VOLUME XLIX STANTON RANCH NOW OFFERED FOR SALE TRUSTEES HAVE DECIDED TO DISPOSE OF CITY'S RANCH PROPERTY IN THE WEST. Seventy-Five Acres Being Put on the Market at $750 Per.—Money to be Used in Building Outfall Sewer in Conjunction with Fullerton. Anaheim's sewer farm is for sale. That is, the original sewer farm—the Gilbert ranch—that unfortunate piece of realty in the west country, the purchase of which by the city of Anaheim stirred the righteous wrath of the people living adjacent to it to such an extent that they built a fence around themselves and called the enclosure the city of Stanton, is now offered for sale by the trustees, and will be disposed of at the reasonable NO MUTILATION The proposed mutilation of the third supervisor idistrict, which is sponsored by Supervisors Talbert and Edwards, and which seeks to add the precincts of Olinda and Yorba Linda to the fourth supervisor district, and all the territory south and east of Anaheim, and the precincts of Placentia to the second supervisor district, will meet with unanimous opposition on the part of voters throughout this district. Should Supervisors Talbert and Edwards attempt to pull off this unholy deal, they will be given a referendum vote immediately, and they will be knocked so cold they will never know what hit them. This outrageous gerrymander is sought to be brought about for the purpose of adding the rich oil precincts to the second and fourth districts, and the mutilation is timed to be made for next year's assessment. Millions of dollars of valuation would be taken away from the third district and added to the second and fourth districts. This our people will never consent to. The people of this district are organizing, and they will fight this outrageous gerrymander to a finish. We denounce this proposed mutilation as That is, the original sewer farm—the Gilbert ranch—that unfortunate piece of realty in the west country, the purchase of which by the city of Anaheim stirred the righteous wrath of the people living adjacent to it to such an extent that they built a fence around themselves and called the enclosure the city of Stanton, is now offered for sale by the trustees, and will be disposed of at the reasonable figure of $750 per acre. This property is a part of our sewer system, having been purchased as a site for the septic tanks when our sewers were laid, and the money derived from its sale will remain in the sewer fund as it is to be used in building the outfall to the ocean. That money would build a beautiful city hall at the southeast corner of Center and Claudina streets, but it is useless to suggest its investment in such a manner as the trustees would probably turn five deaf ears to the proposal. Although in deference to the wishes of the good people of Stanton the Gilbert ranch was never used for the purpose for which it was purchased, nevertheless it has proven a profitable investment. There are 74.81 acres in the ranch and it cost the city $23,116.46. At the price for which it is now offered it will bring about $56,000. Considering the phenomenal increase in realty values throughout the county during the past few years the price fixed by the trustees is a reasonable one. Years ago, when the city abandoned the project of using it for sewer purposes Trustee Hamler wanted to set the place to valencias. Had the board followed his suggestion it might be worth $5000 per acre now, and the city government would be on Easy street. The price at which this land is now offered may be increased to $1000.

Clarence Spencer, the well known Orangethorpe orange grower, was a business visitor in town a few days HOME AGAIN FROM PLEASANT TRIP TO PANAMA Mayor and Mrs. J. J. Dwyer Returned Several Days Ago from a Six Weeks Visit to Canal Zone. Mr. and Mrs. John J. Dwyer returned several days ago from their trip to Panama. They left on Christmas day and expected to be gone for sixty days, but their trip was cut short. They intended to pay a visit to Cuba and other places, but owing to epidemics and labor strikes there abandoned the trip. They journeyed by boat down the western coast and had an enjoyable trip. Mr. Dwyer says Panama offers a good place for business but he would not care to reside there. Upon arriving home Mr. Dwyer plunged into business requiring his personal supervision and was on deck at the trustees' meeting Friday night, where he presided in his usual suave and parliamentary manner.

Clarence Spencer, the well known Orangethorpe orange grower, was a business visitor in town a few days ago. To the rear of the Spencer orange orchard on West Orangethorpe avenue runs a sandy streak formation, and geologists have said oil exists there. As yet no effort has been made at development in that vicinity, but it is said some of the larger oil companies have taken leases nearby. Rumor also has it that a large company has acquired a lease of a large tract of land in a southwest direction, near the seacoast. The striking of oil at Huntington Beach has encouraged the hopes of many land owners in certain areas lying between the foothills and the sea, and it would not be surprising to hear of good results in the way of oil development in localities now classed as wildcat territory. Mr. Spencer says that while no attempt has been made in his immediate vicinity to bore for oil, he is in a receptive mood and a gusher would suit him very well. The Orangethorpe section is famed for its fine orange orchards, and many of the best citrus groves in the state are located there. Few if any places are for sale the present owners being content to remain where they are and fail to see where they could better themselves from a financial viewpoint. SWARTZBAUGH IS HOME John J. Swartzbaugh of Garden Grove, who was recently reported as missing, and was later located in the East, arrived home Saturday, after a visit with relatives in Eastern cities, first at New Orleans, Baltimore, Springfield, O., and Muncie, Indiana. He had the pleasure of visiting with a sister whom he had not seen for fifty-two years. "It was so cold back there that when I spit an ice-ball hit the sidewalk," Swartzbaugh declared, at the same time expressing great pleasure at being back in "God's country." On the return trip Mr. Swartzbaugh brought with him his wife's father, John Knott, aged 82, on his eighth and last trip to Southern California. Knott left word with his Eastern relatives that if they wanted to see him again they'd have to come out here to do it, for he wasn't going back. Explaining his "disappearance," Swartzbaugh said he suddenly took a notion to visit relatives in the East one day when the rest of the family were away, and just went ahead. He didn't think they would worry about him for he "was able to take care of himself." P. Gildea came up from Lony Beach Friday on a business trip.

