HIGHWAY SYSTEM DISCUSSED BY A.C.OF G. DISTRICT ATTORNEY ASKED TO KEEP CHECK ON LOADED TRUCKS ENTERING THE COUNTY Secretary Fraser of Anaheim Chamber Declared New Engineer System was Costing County $50,000 per Year Above Old System—King Tax Bill Unanimously Denounced, and Representatives Asked to Oppose It. Discussion of the highway system of Orange county, condemnation of the use of creek gravel instead of crushed rock in building roads and curruption of the King tax bill were outstanding features at the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce held at Masonic Temple in this city Wednesday night. Road con- No. 27, which would remove oil companies from local taxation and take away at one fell swoop one-third of Orange county's tax revenue. Eygabroad and others declared the time had come to cut down expense of state government, and Legislators Eden and Hart will be asked to help pare the budget. Chas. Eygabroad of the Fruit Growers' association reported the latest developments in the rate controversy between the citrus growers of southern California and the transportation companies. The fruit growers interests have now solved their problem in the elimination of the excessive freight tariffs and will discard the railroads as a means of sending citrus products to the Eastern markets, as prohibitive, excessive and even extortion. The all-water bids from the United-American and Hawaiian steamship companies for the transportation of these products in similar shipments from San Pedro to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore or any of the eastern seaboard ports were 54 6-10 cents a box. The all-water rates presented by the competing companies now after this business of the orange and lemon growers amounts to 70 cents per 100 pounds as contrasted with the railroad freight charges of Discussion of the highway system of Orange county, condemnation of the use of creek gravel instead of crushed rock in building roads and denunciation of the King tax bill were outstanding features at the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce held at Masonic Temple in this city Wednesday night. Road construction, damage to roads, and how the damage may be prevented was the big topic of the meeting and so widespread was the feeling that the road construction and maintenance methods can be bettered that the subject, upon motion of H. A. Lake of Garden Grove was made a special order of business for the annual meeting to be held at St. Ann's Inn on March 30th. Chairman D. Eyman Huff of the good roads committee was requested to arrange the program and extend invitations to County Engineer J. L. McBride, the supervisors and to all others who may be interested. Secretary Malcolm Fraser of the Anaheim Chamber declared the new county engineer system of road maintenance is costing the county $50,070 a year over the old supervisorial system, and said he hoped the Associated Chambers would get back of Anaheim in the proposal to investigate county road affairs as now administered. “There is no suspicion that any of the officers involved are making a personal gain out of the system,” said Fraser, “but there are too many employees in the road department and the administration cost is too heavy for the taxpayers’ best interests. Not one-tenth as many complaints about roads were made under the old system as at the present time.” Fraser also denounced the use of creek gravel and referred to samples taken from a job near Anaheim which he said showed an excessive percentage of silt. “I believe asphalt-concrete makes the best paving there is,” said E. E. Jahraus of Laguna Beach, “but what can we do when trucks and trailers carrying thirty tons—regular train loads—are permitted to travel over our roads which were never built for such traffic. Our new roads should be five or six inches thick anyway. Enough money is being spent to have good roads. Let’s save the roads we now have.” The all-water bids from the United American and Hawaiian steamship companies for the transportation of these products in similar shipments from San Pedro to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore or any of the eastern seaboard ports were 54 6-10 cents a box. The all-water rates presented by the competing companies now after this business of the orange and lemon growers amounts to 70 cents per 100 pounds as contrasted with the railroad freight charges of about $2.10 per 100 pounds. Mr. Eygabroad declared to the associated bodies representing the mercantile and other interests of Orange county that it is now only a question of a short time before the fruit growers will have their own steamships in service as common carriers of their own products, forced to make this move by the confiscatory attitude of the railroads. “The time is not remote,” said he, “when we will be able to ship our fruit products from Riverside, Santa Ana, and all parts of the county to Newport Harbor and load them on the steamers at this port, judging from what my friend Low Wallace tells us of the activities there.” Eygabroad reported on the Valencia Orange Show, proposed to be held in Anaheim in May, and said it is due the growers of valencias that they have an exposition where they can show their fruit to best advantage, which is not possible at the San Bernardino Orange Show because of the difference in shipping season. The two shows would not conflict, at all, he said. The meeting was held in the banquet hall of the Masonic Temple. Ladies of the Ebel Society furnishing the feed. The next meeting will be held at St. Ann's Inn, Santa Ana. PROMINENT YOUNG MAN CALLED BY DEATH Frank Schacht Dies at Home of His Parents near Stanton Funeral services over the body of Frank Schacht were held at Back & Terry’s undertaking parkors Monday afternoon, Rev J. A. Geissinger and Rev Martin Leuschner conducting the services. The remains were interred in Loma Vista cemetery.

