ASK COMMISSION TO MODIFY REPORT SUPERVISORS REFUSED TO BE GUIDED BY THE PEOPLES' OPINION EXPRESSED AT YORBA LINDA RETURNED HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS' RECOMMENDATIONS WITH DEMAND FOR ALTERATIONS The expression of opinion by the peoples' representatives asked for by the board of supervisors at the meeting of the associated chambers of commerce at Yorba Linda six weeks ago, relative to the report of the highway commissioners, and the subsequent action to be taken by the board on these recommendations, appeared to have little weight with that body after all. The expression was so emphatic that there was no mistaking the sentiment of the people of Orange county on the subject. Of the 24 delegates present 16 voted for the adoption of the report submitted by Messrs McFadden and Pixley, and eight representatives of the ocean side section of the county opposed it. Notwithstanding this "expression of opinion" demanded by the supervisors the matter was held up for another month through the filibustering tactics of Lew Wallace of Newport Beach who desired to have another "expression of opinion" at the Balboa meeting a month later. and Mr. Mills declared that if the matter could be presented to the 20,000 voters of the county, 18,000 of them would sign the petition. The board took no action in the matter, preferring to stand by the decision of the district attorney. It was considered that tearing off the surface of the roads and putting on a new one would come under the head of repairs, and Mr. West had cited the state law declaring that the highway fund could not be used for that purpose. LEFFINGWEEL LEMON ORCHARD SOLD Property Supplied With Water to be Subdivided and Placed on Market One of the large cash acreage transactions in the past few months has been closed between C. W. Leffingwell as seller and Jacob Stern of the Stern Realty company as buyer. The land comprises 260 acres in the West La Habra district. The consideration is announced at $100,000, no part of which was trade. The property is now supplied with water and is ready for subdivision and planting. It is the intention of the buyer to place it upon the market at once, selling water stock with the various parcels. The acreage adjoins the widely known Leffingwell lemon orchard, one of the show tracts of East Whittler citrus district, and one of the large producers of the south. PUT BAN ON DILL PICKLE AND ICE CREAM CONE Serious Study of School Children Impeded by their Dyspeptic Tendencies Not satisfied with the abolition of the hot dog, dill pickle and ice cream 24 delegates present 16 voted for the adoption of the report submitted by Messrs McFadden and Pixley, and eight representatives of the ocean side section of the county opposed it. Notwithstanding this "expression of opinion" demanded by the supervisors the matter was held up for another month through the filibustering tactics of Lew Wallace of Newport Beach who desired to have another "expression of opinion" at the Balboa meeting a month later. At this meeting Mr. Wallace postponed discussion of the question for another month because of the lateness of the hour. The majority report signed by Commissioners McFadden and Pixley, was considered a just and equitable division of the $246,000 surplus money in the hands of the highway commission by two-thirds of the members of the associated chambers, but Commissioner Newland dissented and offered a minority report asking for half a million dollars for a coast boulevard, the same to be raised by a bond issue. Messrs. McFadden and Pixley recommended paving the following roads: Riverside road, Olive to Riverside county line, 11.42 miles; cost $66,000. Placentia-Yorba road, 5.40 miles; Placentia to Riverside road; cost $40,000. Santiago boulevard, 5.85 miles; Olive to El Modena; cost $41,000. Yorba Linda road, 2.50 miles; Yorba Linda to Olive road; cost $20,000. La Habra road, .75 miles; La Habra to state road; cost $6,000. Stanton road, 2.25 miles; to connect sections 1 and 2 of A. S. C. road; cost $19,000. El Toro road, 1.12 miles; El Toro to state road; cost $9,500. Newport avenue road, 1.85 miles; to connect state road with 17th street Santa Ana; cost $14,000. Irvine boulevard, .75 miles; Newport avenue running southeast; cost $6,000. First street, Tustin, .40 miles; from Prospect avenue to Newport avenue; cost $3,000. Main street, Tustin, .50 miles; cost $4,000. Fairview road, 1.50 miles; Greenville southerly; cost $11,500. Total mileage, 34.29. Total cost, $240,000. Notwithstanding Mr. Wallace's filibustering tactics the question of considering the highway commissioners' recommendations confronted the supervisors at last Wednesday's session. Whittler citrus district, and one of the large producers of the south. PUT BAN ON DILL PICKLE AND ICE CREAM CONE Serious Study of School Children Impeded by their Dyspeptic Tendencies Not satisfied with the abolition of the hot dog, dill pickle and ice cream cone, whose dyspeptic tendencies were found to disagree with serious study, the Oakland board of education has taken a further step toward rearing a race of supermen with the issuance of a list of stringent regulations for school cafeterias. School children who formerly waxed fat on the nutritive fabric of hot dog calories and dill pickle proteins are expected to become giants, mentally and physically when these rules are followed: Food must be 100 per cent chemically pure. Rigid inspection to be made of its sources. School cafeteria employees must show a healthy certificate. Effects of meals on children must be closely watched. Henceforth the school cafeterias will make no effort toward showing a profit, and no expense will be spared in serving meals of the highest nutrive quality. PEACOCK RAISING Peacock raising has been taken up at Hayward as a paying industry by a number of up-state farmers. The birds are in considerable demand for houses with large grounds, where they are considered as a great addition to the landscape. The birds bring a big price and are not any harder to raise than any other fowl. The market for them is confined to wealthy men with large estates, which the lordly birds with the wonderful spread of tall feathers are considered to grace. Hayward poultry raises state that at least a score of their number have started peafowl raising this spring.

