(OCNS photo) State Gasoline Tax Apportionments To Orange County Cities Announced SACRAMENTO — A new record total of $23,454,814.65 of state gasoline tax revenues, surpassing last year's total by more than one million dollars, has been apportioned to 314 cities in California for street work during the current fiscal year. State Director of Public Works Frank B. Durkee announced today. Summer Session Registration Schedule Told The Santa Ana College Summer Session will begin June 21, with classes held in the evening to convenience the many students and adults who have day employment. It was announced today by Stuart Carrier, director. Registration will be conducted the first evening the class meets, and those taking more than one class may complete registration the first night. The Evening Division offices at 15th and Bristol street, are open both days and evenings for counselling in advance. Carrier predicted a record enrollment for the session ending Aug. 13. The curriculum will include these subjects: Business education: bookkeeping, professional bookkeeping, business arithmetic business law, beginning The apportionment, equivalent to five-eights of a cent per gallon out of the gasoline taxes paid by highway users, is made by the State Division of Highways in accordance with law on a population basis. The amounts range from $6,052,-424.07 for the City of Los Angeles to $447.86 for the City of Amador in Amador County. The total apportionment of Orange County for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1054, was $541,-797.71. The apportionments to Orange County cities were: Anaheim, $59,-838.17; Brea, $11,691.59; Buena Park, $30,314.51; Costa Mesa, $40,-009.16; Fullerton, $62,250.49; Huntington Beach, $17,412.82; Laguna Beach, $19,755.88; La Habra, $24,567.69; Newport Beach, $44,-147.13; Orange, $35,200.09; Placencia, $5,750.59; San Clemente, $13,-153.79; Santa Ana, $155,279.92; Seal Beach, $10,537.86; and Tustin, $3,894.02. Durkee pointed out that this money is distinct from the funds expended on state highways within cities and included in the State Highway Budget by the California Highway Commission. The five-eighths cent apportionment is for elevated water tank a fire department building, a public library and other park facilities as the city desires. Provide Landscaping With the land, Mrs. Backs and her husband, Edward Backs, gave the city the services of a landscape architect. Arthur Barton of Glendale. They provided that the city can use his services as they see fit. In 1953 the Backs gave the first parcel of more than six acres to the city along with the services of an architect who drew up an entire park plan. Since that time, the city appointed a park board headed by Douglas Harline, who was later elected to the City Council. The board decided after considering all circumstances that an additional six acres adjacent to the first parcel should be included in the park. After further negotiations with the Backs, the second parcel was given to the city last week making a total of more than 12 acres of land. Located in the center of town between the city administrative office and the schools, the park will be in an ideal spot for maximum use and development. Its exact location includes all the area on the northwest side of Placentia and Chapman avenues, east of the Legion hall, with the exception of the occupied properties on the Northwest corner. Water Company Stock Also provided by the historic family were five shares of Anaheim Union Water Company stock which will provide ample water for Kraemer Memorial Park. There is a pipeline for the water already installed on the north side of the area. Edward Backs is a director of the Anaheim Union Water Company and realized the importance of providing ample water for the large area. A unique situation has developed out of the water stock present. Legally, a provision had to be made in the deed that the stock cannot be encumbered for a length of time so that the water will always be available for park use. In drawing up the document, Attorney Robert Charles Mize of Santa Ana entered the following provision: "That the stock shall not be encumbered until 25 years after the life of Robert Charles Mize III, who is now 22 months old." The lad fairly beamed during the presentation just as if he realized the importance of his new position.

DIG THIS MONEY ATLANTA P—Claude Ridley of Chatsworth, Ga., protested a $106,674 federal income tax lien for the 1942-51 period although he did not deny a government claim that he bought $98,500 worth of government savings bonds during first time, yet filed no tax returns. Ridley testified at his civil trial that he had buried his earnings in fruit jars from 1935 to 1941 and dug up the money to buy bonds when World War II broke out. If It's News You'll See It In The Bulletin Samuel Kraemer helped his father put much of the ranch into cultivation and helped pitch the first tent in the Placentia area without realizing that he was founding a new city. In 1886 Kraemer was married to Angelina Yorba, a native of California, daughter of Prudencio Yorba and granddaughter of the famous Don Bernardo Yorba, who established one of California's first families. Before that time Yorbas and Kraemers were good friends and worked together in the develop- County Memorial Park in Placentia ded with Donation of Property By RAY RHOADS MIA—(OCNS) — Through the extreme generosity of the county's oldest family, Placentia will have a city park located in the center of town, the more than 12-acre parcel not only ideally located, but is of perfect park typographs and valley for all kinds of park development by the city's new park. is being given by Mrs. Kraemer Backs in honor ofents, Samuel Kraemer angeline Yorba Kraemer will be known as Memorial Park, in honour of founders of Placentia, in the deeds that were the City Council here provisions for Boy out houses a municipal reservoir, and ele-tank a fire depart-ing, a public library and facilities as the city deside Landscaping land, Mrs. Backs and L.

Developed First Irrigation Kraemer is well-known in this area for his development of irrigation as well as the Castilian Bernardo Yorba. Yorba is credited with the first irrigation in the state and Kraemer is noted for his work here in the development of the Anaheim Union Water Company. Kraemer was director of the First National Bank of Anaheim, the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Fullerton, of which he was president for one and one-half years, and a member of the board at the Placentia National Bank. All three of these banks are now a part of ment of the new country. A third family in the area at that time, and a good friend of the Yorbas other families and Kraemers was Dr. John August Heyermann, the first registered doctor in Orange County. The doctor is the grandfather of Edward Backs, so Backs is a member of all three of the oldest families here.

