Extending the City Limits EDITOR GAZETTE:—Shall the city limits be expanded? When this proposition was first broached I thought, as did many others, that it would be impossible as there seemed to be almost insurmountable difficulties in the way. Every one supposed that it would greatly increase taxes in the territory to be taken in, and this matter of increased taxation has been held up as a frightful bugaboo. On close examination it will be found that this bugaboo is nothing but a great scarecrow. In reality, under the rates and valuations of the current year the taxes for all the territory that would be taken in, that is now included in the Anaheim school district, would have been less if it had been in the city limits. This is due to the fact that new territory cannot be taxed for bonds already voted, so it would have none of the city bond tax to pay. Then inside of incorporated cities the 40 cent road tax and $2 road poll tax are omitted. In lieu of these Anaheim levied a 35 cent general tax and 7 cent library tax, making 42 cents tax that new territory would be held for, inside the city is $2.82, outside $2.80; and then there is the $2 road tax outside. In my own case my taxes would have been $1.80 less inside the city limits. For the territory not in the Anaheim school district there would be a difference in the school tax, due to the high to be gained by enlarging. First, those who desire electric lights, as the city extend the use as soon as in; the rate is now reasonable light should be good. Second, those who wish could get it, as already piped the water to the extent of the city at great expense rangement satisfactory to and consumer.

The coming engagement of "As Told in the Hill" which is at the Anaheim theatre Friday, December 14th, will be one of the strongest attractions of the present theatrical season. The play is a strongly written melodrama of western life that abounds in thrilling situations and exciting climaxes during the action of which a goodly number of up-to-date specialties are introduced. The comedy element has been in no way neglected and in contrast with many of the socalled melodramas written in recent years, there are no features that are in any way objectionable.
