SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF WORK COMPANY FILES REPORT TODAY Greeted by selectable Division of Opinion county It Is Taken up Section by Section The comprehensive report of the special committee appointed Jan. 29 on the condition of the Anaheim Union Water Co. was submitted today to the largest attendance of the stockholders in recent years. There were at least 200 present at this afternoon's session. There early developed considerable division of opinion on the report and it was decided to take it up section by section. At 3 p.m. the first section, dealing with the financial condition, had been adopted, and the second section, dealing with relations to oil companies, was being considered. It was decided to hold another meeting in five weeks when the entire report will be adopted or rejected. In the meantime the report will be published and a copy sent to each stockholder. The committee signing the report includes S. C. Hartranft, John C. Tuffree, Wm. J. Heinz, G. W. Sherwood, Samuel Kraemer, J. W. Newell, E. D. Lang, Wm. Brekenstock, Charles C. Chapman, Lang Tuffree, Berkenstock and Kraemer filed a minority report disclosing sources and needs of the company be made by a competent engineer of recognized standing in irrigation work, that future betterments may proceed along some definite lines, and may be adjusted to our income. We recommend that the cleaning of the Tuffree reservoir at an estimated cost of $20,000 be deferred until the general survey recommended has been made. We recommend that a budget be prepared at the beginning of each year, which shall be adhered to as strictly as circumstances shall permit; and that the present practice of making improvements with money temporarily borrowed be permanently abandoned. We recommend that the superintendent's report and financial statement of the company be published monthly in our local papers. We recommend the adjustment of salaries of officers and employees of the company be made so as to be in harmony with salaries and wages paid for similar service rendered other water companies, and present industrial conditions. While the finding or oil on this tract is problematical, yet the future is encouraging from the fact that oil men, who are supposed to know their business, believe that a production of oil will be had and are back- CLERICAL MEET NEXT Orange-co Clerk Tuesday afternoon Santa Ana.

In the meantime the report will be published and a copy sent to each stockholder. The committee signing the report includes S. C. Hartranft, John C. Tuffree, Wm. J. Heinz, G. W. Sherwood, Samuel Kraemer, J. W. Newell, E. D. Lang, Wm. Brekenstock, Charles C. Chapman. Lang, Tuffree, Berkenstock and Kraemer filed a minority report dissenting with a recommendation that renting of stock should cease and proposing the sale of treasury stock as it would divide our water among additional number of shares, thereby giving the present owners less water per share which would make it necessary to buy additional stock." The report covers more than a dozen typewritten pages. Following some of the recommendations: To the Stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Co.: First. The committee desires to impress upon the minds of the stockholders the importance and value of this corporation and its assets. It is recognized that the entire wealth of this valley, including all its business and professions as well as our comfort and happiness, is dependent upon a good supply of water. The Anaheim Union Water Company, is of course, the source of most of the water supplied to the ranches in this section of the country. We wish to emphasize the importance of the stockholders taking a greater interest in the business of the company and becoming fully acquainted with its properties and resources. Second. The committee is impressed with the value of the water rights and with the proportions of what has already been done in the way of developing and supplying water to the land. This company is one of the pioneer water companies of California. It has been developed through a number of years, apparently as the needs demanded, and apta to have had no far reaching outlook in its inception. The Capital Stock of the company is $1,200,000.00, divided into 12,000 shares of the par value of $100 each. Of this number there have been issued 8004 shares of stock. Lying within the boundaries of the district, as described in the charter, are approximately 9,000 acres under cultivation. Of this considerable acreage is irrigated, for a portion of the year, from private wells. Consideration should be given to the reduction of our overhead expenses from war conditions. It appears that we are paying salaries much above the average. New construction should be cut down to the lowest possible limit, and nothing new authorized until our income justifies it, or necessity compels. We recommend no further assessment. We recommend the adjustment of salaries of officers and employees of the company be made so as to be in harmony with salaries and wages paid for similar service rendered other水 companies, and present industrial conditions. While the finding or oil on this tract is problematical, yet the future is encouraging from the fact that oil men, who are supposed to know their business, believe that a production of oil will be had and are backing up their opinion with