The three counties of Riverside, Imperial, and Orange, with the possible addition of Inyo county, may join together in the erection and conduct of an inter-county tuberculosis sanitarium, it became known following a conference of Orange and Riverside supervisors at Riverside Wednesday afternoon. No details of the plan or the proposed location of the sanitarium were announced. Supervisors Talbert, Wassum, Edwards and Finley and County Hospital Superintendent Harry Zaiser attended the conference, held upon invitation of the Riverside supervisors. The general plan was discussed, and the need of such an institution was urged by Mrs. Thompson, secretary of the state tubercular bureau. She pointed out that the inter-county plan would be more economical financially for the counties and better care could be provided to the patients than is possible at present When the institution complies with conditions required by the state, the state would pay the sum of $3 a week to aid in the care of each patient, she said. The plan is to hold down expenses as far as possible and build conservatively for the present needs only, with the possibility of additional units be Leo Goepper, Justice of the Peace of Newport Township was granted a leave of absence from the county, for three months commencing May 1, 1919. The application of Amelgamated Oil Company to lay a three inch pipe line from Anaheim Union Water Company's ditch along Prospect avenue to Yorba Linda boulevard and from intersection of Newell avenue south to Palm Drive avenue, was granted.

The hearing on the petition of C. R. Clapp, et al, to vacate a portion of a certain road in the Fifth Road District, was continued to May 11, 1919, at 11 a.m. The application of Amalgamated Oil Growers Association to lay pipe line along Crowther avenue, across Placentia avenue, and along west side of Placentia to Orangethorpe avenue, was granted. The application of Chas. E. Dixon for permit to operate auto stage line from Huntington Beach to Santa Ana, was granted. An election was called for June 2, 1919, to vote on the formation of Buena Park Library District, said that the inter-county plan would be more economical financially for the counties and better care could be provided the patients than is possible at present. When the institution complies with conditions required by the state, the state would pay the sum of $3 a week to aid in the care of each patient, she said. The plan is to hold down expenses as far as possible and build conservatively for the present needs only, with the possibility of additional units being constructed later when the number of patients increases. There are now probably thirty tuberculosis patients under public care in the counties of Orange, Riverside, and Imperial and there were forty-five tuberculosis deaths in Orange county last year. Such an institution as proposed, it is believed, will tend to reduce the death rate which is also high in Riverside and Imperial counties, and there will probably be a greater number of recoveries as the disease could be reached in its incipiency in many cases where patients haven't the funds to pay for proper care early and the disease runs on into its last stages, when the patients become county charges. Another conference, it is understood, will be held in the near future when the plans will be outlined more in detail and when Inyo county will be invited to join in the arrangement. The responsibility for war rests upon two classes: the bully who thinks he can scare other people into sacrificing their own rights and interests, and the pacifists whose pusillanimous conduct when threatened gives the bully the basis for this belief. The man who will not stand up for his own rights is just as contemptible as the bully who tramples on other people. FULLERTON MAY HAVE CITY CONTROLLED GAS Trustees Determined to Supply People With Cheaper Fuel. The city trustees of Fullerton want to go into the gas business. They want to organize a municipal system, with the supply of gas coming from the wells under control of the Southern Counties Gas Company. And the city council has money enough to do whatever it wants to, and that without shoving an extra tax on property. The city is rolling in money, figuratively speaking, and according to reports has over $100,000 in the treasury. This surplus has been accumulated from royalties from oil wells within the city and the end is not yet—there will be more accumulations. The council at its last meeting directed the city attorney to request the Railroad Commission to require the Southern Counties Gas Company to name a rate at which it would deliver natural gas to the city at the intersection of Spadra road and Orangethorpe avenue. The city will distribute it from that point. The council is in dead earnest in its efforts to supply its residents with gas at a rate less than is being charged by the present distributing company, and it will keep on the job until all possible sources of accomplishing this purpose are exhausted.

The officials who ordered sea and land atrocities, who conducted war along forbidden lines, who perpetrated cruelties and outrage on civil populations, or ordered their deportation and enslavement; the men who fired upon hospitals and who shelled without warning merchant and passenger vessels and crews which had taken to the boats—all these under the terms of the treaty must be surrendered to the Allies for punishment. Germany has signally failed to administer such punishment herself. Now, if she desires peace, she must submit to having her enemies do it for her.

