This represents a gain, during the past school year, of almost 100 per cent over the first year in which the plan was in force and the various banks of the city now have a total of nearly 900 accounts in which deposits average between $4 and $5, according to Vance M. Ford, of the Anaheim branch of the Bank of Italy who has been in charge of carrying out the savings plan. Melbourne A. Gauer, superintendent of the Anaheim grammar school, under whose direction the plan was started, commented upon the success of the idea as a means of encouraging thrift and stated that plans are being formed to extend the scope and usefulness of the plan on the opening of the new school year this fall. COUNCIL BUSINESS ORDINA MUCH DISCUSSION NOW AFTER THE CITY'S Divides the City In and Regulates tion of Buildings and the Uses to Shall Be Put; Planning Comm ungram to Beauty In accordance with beauty the city and industries within presi dance No. 510, design His Constructive Governmental Achievement Has Characterized His Work As Head of the Board of Supervisors; Now Endeavoring to Get a Government Engineer Assigned Here to Assist in Flood Control Work Orange county has had ample cause to congratulate its board of supervisors on their choice of William Schumacher, from the third district, as chairman of the board on January 1, 1927. Such is the verdict gathered from a survey of opinion throughout the county as Schumacher nears the close of his second year as chairman of the county board. The period since he took command of the supervisorial department has been crowded with constructive governmental achievement, marking one of the swiftest advances along the path of progress that the county ever has enjoyed. Various reforms have been brought about, economies of administration have entrenched the county financially, and noteworthy improvements have been carried forward in the realms of transportation facilities, public health, recreation and education. Outstanding among the beneficial projects inaugurated under the Schumacher administration is the great water conservation program of the county, for which the county has been organized into a flood control district. This project, it is acknowledged, will be an enduring monument to the vision and enterprise of Chairman Schumacher and his colleagues. The important department of highways has profited greatly under Chairman Schumacher's regime, a fact for which he is more directly responsible than any other individual. Schumacher led the fight for revised policies with reference to the highway department and highway funds, that overturned objectionable practices and equalized the interests of the various districts. Only through the chairman's courageous opposition to the existing system were the reforms accomplished. When Schumacher became chairman he promptly devoted his attention to what he had for some time regarded as an unfair and discriminatory distribution of county gas tax funds. Santa Ana, comprising the entire first district, had claimed and taken possession of one-fifth of the fund, although the city had no county roads to maintain, and was expending portions of the fund upon streets within that city. Other cities of the county had no share of the fund. Schumacher branded this situation as unfair and discrimination against other cities of the county. He demanded that the entire fund be expended upon county roads only, with no city getting a share unless all could participate. He carried his contention successfully through the board of supervisors, who adopted his program. Schumacher, however, has expressed the belief that all the cities should participate in the nearly 900 accounts in which deposits average between $4 and $5, according to Vance M. Ford, of the Anaheim branch of the Bank of Italy who has been in charge of carrying out the savings plan. Melbourne A. Gauer, superintendent of the Anaheim grammar school, under whose direction the plan was started, commented upon the success of the idea as a means of encouraging thrift and stated that plans are being formed to extend the scope and usefulness of the plan on the opening of the new school year this fall. Union Park Services Draw Many People Y. M. C. A. Orator to Speak Next Sunday Evening The Rev. Frank Brinkmeyer of the German Methodist church, delivered the sermon at the union services held in the Greek theatre, municipal park, here Sunday night. The music was supplied by the Salem Evangelical church of which the Rev. Lyman Light is pastor. According to the Rev. Benjamin Sherwood Haywood, pastor of the White Temple Methodist church and program chairman of the union services for August, the success of the union service venture has been even greater than anticipated. Large congregations have assembled weekly, hundreds among whom are not church attendants, and many of whom rarely enter the various church edifices. The pastors foster the movement and bring to their assistance each summer outstanding platform men. Lieut. Gov. Flits, a year ago July 4, gave the civic message for the occasion. Both laymen and clergymen from many localities have spoken at three meetings. The union services open on the first Sunday in July and conclude with the Labor day sermon in September. The three remaining Sunday evenings feature services of great community interest. August 19, Y. M. C. A. will bring a blind orator from Los Angeles and San Francisco through the efforts of its local secretary, Conrad Joneward. The sermon for August 26 will be delivered by the Rev. Haywood of the White Temple. Special music will be provided by the White Temple choir. Mr. Percy W. Olds will sing a baritone solo. The services of the summer will conclude September 3, when the Protestant Episcopal church will sponsor the program, the pastor, the Rev. Maiman, will deliver the message. J. H. Whitaker, Anaheim postmaster, will be chairman of the evening.

This ordinance was made months ago and came reading. It was framed planning commission. The intention of the council is to be present provisions provided thing to criticise.

