ACCIDENT COMMISSION MAKES ANNUAL REPORT The biennial report of the Industrial Accident Commission, the first since its removal to its new headquarters in the State Building located in San Francisco's Civic Center, is now in the hands of Governor Friend W. Richardson. A very important feature of the report indicates that notwithstanding the tremendous increase in its activities, the commission, with John A. McGilvray as Chairman, is successfully operating with reduced budget of approximately $500,000. The successful operation of the commission's business with this enormous reduction has been accomplished by the application of new methods designed to insure specifier compensation to injured employees at a greater saving of funds to the people of the State of California. The old method of transcribing each case decided, a custom unnecessarily wasteful of both time and money, has been eliminated. The only cases that are now transcribed comprise those reviewed by the Supreme and Appellate courts. This innovation has facilitated the work of the commission, permitting a speedier determination of cases and prompt payment to the injured employee. In addition to this, the work of the commission's safety department has been coordinated both as to the work and personnel. During the period covered by the report, the social and economic status of injured employees throughout the state has been greatly benefited by affording more effective rehabilitation through the agency of lump sum payments to those either seriously or permanently injured.

Report of the Board of Audit for the Year December 31, 1923 ANAHEIM, DECEMBER TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE ANAHEIM UNION WATER GENTLEMEN:—YOUR BOARD OF AUDIT SUBMITTS THIS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1923.

During the period covered by the report, the social and economic status of injured employees throughout the state has been greatly benefited by affording more effective rehabilitation through the agency of lump sum payments to those either seriously or permanently injured. The commission has cooperated with the constantly increasing manufacturing and industrial enterprises throughout the state as the report shows a most exhaustive survey of the conditions of employment and suggests numerous reforms. A most interesting feature of the report is the statement of the commission's medical department prepared by Dr. Morton R. Gibbons. It stresses the individual treatment of the injured employee including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and work treatment. It demonstrates the various reactions by different employees to identically the same kind of injury, due to personal differences in the nervous endowment of human beings. As a result of this investigation, Dr. Gibbons suggests a more scientific intelligent and considerate study of these cases by a closer application to the necessities of each one. Other features of this report are discussions of the surgical work of this department with special reference to new observations on the occurrence of hernia in industrial cases. The report submitted to the Governor indicates that the work of the commission, though greatly increased in scope and amount of work, has been accomplished with a substantial saving of funds that promises well for a further reduction and a strict compliance to the budget requirements. SPAIN HAS A GOOD CUSTOMER Our Consul General at Barcelona, Spain, reports that declared exports from Spain to the United States have shown a steady increase in the past three years. "Total exports to continental United States in 1923 were $3,466,940 greater than in 1922, and $5,831,023 greater than in 1921." The total for 1921 was $26,488,000; for 1922 it was $28,852,000; and for 1923, $32,318,000. When the Fordney-McCumber law first went into operation there was considerable protection voiced from Spain. II.

"Total exports to continental United States in 1923 were $3,466,940 greater than in 1922, and $5,821,023 greater than in 1921."

When the Fordney-McCumber law first went into operation there was considerable protest voiced from Spanish quarters, ostensibly concerning the rates of walnuts, olives, raisins, and other commodities competing with California products. It was even intimated that Spain would begin reprisals because of the new U.S. tariff rates. The real protest, it afterwards developed, came from the importers in this country of Spanish goods. The When the Fodney-McCumber law somewhat with their profits. Spain has voiced no objection to the American tariff, nor is she likely to do so with business as good as it is. It wouldn't be reasonable. Nor are other countries raising any alarm about our tariff. It is all being done in this country by the importers of foreign goods. They can't bear it to share a little of their cumshaw with the Federal Government. Mr. Mellon is proceeding on the theory, almost unique in politics, that every one is entitled to a share of a surplus to which every one has contributed. And it shows how far and how unresistingly we have climbed down the road to confiscation when almost everybody is astounded and incredulous over a proposal to reduce taxes. Twenty-four senators were in Europe last summer. That may be the reason the Senate is having so much trouble organizing. ANAHEIM GAZETTE AUDIT for the Year Ending December 31, 1923 ANAHEIM, DECEMBER 31, 1923. THE ANAHEIM UNION WATER COMPANY: OF AUDIT SUBMITS THE FOLLOWING DECEMBER 31, 1923. OIL PRODUCTION Barrels Our Royalty 1913, Gross Production $73,122.02 1914, Gross Production 820,015.51 64,335.31 1915, Gross Production 833,300.02 59,594.65 1916, Gross Production 506,730.08 39,468.58 1917, Gross Production 402,139.85 59,510.36 1918, Gross Production 329,281.71 52,966.68 1919, Gross Production 234,617.96 43,136.51 1920, Gross Production 181,768.72 31,666.26 1921, Gross Production 207,883.81 40,316.12 1922, Gross Production 222,508.83 30,761.50 1923, Gross Production 179,666.16 16,036.38 Total to January 1, 1924 = 3,897,912.65 = $510,704.37 We note that the water accounts have been collected more closely than many years, the total outstanding, including $237.30 charged to oil wells in December, is $427.47. The indebtedness of the Company has been reduced $25,300.00 being about the amount of the $3.00 assessment. We believe the indebtedness should be reduced even more next year. Water sales probably brought $10,000 more than the average this last year, and the oil revenue gets smaller each year; the growth of the country and the demands of the cities within our boundaries continually force us to construct new pipe lines, so that no reduction can be expected in the cost of new construction. The stockholders must therefore expect to meet the reduction in indebtedness by assessments. The Company's office location has become almost too valuable for our use, as we do not really require a city office. We would suggest to the Board of Directors, for investigation, the proposition of locating the office on the Company's property at the corner of Placentia and Orangethorpe Avenues. This is near the intersection of the three telephone districts of Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia, and it would thus be possible for all of the stockholders to reach the office through their own telephone exchange, thereby saving telephone charges to the stockholders as well as to the company. This location is also near the Company's warehouse and pipe yard, and is nearer the center of our district. 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, 1923, and find that the same have been kept in a correct, neat, clear and intelligent manner, and that the foregoing is a full, true and complete report taken from the books covering the above mentioned period.
