SCANTY ASSETS REPORTED BY COMMITTEE NATIONAL HOME AND TOWN BUILDERS COMPANY SHOW FEW RESOURCES GROSS MISMANAGEMENT PUT THE CONCERN UPON ROCK OF FINANCIAL DISASTER Showing the National Home and Town Builders Company to have been grossly mismanaged a report of a committee appointed by the stockholders to investigate the concern's affairs, was this week made public. The report indicates there is very little left of the $60,000 of stock turned over to the defunct concern by the Orange County Investment Company two years ago. At that time the latter company had resources of more than $60,000. This has practically disappeared, there being only about $2,500 saved from the wreck. A number of defrauded shareholders some months ago discussed the propriety of calling for a grand jury investigation, but this was dropped. The committee's report has little interest in it to shareholders except to show them how badly they were swindled: To the Bondholders of the National Home and Town Builders. Your committee reports as follows: The first committee appointed by you in February, 1913, consisted of Thomas L. McFadden of Fullerton, J. E. Kellogg of Santa Ana, and J. A. Jacques of Hemet. Because of the financial condition of the company as revealed at the first meeting of the bondholders, a thorough investigation was made incorporation Union Builders Investment Company... 77.10 Rent of room for bondholders' meeting, stationery, stamps, notary and recording fees, certificates of title, trips of Mr. Dearing to San Bernardino and San Pedro... 43.99 Bill rendered by Mr. Jacques, committeeman... 45.75 Bill rendered by Mr. McFadden, committeeman... 33.00 Total ... $1,218.84 Received From bondholders on assessment account ... $497.40 Account of fixtures, etc... 230.67 Cash, above mentioned... 200.00 Total ... $928.07 Excess of expenditures over receipts advanced by your committee... $290.77 The seven lots above mentioned will be sold to the best advantage, and after reimbursing your committee and paying necessary expenses, the amount of assessments collected will be first refunded and any balance remaining will then be apportioned pro rata among all of the bondholders.

The committee's report has little interest in it to shareholders except to show them how badly they were swindled: To the Bondholders of the National Home and Town Builders. Your committee reports as follows: The first committee appointed by you in February, 1913, consisted of Thomas L. McFadden of Fullerton, J. E. Kellogg of Santa Ana, and J. A. Jacques of Hemet. Because of the financial condition of the company as revealed at the first meeting of the bondholders, a thorough investigation was made into the accounts and transactions of the company during the year 1912, to ascertain what had become of the company's assets and who was responsible for the depletion of the security of the bonds under the trust deed. An expert accountant, with assistants, was employed for this purpose and his typewritten statement and report is at the office of H. L. Dearing, one of the undersigned committee, at 302 Exchange building, Los Angeles, California, and may be there inspected by any bondholder who so desires. This report shows that the larger part of the assets of the company, constituting its capital stock and, under the terms of the trust deed, the security for the outstanding bonds, and which was required to be kept invested for such security, was used for the general operating expenses of the company. It further appears that the trust deed, by reason of its terms, furnished no adequate security to the bondholders. The company agreed to turn over to the bondholders all of the assets of the company, which consisted of contracts to purchase the Highland Heights Tract in San Bernardino and the Rendalia Tract in Los Angeles county, and the title to the Honey Tract in Orange, California, which was heavily mortgaged, together with various contracts for the sale of lots and a two-year lease at 350 South Hill street. This transfer was made to a corporation organized by your second committee under the name of Union Builders Investment Company for the purpose of handling these properties for the benefit of the bondholders, either as trustee or as a stock company. At the second meeting of the bondholders your second committee, consisting of the undersigned (and E. Johnson of Fullerton, who subsequently resigned), was authorized to enter into negotiations with other companies, particularly with the City Builders Investment Company, with the object of securing stock in such companies in exchange for the property interests we had acquired. A thorough investigation was made into the condition of the City Builders Investment Company and the character and value of its properties, as well as the standing and financial responsibility of its officers, but after investigating our properties that company declined to take them in exchange on any proposition. Similar offers were subsequently made to the Pacific Home Builders Company, Los Angeles Investment Company and Guarantee Building Investment Company, but with no better result. At the last meeting of the bondholders, called in May, 