Volume XXXXVI ELECTRIC PLANT YIELDED BIG SURPLUS OFFICIAL FIGURES SHOW HANDSOME PROFIT TO CITY DURING PAST TEN YEARS EDISON SERVICE PROVIDING UNSATFACTORY TO THE CONSUMERS OF POWER AND LIGHT Since the filing of the first bill by the Southern California Edison company for services rendered in furnishing electric energy to the city there has been much discussion relative to the wisdom of discontinuing the manuufacture of juice in our own plant and relying for our supply on the tender mercies of a corporation. Only eighteen days' service was embodied in the first bill, but the statement was for $427.60. Including the gas consumption at the power house, but exclusive of the wages of the employees, it cost the city $636.22 to furnish its customers with electricity during the has given the people cheap and satisfactory service and has also turned a surplus into the treasury practically every year. The plant has grown rapidly with the development of the town, and there is little doubt that the people are willing to vote the necessary bonds to enlarge the plant in order to keep pace with the increased service. There were less than one hundred consumers on the list when the plant was built in 1894, and they number more than 1200 now. People who favored contracting with the Edison people in the belief that the city would save several hundred dollars a month, now realize that it was a mistake and are advocating the rehabilitation of the power house and a return to home manufacture as soon as possible. UNIVERSITY MEN VISIT ORANGE COUNTY Inspected Chapman, Neff and Stewart Ranches Near Anaheim The fourth annual summer traveling class in Citriculture, of the University of California, Berkeley, spent Tuesday and Wednesday, June 6 and 7 visiti­ng orchards in Orange county. Their schedule called for stops at C. C. Chap­man's ranch, Fullerton; J. B. Neff and Stewart ranches, Anaheim; C. P. Taft's property at Orange; and the Stevens has been much discussion relative to the wisdom of discontinuing the manufacture of juice in our own plant and relying for our supply on the tender mercles of a corporation. Only eighteen days' service was embodied in the first bill, but the statement was for $427.60. Including the gas consumption at the power house, but exclusive of the wages of the employee, it cost the city $636.22 to furnish its customers with electricity during the last eighteen days of April, an average of $35.34 per day. The average cost per day during the twelve months ending April 1, while the city was making its own electricity, was $22.12. This is a difference of $13.22 per day, and it is predicted that this figure will be greatly increased, especially during the autumn and winter months when the nights are longer and the consumption of electricity is much heavier. The municipal light and power plant has been an important source of revenue to the city since it establishment in 1894. When it was built at an original cost of $7000, it was not the intention of the people that the city should make a profit out of it. But the rapid increase in the number of consumers has always swelled the receipts far above the expenditures. The following figures show the surplus accruing to the city and the cost of lighting the streets and public buildings during the past ten years. The cost of lighting buildings free has been considerably reduced of late years: 1906-07—Surplus ... $1057.84 Cost of street lights ... 2376.00 Lighting public buildings 651.00 1907-08—Surplus ... 1698.48 Cost of street lights ... 2496.00 Lighting public buildings 591.00 1908-09—Surplus ... 124.32 Cost of street lights ... 2760.00 Lighting public buildings 591.00 1909-10—Surplus ... 2477.08 Cost of street lights ... 2843.00 Lighting public buildings 294.00 1910-11—Surplus ... 9078.45 Cost of street lights ... 2810.00 Lighting public buildings 198.00 1911-12—Surplus ... 11582.08 Cost of street lights ... 2880.00 Lighting public buildings 198.00 1912-13—Surplus ... 13497.32 Cost of street lights ... 2755.20 Lighting public buildings 198.00 1913-14—Surplus ... 9616.85 Cost of street lights ... 2745.40 Lighting public buildings 198.00 1914-15—Surplus ... 9371.25 Inspected Chapman, Neff and Stewart Ranches Near Anaheim The fourth annual summer traveling class in Citriculture, of the University of California, Berkeley, spent Tuesday and Wednesday, June 6 and 7 visiting orchards in Orange county. Their schedule called for stops at C. C. Chapman's ranch, Fullerton; J. B. Neff and Stewart ranches, Anaheim; C. P. Taft's property at Orange; and the Stevens and Utt properties at Tustin. The class left Berkeley May 15 and are spending six weeks visiting citrus fig, olive and avocado orchards, nurseries, olive mills, citrus packing houses, by-products factories and precooling plants, in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys and Southern California. The object of the trip is to give the students an opportunity to observe cultural methods in the best sections of the state, to get practical experience in pruning, tree planting and irrigation wherever the opportunity offers, and to learn from practical growers the reasons for their successes or failures. Most of the students have just completed their sophomore year in college and have not had the class or laboratory work in Citriculture that is given during the junior and senior years. The personnel of the class is as follows: Prof. I. J. Condit, Berkeley; R. Barthelomew, Denver, Colorado; H. E. Bradley, Sacramento; R. Ellis, Fallbrook; D. L. Kieffer, Berkeley; N. M. Lyon, Cincinnati, Ohio; H. J. Stevens, Tustin; A. W. Stewart, Pasadena; R. J. Starbuck, Fullerton. MILLS OPPOSES HIGH SCHOOL BONDS Wait One Year Before Increasing Further Indebtedness, He Says Editor Gazette:—Shall we vote for the high school bonds? We are certainly all proud of our high school and its record in the past, but this year, and at the present time, there are absolute necessities calling for public funds. The new buildings for the high school are probably necessities but not such pressing ones as others at present. After weary months of hard work it appears that an adequate plan of river protection is to be carried out. This, I understand, will call for one assessment for the whole thing to be paid this year. Then the northern end at once to our district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district district 1910-11—Surplus ... 9078.45 Cost of street lights ... 2810.00 Lighting public buildings 198.00 1911-12—Surplus ... 11582.08 Cost of street lights ... 2880.00 Lighting public buildings 198.00 1912-13—Surplus ... 13497.32 Cost of street lights ... 2755.20 Lighting public buildings 198.00 1913-14—Surplus ... 9616.85 Cost of street lights ... 2745.40 Lighting public buildings 198.00 1914-15—Surplus ... 9371.25 Cost of street lights ... 2431.80 Lighting public buildings 198.00 1915-16—Surplus ... 8561.54 Cost of street lights ... 4138.80 Lighting public buildings 198.00 These figures show that a surplus of $67,000 was turned into the treasury during the past ten years. They also show that, following the original plan of furnishing electricity at actual cost, another reduction in price could have been made to the consumers without causing a deficit, but under the present system of purchasing the energy from a corporation instead of manufacturing it, fear is expressed that a deficit will occur without the consumers getting the reduction. There is much complaint, also about the service since the change was made. Users of power complain that the reduction from 60 to 50 cycles depreciates the efficiency of the power, and that it is unsatisfactory. The motor energy is reduced, it is claimed, 13 per cent and causes endless trouble and extra cost to the consumers. In the matter of lights, also, numerous complaints are being made, and many customers are changing to a higher power light. The municipal plant was built twenty-two years ago for the purpose of escaping from a corporation which was anxious to get a foothold, and it has proven a satisfactory investment. It After weary months of hard work it appears that an adequate plan of river protection is to be carried out. This, I understand, will call for one assessment for the whole thing to be paid this year. Then the northern end of the county is without bridges, and as soon as the river protection matter is settled, the span bridge question will be up for settlement and will necessarily call for bonds to raise the money. Dr. Johnston has raised a very important question, that is, the separate schools for boys and girls. I see that to be done it should be done before more buildings are erected. I see that Prof. Cranston of Santa Ana suggests that the separation begin at the 7th grade and continue at least through the second year of high school work. Let us postpone this whole question for a year and vote No, on the bonds. A. A. MILLS. Frank Porter, pioneer of Orange-thorpe, was a visitor in town on Monday evening, coming over to attend the meeting of the board of trade, when the river protection district was discussed. Frank has lived in this section for over forty years and has seen the Santa Ana river cut some peculiar pranks, during that time, last January's overflow being just about the worst, and while he is firm in the belief that something sooner or later will have to be done to curb that stream, he believes it is going to be a big job. Mrs. E. C. Shiner went up to Los Angeles last week to visit her parents. Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, California, Thursday, June 8 1916 ONE LARGE PROTECTION DISTRICT TO BE FORMED LINES TO INCLUDE ALL REAL ESTATE FROM YORBA BRIDGE TO NEWBERT DISTRICT BOARD OF TRADE HOLDS ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING RELATIVE TO RIVER PROTECTION It was unanimously agreed at the special meeting of the Anaheim board of trade on Monday night to proceed at once to organize one river protection district, embracing all real estate from the Yorba bridge to the Newbert district, the northern line to extend as far as Orangethorpe. It was also agreed that the special committees from this city and Garden Grove proceed at once to form the district as outlined and go before the board of supervisors asking for its formation. The reason for this new move is to include the three and one-half mile gap in the west bank of the Santa flood waters at that time, and surely a more compact construction will serve to hold the flood waters that may chance to come down the canyon as in years past. Of course the unusually high waters of last January may not be repeated in twenty years, but even so with the channel properly dredged and the dike erected as outlined, it is within reason to expect safety from over flow, even if last season's huge volume of water should come again. The meeting was attended by representative citizens from Garden Grove, Orangethorpe