It is not right that this large sum of money should be taken from the public treasury for additional paved roads in the second district, and citizens of the third district will enter emphatic protest to taking moneys away from construction of paved roads in this district and applying the same to paved highways in the second district which has had already appropriated to it more money than should honestly have been apportioned to it.

It will be seen that the amount of money already expended in the second supervisor district is proportionately much larger than that expended in any other district in the county. It is proportionately three times the amount of that expended in the third district, which pays 40 per cent of the county's taxes. When Commissioner Newland proposed an additional bond issue of half a million dollars, at least 80 per cent of which should be devoted to construction of the coast boulevard, and Charman Talbert referred the matter to the associated chambers of commerce, that body voted 17 to 7 against the proposition. The associated chambers of commerce also voted 16 to 8 in favor of adopting the majority report of Commissioners McFadden and Pixley. Chairman Talbert has apparently gone off on another tack. He now asks $50,000 for additional roads in his district, and the supervisors seem disposed to grant him that amount. Whether this amount shall be taken from the current expense fund, or from the surplus now in the hands of the highway commission, matters little to him, but it is a question of supreme importance to the taxpayers of Orange Mr. and Mrs. J.

The report of the Orange County Dry Federation recently published, shows that the association collected, principally during the campaign, $5,982.89, and disbursed $5,964.69 up to Jan. 1. A demurrer in the case of Barba vs Pressel has been overruled in the superior court and the defendant given ten days in which to answer. Barba is claiming damages for injuries received when Pressel's car bumped into his buggy on the Buena Park road some weeks ago. Several men last week were engaged in throwing up an embankment, extending from the east bank of the river, about half a mile above the Olive bridge, out into the stream for a considerable distance. It was said that this was done so as to divert the water from the east side of the river. This would afford the bridge builders a better opportunity to work on the eastern approach it was said, where the most activity in bridge building is now being carried on. Some citizens redding east of town wondered if the building of this levee in the river was just exactly the right thing to do, as it may have a tendency to throw the bulk of the water onto the west bank of the river.

MILLS Anaheim, Cal., Feb. 16, 1915 Orange County Highway Commission, Santa Ana, Cal., Gentlemen: In your letter of Jan. 25, to the Tax-payers League are found some startling statements, followed by more startling conclusions. I take the liberty to call your attention to some of these. You quote from Mr. Fletcher of the State Highway Commission, "the original cost of a 1 1/2 or 2 inch asphalt surface is approximately 6 cents per square foot and that under ordinary conditions there will be but little cost for maintenance for the first five years, but after that period the surface will require attention from time to time in patching and applying seal coats and that when the road needs a new surface it will doubtless be found that the maintenance cost has been in excess of 2 1/2 cents per square yard per year. Now as a matter of fact the asphalt showing that it will not stand up under the traffic. You ask, "Then where would the taxpayer get off?" If the heavier traveled sections of roads in the county had been covered with the asphalt he would have gotten off with a good durable road with probably much less expense at the end of 40 years. With no intention of giving offense I would suggest that the essay reading be supplemented by personal inspection of roads that have stood the test of wear and if these roads show wearing qualities at variance with the essays that you give the preference to such roads. For long sections of lighter traveled roads the oil-gravel surface well applied, will probably answer. However, it is little short of criminal, to continue to use this surface on the heavier traveled roads to be built, while those already so covered should be recovered with the asphalt surface. Respectfully yours, A. A. MILLS. SAN BERNARDINO ORANGE SHOW their industry. The exposition cost $150,000 to build.

FOUL MURDER COMMITTED ON WHITTIER ROAD Fruit Peddler Slain By Having Head Battered In by Axe, Partner Taken Into Custody Joe Cohen, a fruit peddler, was murdered on the Whittier road sometime Wednesday night, and Sam Goldman, a partner, has been arrested as the murderer. Goldman declares that while he and Cohen were on their way to Los Angeles they were held up and Cohen had been killed by two highwaymen who appeared in an automobile. When Goldman arrived at his place of residence in Los Angeles officers who went to interrogate him found an axe with a blood-stained handle in his wagon besides discovered splotches of blood on his clothing. He was then detained. A resident of Fullerton returning Now as a matter of fact the asphalt covering put on the state highway between Ananeim and Santa Ana cost but 3 cents per square foot or $3000 per mile of 18 feet in width. These gorges were given me by Mr. Brown of the State Engineering department, and he had immediate charge of the work. So you see Mr. Fletcher's own man had the work done for just one-half of the cost given in the quotation. As to the wearing qualities of asphalt surface. The city of Analeim put in some paving on both Los Angeles and Center streets just 6 years ago with this class of covering. The traffic on this has been exceedingly heavy and severe, and the covering is practically as good today as when it was laid and it has cost nothing for repairs. Last fall the city put in a culvert on North Los Angeles street where there was a "dip" and in order to do this is was necessary to remove part of the covering and it required the labor of several men for days to cut a niche or 10 inches wide across the street through the asphalt surface. Either the Analeim pavement did not know enough to wear out in the specified time or else the estimates of the life of this covering as given in the quotation are in error. On East Center street the covering put on under the direction of the County Highway Commission less than a year ago has already been patched once and is now badly in need of repairs, as there are large patches entirely bare and more serious than this whole covering is wearing in ruts, or traveled roads the oil-gravel surface well applied, will probably answer. However, it is little short of criminal, to continue to use this surface on the heavier traveled roads to be built, while those already so covered should be recovered with the asphalt surface. Respectfully yours, A. A. MILLS. SAN BERNARDINO ORANGE SHOW SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 17.—The Fifth National Orange Show opened here tonight with 20,000 people passing in review of California's great citrus fruit harvest. The exposition will continue until Wednesday night of next week. Among the 5,000,000 specimens of citrus fruit, from which the gorgeous exposition is constructed, are fruits from practically every citrus community in the state, including northern and southern California. The ceremonies of the opening included brief addresses by the leading citrus fruit men of the state, which is this year producing $35,000,000 in oranges and lemons. In addition to the great array of fruit entered in competition for the world's prizes, are scores of big designs, moulded from oranges and lemons to tell the story of every detail of the industry, and the outdoor life of California. On Monday, February 22, the tenth anniversary of the Washington's navel orange will be celebrated at the exposition. Moving pictures are being taken to be used in the advertising campaign for California Orange Day, March 20. The exposition is set out in a garden of orange trees and flowers. The opening tonight was the climax of six months of work by the citrus fruit men, who built the gorgeous attraction that is dazzling in its effect to advertise the beauties and riches of while he and Cohen were on their way to Los Angeles they were held up and Cohen had been killed by two high-waymen who appeared in an automobile. When Goldman arrived at his place of residence in Los Angeles officers who went to interrogate him found an axe with a blood-stained handle in his wagon besides discovered splotches of blood on his clothing. He was then detained. A resident of Fullerton returning from Los Angeles that night came upon the body of Cohen lying by the roadside. Two men who were there with Goldman at the time requested him to notify the officers, claiming the murderers had escaped. Goldman and his partner recently bought a team of horses in this city. Mrs. Della Norton of Santa Ann, was visiting friends in this city last week. A final account, report of executor and petition for distribution of estate has been entered in the matter of the estate of Mrs. Clementina Langenberger. Ben Ter Beat has his new dwelling on West street nearly completed, and already has had a chance to dispose of the same at a nice profit. Ben is not disposed at this time to sell, but may later on, as he says he has a hankering to own a small ranch of 15 or 20 acres and may some day branch out to be a full-fledged farmer.
