ENTITLED TO TWO SUPERVISORS Facts appearing at a recent discussion by the board of supervisors relative to assessed valuation in the several supervisor districts of Orange county make it apparent that the northern end of the county is entitled to two members of the board instead of one as at present. William Schumacher, the present member of the board from this district, has proven himself to be such an excellent official that in the event of adding another member to the board from this end of the county, he would undoubtedly be unanimously chosen to succeed himself. The matter of redistricting the county supervisorial districts has been a topic of earnest discussion in this section of the county for a year or more past, and it is probable that an initiative petition will be presented the supervisors in the not distant future asking for a revision of the supervisorial district lines. Mr. Schumacher some days ago stopped an attempted appropriation of $20,000 for construction of a coast line boulevard. The board of supervisors voted informally four to one in favor of this appropriation, which was merely an entering wedge for more appropriations in succeeding years. Mr. Schumacher showed that it was necessary in order to make this appropriation that unanimous consent of the board be secured in order to obtain this it would seem highly inappropriate that any measure aimed to suppress publication of an important public act should receive any serious support. The spirit of the times is all the other way. In fact all economists believe the greater the publicity the less likelihood of official misconduct. HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES TO GIVE GERMAN PLAY Two One-Act Comedies Will Be Given in Auditorium Tomorrow Night Members of German classes at the local high school, under the direction of Miss Steckert, will give two German one-act comedies, "Eigensinn," or "Stubbornness," and "Einer Muss Heiraten," or "One Must Marry," at the high school auditorium tomorrow (Friday) night.

COUNTY BANKING Financiers Will Subscribe of State's 4 Percent C. A. Eygabroad of Southern County Board meeting of Orange County Santa Ana on Monday it was unanimously scribe for $200,000 of This money will be available, and will be reelected of a quarter of the state's 4 per cent bank for sale by the state session at Sacramento in Action of local financial declaration by State Darlington some weeks state highway committee unable to dispose of market. Mr. Darlington appealed to local banks to the end that road prosecuted with counties of the state had already been mappings perfected for them. He gave assurance that received from local banks applied to construction through their counties declaration, the state mission last week disbanded of state bonds to many counties. Amounts were bankers in Bernardino counties.$800,000 of state's 4 made at Sacramento time, and the meeting money ready for purification of this allotment. In discussing this measure, Mr. Schumacher showed that the third supervisor district has 37 per cent of the county's total assessed valuation. The three other supervisor districts to which money is appropriated for county roads, has the remaining 63 per cent. Yet each of these districts has drawn much more money from the general road fund than has this district. In fact, this district has received from 20 to 25 per cent of road money, which is something more than half the amount to which it is rightfully entitled. Inasmuch as this district is showing a much greater increase in assessable wealth and population than the other districts of the county, it would seem that by addition of small territory from the second and fourth districts, we should be able to elect two members of the board. This would effectually stop the transfer of money from the general road fund for construction of a coast line boulevard. We believe that each supervisor district should care for its own roads out of moneys rightfully belonging to it from the general road fund. We enthusiastically support Mr. Schumacher in his position of voting against an appropriation of $20,000 from the current expense fund for construction of any particular road in any portion of the county. We believe the northern end of the county is entitled to two supervisors, and that Mr. Schumacher should have the support of another member upon the board from this end of the county. To this end we favor the circulation of an initiative petition asking a redistricting of supervisorial lines at such time as the same may appear to be practicable.

