VOLUME LI WATER COMPANY HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING LESS THAN THREE THOUSAND SHARES ANSWER TO ROLL CALL SATURDAY Old Board of Directors Hold Over for Another Year—Auditor's Report Shows a Net Loss of $16,000 During the Year—Secretary Sheridan Complimented for His Efficient Work—Superintendent Wallop Reports on Work Accomplished. Annual report of the board of audit, detailing the transactions of the Anaheim Union Water company during the year ending December 31, shows a net loss of $16,757.43 in its operations in water and oil during the year. The board was composed of Arthur Staley, W. J. M. Heinz and S. C. Hartranft. These gentlemen spent several days on the books and records of the company, and made their report to the items help to run up the repair bills. "During the storm we had a large number of men at work piling brush and sand bags between the rows of pilling at the head of the ditch and it was only by continuous work, most of which was done in the rain, that we were able to prevent the river from breaking through at the identical point that it broke through in 1916, and prevented a repetition of the 1916 disaster." "We at present have the Edgar L. Wheeler company driving a double row of piling from the head gate to the lower piling a distance of 1800 feet and with some extra work we are now planning we should have the ditches fairly well protected for future storms, but at the best it will always be a dangerous and expensive piece of work to maintain our ditches near the head gate. This piling is contracted for and will cost $11,900. It is impossible at the present time to state exactly what the cost of replacing our ditch at the head and the pile work will cost, but I would estimate that the total will be in the vicinity of $25,000. This does not include any other work that may be ordered in with a view of giving us further protection. “If you will compare this year's report with your report for 1920 you will note that our total expenditures for the year 1921 were approximately sixy thousand dollars less than the expenditures for 1920 in face of the..." Annual report of the board of audit, detailing the transactions of the Anaheim Union Water company during the year ending December 31, shows a net loss of $16,757.43 in its operations in water and oil during the year. The board was composed of Arthur Staley, W. J. M. Heinz and S. C. Hartranft. These gentlemen spent several days on the books and records of the company, and made their report to the stockholders at the annual meeting on Saturday. Again when the roll was called Saturday morning it was found there was no quorum present. Out of a total of 8004 shares only 2885 responded at roll call, so no official business could be transacted, and the old board of directors will hold over for another year. The board is composed of H. Hale, J. C. Tuffree, O. P. Rust, A. G. Miller, Bert Annin, George J. Holmes and J. Charles Thamer. The report shows that the total income received during the year from the sales of water, cement, pipe, etc., was $86,683.08, from oil royalties $40,-316.12, and from assessments $79,840, making a total income of $206,842.20. The gross operating expense, including taxes interest, etc., amounted to $104,302.45. The depreciations in real estate, construction work, etc., amounted to $119,297.18, making the total expense account $223,599.63, leaving a net loss of $16,757.43. The auditors complimented Secretary Leo Sheridan for the efficient manner in which he had conducted the office during the past year. The report wound up with the following: "We have recommended that the outstanding notes be refunded as rapidly as possible into notes coming due $25,000 per year on or before from one to ten years, to mature about July 1st of each year. At this time of the year we usually have more money on hand, and our bonds mature on the second of January, so that we would not be required to raise the entire amount to be paid on our indebtedness at one time. We believe that the present holders of our notes will readily agree to this refunding plan, and the company will secure all of the advantages of a bond issue without the expense and trouble incident thereto." "We note that the rates for water have been increased about 20 per cent, and that the water should therefore bring in about $100,000 during 1922, if the sales are about the same as for 1921." PROPOSES TELEPHONE EXCHANGE FOR RANCHERS Plans for the development of a telephone system by the Orange County Farmers' and Merchants' association will be discussed at a meeting of the organization to be called soon, according to a statement by Charles Eygabroad, of Anaheim-president of the association. "We shall probably work out some plan whereby we shall be connected with the farm bureau sections," Eygabroad said, "and have long distance connections with the city systems. No definite arrangements have been made however, and members of our association will be asked to present their ideas at the meeting when it is called by Secretary H. B. Woodrough, of Costa Mesa." The Orange County Farmers' and Merchants' association obtained the right to organize a telephone system through a decision by the state supreme court several days ago, affirming the decision of Superior Judge R. Y. Williams in the case of the people of California vs. Charles Knowlton, of Fullerton. Knowlton was the plain tiff in a friendly suit to determine the status of the association in its plan to organize a mutual telephone system in the county. PIONEER CITIZEN PASSES TO THE BEYOND Henry Burdorf Died at His Home on Orangethorpe Tuesday Morning Henry Burdorf one of the oldest and most well-known citizens of Anaheim has passed away peacefully at his home in Orangethorpe Tuesday morning. He was born in New York City in 1875 and raised there until he graduated from Harvard University in 1895. After serving in World War I as a member of the United States Army Corps of Engineers, he returned to Anaheim and began working as a civil engineer. He was known for his innovative designs and engineering skills, and his contributions to the field of civil engineering were widely recognized. He was also a prominent figure in Anaheim's community, serving as a local councilman and mayor for many years. He was known for his kindness and generosity, and his efforts to improve the quality of life in Anaheim were widely appreciated. His death was deeply felt by his family and friends. He is remembered as a pioneering engineer who made significant contributions to the field of civil engineering and served as a local councilman and mayor for many years.