He demanded that the entire fund be expended upon county roads only, with no city getting a share unless all could participate. He carried his contention successfully through the board of supervisors, who adopted his program. Schumacher, however, has expressed the belief that all the cities should participate in the benefits of the gas tax and is now making a determined effort to have that plan adopted. This would materially lighten the burden of the taxpayers within the cities. Chairman Schumacher also negotiated a reorganization of the county road department that has resulted in huge savings to the county annually. This organization was effected to place the supervisor in more direct touch with his district and to give him control over its affairs, to the end that he could introduce economies and greater efficiency as the opportunity was had. The result has been more than satisfactory. The chairman's efforts throughout his administration has been to introduce the strictest economy in government without impairing its efficiency. It is well known in official circles that only through the determined efforts of Chairman Schumacher in blocking the proposal, was the county prevented from spending $250,000 this year on a new courthouse addition. Mr. Schumacher is now engaged in an effort to procure the services of government engineer, to act in an advisory capacity for the Orange County Flood Control district, and review the engineering plan that will be prepared for the water conservation program. Schumacher is particularly anxious, he states, to obtain the services of a federal engineer whose services will be rendered from a viewpoint so impartial as so duty question. The interests of the third district and northern Orange county have been well protected by Schumacher, both before and since his selection as chairman. As chairman, however, he has occupied a more commanding position provided by the White Temple choir. Mr. Percy W. Olds will sing a baritone solo. The services of the summer will conclude September 3, when the Protestant Episcopal church will sponsor the program, the pastor, the Rev. Maiman, will deliver the message. J. H. Whitaker, Anaheim postmaster, will be chairman of the evening. Man Badly Wanted Found in Minnesota Frank Dedic, wanted here on a charge of violation of probation and for grand theft, has been arrested in Winona, Minn., and is being held for Orange county officers. It was reported to the sheriff's office. Deputy Sheriff F. L. Humiston left for Minnesota to take charge of the prisoner and return him to Orange county. Dedic has announced, it was said, that he will waive extradition to California. The arrest of Dedic ends a search of several weeks. Dedic was thought to have been cornered at one time in Clinton, In., but he left there before officers there could be notified, it was said. Dedic, who is reported to be an automobile endurance driver, is asserted to have stolen an automobile in Anaheim. On the board, with material results for his district. One example of this was in the action of the board in establishing a county yard at Fullerton. Previously the only yard was in Santa Ana, where all highway equipment was centered. Schumacher "broke up" this plan, and secured a yard at Fullerton that serves the entire territory of the second and third districts. This yard has brought to norther nOrange county a payroll that has run as high as $8000 per month. Should Mr. Schumacher succeed in getting the assignment of an expert federal engineer to advise and assist our own engineers, it will greatly facilitate carrying out the gigantic program the supervisors have undertaken of conserving the waste water of the county and making it useful instead of destructive as it is now when it rolls down the streams in a flood.

Many of these wells will not be drilling for some time, of course, but already, it is understood, sixty derricks are being built or planned in the immediate future. The greater part of the work in the field at present is derrick construction, and the drilling crews are not yet on the scene. The drilling of 100 wells will mean the employment of 1500 men in the drilling crews, besides the many others who will be necessary in such an active field. All the big companies are now represented in the field, the General Petroleum leading with fifteen wells projected, while the Union is second with nine.

The preamble describes it as "an ordinance providing for the creation in the city of Anaheim of five zones, consisting of various districts and prescribing the classes of buildings, structures and improvements in the several zones, and the use of such buildings, structures, improvements and premises; the heights of buildings and the area of lot covered thereby." This ordinance was introduced many months ago and came up for its first reading. It was framed by the city planning commission. As it was not the intention of the commission nor of the city council to arbitrarily adopt a law that would be objectionable to a large class of citizens, people were invited to be present and criticise its provisions, provided they found anything to criticise. As was expected there were some who asked for modifications, and subsequent changes were made, the board being disposed to meet the wishes of all the people as far as consistent with the general plan to beautify the city. The ordinance came up for final action last Thursday and was adopted by a unanimous vote. It appears in today's issue of this paper, and three weeks from today becomes effective. William Hess of Los Angeles, was awarded the contract for building a foundation for the new gas engine to be installed at the power house. Out of several bids for this work opened at a previous meeting of the board, Hess' was the lowest. All were side-tracked for consideration, and as the bond he presented was satisfactory the job was awarded to him. Shipkey & Pearson of this city were awarded the contract for furnishing the city with 15,000 gallons of gasoline during the next year. There were many bidders for this contract, but as the local firm bid five cents below the service station price, the bid was accepted. Ordinance No. 526, amending ordinance No. 476, which fixes the rate to be charged for water for irrigation purposes within the city limits, was passed and adopted unanimously. Demands against the general fund totaling $12,483.59; redemption fund, $1,-687.46; and improvement fund, $2,131.64, all approved by the finance committee, were ordered paid. A resolution cancelling the mortgage on the sewer farm on payment by J. B. Rhodes of $2000 with interest at seven future. The greater part of the work in the field at present is derrick construction, and the drilling crews are not yet on the scene. The drilling of 100 wells will mean the employment of 1500 men in the drilling crews, besides the many others who will be necessary in such an active field. All the big companies are now represented in the field, the General Petroleum leading with fifteen wells projected, while the Union is second with nine. The Union had one well drilling when the discovery well came in. Of the big companies, the Standard is starting five wells, the Texas company eight, the Associated five. The reef of the wells are being started by smaller operators who, for the most part, are drilling only one well each. Walnut Growers To Hold Meet Here Annual Session of Southern California Association at High School The eighth annual field day for Southern California walnut growers will be held in Anaheim this year on Saturday, September 8th, according to Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg. Over 500 growers from all walnut sections of California are expected to attend. Plans are being made to handle that number. The Walnut Department of the Orange County Farm Bureau will assist the Extension Service in playing host to the visitors. The morning session will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the auditorium of the Anaheim High school. J. J. Dwyer, prominent walnut grower of Anaheim, will preside. Prominent speakers will discuss marketing and economic problems of the walnut industry. In the afternoon the Extension Service has arranged an educational field tour, visiting representative orchards of the Fulerton and Placentia district. Proper methods of dehydration and early harvesting will be featured at the orchard stops. The local committee in charge of day's program is J. A. Smiley, West Orange; A. J. McFudden, Irvine; J. J. Dwyer, Anaheim; S. W. Stanley, Tustin, and G. H. Goodwin, Garden Grove.

