The spectacle of the Four Boulevardiers pledging Chief Boulevardier Talbert, at the board of supervisors' meeting the other day, a solid vote in their respective communities in favor of an additional half-million dollar bond issue for paved roads, when more than 80 per cent of the money would have been used upon the seashore boulevard projected through their localities, and when that region polls less than five per cent of the total vote of the county, presented a situation which must have been irresistibly funny. Bro. Wallace pledged the solid vote of Newport Beach, saying he could deliver every vote in the precinct except nine, which in some mysterious manner got away. Bro. Armitage pledged Sunset Beach solid, and Bro. Heffner pledged Huntington Beach the same way. Bro. Greeley pledged Balboa to a man for the bonds and heaps of shouting all around. In view of the fact that these coastline towns poll less than a thousand votes, and that in the opinion of engineers the coast boulevard will cost nearly if not quite all of the entire half million dollar bond issue, the gyrations of the four Boulevardiers seem to us inexpressibly droll. In addition to this, when it is further learned that the third supervisor district which pays 40 per cent of the "boggish proclivities" of our people, when they have so eminently filled the roll of the porcine quadruped when it comes to distribution of moneys for paved highways in this county. Further, if these seashore boulevardists know what is good for them they will put a halter on Bro. Wallace and his hocus-pocus, and act fairly toward the inland portions of this county. THE LONELY HOG AND DENS OF LIONS Brother Armitage of Sunset Beach who has been much in the limelight for two years past, with threatened injunction proceedings against the state highway commission, seeking to restrain it from constructing the state highway along lines through this county selected by the state commission, and latterly in the roll of a critic of the inland portions of this county, made the declaration at the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Yorba Linda on Friday evening that the people of this portion of the county were "hogs" in seeking to grab money for construction of paved highways in this section. Commissioner McFadden of this city, immediately replied to Bro. Armitage, by stating that at a recent meeting of the highway commission and the people of Huntington Beach, when members of the highway commission were dined in that city, Mr. Armitage made the request that all, or nearly all of the $246,000 surplus now in the hands of the highway commission be devoted to the construction of the coastwise boulevard. Bro. Armitage did not deny this charge, and it is known by every man in the county that Commissioner McFadden stated the plain unvarnished truth when he made the declaration. This was the first request made in MONEYS EXPENDED WAYS. Of the $1,000,000 allowance for highways in Orange lowing figures showing throughout the district will be of interest: District 2. Total monroads, $315,491.34. Total tution of district, $6,585 road constructed, 30.533 penditure compared with sed valuation, .47 14-10 per $100 of assessed District No. 3. Total ey expended, $325,171 seased valuation of de 825. Miles of road coated Per cent of expenditure assessed valuation .16 diture per $100 of asses 1.65. $30,000 of this for the pavement of the tween this city and C is not yet constructed. District No. 4. M roads $109,733.18. Tution $6,088,815. Mil structured 14.87. Per cent compared with assess 72-100. Expenditure pulation $1.80. District No. 5. Money $293,745.20. Total asses $15,270,295. Miles off ed 28.17. Per cent compared with assess 92-100. Expenditure seased valuation, $1.92. It will be seen that these moneys the boards have not permitted them to enact the roll of the contrary, quite the amount of money actually the third district, had three times the assess of shouting all around. In view of the fact that these coastline towns poll less than a thousand votes, and that in the opinion of engineers the coast boulevard will cost nearly if not quite all of the entire half million dollar bond issue, the gyrations of the four Boulevardiers seem to us inexpressibly droll. In addition to this, when it is further learned that the third supervisor district which pays 40 per cent of the taxes in Orange county, is given half a mile of paved highway out of the half million dollar bond issue, or 1 per cent of the total amount, the situation becomes at once so proprionously farcical that one has difficulty keeping his suspender buttons on in the right place. Orange county is at the present time in no mood for a further bond issue, as was plainly shown at the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Yorba Linda on Friday evening. We have heard a great deal of late about the desire of the board of supervisors to hear from the people about the majority and minority reports of the highway commission, and we have been told that if the Associated Chambers of Commerce voted to sustain Commissioner Newland in his minority report, a bond election for half a million dollars for the coast boulevard would certainly be called. If the board of supervisors really meant what their newspaper sponsors have attributed to them, they will proceed at once to carry out the recommendations of the majority report of the highway commissioners of this county, for they undoubtedly heard from the people at Yorba Linda in no uncertain or half-hearted manner. The Associated Chambers of Commerce went on record squarely in favor of sustaining the reports of Commissioners McFadden and Pixley, as they went on record squarely against the minority report of Commissioner Newland. If the board of supervisors are acting in good faith, and really meant what they said, they will proceed immediately to obey the mandate of the people, and will build the highways recommended by the Orange county highway commission. But here comes Bro. Wallace of Newport Beach again, setting himself up as a great parliamentarian, changing his vote from one side to the other, and seeking thus to defer action upon this important matter until the next monthly meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, when he as commission were dined in that city, Mr. Armitage made the request that all, or nearly all of the $246,000 surplus now in the hands of the highway commission be devoted to the construction of the coastwise boulevard. Bro. Armitage did not deny this charge, and it is known by every man in the county that Commissioner McFadden stated the plain unvarnished truth when he made the declaration. This was the first request made in public by the coast people for the lion's share of the surplus, and it was made before Commissioner Newland jumped, the traces bringing in his minority report for an additional $500,000 bond issue for construction of the shoreline boulevard. It occurs to us that if Bro. Armitage and his associate Boulevardiers could legally get their hands upon $160,000 of this surplus they would not permit the balance of $86,000 to get very far away. With $160,000 expended upon the coast boulevard, that highway would not be half built, and we believe the Boulevardiers would soon be making a desperate effort to get all that was loft of the surplus. Following the Huntington Beach meeting at which Commissioners McFadden and Pixley were taken somewhat by surprise, these gentlemen formulated their majority report of the highway commission from which Commissioner Newland dissented and brought in a minority report asking for an additional half million dollar bond issue. When the highway commission had their report under consideration, we are informed Mr. Newland refused to co-operate with his associates in anything excepting a large appropriation for the coast boulevard. When Commissioners McFadden and Pixley advised Mr. Newland that his district would be given $50,000 of the surplus for roads in his district he refused absolutely to designate such highway, preferring to stand for a coast boulevard or nothing. At the Associated Chambers of Commerce meeting at Yorba Linda on Friday evening Mr. Newland, who is personally a most excellent gentleman, lost his temper and went up into the air, declaring that he had been under the impression that he had been associated with fair-minded gentlemen on the highway commission but that he felt at last that he was like unto a lamb in a den of lions. In view of the fact that the $1,000,000 already expended upon Orange commission were dined in that city, Mr. Armitage made the request that all, or nearly all of the $246,000 surplus now in the hands of the highway commission be devoted to the construction of the coastwise boulevard.

But here comes Bro. Wallace of Newport Beach again, setting himself up as a great parliamentarian, changing his vote from one side to the other, and seeking thus to defer action upon this important matter until the next monthly meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, when he assures us he will give us another spiel upon the subject. The people of the county are in no mood to listen to any hocus-pocus proposition of this kind. They desire the highway system to be completed, along lines recommended by the highway commission, and they are getting mighty tired of the acrobatic contortions of the seashore Boulevarders. In our opinion, it would require more than half a million dollars to construct the coast boulevard a distance of 32 miles from Bay City to Serra, and with a bond issue of $500,000 pledged to the construction of that highway along the shoreline, it appears to us that not only would this half million dollar bond issue be taken for that road, but all, or nearly all, of the surplus of $246,000 now in the hands of the highway commission as well. More than all of this, the people of the county remember the threat of these coast line Boulevarders to bring injunction proceedings against the state highway commission, restraining it from constructing the state highway upon the Camino Real through this county, and insisting that the highway be constructed along the line of the seashore boulevard. The northern portion of Orange county recognizes these men as their enemies, and if the coast people ever desire any assistance from this section in voting bonds for a seashore boulevard they will have to recognize the claims of this section, put an end to their warfare against us, and desist from their interminable chatter about the At the Associated Chambers of Commerce meeting at Yorba Linda on Friday evening Mr. Newland, who is personally a most excellent gentleman, lost his temper and went up into the air, declaring that he had been under the impression that he had been associated with fair-minded gentlemen on the highway commission but that he felt at last that he was like unto a lamb in a den of lions. In view of the fact that of the $1,000,000 already expended upon Orange county highways Mr. Newland's district has had disbursed in it 47 per cent of the amount of its assessed valuation, while this district has had expanded 16 per cent of its assessed valuation; and that Mr. Newland now seeks $400,000 for the coast boulevard, while giving this district 1 per cent of the proposed additional bond issue it is difficult to perceive why Bro. Armitage should declare we are "hogs," and it is also difficult to perceive what kind of a lamb Mr. Newland showed himself to be in all these premises. Honor bright, now, who is the "hog" in all this business, the northern end of the county, which has not lhd its fair share of road moneys, or the coast boulevardists, who are apparently attempting to grab it all. There is more than $300,000 in bridge and road money lying in the vaults of a Santa Ana bank, which should be immediately used for the purpose for which this money was voted by the people. This includes the surplus of $246,000 in the hands of the highway commission, $30,000 set apart for paving the road from this city to Olive, and $30,000 for bridge fund voted four years ago. This should be expanded upon the roads and bridges of this county, where it was intended to be used when the people voted these bond issues. It is outrageous that this large sum of public money should be turned over to the uses of a county seat bank when the people of the county are calling loudly for bridges and paved highways.