We note that the rates for water have been increased about 20 per cent, and that the water should therefore bring in about $100,000 during 1922, if the sales are about the same as for 1921. "The undersigned, members of the board of audit, have carefully examined all books, papers and other records appertaining to the business of the company for the year ending December 31, 1921, and find that the same have been kept in a correct, neat, and intelligent manner." Superintendent Wallop has had a strenuous job on his hands repairing damage caused by the recent high water. At one time he had 150 men on the work. His report showing the work accomplished during the year was submitted, and is also printed in the book of audit. He closes with the following: "As a result of the recent heavy rains we lost about three hundred feet of our cement ditch between the head gate and the piling which was driven in 1916. The ditch, which washed out is part of the ditch in which we placed the new bottom in the early part of the year. We have started to rebuild this ditch and with good weather will have the water back in the ditches in about six weeks. Considerable damage was also done some of our larger main distributing ditches by the water getting back of the walls and crushing them in. These have all been repaired with few exceptions and while it was not as serious as the damage done at the head of the ditch all these smaller PIONEER CITIZEN PASSES TO THE BEYOND Henry Burdorf Died at His Home on Orangethorpe Tuesday Morning Henry Burdorf, one of the oldest and best known citizens of this section, died at his home on East Orange thorpe avenue Tuesday morning, having been in failing health for some months past. Advancing age was the principal cause of his death, as he had passed his 81st birthday. Mr. Burdorf was one of the sturdy pioneers who helped reclaim this section from its wild state. He came here in 1869 from San Francisco, following closely in the footsteps of the colonists. On his arrival he purchased the ranch on Orangethorpe, where he has made his home during the more than half a century of his residence here. Mr. Burdorf was born in Hanover, Germany, on September 18, 1840. In 1867 he came to America and resided for a short time in San Francisco, and in 1869 came down to Anaheim and became a rancher. Ten years later he went back to Germany on a visit and while there was married to Miss Dorothea Woehler. Nine children were born of this union, eight of whom are still living. Mr. Burdorf was one of the founders of the Zion Lutheran church in this city, and has been one of its most prominent members since its organization. Funeral services will be held at Backs & Terry's chapel Saturday morning, Rev. H. G. Schmelzer having charge." AHEIM GAZETY Anaheim, California, Thursday, February 2, 1922 TALK PAVING ON CLEMENTINE STREET CERTAIN PROPERTY OWNERS WANT THE WORK DONE BY PRIVATE CONTRACT City Manager Will Round Up Residents and Make Reports Later—Trustees Unable to Accept Proposal of G. W. Hamler to Purchase Half of City Park, Owing to Pre-Election Resolution—Mr. Steward Presents New Schedule for Electric Charges. Clementine will perhaps be the next street ordered paved, but the work will probably be done by private contract. City Manager Steward reported to the trustees Friday that certain property owners on that thoroughfare favored paving, and believed that it could be done at a cheaper figure now while a paving outfit is here engaged on the Chartres street work. Clementine is developing into a business street, and there will be much traffic. C.E. UTT'S PLAN FOR WATER CONSERVATION Would Build a Dam at Prado Forming a 7000-Acre Reservoir. The plan conceived by C. E. Utt, of Tustin, for building a dam at Prado for the purpose of creating a great reservoir for irrigating a large tract of Orange county land, was presented to the Associated Chambers at Yorba Linda last Wednesday night by Chairman Ahlborn, of the water conservation committee. The committee recently visited the site of the proposed dam, accompanied by an engineer and Mr. Ahlborn's report embodied the findings of the committee after making the investigation. The system would cost $10,000,000, it is estimated, and the lake formed by the dam would cover 7000 acres of ground. After preliminary surveys have been made and temporary organization perfected, members of the committee are inclined to believe that the project could be successfully launched by the formation of a huge water district. This district, it was pointed out by individual members, could be formed under the authority of a state act approved June 10, 1913. This act, among other things, provides for the incorporation, organization and management of country water districts, provides for the acquisition of water rights of the construction thereby of ANAHEIM KIWANIS ENTERTAIN VISITORS THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEN AND WOMEN