COUNTY TAX RATE $1.05 INSIDE CITIES; $1.45 OUT SUPERVISOR SMITH OF SANTA ANA STANDS FOR A LOWER RATE DOES NOT WANT CITIES TO PAY TOO MUCH MONEY TO COUNTY ROAD FUNDS The Board of Supervisors on Monday fixed the county tax rate at $1.05 inside cities and $1.45 outside cities, the same as last year. The rate was fixed with Supervisor H. E. Smith of Santa Ana voting no. He favored $1 inside cities and $1.40 outside. A delegation of Fullerton men and A. A. Hills of Anaheim and H. Clay Kellogg of Santa Ana appeared before the supervisors and asked that at least ten cents be added to the tax rate this year and ten cents next year to provide a fund for building shoulders to the county good roads.

Last year $56,357.78 was spent on roads from the current fund. With the new rate it will be possible to spend $70,000 from that fund. Supervisor Struck stated that the rate of $1.05 and $1.45 was necessary in order to raise money to do the things the board had promised to do. A delegation of Garden Grove citizens appeared to present the name of Charles Fritts, principal of the school, for appointment on the county school board.

K. day fixed the county tax rate at $1.05 inside cities and $1.45 outside cities, the same as last year. The rate was fixed with Supervisor H. E. Smith of Santa Ana voting no. He favored $1 inside cities and $1.40 outside. A delegation of Fullerton men and A. A. Mills of Anaheim and H. Clay Kellogg of Santa Ana appeared before the supervisors and asked that at least ten cents be added to the tax rate this year and ten cents next year to provide a fund for building shoulders to the county good roads. It was contended that without the shoulders the roads will be damaged by traffic. A cement shoulder sloping off beneath the surface was suggested. Highway Commissioner Pixley stated that the commission expects to build the 107 miles of good roads with the money secured by bonds, and cannot undertake the erection of all shoulders. He and Commissioner Crookshank suggested that an extra five-cent levy be put on. The board's reply was against an extra levy, the statement being made that the county will take whatever steps are necessary should it develop that any particular road needs additional work to protect that already done. Supervisor Smith contended that the rate should be lowered five cents from last year, especially in the cities. He thought it not the best policy to make the cities stand for raising a big fund to be used on county roads. He was willing that a special tax of five cents be levied outside cities. He got no second to his motion. The motion to fix the rate the same as last year carried. The items of the rate and amounts to be raised follow: Supervisor Struck stated that the rate of $1.05 and $1.45 was necessary in order to raise money to do the things the board had promised to do. A delegation of Garden Grove citizens appeared to present the name of Charles Fritts, principal of the school, for appointment on the county school board. Learning that there was little possibility of his appointment, the name was not presented. C. C. Smith of Orange, who was appointed on the school board when he was teaching at Huntington Beach, resigned, and V. B. Brown was appointed in his place. Brown is principal at Huntington Beach. The Santa Ana Elks were given permission to use the County Park for a barbecue and picnic. E. A. Stockslager and George Balderson asked that something be done to better West Seventeenth street beyond the river. Supervisor Talbert stated that his road foreman had already prepared to work the road, which is in bad shape. It is a sandy road, and with Fifth street closed the large amount of traffic on it cuts through the oil surfacing.

BISHOP MUST TAKE THE EXAMINATION Horticultural Commission Must Prove Capable Before Reappointment The four-year term of County Horticultural Commissioner Roy K. Bishop ends in November, and under a recent ruling by Attorney General Webb he must take a new examination, along with all other applicants, and a new list of eligibles be given to the Board of Supervisors from which a new appointment shall be made.

