FINANCES At an enthusiastic get-together affair last evening, Anaheim Elks-perfected plans for the big drive starting Monday to raise funds for the Salvation Army. The Elks of the nation were so successful in the big war-time drive for the folks who carried the doughnuts up to the front lines to the boys in khaki, that they have been commissioned to direct the big peace time drives which will be an annual event hereafter.

Charles Goff has been named chairman of the Elks committee for the drive, assisted by R. McFadden and J. R. Carhart. Herman Stern is publicity chairman. Captains of teams working in Anaheim are B. Hartfield, H. P. Noll, Joe Wagner and H. Adams; for Placentia, Thos. McFadden; for Buena Park, Archie Fay; for the oilfields, Fred Settenfield, for Olive and Yorba. Ben Yorba.

In fact, it is the improvements in the business district, the attractive store fronts and still more attractive interiors, accommodating willingness to oblige, fresh stocks, and universal policy of progressiveness that has given Anaheim such general and favorable consideration from all who have visited it. One of the latest additions to brighten the business district is the fine new store of the Schmidt Music Co. It is an institution of which the city and county may well be proud as it is no idle boast to assert it is the finest music house south of Los Angeles. In respect to the numerous lines of musical instruments carried, no Los Angeles firm enjoys the agencies for so many different makes. The firm offers the Orange-co music lover "Everything in Music, Nothing but Music." An idea of its completeness is the fact that there is an assortment of 2500 records in the racks at all times while sheet music is carried in equally large stock. PLEASANT AFFAIR Mrs. H.

The action was not taken yesterday toward calling the bond election because the necessary resolutions and legal orders being prepared by District Attorney L. A. West had not been completed. West stated these would all be ready by April 2, and the hearing was adjourned to that date, when it is understood a call for the bond election will be issued and the date for the vote set.

W. STANLEY OPENS USED AUTO DEPOT Harry W. Stanley has opened a used automobile sales room at Dedolph garage, 117 N. Lemon, thus filling a long felt want for northern Orange-co, it being the first exclusively used car sales room of the magnitude contemplated in this territory. It will be Stanley's policy to handle cars that he can recommend to still contain a great deal of service. He plans to handle large numbers of them, depending upon a small profit from a quantity rather than large profits from a few. In fact, he will compete with Los Angeles prices. Mr. Stanley has purchased the Dedolph garage, the garage of G. E. Dedolph at 117 No. Lemon-st. The transfer was made at noon today. He will do all kinds of auto repairing but will cater particularly to Buick owners and his garage will be known as the Buick Service Station. He will inaugurate another new feature for Anaheim in that he will have at the disposal of the public a service car which will answer telephone calls to Pac. 256 either day or night.

Probably in May It is expected a date in the latter part of May will be set for the election, and the issue will be probably $500,000, which will provide for cutting a new channel for the Santa Ana river into the ocean west of Newport so as to free the harbor from further silt deposits, for extension of jetty improvements at the mouth of the bay, and for dredging. It is also proposed to erect a county-owned dock and warehouse adjoining the county road entering Newport so as to establish the harbor and give the people of the county control of commerce entering the bay. Dredging Bonds Sold Also of interest to the many harbor enthusiasts in this locality is the announcement just made that Newport Beach city has sold her recent $65,000 issue of bonds, which were carried by a vote of 244 to 5. This issue was bought this week by C. F. Guthridge, vice-president of the North Amreican Dredging company, which has been paid par, accrued interest, and one-half the cost of printing the bonds. This purchase makes the money immediately available and within an hour after the bonds were sold the dredger resumed work of dredging a channel from East Newport toward the harbor entrance. This work will be pushed and it is expected the channel will be completed in two months. DWYER RECONSIDERS DECISION TO QUIT It was stated today by a member of the city council that Mayor Dwyer had agreed to reconsider his decision to resign from public office. The councilmen, as well as many public citizens have brought all possible pressure to bear upon the mayor or continue in office until the expiration of his term next spring. The councilmen are now endeavoring to find a way by which some of the arduous duties of the office might be removed from his shoulders.
