TEXT OF HIGHWAY COMMISSION'S REPORT ASK COUNTY BOND ISSUE FOR $1,270,000 FOR 107 MILES OF ROADWAY STATE WILL BUILD MAIN HIGHWAY AT COST EXCEEDING $400,000.00 Good roads enthusiasts all over the county are well pleased with the filing of the report and recommendations of the County Highway Commission. They are anxious to have the date of election set so that they can boost with a definite date in mind. That the $1,270,000 asked by the commission is a reasonable amount is shown by the fact that at the last meeting of Associated Chambers of Commerce a resolution was passed asking for $1,-750,000. The full text of the commission's report as filed follows: Santa Ana, Aug. 12, 1912. The Honorable Board of Supervisors, Orange County, California. Gentlemen:—Your Highway Commission, appointed by authority of the Good Roads Law, statutes of 1907, and as amended by acts of 1909, in compliance with the terms of that law, submits to your honorable body the following report as to highways which should be improved, the character of said improvements, and the estimated total cost thereof, in accordance with sections 4 and 6 of the Good Roads Law. A report and recommendation were made to your honorable body on June west along Center street four (4) miles to the Los Angeles county line, and the terminus of a road of the Los Angeles county highway system, known as the Downey, Norwalk and Artesia road. Anaheim - Olive Road — Length 3.37 miles. Beginning at Center street and the easterly city limits of Anaheim; thence by the main traveled road to a connection with Riverside road, at Olive. Olinda Road—Length 7.34 miles. Beginning at a point on the Anaheim-Olive road known as the easterly end of Center street; thence north and northeasterly to Placentia avenue; thence along Placentia avenue to San Bernardino road; thence easterly to a road running northerly to Olinda; thence along said road to Olinda. Garden Grove Road—Length 7.81 miles. Beginning at Fifth street and westerly city limits of Santa Ana; thence westerly to the end of Fifth street; thence one and three-quarters (1½) miles north; thence west to the main north and south street in Garden Grove; thence north four (4) miles to Anaheim-Stanton road. Huntington Beach Road — Length 7.57 miles. Beginning at the present westerly end of Fifth street, Santa Ana; thence south one-quarter (¼) mile to First street; thence west along First street three (3) miles to the southwest corner of section 12, township 5 south, range 11 west, S.B.M.; thence south along the county road four (4) miles; thence by Seventeenth street, southwesterly, to the northerly city limits of Huntington Beach. Bay City Road—Length 9.12 miles. Beginning at the southwest corner of section 12, township 5 south, range 11 west, S.B.M.; thence north one mile to what is known as the Westminster road; thence along this road west and southwesterly, by Westminster and Bay City, to the Los Angeles county line, and the terminus of a road of the Los Angeles county highway system, known as the Naples road. Alamitos Road—Length 4.19 miles under which we are work of highways accessible every part of the system will apply proportion to the route. In this large pose of our proposed ways and its relative state in general, it the demands of meritorious, must selves of those of the county itself must owe claims of its neighbor state.

There have b with this type of other and more e pavements are being an asphalt macad State Highway Co to build sections o concrete base and mission, appointed by authority of the Good Roads Law, statutes of 1907, and as amended by acts of 1909, in compliance with the terms of that law, submits to your honorable body the following report as to highways which should be improved, the character of said improvements, and the estimated total cost thereof, in accordance with sections 4 and 6 of the Good Roads law. A report and recommendation were made to your honorable body on June 14, 1911. This report was returned to us shortly thereafter, when this commission postponed further action until the selection of a state highway through the county had been made. Your commission has used every effort to expedite the selection of a route, and has co-operated with the State Highway Commission to that end as far as was possible and proper. So soon as we felt justified in acting, we resumed our work, and have excluded those roads to be built by the state, and have added other roads to bring the amount of the bond issue therefor to the sum which, in our opinion, the county should at the present time, expend for good roads. In justification of our action in suspending work, pending the selection of a state highway, through our county, we venture to make a statement of facts which may not be generally known; viz.: That the principal indebtedness created by the state bond issue for good roads must be met by general assessment; that each county shall pay the interest on that portion of the bond issue expended on state roads, within its limits, and that the state is authorized to take over any county good road and make the same part of its system without compensation therefor. Therefore, had our county built the road selected as a state highway, it would have expended therefor in excess of four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000.00), and this principal expenditure would have been a clear loss.