After menopements the "I believe asphalt-concrete makes the best paving there is," said E. E. Jahraus of Laguna Beach, "but what can we do when trucks and trailers carrying thirty tons—regular train loads—are permitted to travel over our roads which were never built for such traffic. Our new roads should be five or six inches thick anyway. Enough money is being spent to have good roads. Let's save the roads we now have." The representative business men of Orange county, at the conclusion of various disclosures on the real seriousness of the situation, too, prompt and decisive action, voting unanimously to bring the critical situation confronting Orange county and its financial integrity to the district attorney, and to place officers or watchmen clothed with full authority at the entrance of each county or improved highway entering the boundaries of Orange county, to stop and prevent heavy trucks from violating the state law as regards weight and loads. Speaker after speaker following in rapid succession demanding that the corporate and private interests coase using the county roads as freight lines, overloading their trucks, some carrying trailers and others conveying as high as ten, fifteen and twenty tons, breaking down road surfaces and making it impossible for the strongest concrete-asphaltum composition to stand strains that were never intended to place upon such composition. A motion was unanimously passed declaring opposition to the pending King tax bill, and the secretary was instructed to telegraph Senator Eden and Assemblyman Hart at once to that effect. The King tax would be "an indirect tax coming around directly to the growers of California," declared Mr. Eygabroad. The organization also went on record against Assembly Bill Funeral services over the body of Frank Schacht were held at Back & Terry's undertaking parlor Monday afternoon, Rev J. A. Gelsinger and Rev Martin Leuschner conducting the services. The remains were interred in Loma Vista cemetery. News of the untimely death of this young man caused universal sadness among the people of Anaheim, all of whom knew him either personally or by reputation. He was a graduate of the Anaheim high school, and during his school years was one of the most popular students in that institution. He helped win many honors for his school in debate and athletics, being one of the best orators the school ever produced. He also graduated at the State University, and last summer was elected assistant principal of the schools at Napa, where he was teaching when taken ill. Some months ago he was operated on for an affection of the throat.* He caught a severe cold which developed into tuberculosis, and began rapidly to fail. Less than two weeks ago he gave up his school and returned to the home of his parents near Stanton, where he died last Friday morning. He was 24 years of age. Last June Mr. Sahacht was married to Miss Bernice Cole, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Cole of the West side. He leaves a young wife besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. Schacht of Stanton, to mourn their loss. C. E.

The two developments were, first, conclusive proof by actual test that water shipments of citrus fruits to the Atlantic seaboard could be successfully made, and, second, the reduction on water rates on lemons, Los Angeles to New York, from $1.05 per hundred weight to 70 cents per hundred weight. These two factors may be said to have virtually electrified the lemon industry. Growers of this fruit now see prospects of developing the industry that were hitherto undreamed of. Simultaneously, these two developments have accelerated to a tremendous degree the activities of those who have the interests of Newport harbor. These growers are BOARD PLANNING CONSTRUCTION OF PARK CITY MANAGER STEWARD AND TRUSTEE GATES APPOINTED TO OUTLINE THE WORK Expert Landscape Gardener Will Probably be Employed to Assist—Gates has Ideas of His Own that May be Adopted—Property Owners on Chartres Street Generally Favorably to Paving—Fire Boys Want Written Document Permitting Them to go Outside their Ball-wick.

Mr. Abernathy handed in his resignation as Superintendent of Schools, and in return collected his little bill of $1400, the accumulated salary due him since the board ousted him from his job the 19th of Last May, and ouster which Superior Judge West refused to recognize as legal or genuine. Now that the matter is settled without further hearings or court proceedings, the patrons of the schools can draw a breath of relief and be thankful that this disagreeable chapter has closed with a satisfactory ending. On the 19th of May last, the board acting principally on information and complaints filed by the teachers in the schools, summarily dismissed the superintendent without formality of a hearing or trial at which the accused would be given an opportunity to defend himself and answer the charges. The board declined to make public the charges believing the superintendent would be content to step out, leaving the reason for his going hidden from the eyes-or-cars of the public. But Mr. Abernathy had a four year contract with the board, less than one year of which had expired, and he declined to step out peacefully. He visited the superintendent's office daily during the remaining days of the term and made it known to all concerned that he was still superintendent of schools, but was prevented from performing the duties of his office by the powers above him.