SPEND A PLEASANT EVENING Santa Ana, Fullerton and Anaheim Clubs Banquet at Elks' Club House and Indulge in Revelry and High Jinks—Speeches by Orators of Renown and Inspiring Music Help Entertain a Crowd of 350. KIwanis of three cities, accompanied by their wives, banquetted at the Elks' club house Friday evening, and after satisfying their appetites spent an hour or two in revelry and high jinks. There were 350 men and women in the crowd, the Anaheim Kiwanis club playing host to the clubs of Santa Ana and Fullerton. Wives of the members were guests of their husbands, and every Kiwanis was accompanied by his better half—if he had one. It was 8 o'clock when the 350 set down on the banquet in Clementine will perhaps be the next street ordered paved, but the work will probably be done by private contract. City Manager Steward reported to the trustees Friday that certain property owners on that thoroughfare favored paving, and believed that it could be done at a cheaper figure now while a paving outfit is here engaged on the Chartres street work. Clementine is developing into a business street, and there will be much traffic on it hereafter, consequently pavement is necessary. Mr. Steward will interview all the property owners on the street on the proposition, and it is believed a majority of them will agree to immediate paving. The proposition of G. W. Hamler to purchase the west half of the park site for $100,000, which is the amount the city paid for the whole tract less than a year and a half ago, was presented to the trustees at Friday's meeting and promptly turned down. The resolution adopted by the board previous to the election at which the park bonds were voted, makes it impossible for the board to dispose of any part of the ground or use it for any other than park purposes. Many people will regret that the Hamler proposition could not be accepted, and the money used for beautifying the remaining ten acres, but the trustees are bound by their own resolution and their hands are tied. It appears that the city owns a sandy tract of land near Olive which was purchased for a gravel pit. It is a very small tract and the only product it will ever yield is sand. F. A. Blake, of the Olive Milling company, appeared before the board and offered the city $150 for it. He stated that the milling company had sold to the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company a ten acre tract of land for $3400, and that this Anaheim gravel pit was a section of the ten acres and must be included in the deed. The city paid $100 for it, he said, and had no right-of-way to reach it. He offered $150 for it. The matter was referred to the city attorney who discovered the next day that Mr. Blake was mistaken in his statement, as the city had paid $150 for the patch and possessed a legal right-of-way to reach it. A new schedule of prices for electric lights was presented by City Manager Steward, which would considerably reduce the cost to some of the heavy users. Under this schedule consumers of under 500 kilowatts would pay at the rate of 7 cents, affected members of the committee are inclined to believe that the project could be successfully launched by the formation of a huge water district. This district, it was pointed out by individual members, could be formed under the authority of a state act approved June 10, 1913. This act, among other things, provides for the incorporation, organization and management of country water districts, provides for the acquisition of water rights of the construction thereby of waterworks, for the acquisition of all property necessary therefor, and for the distribution and sale of water by said districts. Although no comprehensive surveys have been made of the proposed site, Utt, after making a brief preliminary survey, said it seemed likely that the lake would cover approximately several square miles, extending toward Corona, taking in Frado, and running well out toward Chino. This would necessitate the re-routing of the Santa Fe tracks, the railroad crossing the river at its stone quarry, half a mile below its present crossing, hence straight to the packing house district at Corona, through an immense cut in the canyon. The railroad mileage would be less, he said, with no increase in the present grade. Dirt from this cut could be used in the construction of a dam 1000 feet thick at the bottom and 200 feet thick at the top, with a cellular reinforced concrete core in the center, so strong that it would itself hold the load. The project, if carried out, would also make it necessary to change the route of the Santa Ana canyon highway near Prado, routing this through the same canyon Utt proposes to use for the Santa Fe right of way. "We would condemn possibly 7000 acres of land in order to irrigate 100,000 acres," Utt said, "and to my mind the plan is entirely feasible. Of course, there are obstacles in the way and the project is purely