1913, there was then due on outstanding obligations named: INSECTS DISCOVERED BY MANY EXPERTS Convention to Be Held at Ontario on January 30th A convention of great importance to citrus growers is to be held at Chaffee College, Ontario, Friday, January 30th, and a large attendance is expected. It is in the nature of an emergency convention, called for the purpose of considering the control of insects, with special reference to the citrus mealy bug. All fruit growers interested in the control of citrus insects are urged to attend, as the matter presented will be of great value to all interested in this great industry. One and one-third rates will be given by the railroad. A splendid program has been prepared. The participants will be men who are known to be observers, and as most of them have had experience in the control of the citrus mealy bug, they can speak with authority. The following names will at once impress the citrus fruit growers with the character of the program: Geo. G. Laidlaw, president West Ontario Citrus Association of Narod, Ontario; Dr. A. J. Cook, State Commissioner of Horticulture, Sacramento; C. C. Teague, manager Limoneira Company, Santa Paula; G. Harold Powell, manager California Fruit Exchange, Los Angeles; R. S.

Pease, Horticultural Commissioner San Bernardino County, San Bernardino; R. S. Woglum, Expert Bureau of Entomology, U.S. Dept. Agriculture, Whittier; Harry S. Smith, Superintendent State Insectary, Sacramento; E. O. Essig, Secretary State Commission of Horticulture, Sacramento. CALIFORNIA'S MOTORS The records of the motor vehicle department in Secretary of State Jordan's office at the close of the 1913 business show that California invested $46,908,000 in automobiles this year and for the second consecutive year leads all other states in the purchase of motor vehicles. The grand total investment in motor cars since the registration of automobiles was begun in 1905 is estimated at $183,850,500 on the basis that the average price of a machine is $1,500. Attaches of the motor vehicle department, who have been keeping in touch with the registration in other states said that California's registration of 31,727 new cars for 1913 exceeded that of New York, its nearest competitor, by more than 2,600.

Want Vigorous Figures A committee of the Fruit Exchange was of Supervisors this deputy horticultural appointed in this vigorous campaign On the committee denied Tustin, D., and Willard Smith stated that a concise larger force than that to attend to horticulture necessary. The frust terminated to get her very best of condi- mittee contended tha in that direction a committee asked for that a chief deputy appointed, he to be passed the tests giving amination of application of horticulture we had acquired. A thorough investigation was made into the condition of the City Builders Investment Company and the character and value of its properties, as well as the standing and financial responsibility of its officers, but after investigating our properties that company declined to take them in exchange on any proposition. Similar offers were subsequently made to the Pacific Home Builders Company, Los Angeles Investment Company and Guarantee Building Investment Company, but with no better result. At the last meeting of the bondholders, called in May, 1913, there was then due on outstanding obligations, namely, on these mortgages and contracts of purchase; $3,190.17 principal and interest, and there was to become due $6,000 in October and $1,500 in November following. The bondholders were not able, or were unwilling, to advance the necessary money to take care of these obligations and enable us to hold on to these properties, or some of them. Being loath to allow our interests in these properties to become forfeited without some compensation, we have persisted in an endeavor to save something from them, and by constant negotiations have at last obtained clear title to five lots in the Highland Heights Tract and two lots in San Pedro, having an approximate conservative value of nearly $2,000, together with $200 in cash. An additional sum of $230.67 cash has been received from the sale of fixtures and furniture. This constitutes all of the property that your committee has been able to save from the assets of the National Home and Town Builders Company. A desperate attempt was made to dispose of the lease at 350 South Hill street and save the deposit made as security. In this endeavor three months' rent of $175 a month was paid by the members of your committee out of their private resources. We were finally compelled to allow the lease to lapse. At the second meeting of the bondholders an assessment was levied by consent. About one-third of the bondholders have paid their assessment, the payments aggregating $497.40. The following is a condensed statement of moneys received and expended by your committee: Expended Expert accountant, assistants...$ 460.00 Rent advanced on leasehold, 3 months ... 525.00 Stenographer ... 34.00 business show that California invested $46,908,000 in automobiles this year and for the second consecutive year leads all other states in the purchase of motor vehicles.