General Plan of Highways Section 3 of the Good Roads Law defines main highways, and these are the only roads which may, properly, be improved under the act of which section 3 is a part. Even under the limitations of this definition there are many roads, not included, which are main highways. It remained to select from a number of main highways, those of the most importance, in that they served the greatest number of people, at the same time bearing in mind future development of our county roads. When each county shall have availed itself of the provisions of the law under which we are working, a network of highways will make easily accessible every part of the state, and the system will approach the ideal in proportion to the directness of each route. In this larger view of the purpose of our proposed system of highways and its relation to those of the state in general, it is apparent that the demands of localities, however meritorious, must subordinate themselves of those of the county, and the county itself must defer to the greater claims of its neighbors and of the state. Alignment and Grades Small changes can be made in Brea Canyon road and Riverside road as traveled, which will better the alignment and reduce costs of construction, and your commission is assured that in making such changes as are expedient, the property owners affected will cheerfully co-operate. Such changes as are desirable in other roads of the proposed system are those which will eliminate railway crossings and render safer the sharp turns. It is probable that there will be no grades exceeding 6 feet of rise in 100 feet of distance, and this will permit of the hauling of maximum loads. Character of Improvements Section 10 of the Good Roads Law, under which we are working, directs that all improvements constructed under the act, shall be of durable and lasting character. We have investigated various methods of road construction, and are of the opinion that some form of macadam pavement is best adapted to our use. Oil macadam pavement has been most widely used in Southern California and has been generally satisfactory. There have been some failures with this type of road, however, and other and more expensive types of pavements are being tested, notably an asphalt macadam, and now the State Highway Commission proposes to build sections of its roads with a concrete base and a wearing surface to your honorable body that you plan to provide money to increase the width of the pavement to twenty feet as in our earlier plans. We have varied the depth of stone pavement according to the nature of earth foundations and the anticipated traffic upon the roads. All the roads of the system, above outlined, are intended to be paved as generally described, except that part of Riverside road from Olive to the county line. This road will not have much travel for some years, and it is believed that the expenditure of a large sum for macadam paving will not now be justified. It is proposed to surface the road where necessary with the materials available along the line of the road. Where bridges have been found necessary, it is planned to make them of steel or concrete. Culverts have been designed of concrete or of reinforced concrete pipe, or corrugated iron pipe. The idea has been to make the waterway openings of as permanent character as possible, the only exception to this rule being bridges across overflow channels. These have been designed with concrete foundations and wooden superstructures, it being our opinion that before these structures are worn out, river improvements will be carried out which will render bridges unnecessary at these points. No bridge has been allowed for at the Anaheim-Olive road crossing of the Santa Ana river, as it is necessary first, to determine upon a channel location at this point, and do work to hold the stream within the determined bounds, which work will be extensive and costly, and in our opinion, more properly a part of a river improvement project. The estimated cost of improving the system of roads outlined above, with the character of improvements described, is $1,270,000, and we respectfully request that you call an election as provided by law, at which election shall be submitted the question of the issuance of bonds of the Oil macadam pavement has been most widely used in Southern California and has been generally satisfactory. There have been some failures with this type of road, however, and other and more expensive types of pavements are being tested, notably an asphalt macadam, and now the State Highway Commission proposes to build sections of its roads with a concrete base and a wearing surface of asphalt macadam. By oil macadam is meant a pavement of broken stone of graduated sizes, placed in two or more layers, thoroughly compacted with heavy road rollers and having the upper two (2) inches filled with a petroleum free from injurious substances, and containing eighty (80) per cent or more of asphalt, which oil may be either a natural product, or refined to remove the more volatile oils. This asphaltic oil serves as a cement holding the broken stone in place. In the best examples of this type of pavements, the surface much resembles that of an asphalt pavement. Asphalt macadam is similar to the oil macadam, except in the character of the cementing material, and the manner of incorporating it in the wearing surface of the pavement. Asphalt is a product of the same petroleum refined to a degree where it is a solid at ordinary temperature. Ordinarily the stone and asphalt are heated and mixed in much the same way that concrete is made, and the mixture, while hot, is spread and rolled till smooth. The pavement which the State Highway Commission proposes to test has a base of gravel or broken stone concrete five (5) inches thick, which is protected by a thin wearing course of asphalt concrete mixed and applied as for the asphalt concrete pavement above described. On account of the great activity in road-building everywhere, and the interest manifested, it is certain that improvement in methods will be rapid, and we recommend that your highway commission be given all the latitude consistent with the law, in the selection of suitable pavements for the proposed system of good roads. The minimum width of roadway will be twenty-four (24) feet; this will be in cuts and fills. Where this width can be increased without materially adding to the cost, as where grading is light, it will be done. There is no immediate necessity for doing so, however, as the traveled roadway on construction, and are of the opinion that some form of macadam pavement is best adapted to our use. The estimated cost of improving the system of roads outlined above, with the character of improvements described, is $1,270,000, and we respectfully request that you call an election as provided by law, at which election shall be submitted the question of the issuance of bonds of the county, to provide for the construction of the above outlined system of highways, in the amount of one million two hundred and seventy thousand ($1,270,000.00) dollars.

