ROAD INFORMATION OFTEN HARD TO GET FROM STATES With the annual expenditure for roads and streets in the United States approaching the billion-dollar mark, more accurate information and better means for obtaining it seem necessary, says the bureau of public roads of the United States department of agriculture. One thing very much needed is the concentration of all sorts of information and statistics concerning the roads of the various states in the state highway departments. Engineers of the department are now gathering complete information regarding the road mileage and expenditures in the United States. In many of the states much of the information desired is easily obtainable from mthe state highway department. In the case of Iowa the figures were obtained almost immediately. In other cases it has been necessary to send out numerous questionnaires and sometimes the information has been obtained only after personal visits. In one state 1800 questionnaires had to be sent out to bring in the needed figures, and in some it has been found that practically no records have been kept. For some of the counties in New Mexico questionnaires had to be translated into Spanish before the road officials could understand them. GREAT CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY Accounts of projected building activities along various lines in the United States are highly encouraging and offer a reliable indication of improved business and industrial conditions. Construction work, it has been evident for some time, is one of the initial tasks of the country in a resumption of anything like normal and stabilized conditions. Residence building is several years behind the demand for homes, commercial buildings, have said worse things about the proposed act than to call it unconstitutional, but Senator Curtin may be the man to throw it under the table. The water and power act would authorize the bonding of the state for $500,000,000, which, according to Curtin, places it in the same class as the welfare legislation in so far as loaning the state's credit, prohibited by the constitution, is concerned. Curtin points out that the water and power act would permit the loaning out of sums of the $500,000,000 to cities and counties to aid them in the development of their own water and power, and extending of such aid, he claims would constitute loaning credit. THE THIRTEENTH JUROR A woman was chosen to be the thirteenth juror in a ease now on trial. She was asked if she was not apprehensive concerning the number thirteen, and replied that except that it came between twelve and fourteen, it did not mean anything to her. It is refreshing to know that so sensible a woman has been selected for a position of importance. Superstition is more prevalent than most persons suppose. It may not be said that this particular superstition is worse than others, for in the quality of foolishness, which is the soltary quality they possess, they are all equal. It is possible to make a sort of defense of the superstition that forbids passing under a ladder. The ladder might fall just then, or a carpenter might drop his hammer, or a painter overturn his pot of pigment. Thirteen is as sound and wholesome a number as there is. Nobody grows to maturity without experiencing a thirteenth year. No month on the calendar gets by without its thirteenta day, yet the years and months roll on in a steady process. Disaster does dent of highways, wavings, dations, for the c guard fence on Southern fifth road district by the board. Nothing said work to be done in the Santa Ana Register. Bids to be billed at 11 a.m. March 14. BUYING POINTS Thesecretary of Chamber of Commerce Riverside recently there is a definite increase of populationuation for taxation Beach has had that campaigns for the intion. Other cities is possible to buy fur vertising agencies, vertising campaign definite return on the easily traceable as vertising goods for it. It may sound strang "buying families" in that forbids the sale man beings, but it to the law and San Diego ing it on a wholesale San Diego wanted instead of merely went out and bought market and at a s price. It bought through them San Diego A business transiertaken in a busi city, or rather the nia club in co-opera chamber of commerce K. McCann company concern, and asked vertisements that will lies. It was estimated could secure new reo Accounts of projected building activities along various lines in the United States are highly encouraging and offer a reliable indication of improved business and industrial conditions. Construction work, it has been evident for some time, is one of the initial tasks of the country in a resumption of anything like normal and stabilized conditions. Residence building is several years behind the demand for homes; commercial building has lagged; railroads have not been maintained and improved as traffic required, and highway construction still is far behind the annually increased demands created by motor traffic. The beginning of this year found evidences of greatly enlarged activity, along many of these lines. Residence building and business building showed signs of revival on a large scale, practically throughout the country. For highway building and work connected with it there will be spent this year, according to a calculation by the former chief of the national bureau of public roads, approximately 1 14 billion dollars, nearly twice the sum of last year. In Missouri, for example, the road work now projected will involve an expenditure of 12 14 million dollars. The announcement has been made that for public works there is now available in the country 450 million dollars. This is the form of construction encouraged especially by the national unemployment conference last fall, and some of the work now is under way with the prospect of increased activity before winter has passed. In the purchase of equipment, improvements and track extensions, the railroads already have made plans calling for expenditure of more than 200 million dollars this year, and it is predicted that the total expense for these purposes for the year may be double the sum already involved. Activity of this kind will call for increased employment and will involve a quickening of business in many directions. As spring advances construction work of all kinds may proceed with less difficulty and the optimism which this creates may be extended to still other activities. The sound of the hammer, saw, the rivering machine and the steam shovel should mean a call to renewed confidence in the busy future of the country. It is possible to make a sort of defense of the superstition that forbids passing under a ladder. The ladder might fall just then, or a carpenter might drop his hammer, or a painter overturn his pot of pigment. Thirteen is as sound and wholesome a number as there is. Nobody grows to maturity without experiencing a thirteenth year. No month on the calendar gets by without its thirteenta day, yet the years and months roll on in a steady procession. Disaster does not mar the thirteens, not even when the thirteenth day of the month appears in conjunction with Friday or the week. Many unnecessary questions are asked of prospective jurors. Probably these do not include one touching the talesman's view of thirteen as a portent of catastrophe. But any talesman betraying such superstitious beliefs might be challenged as mentally below the necessary standard. BRYAN IN FLORIDA Information comes out of Florida that Bryan, long identified with Nebraska, desires to represent as senator the southern state that he recently has elected to make his home. By the time of the date of the next election has come, Bryan will be a citizen of Florida, with the right to vote, and the right to be voted for, if he can get his neighbors into the mood. Bryan knows that the Democrats on Nebraska can do nothing for him. Indeed, there is scant reason for supposing that the inclination of that party anywhere, to do anything for him, is at fever heat. It has done much. Three separate times it has backed him for the presidency. He has been a member of congress. He held the highest post in the cabinet, and resigned it. At the San Francisco convention Bryan made as hard a fight as ever in his career, but the majority listened to his fervid remarks without getting converted to the principles advocated in them. The majority, in fact, walked over him in a way that to the spectator, seemed almost heartless. Nebraska Democrats are wet, and Bryan is very dry. Here was a split too wide for bridging, and naturally Bryan sought another field where citizens of his political faith were not rare, and perhaps not overly wet. Doubtless he was welcomed with courtesy. However, that local material should be cast aside in order that the late Nebraskan he sent to the senate... SAYS ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL Over in rather an obscure tart of the old mining section of California, at Sonora, lives John B. Curtin, former state senator and once candidate for governor, now a lawyer with a goodly practice, director of a bank, and an all-round leading citizen. In the senate they called him "Constitutional John because of his inevitable search after something in any proposed law which would make it unconstitutional. And he often found what he was looking for, to the great dismay of many a budding legislator. Incidentally, "Constitutional John" was very active in framing the present state tax scheme, which we do not like at all, down here in Orange county. A short time ago Senator Curtin dropped a bomb-shell into the ranks of the American Legion by declaring that the measures enacted by the legislature at the last session thereof for the relief of ex-service men, were unconstitutional. And he set up such a showing that the attorney general of the state ordered all activities of that kind stopped until the matter could be gone into thoroughly. Now comes "Constitutional John" again, and his object of attack this time is the five hundred million dollar bond act which is offered the people as an initiative act this coming November. Of course a lot of other men Nebraska Democrats are wet, and Bryan is very dry. Here was a split too wide for bridging, and naturally Bryan sought another field where citizens of his political faith were not rare, and perhaps not overly wet. Doubtless he was welcomed with courtesy. However, that local material should be cast aside in order that the late Nebraskan be sent to the senate, does not seem likely. He is not as the carpet-bagger of old reconstruction days, and yet in a fashion, he is a carpetbagger. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Map of tract No. 243 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. The chairman was authorized to approve bond for street work in tract No. 243. Map of tract No. 252 was ordered and received by the board and the same was submitted to the city engineer of the city of Santa Ana. Map of tract No. 261, was ordered received by the board and the same was submitted to the city engineer of the city of Huntington Beach. A resolution for the annexation of the northeast quarter of section 19, township 5 south, range 9 west, S. B. & M., was regularly passed. Hearing on same to be had February 28th, 1922, at 10 a.m. It was ordered that lease with the Yorba Gravel company be recorded with the county recorder of Orange county. The purchasing agent was authorized to purchase material for another bunker and material for another elevator at the gravel pit at Olive. Plans, specifications and profiles, as presented by the county superintendent, in fact, walked over him in a way that to the spectator, seemed almost heartless.

