PAVING WORK IS DROPPED FOR TIME Bond Election Provides For Pipe, Says Steward Anaheim's $110,000 bond election will be called in May, according to City Manager O. E. Steward. The bonds will be used for a new well the fifth to be put into operation, fire hydrants, fittings and cast iron pipe. The fact that a fifth well is included shows that the plan for an all-county water supply, even if adopted, will not be realized in time to save the Anaheim district, altho the latter is better off than some others. No paving will be done in the city until these bonds are voted, because the pipe must first be laid, said Steward. The location of the fifth well has not been decided upon. A location near the river has been suggested, but the city manager declared that the average level of the existing wells would be affected even if the new well was located at such a distance. Location of the well with the New Building Value $114,000 Building permits filed so far in March represent a valuation of more than $114,710.50, not including permits today. Forty-two permits have been issued. Considering the fact of the many recent banner months, February excepted, this showing is regarded as good. The week ending yesterday showed permits representing a valuation of $9710. ANNUAL REPORT OF SUPPLY CO. The annual report of P. B. Hutchens, General Manager of the Fruit Growers Supply Co., for the year ended Dec. 31, 1922 lists among its more important accomplishments the refinancing of the outstanding indebtedness, a survey of the activities and management, and a total business transaction for the season just past of more than twelve and a half million dollars, according to the report to be published shortly. The refunding of the company's outstanding indebtedness has been accomplished through the sale of a bond issue of $4,000,000 maturing in fixed annual installments over a period of 12 years. This enables the company to retire the indebtedness as it matures without impairment of its operating efficiency, and places it in a strong financial position. The survey of the company's activities and management included an appraisal of its assets and industrial leader At C. of C. Luncheon. G. W. SULLEY AT C. OF C. LUNCHEON G. W.

He has addressed retailers' conventions, C. of C., Retail Merchants' ass'n, and smaller groups of S. and Canada merchants in all parts of the United States and Canada.

For 15 years he was connected with the educational work of one of the largest firms in the country—a company which is an ac No paying will be done in the city until three londs are voted, because the pipe must first be laid, said Steward. The location of the fifth well has not been decided upon. A location near the river has been suggested, but the city manager declared that the average level of the existing wells would be affected even if the new well was located at such a distance. Location of the well with the other four at the pumping plant will not bring the average yield down enough in comparison with what it would be if the well were along the riverbed, to make that necessary.

Name Kiwanis Delegates Fullerton Kiwanis program yesterday was in charge of the education committee under the chairmanship of W.T. Boyce, dean of F.J.C. Questions were passed out to each member on what Kiwanis really means and what it stands for. Short talks were made by Louis E. Plummer, Albert Launer and Waldo O'Kelly. Delegates to the International convention to be held in Denver this year were selected: G.W. Finch and Dr.Wm.Wickett and Duck Gregory and C.A.Marsecy, alternates. The refunding of the company's outstanding indebtedness has been accomplished through the sale of a bond issue of $4,000,000 maturing in fixed annual installments over a period of 12 years This enables the company to retire the indebtedness as it matures without impairment of its operating efficiency, and places it in a strong financial position. The survey of the company's activities and management included an appraisal of its assets and property. This was carried out by a committee of its directors, who inspected the lumber operations and considered all of its departmental activities and general policies They employed an independent firm of accountants of national reputation to audit the books, competent industrial engineers of standing to make a study of the operation and activities, and an established appraisal company to make the appraisal. The report of the survey and the conclusions reached by the committee were printed and sent to all stockholders of the Supply Co. Teaching through the eye is one of Mr. Sulley's hobbies He illustrates his talks with large charts and diagrams On large pads of paper he works out the problems he is discussing, and makes every point clear with sketches and illustrations He adds is no "fairy tale." It is a straight-from-the-shoulder business talk which makes merchants think. Wherever he has spoken, merchants have been enthusiastic, and the local press has been loud in its praise of the way he has treated his subjects. There isn't a retailer in Anaheim who can afford to miss Mr. Sulley's address You can hear Mr. Sulley at the Elks club, Thursday noon, March 27. OCCUPATIONAL TAX LAW TESTED A test of the city occupational tax law was made when W.B.Allen, realtor, was brot before J.F.Ahliborn, city recorder, on the charge of refusing to comply with the ordinance which provides a semi-annual tax of $9 for real estate brokers. The refusal was made on the ground that the realtors are already paying this license in a state tax, and that the city ordinance would compel them to pay twice. Mr.Allen is backed by the local reality board and the other boards of the county, and plans to carry the matter to the Supreme court. Mr.Allen entered a plea of not guilty, and hearing was set for April 7. 27,000 REGISTERED With a final rush of voters expected to register before the books close April 5, Orange-co's total is expected to range well above the 30,000 mark County Clerk J.M.Backs said today.The total today had gone above 27,000.

THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. and Building Page rial Leader C. of C. Luncheon Anaheim Gets Into Limelight "Anaheim is to be the meeting place for the first big industrial conference to be held this spring under the auspices of the California Real Estate Ass'n." This was the announcement by J. E. Schumacher, before the Anaheim Reality Board, who declared that the state association was now considering Anaheim and San Diego and that the committee in charge planned two industrial conferences. "The attraction to Anaheim, it is said, is due to the industrial activity that has been apparent since the inauguration of an industrial drive here by the Chamber of Commerce. It means that approximately 300 realtors and men engaged in other lines of endeavor would gather in Anaheim for a one-day session which the industrial and manufacturing situation in the Southland would be the topic of discussion, according to State Vice-President Everett A. White of Santa Ana." TRUNK LINE DEBATED TONIGHT Associated C. of C.'s Expected to Aid in Road To Harbor The matter of the proposed straight line boulevard from Fullerton to Newport harbor is expected to be discussed tonight at the regular meeting of the Associated C. of C. of Orange-co at a meeting at the St. Ann's Inn in Santa Ana, Jake Schumacher, a booster of the road said today. Mr. Schumacher says that if the road is put thru it would be one of the greatest things for Orange-co that could happen, cutting off about 4½ miles in distance and relieving the congestion of the present boulevard. He said that only about 10 miles of the road remains to be paved. It would run from Fullerton straight road on the present highway to the Anaheim city limits, and straight thru Palmestin in Anaheim, via Costa Mesa, to the Barber. It is hoped to have it a 30-foot highway with 10 inches concrete base. If put thru, Mr. Schumacher says that it would be one of the heaviest traveled roads. SULLEY AT OF C.

STEEL FRAME MOST DURABLE Considerable discussion and no small amount of enlightenment as to what kind of building construction best withstands extraordinary shock, was brought out by the recent earthquake disaster in Japan. Fortunately, there is little room for argument on any side, with the unmistakable results of the quake plainly apparent in the ENGLISH AVIATO TAKE TO AIR AG HAVRE, France, March Soudron Commander A. STEEL FRAME MOST DURABLE Considerable discussion and no small amount of enlightenment as to what kind of building construction best withstands extraordinary shock, was brought out by the recent earthquake disaster in Japan. Fortunately, there is little room for argument on any side, with the unmistakable results of the quake plainly apparent in the devastated area. The facts of the catastrophe are significant enough to require little comment. In the city of Tokyo, 75 per cent of all buildings were completely destroyed by earthquake or fire. The balance includes many steel frame structures recently erected upon newfound principles, and two reinforced concrete buildings, the only ones of their kind to survive. These latter were the Rusan-Antie Bank, and the Imperial Hotel. This almost complete failure of reinforced concrete construction was a great surprise to many. The important surviving buildings were of steel framing construction, same with common brick curtain walls and terra cotta trimming, others faced with terra cotta and backed with common brick. These structures suffered little damage beyond a slight falling away, or crackling, of a few feet of brick and terra cotta. Mr. Robert W. Tempest, prominent consulting engineer of San Francisco, after an exhaustive study of the earthquake results in Japan, has lectured and shown his photographs and motion picture films of the quake zone in many cities on the coast. In an article on the subject in the Pacific Coast Architect for February, 1924, Mr. Tempest writes: "It would seem that more genuine unprejudiced thought should be exercised by architects and engineers in developing details of design which would overcome to a large extent the mistakes of the past. The great wrong that is being committed in building operations is the tendency on the part of the engineers and architects to allow themselves to be led into competition to evolve the cheapest and largest structure possible for the least amount of money." OPTIMISTIC ON ORANGE COUNTY Optimistic reports of the condition of Orange-co were given Saturday by Robert Strain, manager of the American Fruit Growers at Fullerton, at the annual meeting could happen, cutting off about 4½ miles in distance and relieving the congestion of the present boulevard. He said that only about 10 miles of the road remains to be paved. It would run from Fullerton straight north on the present highway to the Anaheim city limits, and straight thru Palmetto in Anaheim, via Costa Mesa, to the barber. It is hoped to have it a 30-foot highway with 10 inches concrete base. It put thru Mr. Schumacher rays that it would be one of the heaviest traveled roads in the county. ROAD TO FULLERTON PLAN PROGRESSING All steps are being taken to push the plan to extend North Lemon-st thrue to the boundaries of Fullerton, in spite of Fullerton's postponement of co-operation in the project. The rights of way have all been obtained or pledged, it is said. Secretary George W. Reid of the C. C. reiterated the statement that the Anaheim chamber would not be satisfied until the road had been built, and Supervisor W. M. Schnmacker is backing it as before. J. T. Lyon REALTY CO. REORGIZING The final sign of reorganization of the J. T. Lyon Realty Co., appeared today, when the name of Frank Tausch, as vice-president, was put upon the big show window. Lyon remains president and Mrs. Mildred Allen is secretary and treasurer. W. E. Duckworth, former member of the firm, has sold all his interests in Anaheim, both in the firm and outside of it. His house he sold to N. H. Miller and his business property, housing the Anaheim Truck & Transfer Co., to J. T. Lyon. The company is incorporated for $50,000.

OPTIMISTIC ON ORANGE COUNTY Optimistic reports of the condition of Orange-co were given Saturday by Robert Strain, manager of the American Fruit Growers at Fullerton, at the annual meeting of managers of the company in Los Angeles. Representatives from all California, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and the Imperial valley were present. A banquet in the evening was a feature. Strain and George Foster of the company's walnut department attended. Strain reported today that his company would put up a citrus fruit house in the Anaheim district next year. Supplementing his report at the meeting, he declared that the drought had cut down vegetable acreage in Northern Orange-co very considerably. By this means losses had been prevented at least Both tomato and bean acreage was very small. Recent rains have improved the condition of crops actually planted quite markedly. Strain added. WANT 3-YEAR SCALE INDIANAPOLIS, March 26.—A referendum of the membership of the United Mine Workers of America shows it to be overwhelmingly in favor of the three-year wage agreement negotiated at Jacksonville, Fla., according to figures made public at the miners' headquarters here today. The vote was 164,858-1-2 for the wage scale and 26,253-1-2 against it. Each miner-in-good standing in the union has one vote and some of the men split their votes, it was explained.
