GRAND JURY FILES REPORT County Officials Are Commended for Efficiency The county grand jury submitted its report on Thursday afternoon. The county officials are commended for the manner in which their accounts and books are kept. The most interesting recommendation of the grand jury is that the supervisors call a bond election for $50,000, of which not over $30,000 shall go for a poor farm and $20,000 for a county hospital. The present system of caring for indigents cost $31,149.49 in 1911. The grand jury says a poor farm and county hospital would save the county a good many thousands of dollars. The grand jury protests against being known as a "joke." It states that its work is done in earnest for the people, and great good would follow if officials paid more attention to grand jury reports. The practice of having some other physician than the county physician do the surgical work for the county is condemned. Supervisors are urged to keep hedges at corners well trimmed, and Supervisor Struck is urged to remove the hedge at the southwest corner of Main and Chapman streets. Among the recommendations are: That the county buy drugs by bids, that the heating system of the court house be changed to be heated in sections, that the attention of immigration officers be called to the influx of indigent and criminal Mexicans, that the horticultural commissioner keep a set of books that far more out of his books. To give the taxpayers a little idea of what per cent of their total tax burden the above is, we give the following figures, the total tax rate for above fiscal year was $1.20 on the $100. To the state was ...$0.35 To the school was ...$22 For general county purposes...$0.63 being 63c on the $100 for all purposes outside of state and school. For indigenous and hospital expenses a little more than 1-5 of the 63 cents, therefore 1-5 of all taxes collected outside of school, it takes to pay the above three items. The grand jury, after studying the above expense bill have concluded to recommend to the supervisors that they call a bond election for $50,000 for the purchase of a county farm and to improve said farm, and build a county hospital, in amounts as follows: Not more than $30,000 for the purpose of buying a farm, not more than $20,000 to improve the farm and build a hospital, as we are satisfied that the county will save a good many thousand dollars by owning a farm and hospital, and we unanimously urge the voters of Orange county to see that the above bond be carried, if submitted to you at an election. We also recommend and urge the supervisors to trim or improve all trees or hedges in the roads which obstruct the view and thereby endangers travel, as the hedge at the intersection of Main and Chapman Sts. This hedge, the county surveyor informs us is in the road and we far more out of his books. The other public fund holding receipt for the same.

Among the recommendations are: That the county buy drugs by bids, that the heating system of the court house be changed to be heated in sections, that the attention of immigration officers be called to the influx of indigent and criminal Mexicans, that the horticultural commissioner keep a set of books, that certain roads be improved, that the Yorba bridge and a bridge near the Hewes ranch, a bridge near Anaheim in section 36, a bridge below Arch Beach and one between El Toro and San Juan Capistrano be repaired. The business methods of boards of education over the county are condemned as wasteful and neglectful. The attention of the grand jury was called to the fact that at Orange there were instances where articles were bought from the city officials. This matter was turned over to the district attorney. Most of the cities were commended. Santa Ana was condemned. There was nothing to show that the books of the clerk and treasurer have been balanced in years. The trustees are urged to look with more care to the clerical part of the city's interest. The supervisors are commended for taking action to better conditions at the jail. School houses in incorporated cities generally are in good condition. On the grand jury were F. A. Holbrook, foreman; E. A. Stockslager, secretary; C. F. Heil, A. K. Cravath, C. S. Hubbard, George Clausen and Mit Phillips of Santa Ana; W. S. Hill of Garden Grove, Willard Smith, E. H. Dierker, G. A. Shoemaker, W. Kenyon, J. V. Sutton and B. S. Barton of Orange; M. S. Davis of El Modena; R. J. Webster of Delhi; J. A. Phinney and A. L. Cotant of Tustin. The grand jury was sworn in on December 4th. The report continues: In looking over the recommendations of some of the past grand juries we find where they have called the attention of certain officials to certain improvements badly needed even from a humane standpoint, and yet there has been no attention paid to it at all, and unless there is a way found to enforce the urgent recommendation of the grand jury, its efforts are of no avail. We have frequently heard in our trips over the We also recommend and urge the supervisors to trim or improve all trees or hedges in the roads which obstruct the view and thereby endangers travel, as the hedge at the intersection of Main and Chapman Sts. This hedge, the county surveyor informs us, is in the road, and we very strongly urge the supervisor of that district to trim or remove it at once. In this age of fast travel, the