Mr. Newland's min no supporters in this county. The moment MONEYS EXPENDED FOR HIGHWAYS Of the $1,000,000 already expended for highways in Orange county, the following figures showing its distribution throughout the districts of the county will be of interest: District 2. Total moneys expended on roads, $315,491.34. Total assessed valuation of district, $6,582,560. Miles of road constructed, 30.53. Percent of expenditure compared with total assessed valuation, .47 14-100. Expenditure per $100 of assessed valuation, $4.79. District No. 3. Total amount of money expended, $325,171.56. Total assessed valuation of district, $19,723.825. Miles of road constructed, 34.03. Per cent of expenditure compared with assessed valuation, .16 11-100. Expenditure per $100 of assessed valuation, $1.65. $30,000 of this sum was voted for the pavement of the Olive road between this city and Olive. The road is not yet constructed. District No. 4. Money spent on roads $109,733.18. Total assessed valuation $6,088,815. Miles of road constructed 14.87. Per cent of expenditure compared with assessed valuation, .17 72-100. Expenditure per $100 of valuation $1.80. District No. 5. Money spent on roads $293,745.20. Total assessed valuation $15,270,295. Miles of road constructed 28.17. Per cent of expenditure compared with assessed valuation, .18 92-100. Expenditure per $100 of assessed valuation, $1.92. It will be seen that in disburasing these moneys the board of supervisors have not permitted the third district to enact the roll of the "hog," on the contrary, quite the reverse. The amount of money actually expended in the third district, having more than three times the assessed valuation of the neighboring town. tune for voting another bond issue of half a million dollars for good roads at this time. Moreover, Mr.Newland gives the third supervisor district, which pays 40 per cent of the taxes, only half a mile of paved road in addition to the paved highways recommended by Commissioners McFadden and Pixley. This is altogether unfair, unjust and out of the question. He asks for construction of 32 miles of ocean front highway, which will cost not less than $400,000, and will probably cost a much larger sum. He does not improve his position by losing his temper, because people of this portion of the county do not take his program, and by declaring his convictions that he therefore feels like a lamb in a den of lions. Taxpayers in this part of the county do not favor his proposition, but will insist that the majority report of the highway commission shall be immediately taken up by the board of supervisors and acted upon. STATE DIVISION Petitions have been prepared and are in circulation in the north proposing a constitutional amendment to be voted on next year, changing the southern boundary of the state so as to exclude the eight southern counties. These counties are Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Imperial. Should this proposition get upon the ballot and be adopted by the people, these eight counties would be reduced to the status of a territory. Later they could apply to congress for admission as a state.