DEBATERS SELECTED FOR ANAHEIM SCHOOL Contestants For the Los Angeles and Huntington Beach Bouts Chosen Debaters to represent the Anaheim high school in the Los Angeles Southern California league and the Huntington Beach county league debates to be held in the near future were selected at the tryouts held in the school auditorium Wednesday evening of last week. Sixteen contestants were entered and good work was shown by all. First place was won by Hans Storm, second by Walter Spaeth, and these two will represent the local school in the Los Angeles debate March 28. Third place was won by Howard Krause, fourth by Lawrence Waller, and fifth by Earl Spencer. Krause has expressed a dislike for extemporaneous debates, and will not enter the Huntington Beach contest. Anaheim will thus be represented by Messrs. Waller and Spencer. This contest will be held in this city Friday evening, April 4, and the winner will take charge of the Davis silver cup until it is won by some other school. Anaheim is now in possession of the cup, having won it from Santa Ana in the first debate of the year, and held it when Fullerton attempted to get the prized trophy, and with two hot-air artists as Waller and Spencer in the ring, no doubt is expressed that the Anaheim school will continue to keep the cup for some time to come. The question for this debate is, resolved that the United States should continue to hold second place among the navies of the world. Under the coaching of Miss Veda Walker, teacher of elocution and debating coach of the Anaheim high school, the young men chosen to represent the school in these two contests, have gone to work and it is expected they will put up their share of the best debates ever held in the state. The question for the Los Angeles debate is, resolved that the Sherman anti-trust law should be repealed. The preliminaries Wednesday evening were held on this question. About 250 people were present at the contest; 16 entries were made. Some of those entering were Edwin Miller, Gerald Whitaker, Albert, Messerschmidt, Howard Krause, Will Webb, Edmund Bradley, Hans Storm, Lawrence Waller, Walter This money will be constructed of the state Orange county along by the highway con Fullerton, Anaheim, San Juan.

To this end we favor the circulation of an initiative petition asking a redistricting of supervisorial lines at such time as the same may appear to be practicable. We have suffered long and patiently with wretched roads leading into this city. The time has come to call a halt, and we believe we see in Mr. Schumacher the man to remedy this long-standing evil. Inasmuch as our population warrants us in asking for another member upon the board, we believe our people should resolutely set themselves to the task of securing such another member. UNWISE LEGISLATION There has been introduced in the Assembly a bill amending section 1142 of the Political Code and the purpose of the amendment is to permit boards of supervisors and election commissioners to eliminate the publication of the names of election officers as now required by law. The act is amended by the insertion of the following phrase: "Or post such names in at least three prominent places in the county or city and county at least one week before said eelction." This bill is the entering wedge of a general plan of doing away with all legal advertising, such as notice to creditors, notice of probate of will, orders to show cause, sales of real estate, notices inviting bids for construction of public works and other timely and necessary advertising designed to protect the public from official wrongs. In this age of progress and publicity ANAHEIM GAZETTE COUNTY BANKERS TAKE ROAD BONDS Financiers Will Subscribe for $200,000 of State's 4 Per Cent Bonds C. A. Eygabroad of the Anaheim National Bank, and C. A. Boege of the Southern County Bank, attended a meeting of Orange county bankers at Santa Ana on Monday evening, when it was unanimously decided to subscribe for $200,000 of state road bonds. This money will be immediately available, and will be ready for purchase of a quarter of the $800,000 of the state's 4 per cent bonds to be offered for sale by the state highway commission at Sacramento in the near future. Action of local financiers followed a declaration by State Commissioner Darlington some weeks ago that the state highway commission found itself unable to dispose of its bonds in open market. Mr. Darlington at that time appealed to local bankers throughout the state to come forward with money to the end that road building might be prosecuted with dispatch in many counties of the state where surveys had already been made and specifications perfected for the state highway. He gave assurance that all moneys received from local banks would be applied to construction of the state road through their counties. Following this declaration, the state highway commission last week disposed of $800,000 of state bonds to local bankers in many counties. Among these purchasers were bankers in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Another offer of $800,000 of state's 4 per cents will be made at Sacramento in the near future, and the meeting decided to have money ready for purchase of $200,000 of this allotment. SHOWER GIVEN TO MISS BETZ Party of Santa Ana Friends Perpetrate Enjoyable Surprise A very enjoyable surprise was given Miss Ada L. Betz Monday evening at her home on South Lemon street by the "Plus