Fairview road, 1.50 miles; Greenville southerly; cost $11,500. Total mileage, 34.29. Total cost, $240,000. Notwithstanding Mr. Wallace's fill-bustering tactics the question of considering the highway commissioners' recommendations confronted the supervisors at last Wednesday's session. Chairman Talbert announced when the matter was brought up that there was but one action the board could take on this report—it must either be rejected or adopted. Supervisor Schumacher made the same statement and moved that the majority report be adopted and the roads paved as recommended. There was no second to Mr. Schumacher's motion, but Supervisor Leck's motion that the report be referred back to the highway commission for alterations was seconded by Struck and carried, Schumacher voting no. Previous action on the commissioners' report the opinion of District Attorney West relative to the disposition of the surplus fund was read. He stated that the fund cannot be used on the coast boulevard, a road which did not now exist, neither could it be used for repairs on roads already completed and accepted. Notwithstanding this opinion Measrs. Mills and Jackson, representing the Taxpayers' League, made strenuous arguments in favor of using the surplus money in re-surfacing the roads already constructed with asphalt similar to that used on the city streets of the county. They cited that alterations had been made in the canyon road after its completion, and declared that to be a precedent which could be followed by the supervisors on the other roads of the county despite the opinion of the district attorney. Mr. Jackson presented a petition signed by more than 800 persons sanctioning his ar- MARCH 20th ORANGE DAY Governor Johnson has issued the following proclamation commending to the people of California the observance of Orange day, Saturday, March 20: "No place on earth has developed in higher degree the citrus industry than California. In a state richer than any other in fertility and productivity the culture of citrus fruit has become one of our greatest sources of beauty and wealth, and the value of the citrus industry to us is almost impossible of estimation, while the future possibilities are limitless. It is appropriate that in festival spirit we pay tribute to such an important source of happiness and wealth and material welfare. "The citizens of our great southland desire to celebrate on a particular day this industry, which has contributed in such generous measure to the prosperity of our state, and in accordance with the numerous requests made of me, as chief executive of California, I commend to our people observance of such a day and do hereby designate for appropriate celebration Saturday, the 20th day of March, 1915, as Orange day." FOR EXCHANGE Good, clear, cheap unimproved average in San Bernardino county. Alfalfa and fruit land for clear city property. Eastern considered. Also 20 acres near Stanton, Cal. Dark sandy loam, Oranges, walnuts, apricots near by. To exchange for apartment house, business block, or city income. Eastern city or ranch considered if clear. Please list your property with me.