Per cent of expenditure compared with assessed valuation, 18-92-100. Expenditure per $100 of assessed valuation, $1.92. It will be seen that in disbursing these money the board of supervisors have not permitted the third district to enact the roll of the "hog," on the contrary, quite the reverse. The amount of money actually expended in the third district, having more than three times the assessed valuation of the second district, is in the neighborhood of $325,000, and the Olive road seems to be so well up in the air that it will take a Philadelphia lawyer to tell us when it will actually be built. The amount expended in this district per $100 of valuation is $1.65; while the amount similarly expended in the second district, is $4.79. Where is the "hog?" Four years ago $100,000 bridge bonds were voted, and we were promised the Olive bridge and Yorba bridge out of this money. Of this bond issue, $70,000 was immediately expended upon bridges in the southern end of the county. In the northern end the Yorba bridge has been altogether lost in the shuffle, and we are now assured the Olive bridge will not be completed. Again, where is the "hog?" In Mr. Newland's proposed additional half million dollar bond issue, the third district is given half a mile of paved road over and above allotted this district by Commissioners McFadden and Pixley, or 1 per cent. Mr. Newland's coast boulevard will require not less than $400,000 or 80 per cent, and we believe it will require much more money to complete it and build the necessary bridges. Once again, where is the "hog?" Bro. Armitage may be actuated by pure and high-minded motives when he denounces us as hogs, and Mr. Newland may be similarly minded when he declares he feels like a lamb in a den of lions, but we cannot for the life of us see how these two distinguished gentlemen came to this conclusion. How do they figure it? MR. NEWLAND'S MINORITY REPORT Commissioner Newland's minority report submitted to the board of supervisors which was published in these columns last week, was decisively rejected by the Associated Chambers of Commerce at the Yorba Linda meet. Prior to the ma Article IV, Sec. 3, subdivision 1 of the federal constitution is as follows: New states may be admitted by congress into this Union; but no new state shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state, nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned, as well as of congress. Initiative petitions asking for the submission of the proposed constitutional amendment are said to already have been signed by more than 4000 persons, but the petition peddlers still have a "long, long way to go." An initiative petition calling for a statewide vote must be signed by not less than 8 per cent of the total number of persons who voted for governor at the preceding election. At the November election 961,868 votes were cast for all candidates for governor, in order to get the constitutional amendment on the ballot the petition must be signed by not less than 76,950 registered voters. Citizens of Southern California will not sign this petition, because, having been framed in the North for the advantage of the North, it does not provide a division line that is acceptable to the South. Los Angeles county, will not permit Inyo and Mono counties, source of its water supply to remain in another state. Kern, Tulare, Kings, and San Luis Ozispoo counties, commercially, and in every other way, are identified with Southern California, and any plan that separates them from this part of the state will be opposed. The eight southern counties, not including the six others that naturally belong with this section, contain 36 per cent of the total number of voters in the state. It therefore would require that one-eighth of all the other voters in the state outside of the eight southern counties, and including the six counties that are in fact a part of the South, sign the petition to give it a place on the ballot. The northern exclusionists will have no easy task in securing a sufficient petition unless they start anew and draft another petition, the boundaries of which will be acceptable to the Southern counties. Even if they could secure a sufficient number of signatures to place the amendment on the ballot as it stands, there would be little likelihood of it securing a majority in the face of a solid vote against it in the South. If the Northerners really mean business, they will do well to consult with the people of the South and arrange a boundary line that will meet with the approval of those in this part of the state who would be willing to divide Article IV, Sec. 3, subdivision 1 of the federal constitution is as follows: New states may be admitted by congress into this Union; but no new state shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state, nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned, as well as of congress.

If the Northerners really mean business, they will do well to consult with the people of the South and arrange a boundary line that will meet with the approval of those in this part of the state who would be willing to divide Mr. Eygabroad's arguments were convincing; he maintaining that city should show a public spirit along these lines in order to attract home seekers who are now coming to Southern California. He forces a great future for Anaheim, and an energetic forward movement must be followed if we are to be classed as one of the progressive communities. This city is noted for its beautiful homes, and the maintenance of a centrally located park would be commendable. Our present city hall is inadequate, the speaker said: It needs enlargement and repairs. If we make repairs upon the old building, when finished what have we? Simply a made over structure. We want a park and civic center, he maintained, and Mr. Eygabroad wanted to be put on record as heartily favoring the committee's recommendation. In reference to the disposal of the present city hall property if such was desired, City Attorney Ames maintained that there was nothing in the deeds held by the city to prevent this being done. In one section