and this city. The utmost harmony prevailed and everybody believed that the district will become a reality. Mr. Manter and Mr. Hughes of Garden Grove bring encouraging reports from their section relative to the formation of the district. B. F. Porter of Orangethorpe stated that Orangethorpe to some extent is opposed to the district and may seek exclusion. Just how far the north line is to extend has not yet been decided upon, but as much property as possible is to be embraced in the new district. It was given out at the meeting that Westminster and Bolsa will offer opposition, but to what extent is not at this time made known. They claim that no river overflow ever comes their way, and therefore fail to see why they should be included. Many HAUCK AGCEPTS FULLERTON'S OFFER TENDERS RESIGNATION AS PRINCIPAL OF A. U. H. S. AND GOES TO NEIGHBORING TOWN MANY CITIZENS MEET WITH THE BOARD AND ASK THAT HE BE RETAINED IN ANAHEIM Twenty-five of the leading business men of Anaheim met with the high school board Tuesday night for the purpose of protesting against the removal to Fullerton of Dr. E. W. Hauck, principal of the school, and demanding that the board meet the offer of the Fullerton trustees and retain him as head of the Anaheim high school. But their protests were of no avail. Dr. Hauck announced that he had been in conference with the Fullerton board that day, and while he had not accepted the position made vacant by the dismissal of Prof. Brunton, he expected to do so on the following day.

Berkeley; Colorado; H. Ellis, Fallley; N. M. J. Stevens, usadena; R. BOL BONDS Increasing He Says we vote for proud of our in the past, present time, cities calling new buildings pably necessing ones as hard work date plan of carried out call for one thing to be northern end The two committees began early Tuesday morning to work with that end in view and in all probability their labors will be successful. The new line to the southwest will include the Westminster and Bolsa sections, but it has been said considerable opposition to the protection district exists in those localities, as the people there lay claim to being immune from direct river overflow. However, the committees firmly believe that they will be able to show the Westminsterites the error of their contentions in regard to the impending menace of inundation during excessive rainfall, and confidently aver that all the people living in the territory to the south and west will eventually seek inclusion within at once to organize one river protection district, embracing all real estate from the Yorba bridge to the Newbert district, the northern line to extend as far as Orangethorpe. It was also agreed that the special committees from this city and Garden Grove proceed at once to form the district as outlined and go before the board of supervisors asking for its formation. The reason for this new move is to include the three and one-half mile gap, in the west bank of the Santa Ana river, lying between the Garden Grove line as previously defined and the Newbert district. The committee which waited upon the supervisors last week were given assurance by that body that if such a procedure was decided upon they would agree to look upon the venture favorably. It was contended that to organize the Anaheim and the Garden Grove districts separately, and leave out the gap as mentioned, would be unwise, inasmuch as to provide protection down to that line, and to carry storm waters to that point, and then allow them to spread out to the west country, would be injudicious, as it would naturally be a constant menace to the section lying below the gap made in the river bed last January. The committee as a whole took the same view of the matter as did the supervisors and recommended that one large district be formed including all land as stated. By taking in this increased area, and making one large district, it is computed that the relative cost to the Anaheim and Garden Grove districts, as previously outlined, will not be any more by this inclusion than would have been had the districts been formed separately. The two committees began early Tuesday morning to work with that end in view and in all probability their labors will be successful. The new line to the southwest will include the Westminster and Bolsa sections, but it has been said considerable opposition to the protection district exists in those localities, as the people there lay claim to being immune from direct river overflow. However, the committees firmly believe that they will be able to show the Westminsterites the error of their contentions in regard to the impending menace of inundation during excessive rainfall, and confidently aver that all the people living in the territory to the south and west will eventually seek inclusion within that Orangethorpe to some extent is opposed to the district and may seek exclusion. Just how far the north line is to extend has not as yet been decided upon, but as much property as possible is to be embraced in the new district. It was given out at the meeting that Westminster and Bolsa will offer opposition, but to what extent is not at this time made known. They claim that no river overflow ever comes their way, and therefore fail to see why they should be included. Many sections of the district suffered no damage last January from overflow, but nevertheless many others did, looking at the problem in a broad light, it is contended that by