NOTICE FOR BIDS FOR DOING SAID WORK TO BE GIVEN BY PUBLICATION IN THE SANTA ANA DAILY EVENING REGISTER. BIDS TO BE RECEIVED UP TO 11 A.M. MARCH 14. BUYING POPULATION Thesecretary of the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce, speaking in Riverside recently, pointed out that there is a definite ratio between the crease of population and assessed valuation for taxation purposes. Long Beach has had that in mind in its campaigns for the increase in population. Other cities have found that it is possible to buy families through advertising agencies, who conduct advertising campaigns resulting in a definite return on the investment, as easily traceable as the results of advertising goods for sale by ya store. It may sound strange to talk about "buying families" in a free country that forbids the sale or barter of human beings, but I can be done within the law and San Diego is actually doing it on a wholesale scale. San Diego wanted more families and instead of merely wishing for them went out and bought them in the open market and at a surprisingly small price. It bought those families by selling them San Diego. A business transaction, it was undertaken in a business-like way. The city, or rather the San Diego-California club in co-operation with the local chamber of commerce, went to the H.K. McCann company, an advertising concern, and asked it to prepare advertisements that would bring families. It was estimated that if San Diego could secure new residents at a cost of $1000 a family it would be a good dent of highways, with his recommendations, for the construction of a guard fence on South Main street in the fifth road district, were adopted by the board. Notice for bids for doing said work to be given by publication in the Santa Ana Daily Evening Register. Bids to be received up to 11 a.m. March 14.

SEALED PROPOSALS Sealed proposals will be received by the Undersigned Clerk of the City of Anaheim at his office at the City Hall, Center Street, Anaheim, up to Thursday, March 9, 1922, at 8 o'clock, P.M., for the delivery of 3000 barrels in carload lots of crude oil for street work. Delivery of oil to be made whenever ordered by the City of Anaheim. Oil to be delivered f. o. b. track, Los Angeles or intermediate points if shipped by rail, otherwise to be delivered at the City's storage tanks at Anaheim.

The city, or rather the San Diego-California club in co-operation with the local chamber of commerce, went to the H. K. McCann company, an advertising concern, and asked it to prepare advertisements that would bring families. It was estimated that if San Diego could secure new residents at a cost of $1000 a family it would be a good investment, but when the advertising company got on the job it delivered them duly registered at San Diego, at an average cost of $59.55. Two thousand and seven new families were delivered. Eigh hundred off the families are now permanent residents of San Diego. Twelve thousand five hundred families over the United States have become members of the San Diego-California club and 74,000 requests for information have been answered. WEST BROADWAY M. E.
