Historic Serra documents and artifacts will be displayed in the Plan Laid Before Council A method of financing that "knocks the props out from under the old-fashioned lease-back" is offered the City of Anaheim for its proposed auditorium-convention facility-exhibit hall. In a conference Tuesday with city officials, Robert C. Bulot, municipal financing consultant, declared that the firm he represents has eliminated many hidden costs from lease-back financing. Bulot said his firm, Stone & Youngberg of Los Angeles and San Francisco and the law firm of O'Melveney & Myers would prepare and submit to the City Council a financing program at their own risk, although at considerable expense. Given the amount of the city's outlay for the facility, the firm would submit a program "for acceptance or rejection," Bulot said. No charge would be made up to that point. Nonprofit Corporation Steps to be taken in putting the project together, Bulot said, are formation of a nonprofit corporation to build and operate the facility and issuance of bonds with the lease to the city as security. At the end of a 25-year period, or when the debt is paid, the non-profit corporation would be dissolved and all assets go to the city. City officials and employees could serve could be officers of the corporation but could not serve on the board of directors because of conflict-of-interest considerations, City Atty. Joseph Geisler noted. Not A City Debt The outlay for the facility, it was pointed out, would not be a city debt. The bonds would be employment is being made this week in Orange County by the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey Office in Los Angeles.

The late Vice President Alben Barkley was fond of relating the story of an old farmer friend in his home county who voiced sundry complaints against the administration. The "Veep" reminded the farmer that he had personally aided him in getting a farm loan the year before and two years previously he had helped him through red tape with the Veterans Administration. Exploded the farmer. "But what have you done for me LATELY?" Readers and advertisers — and taxpayers — have a right to ask that same question of a newspaper.

Should some of that land be re-zoned for other uses, such as apartments? No says the Planning Department in an industrial reanalysis report presented to the Planning Commissioners in their regular meeting Monday night. The meeting was marked by several heated arguments when Robert Dowling's request that his triangular shaped parcel bordering the Northeast Industrial Area be re-zoned to R-3 and was turned down. But the planning Commissioners after discussing the report and turning down the re-zoning stated members still haven't completely made up their minds and will discuss the matter in a joint meeting with the City Council. Topic of the discussion is expected to be over about whether the 2,280 net acres of industrial reserve now set up is realistic. The Planning Department has recommended that the commission should re-affirm its earlier approval of the large industrial reserves. Make Recommendations At the meeting Monday night Commissioners did not vote on the total number of acres, but voted instead on the following recommendations to the City Council: 1. That the county board of Supervisors be urged to make a Dr. Kellogg He Fund Profession Dr. Wm. C. Kellogg has been appointed chairman over the professional divisions in the forthcoming 1957-66 Anaheim. PATRICK'S DAY AT GYM — Universal Gym Machine in base-ment of new Anaheim Police Building is tried out by Patrolman Patrick Murphy (of the Fightin' Murphys) for benefit of any one who might doubt that he can swing a mean nightstick. Device was recommended by Gene Donnelly, Anaheim Union High School trainer-conditioner. Murphy observes the machine's primary purpose is to condition men, not necessarily to build them. Security Bank Buys Three-Acre Parcel Capt. Richard Burns, Industrial Manager of Penniman & Co., has arranged the sale of a three-acre bank site from Thomas A. Beyrie to the Security First National Bank. The new East Anaheim bank site will serve North American Aviation's huge Autonetics complex and will be situated across the street from the Autonetics office building on Anaheim Road. Both Autonetics and the City of Anaheim are closely scrutinizing all new proposals for development in the area. Burns reports, in order to avoid any land usage incompatible with long-range healthy industrial growth. The same site was rejected last year by the City Council after considerable study as to the feasibility of locating a convention center restaurant and hotel there. It was felt that a development including any residential use at all would necessarily be indirectly dependent on Autonetics contracts, would tend to overload the road system and might be affected by the noise of the industry in the area. "The presently proposed use as a site for the Security First National Bank was greeted by all as a fine addition to the area," says Burns. Penniman & Co. cooperated in the sale with the firm of John B. Kilroy Co. industrial realtors and developers, which pioneered the East Anaheim industrial development. Dr. Kellogg He Fund Professio Dr. Wm. C. Kellogg has been appointed chairman over the professional divisions in the forthcoming 1963-64 Anaheim - Western Communities United Fund Drive. Among professions which will be under Dr. Kellogg's chairmanship are dentists, physicians, accountants, architects, hospitals and clergy. Dr. Kellog explained: "This year we have the largest goal yet, $401,000.00, and it's going to be a big job once again. I am proud to accept the responsibility and challenge of taking part in this community endeavor. I am sure everyone will want to share Woman in Me Dr. Helen L. Morton of Richmond, Va., has been appointed fulltime physician at Orange State College, according to OSC President William B. Langsdorf.

