(Bulletin Photo) PAY ANAHEIM TAXES, TOO Buena Park Library Board Refuses Petition to End Double Taxation BUENA PARK — A petition which would take away an area of the Buena Park Library District and thus prevent double taxation for some residents of Anaheim, was turned down by the Buena Park Library District Board, yesterday. The petitioners who have been plagued with a double assessment, one for the Buena Park Library District, the other for the City of Anaheim, desire to withdraw from their present position in a library district formed back in 1919. When the City of Anaheim annexed the area east of Dale Ave., in which the petitioners live, the residents didn't know, or were not informed of the tax situation when they bought their property. As a result, they now wish to pull out of the Buena Park Library District, the facilities of which they now use, in favor of the Anaheim City Library. The Buena Park district board is not in favor of letting go an area which has been a part of the district since its inception under the State of California Education Division. The Buena Park Library is run under state and county auspices and has operated this way for forty years. Recently, because of the expansion of the Buena Park and Centralia School Districts, some 11 branch libraries are in operation now at elementary schools throughout the city. Some of the children in the Centralia District live in Anaheim, but use library books furnished by the Buena Park Library District. The district facilities operate on a county book sharing basis, using books from other branch libraries. In addition, Sunday, the new Buena Park District Bookmobile will arrive from the east and go into operation immediately, according to library officials. The expansion of the Buena Park District's main library has not come in the form of building. Rather, the number of books has been increasing right along to keep up with the demand of the public which has been adding to the number of card holders in the district by some 350 to 700 new registrants monthly in the past few years. The demand for reading material has far outreached the present facilities which house the library. All this has come about in addition to the branch libraries which have come into existence with the sudden expansion of the elementary and high school districts in Buena Park. As a result, the building funds have been depleted to the point that an increase of tax funds and revenue must be anticipated if the library district is to function and keep up with the sudden change of pace the population jump has taken in Buena Park. For this reason, the district board does not wish to relinquish any area within their bounds in order to relieve a city tax put on only some two years ago, when Anaheim annexed a portion of land east of Dale Ave., adjacent to Buena Park. The board, it is pointed out, is elected by and from persons living within the district. The board is therefore, automatic and serves only one purpose — that of running the library district. It is this board that provides books of all times reported to Police Log Anaheim Wednesday 8:30 a.m. Jerry Okazaki, 2626 W.

Placentia Building Takes Increase Over February PLACENTIA — Construction values jumped to $81,540 last month with 11 permits being issued in Placentia Building Takes Increase Over February PLACENTIA — Construction values jumped to $61,510 last month with 11 permits being issued in Placentia, it was revealed today. Last February the total was only $13,822 for four permits, and in January, it was $12,220 for three permits. For this reason, the district board does not wish to relinquish any area within their bounds in order to relieve a city tax put on only some two years ago, when Anaheim annexed a portion of land east of Dale Ave., adjacent to Buena Park. The board, it is pointed out, is elected by and from persons living within the district. The board is therefore, autocratic and serves only one purpose — that of running the library district. It is this board that provides books of all types except textbooks to the elementary districts of Buena Park and will supervise the operation of the new bookmobile. Supervisors Support Boy's Ranch Program By Orange County News Service County supervisors are on record in support of legislation which will allow the county its Joplin Boys' Ranch building program as now operated. Boys at the juvenile camp are doing all the building of facilities as part of their work program. Supervisors took their action following a report by Probation Officer David R. McMillan, who said the facility was receiving a state subsidy and might be subject to regulations that require the letting of bids for construction projects. The State Attorney General's Office has reportedly ruled that the building must be let out on bids while the Orange County Council's Office has indicated such action is not necessary. McMillan explained that Assemblyman Bruce Summers has said he will carry the ball on a bill which will permit the county to continue on its current program. Needed was county support of the measure, he said. Supervisor Cy Featherly said he would attempt to get the subject on the agenda of a meeting of the State Association of Supervisors next month. The probation officer said by building their own facilities the youths were learning skills and receiving work experience which will help them in the future. The successful plan is used at many other youth camps in other counties as well. This phase of the program at the camp was described as an essential part of the activity there. Honor Farm Site Conti Problem for County Problem Arises of Location During Discussion, No Solution Reached SANTA ANA (OCNS) — The Honor Farm question was in the air here yesterday as Orange County Supervisors again discussed the problem of sites. Under review by the group was a site in the Irvine Park area that had reportedly been abandoned and a possible 18-acre site near the Orange County General Hospital. The board finally voted to table any action until more study had been given the matter. A committee meeting at a later date was indicated by the group. Supervisors have been attempting to obtain land for the farm for many years but every time opposition by property owners has stymied the deal. A probable site has been considered in the Irvine Park area but no action was taken because of opposition. Supervisors, in the meantime, have approved plans for 400-limite auxiliary jail on property at the county hospital. In yesterday's discussion, Supervisor C. M. Featherly attempted to get support of a motion for the immediate establishment of the farm. He didn't get off the ground. Supervisor William Hirstein said he felt the auxiliary jail would provide more than enough room for prisoners and he saw no reason for the farm. He was in favor of Stanton Chief Asks State Aid at Corner By Orange County News Service Three traffic accidents have occurred at the same intersection in the last few weeks claiming three lives, seriously injuring three more. The cause in all three accidents was the same. Drivers were attempting to make a left turn at Garden Grove and Highway 39 (Stanton) at the city limits of Stanton. Chief Edwin Patrick of Stanton has petitioned the State Highway Department for a special left-turn signal. No reply has been received from the state as yet. The first accident took three lives, bringing death to a Murrietta Hot Springs couple and a Santa Ana woman, while the second seriously injured three other local residents. Third of the series occurred this week but was listed as "fender" HOME SHOW ROYALTY — Everybody bussing the new queen of the Orange are (from left) Margery Fischer, Co Walt, Brea, last year's queen; Cindy queen; and Maureen McDermott, Plain will reign over the fifth annual edifice runs through Sunday night at Orange Police Log Anaheim Jerry Okazaki, 2626 Ave., reports theft nursery.

