SUPERVISORS CALL ELECTION UPON HARBOR BOND PROPOSAL Matter to Be Carried Direct to the Supreme Court in Order to Settle Question of Legality of Proceedings THE QUESTION of whether or not Orange county can legally issue bonds for Newport harbor development will be decided by the Supreme court in January. The ramifications of the law are such that there has been some doubt on this point consequently a plan has been devised to carry the matter straight to the Supreme court without a waste of unnecessary time in the lower courts. The supervisors, on Tuesday, formally adopted an ordinance calling an election on April 7 for the purpose of voting on a proposition to issue $1,200,000 for harbor work. Prearranged mandamus proceedings, by which it is expected to secure supreme court approval of the bonding proposal, will be under way shortly. It is announced, and the legal points involved are scheduled to be disposed of well in advance of the election date. Thus, it is planned, there will be no cloud upon the election situation. The existing legal doubt will either be dissolved, or in the remotely possible event of an adverse court opinion, there will be ample time to halt useless election proceedings. In the opinion of District Attorney A. P. Nelson and various prominent bond attorneys, there is full assurance that the way will be cleared for the election and the undecided question whether the harbor act governing the bond proceedings applies to Newport Harbor, will be decidedly favorably. Bond attorneys have agreed that the act applies to the local harbor, but for the absolute protection of bond buyers they desire a supreme court decision on the point. The mandamus action is therefore regarded as a mere formality with the outcome virtually assured. Social Welfare Board Looks After the Poor Indigent People and Needy Children Wards of This Board By MRS. J. W. PRICE (Manager Anaheim Social Welfare Department) Is is said that over two-thirds of the nation's population live in its towns and cities, going there for trade, sociability, recreation and enlightenment. This fact makes the town and its development vastly more important to the individual and the nation than the average person is likely to think. The town is the working unit of democracy. It is both school and laboratory. Here more than anywhere else, people of different degrees' of intelligence, and culture, different economic advantages, the server and the served, meet face to face and learn to live together, to work and play together, to seek common ends. By the success with which it's towns minister to these ends will the nation's practical operates with all of the city who do clerous baskets of r etc. are supplied and found to be w bedding, clothing, where they are not ported are system eliminating all can no worthy cases u Plans are now whereby the Society be carried under board of directors trutees. Under scope of work will departments added In the opinion of District Attorney A. P. Nelson and various prominent bond attorneys, there is full assurance that the way will be cleared for the election and the undecided question whether the harbor act governing the bond proceedings applies to Newport Harbor, will be decidedly favorably. Bond attorneys have agreed that the act applies to the local harbor, but for the absolute protection of bond buyers they desire a supreme court decision on the point. The mandamus action is therefore regarded as a mere formality with the outcome virtually assured. County Clerk J. M. Backs has agreed, it is said, to refuse to sign and publish the election ordinance, thus preclimatating the mandamus, which will be designed to "compel him to affix his signature." An effort will then be made to get the mandamus petition before the supreme court, by having that court take original jurisdiction, and eliminate the intervening steps of hearings in the superior and appellate courts. The petition could then be heard at the January session of the supreme court in Los Angeles, it is believed. There would then be ample opportunity to publish the election call in time for holding the election on April 7. The mandamus is regarded as the shortest cut to the desired ruling. The other method, an injunction petition to prevent the election being called, would necessarily be forced to go through all the lower courts before reaching the supreme court, the supervisors were advised this method probably requiring a year's time. The legal question connected with Newport Harbor bonds developed from the ceding of state tide lands to the harbor in 1919. Under the harbor act of 1915, framed expressly for the benefit of Newport Harbor, the act applies only to harbors having no ceded tide land. The county voted $500,000 in bonds for harbor improvement in 1917. In 1919, the tide lands were ceded. In 1921, an amendment to the harbor act was adopted, providing that, where work had already been commenced under the act, more bonds could be voted to continue the work. No mention of tide lands was made in the amendment. Local authorities hold that the county had already started work under the act before the tide lands were ceded and is therefore authorized by the amendment to vote more bonds. The position of the district attorney is that, had the tide land inhibition been meant to apply under the amendment, it would have been mentioned in the amendment. One of the most important features in the social and economic life of any city is the work done by its charitable organizations, for through these mediums the indigent population is taken care of in a systematic and painstaking manner, relief given to the needy and the children of these homes given proper medical attention and care necessary to place their feet in the path that leads to a better, more prosperous and enlightened citizenship. Anaheim like every other city in the nation has its problem of this nature to contend with and the work is being ably carried on through what is known locally as the Social Welfare Department. Every Tuesday afternoon, from 2 to 4 a free baby clinic is held at the rooms of the Welfare Department in the City Hall building, under the supervision of a graduate nurse who has had many years of practical experience in infant welfare. The babies are weighed and measured, records kept, and advice given as to diet, etc. Government food schedules are also provided free of charge. More than 200 babies are now registered in this department and the results obtained have been very gratifying to those in charge. A community shop is maintained by the department to which used clothing, discarded furniture and many other commodities are donated by the citizens. These articles are sold at nominal prices and the funds derived from their sale are used entirely for welfare work. Where the need is found to exist, clothing is given from this shop free of charge and many families have thus been supplied with necessary apparel. A free employment bureau is also maintained and during the past year employment has been found for a large number of persons who from various reasons were unable to find a place for themselves.