capital necessary for development and should their undertaking prove successful it will mean splendid returns for the stockholders of the Anaheim Union. We recommend that a tabulated report as to water conditions be reported to the mining bureau by a committee that will force this matter to an adjustment, as it is in direct violation of the state mining laws, and if no results are obtained from the local bureau of mines an appeal should be taken to the state supervisor. If no results are obtained by these methods, we recommend suit be filed against the proper persons to force the state law for the protection of our property, and when the water wells are cleaned up we recommend that suit be filed against the Anaalgamated Oil Co., for non-performance of the covenants of our lease, and the cancellation of same. We find, as the records will show, that our oil receipts over 1919-1920 have decreased better than one-third while G. & L. Union and Gilman offset leases show an increase. We believe that our main canal and also some branch ditches are too small, showing that we have not considered future needs. We therefore, recommend that a complete survey of our whole system be made by a competent engineer with a view to formulating a construction scheme for adequate future development, particularly considering the feasibility of supplying more water to the Cajon canal. We recommend a division of the entire system into sections or stations and the apportionment of all construction and operation according to this system. We recommend that each pumping plant shall account, in detail, for cost of material and labor necessary for its operation; that the water produced be measured so as to establish comparative operation costs of the various plants. We recommend that a system of accounting be introduced and continued adequate to the needs of the business. We recommend that accurate construction costs be kept adding to the basic cost a reasonable percentage of overhead for the purpose of figuring subsequent depreciation. We recommend that an annual report be rendered by the superintendent showing details as to construc Consideration should be given to the reduction of our overhead expenses from war conditions. It appears that we are paying salaries much above the average. New construction should be cut down to the lowest possible limit, and nothing new authorized until our income justifies it, or necessity compels. We recommend no further assessments, be made this year for the following reasons: 1. Because the critical period in the citrus industry through which we are now passing will make the payment of additional assessments burdensome. 2. Because the additions and improvements made to our pumping facilities and our main ditch during the past year, insure an ample supply of water for the present season, if not permanently. 3. Because pending developments of our oil resources may and probably will make further assessments unnecessary. 4. Because the financing of new construction by direct assessment is unfair to present owners of stock. The benefit will accrue to future owners in a large measure, and should be paid by them in part. 5. Because we are to continue as mutual company, there must be a realiment of the distribution of the stock of the company, so that the burden of operation, and the financing of new work may be more equally distributed; and until this is done no more assessments should be levied. We recommend that to reduce the unsecured indebtedness coming due on the future, that the $75,000 of 6 per cent bonds now in the treasury be sold and the proceeds applied to that purpose; We recommend that before any large construction projects be entered into, a general survey of the re- MERCURY LAST NIGHT Minimum temperature last night, as reported by Anaheim Orange and Lemon Assn. was 58 at 2 a.m. TODAY'S RESULTS Take's from Board at Anaheim Bowling Alleys.

At the March meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, a report based on data supplied by Robinson Farmer of Anaheim and Carl H. Seamans of Yorba Linda, accountants, was presented in behalf of the Anaheim C. of C. by W. T. Wallop, Anaheim. In this report the work of County Engineer J. L. McBride was severely criticised. While McBride was the target the attackers used a scatter gun that sent few shots to the county auditor and to some county supervisors. McBride's work was roundly condemned by the accountants. The system of bookkeeping used by the county was adversely criticised. In conclusion, the Anaheim C. of C. asked that McBride be removed as county engineer. OUTLINE ANAHEIM Y. M. C. A. PROGRAM FOR NEXT SUMMER Swimming, Volley and Indoor Baseball, Hikes and Picnics Planed for Warm Weather Last night the local Y. M. C. A. committee met at the call of Chairman Chas. Eygabroad for a supper at the Y. M. C. A. building. A number of other men, interested in the boys and young men of Anaheim, were also invited to discuss the use of the Y. M. C. A. building this summer. After thoroly going over the ground and discussing the needs of the boys the following program was presented by the Y. M. C. A. secretaries, Mr. Chessum and Mr. Raitt and adopted for the summer program, Regular swimming hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at the following times for the following boys: Boys 10 to 12 from 10 o'clock to 2:30; boys 12 to 14 