More Funds Given To Anaheim Bike Safety Program Supervisor William Hirstein said he felt the auxiliary jail would provide more than enough room for prisoners and he saw no reason for the farm. He was in favor of dropping all claims on the Irvine Park site since there was no longer any need for it. Featherly, on the other hand, sought the board's opinion on the purposed 18-acre site near the hospital. Supervisor Claire Nelson remarked that he felt none of the sites should be dropped until the problem had been resolved. Chairman of the Board Willis Warner explained that the group was obligated to go ahead with the farm since voters had approved a bond issue for its construction. It had been planned to use the farm primarily as a place for alcohols, he explained. Unable to reach a decision, the subject was dropped and scheduled for later discussion at a committee gathering. Theft of Construction Tools Told to Police A case of grand theft was reported by Steve J. Pechac, 173 N. Flower St., Orange, a foreman for the Robert-H. Grant Development Co. Pechac told Anaheim police that $380 worth of tools had been stolen from the construction site at 3100 W. Ball Rd. between March 3 and 25, apparently during the daylight hours. Taken were; an $25 Skill Saw valued at $150 and believed taken March 3; a 77 Skill Saw valued at $135 and believed taken March 25, and a one-half-inch Skill Drill said to be worth $75. Membership in Anaheim Coordinating Council Still Open to Organizations The membership roll of the Anaheim Area Coordinating Council has not been closed. Every service organization in the area is invited to take part in the coordinating body toward the promotion of city-wide cooperation. Organizations are invited to attend the general meetings, to impart and gather information, whether or not they have paid the membership dues used to defray the expense of printing and mailing numerous notices required in the actions of such a group. In pointing out the values of membership, Mrs. Foster M. Warick, vice-president and membership chairman, credits the communication process as being the most valuable asset offered. "It is a two-way system," she said. "A representative to the Coordinating Council may report a project that is to be undertaken by his organization. In doing this he may learn that another organization has already begun work on the same project. Another representative, whose organization may be considering a similar project, can return to his group with this information and as a result that group might center its energy on a different project. It might even join forces with the original group toward greater achievement." An organization's representative will reign over the fifth annual edition runs through Sunday night at Orange More Funds Given To Anaheim Bike Safety Program The list of contributors toward the Anaheim Bicycle Safety Program continues to grow. Contributions in cash ranging from $5 to $30 have continued to pour into the Program account, with each successive gift adding to the deep appreciation of committee members. Monies received will be used to offset the cost of printing teachers' guides, pupils' study booklets, and other items necessary to the success of the program. To date, contributions have been received from Abraham Lincoln PTA, Thomas A. Edison PTA, Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce, Anaheim Lions Club, Dr. Peter Marshall PTA, Theodore Roosevelt PTA, Security First National Bank, Police Officers Wives of Anaheim, Thomas Jefferson PTA, Horace Mann PTA, Zion Lutheran PTA, Anaheim PTA Council, Junior Ebell Club, St. Anthony's of Claret Women's Council, Adelaide Price PTA, George Washington PTA, Our Lady of the Rosary Institute, Patrick Henry PTA, James Madison PTA, Women's Auxiliary, Orange County Optimistic Society, John Marshall PTA, Anaheim Girl Scout Council, Kappa Phi Sigma, Alpha Iota Chapter, Anaheim Optimist Breakfast Club, Melbourne A. Gauer PTA, Anaheim Lions Breakfast Club, Eta Epsilon Chapter, Anaheim Optimist Club and Sunkist PTA. Coordinating Council may report a project that is to be undertaken by his organization. In doing this he may learn that another organization has already begun work on the same project. Another representative, whose organization may be considering a similar project, can return to his group with this information and as a result that group might center its energy on a different project. It might even join forces with the original group toward greater achievement." An organization's representative might appeal to the group for assistance from another organization on some project, too great an undertaking for his own, unaided. Or he might publicize an event to which his group wishes to attract attention. "One of the most important contributions toward greater understanding has been the representatives' reports explaining the philosophies supported by many organizations. It is heart-warming to learn of the numerous contributions Anaheim's service organizations have made and are continuously making toward the welfare of the community," said Mrs. Warwick. "Of course, the representative to the Council will be able to return to his organization with a great deal of information gathered during attendance at a general meeting. Such communication will be of assistance in planning future action." Individual membership is extended to any person interested in the welfare of Anaheim. The coordinating council realizes the value of the individual in that ideas are conceived within the mind of one person. It is the individual who goes a need or discovers a problem. In the coordinating council he will find a group receptive to his ideas pertaining to the welfare of the whole community." Continues to Pose County Supervisors Queen Chosen For Orange Co.
