W. Price. This report was the most comprehensive and complete financial document ever issued by a city official. It enumerates the expenditures estimated in the budget for each department of the government and for each month of the fiscal year, which begins on November 1, the date taxes become due, and also the amount expended each month. This budget was prepared by Mr. Price at the beginning of the fiscal year. The estimated income of the city during the year was $264,050.67, and the city manager based his estimate of expenditures on this figure. This gave the board an average approximately of $22,000 per month to spend, and Mr. Price pared down his budget as much as possible to get it within this limit. Solving a crossword puzzle was child's play compared to what he undertook, but he finally evolved the following table, limiting the amounts that each department could spend: City Manager $ 4,500.00 City Farm 3,044.67 City Clerk 6,850.00 City Council 3,200.00 City Attorney 2,625.00 City Treasurer 1,500.00 City Hall 7,760.00 Bookkeeping 950.00 Engineering and Building 11,110.00 Board of Health 600.00 Community Service 1,200.00 Auto Camp 100.00 Dump Grounds 1,500.00 Police Department 20,190.00 Rate Collector 4,800.00 Light and Water Dept. 123,500.00 Insurance 4,845.00 Street Department 38,446.00 City Park 12,800.00 Fire Department 6,230.00 Total $264,050.67 Mr. Price was somewhat dismayed when he found that the board had expended $67,405.58 during the months of November, December and January—$140 above his estimate. Furthermore, this happened during the winter, which is the season of lowest expenditure. Price had visions of a heavy deficit in the fall, but when the new board took charge, early in February, there was a radical change in the affairs of government. While the expenditures in January were $22,203.93, in February they dropped to $17,224.49. The total amounts spent during the six months from November 1 to April 30 were as follows: November $22,686.74 December 22,519.91 January 22,203.95 February 17,224.49 March 18,934.89 April 21,855.88 Instead of being confronted with a deficit, as indicated by the cost of government during the first three months of the fiscal year, Price found himself with a surplus of $7,744.62 at the end of six months. He expects that his budget estimate will be shaved at least $15,000 during the year ending October 31. In their efforts to give the people of Anaheim an economical government, MANY ENTERED FOR HILL CLIMB Laguna Canyon Site of This Year's Contest Some of the famous motorcycle racers of the state and nation will participate in the program of the annual hill climb, to be held Sunday, June 28, in Laguna canyon, it was declared today by Everett R. Skaggs, president of the Orange County Motorcycle Club, which is promoting the big classie. Entries already made disclose that many stars of former contests held at the San Juan Capistrano hill will be among those who will start their mounts up the stiff grade of the hill in Laguna canyon that has been selected as the site for the future annual hill climbs of the club. Among those already signed for appearance here are Dud Perkins of San Francisco, several times winner of the free-for-all at Capistrano; Malcolm Ord, Long Beach; "Spots" Elders, Fresno; George Faulders, Oakland, and Noel McIntyre, San Diego. Other riders of note are expected to enter before entries close. There will be four events, and those who have attended past climbs know that the number is enough to fill an entire afternoon. The card will start promptly at 12 o'clock, and the events will be run as fast as possible. The location of the new site is about one mile from Laguna Beach. Ample ground has been secured for parking automobiles of the 40,000 or 50,000 persons who are expected to be present. The event is nationally known and many motorists travel from distant parts of California and adjoining states in order to witness the climb. At its steepest point, the new course has an 80 per cent grade, according to Skaggs. The coming contest on the new course promises a repetition of some of the old-time thrills—some of the thrills of the type that featured the first years of the meet at the Capistrano hill. The Laguna Beach Chamber of Commerce, Skidmore Brothers and businessmen of Laguna are co-operating with the club officials. There will be no charge for parking of automobiles, but a collection will be taken to help the club defray some of its expenses. Clyde Alling of the Cherry Blossom again has secured concessions for refreshments and lunch counters. There was a beautiful Bonfire church at 8 morning, June 22, where Montenyohl became the C. Mattis Rev., Father ing. The bride's attire was Viola Lensing, while supported by Dr. George The bride wore a dress trimmed with point caught up with brilli showers.