ARGUES AGAINST CITY HALL BONDS ALEXANDER HENRY TAKES HIS PEN IN HAND AND MAKES A FEW REMARKS FAVORS THE CIVIC CENTER PROPOSITION AND OPPOSES THE PROPOSED BOND ISSUE Anaheim, Cal., Dec. 14th, 1915 Editor Gazette: As an old resident of this city, having known every one of the original settlers of the Mother Colony in person, and one who lived here almost from the very beginning, sharing the hardships of the early days, the disappointments and the ups and downs of this colony to the present day, I feel that I must say a few words concerning the welfare of our beautiful city at this time. I hope that you will perme me a little space in your valuable paper that I may address my fellow citizens upon a question which is very important to the future development of the city of Anaheim. The citizens will be called upon on Friday, December 17, to decide whether or not bonds shall be issued to the amount of $30,000 for the purpose of erecting a city hall therefore. This is a most momentous question and it will mean a great deal more than just the issuing of bonds to the extent of $30,000 and erecting a city hall in the same old place. This really means the continuous growth of Anaheim or the retarding and crippling of same. I am sure that every citizen in this fair city of our wants the city to continue to grow at the present rate, and I am certain that every citizen will do what is for the best interest of the city. Some time ago, a mass meeting was called to consider the advisability of lines, and Main street, the next best street after Fourth street, developed last. What then is the proper solution of our city hall? Why, my fellow citizens it is easy to solve. Do what other progressive cities are doing. Combine your civic buildings and your park into one grand show place, that is a civic center. Our beautiful library is located just where it should be located, on the state highway, where all the tourists and homeseekers pass the whole year around. It is a credit to our city and centrally located. Why not place the city hall on the other corner of the block facing the state highway and make the rest of the five acres into a beautiful park. It will make Anaheim the goal for every homeseeker in California, who comes this way. It will be the means of doubling our population in a short time. It will bring people from the East, who have enough to keep them for the rest of their days, and who are looking for a pleasant home-like, inviting progressive community to sepend the rest of their days in peace. Thousands upon thousands will pass by annually and our city will be known as the City Beautiful. If we vote for a city hall on the present site, the matter of a park still confronts us. Shall we then go to work and buy a park site away from the center of our city, where hardly anybody will go to enjoy it, because it is too far away? A park located to one side, will not be used, will be expensive to keep up and as an advertisement will be a total loss. It will be a "white elephant", costly but useless. Why not combine all in one, where the people can have access to it without trouble, where we can go and read a book from the library, can have our band concert, take the stranger, the homeseeker, the visitor, our friends and go there ourselves and listen in comfort to the beautiful strains of music by our incompatible hand. This kind of an investment will pay and will not be expensive in upkeep. Have you ever gone up and down our streets and interviewed the men who are investing $20,000, $30,000, or even $40,000, like our friend John Ziegler? Ask John Cassou, ask Yungbluth, ask Fisher, who have faith in the city and who have shown it by investing their Secretary of State. Whether sample party will have to has not yet been ed. If all the state, acting upon pleas expressed when they gave measures an overtake the same liabilities, as seems likely to be called, thus dollars to the tax.