community which takes the best care of its roads and dangerous places attracts the best class of citizens. We also recommend that the county physician be required, as part of his duties, to act as one of the insane commissioners in all cases, also to hold all autopsies free to the county. Also that the county physician, as part of his duty, should be required to do the county's surgical operations or have it done and not as it is now—the county paying another surgeon to do the work. We recommend that this practice be stopped, and he be required to do the work. We also recommend and urge in the strongest terms possible that the supervisors provide rock, and compel the vagrants to build roads, and thereby earn their keep, so as not to keep and house them free, as this matter is now conducted. We just invite these gentry to crowd our jail to overflowing, as we have on hand now in the jail from 50 to 75 all the time. By arranging so as to have them build roads they can be made a source of profit instead of a heavy expense. We recommend and urge the supervisors to change the method of buying medicine for the indigent. The way it has been done heretofore, the county physician could throw nearly all of the drug business to one drug store, no matter if he was high or low in price. Therefore we strongly urge that a system, hereafter, be adopted so that the lowest bidder gets the trade, and thereby stop this abuse. We also urge that the county physician get the medicines, otherwise than by the expensive way of a prescription for each individual patient. We condemn the practice. We also recommend that the system of heating the courthouse be so changed that it can be heated in sections. As it is now done it must that the county will save a good many thousand dollars by owning a farm and hospital, and we unanimously urge the voters of Orange county to see that the above bond be carried, if submitted to you at an election.

We have frequently heard in our trips over the county, also from some officers that the grand jury is a joke, therefore, when your attention is called to the neglect or inefficiency of an official or the waste or destruction of county property, some official notice should be taken of it. While we realize our inability to enforce such changes as we would advise to improve the public service, yet, if our public officials would carefully read this report and give it due consideration, we believe quite a marked improvement would be the result in many ways, generally speaking, the people of Orange county have a very capable corps of officials, and we cannot too strongly express our appreciation when we find an official faithfully performing his duties for the people. The officials have all been courteous and offered all possible assistance. One of the main questions considered was the indigent hospital and county physician expense bill to the county. We found by looking over the warrants that for the fiscal year 1910-1911 that there had been paid out on above first two items the sum of $29,799.49; county physician in addition, $1350. Total for the above three items, $31,149.49. For drugs alone, $1589.35; for hospital fees the sum of $6670.19.

The other officials accounted for all public funds received by them by holding receipts from the treasurer for the same. We cannot too strongly urge the city trustees of Fullerton to look after the financial interests of the city in a more business like manner. The books of the marshal showed that he had paid to the treasurer $36.75 more than he had collected. We examined all the books of the clerk, treasurer, recorder, marshal, and librarian of Anaheim, and found the books balanced on the first day of each month. The balances check with each other's books, showing a balance of cash on hand Dec. 13, 1911, of $81,215.47, less outstanding warrants of $54.50. We wish to compliment the officials there for the efficient manner in which they keep track of the city's financial affairs, and their system is the very best. We examined and checked up all the bonds and records of bonds sold since the formation of Orange county, and in fact some before, and we found many necessary entries had been omitted and some incorrect entries were made, and after an unlimited number of corrections and entries made by the order of our committee the bond records are right on the county records for the first time since this county has been a county, while the cash on hand is correct from the fact that it agrees with the amount called for by the auditor's books. On Dec. 6, 1911, we counted the funds and found in the county treasurer's hands $230,470.94. The records are poorly and inaccurately kept. The warrant register is not kept balanced at all. We recommend and urge that the records of this office be not made up from loose leaf aged 9 years. Jesus and the man at the pool in the City of Jerusalem. There was a pool of water which was called the Pool of Bethesda. There was something strange about this water; it bubbles like boiling water. When it does this an angel has touched it. Who steps into it first is made well. There was an ill man who tried to get into the water after the angel had troubled the water. Someone else always stepped in before he did for there was no one to help him. One day Jesus came by the pool. He saw the man that has been sick for 38 years. Jesus