It was an “open night” on road affairs and the whole highway situation was opened. Here are some of the opinions expressed: W. T. Brown, Fullerton—“For years I have been urging the merits of an asphalt concrete or warrenite. We have an excellent example of its wearing qualities in Fullerton. You have it here in Anaheim on Los Angeles st., paved 12 years ago and not a nickel of expense. This county voted bonds to run 33 years with which to build cement roads which are now breaking up five years after they have been built. The road between La Habra and Brea, over which some of the heaviest oil trucking in the county passes is another good example of how warrenite stands up. There is a three-quarter mile stretch of warrenite on North Garden Grove-rd which hasn’t cost a nickel.” Lew Wallace, Newport — “Mr. Brown must be sincere in advocating warrenite roads. He was just telling me he sold 32 carloads of cement in November. “In the repair of the road from Boisa to Newport, which cost $64,000. I believe that much damage was done to other roads by heavy trucks hauling gravel.” Secretary Malcom Fraser, Anaheim C. of C.—“The present system of road management is much more expensive than formerly when supervisors had something to say about it. I am not making any charges but I am informed that Supervisor Finley, Contractor Steele Finley and County Engineer McBride are close relatives. “We did this much for you. When we first took a sample of the gravel being used on the Garden Grove-rd job, it contained more slit than that being used now, taken from a better part of the quarry. E. E. Jahraus, Laguna Beach—“The whole trouble is the heavy truck traffic which the roads were never meant to handle. Every night there are regular freight carloads over the highways from Anaheim to Irvine, bound to San Diego. “I am informed that a truck, standing still, was so heavily loaded that it sunk thru the pavement at Santa Ana the other day. It was necessary to get another truck to pull it out.” F. C. Krause, Fullerton—“I can well believe the heavy cost of road upon last night at the monthly A.C. of C. meeting when a motion by J. P.

POSTPONE HEARING UNTIL SCHOOL’S OUT The trial of Merrill Porter, 17- E. E. Jahraus, Laguna Beach—"The whole trouble is the heavy truck traffic which the roads were never meant to handle. Every night there are regular freight carloads over the highways from Anaheim to Irvine, bound to San Diego. "I am informed that a truck, standing still, was so heavily loaded that it sunk thru the pavement at Santa Ana the other day. It was necessary to get another truck to pull it out." F. C. Krause, Fullerton—"I can well believe the heavy cost of road repair when trucks engaged in highway repair work leave Santa Ana at 8:30, arrive at Fullerton at 9:30 and start back at 2:30." Lynn Shaw, Newport — "The heavy oil trucking has broken down one road to Newport Beach via Garden Grove and now they are breaking down another road, from Santa Ana to Talbert. There are two railroads entering Huntington Beach. Why cannot this heavy hauling be done over rails? These heavy trucks defy every law of the road. They exceed the weight and speed limits and control the right of way. If you protest, they give you the half hail! "Our system of highways was not meant for such heavy hauling. They were built for automobile traffic and have proven the greatest investment from the standpoint of attracting eastern people to this section that has ever been made. H. A. Lake—"The road problem is not peculiar to Orange-co. Eastern states are facing it. New York is building its third system of paved roads—first they had brick, then concrete and now heavy concrete." "Trucks hauling 15 tons are not uncommon. E. I would like to have an investigation made into the road affairs of the county. I believe road building is a business the same as any other and we should have experienced men in charge and not depend on the successful politician. E. B. Cann, Anaheim—"I believe that the immediate thing to do is to stop all overloaded trucks by stationing men at the entrances to the county. Jahraus—"The district attorney should attend to that. Krause—"There should be scales to determine weights." If it's from Witman's, it's good! Weatherwax, the evangelist, preached one of the best sermons of the series. There was good singing by the choir. The subject for the sermon this evening will be "The Wicked Shall Not Go Unpunished." This is the last week of the meetings and if you have not been attending, come out this evening and hear what Rev. Weatherwax has to say. Everybody cordially invited.

"Now it is necessary to leave the county for a mountain drive while the county has only the county park as a scenic attraction to bring people into the county.

A rate of 54.6 cents per box on citrus fruit by boat to the Atlantic seaboard is now available, compared to the rate of $1.48 per box by rail. Charles Eygabroad, chairman of the export committee of the Cal. Fruit Growers Exchange, told a largely attended meeting of the A. C. of C. at the Masonic banquet hall here last night. The announcement was enthusiastically received. The announcement followed receipt of bids by the Fruit Exchange yesterday from the American-Hawaiian Steamship Co. and the United American line. The former line agreed to carry fruit from San Pedro to eastern ports for 70c per 100, which is at the rate of 54.6 cents per box. The United American came down to this figure.

