He had purchased Rancho Santa Ana del Chino six years before from the heirs of Isaac Williams, with money he made developing the famous Tombstone silver mines. Los Angeles was still a sleepy little settlement, but was beginning to come to life, and Southern California was target of spectucuiar land boom spurred on by railroad competition.

Richard Gird envisioned a thriving industrial center for Chino Valley, served by a network of railroads going in all directions San Diego. Los Angeles. Long Beach und points east. So in 1887 he laid out a new town, with home lots in the center and small farms of 10 acres around the edges, and named it Chino after the ranch. A year later the bubble burst, and things went pretty slow until Mr.

Gird talked the Oxnard brothers into establishing a sugar plant here. At least there was one industry to support the town. Now. 85 years later, Chino may be a little closer to whal Mr. Gird envisioned, except that highways have replaced railways.

At any rate. 1971 was the year that ended the five-year slump which hit Chino after the real estate bust hit Southern California in the late sixties. The freeway was expected to bring new growth, and the predictions have been fulfilled. Home building in Chino is moving again, and commercial development should be close behind. And hopefully, as the nation's economy expands, industrial development will follow.

Chino is certainly in much better shape to take industry than it was five years ago. Streets, water and sewers are available throughout the industrial area. Rail service has been expanded and the highways are better. The industrial waste sewer line is underway. Chino airport has expanded, and will soon have FAA radio controlled landings and takeoffs.

Night landings are possible with new lighting equipment. What will Chino be like in 2057, another 85 years from now? Probably hard to recognize. Even by 1980 we're supposed to have around 100.000 people, although that will be going some. The Chino area can amply house 300.000 eventually, but someone better beat the smog first. According to the dreamers we'll have an international airport in our hills by 1980, and freeways on all four sides of us.

A beautiful regional park will fill the Prado Busin. The year 2057 is impossible to envision. But it's not hard to foresee quite a bit of development here in the next few years, progress that will demand new spirit and new ideas. Mark Robbins We'll bus till we bust I like people. That Is, most people.

But I've suddenly taken a violent dislike lor Federal District Judges. Especially when llicy make a monkey of me. like thai judge in Richmond, Virginia did. Recently I wrote a column on busing suggesting that it should be judged on an case basis rather than in generalities. That's just whal the Richmond judge did and it didn't work out very well.

He ordered the school district in Richmond to combine with the school district in the adjoining county so that 78,000 children could be bused back und forth to achieve integration. It was about the same as ordering Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County lo combine so kids could be bused Irom Watts to Sun Bernardino. If they cun do that, they could decree one school district from Santa Barbara to San Diego. There is a rationale, of sorts, for all this busing. The reseurchers have concluded that all the kids will learn more if blacks, browns, yellows and whites ure mixed together in each schoulhouse.

All kids would get belter education, which is what we all want. Bul whal works in the laboratory doesn't always work the same way in the Held tests. Perhaps we should examine all this a little more carefully. Let's start wilh the Smith family, pop and mom at the breakfast table. Pop inquires.

"Wliere's Sally go to school today?" Mom replies, "She goes to Escondldo. Joe will be In Oxnard and Marvin in Santa Barbara." Pop grabs his lunch and heads for the door. "Will they be home in lime for dinner?" "Not this week. But I hear the school board's going lo buy some planes for test next week. They ouglil to get the kids home earlier." "I didn't know Judge Merry ordered the school board to fly the kids around." "He didn't.

Bul neither did Judge Gitelson order Los Angeles to bus the kids around." Pop stopped al the door and turned. "1 know he didn't bul he certainly knew the racial percentages he was decreeing couldn't be accomplished in any oilier way. Is Ihe school board going to bus the kids to und from the airports?" "No. they're buying big twin-rotor helicopters so Ihc kids can land right on the playground." "That'll mean landing pads at every school from San Diego tu Santa Barbara. It'll cost a fortune." "It won't be quite that bad.

They'll still use buses for the shorter hauls. The copters are only for the long hauls or where there aren't good freeways." Pop grimaced. "There aren't any good freeways in the rush hours. Whal about that?" "I heard something about staggering the hours." "Well, let's have dinner early. We're going to the school board meeting tonight." Mr.

Smith didn't get lo ask any questions Ihul niglit. The school board was busy discussing the report they had just received from their consulting firm. According to their report, in addition lo the hundreds of highway buses that would be required. 471 of Ihe big hell- buses would be needed. They would cost $3 million each.

Landing pads would run about $30,000 each including shelters, drainage, fencing, pad lighting and other utilities. And a plane crew, according to the report, would cost a small fortune. All In all. the consultants reported, the transportation costs would just about equal all Ihe money coming in from taxes. There would be no money left to hire any teachers.