This really means the continuous growth of Anaheim or the retarding and crippling of same. I am sure that every citizen in this fair city of ours wants the city to continue to grow at the present rate, and I am certain that every citizen will do what is for the best interest of the city. Some time ago, a mass meeting was called to consider the advisability of building a city hall at the present site and consider the matter of parks. The mass meeting appointed a committee to look into the matter, investigate and recommend. The committee after investigating most thoroughly, after considering six different sites for park purposes, looked into the cost of repairing the old city hall and considering the building of a new city hall, reported to the mass meeting the results of its careful investigation. The committee recommended to the mass meeting the advisability of creating a civic center, as the best means of safeguarding the future development of our city. This report was unanimously adopted and a committee of fifty of our best and leading citizens was appointed to lay the matter before the city council. The council however did not look with favor upon the proposition, as the proposition of the city hall as first proposed by the council, seemed to interest that body only, notwithstanding that a strong committee, composed of property holders, heavy tax payers, bankers, merchants and farmers advocated the civic center, as being the proposition best for the city of Anaheim. As a member of the committee of fifty, I investigated the matter in an unbiased manner and I tried to look at it from the standpoint of a citizen who only seeks the welfare of his city at large and not any particular portion of it. I do not want to find fault with any member of the city council, as far as they are personally concerned, because I am on friendly terms with every last one of them, but when it comes to their official acts in relation to calling this election for a $30,000 bond issue for a city hall, to be erected upon the old site, I must most emphatically differ with them. Every citizen in Anaheim knows that when I have something to say, I say it, so everybody who wants to hear can hear, and my name always appears in full under any article and under anything I have to say. Yes, fellow citizens, I am for improvements at all times, but not for improvements any place and in any old way. When I vote for an improvement, I want it to be in the right place and I want it done in the right way; so that our light is not hidden and it will reflect credit upon our city. I am a tax payer, and a property owner, and I believe that everybody who votes to increase the public debt should be a property holder and a taxpayer. The California deciduous fruit season closed on December 2 with the shipment of three cars of grapes, bringing the season's total for all fruits to 15,778 cars. Last year's total was 16,146½ cars, the last car of grapes going east on December 5, 1914. The shipments for 1915 exceeded those of 1914 by 631 3-4 cars. The grape shipments have been the heaviest of any season in the history of the industry, being 787 cars more than last year, when the grape shipments exceeded those of previous years. This kind of an investment will pay and will not be expensive in upkeep. Have you ever gone up and down our streets and interviewed the men who are investing $20,000, $30,000, or even $40,000, like our friend John Ziegler? Ask John Casson, ask Yungbluth, ask Fisher, who have faith in the city and who have shown it by investing their money. How do they stand on the civic center proposition as against the present proposition? Did they not all and everyone of them endorse the civic center as being the best proposition for this city? Ask Nagel, ask Strothoff, people who have shown their faith in this city of ours by erecting modern business blocks. Ask the farmers, ask John Dwyer, ask Allen, these men who live on the outskirts of the city and who pay heavy taxes on their acreage and do not expect to receive and do not receive any direct benefit from the bond issues for downtown improvements; every last one of them has decreed in favor of the civic center as against the present proposition. These are men of vision and unbiased. Should we not listen to these men? Some have said that a civic center is too expensive and we cannot get it, so let us be satisfied with what we can get. My fellow citizens, do not be deceived with such talk. The people of Anaheim will back every good thing. If you can show them that they are getting their money's worth. The civic center proposition is by far the cheapest of the two and the most useful, and beneficial for the city. The city bought the Hart property for $8,500 and did not ask for bonds, $14,787.37 was paid for intersection work out of the general fund and no bonds necessary. Did you know that you can carry a $100,000 bond issue, which will take care of park, city hall and fire hall for $8,500 per annum, principal and interest. Vote for a greater, more beautiful Anaheim, a city of more beautiful homes, a park, a civic center, by voting NO on Friday next. I thank you. ALEXANDER N. HENRY.

I am a tax payer, and a property owner, and I believe that everybody who votes to increase the public debt should be a property holder and a taxpayer. I want to appeal to every taxpayer and voter, to vote NO on the proposition of a $30,000 bond issue for a city hall in the present place. Do we want to hide our light under a bushel and erect the city hall where no stranger passing through our city will see it? Why not keep pace with the other city improvements that have been made by interprising private citizens. Why not have faith in our city and build something that will help the upbuilding of our city, instead of building something that will be a detriment, rather than a benefit. Have you ever noticed the effect of a city hall upon business development? If not, take a trip to Los Angeles and see how fast business is trying to get away from the city hall. Go to Santa Ana and notice that all other side streets developed first along business the shipment of three cars of grapes bringing the season's total for all fruits to 15,778 cars. Last year's total was 16,146% cars, the last car of grapes going east on December 5, 1914. The shipments for 1915 exceeded those of 1914 by 631-3-4 cars. The grape shipments have been the heaviest of any season in the history of the industry, being 787 cars more than last year, when the grape shipments exceeded those of previous years. The continued good weather until late in the season made the heavier shipments possible. Peaches and pears are the only two fruits that show heavier shipments in 1914, when 455 cars more peaches and 79 cars more pears were shipped. There were 39 cars more cherries, 10 cars more apricots, and 318 cars more plums shipped this year than last.

E. J. HARTUNG, City Treasurer. Anaheim, Cal., Dec. 14, 1915. CITIZENS, TAXPAYERS, WAGE EARNERS OF CALIFORNIA Your public interest and your private pocketbooks are directly and adversely affected by the Federal government's avowed intent to seize privately developed wells representing approximately one-third the entire oil production of this state; and this at a time when the production is 1,000,000 barrels a month less than the actual sales. Consummation of the government's confiscation plans means virtual elimination of the independent producer from the California oil fields. The government's attack is not made in the name of conservation. The conservation problem is not involved in this issue since it deals with lands already developed and therefore beyond the reach of conservation. The government brings no charge nor suggestion of fraud against the Californians who have developed the oil fields—whose courage and energies have given this state one of its greatest industries; made manufacturing a possibility in California. Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan. Whether sample ballots for each party will have to be mailed to voters has not yet been definitely determined. If all the county clerks of the state, acting upon the will of the people as expressed at the last election, when they gave Johnson's no-party measures an overwhelming defeat, take the same course as Clerk Williams, as seems likely, an extra session of the legislature will not have to be called, thus saving thousands of dollars to the taxpayers of the state. 9 a.m. To morrow DOORS OPEN OWING TO THE UNPRECEDENTED RUSSIA SATURDAY, MANY CUSTOMERS WERE OF A SHORTAGE OF CLERKS, BUT AMOLED BE ON HAND TO ATTEND TO WANTS.