The Fullerton Ebell club had the largest delegation present, numbering 54. The community singing, led by Mrs. Henderson of Anaheim, was n-spiring. Following the invocation by Rev. Dowling of Placentia, the address of welcome was given by Mrs. Arthur Staley of Placentia and the response by Mrs. A. E. Stuelke of Fullerton. Messrs.

Prisoners reported were 4,791, including 15 reported now held by the bolsheviks. Of prisoners previously held by the central powers the records now show 281 died during internment and 113 of doubtful status. The grand total of wounded in the list is 201,230, of whom it has been estimated more than 85 per cent returned to duty. GIVE UP GUILTY There is probably no phase of the Peace treaty upon which public attention will focus more than that involving the trial and punishment of those German authorities responsible for violations of the principles of civilized warfare. A provision has been included in the treaty for the surrender by Germany of all such personages, and their trial and sentence at the hands of a court of five chosen by the five women's clubs of Orange county met upon hospitals and who shelled without warning merchant and passenger vessels and crews which had taken to the boats—all these under the terms of the treaty must be surrendered to the Allies for punishment. Germany has signally failed to administer such punishment herself. Now, if she desires peace, she must submit to having her enemies do it for her. A greater test of the reality of German reform could hardly be imagined. If there is, indeed, a new Germany, made over in conscience and heart to the standards of humanity and ready to repudiate the old regime, it will be shown plainly by a prompt acceptance of this section of the treaty. But reformed or unreformed, the surrendering of her guilty to justice is one of the articles above the dotted line to which Germany must subscribe, unless she prefers to face the consequences in internal disintegration and outward warfare. COUNTY WOMEN'S CLUBS MEET AT PLACENTIA Eleven Societies Entertained by the Round Table Club. Delegates and visitors from the 11 women’s clubs of Orange county met Rev. Dowling of Placentia, the address of welcome was given by Mrs. Arthur Staley of Placentia and the response by Mrs. A. E. Stuelke of Fullerton. Messrs. Wallace and Armitage spoke on the election to be held for harbor bonds. Judging from the reception these men were accorded the women are behind the project. A report was given by the county vice president, Mrs. Crozier of Newport Beach, on Orange County Women in the Service." Mrs. Crozier had undertaken much work in bringing together facts about these girls. A splendid group of solos by Miss Hester Billingsley concluded the morning session. The women of the Presbyterian church served lunch. The first address of the afternoon was given by Mrs. J. J. Suess of Redlands. She argued that women's clubs hold an important place in the scheme of things. Mrs. Rachel Richardson of Los Angeles spoke on "Rehabilitation of the Disabled Soldier." Mrs. G. M. Turner of Riverside concluded the program with an address on "Bird Life." Miss Wishard of Fullerton rendered three solos. The following were elected for the next year: President, Mrs. J. N. Bartholomew of High Costs Affect Operation Greater Revenues Required Changes in Bell Telephone Rates – 1913 to 1918 Compared with Changes in Wages and Prices Since 1913 there has been a steady increase in the price of all commodities and the products of industry, which has not been reflected in a corresponding increase in telephone rates. In order to meet the past and present high cost of telephone operation, a revenue in just proportion to the expense must be secured. The reason is simple. The cost of telephone operation is steadily advanced both because of the increased cost of material and the increased living cost of employees. The consumer has realized the necessity of paying more for rent, for food, for clothing and for transportation. The telephone industry has been affected by the same conditions which have produced higher prices in all of the necessities of life. Between 1913 and 1918, commodity prices advanced 112%, wages advanced 72% and Bell Telephone rates the country over advanced only 4%. Adequate rates are needed if the service is to be maintained efficiently and on a comprehensive scale, so as to meet the increasing demands of the public. This company is operating its telephone property under the direction of the Postmaster General for the United States Government and must secure sufficient revenue to cover the cost of rendering the service.

Anaheim Cash Market YEAR OF PROSPERITY American business apparently has largely recovered from the shock of war and is set for an unprecedented year of prosperity, according to reports reaching the federal reserve board. Increasingly large volumes of raw materials on dock for export; prospects for a record grain crop and "surprisingly satisfactory" industrial conditions "combine to present a reassuring situation to the nation," according to a statement of the board. The nation's recuperative powers were brought into play and "business generally is on a better footing," the statement said. The board entertains no fears as to unemployment. The floating supply of labor, threatening trouble in February and March, has been largely absorbed, the board's statement shows. Rectification of conditions will continue most of the summer months, the board believes. Plans for building operations and expansion in industry held in abeyance during the war are beginning to materialize, the board says. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance.