Elks, of the San Bernardino lodge was the honored guest at the regular meeting of the Anaheim order last night. The meeting was held in the rooms of the Fullerton Club, the temporary home of the Anaheim Elks while their new building is being completed. Fields expressed himself as highly pleased with the excellent work of the local lodge, and after witnessing the proceedings of the evening at which time a class of 30 candidates was given the initiatory work by the local officers, he stated it was gratifying to him and a pleasure to attend a meeting offering so much entertainment, life and activity and that it was easy to understand the cause for the large attendance. He also complimented the officers for the impressive manner in which they took their parts in the initiation work. He spoke very highly of Anaheim Exalted Ruler, H. E. W. Barnes, stating that in all his official visits he had never heard and seen the part taken with such sincerity and excellence of expression. The fine financial showing also invoked words of praise from Fields and the efficient work of secretary M. C. Goff also was a source of comment. Past Exalted Rulers Wilson, Carter and McCullough of Long Beach were visitors at the meeting of last night. At the close of the regular lodge session a light lunch was served. RIOT AND DISORDER IN MEXICAN STRIKE MEXICO CITY, Feb., 24.—Following rioting and disorders of yesterday, the biggest strike in the history of Mexico went into effect today when more than 50,000 members of the Mexican Railroad Federation went out. These were expected to be joined by other railroad workers in every section of the nation. President Obregon has ordered the military to man the trains and keep them running, and a number of clashes already have taken place, notably along the route of the rail lines west from this city to the Pacific, where many miles of trackage has been destroyed by the rioters. The troops are under orders to use extreme measures in guarding railroad property and the clashes resulting have done much toward alienating the feelings of the people from President Obregon. FULLERTON COVETS ANAHEIM'S ACTIVITY largely attended meeting of the A. C. of C. at the Masonic banquet hall here last night. The announcement was enthusiastically received. The announcement followed receipt of bids by the Fruit Exchange yesterday from the American-Hawaiian Steamship Co. and the United American line. The former line agreed to carry fruit from San Pedro to eastern ports for 70c per 100, which is at the rate of 54.6 cents per box. The United American came down to this figure. This saving of nearly $1 per box on freight alone, besides from 15c to 18c per box for refrigeration, is expected to revolutionize the lemon industry. A profit of that amount would be a godsend to the average lemon grower who has been jolted repeatedly by late red ink returns. Lemons, it was proven in the recent test shipment, do not require refrigeration but may be shipped by steamer under ventilation. This method of shipment of lemons from Sicily. Eygabroad stated that the Exchange expected at next week's meeting to enter into contracts with the steamer lines for immediate inauguration of regular shipments of lemons by water. The exchange will proceed to arrange for shipment by water oranges, which do better under refrigeration. This will require more time as the ships do not now have refrigerating equipment. However, Eygabroad stated, this is coming and orange growers also will enjoy an enormous saving in transportation costs, not only for the freight but for the iceing costs, which will be less aboard ship with large cooling systems. Eygabroad stated he hoped to see the time soon come when fruit steamers would enter Orange-co harbor and load with fruit from Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino-cos. It is estimated it now costs $2.85 to pick, pack and market a box of oranges in New York. Lemons cost more. The orange marketing cost includes such items as: freight and war tax $1.48; iceing $15c to 18c; shook 33c; tissue paper 10c to 13c. In addition there are charges for picking, packing, auction, etc. To shave a dollar off this is going to put hundreds of thousands of dollars in the pockets of So. Cal. growers. Eygabroad believes the water shipment plan will ultimately proceed to the point where they will be distributed over the entire middle-west by water via the Mississippi Missouri Ohio and Chicago rivers. He believes boats can be loaded at San Pedro or Newport and proceed thru the canal to New Orleans and up the Mississippi at a great saving over rail rates. He stated that the two most recent increases in rail freight rates had placed a tax of $282 per acre annually upon every acre of citrus fruit in So. Cal. keep them running, and a number of clashes already have taken place, notably along the route of the rail lines west from this city to the Pacific, where many miles of trackage has been destroyed by the rioters. The troops are under orders to use extreme measures in guarding railroad property and the clashes resulting have done much toward alienating the feelings of the people from President Obregon. FULLERTON COVETS ANAHEIM'S ACTIVITY In responding to the address of welcome at the A. C. of C banquet here last night by E. B. Camp who likened Anaheim to a hub, F. C. Krause, of Fullerton, congratulated this city upon activity and progress. "When I came to Calif. I landed in Anaheim and I believe I helped to put thrus some of the improvements. I remember one meeting we held at the library when suggestions for improvements were called for I suggested a few funerals might help and one fellow wanted to fight me. "I wish we had some of your live business men over in Fullerton. If you keep on-growing toward Fullerton we'll incorporate you into our city limits. You know we're great on extending our city limits." BRADFORD THANKED FOR PRIZE EXHIBIT A. S. Bradford was given a rousing vote of thanks last night at the A. C. of C banquet here for his prize-winning exhibit of Orange-co citrus fruit at the San Bernardino show.