of Mr. Ahlborn's resolution, it provides for a committee of five to co-operate and advise with our honorable city trustees. When Trustee Julius Schneider was asked his opinion in regard to this clause, he said he had been elected trustee by the people, and would not brook any dictation from outside sources. Trustee Stark, while he said he would not bore averse to receiving aid from the committee, he opined that too many committees, and too many suggestions availed nothing. He was MR. NEWLAND'S MINORITY REPORT Commissioner Newland's minority report submitted to the board of supervisors which was published in these columns last week, was decisively rejected by the Associated Chambers of Commerce at the Yorba Linda meeting on Friday evening. Both the majority report of Commissioners McFadden and Pixley, and the minority report of Mr. Newland were referred by the board of supervisors to the Associated Chambers of Commerce for an expression of opinion upon them by representatives of the various chambers of commerce of the county. The majority report was upheld by a vote of 16 to 8, while the minority report was rejected 17 to 7. Mr. Wallace's monkey business shall serve to stave off action by the board of supervisors upon the majority report of the highway commission on next Tuesday, he will be given another fight at the next meeting; but we hope the board of supervisors will be as good as their word, and having secured an expression from representative men of the county upon the question, which they requested, upon referring the matter to the Associated Chambers of Commerce, it is to be hoped they will proceed to business on Tuesday next, and call for the construction of roads recommended by the highway commission. Mr. Newland's minority report finds no supporters in this part of Orange county. The moment is not oppor- in securing a sufficient petition unless they start now, and draft another petition, the boundaries of which will be acceptable to the Southern counties. Even if they could secure a sufficient number of signatures to place the amendment on the ballot as it stands, there would be little likelihood of it securing a majority in the face of a solid vote against it in the South. If the Northerners really mean business, they will do well to consult with the people of the South and arrange a boundary line that will meet with the approval of those in this part of the state who would be willing to divide the state on proper terms. The water board did well in relecting W. T. Wallop as secretary of the company and R. J. McFadden as superintendent. These two young men are making good and are maintaining their respective positions well up at the head of the procession. Give them room and they'll wear diamonds. Boulevardphobists at Newport Beach threatened to recall Uncle Jasper Leck unless he knuckles down and takes the biligowater program. As Newport Beach had its own candidate for supervisor in the fifth district against Uncle Jasper, and that candidate was decisively defeated, it is not believed the sea gulls will have much influence with the Trustin man in their attempt to draw him over to a proposition which he does not favor. If they want a recall Uncle Jasper will probably give them a run for their bacon. Yorba Linda is a town which Bill Newland made famous. Sixty tons of Chinese eggs have been received in a shipment at San Francisco. Isn't that enough to make out California hens turn green with jealously? T. F. Perry is engaged in getting up a new city directory which promises to be a valuable piece of literature. It will be comprehensive and complete. Dr. Janss was opposed to the manner in which it was proposed to acquire this property. He wanted to know what had been asked for the individual holdings in that block. Was the prices right? He desired a more detailed report in regard to the matter. C. E. Jones was unalterably opposed to any more civic betterments of any kind. Taxes now are too high, he maintained, and so far as any more street paving was concerned along THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11 Wallop & Champion "Your Grocers" Quality Quantity and Courteous Treatment A good, clean stock of Fancy and Staple Groceries and Fresh Vegetables. We solicit your patronage. Prompt delivery. Pacific 157 Home 1381 aqreage property, he was against that first, last and all the time. Louis Bushard, while claiming he was not opposed to city improvements, said he was in favor of going carefully and not paying fancy prices for real estate, when just as good could be acquired for a great deal less money. He cited the price paid for the present site for the high school. That cost $20,000. A site on South Los Angeles street just as good, he maintained, could have been purchased for $5000. If that was sagacious, he was from the show-me state, and wanted to be enlightened. Mr. Gibbs—"I want to be put on record as a booster, and not a knocker. I am in favor of civic betterments. We must make our city attractive, and thus attract the home-seeker." J. J. Dwyer spoke in favor of a civic center. He wanted to see the people get together. The adjustment of our assessment is paramount, he maintained. By uniting the people much good can be accomplished. Mr. Dwyer went on record as being opposed to street paving along acreage property. "All that money goes out of town, and does us no good." Mr. Steward gave figures showing the prices agreed upon for the property in the civic center block. Property on the Los Angeles street side is quoted from $145 to $150 per front foot. Herman Stern was of the opinion that if the city intended buying land for a park, now is the time to act, as property is increasing all the time. Mr. Krause favored the civic center. We must help ourselves, if we want home seekers to settle within our midst. We must venture out a little. Let us be different from other towns and establish betterments that appeal to the stranger. He beloves this is a splendid time to build. Give em- Herman Stern was of the opinion that if the city intended buying land for a park, now is the time to act, as property is increasing all the time.