from 2:30 to 4:00; boys 14 to 16 from 4:00 to 5:20; business men's volly ball league and swim from 5:30 to 6:30; employed boys and young men from 7:00 to 8:30. There are also on the program plans for a twilight indoor baseball league either organized through the churches or business houses, a learn-to-swim campaign, and week-end camps for boys at the Y. M. C. A. mountain camp up above Madame Modjeska's home, with an occasional boy. The plans are not definitely picnic day at the beach for younger decided on, and may be changed in some details but the committee in SAYS REDISTRICTING MEANS NEW SESSION In a telegram to the Associated Chambers of Commerce, State Senator Walter Eden states he believes a special session of legislature will be called to redistrict the state. In case a special session is not called, Eden says the matter will be taken up at the next legislature. He stated that the reason why reapportionment could not be put through at this time was that the legislature had not time to take it up without sabrificing almost all the rest of the legislation before it. Eden's wire came in reply to one sent by Secretary J. C. Metzgar urging immediate action in reapportionment and expressing anxiety lest re-apportionment be not made at all on the basis of the 1820 census. THREE NEW WELLS IN BEACH FIELD Three new oil wells have been brought in at Huntington Beach in the last two days. Any one of the source prove to be the biggest one in the new field. One of these wells is the Western Union; located on a 45-acre community lease near the Standard producer; another is the Copeal community well, drilled by the Union Oil company on a 52-acre community lease, and the third is the Huntington Central No. I, drilled on a five-lot lease at the corner of Main street and Wesley ave. No wells yet brought in mean as much in the way of dividends and royalties to Orange-co people as do these three wells. A number of Orange county resides there. This feature that know producee recent event FAMOUS QUARTET BACK IN ORANGE-CO The Wilde-Knight quartet is again in Orange-co in special evangelical meeting at the church of the Nazarene, 223 N. Melrose-st, Placentia. Music lovers who have heard them before will be glad to know this. In the last five years the quartet has traveled across the continent, holding revival campaigns, with Mr. Wilde as evangelists, in which thousands of hungry people have found God. The quartet has also sung for four phonograph companies and about 20 records are now ready, including several tenor solo records by Mr. Wilde. Tomorrow will be a great day at Placentia Nazarene church with services at 11 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The afternoon service will be especially interesting as besides the Wilde-Knight quartet there will also be present Rev. Hildor and Bertha Lillin, evangelists and singers. Rev. Hilder is the composer of more than 100 bongs. BOLD 2 YOUTHS FOR ATTEMPT UPON GIRL The mania of criminal assault There are also on the program plans for a twilight indoor baseball league either organized thrue the churches or business houses, a learn-to-swin campaign, and week-end camps for boys at the Y. M. C. A. mountain camp up above Madam Modjeska's home, with an occasional boy. The plans are not definitely picnic day at the beach for younger decided on, and may be changed in some details but the committee in charge hopes to have these definitely cleared up by May 15. Outside of drawing up the program, the following committees were created to serve for the coming year: building committee — Eyzabroad, Wobstah, Sebastian, Stewart and Goodale; community activities committee — Baum, Mills, Edmiston, Geo. Ross and Jayne; finance committee — Beebee, Gibbs, Griggs and J. J. Sebastian. It is hoped that with these men backing up the secretaries that a much more efficient and thoro program may be carried on at the building this summer than ever before. EFFICIENCY EXPERT BEFORE ENGINEERS Orange-co engineers to the number of 27 met last night at the domestic science rooms of Anaheim high school and listened to an interesting address upon "Management" by C. R. Rogers, of the Emerson School of Efficiency, who was presented by C. W. Boynton, of the Pacific Clay Products Co., of Los Angeles. “There are more opportunities in So Calif., in ten minutes than in a lifetime in any other part of the world that I have visited,” declared the efficiency expert. “The only danger to fullest possible progress and development of this markedly favored section of the country is that the spirit of procrastination may affect those responsible for the doing of things.” The speaker gave as the four principal qualifications for an executive: 1—ability to analyze a situation; 2—ability to devise solution; 3—ability to put the vision into execution; 4—the personality of the man. He developed vividly each point. Following the address and business which included the circulation of a petition to the American Assn. of Engineers for an Orange-co charter, light refreshments were served under the direction of Sec. Clyde Butler of the Anaheim city engineering department. One of these wells is the Western Union, located on a 45-acre community lease near the original Standard producer, another is the Copeal community well, drilled by the Union Oil company on a 52-acre community lease, and the third is the Huntington