- She carried off of the valley and a sk bride's roses. The bride dressed orchid george and flowers to match. The bride was given father Frank Monterding presents were nut and valuable, one of the stantial sum of Liberty from the groom's face Mattis. Shortly after young couple left by nature home in Berkeley tnis is employed and wants expect to continue her university. Both have a host of warm hein, and many good them. Walnut Grove For Ree Involving a spot vof $65,000, ownership o f nut grove o Elmer o f the Santa Ana bran Southwest bank, was tone Borchard, one o ranchers o f the Green o a member o f a plone November 22,1946 December 22,1946 January 22,1946 February 17,1946 March 18,1946 April 21,1946 Instead of being confronted with a deficit, as indicated by the cost of government during the first three months of the fiscal year, Price found himself with a surplus of $7,744.62 at the end of six months. He expects that his budget estimate will be shaved at least $15,000 during the year ending October 31. In their efforts to give the people of Anaheim an economical government, the trustees are not imparing the efficiency of any department. They are simply paring down expenses where money was being spent unnecessarily. There was $77,000 in the general fund on the date of the last meeting of the board. With the amounts added to this from light, water, licenses, fines and other collections, Mr. Price estimates that there will be a handsome surplus in the treasury at the end of the fiscal year, October 31. The present board of trustees is composed of business men, and they believe in running the government in a business-like manner. While they believe that every dollar of public money spent should bring a dollar's worth of value to the taxpayers, they are not disposed to ripple any branch of the service or impair its efficiency by cutting appropriations below its needs. City Manager Price, who is the watchdog of the treasury, is exceedingly well pleased with the first three months' showing. He foresees a handsome surplus at the end of the year, and is also looking forward to the time, which may not be far distant, when the tax levy can be reduced. ORANGE COUNTY VETERANS WILL HOLD ANNUAL PICNIC The Orange County Veterans' Association will hold their annual meeting and picnic dinner at the city park in Fullerton, on the last Saturday in June, being June 27. The Woman's Relief Corps of Fullerton and Anaheim have the dinner program in charge, and the Daughters of Veterans will provide an entertainment program after the business meeting. A good time is promised, so come and bring your baskets. Smaller Fruit Crops Predicted This Year Only fair crops of apples, peaches and pears are now expected in the United States this year. Department of Agriculture crop officials declared today. Frosts in lae May reduced prospects in many scattered sections, particularly in some of the central states, Virginia, Michigan and portions of New York. The condition of apples on June 1 was nearly 10 percent below the usual average on that date. The northwestern states expect more apples than were picked last year, but for the country as a whole the crop seems likely to be lighter, although much depends on the rainfall during the next few months. Peach production shows a large increase in California, where most of the crop is canned or dried, but in practically all other important states the crop is expected to be substantially smaller than last year. Even in Georgia, where many young trees are coming into bearing, the crop is expected to be less than 7,000,000 bushels compared with 8,333,000 bushels last year. We read that 10,000,000 Americans are now playing golf; no wonder plasterers and hod-carriers are scarce. Walnut Grove For Reeves Involving a spot visit of $65,000, ownership of nut grove of Elmer of the Santa Ana branched Southwest bank, was one tone Borchard, one or two ranchers of the Greenbush member of a pioneer community.

Mrs. Quadrumane, when interviewed by a Gazette reporter this morning, was willing to talk, but fought shy of the camera. She stated that her greatest ambition was that her son should become a great lawyer and be able to take a fall out of William Jennings Bryan on the Darwin issue. She said that "Bill" was way off on this monkey business and that he should have been taught in his youth to honor his ancestors. When asked for a photo of the baby, she quoted "Princess" Alice Longworth, and said that no pictures should be taken of the child until it had attained an age where it showed an individual personality. She also stated that she had received several flattering offers from Hollywood but that she didn't approve of these. ANAHEIM PEOPLE JOURNEY IN AN AIRSHIP MR. AND MRS. C. F.