Northern Orange County Forms Society to Battle for Protection and Oppose Any Unfair Division.—Attorney T. L. McFadden Explains the Situation. Chambers of commerce and boards of trade are usually organized and maintained for the purpose of boosting cities and communities, but the object of the Northern Orange County Associated Chambers, which was born recently, is practically for the purpose of protection or defense. This organization has been under consideration ever since the supervisors began district so as to take a portion of this district and add it to another, thereby increasing the assessed valuation of that district. "The supervisors look upon this territory as a well of money. The proposed line takes off Placentia and that rich section and adds it to Supervisorial District No. 2. Anaheim is left out because of the large vote there, and because of the fear that we might take away a supervisor from the south half of the county. If they will take in Anaheim, we would be willing to grant the change, for in that event we might have two supervisors here instead of one. "The time is coming when the third district must be redistricted. We have no grudge whatsoever against the south half of the county but when they can make a change, as was proposed and nearly accomplished, with the people directly affected having no voice in the matter, we thought the time had come when we should have a definite organization —one that would make itself felt and have weight and one which would make it possible to comabt any unfair rearrangement of the boundary lines that might be attempted.

Formation of Improvement District on Center Street Delayed.—Ordinance Passed Permitting Amateur Athletic Exhibitions.—New Regulations for Auto Parking Proposed. The board of trustees met in regular session on Friday night. There were present Mayor Dwyer and Trustees Stark, Backs, Mann and Gibbs. City Attorney Ames was present. The board adopted an ordinance providing for the holding of the regular city election on April 12th. Two members for a four year term and one member for a two year term are to be elected. A clerk and a treasurer will also be Chambers of commerce and boards of trade are usually organized and maintained for the purpose of boosting cities and communities, but the object of the Northern Orange County Associated Chambers, which was born recently, is practically for the purpose of protection or defense. This organization has been under consideration ever since the supervisors began discussing the proposition of dividing the third district and giving portions of it to other districts. The people of the north end are unanimous in opposition to the proposal, and believe the best method of combatting it is through an organization representing all the territory in the district. The county associated chambers of course would favor the gerrymander, as this district has developed so rapidly through its oil and citrus industries that it now has practically half of the county's wealth, and other districts have long cast a covetous eye toward our great wells and valuable orange groves. The only opposition in fact comes from the district to be despoiled. The opponents comprise the entire population and they deemed it wise to band themselves together and put up a solid front in defense of their boundary lines. A meeting of appointed delegates from the various civic bodies of the district was held at the Fullerton club rooms some days ago at which the society was formed, officers elected, and committees appointed. Sixty delegates were present representing the Anaheim board of trade, Buena Park chamber of commerce, Placentia chamber of commerce, Yorba Linda chamber of commerce, Brea chamber of commerce, Fullerton board of trade, LaHabra chamber of commerce, Buena Park woman's club, Fullerton woman's club, Fullerton farm bureau, Orange-thorpe school trustees, Fullerton Ebell, Fullerton parent teachers' association, Placentia Round Table and Fullerton high school trustees. The officers elected were S. C. Hartranft of Fullerton, president, T. L. McFadden of Placentia, vice president, and J. H. Whitaker of Anaheim, secretary-treasurer. A committee consisting of T. L. McFadden of Placentia, H. H. Benjamini "The oil well sections of this district pay a large amount of taxes. They are large users of the roads, perhaps more than the proportion of taxes they pay.