suitably providing for protection everybody as a whole is benefited either directly or indirectly. The county, especially the northern and western sections, cannot permit the Santa Ana river to remain in its present unguarded condition. Something must be done to remedy the evil. That, in its present condition, it is a menace, admits of no doubt. Harmony is the watchword, and that the new protection district will be formed is a foregone conclusion. It was decided athe meeting, when the time arrived to elect three trustees, to choose one from Garden Grove, one from the Orangethorpe section and one from this city. The assessable wealth of prptection districts include all real estate. A provision in the law provides that railroads also are subject to taxation. It is stated that the railways are in accord with the idea of the formation of protection districts and will do all in their power to seek that end. The impression prevailed that only one polling place could be provided for in case of an election. This is erroneous. After the district is formed, and the three trustees are elected, they can designate as many polling places in the district as are necessary for any future elections, and it was further stated that any resident in the district may vote at any one of the polling places designated. The local committeemen have been highly complemented in the able manner in which they have arranged the preliminary steps looking towards the formation of the new district and have been given every assistance by the people generally. A free right of way for the channel has been secured for its entire length, and the committee is to further prosecute its labors until that district is on acknowledged foot purpose of protesting against the removal to Fullerton of Dr. E. W. Hauck, principal of the school, and demanding that the board meet the offer of the Fullerton trustees and retain him as head of the Anaheim high school. But their protests were of no avail. Dr. Hauck announced that he had been in conference with the Fullerton board that day, and while he had not accepted the position made vacant by the dismissal of Prof. Brunton, he expected to do so on the following day. He cut short the arguments favoring an increase in his salary to meet the Fullerton offer by stating that he would not accept one dollar of increase from Anaheim unless other members of the faculty were also given an increase. That ended the discussion, as the board did not feel equal, financially, to giving each of the sixteen teachers an increase. Dr. Hauck came here three years ago from Pomona college, where he was a member of the faculty, and was engaged at a salary of $1800 per year. This was increased a time or two, and this year his salary was fixed at $2650. The Fullerton trustees have been paying the principal $2400 per year, but they offered Dr. Hauck $3150, an increase of $750 per year, and $500 more than Anaheim was paying. The enrollment in the Fullerton school is a little above 400, in the Anaheim school 330. There are 26 teachers in the Fullerton school and 16 in the Anaheim school. The average salary paid in Fullerton aside from the principal, is $1400, in Anaheim it is $1280. Prof. C. R. Prince, assistant principal, broke into the discussion with the announcement that he voiced the sentiment of the faculty in saying that if the board would increase the principal's salary to meet the Fullerton offer the other teachers would be content to continue at the old figure. Speeches were made by H. M. Adams, C. E. Holcomb, H. A. Dickel, Charles Eygabroad, J. O. Reed, F. N. Gibbs, W. J. Elliott, Archer Fay, Herman Stern and others representing the patrons of the school, all urging the board to use every reasonable effort to retain Prof. Hauck in Anaheim. Mr. Adams opened the discussion by stating that it was rumored on the streets that Fullerton was endeavoring to entice Prof. Hauck to that city, and the purpose of the gathering was to protest against it, and ask the board to keep him in Anaheim if possible. In replay to this Dr. Hauck stated hard work to plan of carried out, call for one thing to be northern end bridges, and section midge question it and will raise the very immeiable separate I see that done before. I see that Ana suggests at the 7th east through school work. Whole question in the bonds. A. MILLS. of Orange town on Monto attend the trade, when district was disbanded has seen some peculiar last Janu- about the curb that going to be a up to Los other parents. it has been said considerable opposition to the protection district exists in those localities, as the people there lay claim to being immune from direct river overflow. However, the committees firmly believe that they will be able to show the Westminsterites the error of their contentions in regard to the impending menace of inundation during excessive rainfall, and confidently aver that all the people living in the territory to the south and west will eventually seek inclusion within the contemplated protection and reclamation district. The assessable wealth of the new district as proposed will total $10,000,000, and the committees after a thorough study of the cost of putting in the dike and dredging the channel say it will be $1.25 on the $100. That would not be a burdensome tax, considering the great good to come to all the northern and western ends of the county by having the turbulent Santa Ana river under control. It is proposed