RANCHERS · SEEK ADMISSION TO THE CITY SECTION ON EAST SIDE WANTS TO BE TAKEN INTO CORPORATION Petition Presented to Council Thursday Night Asks That Election Be Called; Contains 30 Names of Property Owners; District Extends From City Limits to Placentia Ave., and North St. to Broadway RESIDENTS in the east section, just beyond the city limits, are anxious to enjoy the benefits of city life which is now denied them, and have petitioned the council for admission within the corporate boundary lines. They want the privilege of tapping the municipal water mains for their domestic supply. This is the chief reason for seeking admission, but there are other things of less moment which the city dwellers enjoy that are denied them. The territory which it is sought to bring in extends from the present city limits to Placentia avenue on the east, from North street on the north to Broadway on the south. It contains 288 acres of very valuable land, and the population of the district is estimated at 100. Just how much this would add to the taxable wealth of the municipality is not yet determined, but the acreage is nearly all valuable citrus and walnut land, consequently it will figure up to a considerable sum—probably not far from a million dollars. The petition was presented to theRecent Wind Proves Need for Windbreaks By HAROLD E. WAHLBERG The recent desert wind experienced on the night of December 3 and all day December 4 was one of remarkably low humidity; in fact, one of the lowest on record in the Santa Ana district, according to the observations made by Harold Rathbone, meteorologist of the United States weather bureau, in charge of the wind instruments located in Orange county. The relative humidity went down to 5 per cent for three hours around midnight of December 3-4 and hovered around 7.8 and 9 per cent until 1 p.m. on December 4. The velocity of the wind was greater than any experienced since Christmas, 1923. The weather bureau data reported by Rathbone shows a maximum velocity of 36 miles at midnight during that storm. This velocity occurred in the open as indicated by an automatic gauge. A second instrument placed behind a typical windbreak at Villa Park showed a material reduction in wind velocity—almost 45 per cent less. In traveling over the area affected by the wind, one is still impressed with the need for systematic plantings of windbreaks. In some districts it should be a community undertaking as well as individual. The highways and crossroads should be planted with Cypress and Eucalyptus to provide a starting point at least for community windbreak systems at least in those districts frequented by the injurious desert winds. The permanency of citrus plantings, or at least their economic production in these districts, will be largely dependent upon the presence of windbreak protection. How can a grove be expected to return profits if every year or two 10 to 40 per cent of the crop is reduced by wind? If wind injury affected the current year's crop only, the story would not be so bad, but the injury affects fruit production and tree growth for two or more years following. Several miles of young windbreaks have been planted in the last five years. The start only has been made. There should be ten times as many windbreaks in the wind frequented somewhere else.

Lett which they trace The territory which it is sought to bring in extends from the present city limits to Placentia avenue on the east, from North street on the north to Broadway on the south. It contains 288 acres of very valuable land, and the population of the district is estimated at 100. Just how much this would add to the taxable wealth of the municipality is not yet determined, but the acreage is nearly all valuable citrus and walnut land, consequently it will figure up to a considerable sum—probably not far from a million dollars. The petition was presented to the city council Thursday night. It contained 30 signatures of property owners, which is undoubtedly a large majority of the voters resident within the territory. Mayor Leonard appointed Councilman L. E. Miller and City Attorney George F. Holden as a committee to verify the names and determine whether or not they are all eligible under the law to sign the petition. If the committee finds sufficient names on it, an election will be called at the earliest date the law will permit, and the voters in the territory will be permitted to express their sentiments at the polls. It is believed the petitioners were certain of a favorable vote at the election before they presented the matter to the council. This is a portion of the territory which it was sought to annex to the city a couple of years ago, but which failed because of an adverse vote. There will probably be some opposition this time, but it is not believed it will be sufficient to defeat the project. The proposed district takes in the north side of Broadway, as ex- THE 'COST OF A PIG Henry Ward Beecher once told of buying a $9 pig, feeding it $40 worth of corn, and selling it for $10; he said that he lost money on the corn, but he cleared a whole dollar on the pig. That is the way with municipal ownership of most utilities. They buy the $9 pig—the plant; they feed it $40 worth of political favoritism, political inefficiency, everybody's business, irresponsibility, taxes that it does not pay—and then they sell $10 worth of service and claim a saving. The "pig" seems to show a profit under that system of bookkeeping; but the golden corn—the taxes, the incentive, the intelligent development, growth and management—vanishes in the pig's hungry jaws. This gives point to the recent study made by J. A. Van Oadol, former president of the Indiana Municipal League, showing that in the municipally owned electric utilities of Massa- Why Not Give an India Tire for Christmas THE ENTIRE FAMILY WILL ENJOY THIS—OR TRADE IN YOUR OLD TIRES ON NEW INDIAS WE NEED USED TIRES BADLY, AND OUR ALLOWANCE ON YOUR USED TIRES WILL SURPRISE YOU.

