The average daily water sumption in Anaheim is less than 20 million gallons. Summer days more than 2 million gallons of water are ample facilities. Anaheim's population was 250,000 or more by 1980; provide for adequate water for the future. Proposition make available $4,900,000 following expansions of the department: 1.

Bond Issues Given Editor': Note: Following are arguments in favor of Anaheim's proposed bond issues, to be voted on at the Oct. 8 municipal Election. The Gazette feels that passage of all ballot propositions is vital in the extreme and their rejection would inhibit the growth of the fastest growing community in the United States. PROPOSITION W — WATER WORKS BONDS Anaheim's supply of Colorado River water through the Metropolitan Water District is decreasing, and we cannot expect to obtain any water from the proposed Feather River project until at least 1972, perhaps longer. We need water storage now especially for this interim period. Anaheim today has water storage capacity for only 72 million gallons of water, serving a city of 135,000 residents, a high ratio of business and vital industry. The average daily water consumption in Anaheim is more than 20 million gallons. On peak summer days more than 38 million gallons of water are used. Ample Facilities Anaheim's population will reach 50,000 or more by 1980. To provide for adequate water now and for the future, Proposition W will make available $4,900,000 for the following expansions of the water department: 1. Lake-type reservoir, dam and treatment plant in Walnut Tanyon east of Olive. 2. Transmission and distribution lines. 3. Replace 50 year old wells, and new switch gears and pumps, and fill abandoned wells. 4. Telemetering (Remote Controls), and construction of the water department portion of a maintenance yard and building. Completion of the reservoir will take care of the City's peak hourly demands and insure Anaheim 40 day water reserve in the event of water shortage, power failure, or breakdown in the Metropolitan Water District lines. of approximately 25 per cent a year with the influx of new housing and major industry. A new utility yard is urgently needed owing to crowded conditions at the yard at 518 S. Los Angeles Street, now being shared by other rapidly expanding city departments. The Electric bonds will not increase the utility rates, and none of the bonds will alter the City's low tax rate. Proposition C ?MOpfc PROPOSITION C — CITY HALL AND ADMINISTRATION BUILDING BONDS Anaheim's present City Hall can no longer give the service the people are entitled to receive. To provide an economic and efficient facility from which to conduct sound business practices, and to create a convenience for residents, Proposition C will make available $3,000,000 for the construction of a new City Hall at Broadway and Harbor Blvd., between the new Police Building and new Library. In 1923 Anaheim constructed the present City Hall for a population of 5,000 residents. Today, after 40 years, this City Hall serves as the central core to conduct city business for 135,000 residents. Offices Scattered As the City grew, it became necessary to move many departments out of the City Hall due to lack of space. Today the Personnel Department, Finance Department, Park and Recreation Department, much of the Engineering Department, and the Utility Collection Department are in crowded offices scattered all over the City. The Legal Department has never been quartered in City Hall. The remaining departments face a day to day space problem. Anaheim is now the ninth largest city in California, and the 91st largest city in the nation. The high industrial and entertainment status of this City draws 5,000,000 visitors a year, and focuses the eyes of the world on Anaheim. Vote Set Sept. 24 As lately revised, a proposed Anaheim city regulatory ordinance for service stations is "100 per cent better than the original," station operators were told this week. Ralph Clark, chairman of Anaheim Service Station Dealers, said a few vital questions must be decided at a workshop meeting today with members of the City Planning Commission. The City Council has tentatively set Sept. 24 as the date for voting on the ordinance. Heavy Equipment Yet to be determined is whether or not the ordinance will permit operation of brake drum lathes and rental of trailers in service stations. Lathes are considered heavy equipment, which original proponents of the ordinance proposed to prohibit in service stations. Heavy equipment could be operated in garages. Clark said 35 of the city's 180 service stations operate drum lathes. The service station operators are seeking the right to do all work short of a major engine or rear end or transmission overhaul and painting and body work in their establishments. Afterthought: Editor Doesn't Mean 'Dirt'... "... initial digging was inconclusive and the archaeologists were about to turn their attention to other sites when, suddenly, they broke into a rich layer of fragments..." This, from a dramatic account of excavations in Ohio, parallels the daily experience of a reporter. A reporter worth his salt makes one more telephone call, consults one more news source or sticks around with his camera until a man bites 4. Telemetering (Remote Controls), and construction of the water department portion of a maintenance yard and building. Completion of the reservoir will take care of the City's peak hourly demands and insure Anaheim 40 day water reserve in the event of water shortage, power failure, or breakdown in the Metropolitan Water District lines. To live in the land of our choice we must work for an adequate water supply. These bonds will not increase the water rates or city taxes. PROPOSITION E — ELECTRIC BONDS The Utility Department provides the major revenues for the City of Anaheim (47.16 per cent of the 1962-63 budget) and contributes to the City's low tax rate. To determine current and progressive demands to carry the City's electrical system through 1967 with adequate power, a review was made of engineering studies by the Bechtel Corporation and the H. Zinder & Associates, Engineering Firm, together with the Electric Department's own load studies. It was found that system transformer capacity requirements in mid-1967 will approximate 225,000 KVA (kilovolt-amperes). This includes a reserve capacity. The system at present totals 140,000 KVA. The electric bonds will add 100,000 KVA, bringing the system capacity to 240,000 KVA. Load Increase Proposition E will make available $750,000 for the following additions in the electrical system: 1. Additions to each of the 3 major electric substations. Construction of the electrical section of a new utility yard and building. The load increase at all three above substations has been due to a constant system growth. TIE SYSTEMS TOGETHER — Connection of the Dyke Water Co. system to Anaheim's mains was started Tuesday within the union of two lines at seven different points along Katella Ave., between Harbor Blvd. and Gilbert Ave. Supervising the tie-in at Katella and Euclid is Anaheim Water Superintendent Gus Lenain, shown above.