Central No. I, drilled on a five-lot lease at the corner of Main street and Wesley ave. No wells yet brought in mean as much in the way of dividends and royalties to Orange-co people as do these three wells. A number of Orange county residents are interested in each of the three wells as lessors, and several scores of Orange-co people are stockholders in the Huntington-Central Co. The Western Union is today flowing 200 barrels of high quality oil. The well is 3460 feet deep with the drill having penetrated only ten feet of oil sand below the cement. The flow of 200 barrels is through a ten-inch casing, showing great oil pressure. When the well is adjusted and depleted deeper into the sand, the production may become as great as the famous Bola Chica well, that is located far away. The Union Oil Co. well on what is known as the Copeland community lease representing 52 acres, was flowing from 109 to 150 barrels a day yesterday. Today the flow increased to about 200 barrels. The drill has gone but a short distance into the oil sand. The well is about 1500 feet from the Western Union well, and close to the Standard producers. There is every reason to expect it to develop into a big producer. Of the 52 acres concerned in this well’s success, J. J. Conrad owns ten. Among others who own some of the precious 52 are Supervisor T. B Talbert, J. K. McDonald, Joseph Vavra, the nurseryman, L. A. Copeland, C. E. Lovering and Kyle Hoyard, three bankers, all of Huntington Beach, and the Whitefield estate. The heirs in the Whitfield estate live in Arizona. R. L. O'Barr and D. W. Houston, both of Huntington Beach, are also interested in one of these new wells. While the Huntington - Central well has been reported as a 4000 barrel well, it is not that much of a well yet, but may be its future as a producer is not determined. Last night for a time oil was shooting out of a small pine, and a report went out that the well was registering at the rate of 1500 barrels a day. More conservative estimates put the present flow downto 300 barrels. Since the well has been allowed to shoot intermittently only, it is hard to give an accurate estimate as to what it will do if it is allowed to flow for 24 hours without interruption. This well is down 2274 feet. The drill went 26 feet below the cement, the last 15 feet being oil sand. There seems to be some argument as to whether or not the well should be drilled 300 feet deeper at this time. The Harte well located serpentine PARTY OFF SUNDAY ON LONG EXPEDITION Arriving at Balcony with the Maund F. owner by E. D. Burge, P. H. L. "Doc" Wilson announced that an expedition of oil and coal barons to Lower California would sail from Orange-co harbor Sunday. The vessel was brought into the harbor and provisioning of the boat will be rushed. Included in the party will be a group of strong financial men and they are going to the coast of Lower California and the Gulf of California to investigate oil possibilities. The snydicate has control of several million acres of land along the coast and on a series of islands, and it is asserted that if oil indications are favorable, the work of putting in dockage facilities will start within the next six months at some point along the coast. Included in the party which will sail Sunday will be Col C. J. Velardi, head of the department of oil and petroleum of the Mexican government, who will cooperate in every way possible with the financiers in their contemplated plan of prospecting new oil territory. The party expects to devote a month and a half to the cruise and investigations. Geologists and engineers will be included in the party. A. W. Thomas, Phone 450— A. W. Thomas, Phone 450— The Plain Dealer for Job Printing, will being results. Following the address and business which included the circulation of a petition to the American Assn. of Engineers for an Orange-co charter, light refreshments were served under the direction of Sec. Clyde Butler of the Anaheim city engineering department. HOLD 2 YOUTHS FOR ATTEMPT UPON GIRL The unrania of criminal assault which is spreading alarmingly in Orange-co in the past few years, has spread even to the ranks of childhood, it was brot out this morning at Fullerton when two small Mexican boys, one 16 years old and the other 10 years old, were seized in time to prevent them from making a criminal assault upon the person of an 11 year old white girl on the Santa Fe tracks near Placentia. The boys were seen lying in wait for the little girl by a neighbor man, and also by the girl's father who, of course prevented the crime. The girl's father would have used violence but the cooler judgment of the other man prevailed and the boys were turned over to the Fullerton police department, who in turn turned them over to the juvenile authorities of Santa Ana. They were taken to Santa Ana about noon today, where the matter will be probed and the punishment of the boys decided upon. MRS. MYERS IS NOT DOING VERY WELL Mrs. John Myers, of E. Center-st, was still in a precarious condition today as the result of an attack by two men near her home Wednesday evening. Yesterday afternoon she had seemed brighter but she spent a bad night and was not doing well today, according to report of friends. It has been impossible for an officer or other stranger to interview her, as the appearance of a stranger sends her into hysteries