LIQUOR THE CAUSE Declaring liquor the cause of his troubles, J. L. Kirby arrived Monday from Great Falls, Mont., in charge of an officer. He is charged with the embezzlement of $950 paid to him in the sale of a Gary motor truck to William Duncan, a transfer man of Santa Ana. Kirby for a short time represented a Los Angeles firm that handles Gary trucks. "Booze is what got me into this mess," said Kirby. "Three drinks of whiskey make me irresponsible, and in a moment of weakness when I was over at Anaheim with a man I took a drink. When I came to a full realization of what I had done I was in San Francisco. I kept on going until I got to Montana, when I wrote to my wife at Graham station telling her I was coming back to face the music. It was through that letter that they got me."

BIG IMPROVEMENT CAN BE MADE NOW Anaheim today is much interested in a decision just handed down by the appellate court permitting the completion of a big local improvement, a full width pavement and curbing on the state highway between Anaheim and Fullerton. A movement started about four years ago and stayed by objection of the Anaheim Sugar Co. SANTA ANA COUNCIL NOW UP IN AIR ON SEWAGE DISPOSAL With City Cluncilman Greenleaf maintaining that enlargement of the sewer farm is the best solution of Santa Ana's sewer problem, Trustee Maryatt refusing to support a bond issue unless a guarantee is given that a special attorney will not be employed to carry on the legal proceedings, and Trustees McPhee, Tubbs and Visel decided in their opinion that an outfall sewer to the ocean is the only correct way to handle the situation, the Santa Ana council today is tied up and unable to get anywhere in disposing of an important question—one that is of vital importance to the entire city. The council met in called session Monday night to take action on the sewer matter, and the final result Anaheim today is much interested in a decision just handed down by the appellate court permitting the completion of a big local improvement, a full width pavement and curbing on the state highway between Anaheim and Fullerton, a movement started about four years ago and stayed by objection of the Anaheim Sugar Co. The appellate court upholds the district court of Orange-co, which recognised no objection to the improvement. The sugar company's share of the cost was $18,000. All the money has been in bank and accruing interest during suit. Although the expense of such improvements has greatly increased in four years, it is understood the arrangement with the state will permit completion of the work without additional assessment. BAUMGARTNER NAMED J. P. Baumgartner, editor of the Santa Ana Register, has been appointed by Chairman Boynton as an advisory member of the sub-committee on "Public Works and Properties" of the committee on "Efficiency and Economy" recently appointed by Gov.

Mrs. Northrup of Pasadena, field secretary, was the speaker, and gave a very interesting talk. A collection was taken and about $100 raised for the furthering of the work. MEET AFTER 30 YEARS that an outfall sewer to the ocean is the only correct way to handle the situation, the Santa Ana council today is tied up and unable to get anywhere in disposing of an important question—one that is of vital importance to the entire city. The council met in called session Monday night to take action on the sewer matter, and the final result was that the committee appointed to represent Santa Ana on the Inter-City Sewer committee was discharged and further consideration of the inter-city outfall dropped. Greenleaf promised to make an independent investigation this wee kas to the feasibility of an enlarged sewer farm, and if he finds that it cannot be carried out to the best interests of the city, he will vote to submit a bond issue for an outfall, with Santa Ana acting alone. He will take a definite stand for or against the outfall at a meeting of the council next Monday night. Will Go It Alone The session was a regular old-time talkfest, with every member of the board having something to say on the proposition, and with the board divided two to three on the essential point. McPhee, as chairman of the committee on the Linter-City committee, recited incidents of recent meetings of the four-city committee, said that he and Tubbs had decided that it would be impossible to continue with the project. He moved that it was the sense of the council that at the April election a bond issue for sewers be submitted to the voters, with Santa Ana building an outfall independent of the other cities. The motion prevailed after much discussion, by the affirmative votes of McPhee, Tubbs and Visel. Greenleaf voted no, and Maryatt was recorded as voting no, he qualifying his negative vote by saying that he would support the motion if it was agreed that the legal proceedings should be conducted by the elected city attorney. Revenue From Sewer Farm "Has the committee taken up the sewer farm and investigated it as to its cost and income," asked Greenleaf, in the discussion preceding the adoption of McPhee's motion.

CASH PAID FOR USED GARMENTS 212 South Los Angeles Street Telephone 608 Revenue From Sewer Farm "Has the committee taken up the sewer farm and investigated it as to its cost and income," asked Greenleaf, in the discussion preceding the adoption of McPhee's motif. According to McPhee's draft hufft cording to figures that I have been able to obtain, the sewer farm is returning the city 11 percent interest on its investment. I believe that we should put up two propositions for the people to vote on—an outfall sewer and enlargement of the sewer farm. We can buy more land in the vicinity of the present farm, and if we can get the same returns in rental of the land that we are now getting from the sewer farm, the revenue would pay more than the interest on the bonds needed to acquire the additional land and put in an outfall to it." Nuisance Visel—"What about notice from District Attorney West that we must abate the nuisance theme? Mr. Scott, what was that notice we had from the district attorney?" City Attorney Scott—"We never have had written notice from the district attorney that I know of. We did have some word from the State Health Board on the matter and an inspector was sent here to look over the situation." Visel—"We must have had something from the district attorney, for I have been called into conference with him two or three different times, and he has told me that complaints had been made against operation of the farm." McPhee—"West told me that something had to be done. He called me into his office and told me of
