HOTEL ANGELINA WILL EDISON NOT OPPOSED TO SWING BILL Ballard Appears Before House Committee on Colo. River Plan WASHINGTON, March 13.—Appearing before the house committee on irrigation of arid lands, R. H. Ballard of Los Angeles, vice-president and general manager of the So. Calif. Edison Co., for many years president of the National Electric Light Ass'n., and a member of the Franklin Institute of Pennsylvania to which he was elected in 1915 for distinguished service in the electrical profession, stated that he wished to deny the charge that power companies are opposing the appropriation of government funds for the construction of a dam on the Colorado river for the purpose of flood control and electric power generation. He said that the Edison Co. was not opposing the bill introduced by the conservative Swing which R. H. BALLARD ANAHEIM SHIPS 75 CARS SINCE OCT. Ne. Orange-co Exchange had 6630 cars of citrus, fruit, including 775 cars of lemons, still to be shipped March 1, compared with 7973 cars of which 935 were lemons Nov. 1, according to an official estimate today of Dale R. King, manager. Anheim district houses had 1988 cars of both fruits to ship March 1, of which 25 cars were lemons. It had shipped approximately 15 cars of oranges and lemons since Nov. 1. Realtors Seeking Licenses Make Avoidable Mistakes Says Commission State Real Estate Commissioner Edwin T. Kelser, whose office has issued approximately 25,000 real estate broker and salesman licenses during the first two months of the current year, places the blame for delay in issuing license squarely upon the shoulders of the applicants themselves. "The make avoidable mistakes," the commissioner declared, "and until they turn in their application properly there will be unavoidable delays in many cases." Kelser declared: "We have have a large number of complaints from brokers and salesmen who seem to feel that there has been entirely too little delay by this office in the issuance of their licenses." "The reason for this delay due largely to mistakes made." Electric Light Assn., and a member of the Franklin Institute of Pennsylvania to which he was elected in 1915 for distinguished service in the electrical profession, stated that he wished to deny the charge that power companies are opposing the appropriation of government funds for the construction of a dam on the Colorado river for the purpose of flood control and electric power generation. He said that the Edison Co. was not opposing the bill introduced by Representative Swing which the committee had been considering, and to his knowledge it was not being opposed by any other company. He said that witnesses appearing in favor of the bill now under consideration of the committee had charged him with statements he did not make, and had drawn unwarranted and unjustified conclusions from the things he had said. Mr. Ballard's statement was in brief as follows: "The Imperial valley of California is entitled to protection from the menace of floods caused by the erratic flow of this international stream and all of its potential electric capacity of the river should be developed. The entire development will be needed in the course of time to serve the requirements of the seven southwest states in the Colorado basin. If the government will start this development by providing funds for the construction of the first dam, we are prepared to make the electrical installations and generally distribute power throughout the whole territory to municipalities, industries, farms and domestic consumers under jurisdiction of the U.S. government and regulation by the state regulating commissions. If for any reason it is found inexpedient for the government to make this appropriation, we are prepared to do the whole job. Development by the company would be under the terms of the federal water power of 50 years with right of the government at the end of the period to take over the property at cost and determined by the federal power commission under the cost accounting system which the commission has established. "I have today filed with the arid lands committee a statement in writing signed by our president, John B. Miller, pledging an expenditure of from 20 to 40 million dollars a year for this work. Mr. Miller points out that the financing would be accomplished through the sale of bonds to investors throughout the country and the sale of the company's capital stock direct to the people in the whole territory served and who would be benefited by the development." To avoid waste, duplication and loss of interest all expenditures made by either the govern- Ne. Orange-co Exchange had 6630 cars of citrus fruit, including 775 cars of lemons, still to be shipped March 1, compared with 7972 cars of which 935 were lemons Nov. 1, according to an official estimate today of Date R. Kinne manager. Anaheim district houses had 1988 cars of both fruits to ship March 1, of which 25 cars were lemons. It had shipped approximately 75 cars of oranges and lemons since Nov. 1. The independents ship approximately one-third of the total fruit, making practically 3,000 cars still to go from the district. This however, doesn't mean that all this fruit will be of shipping quality. Orange-co Exchange associations, estimates Manager L. B. Palmer of the Orange-co Fruit Exchange, Orange, has approximately 11,630 cars of both fruits to be shipped by the Exchange houses against approximately 12,350 cars at the opening of the season. The California Fruit Growers' Exchange had 58,720 cars Maren 1, compared with 61,762 Nov. 1 Of these, 11,688 cars were lemons March 1 and 12,471 cars Nov. 1 leaving 46,732 of orange will ship on the recent date against 49,521 at the beginning of the season. So Calif has shipped to date this season 9,630 cars of oranges and 2,651 of lemons, compared with 10,266 and 2,058, respectively last year. Central California has shipped 5,929 cars of oranges and 152 of lemons against 4,691 and 214 cars, respectively to the corresponding date last year. EBERT DISSOLVES GERMAN REICHSTAG BERLIN, March 13—The German rechstag was dissolved today by President Ebert. Such action has been in contemplation for a fortnight. MICHIGAN PICNIC REUNION Michigan Ass'n of So. Calif., official organization of the Wolverines, calls on all Michigan people, residents and tourists, to rally for the annual picnic reunion, all day Saturday, March 15. Sycamore Grove park, Los Angeles. It will not be on Sunday. Announcement of local picicles will not change this picnic. Dr. M. R. Parmelee, president of the association, will preside. All the usual piclenic attractions will be offered and a great Jay is assured with old friends from home state. The county registers properly arranged, souvenir budges, hot coffee, program, sociability will fill a happy day. We have had a large number of complaints from brokers and salesmen who seem to feel there has been entirely too much delay by this office in the issuance of their licenses. "The reason for this delay due largely to mistakes made by the