The report concluded, "Wc should point out, however, that this plan completely meets every requirement of all decisions handed down by the Federal Courts. The only remaining problem is whal to teach Ihe kids, and how lo insure thai children of all races and ethnic backgrounds receive an equal education. Our only solution to Ihis is lo have Ihe plane crews teach Ihe kids PING-PONG." Fight looms over regional sewer plan By WALT ORVIS A disagreement between Ihe Chlno Busin Municipal Water District and live cities over conlrol of a regional sewer system may come lo a head today at regular ineeting of the CBMWD board. After siinic 18 months of negotiations, the local agencies and Iheli special counsel came up with an allemale agree- niciil. soniewhiil different from one Ihc CBMWD had originally offered nearly two years ago.

Bul CBMWD disagreed with numerous provisions of the proposed contract written by Frank lljinillon. special counsel, and the technical commillee of the six. Clihio is one of them. The others are Monlclaif. Upland.

Ontario, and Fontana. Included also is the Cucamonga County Water District, a municipal sewage system owner like the cities are. The cilys' proposed contract came back from a trip to the CBMWD board with lines drawn through provision after provision. The CBMWD official minutes says that the board "was generally in agreement with the terms and conditions with the exception of Ihe following items: ownership ofeffluent. joint powers agreement, audit committee, cancellation of the district's tertiary irealmeni contract with OnUrio and Upland and grant applications." That in a nutshell is the proposed contract.

The mayors and manager's committee for time of the CBMWD agenda. was scheduled for 10 a.m. today. CBMWD wants clear title to all the effluent coming from sewer plants in the basin, not just conlrol as the six agencies proposed, ll iseslimaled that treated effluent will exceed the amount CBMWD needs to satisfy the amount due Orange County as the result of Ihe setllemenl of Ihe Orange County waler suit. The cities would like lu have some rights lo Ihe excess, which they probably could sell for irrigation or other purposes.

Or the money could help pay Ihe costs of service charges of Ihe agencies levied by CBMWD as Ihc treatment plant operator. The audit committee was designed lo give the six smaller agencies some measure of control over what CBMWD does wilh Ihe regional sewer system, although CBMWD would still control the effluent. committee would also have to be notified of final grant applications by CBMWD for stale and federal funds. Another point of contention is the Ontario-Upland contract with CBMWD. which would be superseded by the proposed six-agency contract thai CBMWD doesn't like.

If the CBMWD and Ihe six agencies cannot reach an agreement, the six may seek an allemale solution lo a regional sewer system, which is whal was advised by Mr. Hamilton, a specialist in certain special district matters. The major alternate is formation ofa sanitation district like the one in Los Angeles County, an independent taxing agency, which could build a regional system of pipes and treatment plants, which could then conceivably sell the treated effluent to CBMWD. the agency obligated lo supply the treated water to Orange County. NEWEST SERGEANT Bob Williams, a three-year veteran with the Chino Police Department, has been promoted to sergeant.

When he took off he was upstaged by Howard Hughes, and some editors considered the billionaire's trip to Managua more exciting than the President's trip to Peking. Then, just when things were going the President's way again, the California Supreme Court upstages the U.S. Supreme Court and outlaws the death penalty. Even Governor Reagan ended up getting as much space as the President on that one. The American public is rather fickle on giving its attention to national events.

Had he moved his missiles to Cuba two weeks earlier, the American public might have been more concerned with the upcoming World Series. It took seven games, the last played on take one giant step for mankind by placing a man on the moon in 1969. Now, two and a half years later, we've taken an equally historical step by placing a President in China.

This could well be Ihe second giant step for mankind. Imagine being able to see the surface of the moon live on television several years before we ever saw the surface of China live on the tube. It didn't cost more to go to China. It was just harder to convince the American people that China was closer than the moon. And how the American people love mysteries.

At a cost of less than a million dollars, McGraw-Hill, Life Magazine and CUfford Irving have managed to lake everybody's mind off Vietnam except for the politicians. And Irving almost pulled off the slickest slight of hand since the Brink's robbery. I'm still waiting to see if the public will regard him as hero or a heel. Remember Lt. William Calley?

Nothing ever happens In mid-July, so that's the time the Americans chose to Nixon, Muskie and ex-brother-in-law Teddy last week, when she told a court with a straight face (in the trial of the photographer who has been bothering her) that she had no idea that she was a public figure. What a finish it would have made If she'd actually said "It's all Greek to me." MiiftMBiMri ttm.