visionary at present, but visions sometimes come true and obstacles can be surmounted. If we build a dam at Prado, the initial cost will be big, but think of the countless millions we will add to the wealth of Orange county. What would it cost? I have no way of determining at this time. All this is for the future. Much work remains to be done before we could even think of the cost. Some have said ten million dollars—a huge sum of money. But what is ten million compared with the many millions that would accrue in the future?" Hailanis of three cities accompanied by their wives, banquetted at the Elks' club house Friday evening, and after satisfying their appetites spent an hour or two in revelry and high jinks. There were 350 men and women in the crowd, the Anaheim Kiwanis club playing host to the clubs of Santa Ana and Fullerton. Wives of the members were guests of their husbands, and every Kiwanis was accompanied by his better half—if he had one. It was 8 o'clock when the 350 persons sat down to the banquet in the spacious dining room. The officers of the three clubs, with their wives, were seated—at a table stretched across the end of the banquet room. W. T. Wallop, president of the Anaheim club, presided, with Dr. W. H. Wickett, of Fullerton, acting as toastmaster. Fellinge's orchestra played inspiring music during the course of the banquet. After the eats had been disposed of everybody turned himself loose, determined to spend a pleasant evening himself, and see that the others enjoyed themselves. They demonstrated that men and women are only children grown tall. Led by Dr. P. H. Mattner, of Fullerton, opened the noise period with a song and yell and was followed immediately by the Santa Ana Kiwanis club singing "Hall,' Hall, the Gang's All Here," with adaptations that fitted the occasion. Here is the song: Hail, hail, the gang's all here, Anaheim we greet you, Fullerton we meet you; Hail, hail, the gang's all here, Santa Ana's our home town. Hail, hail, the gang's all here, That’s the way we spell it, That’s the way you tell it; Hail, hail, the gang's all here, Kiwanis is the big word now. At the end of each verse a yell was developed by Kiwanis being spelled out letter by letter, and the name pronounced with a bang. The greeting made a great hit and was followed with a stunt in which toy balloons and an imitation cake were featured. A large sized box frosted and decorated as a cake was brought in on the shoulders of Stanley Reed, Raymond Miles, K. L. Crawford and Arnold Peek, the men being dressed in white uniforms and caps. Instantly Santa Ana Kiwanis rose to their feet and liberated balloons in hand as balloons were matter was referred to the city attorney who discovered the next day that Mr. Blake was mistaken in his statement, as the city had paid $150 for the patch and possessed a legal right-of-way to reach it. A new schedule of prices for electric lights was presented by City Manager Steward, which would considerably reduce the cost to some of the heavy users. Under this schedule consumers of under 500 kilowatts would pay at the rate of 7 cents, between 500 and 2000, 6 cents, over 2000 5 cents. Only a few customers in town reach the latter figure, but the new rate will mean a considerable saving to them. W. E. Duckworth, of the J. T. Lyon Realty company, asked that a certain map of Elk Park tract extension be returned for modification and the order of adoption be rescinded. It is the intention of the company to remodel the map and abandon certain streets and alleys. THOUGHT IT WAS MANNA When feathery flakes of snow began falling Sunday at Bloomington, one or the big poultry sections of the River side district, the ever alert white leg horn chickens rushed out of their pens to partake of what they believed to be a feast. There was a hurrying and scurrying over the chicken yards in their attempt to grab snowflakes and the disappointment to the feathered tribe was shown when after many futile attempts to pick up the flakes, they dropped their feathers and trailed back to the pens disgusted. This was the first fall of snow these inhabitants of the sunny south had ever experienced and like everything else that falls to the ground it looked like food to them. If we build a dam at Prado, the initial cost will be big, but think of the countless millions we will add to the wealth of Orange county. What would it cost? I have no way of determining at this time. All this is for the future. Much work remains to be done before we could even think of the cost. Some have said ten million dollars—a huge sum of money. But what is ten million compared with the many millions that would accrue in the future? TRACTOR PRICES REDUCED Declaring that farmers must put their business on a paying basis by lowering the costs of planting, cultivating and harvesting crops, Henry Ford announces a radical cut in the price of Fordsons tractors, the decrease amounting to $230 