Buffet style with everyone helping themselves and no run about writers! Now! What we want to know is—Have you that recipe for the fruit punch you served when you were married? It was simply delicious. I've never forgotten it." "I can get it for you. And what about silverware and dishes? Can I lend you anything?" "Oh, no, thank you, my dear." "It was Mrs. Foster speaking." "Whatever we need in that line we can borrow from the church house across the street." "So that's settled." Joan looked down at the notes she had made and drew a line through the memo that said Ask Betty about punch. "The next thing is—well—this is what mother and I thought we'd have for the rest of the refreshments. Tell us if it sounds all right." She read, "Sandwiches, three kinds. Nuta Mints. Ice cream and cake. Is that enough, do you think?" And she looked up believe the two Miss Bannochs would be very pleased to help us at that time. They'll be right here, which is an advantage. They can relieve Betty's mother and Mrs. Marpury." Joan nodded. "What about your baby that day, Betta? Will you bring her along?" Betty laughed. "Indeed, no! Not if I'm to be of any help to you. I'll leave her with Editha. She's a high school girl, very reliable and nice. She adores Beth and Beth adores her, so it's always a fine arrangement when I need anyone." "Good." Joan consulted her page of notes again. "Now let's see. What else did I want to talk about today?" "What about photographs? Are you going to have candida?" Yes, I've already seen a local man. He'll make them up into an album which makes a wonderful record. He'll be here an hour before the wedding and will go to the church with us and then come back here for the reception afterward. In other words he stays by sale or upon acceptable terms as above set forth. Said Executrix reserves the right to reject any and all bids. Dated: June 7, 1934. H.E.VEA EEEBE. Executrix of the Last Will and Testament of J.L.Boee, Deceased. Rutan, Tucker, Howell & Tucker 699 First National Bank Building Santa Ana, California Attorneys for Executrix (Pub: June 15, 1934-16-17-18-19-21, 1934) The church will sold about five hundred people." Mrs. Foster said, and now that we've finished coming our lists, we and we're just about that many. Of course, they won't all come. Generally those from out of town, we can probably figure on our hundred anyway." We're going to set up a long "Whatever we need in that line we can borrow from the church house across the street." "So that's settled." Joan looked down at the notes she had made and drew a line through the memo that said Ask Betty about punch. "The next thing is—well—this is what mother and I thought we'd have for the rest of the refreshments. Tell us if it sounds all right." She read, "Sandwiches, three kinds. Nuta. Mints. Ice cream and cake. Is that enough, do you think?" And she looked up anxiously. "I should think so." "It seems sort of skimpy somehow. But if we have plenty of everything—After all, it's not a supper. It's too early for that." "We might give them a choice of coffee or punch." Mrs. Foster suggested thoughtfully. "It would depend on the day, of course." "Oh, but in June!" Joan cried. "Do you think anyone will want coffee in June?" "Some people like coffee at any time, June or December," Mrs. Foster replied now. "But we can decide that later. Even at the last moment if we want to." Joan nodded and turned to Betty again. "Mother's going to have Mrs. Brown make the sandwiches and cake. She does it for a business. And she needs the money. Anyway, I don't want mother stewing around in the kitchen that day. Annie will ensple the aute, and the ice cream will come from Van Aradale's already cut into slices so it'll be easy to serve. Serve! Joan clapped one hand to her forehead. Goodness, that's something we never thought of, mums! Who's going to do the serving for us? There'll have to be one person to handle the ice cream and another for the cake and possibly someone at the punch bowl, won't there? How about asking two or three of your closest friends to do that?" Mrs. Foster looked inquiringly at Betty. "Perhaps your mother would help?" "Oh, she'd love to, I'm sure!" "I'll write her a note and you can take it back with you. That's one. Let me see now. Perhaps Diane's mother, Joan. Yes, I think I'll ask Diane's mother. And—I "Good." Joan consulted her page of notes again. "Now let's see. What else did I want to talk about today?" "What about photographs? Are you going to have candida?" "Yes, I've already seen a local man. He'll make them up into an album which makes a wonderful record. He'll be here an hour before the wedding and will go to the church with us and then come back here for the reception afterward. In other words, he stays by us right up to the end. Wait, now flowers. Yes, flowers for the table here at the reception. Flowers for the church. And flowers for all of us in the bridal party. Mother!" Her voice held sudden dismay. "That's going to be terrific! Do you have to pay for all the flowers too? After all, this is Todd's wedding as well as mine! How come the bride has to foot the bill for every darn thing? No fair!" Her mother laughed and laughed into the vernacular of the youngar generation. "Relax," she said. "Todd pays for the flowers—for the bridal party, at least." "He does? Are you sure?" "Perfectly sure. It's up to you to decorate the church as simply or as elegantly as you wish. And, of course, you provide flowers for the reception. And—I forgot to mention this yesterday when we were talking, Joan, but you pay for the white carpet down the aisle, too." "Hey. One more thing." "Yes, and here's another. The ribbons used to mark off the family paws. And the awning outside—" But Joan had clapped her hands to her ears. Now she broke in firmly. "Say no more. There'll be no awning. I'll just take a chance on the weather. We've got to draw the line somewhere, mums! And about the white carpeting. Do you think that's really necessary?" "I think we'd better save it." You'll have a train, you know. And after all, it's a minor item. Only about ten dollars, I think." "Who provides it?" "The florist. That—and the pew ribbons. Speaking of flowers reminded me of these things." (To Be Continued)
