FACTS ABOUT THE CITY OF ANAHEIM Population 13,000 Assessed Valuation $12,266,185 Building Permits 439,832 VOLUME LVIII COUNTY'S GROWTH ORANGE COUNTY REGISTRATION TO BE 44,738 INCREASE OF 21,000 OVER THE TOTAL OF TWO YEARS AGO Figures Furnished By Deputy Secretary of State Hogerty; Registration in State to Be 2,050,000, He Estimates; 46,000 Pamphlets to Be Furnished County For Mailing to Voters; Heavy Vote Predicted This Fall An increase of 21,000 in the registra- Bids Submitted For Widening of The Boulevard Work of preparing for the widening and paving of South Spadra Road from the Fullerton to the Anaheim city limits is well under way. It was announced at the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce, which has taken a leading part in working out the project. Facts and figures compiled by the highway committee of the Chamber in correction of a statement appearing several days ago regarding the project are given in the following paragraph from their official report to directors: "The lowest bid on the half of the contract to be assumed by the improvement district was $32,600, submitted by the Griffith Company of Los Angeles. The original estimate of cost made by the state highway engineers was $42,000, of which amount Orange county agreed financially to assist in the sum of $10,500. This bid fixes the net cost to the im- THE TOTAL OF TWO YEARS AGO Figures Furnished By Deputy Secretary of State Hogerty; Registration in State to Be 2,050,000; He Estimates; 46,000 Pamphlets to Be Furnished County For Mailing to Voters; Heavy Vote Predicted This Fall An increase of 21,000 in the registration of Orange county over the total for the November election in 1926. Is indisputable evidence of the county's rapid growth. This is an increase of nearly 50 per cent in two years, as the total figures for 1926 were 23,426. These figures are given out by Charles J. Hagerty, deputy secretary of state and expert statistician. He estimates that the total registration in Orange county when the books close for the November election will be 44,738. Hagerty's estimate represents a gain of nearly four per cent over the total vote cast at the May primaries this year. If his figures hold true, the state of California—for the first time in history—will roll up a total of more than 2,000,000 votes at one election. In 1926 the state gained three per cent in its voting strength between the primary and general elections, or approximately 57,000 votes. This year Hagerty has figured out the increase to be 75,000 votes, or in the neighborhood of four per cent. Estimated state registration for the August primary is 2,050,000, and upon these figures county clerks all over California will begin mailing out 2,057,000 election pamphlets to the voters about the middle of next month: Orange county's share of these pamphlets is 16,000 and they will contain the names of candidates for the various congressional, legislative and judicial offices, their declarations of candidacy and list of "sponsors" under the new sponsor nominating system adopted by the 1927 legislature. However, this isn't to be the only pamphlet mailed out by the state this year. For the November general election another booklet explaining the various constitutional amendments upon which the people will vote, will be sent to every voter in the state.

BIG ASSESSMENT ROLL Assessor Sleeper was in town on Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by Mrs. Sleeper, who occupied herself with shopping in the local stores, while Jim swapped yarns and talked about the weather with a number of his friends. He has turned over the assessment roll to the board of supervisors who have been sitting as a board of equalization. The total assessed valuation of the county exceeds $205,000,000 and places Orange county sixth among the fifty-eight counties in the state. Work in the assessor's office has largely increased in recent years, and the force has been working overtime in order to get the rolls before the board of equalization. After a very busy season the assessor contemplates enjoying a well-carned vacation. Established Record At County Fair From the records made by the two Misses Claes of Garden Grove at the County Fair last fall, the average person is likely to wonder if anyone else had a chance. Miss Dorothy Claes, the twelve-year-old adopted daughter of Miss Kathryn Claes, won on twelve entries, nine firsts, two seconds and one third prizes. Miss Kathryn Claes won fifteen firsts, sixteen seconds, eight thirds and one fourth. Nobody knows just how many long hours or days it took to prepare the wonderful array of canned fruits, vegetables and meats. Nobody is barred from making a guess, however. PHIL STANTON IN TOWN Phil Stanton spent some time in town yesterday morning, driving over in his filver from his Brookhurst ranch, where he and Mrs. Stanton are living in a bungalow. He is erecting a palatial mansion on his ranch, and when completed purposes having an old-fashioned house warming and barbecue, to which his many friends will be invited. Phil is a gracious host, and those who are fortunate to be guests of himself and Mrs. Stanton will count themselves fortunate indeed. He spent some time in telling his friends about the splendid residence he is erecting, and did not devote a moment to politics. The mansion will certainly be a fine one if Phil hasn't any time to talk about political affairs. He did say that he regards Herbert Hoover as one of the greatest men in the world, who would make one of the greatest presidents who ever lived in the White House.

At the suggestion of Earl Morrow, president, of Santa Ana, the resignation was not acted upon and the hope was expressed that Riley could be induced to continue on the board. In a letter, Riley stated that his business and civic affairs are requiring an increasingly larger amount of his time.