The government brings no charge nor suggestion of fraud against the Californians who have developed the oil fields—whose courage and energies have given this state one of its greatest industries; made manufacturing a possibility in California. The government has officially stated through its principal spokesmen that the claims of the California oil men are just and honest. It insists, however, upon taking technical advantage of a judge-made law given nearly six years after the establishment of the great oil industry and the industries which depend upon it. The activities of the government have curtailed production. The storage supply of oil in California is rapidly diminishing. Gasoline, illuminating, road and lubricating oils have advanced sharply in price. Countries have lost tax revenues. Wage earners have been deprived of their employment. You taxpayers, wage earners, consumers of oil, gas and oil products have been penalized and no public interest has been conserved; no public good can be accomplished thereby. If the government's confiscatory program is carried out, the prices of oil, gas and all other oil products, some of which have already advanced from 10 per cent to 25 per cent, necessarily will be greatly increased. Only Congress can give California and her citizens the relief they are entitled to. The Oil Industry Association is a voluntary association of consumers and producers, business men, professional men, mechanics, all vitally interested in California. It was organized to enable the people of California to present their case to Congress. Will you help this association help you and California?

LONG SESSION AND MUCH TROUBLE There are a thousand predictions to be heard as to what congress will do. But no one has yet had the courage to declare that it will adjourn before the nominating conventions are held. In fact, many people are doubtful if an adjournment can be had much before election day.

The program of subjects to be submitted is long and varied and it contains no question upon which there is substantial agreement in any material detail. Perhaps a reasonable preparedness comes nearer to commanding a big majority than any other matter, but it yet remains to be determined what a reasonable preparedness is. Certainly the plan proposed by the president is not so accepted. There is even wider divergence of opinion as to the means of securing revenue to pay for even a reasonable preparedness and to care for the deficit in the treasury which the democrats, as usual, have produced. Secretary McAdoo's scheme for augmented direct taxes is meeting with scanty favor. The issue of bonds is an abhorrent thought. An upward revision of the tariff is a sulcidal proposition, from a democratic standpoint. The administration's ship purchase bill will be a gusty storm center for many a day. Conservative democrats will oppose it as subversive to all the traditional policies of Jefferson and the fathers. The La Follette seamen's law is to be singled out for attack. The report of the Walsh industrial relations commission will be a target. The rural credits bill, no matter what is form, must run a gauntlet of severe criticism. The Colombian and the Nicaraguan treaties, together with the remaining pacts for peace bequeathed by Mr. Bryan, will occupy much time in the senate. The troubles here enumerated are exclusively democratic. The republican motto is, "I should worry." This does not mean that the republicans will remain inactive. On the contrary, the minority in each branch is determined to lose no opportunity to demonstrate to the country the insptitude of the democratic party. Republicans will be ready with well thought out suggestions on every topic that is likely to arise. They will have a comprehensive plan for national defense, based upon the opinions of the mill-tary and naval experts whom Mr. Wilson has disregarded. They will suggest relief for the treasury along lines which experience has shown to be wise and beneficent. They will offer a shipping bill which will possess merit. They will, in all matters, show themselves to be statesmen and patriots. The only way in which republicans could possibly aid in shortening the session would be by accepting whatever the White House shall decide upon regarding all important legislation. Doubtless Mr. Wilson can find enough democrats, who added to the entire republican membership, would make a majority in both the house and senate. But he certainly cannot find an enthusiastic majority, made up exclusively of democrats, for any of his plans. Accordingly, the length of the session will depend upon how long it takes Mr. Wilson to whip his party into line—if that is possible—or to determine that he must accept republican suggestions along with republican votes if any of his program is to be saved. The responsibility for a long session therefore, is with the democrats.

Car dealers generally can increase the satisfaction of customers and avoid possible causes of complaint by following a few simple rules. When cars are received from the manufacturer they may have been many days in transit without having the batteries charged. The dealer should always test the batteries on receipt with a hydrometer syringe and, if the specific gravity is found to be too low, should see that they are recharged. Sometimes cars remain on the show room floors for a considerable period and may be used for frequent demonstration of the starter, which, of course tends to exhaust the batteries. Where this is the case the dealer should be careful to run the motor long enough to restore the battery to its normal condition. Mr. Bevillard, manager of the factory branch of the Willard Storage Battery company in this city believes that it would also be a great advantage to car dealers if they would instruct all customers in the importance of storage batteries and the necessity of keeping them at all times fully charged and filled with distilled water. The Willard company has published several books on the subject of the care of storage batteries which explain very clearly everything that is necessary in order to get the longest possible service out of them which, of course, is important to the car owner who desires satisfactory starting and lighting. These books may be had for the asking at the Anaheim Ignition Depot at 140 S. Los Angeles St. John Heaston, while plowing on the T. B. Talbert ranch near Bolsa unearthed seven skulls Friday. They are supposed to be the heads of Indians who were buried in a morass in an early day. Who's Hazel? Your Druggist? Gifts of Witman, the Wish You Had. the Name "Witman" on Your Christmas Package