Attaches of the motor vehicle department, who have been keeping in touch with the registration in other states said that California's registration of 31,727 new cars for 1913 exceeded that of New York, its nearest competitor, by more than 2,600. The registration this year exceeds that of 1912 by 2,112 cars. The total number of cars registered in California in the eight years the motor vehicle department has been existent totals 122,567. The receipts of the motor vehicle department for 1913 aggregated $79,-638. The total number of chauffeurs registered in California is 31,747. Beginning with January 1, the registration of motor cars will be annual and based on the horsepower of each machine. The department will be transferred from the secretary of state's office to that of the department of engineers. Motorcycles, which previously had not been taxed, will be subject to a $2 registration fee. It is estimated that the new registration law will bring in a revenue of $1,000,000 each year. Half of this will be paid to the state highway commission for the maintenance of roads and the remaining half will go to counties from which a machine is registered. KANSAS PICNIC The ninth annual picnic of the Kansas State Society of Southern California will be held in Long Beach on Thursday, January 29, 1914. An interesting program has been arranged. All former Kansans are cordially invited.. Go over and renew acquaintance with former neighbors. Most of them will be there. Barmaid—No, I can't serve you; you've had enough already.

Souders of the Santa Ana high school; a special certificate in manual training and home economics to Miss Clarasia M. Works of Fullerton, and a home economics certificate to Miss Viola E. Woods of Orange. New Boulevard By further arrangement between the Huntington Beach Company and the city, Main street and Twenty-third street, from its junction with Main to the city limits and from there on to the junction with the county highway, are to be improved into one of the most impressive avenues in Orange. DOINGS OF THE WATER BOARD Amalgamated Makes Its Report on Oil Production Anaheim, Cal., Jan. 17, 1914. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors was held on the above date with all members present. Minutes of the last regular meeting of January 3, and January 10, were read and approved. On motion of Bradford, seconded by Hale, the president and secretary were authorized to sign the contract with the Byron-Jackson Company for pump to be installed at pumping plant No. 4. On motion of Hale, seconded by Bradford, the bond of J. Wm. Smith of $500 was accepted. On motion of Hale, seconded by Beazley, the land not in use at pumping plant No. 2 was rented to Wm. Crowther for the year 1914. On motion of Hale, seconded by Holcomb, the superintendent was instructed to place vent pipes wherever necessary on the north branch ditch. On motion of Hale, seconded by Beazley, Directors Crowther and Dwyer and Attorney Keech were appointed a committee with power to act to get a description of right-of-way of the Anaheim ditch. On motion of Hale, seconded by Beazley, the superintendent was given power to act in removing the Pacific Electric fence from the A. U. W. Co. right-of-way at Edmore.