said: Would you like to be made well again? The man must not thought it was Jesus and said therefore I have no one to help me into the pool. Jesus said, Rise up and take thy bed and walk. So the man took up his bed and walked away. Hubert Janss. NATIONAL ORANGE SHOW San Bernardino Will Have Second Annual Exhibit The most beautiful and magnificent exposition of the citrus fruit industry ever seen in America will be the second National Orange Show, to be held in San Bernardino on Feb. 19 to 24. It is not a local enterprise, but is intended to upbuild and benefit the citrus fruit interests in every part of the state. Not only will there be a marvelous display of all kinds of citrus fruits, but an equally large exhibit space will be devoted to the exhibition of appliances used in the citrus industry, such as box making machines, irrigation devices, clippers, ladders, picking sacks, and a thousand and one other devices. Every section of California will be sumption issued by the The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The statement is based largely on reports received from anti-tuberculosis agencies in all parts of the United States. Where actual reports were not available, the figures were necessarily estimated. By far the largest item of expense was that for treatment in sanatoria and hospitals, and for the erection of institutions of this kind over $11,800,000 being spent for this purpose alone. Dispensaries for the examination and treatment of tuberculosis spent $850,000, and association and committees in their educational campaign against tuberculosis spent $500,000. The remaining $1,300,000 expended for treatment in open air schools, prisons, and hospitals for those insane, and also for the work of the state and local boards of health against tuberculosis. Compared with the expenditures of 1910, those of the past year are practically the same in the aggregate, but they are almost double those of 1909. The National Association points out however what it considers more significant than the aggregate expenditures, namely, that the percentage of money spent from public funds is greater in 1911 than ever before, being 66.2 per cent of the total. In 1909 only 53.5 per cent of the total expenditures was from public funds and in 1910 it had increased to 63.6 per cent. In 1911, over $9,000,000 of the $14,500,000 spent was from federal, state, municipal, or county funds. Since the chief work of the anti-tuberculosis associations is to urge the public authorities to provide for tuberculosis patients, and thus to assume the responsibility for stamping out this disease, the increased percentage of public money is regarded as a very favorable sign of progress. the county records for the first time since this county has been a county, while the cash on hand is correct from the fact that it agrees with the amount called for by the auditor's books. On Dec. 6, 1911, we counted the funds and found in the county treasurer's hands $230,470.94. The records are poorly and inaccurately kept. The warrant register is not kept balanced at all. We recommend and urge that the records of this office be not made up from loose leaf accounts, but be entered in the permanent records, and they be kept balanced so as to prove their correctness. A poll tax book should be kept as required by law, and all records of transfers of funds should also show from what funds drawn and to which funds paid. The records should show what district a warrant is chargeable to, and the date of payment. We strongly condemn this loose way of trying to keep track of people's finances. STORIES OF OUR SAVIOUR Sunday-School Boys Write Letters Concerning His Deeds The two following letters written by boys of the Methodist Sunday school of this city will be found to be worthy of perusal: A letter about Sunday school lesson from primary class by Kenneth F. Goodale, age 9 years: Found St. John, 5-1-14. A long time ago in the City of Jerusalem there was a spring called the pool of Bethesda. There was something strange about the water in the pool. If anybody was sick they stepped into it. When it was moving they were made well. Around the sides of the pool were five porches. On these porches many sick people were always seen. Some were lame, blind and some of them were helpless and could not walk. One day when Jesus was at Jerusalem he went to the pool. This was after He was baptized and for a long time He had been doing good in the world. It was to show and tell how great is the love of God. And how great is his power among the sick. There was one who had been sick for thirty-eight years; this man was helpless. Every time the water moved there was no one to help him into it. As Jesus walked the porches He saw the people that had been sick for a long time. When He saw this man that was helpless He asked 24. It is not a local enterprise, but is intended to upbuild and benefit the citrus fruit interests in every part of the state. Not only will there be a marvelous display of all kinds of citrus fruits, but an equally large exhibit space will be devoted to the exhibition of appliances used in the citrus industry, such as box making machines, irrigation devices, clippers, ladders, picking sacks, and a thousand and one other devices. Every section of California will be represented in fruit exhibits, form Butte county on the north