HARBOR ENCOURAGEMENT Those who, for years past, have worked for the development of Newport harbor, have every reason to feel encouraged as a result of the sincere interest that is being displayed in the harbor at this time by prominent railroad men. As a class, none watches transportation more closely than does the railroad man. Transportation is his business; it is his thought, and his life. He is trained to look ahead, to see things not only as they are today, but as they will be years hence. None is better informed than he on the needs of his line of business. The presence of representative railroad men at the harbor banquet given at St. Ann's Inn, Santa Ana, Thursday night, alone is a matter of consequence. Their expressions of interest in the development of the harbor show that they have a realization of what the harbor is to be. The railroads can be of tremendous force in securing governmental aid for the harbor, and the first step in enlisting their aid has been secured. That is, they have become interested, and there is every reason to believe that their interest is keen, and that it will continue. The representatives who were there were apparently sincere. The fact that the men who were there are executives; not mere figureheads, in railroad organizations, is ample reason for the encouragement that is felt in harbor circles. The banquet was history making in this county, for at no time in past history has there been so large a gathering of representatitive railroad men as gathered at the festal board. MOTOR REGISTRATIONS Upon motion, warrant was ordered drawn to Nat. Carwile for $52.10. It was moved by Director Annin, and seconded by Miller, that an assessment of $3.00 per share be levied upon the subscribed capital stock of the Anaheim Union Water company, payable on or before the 30th day of March, 1923, to the secretary at the office of the corporation at 303 East Center street, Anaheim, Calif. Any stock upon which this assessment shall remain unpaid on the 31st day of March, 1923, will be delinquent and advertised for sale at public auction, and unless payment is made before, will be sold on the 30th day of April, 1923, to pay delinquent assessments, together with the cost of advertising and expense of sale. Upon a roll-call vote, all directors voting "aye," the motion was carried. Robert Murphy requested that this company permit the Gilmore Petroleum company to transfer their contract for the purchase of our royalty oil to him. Upon motion by Miller, seconded by Tuffree, this was referred to the oil committee to investigate and report at the next meeting. OIL COMPANIES SUED The war between the county and oil companies located therein took on the appearance of a real battle Tuesday, when two suits were filed against twenty-one oil corporations, in an effort to restrain them from depositing oil, mud and water on the county highways. The first of a series of similar suits was filed several weeks ago against Huntington Beach firms. Tuesday's during 1922 of $8,384,606.40. Refunds made, brought the net amount to $8,-359,905.29. There were registered in 1922, 822,394 automobiles, classed as pleasure cars, which number places California in second place in the United States, New York leading. Figures compiled by the department show an increase in the registration of automobiles over the previous year of 27.3 per cent. All classifications of registrations show an increase in 1922 over 1921 with the exception of motorcycles and dealers, the largest loss in registrations being in motorcycles, they showing a decrease of 8.1 per cent. Total expenditures of the department for 1922 amounted to $749,676.64, which amount is 9.2 per cent of the net proceeds. EXPECT RUSH FOR LICENSES Anticipating an unprecedented rush for California state licenses this year all branch offices of the Automobile Club of Southern California have started taking applications for the new license numbers. Every motorist who is a member of the organization in this locality is urged to apply at once at the nearest club office for the proper application blanks and do not delay until the last minute. If all auto owners do wait, there will be a final jam which will prevent the smooth handling of the situation at the time when the plates are issued. Eastern visitors who have been touring California and whose cars were registered during 1922 in another state and who are now to take out a 1923 registration here should procure a certificate of registration from the state whence they came and be prepared to prove ownership of their machine when application is requested for registration. Early application of club members is urged, particularly in the branch visited the national orange show at San Bernardino Sunday and established a new record for attendance at the big annual citrus display. With typical mid-summer weather prevailing Saturday and Sunday, thousands accepted the situation to combine a motor trip with a tour to the show. According to people who inspected the display, the variety of exhibits is more extensive than were those at any of the preceding shows. Displays were made by schools and women's organizations, while several tents of side shows gave the fair the appearance of an old-time county fair. Orange county citrus growers did not exhibit very extensively and in awards this county came within the prize money in only two classes. The Santa Ana high school took third in class 20, for the best general display of citrus fruit by-products made and entered by a school. Redlands and San Bernardino high schools were first and second, respectively. Orange county was awarded third prize in the sweepstakes for the best feature display with mechanical device. The Fresno Chamber of Commerce was first and The Riverside Chamber of Commerce second. Grand sweepstakes for the best exhibit of forty boxes of navels went to the American Fruit Growers of Riverside. Orange growers' sweepstakes was taken by L.C.W.Brown, of Highgrove, Riverside county. Lemon sweepstakes were awarded to W.H.Jameson, of Corona, Riverside county. Grapefruit sweepstakes were won by L.C.W.Brown, of Highgrove, Riverside county. Growers' sweepstakes were taken by the Foothills Lemon company, of Corona, Riverside county. THE WAYS AN AUTOIST MAY KEEP OUT OF JAIL 1—Adjust the brakes every 30 days, maintaining between the brake lines. Eastern visitors who have been touring California and whose cars were registered during 1922 in another state and who are now to take out a 1923 registration here should procure a certificate of registration from the state whence they came and be prepared to prove ownership of their machine when application is requested for registration. Early application of club members is urged, particularly in the branch office districts, as these applications will have to be forwarded to club headquarters to be rated and checked for clearance. Do not forget that if your certificate of ownership has been lost, destroyed or so mutilated that it cannot be read, you should go at once to the club branch and procure a fresh duplicate. WHITSELL, SUPERVISOR Leon A. Whitsell, citrus grower, of Villa Park, was appointed as supervisor of the fourth district to succeed N. T. Edwards, of Orange, recently appointed a member of the state highway commission. Whitsell's appointment was announced by Governor Friend W. Richardson Thursday morning.

Whitsell, formerly an attorney in the east, became a resident of Orange ten years ago, and has been engaged in fruit buying, shipping and growing. He has a fine citrus grove on Santiago boulevard at the turn south of the Santiago creek bridge.

THE WAYS AN AUTOIST MAY KEEP OUT OF JAIL 1—Adjust the brakes every 30 days, maintaining between the brake lining and the drum, all the way around, a clearance of about 1-64th of an inch. 2—Keep the right and left wheel brakes operating with equal pressure. To test this out, jack up the rear wheels, start motor, and with the car in high gear, apply the brakes. Both wheels should slow down uniformly. 3—Keep the brake lining clear of oil, road grit and metal particles. 4—Clean the break lining with kerosence once every two or three months. 5—Remove glazed spots on the brake lining by roughening the surface with a round or half-round file. 6—Tighten regularly all lock nuts and rivets, to avoid loosening the turnbuckles and scoring the brake drums. 7—Keep the foot pedal and hand lever in proper position so that the foot pedal will never go down far enough to strike the floor board, and so that the hand lever will never pull back and strike-in its slot. 8—Test both brakes before starting. Apply the brakes slowly. 9—Never let the tires slide. 10—Use the motor as a brake on hills. 11—Try out your brakes, under various conditions, and see how quickly the car will stop. Then in service always add a liberal margin of safety.