Ultra's," a Santa Ana Sunday school class, to which Miss Bezt formerly belonged, and she was made the recipient of many beautiful and useful gifts in honor of her engagement to Dr. C. Albert Zimmermann, a graduate of the American School of Osteopathy, at Kirksville, Mo. The merry party arrived from Santa Ana at 8 o'clock, driving over automobiles. The evening's program consisted of four-hand piano pieces rendered by Misses Martha Schildmeyer and Helen Hoefer, vocal solos by Miss Winifred Husser, and classical violin solos by Dr. Zimmermann. Upon conclusion of the program, the gifts, placed in a big box, were showered on Miss Betz and a merry time was had unwrapping them. A three-course luncheon was served and the guests upon leaving, expressed themselves as having spent a most enjoyable evening. Those present were the Misses Ida Schroeder, Martha Schildmeyer, Alfreda Holzgrafe, Emma Jacobs, Gertrude Thee, Amanda Thee, Mary B. Lutz, Elsie and Ethel Stutheit, Minnie Rohrs, Winifred Husser, Nellie Rohrs, Mable Stella and Mamie Betz; Mrs. J. Husser, Mrs. Arthur Hoefer and Mrs. Godfrey Betz. FOR HUNGRY PEOPLE Dinner will be served in the league room of the First M. E. church on Thursday the 15th at 12 M. There will be an all-day meeting of the ladies' so- F. R. Hudson is showing a collection of several magnificent views taken on a recent trip to the San Bernardino mountains. The party consisting of Messrs. Tom and Marsh Ingram, Leo Sheridan and Hudson made the trip in a Ford touring car. The roads in the mountains were covered with snow and although the machine went up farther than any other automobile, it was abandoned about two miles from the summit of the range, and the rest of the trip made on foot. The party reached the top "all in" and were glad to rest by the fire of a hospitable resident in the neighborhood. From the summit Mr. Hudson took several excellent pictures of the near-by mountains, showing snow in abundance. The return trip was made without mishap, and it is understood the druggists were completely sold out of alcohol and witch-hazel the next day, the same being used to rub sore and stiff joints, due to the hike up the trail. A club of local young men, known commonly as "The Dubs," of which Bill Wallop is president, Leo Sheridan vice-president, F. R. Hudson secretary, Barney Hartfield treasurer, and Albert Brunworth, E. E. Smith and other valued members, have been improving the shining hours the past week fitting up a tennis court on a lot near the water company's office on East Center street. Much sweat and a few swear words have been in evidence about the premises, and the court is finally assuming the proportions of levelness. A back-stop will shortly be erected, and it is expected some exciting games will be played on the grounds this summer. Some of the members of the club, it is whispered, get up before breakfast and work on the court by 6 o'clock in the morning, while others say they will not get up before 7:30 until the court is finished and can be played on. Some moochers, vot! V. U. Simpson was a business visitor in Los Angeles yesterday. received from local banks would be applied to construction of the state road through their counties. Following this declaration, the state highway commission last week disposed of $800,000 of state bonds to local bankers in many counties. Among these purchasers were bankers in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Another offer of $800,000 of state's 4 per cents will be made at Sacramento in the near future, and the meeting decided to have money ready for purchase of $200,000 of this allotment. This money will be used for construction of the state highway through Orange county along the route selected by the highway commission through Fullerton, Anaheim, Santa Ana and San Juan. Decision of local financiers to subscribe for this amount of state bonds insures speedy construction of the state road in Orange county. It was pointed out at the meeting by Mr. Eygabroad that the $18,000,000 bond issue is insufficient to construct all roads mapped out by the state highway commission, and that unless the work were speedily begun upon the road in Orange county he feared that road work in other counties might be prosecuted to such an extent as to make it impossible for this county to secure the state highway. Many banks throughout the state have manifested eagerness to take over these bonds in the view that such monies would be used for construction of roads in their sections. The meeting was attended by bankers from Santa Ana, Orange, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Fullerton, and this city. About 20 local financiers were present. Representatives of the two beach banks expressed hearty cooperation in the movement for subscribing for these bonds, and it is not believed any further talk of injunction proceedings to stay work of building the highway along the interior route will again be heard. These local financiers are entitled to a vote of thanks on the part of the people for their patriotic action. It insures construction work in this county upon the state highway probably coming summer. A committee was appointed to take the matter up with Commissioner Darlington and they will go to Los Angeles this week in order to hold conference with him. IN AND ABOUT THE CITY A. H.

He will return to his eastern home, sell his property, and bring his family here to live the latter part of the year.