This is strictly a business offer—not charity—the object is to get just as many positive cures to their credit as they can in the shortest possible time, and it will be expected of all patients New Boulevard By further arrangement between the Huntington Beach Company and the city, Main street and Twenty-third street, from its junction with Main to the city limits and from there on to the junction with the county highway, are to be improved into one of the most impressive avenues in Orange County. The avenue everywhere is 125 feet in width. The middle 45 feet is to be parked for the entire distance. The Huntington Beach Company will plant the trees for the parking. The avenue will have four lines of trees, one on either side of the parking and two lines on the outer edges of the streets, which have already been planted. Between the parking and the side of the streets will be the driveways, which are to be paved. Marshal Vincent Resigns The many failures to convict men arrested by City Marshal E. L. Vincent, of Huntington Beach, during his incumbency in office since last April, and the strong dislike of a portion of the people of this city for the marshal culminated in his resignation, which he handed Maxor Seely, to take effect February 1. Right or wrong, the marshal is unpopular among a class of people here, and this fact has led to innumerable disturbances of the peace and the acquittal of almost everybody who has been arrested by him for minor offenses. The marshal is conceded to be a man of good character and intentions, but is accused by those who oppose him of being without tact and inclined to act on impulse. The resignation has caused a sensation in Huntington Beach and the city trustees seem inclined to appoint in Vincent's place some outside man who has neither friends nor enemies here, and so will assume the office without any entangling alliances. In his resignation, which is to be presented to the city trustees at their meeting next Monday evening, the marshal alleges that his financial condition makes it impossible to hold the office at the present salary. Want Vigorous Fight on Pest A committee of the Orange County Fruit Exchange was before the Board of Supervisors this week asking that deputy horticultural commissioners be appointed in this county to aid in a vigorous campaign against scale pests. On the committee were J. A. McFadden of Tustin, D. E. Huff of Orange and Willard Smith of Villa Park. They stated that a concerted effort with a larger force than the county now has to attend to horticultural matters is necessary. The fruit exchange is determined to get the orchards into the very best of condition, and the committee contended that immediate steps in that direction are necessary. The committee asked for three things: First, that a chief deputy commissioner be appointed, he to be one of those who passed the tests given here in the examination of applicants for the position of horticultural commissioner. R. FROST RESISTANCE OF EUCALYPTUS Many Trees, Supposed to Be Killed, Are Recovering A study of relative frost resistance of the principal species of Eucalyptus that have been planted in Southern California has just been completed by Forest Assistant R. N. Munns, who has charge of the forest service experiment station near San Bernardino. During early January, 1913, that portion of the state experienced unusually low temperatures, and the report is based upon the effect of these temperatures on 26 species of this genus. The observations made show that Eucalyptus, Australian Beech, Cider gum, Bastard box gum, and Giant gum are most frost resistant. Gray, red, and blue gum are ranked next in this respect. His reports show that many of the Eucalyptus groves which at first were thought to have been entirely killed by the frost later recovered. This indicates that it is well for Eucalyptus growers to wait five or six months after a freeze before cutting their groves to the ground in order to give the trees an opportunity to recover. NEW SCHOOLS ARE PROPOSED This is strictly a business offer—not charity—the object is to get just as many positive cures to their credit as they can in the shortest possible time, and it will be expected of all patients taking advantage of this offer to state to their friends the results obtained by their system of treatment. They treat ALL KINDS OF CHRONIC DISEASES AND DEFORMITIES. It is very seldom that a community so situated as the one in which we live has the privilege of consulting such renowned specialists, who are in constant attendance to wait on you, diagnose your case, give you the benefit of their knowledge. There is no experimenting or guess work. You will be told whether you can be cured or not. If your case is curable they will treat you; if incurable they will give you such advice as to prolong your life. They treat deafness by an entirely new method, and hearing is restored to many at once. CATARRH in all its VARIED FORMS cured so it never will return, by breaking up the cold catching tendency by the electrical absorption of medecine. If you have weak lungs do not fail to be examined. The new discovery of absorbing medicine by electricity in paralysis, loss of manly vigor, rheumatism