DEPOT ON HIGHWAY 99 1 Blk. East of St. Supervisors Set Date, Designafe Five Divisions Action of Board Follows Public Hearing Monday The question of whether or not the San Bernardino Valley has a basically sufficient water supply will be put before the voters on Jan. 26 when they are asked to decide on the formation of the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, first main step in the current program of annexation with the Metropolitan Water District. -The County Board of Supervisors Monday afternoon set the date, at the same time officially designating -the five divisions for the pro posed district, which would stretch from Bloomington to Yucaipa and from the base of the mountains to the Riverside County line.

DIRECTORS ELECTED Each division will elect a mem ber to the board of directors of the district. Resolutions setting the date and the divisions were submitted to the board by Atty. James L. King, legal adviser to the Upper Santa Ana River Basin Water Study Committee. The date was approved upon motion of Supervisor Frank H.

Mogle and the divisions upon a motion by Supervisor James W. Gerrard. E. F. Dibble, Santa Ana com mittee engineer, told the board that if the district is formed through a successful election in January it will be another three months before the board of directors can carry out an election on whether or not to annex to the MWD.

He also said the district directors can just as easily move toward support of the Feather River Project as annexation to the MWD. 'POSSIBLE PITFALLS' Discussion during the morning board session hinged so often on the proposed but separate East San Bernardino County Water District, and on the possible pitfalls that MWD might involve, that Gerrard was forced to tell the audience bluntly: "We can't get into a discussion on the merits and demerits of the MWD. Today we only have to decide on the proposed division boundaries and to set a date for the election." "I tlynk we're getting into a spot where we're holding the election right here," said Supervisor Will R. Mason at another point in the debate. MQVE OPPOSED Spokesman for the opposition was LeRov Holmes, also active in opposing the East County Wa ter District.

"The whole assumption that we are short of water is based on the Baker-Conkling report," he told the gathering. "There may be lots of truth in it, but I don't agree wholeheartedly. A group of engi neers can make a report read any way they want." He insisted there is "no real water shortage" in the valley, citing "10 or 11 feet" the water lev- 1 has dropped since 1935 as main ly due to recent dry years. -Labeling the report and the MWD movement "an alarmist deal," Holmes said the valley should wait for the Feather River Project's completion for its added water. MINERAL RIGHTS warning of a possible loss of mineral rights within the valley if it joins with the MWD brought a quick clarification from "County Counsel Albert E.

Weller. There is no provision for a municipal water district to take over mineral rights whether it annexes to the MWD or not, Weller said. When members of the audience repeatedly demanded what the (Continued on Page 26, Column 5) Do You Have One of Them? How these "muscles of expression" help bottle up the pockets of infection surrounding some diseased teeth was explained in a paper by Dr. Harry Sicher, a Viennese professor of anatomy and research at Loyola University, Chicago. He was one of several speakers at the 10th annual meeting of the Institute, which has brought a select group of more then 400 dentists here from all over America.

These small muscles, which enable a person to smile or smirk, wrinkle his chin or purse his lips, form sheaths across the cheeks and mouth and are fastened to facial bones near the roots of many teeth, Dr. Sicher explained. It is a rule of infections, he said, that they spread along the paths of least resistance, through fatty and loose connective tissue.

3. Existing mutual companies have proved they can supply adequate water at minimum cost. 4. The issue in itself is confused by many people with the valley-wide municipal district election and MWD annexation. The discussion revealed that even in Pioneer Gardens, focal point of the district formation movement, 122 persons have signed petitions asking for exclusion.

Before Gerrard offered his motion, Wilson agreed with many of the opponents that the area south of Base Line street should be ruled out. On a map presented by Holmes, the southern portion was almost entirely colored, showing property which residents desire kept out of! the district. As originally proposed, the district would also include large plots of federal, state, and county property, which Chairman S. Wesley Break pointed out would not be taxable.

This therapeutic internal effect isn't connected to the external pleasurable sensation, but was described as one of nature's unique defenses against the spread of infection. Tax Appeal Hearing Before Supervisors Will Be Resumed The Wherry Housing hearing, which has plagued the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors for several months, willt be resumed at 10 a.m. Tuesday when the board sits as a Board of Equalization on an appeal from $43,148 in taxes paid by the Mesa Estates, and the Victor Valley Housing Corp.

Lawrence handling the county's side. The board in August canceled a combined 5785,330 valuation on the two projects and ordered a re assessment. When the reassess ments were found to total $828,200. the appeal was launched by Hol brook. The taxes, though paid, were paid under protest, according to County Tax Assessor's Office.

110 NORTH STREET PHONE 9-1005 The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, after setting a municipal water district election a few hours earlier, temporarily sidestepped another water issue and delayed action on proposed East San Bernardino County Water District following a hearing Monday afternoon. After two hours of discussion, Supervisor James W. Gerrard successfully put through a motion referring the boundary question to the county surveyor. A map will be prepared with an amended boundary to coincide more closely with exclusion and inclusion requests and the hearing will be continued at 2 p.m. Mon day, Nov.

9. BOUNDARIES SET The boundary as presented to the board Monday afternoon included the area between Highland avenue and Third street on the north and and Waterman and Victoria avenues on the east and west. Main questions brought up by residents of the area who crowded the supervisors chamber included the status of private wells and the ability of the proposed district to levy taxes. Atty. Ernest A.

Wilson of San Mateo, appearing for the proponents, said: "Owners of private wells need not worry. I've never heard of a private well condemned by a district unless the whole area was under condemnation proceedings." He also stated the existing mu tual water companies in the area would not be muscled out, and reminded his audience repeatedly the district, as proposed, would pay its costs tnrougn revenue bonds and not taxation. However, upon prodding by Le-Roy Holmes, Arthur L. Campbell, Mrs. Clifton C.

Peters and other opponents of the district, Wilson admitted the directors can levy taxes if they wish, can undertake condemnation proceedings in the district's interest and can sell "surplus water."