SPECIAL SCHOOL TAXES Anaheim Grammar and High School Districts Ask For $26,500 The trustees of eighteen of the common school districts of the county have asked County Superintendent of Schools Mitchell to recommend special taxes for those districts. The sums asked for rare in addition to the regular income for schools from taxation. The trustees of any district that wants an extra teacher, wants to add a school room to the school house or paint the school house, or do anything that requires unusual expenditure, may raise money for that purpose by a special tax upon the district. Requests for the special tax go to the school superintendent, who makes a recommendation upon which the board of supervisors fixes the rate. The requests received by Superintendent Mitchell follow: Anaheim, $6500; Bolsa, $400; Buena Park, $500; Delhi, $1000; El Modena, $1000; El Toro, $300; Fairview, $500; Fullerton, $2000; Harper, $800; Huntington Beach, $2500; La Habra, $700; Orange, $2400; Peralta, $300; Placentia, $800; Randolph, $700; Santa Ana, $17,500; Tustin, $1500; Yorba, $250. The high school districts, which get but little money from the state, have asked for rthe following amounts to be raised by special tax: Anaheim High School, $20,000; Fullerton Union High School, $40,000; Huntington Beach Union High School, $12,000; Orange Union High School, $15,000; Santa Ana High School, $35,000. In addition to the above special taxes, those districts that are not in any high school district must be taxed. id, and we recommend that your highway commission be given all the latitude consistent with the law, in the selection of suitable pavements for the proposed system of good roads. The minimum width of roadway will be twenty-four (24) feet; this will be in cuts and fills. Where this width can be increased without materially adding to the cost, as where grading is light, it will be done. There is no immediate necessity for doing so, however, as the traveled roadway on the highways of the county, seldom exceeds twenty (20) feet. The paved portion of the roadway will be sixteen (16) feet wide, which is the maximum width permitted by the law. In our previous reports, we stated that the plan was to protect this central strip of pavement on either shoulder with a strip of broken stone or gravel two feet wide. It now appears that this is a violation of the law. In Los Angeles county the construction of protective shoulders out of bond money voted for good roads has been abandoned and the money so expended in the earlier periods of construction, is being refunded. Shoulders are now being built, but with money provided by the board of supervisors from other funds. Experience proves that a sixteen foot width of pavement is too narrow for passing traffic, in consequence of which ruts are formed along the borders of the pavement, which are unsightly and expose the pavement proper to serious damage. We believe that the roads recommended for improvement where paved at all, should be given a width ample for passing traffic, and we recom- The high school districts, which get but little money from the state, have asked for rthe following amounts to be raised by special tax: Anaheim High School, $20,000; Fullerton Union High School, $40,000; Huntington Beach Union High School, $12,000; Orange Union High School, $15,000; Santa Ana High School, $35,000. In addition to the above special taxes, those districts that are not in any high school district must be taxed for the tuition of pupils who are attending some high school in the county but who do not live inside a high school district. The law is so arranged that this tuition must be raised from a blanket assessment covering all districts outside any high school district. The amount to be raised this year is $12,800, which means a 10-cent levy on all the common school districts not included in any of the five high school districts in the county.

D. Stoeshis committees and working order there men and women according the third state applans for the show, the advance inforff the press, a numbers in the state have space this year and pressing rapidly. The show this year call show that is entirely ever attempted on the coast. Beau-exhibits count more than quantity, the exhibits will be of past years here, and the show from one end to the other justifies the catchy slogan of "the Apple Show different" that has been adopted. The show this year will cover 90,000 square feet, an area one-third larger than that of the Coliseum, which housed the recent famous Republican national convention. While there were exhibits last year from 15 counties, it is anticipated this year that twice that number will enter. The prize list this year is larger than ever before and every apple producing section in the state will be welcome to exhibit. Already hundreds of inquiries from all over the state have been received in regard to the coming exposition, which is destined to be the grandest as well as the largest apple show in the world. Watsonville, which annually ships 5,000 carloads of apples, is a fitting place to hold such a show and the eyes of the apple world are already centered on this city from far and wide.