The bride's attendant was Miss Viola Lersing, while the groom was supported by Dr. George Edward Mattis. The bride wore a dress of white crepe trimmed with point lace, and a veil caught up with brilliants and ribbon showers. She carried a bouquet of lilies of the valley and a shower bouquet of bride's roses. The bridesmaid wore a dress of orchid georgettes, with hat and flowers to match. The bride was given away by her Frank Montenyohl. The wedding presents were numerous, beautiful and valuable, one of them being a substantial sum of Liberty bonds, a present from the groom's father, George C. Mattis. Shortly after the ceremony the young couple left by boat for their future home in Berkeley, where Mr. Mattis is employed and where Mrs. Mattis expects to continue her studies at the university.

Paris To London At Home Again, After Four Months Spent in Europe and Palestine—Granted Audience by the Pope While in Rome—Constantinople and Jerusalem Explored, and Picturesque Switzerland Visited, but They Found Nothing So Beautiful as Anaheim. Riding in an airship from Paris, the gay capital of the French, to London, capital of the British empire, was one of the stants performed by Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Grim, who recently returned home safely from a four months' tour of Europe and the Holy Land. According to their friends, Mr. Grim hesitated somewhat before entrusting himself to the care of a pilot who was steering an airship across 250 miles of land and sea, but he finally confided to his wife that he was willing to try anything once. "Whithersoever thou goest I will go," replied Mrs. Grim, "and I will follow wherever you lead." So they bearded the ship and, after buffeting adverse winds plowing through clouds and soaring 3000 feet above the surface of the earth to escape the elements below, finally landed in London 2 hours and 50 minutes after leaving Paris, only 20 minutes behind schedule time. This ship was one of a regular line running between London and Paris. The tiers are enclosed, principally with glass, and have a capacity of 10 passengers. The schedule time is two and one-half hours, or a mile a minute. Mr. and Mrs. Grim left New York on February 3, on the steamship Rotterdam, on a cruise through the Mediterranean sea. They stopped at Gibraltar, Purchal, Nice and all the principal points of interest on the Mediterranean, but left the Rotterdam party at Naples and started on an independent tour.From Naples they traveled northward by rail to Rome and spent some time viewing the interesting sights in the capital of the Christian world. While in Rome they were granted an audience by His Holiness, the Pope. After viewing all that was to be seen in one holy city, they decided to visit another one, so they turned their face eastward toward Jerusalem. They stopped at Constantinople and mangled for a few days with the cosmopolitan population of the capital of what is left of the Turkish empire. In Palestine they visited many points of interest. They explored Jerusalem, capital of Old Judaea, and visited Bethlehem, the cradle of Christianity. On the return trip they stopped at Rome again, then visited Switzerland, France and England. The passage from France to England was made in the airship. Although they enjoyed every day of the wonderful journey, the happiest day of all was the day they reached Anaheim on their return, and were greeted by the friends they left behind them. Sen.

Chester M. Kline Sued for Damages Chester M. Kline, publisher of the San Jacinto Register, and state senator from the district, has been sued by Frank G. Swan for $25,000 damages. The suit is based on an asserted libelous statement said to have been published in the San Jacinto Register about two weeks ago. Senator Kline admitted that he had written and published an article which told of Swan being ousted from the Lion Club at Huntington Beach, first as secretary, and then as a member. The article also told of Swan’s discharge from the Huntington Beach News. Swan also alleges in his complaint that Kline has declared that Swan misappropriated funds while managing the Register during Kline’s attendance at the state legislature in Sacramento. Swan was discharged from the Register by Kline about two weeks before the article appeared in the paper, it is claimed. Swan states that his removal from the Register was brought about by Kline because Swan planned to start another newspaper in San Jacinto. Kline declares that Swan was discharged because Kline found, upon his return, that Swan had not been working to the interests of the Register. Swan claims that the Register article was published with the intention of discrediting him with the San lacinto businessmen. Thirty-eight thousand eight hundred forty-four laws were proposed in the United States last year, of which 10-809 were actually omitted. Our national sport used to be baseball.