The matter was discussed at a meeting of the associated chambers held in Judge Thomas' courtroom. J. A. Armitage of Sunset Beach presided. Prof. Baldwin of San Diego, who is in charge of the educational exhibits at the two expositions, for Southern California, explained that at the Palace of Education in San Francisco moving pictures will be shown for twelve hours a day throughout the year, and that this county's high school could have one film run without cost. The only expense would be taking the pictures. The speaker said that Imperial county had spent $1,000 in taking its pictures. Pictures were also shown of farm products and cattle. The plan was endorsed by the associated chambers, and a committee then went before the supervisors where Prof. Baldwin again explained the plan. The supervisors agreed to stand bills of not over $500. Principal Delbert Brunton of Fullerton said that the film would cost probably 20 or 25 cents a foot. Principal Johnstone of Orange said that the individual schools might make appropriations for additional films. The bills will be paid by the supervisors on the O. K. of County Superintendent of Schools Mitchell. Arrangements are to be made at way commission for alterations. The report of the highway commission on the excess of approximately $240,000 remaining from the money realized from the good roads bond issue, after completing the system, as amended, was approved, adopted and ordered filed. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IS WEALTHY Eight Southern California counties have property that is worth more than two billion dollars, its assessed valuation being $1,169,982,150. Five years ago the valuation was $751,865,113, which shows the remarkable increase of more than $417,000,000. Here are the figures: County 1915 1910 Los Angeles $849,931,595 $535,400,559 San Diego ... 75,866,723 44,195,174 S. Bernardino 63,345,022 49,895,897 Orange ... 54,546,951 30,597,532 S. Barbara ... 34,496,827 31,185,290 Riverside ... 34,005,677 26,925,831 Ventura ... 30,971,729 25,516,650 Imperial ... 25,757,829 21,148,180 These figures are brought out by the assessors of the counties named who were in conference in Los Angeles regarding uniformity of assessment. At this conference Senator Thompson of Alhambra explained his amendment to the tax laws of the state which he declared was designed solely to remedy defects in constitutional amendment No. 1 under which state taxes are acquired at the present time. The law now in effect he characterized as "unworkable," primarily because its provisions of taxing corporations do not afford sufficient funds for the needs of the state and at the same time relieve individuals of the tax burden. The new measure, he said, contemplates the creation of a commission of three men to have control of state, county and municipal taxes, but not to be vested with such authority as would tend to interfere with local administration. The principal object of this, the speaker said, is to establish a uniformity of taxation not now in force throughout the state. Rates thus fixed by the commission would apply in blanket form throughout the entire state. the plan. The supervisors agreed to stand bills of not over $500. Principal Delbert Brunton of Fullerton said that the film would cost probably 20 or 25 cents a foot. Principal Johnstone of Orange said that the individual schools might make appropriations for additional films. The bills will be paid by the supervisors on the O. K. of County Superintendent of Schools Mitchell. Arrangements are to be made at once for taking the pictures. The associated chambers of commerce committee to have charge of the taking of the film are F. C. Krause for Anaheim high school, R. D. Richards for Huntington Beach high school, Principal Brunton for Fullerton high school, W. O. Hart for Orange high school and Principal E. H. McMath for Santa Ana high school. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Demands on the county of Orange were allowed as read. The clerk was directed to advertise for sale the $70,000 issue of 6 per cent Huntington Beach school bonds, bids to be opened March 16, 1915, at 11 a.m. At the meeting of the board of supervisors held on March 2nd, the clerk was directed to advertise for bids for the improvement of Section 2, Anaheim-Olive road, bids to be opened March 16, 1915, at 2 p.m. The application of the trustees of Anaheim storm water district for the payment of the expenses of the district prior to disincorporation, was denied. The county surveyor with W. J. Renshaw, engineer, were directed to prepare an estimate on the Anaheim-Olive bridge on March 3, 1915. The demand of the Modjeska country club was allowed as read. Supervisor Leck was given permission to spend in excess of $200 for the construction of a culvert at the mouth of Salt creek.

HARD LINES FOR BELGIAN GIRLS In the Anaheim sanitarium, acting as a nurse, is a young girl who came from Belgium just before the war broke out. She had but one friend in this country, a young woman who had made good as a nurse in the Anaheim hospital and is now at Fullerton in the same capacity. The younger girl came to this country and to this coast to be with her friend and take training in the same profession. Immediately after she left Europe the war broke out and she has not been able to hear one word from her relatives since she left home. She is sure her brothers are in the army, but how they and the other members of her family are faring, she has no means of knowing. Meanwhile, in the few months she has been here, she has learned to speak our language quite well and has made such good use of her opportunities for improvement that she is filling a place in the hospital very satisfactorily. When we are inclined to take a dismal view of our condition and prospects, we might give a thought to this brave girl, a stranger in a strange land, who is faithfully doing her chosen work, with no word from the loved ones at home to assure her of their safety and stimulate and encourage her in her irksome labors—Orange Post.

MAKE A RESOLUTION TO SAVE The foundation of thousands of fortunes which people are enjoying today were laid in the frugal habits of fathers and grandfathers. Nine-tenths of the criticism directed against those who by industry and frugality have made a success of life comes from people who never learned the lesson of self-denial or saving. Many a family suffered for life's necessities this winter simply because of wastefulness during the summer. The sin of extravagance is not confined to any one class; rich and poor alike are guilty, the poor paying for it most dearly. Let children be taught that there are good uses for their penniles. Let servants be shown the necessity of saving in the kitchen. Let every one rich and poor alike acquire this lost habit of our fathers. No nation can expect to be permanently prosperous whose people are as rocklessly wasteful as we have been the past two decades. DENTIST 106 E. Center Street Anaheim, Cal. Sunset 364 F. C.