applicants themselves. Brews fail to sign their certificate and in many cases fail sign the bond as principal or close a check for their license. Salemen of ten fail to send a certified check as per instructions sent with the application form, or to enclose the few cases brokers will chase their address without notice this department and in other cases do not give the correct addendum to their post office department register all such letters to us respect letters sent to the larger office. "I have personally learned a number of complaints because delays in the issuance of licences have found that in each fault lies with the applicant rather than with the real department. "Our suspense file at theent time is filled with applications from brokers who have been requested to rectify.Many of them are negligent in this. They then send applications for their salemces and these, of coursebe held in suspense until application of the broker ispleted." "You can readily see a broker not properly comply with application forms. Leasthe machinery of this brook would promptly resist when requested; not be so difficult to handle situation and would assist really in the prompt issuethe license certificate. Present time we are holding $20,000.00 in our suspend simply because they apply first made a mistake,and when called upon to do so rectifiedthe mistake." Read the instructions in small type upon your printer blank and your quest and then follow them. Be sign your bond as princely see that your bond is filled out. Follow these To avoid waste, duplication and loss of interest all expenditures made by either the government or ourselves should be based upon a coordinated plan for the full development of the river as a whole as finally determined by the government engineers from all departments having jurisdiction. Such a coordinated plan should be carefully worked out with respect to market conditions and economic development to insure the eventual reimbursement of the cost of the dam from electric power revenues. The Swing-Johnson bill, now under consideration, calling for an appropriation of $70,000,000, does not do this. "It is true that Los Angeles city will need an additional domestic water supply 10 years or so from now if its present rate of growth continues and the enormous expenditure of bringing water to Los Angeles from the Colorado river may eventually be justified. There are, however, other sources of water to be obtained by Los Angeles if it will complete its aqueduct system in the Owens River valley and there are additional water resources close at home which will provide enough water for the requirements of ten million people. The present population of Los Angeles is one million. "It is not my intention to assume the position of knocking anybody, but in a matter so important as the one now under consideration all of the facts should be considered by the congressional committee from a non-partisan, unbiased viewpoint. The truth about any situation cannot injure anyone whose motives are sincere. "The company is willing that any license or permit granted by the U.S. government or by the states affected shall be subject and subordinate to the Colorado river compact signed at Santa Fe, N.M., last year, respecting the relative rights of the states in the Colorado basin, to the waters of the river." The So. Calif. Edison Co. is Saturday, March 15. Sycamore Grove park, Los Angeles. It will not be on Sunday. Announcement of local picnic will not change this plenic. Dr. M.R. Parmicele, president of the association, will preside. All the usual picnic attractions will be offered and a great Jay is assured with old friends from the home state. The county registers properly arranged, souvenir badges, hot coffee, program, sociability will fill a happy day. A California corporation engaged exclusively in the business of generating and distributing electricity as a public utility. It operates in ten counties throughout So. and Cent. Calif., serving more than 250,000 consumers directly, and through wholesale contracts with the city of Los Angeles and other So. Calif., municipalities, it serves indirectly an additional 150,000 consumers. Its present installed capacity is more than 500,000 horsepower and its total assets exceed $189,000,000. Its present outstanding capital stock is $63,-500,000 and bonds outstanding amount to $102,000,000. Since the resumption of normal business after the signing of the Armistice in 1918 the company's expenditures for new development have been $118,000,000 and its present expenditures for new development exceed $26,000,000 a year. "The company is distinctly a community enterprise, its stock being held by 68,000 individual stockholders. 90 per cent of whom reside in the territory served and are consumers of the company's product, and this number is increasing at the rate of 15,000 a year. Ninety-eight per cent of its employees are stockholders. Its officers are all residents of the district it serves and all but two of its directors reside in Los Angeles-co. Operating over a large territory of 55,000 square miles there is a great diversity in the character of its electrical road and because of this I am convinced that the company can produce and distribute power from the Colorado at a lower cost to consumers than in the case of any other possible agency. This lower cost would include the payment of large sums in taxes to the states and the federal government. Under a combined government and municipal development plan all of the physical property would escape taxation and all of the securities would be tax exempt."

The estimate of this job was $95,000.00 and considerable opposition resulted at the meeting of the supervisors at the time the hearing came up, by property owners claiming the cost would be exhorbitant and that the work should be put over for a year. Supervisor Schumacher and the Placentia Chamber of Commerce thrust its secretary Charles E. Lee, took the stand that now was the oppor-tive.

A gentleman now stopping at the Biltmore hotel, Los Angeles, and who will soon take an apartment in the local hotel, told Durfee that not even the Biltmore offered better facilities. Aside from the lobby, the first floor of the building will be occupied by first-class stores. The lobby is remarkably spacious, measuring 20 feet on East Center by 80 on North Philadelphia-st, and possesses entrance on both thorofares.

Several large, overstuffed davenports finished with mohair upholstery and many pieces of interesting period furniture in mahogany occupy the lobby. A big grandfather's clock will be another feature. A telephone switchboard, which will provide constant service day and night, is located near the handsome mahogany registration desk. Taking the automatic elevator or tiled stairs, the guest will ascend to the upper floors; passing thru wide, spacious halls to the apartments and rooms. On leaving the third floor, a wide, carpeted stairway leads to the social hall on the fourth floor, the roof garden and open air pavilion.