Pickwick to Have Express Schedule Recommendations that the Pickwick Stages, now operating a regular half hour schedule between Santa Ana and Los Angeles and way points, establish a special fast express service onitting all way point calls except Anaheim and Fullerton, are under consideration by the management. It was announced by D. D Tompkins, district superintendent, in charge of the Santa Ana branch of the system. These recommendations will be submitted to the general management of the company within a short time. Tompkins stated, adding that there are reasons to believe that they would be acted upon. According to Superintendent Tompkins, the new through service would be for the benefit of those having business in the city and to whom the saving of time is an important factor. To begin with, the new service will be limited to a car in the morning, leaving Santa Ana at 7:30 or 8 o'clock, arriving in Los Angeles-one hour and a half later. If the new service proved a success, additional cars to suit the convenience of patrons would be put on it was explained. Good times are bad times to leaf ANAHEIM—YOUR CITY Founded by German Colonists, 1857 Assessed Value, 1925, $10,500,000 School System Valued at $951,000 Number 37 ENT AT CITY HALL ANNUAL CITRUS INSTITUTE WILL OPEN IN THIS CITY TOMORROW Visitors From All Sections Expected to Be in Attendance—“Fumigation vs. Spraying” to Be One of Subjects Discussed ANAHEIM will play host this week to citrus growers and students of citrus growing from all sections of Southern California. The fourth annual citrus institute is to be held in this city tomorrow and Saturday, the high school auditorium being the place of meeting, and hundreds of growers will be here to listen to the messages brought by experts from the experiment stations. The question of the relative value of fumigation and spraying will be the chief topic discussed, and the good points of both these systems of controlling the pests that devastate the citrus groves will be made known. The meeting is held under the auspices of the farm bureaus of Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Ventura and Los Angeles counties. RECALL ELECTION AGAIN BLOCKED RECALL ELECTION AGAIN BLOCKED Beach Trustees Refuse Demand of Petitioners With plans of recall advocates at Huntington Beach still blocked by an alleged refusal of the city trustees to call a special recall election upon one member of the board, Richard Drew, a second appeal was made to the Superior court Friday in the form of a mandamus petition, filed by W. T. Newland. Newland demands that the trustees be compelled to act on a recall petition and call the election. A previous petition by Newland attempted to mandamus City Clerk W. R. Wright to certify to the sufficiency of the first recall petitions submitted. The petition was denied by Superior Judge F. C. Drumm when the recall petitions were found to be defective. New petitions were prepared and filed with Wright, April 2, demanding the recall of Richard Drew and James Macklin. Macklin resigned recently. The petitions against Macklin will affect his successor, who must be appointed this week at a special meeting of the trustees. Wright certified the petition to the board as sufficient "on information and belief." On advice of City Attorney Blodget, the board referred the petition back to Wright on the ground that his certificate was not sufficient. There the matter has stood. Newland's petition to compel action by the trustees was filed through Attorney A. E. Koepsel of Orange. It declares that the recall proceedings have been regularly conducted, up to the point where the trustees shall call the election, but that the board has "failed, neglected and refused" to act. The recall petition attacks Drew as "exirvagant and incompetent" to serve as a member of the board.

Out of a registration of 11,552, only 2975 votes were cast in Santa Ana Tuesday on the proposition to bond the city in the sum of $1,200,000 for water extensions. Only $84 votes were cast for the bonds the opposition polling 1882 Advocates of a bond issue for harbor construction have been relying on Santa Ana for their heaviest favorable vote, but the result of this election will probably discourage them, as it indicates overwhelming defeat. People are not disposed to vote heavy bond indebtedness upon themselves at the present time. Anaheim is the only town in the county free from water worries now. The sugar factory wells purchased by the trustees some weeks ago will supply abundant water for a generation to come. Mr.'s and Mrs.' Charles Eygabroad and Mr. and Mrs.' A. L. Stearns leave on July 6 for a two months' tour of the Northwest, where Mr. Eygabroad will look over his wheat ranch in South Dakota and will later visit his stock farm in Wisconsin. They go in their own conveyance, and will travel as far east as Chicago. They will visit the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and Yellowstone National Park. They will also visit in Iowa and other states, and on their return will make a stop at Aberdeen.