The officers elected were S. C. Hartranft of Fullerton, president, T. L. McFadden of Placentia, vice president, and J. H. Whitaker of Anaheim, secretary-treasurer. A committee consisting of T. L. McFadden of Placentia, H. H. Benjamin of Anaheim, J. C. Sexton of Brea, F. C. Krause of Fullerton, B. D. Dillingham of Yorba Linda and L. M. Hopper of La Habra, was appointed to select a name and draft a set of by-laws. Tom McFadden, on his election as vice president declared that his election to the position under the understanding of the purposes of the organization as announced by the chairman might cause confliction, as he did not believe the purpose of creating the association, or whatever it might be called, was of the booster character. "This meeting was called for the purpose of creating a defensive league and not for boosting," he said. "We now have in the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county a source for boosting every section of the county, and it is a mighty good institution and is doing a good work. I don't think that we should attempt at all to usurp the functions of the county chambers." "My idea of the organization under discussion here tonight is that it has an entirely different flavor. "The movement to organize in this end of the county started as a result of the attempt of the supervisors of the south half of the county to gerry-mander the lines of this supervisorial heavy both wealth and population, and it is not an unreasonable demand for the people of the north end to ask for two representatives on the board of supervisors. Of course this would mean that the three southern districts outside the city of Santa Ana would have to be consolidated into two, but any arrangement that would leave the northern end of the county with only one member of the board would be unjust and unfair. Any proposal to lop off chunks of our territory and tack them onto southern districts is a bare-faced attempt to gerrymander us out of our rights. We trust the supervisors will give all sections of the county a square deal when the new boundary lines are drawn. If they do this nobody will have just grounds for complaint, and all opposition in this end of the county will be withdrawn. But the people of the north are at present organized for battle—not for gain, but for justice and in defense of their rights, and there can be no justice in a division that does not give the wealthy and populous north end two seats at the supervisors' table. Recently Paderewski, in a fit of passion, reduced his piano to a heap of junk with an axe, and the Fullerton News man heartlessly insinuates that life in that city would be happier if a number of Fullerton amateurs would do likewise. Better send them over to Anaheim and have them take a few lessons from some of our talented instructors. There are hundreds of piano players in this city, and all are high class. The treasurer reported a balance of $17,847.19 in the general fund. Total cash $31,647.84. The recorder reported seven cases tried, the fines amounting to $190. Tom Ingram appeared before the board regarding the license charge for motion pictures. Whenever 20 cents or more admission is charged the ordinance provides that the license must be $1.50 per day, but when the admission is less only $1.25 per month is collected. This provision was made several years ago and applied to traveling shows. Mr. Ingram said he has to take the photoplays as they are booked by the film companies and must make the extra charge when a better class of pictures are shown. During the month upwards of twelve higher priced films are screened. Mr. Ingram believed the present license works an injustice upon him. The trustees announced that they have in contemplation a revision of the license ordinance. Perhaps license rates for all business will be raised, but it is proposed to tax a merchant according to the volume of business he does. There will be a minimum rate, and the schedule will be on a graduating scale—the more business a man does the more license he will pay.

The ordinance also raises the salary of the three deputy marshals to $115 per month.

T The county association met at the Sweet Shop in this city last Friday night and reached a definite understanding. It was agreed that the date should follow the big annual show at Los Angeles, as many of the big factory features brought to the coast for the Los Angeles show can be brought down and exhibited here. The auto dealers of San Diego are preparing to stage a show following the Anaheim display. At a recent meeting of the dealers a committee consisting of Harry D. Riley, C. H. McCausland and Albert Sitton was appointed to arrange for the show. The plans submitted by the committee call for two tents with a floor space of 20,000 square feet, one tent to contain the passenger cars and the other the trucks, and tractors. The committee estimated the cost of the affair at $5,000, and the machines on exhibition will have a value of $250,000. The tents will be beautifully decorated and brilliantly lighted. Chairman George Dunton continued the committee on the job, and those gentlemen will decide upon a date and report later! There are 45 dealers in the county, and all will have space. As practically all manufacturers have an agency in this county almost every car on the market will be represented at this display. It will not only give the dealers an opportunity to show their cars to thousands of visitors, but will enable prospective purchasers to examine and compare the different makes. The show will be a profitable affair to the dealers and customers alike, and no doubt will prove an important annual event. The situation developing through the provision of the new motor vehicle law requiring that new cars have license plates, instead of carrying special permits until the plates could The city attorney had a draft of an ordinance relative to fixing a lower electric light rate, but the chairman announced that the document would lay over for further consideration. After some discussion it was decided to place upon the ballot the proposition of paying the trustees $15 per month. Upon several occasions in the past this has failed to receive the necessary majority of all votes cast at an election. Many business men believe the trustees should receive compensation for their labors. The sum of $15 is small enough, and judging from the actual good work the members do they should get more. However, it is up to the voters to say whether the trustees shall be paid or be content with the honor alone. LOWERING OF LIGHT RATES BEING TALKED ABOUT Quite a Number of Citizens Incline to the Opinion that the Present Schedule Should Not Be Disturbed. The brief reference to the possibility of the city lowering the rates for electric lights to consumers has been commented upon by citizens generally, and many are of the opinion that the rates now charged should stand. They are considered fair as a whole and while things nowadays have an upward trend, some people incline to believe that the charge for electric juice should not be lowered. To go minutely into the task of ascertaining what the actual cost to produce the light amounts to, and to then ascertain the exact sum derived from its sale to consumers, is a technical problem and would require careful and painstaking labor. In other words it would be quite a job. A lowering of the rates, however, would no doubt mean a higher general tax rate to pay for street lights and necessary improvements, wear and tear and such like, which virtually would mean taking money from one pocket and putting it into another. A number of citizens and taxpayers have voiced their opinion that there should be no reduction in the light rates. However, the trustees are giving the matter careful study and their final action no doubt will be for the greatest good to the greatest number.