and establishing the f. o. b. Detroit price at $395. Prior to this the price was $625. The new price means that Fordsons tractors can be bought here for $505 as against $735, the prevailing quotation previously. Announcement of the reduction was made by Ford in a wireless statement broadcast from St. Louis to farmers of the country from the Northville station there. "I have been a farmer all my life," Ford said, "and now I am doing everything possible to cut the cost or farming. I think it will help the country to make farm machinery cheaper as spring is coming on." "Production costs of farm products are still too close to selling prices to allow a fair margin of profit," Ford stated. Ford said that in cutting the price of tractors nearly 50 per cent the company had "taken upon itself a gigantic task of reducing manufacuring costs, but which is not greater than the farmers' problems of today." The greeting made a great hit and was followed with a stunt in which toy balloons and an imitation cake were featured. A large sized box frosted and decorated as a cake was brought in on the shoulders of Stanley Reed, Raymond Miles, E. L. Crawford and Arnold Peek, the men being dressed in white uniforms and caps. Instantly Santa Ana Kiwanis rose to their feet and liberated balloons in hand as balloons were released from the cake. The Anaheim club then came forward with noise balloons and they were passed to everyone and the diners broke into another period of rampant, riotous fun that continued for fifteen or twenty minutes. Papier mache hats, supplied by Anaheim, decorated the heads of men and women, and added to the picturesque scene in the hall. Larger balloons later were released by the Anaheim club. A. B. McCord led the Anaheim club in singing. The banquet was climaxed with men and women forming in line and marching about the hall in lockstep, the dining room manager availing himself of the opportunity to clear the hall temporarily by directing the marching line to upstairs rooms. The tables were quickly pushed to one side, when the revelers re-entered, the hall for the program that was to have taken place with the diners at their positions at the tables and which was interfered with by the organization of the march. The program was as follows: Five-minute talk, Freeman H. Bloodgood, Santa Ana; music, Fullerton Kiwanis club; five-minute talks, S. C. Hartranft, Anaheim, and Dale King, Fullerton, and selection by quintetts from Anaheim club. ORGANIZE LOAN FIRM IN TWO CITIES Will Have Offices in Both Anaheim and Santa Ana The Continental Finance corporation of Anaheim and Santa Ana has been organized and arrangements are being completed for opening offices in the two cities. It is intended to make the corporation strictly an Orange county institution, with Orange county men directing its operation. The president and secretary are now residing in Los Angeles, but will take up residence in Anaheim and Santa Ana immediately. The purpose of the organization is to loan money on real estate and personal property and handle automobile contract paper. It will be in position to give service in these lines according to statements of men connected with the new organization. The officers are: President, H. E. Forster, formerly with the Guaranty Trust and Savings bank, Los Angeles; vice-presidents, Charles Eygabroad, S. C. Hartranft, Anaheim; P. A. Robinson and L. J. Carden, Santa Ana; treasurer, A. E. Hargrove, Anaheim; secretary, A. H. Seeley, formerly business manager of subsidiary of the Kline Motor corporation of York, Pa., and more recently auditor in charge of finances of the Peterson corporation of Los Angeles PAID SECRETARY WANTED BY THE MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION WILL PROBABLY HAVE A MAN ON THE JOB ALL THE TIME Many Subjects Discussed at the Annual Meeting and Banquet Monday Night—Solicitors for Money for Unworthy Causes, and Fake Advertising Schemes Condemned—Credit Bureau Will Probably Be Established for Protection of Business Men. Reorganization, with a salaried secretary on the job all the time, was discussed upon at the annual meeting and banquet of the merchants' association held at the Elks' club house Monday evening. There were seventy-five business men present and every one signed an agreement to contribute something monthly toward the salary of a paid secretary. Another meeting will be held on February 13, at which time the matter will again be considered and definite action taken. The officers are: President, H. E. Forster, formerly with the Guaranty Trust and Savings bank, Los Angeles; vice-presidents, Charles Eygabroad, S. C. Hartranft, Anaheim; P. A. Robinson and L. J. Carden, Santa Ana; treasurer, A. E. Hargrove, Anaheim; secretary, A. H. Seeley, formerly business manager of subsidiary of the Kline Motor corporation of York, Pa., and more recently auditor in charge of finances of the Peterson corporation of Los Angeles.