When the new corps of teachers were elected last summer C. C. Smith was engaged as superintendent, and has been the acting head during the present term. Through Attorney Leonard Evans, Abernathy brought suit against the board in Superior court, demanding reinstatement in his position and back salary. After many delays and postponements the case finally came to trial before Judge West a month ago. The city schools were dismissed for a day or two, as nearly all of the teachers had been subpoenaed as witnesses to give testimony before the court, principally in defense of the actions of the trustees, and it is said the placid atmosphere of the temple of justice was stirred somewhat by the testimony. It was patent to all that the trustees were justified in trading Abernathy for another superintendent, as almost the entire corps of teachers had grievances against him. In fact Judge West stated that if only a fraction of the things about him were true he should not be permitted to hold the position of superintendent of schools, but his fitness for the position was not in dispute before the court, the only question being whether the school board had acted in accordance with law in arbitrarily dismissing him. The court held that inasmuch as the board had not fixed a date of hearing or trial, and had not given the accused an opportunity to answer the charges of his accusers, his dismissal was not in accordance with law, and under his contract he was still superintendent of schools. Twice since the trial the board has fixed a date for a public hearing and on both occasions the trial was postponed. The action Monday in settling by compromise was the best and most satisfactory solution of the matter. Orange county's harbor offers a golden opportunity. The thing to do is to strike while the iron is hot. Unless the citrus growers of this county take action at once and be prepared to profit when the harbor is ready San Pedro will prepare to handle the entire water shipments of citrus fruits. "Suppose the county's citrus growers here had their own steamers plying out of Newport. The annual saving would run up into hundreds of thousands of dollars. The cost of getting oranges and lemons to the port would be cut materially. Why haul to San Pedro? Why not haul to Newport which is closer? "Suppose that we had flying the flag of the Orange County Fruit exchange, for instance, a number of steamers plying between Newport and Atlantic coast ports. Would not that be a tremendous advertisement for the county? "There is no reason why the steamers could not return to Newport laden with bananas or other Central American products, which could be put on the market here at prices far below those being asked from the East to California and the bulk of them finally settling in Los Angeles, they would hand at our own doorstep and have an opportunity to see Orange county, a section which is second to none anywhere in California or the United States, for that matter. "No time should be lost. Opportunity is knocking at the door of Orange county and knocking insistently. We should open that door wide, at once, with definite action. We must act, in order that the time will never come when we will regret our apathy." Heavily loaded trucks must be weighed. Measures Will Be Taken to Protect Orange County Roads Determined to enforce the law governing overloaded trucks with the same vigor that the speed law is enforced in Orange County, District Attorney A. P. Nelson held a conference with Traffic Officers O. K. Carr, W. S. Warner and Vernon Myers and instructed them to launch against truck drivers a campaign th atwill put an end to traffic law violations.

Relief from abroad is the only thing that will save these people from actual death by famine. It is up to the United States to save these people and the government is at the head of the relief work and is urging the American people to contribute from their abundance to help the suffering human beings. A. C. Way of Los Angeles was recently appointed chairman of the relief work for Southern California, and Mr. Way has appointed a local chairman in each city throughout the Southland. H. H. Benjamin, cashier of the First National Bank, was appointed chairman for Anaheim by Mr. Way, and Mr. Benjamin has appointed A. B. McCord of the Anaheim National E.E. Smith of the Golden State, H. H. Hawley of the Southern County and E. E. Zitzmann of the Anaheim Savings bank as members of the famine committee.

Ever since the war started the government has been preaching thrift and trying to educate and enlighten the people to the advantage of saving. The Anaheim banks have combined an invitation to the children of this city and vicinity to open a savings account as low as a dollar, and all are urged to start a savings account at one of the financial institutions. It is believed if the children once start an account they will bend every effort to keep it growing and these habits of thrift will be inculcated in their young minds so that they will not depart from them in their riper years. It is expected there will be a run on the four banks tomorrow, but it will be unique as the children will be waiting for the doors to open and give them an opportunity to make their first deposit. When a mob collects in front of a bank and waits impatiently for its doors to open, it is generally supposed the panic stricken people are clamoring for a chance to draw out their earnings. Principal J. A. Clayes of the High School, and Principal C. C. Smith of the Grammar Schools have been lecturing on thrift to their pupils each day this week, and it is believed the pupils have been keyed up to the belief that a dollar in the bank is worth two in the candy store, and that hundreds of them will start an account tomorrow and then get lots of satisfaction out of seeing it grow. Moreover there is another reward in store for those who start an account tomorrow. C. L. Head, manager of the Fairyland theater announces that children who can show a bankbook will be admitted free for the matinee at the Fairyland Saturday afternoon. He is expecting to entertain a large crowd of them. Four per cent compound interest will be paid by the banks on these deposits and a table in another page of this paper will show how a bank account grows. ORANGE COUNTY DAY ORANGE COUNTY DAY An Orange County day, hooked up with a great state-wide California Automobile Trade association convention and flesta, is the plan of the San Diego auto show director for the wind-up of the show which will begin March 26 and continue eight days. Announcement was made by H. J. Penfold, managing editor of the show for the San Diego Motor Car Dealers' association, that Orange county and Imperial valley days will be two particular features of the automotive exposition. It is tentatively planned to hold Orange county day April 2, the final day of the show. Preliminary arrangements have also been taken up with Bob Martland, of Oakland, executive secretary of the California Auto Trades association, to call a state convention of the association here in connection with the show. Members of the Orange Co. Automobile Trades association will be invited by members of the San Diego association to come on that date. Penfold announces that at this show there will be continuous entertainment, a "jazzy" program of such a varied nature that one might attend every day and see something new each time. The show will be held in Balboa park, colorful exposition grounds of the Panama-California International exposition.