Los Angeles and Chestnut INDIA TIRE DISTRIBUTORS FOR ORANGE COUNTY ANAHEIM GAZETTE Private Forestry Gaining Ground Reforestation Being Practiced By Timber Land Owners Private forest landowners are becoming interested in the possibilities of forest management to a greater degree than ever before, says Col. William B. Greeley, chief forester, United States Department of Agriculture, in his annual report. The principle of sustained yield of timber as a working business policy is being given increasingly wider consideration by the forest industries and timberland owners, the forester finds. Under this principle only as much timber is cut yearly from a given unit of forest land as the land is replacing growth, so that an industry dependent upon the timber supply of this land can be permanently maintained. "Sustained yield," says Col. William B. Greeley, "is, of course, the underlying idea and essential aim of all forestry. We shall not have solved our national problem until the country as a whole is on a sustained-yield basis, with timber production balancing current use. To the individual lumber or paper or other forest industry the sustained-yield conception offers the most rational basis for stabilizing an enterprise throughout. If the forest indus-tries of the West, where large quantities of virgin timber are still available, could forthwith be placed on a sustained-yield basis, the current output of forest products would not be materially curtailed but expansion would be held down, overproduction would be cured at its source, and a rational stability would be introduced into all phases of industrial planning. There is no question that such a development would be in the public interest through conserving and extending the period of use of the remaining virgin timber." For many of the larger forest industries in the eastern states, a sustained yield can be attained only after a considerable period of reforestation, and would involve, for a time at least, a reduction from the present rate of cutting. "It is desirable, however," says the chief forester, "to recognize that the general reorganization of our forest industries around the sustained-yield conception is necessary, that its accomplishment is the great goal to be sought in connection with the use of forest lands, and that the rate of advance toward that goal will be a conclusive index of our progress as a nation in forestry." To date, the net gains in private forestry practice still fall far short of providing for the future productivity of the 242,000,000 acres of forest land in industrial ownership. The area of cut-over land left in poor productive condition is still enlarging, though probably at a substantially lower rate than ten years ago. The current growth of HOMELESS PEOPLE The past fifteen months have seen a string of calamities setting people adrift from their homes. Starting in with the Florida hurricane of September, 1926, including the terrible Mississippi flood and destructive floods in New England, also tornadoes and hurricanes, this short period has turned many thousands of people loose without shelter over their heads. Even if such people have plenty of money in banks and securities, so that their physical discomforts will not be prolonged, something is gone out of their lives that cannot be replaced. Old family heirlooms, articles of no value to anyone else, but having dear family associations, are swallowed up in the destruction. Letters and souvenirs by which they trace their history are forever gone. Any family feels that kind chusets it costs 35 per cent more to manufacture current and 21 per cent more to distribute it than it does in private plants of the same state. The press is united in saying that the government has no right to go into the printing business and print envelopes. It is united in saying that the absurdly low quoted price does not actually cover the cost of the service; that the rest is made up in excess postal rates, and that the local printer is made the goat of a vicious political monopoly. Municipal or state ownership and operation of utilities is a similar assault on the businesses by which free men live. It pays no taxes—it is not bound by the rules that bind private competition. It has no responsible control that must in self-protection know its cost and efficiency. It can make up losses by taxation or impaired or curtailed service. Established as a principal, public ownership might well start printing offices, brick factories, stores, banks, law offices, shoe factories, stores, movies, foundries and farms. The press that has seen the viciousness of the so-called cheap federal printing that is really excitably paid for by indirect taxes, may well condemn the advancing tide of socialized ownership.

YUNG "The Home of Hart Scha Manhattan Shirts Florsheim Shoes Anaheim, Calif., Dec. 15, 1927 Whitaker Endorsed For Re-Appointment Anaheim Postmaster Will Retain Post Another Term J. H. Whitaker has received the endorsement of Congressman Swing for re-appointment as postmaster. This was made known in a letter received from the congressman a day or two ago. Swing stated that he has received the endorsement of Postmaster General Harry New of Whitaker for the post, which is said to be paramount to re-appointment. He writes: "It is the general policy of the administration to reappoint postmasters having satisfactory records in the absence of considerations not shown in the official records which would make such action inadvisable." "I have received few complaints regarding Mr. Whitaker's service as postmaster and many endorsements of him." An Englishman has invented a boat that cannot be capsized. Here will be a nice Christmas present for the fellow who likes to rock 'em. Washington had its warmest Thanksgiving Day in many years and the rise in temperature may have been due to the approach of congress. timber probably is increasing in response particularly to the expanding protection of cut-over lands from forest fires, but still is far short of replacing the current drain upon the forests. Among the difficulties which stand in the way of private forestry practice, according to Colonel Greeley, are the current depression in lumber markets, the financial obligations imposed by existing investments in plants or timberlands, the uncertainty as to the future course of taxation of merchantable timber and young growth, and the burden of raw material wastes still carried by most forest industries. Progress in farm forestry is declared to be relatively more rapid and pronounced than in industrial forestry, in many ways timber production is taking more definite form as a farm community activity. By alding in the protection of timberland from fire, by supplying farmers with young trees for planting idle lands, and by furnishing farmers advice in the proper handling of woodlands already established, the agencies administering the Clarke-McNary law are contributing materially to this advance. This law is designed to bring together the federal government, the states and the private owners in a joint co-operative effort to promote the growing of forest crops. Forty-two states and thousands of private owners are now co-operating under one or more sections of the law. There are said to be 32,000 bars in Paris. Wonder where they got all the brass railings?