Jensen, president of First National bank, Watts; Horace Fine, Santa Ana; J. F. Doty, Fullerton; L. B. Berger, Anaheim. Capitalization is for $500,000 divided into 5000 shares of $100 each. SUPERVISORS WONT OBJECT That no actual steps will be taken by Orange county to block the application for franchise made by the Coast Truck line, proposing to operate between Los Angeles and San Diego, although the county supervisors are on record as opposed to granting any further franchises until a larger tax is paid by truck and stage lines, was indicated by District Attorney A. P. Nelson. In view of a recent communication from the state railroad commission, before which the application is now pending, the supervisors' objection to such franchises, based on their belief that the tax paid by such truck and stage lines is not commensurate with the damage they cause to the highways, could not be weighed by the commission in considering the application. Franchise matters, the commission states, are governed only by the showing that public necessity and convenience require such lines as make application. Tax matters must be remedied by legislation first, the commission contends. The only ground on which the supervisors could actually protest franchises would be questioning the public necessity or convenience claims. The Coast Truck line proposes to serve all intermediate points between Los Angeles and San Diego recites, in support of its application, that vegetable and fruit shippers are in need of the service and reorganization, with a salaried secretary on the job all the time, was invited upon at the annual meeting and banquet of the merchants' association held at the Elks' club house Monday evening. There were seventy-five business men present and every one signed an agreement to contribute something monthly toward the salary of a paid secretary. Another meeting will be held on February 13, at which time the matter will again be considered and definite action taken. One of the burdens piled upon the shoulders of the merchants is the schemes, many of them fakes or unworthy, to which they are solicited for subscriptions. H. E. W. Barnes, president of the association, introduced this matter and discussed it at some length. It was also pointed out that merchants are frequently swindled by fake or unprofitable advertising schemes. It was suggested that the business men, who are always the first to be solicited, make certain hereafter that any proposition presented to them is a legitimate one before contributing. The matter of a credit bureau was also discussed and will probably be adopted. Many merchants do only a cash business, but there are others who extend credit to customers, and for their protection it is proposed to have all customers rated on a list in order to apprise the seller of the dead beat or the many unworthy of credit. With such a list on hand it is believed that many a bad account could be saved. William Falkenstein suggested that the front windows of all stores be illuminated at night, at least until the bed-time hour, as it would give the city a liveller appearance. The "fly-by-night" peddler and the out-of-town contractor were brought under discussion and universally condemned, and it was argued that a city ordinance might be framed that would protect hte local business men from outsiders who have no interest in the city and contribute nothing to its support. Trustees Gates replied that the city dads were willing to co-operate with the merchants in every way possible for their protection, but the laws and constitution of the state limited the power and authority of municipal law makers. Addresses were also made by Secretary Fraser, of the Chamber of Commerce, Albert Graham, William Goodrum, commander of the Anaheim Legion Post, W. B. Holland and others. be a great hit and stunt in which an imitation cake charge sized box and as a cake was shoulders of Standard Miles, E. L.

MURIETTA TRIAL FEBRUARY 9 Jose Murietta, Mexican, who was alleged to have confessed to an attempted $5000 burglary of the Prince dry goods store of this city, but who pleaded not guilty to the charge when brought into court is awaiting trial February 9 at 9:30 a.m. before Judge Z. B. West in department one of the superior court. Murietta, said to have been one of four Mexicans involved in the so-called "dream weed burglary attempt, appeared last week with his attorney. E. R. Orfila, of Los Angeles, and entered a plea of not guilty. After the burglars had been surprised in the Prince store, Anaheim police officers pursued and captured Murietta, who was driving a car ana was supposed to have been waiting near the store to receive his alleged confederates and their loot. A case of marijuana, or Mexican "dream weed," was found in the car when he was captured. The other members of the alleged gang, including Mike Rivera, of Garden Grove, and Anton Marriaz, of Delhi, have since been arrested on a similar charge in San Diego county. port.

INCOME TAX MAN TO BE IN ANAHEIM The following letter has been received from W. J. Ward, deputy tax collector. If you are uncertain about your income tax or are having any trouble with your report, Mr. Ward will straighten you out. In his letter he says: I will be in Anaheim on February 8 and 9, 1922, at the city hall to receive income tax returns for the year 1921, and to assist in their preparation. Will appreciate it very much if you will have this information circulated as much as possible, emphasizing the fact that deputy will be in Anaheim only on above dates. It will facilitate matters if the taxpayers will have their returns filled out so that they may be checked and and acknowledged without any delay; however, will be glad to assist any who are troubled and interpret any part of regulations not thoroughly understood. Advise taxpayers to come as early as possible and bring with them forms received by mail. Any taxpayers in doubt as to liability for filing a return should con-sult deputy as liability for filing return may exist even though they have no tax to pay.