PILLAR OF FIRE 600 FEET HIGH Moses' Guide Post to Be Imitated at Tulsa Dry-Farming Congress "And there went before them by night a pillar of fire to give them light."—Ex. xiii:21. For the first time in history, since that marvelous light brought the people of Israel out of bondage, another pillar of fire will be used to call the people of the world from labor to refreshment at Tulsa. The largest gas well in the world is located within a few miles of Tulsa. It is being piped into the middle of the exposition grounds used by the International Dry-Farming Congress. It flows thirty million cubic feet of natural gas daily and when it is turned loose and lighted on the night of October tract to C. McNeill of Santa Ana for the construction of the new county hospital. The contract price is $45,441. Completed, the structure will cost about $55,000. This morning the contract for a heating and ventilating plant was let to Munger & Munger of Los Angeles for $5,115, which includes a thermostat control. The bids received were: C. McNeill, Santa Ana, $45,441; G. E. Preble, Santa Ana, $46,000; V. U. Simpson, Anaheim, $45,500; D. Funk, Santa Ana, $48,089; C. M. Jordan, Santa Ana, $45,763; Long Beach Construction Co., Long Beach, $45,990; A. C. Black, Santa Ana, $45,600; George Kuechel, Orange, $48,250. This set of birds was the third opened by the Board of Supervisors. The first bid was $38,500, but it developed that the bidder could not possibly fill the contract, as he had made a mistake of several thousand dollars on the cost of his cement. In the next set of bids the low man was $42,500, but did not have a legal bid in accordance with the call. Frederick H. Eley of Santa Ana is the architect who designed the county hospital, which will be built on the county farm at West Orange. The hospital is to be an attractive building. It will be two stories, with a big basement and roof garden. The building will be of re-inforced concrete, which will make it fire-proof. The classic style has been used by the architect in planning the building. The structure will have a floor measurement of 40 by 98 feet. It will be provided with elevators, a superintendent's office, doctor's offices, operating room, men's ward, women's ward, private ward, dining-room, two kitchens, The four-year term of County Horticultural Commissioner Roy K. Bishop ends in November, and under a recent ruling by Attorney General Webb he must take a new examination, along with all other applicants, and a new list of eligibles be given to the Board of Supervisors from which a new appointment shall be made. The law under which the system of county horticultural commissioners was instituted in this state four years ago is not clear as to its provisions for the filling of terms after the end of the first term, and County Horticultural Commissioner Bishop has been wondering for some time what would be done about it. State Horticultural Commissioner A. J. Cook has also been doing some wondering of the same kind, and he asked the attorney general for an opinion upon the subject. A copy of the reply has been received here by the Board of Supervisors, and upon it the procedure will be founded. The opinion states that while the law does not provide for a successor, yet its intent is clear. New examinations must be given and a new appointment made. There are counties, Orange being one of them, where there is no list of eligibles, the incumbent being the only applicant to pass the examinations. The law contemplates that there shall be examinations at least once in four years, so that there may be eligibles that counties that have a commissioner who by reason of failing health or some other cause is unable to do the work may select a new man. Orange county is not in that condition, however, the commissioner having given general satisfaction. Under the ruling of the attorney For the first time in history, since that marvelous light brought the people of Israel out of bondage, another pillar of fire will be used to call the people of the world from labor to refreshment at Tulsa. The largest gas well in the world is located within a few miles of Tulsa. It is being piped into the middle of the exposition grounds used by the International Dry-Farming Congress. It flows thirty million cubic feet of natural gas daily and when it is turned loose and lighted on the night of October 22 the visitors and delegates to the Congress will witness a sight that for awe-inspiring magnificence has never been equalled. Six hundred feet straight into the air the gas is shot by nature's force below. Its noise is like that of an avalanche; its power that of the cyclone. It will be controlled and ignited by electricity from a distance of 200 yards or more on account of the heat it creates. No flame can be seen until the gas reaches the height of a ten-story building. Above that a solid pillar of fire 500 feet in height and a hundred feet thick will illumine the exposition grounds and the city of Tulsa as no city was ever lighted in the history of the world. Shadows will be cast of people and things five miles away. The flame itself may be seen for a hundred miles. Gas is cheap in Oklahoma. The average gas light in the average home uses but few cubic feet of gas in an hour. The great gas light at Tulsa will burn fifteen million feet a night. Nothing like it has ever been seen since Moses led his people out of Egypt and into the promised land.