to the Mexican line on the south. Arizona will also be on hand, while exhibits have also been assured from Louisiana and Florida. The show will be national in scope as well as name. The space devoted to exhibits is five times that used in last year's show and practically every foot is already reserved. For the week of the National Orange Show the Gate City will be in holiday attire and will be host to tens of thousands of Californians and other thousands of the eastern tourists spending the winter beneath the balmy skies of sunny Southern California. NEW VOTERS To those who will register this year for the first time, and are more or less unfamiliar with the law in respect to registration, a word may not be amiss. First: In order to have a voice in the selection of candidates for any party you must express a party preference in registering, and if you do not do so you cannot vote for any candidate in a primary election. Second: In voting at a primary election, you can vote only for those candidates of the party of which you declare your preference when registering. This year the voters will have an opportunity to name candidates for congress, state senator and assemblyman, and to express a preference for candidate for president, at the primary election to be held in this State. The primary election is, in fact, the most important, for this is the only election at which the voters have an opportunity to express a preference for party candidates. To make your vote and influence most effective is it not best to ally yourself with the majority party in choosing candidates, thus nominating desirable candidates in the party that will likely elect them at the general expenditures was from public funds and in 1910 it had increased to 63.6 per cent. In 1911, over $9,000,000 of the $14,500,000 spent was from federal, state, municipal, or county funds. Since the chief work of the anti-tuberculosis associations is to urge the public authorities to provide for tuberculosis patients, and thus to assume the responsibility for stamping out this disease, the increased percentage of public money is regarded as a very favorable sign of progress. Appropriations of over $10,000,000 for tuberculosis work in 1912 have already been made by state legislatures and municipal and county bodies. Of this sum about $4,700,000 is from state appropriations, and about $5,700,000 for county and municipal purposes. In addition to these sums, the federal government spends about $1,000,000 every year, supporting its several special tuberculosis sanatoria. New York state, which has led the country in its anti-tuberculosis expenditures for the past two years, still maintains its lead, with a total of $3,550,000 spent. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts are the second and third states, as they were in 1910. Louis—They tell me she will get a million the day she marries Freddie. Louise—Well, it's worth it.

And how great is his power among the sick. There was one who had been sick for thirty-eight years; this man was helpless. Every time the water moved there was no one to help him into it. As Jesus walked the porches He saw the people that had been sick for a long time. When He saw this man that was helpless He asked him if he wanted to be made whole. And the man said, "I have no one to put me into the water, when it is troubled some one else steps in before me." Jesus says, rise, take up thy bed and walk. And he was made well that very minute. Then the Jesus asked him who made him well. The man answered: I do not know who made me well, for he did not know Jesus. Afterward Jesus found this man in the temple and said to him "You are made well; go and sin no more." Lest a worse thing come unto thee. After Jesus said this the man knew it was Jesus that had made him well and told the Jesus so. They were angry with Jesus because it was the Sabbath day when He healed this man; but Jesus answered: My Father has worked before, and now I work. This made the Jesus angrier than ever because He had not only broken the Sabbath but He said also that God was His father. Making himself equal with God. They did not believe that He was the Son of God. Kenneth F. Goodale. Letter No. Two, by Hubert Janss; for candidate for president, at the primary election to be held in this State. The primary election is, in fact, the most important, for this is the only election at which the voters have an opportunity to express a preference for party candidates. To make your vote and influence most effective is it not best to ally yourself with the majority party in choosing candidates, thus nominating desirable candidates in the party that will likely elect them at the general election following? If you believe in the principles of ex-President Roosevelt, Senator Robert M. LaFollette and Governor Hiram Johnson, in the moral reforms they have inaugurated and thus far carried forward, the proper control and regulation of railroads and other corporations, conservation of our natural resources, enforcement of our laws, and government by the people, then cannot your influence best be exerted by registering as a republican and helping to select proper candidates for that party? We believe you can because the republican party is the dominant party in the county and State and will doubtless elect the officers to be voted for this coming year.