The city council in a preliminary discussion agreed to allow a re-study of the ordinance by a committee of the dealers, councilmen, the Planning Commission, the Planning Department and oil industry representatives. More than 100 dealers packed the council chamber to overflowing, protesting the ordinance and calling it a "death knell" for all the service station dealers in Anaheim. Public hearing for the proposed ordinance is Sept. 3 but it will probably be continued for additional time to allow the dealers to submit their proposals to make an ordinance acceptable to both them and the city. Ralph Clark, a Richfield Dealer at Magnolia and La Palma Aves., and Service Station Dealers Committee chairman, took the Use Question Considered Critical Anaheim have too much zoned land? Should that land be re-zoned for such as apartments? The Planning Department industrial reanalysis presented to the Planning Commission in their regular Monday night.

That the county be encouraged to delay applications for residential development in this area (northeast of Anaheim) pending completion of the study. The report by planning Department head Dick Reese stated that Anaheim would have, if developed along current plans, 25 per cent of the county-wide need for developed industrial land by 1980. According to Reese's report Orange County will have 2.5 million residents by then and need 19,200 acres of industrial land to support the population. Reese further stated that other sections of Orange County have been yelding to the economic pressure of rapid urbanization by reclassifying their industrial land for residential use. In summarization he said that this most often results in a situation of indiscriminate land uses, followed by the loss of integrity in both industrial and residential areas. In voting against Dowling and E. A. Raulston of Heritage Construction Co. of Fullerton, proposed buyers of the triangular (Continued on Page 2) Kellogg Heads United Professional Unit A. C.

Public hearing for the proposed ordinance is Sept. 3 but it will probably be continued for additional time to allow the dealers to submit their proposals to make an ordinance acceptable to both them and the city. Ralph Clark, a Richfield Dealer at Magnolia and La Palma Aves., and Service Station Dealers Committee chairman, took the Council to task for the restrictions in the ordinance which would prohibit dealers from performing any "major automotive repair" and limit their work to vehicles under one and one-half tons. Fear Curtailment The ordinance as now proposed stipulates that heavy auto repairs would only be permissable if the specific zone in which the station is located allows it. As it stands now almost all the service stations in the city are not in the permissive zones and thus would be forced to curtail their major source of income. In the definition dealers would be limited to things such as "performance of minor automotive maintenance, repair, washing and lubrication services when conducted in the building only." This would mean the service station dealers couldn't change a tire outside the building walls. Also specified in the definition of the proposed ordinance is the display of merchandise products. Everything would have to be displayed in permanent or portable racks or cabinets, banners and other temporary signs would be outlawed and the rental of trailers and other equipment would be prohibited except where the zone permits but most zones don't permit this. Unworkable" Applause broke out among the dealers several times during Clark's speech, especially when he asked the council to scrap the whole ordinance as being "unfair, unworkable and a threat to the entire economy and welfare of the city." He said several of the restrictions would force him "to seek a station outside the city of Anaheim" if they are approved".

Urge Budget Cut The California Taxpayers' Association has recommended that Orange County Supervisors chop $650,000 out of the record-setting $77 million preliminary budget. The cuts were advocated by Hugh H. Brown, assistant director of research for the association, in the areas of general relief and medical aid to the aged. A public hearing and final ado-ption of the budget was scheduled this week by the Supervisora, Applause broke out among the dealers several times during Clark's speech, especially when he asked the council to scrap the whole ordinance as being "unfair, unworkable and a threat to the entire economy and welfare of the city." He said several of the restrictions would force him "to seek a station outside the city of Anaheim" if they are approved. Arguments were against the proposed ordinance were not limited to just the dealers as it was apparent the councilmen did not all see eye to eye on the changes. Councilman Chuch Chandler stated that the city has no plans to force a radical change on the dealers although the dealers claim the ordinance will do just that. Councilman A. J. Schutte said dealers should be able to do "heavy auto repairs" as an integral part of their operations. Cites Violations Mayor Rex Coons told the dealers that as the ordinance now on the books stands, most dealers that as the ordinance now on the books stands, most dealers are technically operating in violation of the city zoning code. He said that the new ordinance was drafted to resolve glaring inconsistencies between the present day operations of the stations and the ordinance now in effect, which he added, if enforced, "would put every station dealer in the city out of business tomorrow. The new ordinance would allow you to do most of the things you now do legally if in your zone." Chandler said the city wants to help the dealers, not hinder them "by protecting them from their present vulnerability." Frank Wilson Mobile Brake Supply, dealer, then stated he was "suspicious of any government agency offering to help business" and that the best kind of government was "that which governs least."