Let us be different from other towns and establish betterments that appeal to the stranger. He belloves this is a splendid time to build. Give employment to home people. "The Lord loveth a cheerful giver." And "a closed hand receives nothing." Should bonds be voted for the civic center, the committee desired to have embodied in their recommendations, should the present city hall property be sold, that the proceeds of that sale be applied to the liquidation of the bonded interest thus incurred. Attorney Ames maintained that the bond law would not allow this to be done. Bond buyers insist that proceedings relating to the sale of bonds be followed out to the letter. It must be specifically provided that a direct tax must be levied upon the city property to acquire money to pay the principal and interest. It must be stated how this money is intended to be raised, and the money thus acquired must be used for that specific purpose and no other. The bond buyers insist upon this, otherwise the bonds would not sell. Prof. Hauck took issue with the city attorney, claiming that the money derived from the sale of the city property, if such would transpire, would make the redemption of the bonds doubly secure. He argued that city moneys could be transferred from one fund to another to liquidate the city's indebtedness. That would seem fair and just. W. B. Allen and P. H. Krick were of like opinion. Other speakers made addresses for and against the civic center, and when a vote was asked for upon Mr. Ahlborn's resolution, a number voted in favor of it, but there was no vote cast against the resolution. The Anaheim City band rendered several fine selections during the evening. The band was pronounced a first class musical organization. A vote of thanks was extended the band for furnishing the music. The following resolution presented by Capt. J. F. Ahlborn was adopted: be it further Resolved, that a committee of 5 be appointed to co-operate and advise with our honorable board of city trustees in carrying out the wishes of the citizens in regard to the establishing of a civic center as above mentioned and aid them in every way possible to secure for our city such improvements, which shall reflect credit upon the integrity of our city trustees in their unselfish desire to serve the city and to command the admiration of patriotic citizenship. Resolved, that a committee of 40 be appointed in addition to the committee of 10 previously appointed, this committee to be known as the committee of 50, whose duty it will be to acquaint the citizens with the idea of a civic center and aid in carrying the project to a successful conclusion. ORANGE COUNTY From Orange county, practically during the year 1914, there have gone forward 4435 carloads of oranges and 366 carloads of lemons, a total of 4801 carloads of citrus fruit. The amount of revenue coming back from this crop amounts to about $4,000,000. The crop was gathered from an area of 20,605 acres. There are in the county 6,786 acres of non-bearing Valencia oranges. These, with the bearing oranges of this variety, will make the Valencias the largest crop of the county. This is a good deal like what the professor of English literature used to say when a young man read his essay to the class: "Very good for one so young." Orange county is one of the smallest in California, and one of the youngest, and paradoxical as it may seem, one of the richest. The county was organized March 11, 1889, and the land area is 795 square miles, or a little over half a million acres. The population at the present time is close to 65,000, and will soon reach that round number, while the county seat, Santa Ana boasts of a population of about 13,000. The county lies along A committee of advises with our offices. When Trustees was asked his this clause, he rejected trustee by not brook any sources.

The band was pronounced a first class musical organization. A vote of thanks was extended the band for furnishing the music. The following resolution presented by Capt. J. F. Ahlborn was adopted: Whereas, it appears according to information at hand that the creating of a civic center is for the best interest of our city, same solving the matter of a public park, the erection of a city hall and other civic buildings necessary for the carrying on of the city's business and. Whereas, the creating of such civic center will enhance the beauty of our city, aid in material upbuilding of same and provide for our city a convenient place to transact such business as the citizens are called upon to perform and at the same time permits of enjoying the privilege of a park in a most convenient and agreeable manner, and. Whereas, the committee appointed at the mass meeting of December 21, 1914 has secured options covering the library block at a most reasonable figure for the purpose of the aforementioned civic center, and Whereas, said library block is admirably suited for said civic center, being centrally located and also meeting in every respect the requirements of said civic center. Whereas, it appears that said civic center can be secured with the present income of the city without placing a further burden upon the taxpayer and considering the great benefits accruing toward the upbuilding of this city through the establishment of such civic center, be it therefore Resolved that this meeting heartily endorses the recommendations of said committee in favor of a civic center, Notice is hereby given by the undersigned Executor of the Will of Luise Amberg, deceased, to the creditors of, and all persons having claims against the said deceased, to exhibit the same with the necessary vouchers within four months after the first publication of this notice (which publication was first made on the 11th day of February, 1915) to the said Executor of the Will of said Luise Amberg, deceased, at the office of Weisel & Dutton, No. 104 East Center County, California, the same being the place for the transaction of the business of said estate in the County of Orange.