and she lives the awful experience. In such attacks, she is unable to recognize the members of her family. SCHULTE TO ERECT SAUSAGE FACTORY A. Schulte will begin the erection of a brick building on the site of the old Koenig winery on Claudina street next week to be used as a delicatessen factory for the making of sausage. The building will cost about $2,500 and the machinery will be installed at a cost of about $8000. Mr. Schulte will extend a lease on the factory for five years. The capital is being advanced by G. Gelinger and his partner of Milwaukee. Mr. Gelinger owns a 20-acre ranch just out of Anaheim. The building will be completed within about two weeks after work begins, and it will later be enlarged as the business may increase. Sheriff Jackson is not announcing the hour of Bebo's release in order to avoid a crowd as much as possible. PAINTING BY SYMON IN $50,000 ART EXHIBIT AT VALENCIA ORANGE SHOW Bessie Lyons, of "Chocolate Soldier" Fame, will be Prima Donna of the Exposition. Gardner Symon of New York, one of the greatest American painters of today has signified his intention to permit one of his fine canvasses to be hung in connection with the $50,000 art exhibit of the Laguna Beach Art Assn., at the California Valencia Orange Show. Wm. Wendt, another of the foremost American painters, will have an entry. Bessie Lyons who played the leading role in the "Chocolate Soldier" at Chicago for several seasons, signed a contract yesterday to furnish the prima donna calaber of music for the show. One of her numbers is Arditi's "Kiss Waltz," so many years the favorite of Adelina Patti, and one of the most difficult of concert songs. She has also a number of very catchy late compositions for encores and will do the full line colorature soprano work. Miss Lyons was very much delighted with her reception here and proved to be a very pleasant and interesting young lady. Don Jose Sanchez, a native of Yorba Linda and a baritone of unusual merit, even for California, will sing in Spanish costume each afternoon and evening. This young man COUNTY WINNER IN SUIT OVER HIGHWAY In accordance with a stipulation of parties to an action brot by the Ord Land Co. against the county of Orange Superior Judge Z. B. West has handed down a judgment in favor of Orange-co for a strip of land, 20 feet wide, for a highway between Seal Beach and Sunset Beach. The judgment also quiet title for the plaintiff for the remainder of the land which was in dispute. SPECIAL MUSICAL PROGRAM SUN.EVE. A special musical program will open the evening service at the White Temple Sunday. The popular choruses of the Evangelists Brown and Curry will be sung by a choir of 50 voices. The program will open with "Unfold Ye Portals" by Gounod. Then the choir will sing the chorus "All Hail Immanuel!!!" This will be followed by "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" to the tune of Diadem. During the great revival that swept Wales 25 years One of her numbers is Arditt's "Kiss Waltz," so many years the favorite of Adelina Patti, and one of the most difficult of concert songs. She has also a number of very catchy late compositions for encores and will do the full line colorature soprano work. Miss Lyons was very much delighted with her reception here and proved to be a very pleasant and interesting young lady. Don Jose Sanchez, a native of Yorba Linda and a baritone of unusual merit, even for California, will sing in Spanish costume each afternoon and evening. This young man was the protege of the late Constantino, celebrated Italian opera singer, for two years, and that lamented artist claimed that Sanchez had the making of one of the greatest singers of the world. Chairman H. E. W. Barnes of the amusement committee has other disclosures to make in regard to the program, which he avers will be of equal interest. Space in the industrial department is nearly all gone and this phase of the work from now on will require no extra effort, as the fame of the show has become so great that it is now but a question of being able to satisfy the most desirable parties in search of space in this mammoth department. Chairman Romaine Berger of the citrus exhibit department has nearly lined up his space, but is sending out a letter today enjoining on those who wish to make an exhibit the necessity of immediate action. The California Valencia Orange Show is as nearly up to date with all its work as can be possible. Monday next, the ground north of Los Angeles street will be disked and leveled as on Tuesday Tom Kennedy, the tent foreman, will begin to lay out the grounds for pegging and the great main top will be swung up during the week. It is proposed to have the tent in the air by next Saturday, and from that date on the energies of the show committee will be divided between the office and the grounds. City Briefs C. C.

During the great revival that swept Wales 25 years ago a Welsh miner became so filled with the spirit of Jesus Christ that out of the fulness of his heart he wrote Diadem on the walls of the mine where he was working. It is one of the most thrilling sacred chorus ever written. The closing musical number will be a group of three songs famous at the Huntington Beach camp meeting. The negro jubilee song, "Some D' These Days" will be received with pleasure. The soloist, Mrs. Knelp of Orange, is a mezzo soprano of great talent.
