City Gazette CITY PAPER OF FABULOUS DISNEYLAND day, March 12, 1964 8 Pages Anaheim, California, City Awards Contract Target Date—Sept. '66 The City Councilmen have unanimously approved the awarding of a contract to Adrian Wilson as architect for the proposed convention and exhibit center to be built near Disneyland. Adrian Wilson has designed convention centers in Los Angeles. Nagel continued, "we hope to break ground at the end of this year." Other Action In other action recently the city councilmen authorized two advertisements to be inserted in a New York Times supplement. Target Date—Sept. '66 The City Councilmen have unanimously approved the awarding of a contract to Adrian Wilson as architect for the proposed convention and exhibit center to be built near Disneyland. Adrian Wilson has designed convention centers in Las Vegas, Fresno, Honolulu and has offices in Beverly Hills, Tokyo, Paris and Bangkok. Public Information Officer Bud Nagel stated that at a "brain-storm" session last week specifications were discussed by Don Jewel, manager of the Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Oregon; Bruce Scheffler, assistant manager of the Long Beach Sports Arena; Dick McElyea, who conducted the original Stanford survey for the city; City Manager Keith Murdock; Doug Farley, president of the Area Visitor and Convention Bureau, and Nagel. "We will lean toward conventions and cultural events, although we can have sporting events. We ruled out ice for hockey because of the professional franchise problems," Nagel said. The main auditorium will have a capacity in excess of 8000, with approximately 6000 permanent seating. There will be lesser multi-purpose auditorium, e.g. ball room, small theatre with stage or meeting room for 1800 people. Hopefully, the Anaheim Symphony Assn. and other similar activities might be conducted here. The exhibit hall of 100,000 sq. ft. will be built along with the auditorium but the proposed theatre will be designed but left to be built later. "We don't want to be competing with other theatres, we have Melodyland. We will wait and see the cultural needs that develop," Nagel commented. "Target date for the opening stands now at September, 1966," Nagel continued, "we hope to break ground at the end of this year." Other Action In other action recently the city councilmen authorized two advertisements to be inserted in a New York Times supplement. The supplement is being planned for use by the state of California to distribute to industrialists and elsewhere to encourage resettlement in the state. Twenty-two other states have published similar sections. The two advertisements will cost $7,460. One will present Ana heim as a vacationland-tourist and convention center—and the other the advantages of industrial development in the city. Robert Gresham, sales representative of the New York Times, explaiend that the state was not underwriting the project due to the failure of passage of legislation last year, but that wide support by various cities and industries had made the project a success. However, the editorial material will come from the governor's office, leading the councilmen to speculate as on the amount of campaigning that would be done by Governor Brown. Gresham said all political material would be "blue-penciled". This is to be a publication devoted to California exclusively, primarily to encourage industrial development; secondly, explaining the vacationland, third why advantageous to live in the state; and fourth, bring new finance and new money to the state. The supplement will have a circulation of at least 1.4 million with reprints at a cost of 25 cents each, he said. Urban renewal and the city chater were deferred to a later date until all council members were present, and further study can be made. Lake Elsinore Park To Open; Rules Told California's Division of Beaches and Parks will soon open Lake Elsinore State Recreation Area, a unit of the State Park System. Even today water is flowing into the long-dry lake bed. By April 1, 1964, it should be full. And then the problems which will confront users and those responsible with assuring public safety will become manifest. Because the problems anticipated are quite different than any faced elsewhere by the Rangers who operate such diversified units as Emerald Bay, Pismo Beach, Humboldt Redwoods, Anza Desert and Huntington Beach State Parks, among 168 units all totaled, special rules and regulations have been set for Lake Elsinore. "Frankly, we will probably relax some of them", says Edward F. Dolder, chief of the Division, "but we may have to become even more strict on other rules and regulations. But until we see what develops, we must assure the user's safety from the very beginning." One such rule will apply to the number of boats that can use the lake's surface at the same time. Today we think the limit is 2,000 boats. When enforcing this as well as other rules, we will be very cooperative with the users. We will also be firm because the safety of others is paramount. There can be no laxity when we are dealing with the park visitor's safety and life", Dolder said. Another rule peculiar to Elsinore states you can't take water out of the lake—or any of the precious commodity as it flows to Lake Elsinore. The State is paying for every gallon and because users will have to make up the costs through special fees, Rangers will patrol continually to make sure costs to boaters don't rise through diversion, illegal consumption or interference with the water. The Legislature approved the purchase of water and establishment of facilities for Lake Elsinore contingent that fees assessed users be sufficient to pay the $750,000 loan made by the Division of Small Craft Harbors as well as to purchase water as needed to keep the Lake usable. This means fees at Elsinore will be $5—a $3 permit for use of the water surface and $2 covering boat launching and parking the car and trailer. Those just using picnic and other facilities familiar to State Parks will pay the regular fee applicable at all parks—50 cents per car per day for day use, which includes swimming, picnicking, ect.