and all diseases of the nervous system, including EPI-LEPSY, is a God-send to suffering humanity. Medical and scientific men stand amazed at the marvelous cures that are being effected wherever this system is being introduced. Thousands who have given up all hopes of ever being cured now have an opportunity of a lifetime to consult skilled specialists of National renutation. Remember their knowledge of medicine combined with electricity gives them control of diseases that others do not possess. If you have WEAK EYES, come and see the greatest AMERICAN and EUROPEAN OCULIST. He, with his remarkable discovery, cures all those afflicted with failing eyesight, cataracts or functional blindness. The blind made to see by their entirely new methods. No experiments. Come and test it for yourself. Eyes expertly tested and treated. ALL THIS IS FREE OF CHARGE. THEY STRAIGHTEN CROSS EYES BY ELECTRICAL TREATMENTS. NO KNIFE, NO PAIN. This is done by their new system. Don't fail to call on these eminent specialists, as a visit costs you nothing and may save your life. If you suspect kidney trouble, bring a two-ounce vial of your urine for chemical and microscopic analysis. Go early, as their offices are always crowded. If you are improving under your family physician do not come and take up their valuable time. They wish to give each one plenty of time, but cannot listen to long stories not pertaining to your case. The rich and poor alike treated. NOTICE—Morphine, cocaine, laudumium tobacco and liquor habits On the committee were J. A. McFadden of Tustin, D. E. Huff of Orange and Willard Smith of Villa Park. They stated that a concerted effort with a larger force than the county now has to attend to horticultural matters is necessary. The fruit exchange is determined to get the orchards into the very best of condition, and the committee contended that immediate steps in that direction are necessary. The committee asked for three things: First, that a chief deputy commissioner be appointed, he to be one of those who passed the tests given here in the examination of applicants for the position of horticultural commissioner. R. K. Bishop passed the examination and was reappointed commissioner. Second, that three other deputies be appointed, one of them to be an office deputy and the office of the commissioner be kept open every week day instead of only two half days each week. Third, that the annual report of the horticultural commissioner be printed and distributed among the orange and lemon growers. Taylor Leaves County A case that promises an unusual sensation was begun in the superior court Tuesday. It started out as an action for $2,500 a month alimony by Minnie N. Taylor against Charles D. Taylor, who made $2,000,000 in the early development of Goldfield, with an incidental contention that $35,000 worth of Santa Ana property had been deeded away to a friend by Taylor to defeat Mrs. Taylor's efforts to secure maintenance. Taylor has failed to appear in the case, and it is understood has taken himself and his wealth to British Columbia, so that should alimony judgment be secured, the collecting of the alimony would be another matter. The action was commenced in 1910. Mrs. Taylor alleged cruelty and desertion by Taylor while the two were on a trip in Europe. The property was asserted to have been deeded to Russell T. Joy, a mining man, who made a gift of it to his daughter, Edith W. Murray of New York, without compensation, and on the order of the court it was turned over to a receiver. Taylor went to Oregon and got a divorce. On the showing of Mrs. Taylor that the decree was given without due notice to her, it was set aside and man and wife relationship legally restored. Joy and his daughter have put in an answer to the complaint, declaring that the property was bought by Joy from Taylor for $30,000. NEW SCHOOLS ARE PROPOSED Petitions Ask For Districts West of Orange and at Paularino County Superintendent of Schools Mitchell has received petitions for two new school districts. One petition asks for a new district west of the Santa Ana river in the section where the county farm is located. It is proposed to call the district Orangewood, and form it of territory taken from Orange, Katella and Garden Grove. Only that part of the Orange district west of the river will be included in the new district if the petition is granted by the Board of Supervisors when it comes up for hearing on February 4th. The second petition will be heard next Wednesday. It asks for a new school district at Paularino, the petitioners taking the name as it is spelled by the Southern Pacific for its station on the Newport Beach steam road and not as the old Spanish family, Pollorno, spelled the name. The petition asks that the new district be made of territory taken from Fairview and San Joaquin districts. Stanton residents are preparing to petition for a change of boundaries. They will ask that part of the Magnolia district and part of the Los Alamitos district be added to the Savanna district. It is then proposed to move the school from the present location of the Savanna school to the town of Stanton, and instead of a one-teacher school establish a school with two or more teachers in it.
