday. A hearing will be held on the proposal before final action by the council. The plan does not freeze the zoning of the city for the years ahead but does give developers and property owners some insight into the general plan for city growth and change. The plan retains flexibility for council action to change or emend as future conditions warrant. An important feature of the plan will be the recognition given the downtown business area as a "C.O." zone which will permit the creation of high rise office buildings if the redevelopment of the area falls into the pattern envisaged in the ERA report.

The county seat city led the rest of the Orange cities with a fiscal year total of $2,881,946 for a gain of 17 per cent for the year. Anaheim lagged behind with $2,662,820 for the year's total which represented a gain of 19 per cent over the previous year. The quarterly totals, as reported by the eState Board of Equalization, showed Anaheim with $634,590 as compared with $524,473 for the previous comparable period. Santa Ana, in the same months, received $673,713 and $582,260. Nevins Makes Report The figures were released by Richard Nevins, Southern California Member of the State Board. Total fiscal year returns to other major cities in the county were: Garden Grove, $1,304,487 for a gain of 25.6 per cent; Fullerton, $951,803 for a gain of 20.2 per cent; Bena Park, $678,704 for a gain of 20.4 per cent and Costa Mesa with $687,341 for a gain of 28.5 per cent. State-wide, local sales and use tax distributions resulting primarily from sales during the first quarter of 1983 amounted to $61,-490,400, according to Nevins. This revenue allocated to cities and counties during May and June was 7.8 per cent higher than distributions during the second quarter of 1982. Business Better Distributions to cities and counties during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1963, totaled $261,220,900 or 8.6 per cent more than in the preceding fiscal year. Nevins noted that almost half of this increase is attributable to general improvement in the business situation, while population growth and inflation account for the rest of it. The one per cent levy on first-quarter business gave rise to $48,-596,000 for California's cities, $8,-804,800 for her counties, and $4,-089,600 for the City and County of San Francisco.

(Continued on Page 2) V & C Bureau Asks Raise An increased budget of some $8,000 over that scheduled in the current city budget is being sought by the Anaheim Area Visitor and Convention Bureau for the coming year's operations. There is presently $18,500 ear-marked for the bureau in the budget but a special report submitted to the City Council at their meeting Tuesday night reveals that the bureau desires to expand its activities during the coming year to the tune of $26,540 from the city government, $35,275 from present bureau membership firms plus about $7,500 in new memberships. This would bring the total for the bureau operations to $62,315 for the year. During the past year the bureau spent $40,667 in its activities of bringing and servicing conventions and visitors to the city area. The report indicates the bureau has already succeeded in booking 8 groups for meetings within the city, with an expected attendance of nearly 80,000 persons. These visitors are forecast to spend nearly $6,000,000 while in the city, which for tax purposes would net the city some $43,000 in sales tax and over $60,000 in room taxes. The bureau maintains that prospect of even further dividends from their efforts warrants the increased budget allowance.
