Groundbreaking ceremonies were scheduled this morning at 135 Colorado Place, where construction of a new first-run theater was set to begin next week. This comes one week after a disastrous fire which gutted the Arcadia Theatre.
Mrs. Lucille H. Urban was appointed by the Arcadia City Council last week to fill the vacancy in the Arcadia Water Department left by Miss Gladys Randall, who was discharged.
C. Loree "Jack" Russell, member of the Arcadia City Council for the past two years, was elected presiding officer of the council and will serve the city as Mayor.