Frank Burke of Santa Ana Register, Speaker Tuesday Noon Luncheon Santa Ana Kiwanians were in charge of the program at the noonday luncheon of the Anaheim Kiwanian club Tuesday. The entire program was presented by the visiting club, O. A. Holey acting as chairman. Music was provided by Mrs. Arthur May, vocal sololist; Miss Georgiabelle Walton, violin, and Miss Carrie Seaton, plano, all of Santa Ana. J. Frank Burke, editor of the Register, was the speaker, his subject being "The Newspaperman's Obligation." He declared that the character and integrity, and the sense of personal responsibility of the newspaper man is not been put in operation at the time the assessment was made and that the county therefore was entitled to tax it. Operative property is taxed by the state. The Getty company's protest was handled by Rush M. Bldoget, Los Angeles attorney, and a brother of Acting District Attorney Blodget here. Sleeper's assessment of $270,825 was objected to and it was claimed that the property's cash value was not over $47,615. This made an approximate discrepancy between the two estimates of $660,000 in representing actual value. Sleeper's estimates are based on one-third of the actual value, thus making his figure for real worth of the Getty holdings approximately $660,000 while the company claims only $47,615. According to law the board could not have lowered the assessments made by Sleeper although it might have raised them. Kiwanians Hear Newspaperman Talk J.

Such is the case of Harry Swartz, 33, 1226 Court street, Los Angeles, who has just finished a term in the Orange county jail for vagrancy. Swartz had $260 in cash in his person when he was brought to jail. When he was released he backed away from the money like it was poison. Hunter Leach, assistant jailer, looked at George Boyd, the jailer, and Boyd looked back. Other officers were called and the matter ended when Swartz was sent to the county hospital for observation. "When a man turns down $260, he must be crazy." Ieach commented, "Especially when it's his own."

During 1927 and 1928 the department was concerned with 334 cases involving white people. Those concerning Mexicans numbered 270. This information was made public by Walter Gregg, head of the department, in his annual report. "The influx from the east and south of white families who are seeking health, and who are without means, is growing. They arrive in destitute condition, often physically incapacitated hoping to regain health on our wonder climate, apparently unaware that it requires more than climate to recuperate physically and financially." They often come here coached in the way of lying low until sufficient time has elapsed. Then they come forth, make their wants known, and how loudly for help—even demand it," the report stated. The department handled 91 more cases during the last year than in the 1926-1927 period, the report showed, but the expense involved decreased by $247.20. Increase in burials, jail sentences (mostly bootlegging), desertion by husbands over 60 years of age, sickness, state hospital cases, unemployment and transportation were noted. "We have increased our overhead but have lessened our dole through supervision." Gregg's report stated. "This report shows county expenditures only. The churches and Americanization work, coupled with clubs and so on, would be 50 per cent more at least." Rehabilitation is the keynote of the work being done by the welfare department, according to Gregg. "Some of our best work has been done where no money has been given to the family, but where a great deal of time and effort has been in helping the family to contact its own people or to find suitable employment." "It is not necessarily simply to dole who has just finished a term in the Orange county jail for vagrancy. Swartz had $260 in cash in his person when he was brought to jail. When he was released he backed away from the money like it was poison. Hunter Leach, assistant jailer, looked at George Boyd, the jailer, and Boyd looked back. Other officers were called and the matter ended when Swartz was sent to the county hospital for observation. "When a man turns down $260, he must be crazy." Ieach commented, "Especially when it's his own." PRESENTED EVERY SUNDAY EVENING Medical Missionary to Korea Lectured on That Benighted Country Last Sunday. Telling of Its Woes; Excellent Musical Program Presented By White Temple Choir, Miss Alice Grimshaw and Percy W. Olds Sunday evening union services at the Greek theatre are growing more popular each week, and a good audience is always in attendance. There is always an excellent musical program presented by the best talent in the city and the platform performance, whether it be a sermon or a lecture, is certain to be interesting. Rev. Thomas Walker presided last Sunday evening. The music was provided by the White Temple choir, with Miss Alice Grimshaw singing a solo, and congregational singing conducted by Percy W. Olds. Instead of a sermon the audience was treated to a lecture on Korea, that little understood spot on the map of Asia, by Dr. J. D. Van Buskirk, an American medical missionary at the Severance hospital in the Korean capital. He pictured the benighted state of Korea, a country half the size of California in area, with 19,000,000 people crowded into it. Its people are ignorant and superstitious. "Korea today is, from an educational standpoint, about where our forefathers were before Harvey discovered the circulatory system," said the speaker of the evening. "The people believe that disease is caused by spirits and by the 'four humors.' They permit their sick to be treated by insertion of needles. Nothing is known of the blood circulation, and no distinction is made by native doctors between a nerve and a tendon. "At present there are a good many doctors in Korea. Perhaps one can be found within a radius of 50 miles from any point. Most of these doctors are mission men and women, although the Severance Union Medical college is sending out many native doctors to minister to their people. "Severance hospital has 150 beds, and its clinic handles daily 250 patients. Many times at night when all the facilities of the hospital are taxed to capacity it is necessary to send the sick out into the streets without aid. Charity work alone costs the hospital $30...000 a year. The average income of the Korean farmer is $140 a year so that those who are able to pay anything really pay but little of the actual expense of their treatment." The speaker said that construction costs for buildings in Korea are but 20 per cent of the cost of similar structures in America. He recounted how he had erected a four-story structure of re-inforced concrete 50 by 105 feet in dimensions for $60,000. In this building are located the administrative offices of the hospital and the medical college, the college classrooms for 150 Band Concert at City Park Tonight Noted California Vocalist to Assist in the Entertainment Following is the program to be given by the American Legion band at the Greek theatre tonight: March, "The Victor" ...
