Hart son of the two-gun film actors, renewed his prolonged fight for a share in his father's $1,170,287 testate. The younger Hart sued in Superior Court for nullification of the jury verdict which in 1950 held valid his father's will, under which the son was disinherited. The actor died in 1946, leaving most of the estate to Los Angeles County for the creation of a park at the actor's Newhall ranch.

BRODIE PROPOSES PLAN J. Stuart CamDbell. director of the Theater Workshop, a San Bernardino Valley College Extended Day class in acting, has announced "An Inspector Calls," spring play selection, is now being cast.

He said several parts are still open, with the need greatest for a man to play the young male lead in author J. B. Priestly's psy chological mystery. Ellis McGaffin. veteran Theater Workshop performer, has been named to portray the inspector, Campbell disclosed.

McGaffin ap peared in recent presentations of Dangerous Corner, and Over 21." He was also in the Redlands Footlighters staging of the "Silver Whistle." Production dates for "An Inspec tor Calls" are March 11-12. It will be centrally staged with the audience seated on all four sides of the actors, Campbell said. Persons interested in appearing in the play may contact director Campbell Monday, Wednesday or Friday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30 in the VC Auditorium, or may phone him at the college during the day.

So why not stop wishing and start saving today in the Payroll Savings Plan? Or, if you're self-employed, invest in Savings Bonds regularly where you bank.

Maybe you've always thought you couldn't save up big money well, now's the time to change your mind. Saving for big goals is as easy as signing your name, when you join the Payroll Savings Plan. Best of all, you do more than just save you invest your money and make it grow. And the whole process is safe, easy and automatic. Here's how it works: It was just two years after the Santa Fe completed its continental railroad from Kansas City through San Bernardino to San Di ego that a sewer system was de signed.

The first sewerage map was filed by City Engineer C. A. Smith on July 3, 1887. "During the ensuing 67 years," the report continues, "the city has sprung from a townsite having an area of approximately one square mile to a center of metropolitan significance containing a population in excess of 82,000 with an area of about 22 square miles." In 1927, a $600,000 bond issue was -approved by the electorate to construct the present sewage treat ment plant, syphon lines and certain outfall lines within the city. The treatment plant alone cost $291,000.

Brodie says this plant was de signed on a basis of 60,000 and an anticipated sewage flow of 70 gallons per capita per day, or a total plant capacity of 4.2 million gallons per day. 1 During World War II, the U.S. Engineers Dept. assisted the city in enlarging the treatment plan to provide a means of disposal of additional sewage from the then Norton Air Depot. The federal government kicked in $225,000 for the work.

City employes finished the project finally at a cost of $258,827. After the modfications it was anticipated the plant could serve a population of 80,000 persons, based upon a daUy per capita contribution of 89 gallons, or a maximum daily average flow of 8 million gallons. However, says Brodie, "The expectations of the modified plan were somewhat ambitious, since the living habits of the community proved to have changed during the years of World War II, resulting in a daily per capita contribution of approximately 120 gallons." The city's charter was amended on March 15, 1937, to establish the responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the sewage disposal plant. The City Water Dept. was given that responsibility and in April 1953 the board of commissioners urged a comprehensive study be made "to determine the future requirements of the city," says the report.

In a special chapter devoted to the city's growth, the report shows how the city zoomed its 1.13 square mile size in 1860-90 to 21.28 square miles in 1952-54. Brodie sums it up this way: "It is obvious that the population growth of San Bernardino and environs will call for additions to the present sewerage system, in- eluding not only the pipe lines FROM NINE TO FIVE 'Do you know anything a. if (This is the fifth article in a I series telling the story of San Bernardino's Five-Year Plan of capital improvements. This and the concluding article outline im- provements to the city's sewer-l age system as recommended by City Engineer Omer H. Brodie.) By HAL MeCLl'RE After many weeks of study and testing, the San Bernardino Engi- neering Dept.

has come up with a $4,172,663 plan to expand sewer-! age facilities in the city. It is this plan which is now be-; ing studied by the City Council. Members recently indicated it would not be placed on the April 12 general election ballot even if given the go-ahead signal. City Engineer Omer H. Brodie's I staff actually comes up with rec-l ommendations for a new sewage treatment plant east of existing facilities on S.

plus addi- tional main trunk sewers and oth- er improvements. Brodie's recommendations were based on a mushrooming popula- tion growth as were other city departmental plans for the future. A population of 135,095 is pre- dieted in 1970 within the present corporate limits of the city, Bro-die reports. And "should the pres- ent policy of encouraging annexation to the city prevail throughout the next 16 years, the population -within the city by the year 1970 could be well over 230,000 per- sons," Brodie says. In Brodie's well-documented 44- page report on his master plan for the sewerage system, he takes up history of the city's sewers alonzo l.

baker to speak at VC Baker Will Address Forum "Is America Going Isolationist Again?" is the subject of an ad- dress by Dr. Alonzo L. Baker, I scheduled Thursday night at Valley College Auditorium. The speaker continues the reg- lular Thursday night lecture series sponsored by the VC Extended -Day program, according to Mrs. iNora Parker Coy, director.

"Patrons who. have followed the lecture series for many years," Mrs. Coy, "will be glad to hear that Dr. Baker, for the first time in the year and a half following his automobile accident, is more able to stand while delivering his lecture." Adults are invited to attend Mrs. Coy said.

There is no charge. Dr. Baker is a professor of political science and international relations at the College of the Pacific, Stockton. He went into teaching only 12 years ago following a 20-year business career. He is a member of the Califor-'nia Republian State Central com-jnittee.

In 1953, Dr. Baker made one of his periodic visits to Europe. He plans a study trip to the Far East this coming summer. A lecture at the new university at Formosa is on the itinerary. Brodie then goes into a report of sewage flows throughout San Bernardino.

He said the tests were conducted during September and November last year at 17 strategic locations. An inspection wa made to deter mine the pipe diameters, slope, depth of present flow, prev ious maximum depth of flow from high water marks, velocity of flow, and the relative roughness of the inside surface of the pipes. And during this flow-measuring period, Brodie says, an inspection was made to determine the con dition of manholes and pipe. "At numerous locations there was evidence of 'sluggish' flow in lines laid to grades that normally would produce satisfactory veloci ties." He said deposits ol solids, as well as hydrogen sulphide slime accumulation upon the upper sur faces of the pipe, "tend to in crease the roughness factor and decrease its efficiency to carry liquids." Brodie urges that the entire sew erage system be cleaned period ically to increase its efficiency. The city engineer suggested the enactment of an ordinance to pro hibit the runoff of evaporative cool er water into the sewerage sys tem during warm weather to help decrease the sewage flow.

However, Brodie says the con struction of new intercepting sew ers to "relieve the overloaded conditions of any portion of the exist ing system should be held in abeyance until the results of a thorough cleaning of the system could be ascertained." CRESTLINE VOTERS PASS $460,000 WATER BOND ISSUE A bond issue of $460,000 was ap proved Tuesday by members of the Crestline Village Comity Wa ter District by a vote of 131 to 29. The count is unofficial, said Walter V. Combs, assistant coun ty clerk in charge of elections. Of the total bond issue voted, $280,000 will be used to buy out the Crestline Village Mutual Serv ice Co. in a "package" deal, according to Bishop Applegate, president of the Crestline Village County Water District.

An estimated $100,000 of the bond issue will be placed in a reserve fund, he said. Nine absentee ballots issued will be counted at later date but will not affect results of the election, said Combs By Jo Fischer about profits and you want your interest as current income, ask your banker about 3 Series Bonds that pay interest semiannually by Treasury check.