to build the dike on the west bank of the river from the Yorba bridge to the sea, and to then deed the same to the county for a public highway. The supervisors have tentatively agreed to accept the dike as a road, and have further agreed, so the committee has said, to maintain the same as such. This latter agreement, many citizens argue, is the keynote to the whole affair, for when once the dike is made into a good, serviceable county thoroughfare, therein lies the curbing of excessive rainfall. The dike is to be sixty feet wide at the top, the district proposing to put it in good shape before turning it over to the county. Once established the new highway will in all probability be readily used by autoists and the public generally and thus become a well packed and durable dike. The small western embankment thrown up north of the Olive bridge two years ago withstood the district may vote at any one of the polling places designated. The local committeemen have been highly complemented in the able manner in which they have arranged the preliminary steps looking towards the formation of the new district and have been given every assistance by the people generally. A free right of way for the channel has been secured for its entire length, and the committee is to further prosecute its labors until the district is an acknowledged fact. Prof. E. W. Hauck presided at the meeting and J. W. Duckworth acted as secretary. The discussion of the evening was entered into by Messrs. Eygabroad, Cook, Gibbs, Prince, Manter, Hughes, Krause and others and all took an optimistic view of the situation. One gentleman from the southwest section (when informed that the supervisors had agreed to accept the dike as a county road and maintain the same) saw visions of county funds being misappropriated and perhaps having the road turned back upon the district after it had been accepted by the supervisors as a county highway. The speaker was informed by several present that such a procedure was unprecedented and that there was not one chance in a thousand for the board to do so in the present case. Should the road be properly built, it would be one of the most sought after in the county by autoists, as it would lead from the mountains to the sea, and would be one much admired for its scenic beauty. The southwesterner was told to becalm himself and have no fear of an abandoned road which he pictured in his imaginative conclusions. Guy Holman was a business visitor in town Monday from his ranch in the southwest country. The man Stern and others representing the patrons of the school, all urging the board to use every reasonable effort to retain Prof. Hauck in Anaheim. Mr. Adams opened the discussion by stating that it was rumored on the streets that Fullerton was endeavoring to entice Prof. Hauck to that city, and the purpose of the gathering was to protest against it, and to ask the board to keep him in Anaheim if possible. In replay to this Dr. Hauck stated that he was leaving Anaheim with many regrets, but the Fullerton trustees had approached him with an offer that was a compliment to any school man. The offer was $750 higher than they ever paid before. The Anaheim school board, he said had treated him very generously. While he had not accepted the offer from Fullerton he would do so on Tuesday, and tendered his resignation to the board. C. E. Holcomb warned the professor that he would find things different at Fullerton, and there are other things besides salary to be considered. It would be better for his peace of mind to stay in Anaheim. We are here, he said, endeavoring to induce him to stay with us, but the history of the Fullerton school shows that they no sooner elect a man to the principalship than they begin working to get him out of his job. He trusted that some inducement could be made to keep him in Anaheim. H. A. Dickel spoke on the same lines and declared the board would have the backing of the community in making it worth while for him to stay. Charles Eygabroad remarked that he believed Anaheim could make it an object for him to remain as well as Fullerton could invite him to that city, and he hoped the trustees would be able to prevail on him to reconsider his resignation.

He ed on the same lines, and finally Herman Stern asked the professor if he would remain in Anaheim provided his salary was raised to the same figure offered by Fullerton, to which he replied that he would not accept a dollar of increase from Anaheim unless the other members of the faculty were raised $100 per year each. "I expect," said he, "to accept the Fullerton offer tomorrow." It was evident Dr. Hauck had fully determined to sever his connection with the Anaheim schools and transfer his field of action to Fullerton, consequently after expressing regrets and extending good wishes the assembly broke up. The board also discussed the bond election to be held next Tuesday for the purpose of raising $35,000 for additional buildings. The secretary reported that the bonded indebtedness now was $88,000 and the district under its assessment was entitled to issue $170,000. It was explained that the school, with its present enrollment of 330 pupils, was crowded to its full capacity. An enrollment of 400 is expected next winter, and it will be difficult to handle them unless additions are made. It is proposed, if the bonds carry, to remodel the manual training building and fit it up for the library and a study hall.