TAX VERY POSSIBLE Economical Management, Reduction in Some Departments, and Increased Assessment Values Is Reason for His Statement; Supervisors to Have Hearing on the Budget Monday Morning to Consider Any Protests County Auditor W. C. Jerome made public the budget estimate of county expenses during the coming year, and gives it as his opinion that the tax levy can be reduced 20 cents on the hundred dollars. This has been made possible by a reduction in the demands of certain departments. Mr. Jerome estimates the total amount demanded from the several departments will be $8,175,436 for the fiscal year. Although this amount is larger than the $8,025,605.61 outlay for last year, exclusive of special district outlays, the possibility of a tax slash is seen in the fact that gradual easing is beginning to be felt in the expense of maintenance work on highways built under bond issues. The total amount estimated to be needed does not have to be raised through taxation. Balances in some cases, together with income from other sources materially reduce the amount to be raised through taxation. A further aid to possible reduction is brought about by the fact that through the inauguration of the budget system prescribed by the state, a smaller reserve fund can be carried for the coming year. Jerome pointed out. The board of supervisors set next Monday as the date for hearing protests on the proposed budget. Following any protests that may be voiced, the board must pass on the budget and, by the first Tuesday in September, must fix the tax rate. The cut if adopted, would drop the rate inside cities from $1.65 to $1.45; outside cities it would be reduced from $1.95 to $1.55. The county good road fund could be dropped from 20 cents to 15 cents, according to Jerome's figures. This money is spent only on highways built through bond issues. As these roads are being built up and improved, maintenance costs are declining. Jerome pointed out. In addition an unbudgeted reserve can be created, equal to 10 per cent of the total general county budget, minus the amount budgeted for the interest and sinking fund. A new rate of 16 cents will be created to provide for the unbudgeted reserve and a 13-cent rate is to take care of the general reserve. Through the use of these funds and elimination of the department balances, a smaller total reserve will be possible. Jerome said. An unbudgeted reserve of $280,000 and a general reserve of $225,000 have been included in the budget. The county general fund rate of 36 cents, as it was last year, could be cut from 36 cents to six cents, the figures showed. The bridge fund, because of reserve on hand, could be dropped from obtaining all permits required by local government regulations. Crazy Moss Holds the Until Cap It took all sourcefulness M.

During July 17 permits were issued by Building R. Nyboe, with valuations totalling $22,877, his report revealed. Police Judge Eldon W. Stark reported 43 cases disposed of in his court during the past month. Fines collected totalled $1294 of which $535 was contributed by violators of the state motor vehicle acts and $510 by violators of the Wright Act. The county general fund rate of 36 cents, as it was last year, could be cut from 36 cents to six cents, the figures showed. The bridge fund, because of reserve on hand, could be dropped from five cents to nothing. The salary fund rate would be raised from 11 to 14 cents, this being made necessary by the prescribed shifting of justice court fines in criminal cases from the salary to the general fund, said Jerome. This amounts to approximately $35,000, he said. The hospital fund rate would remain at six cents. The interest and sinking fund figure would go from eight to six cents. The rate for advertising would remain at two cents; the county school rate at 36 cents; the county high school rate at 23 cents. The county park fund rate would drop from two cents to one cent. The funds requested by the various departments are as follows: Bridge fund, $49,000; salaries, $330,000; hospital, $266,000; interest and sinking fund, $118,000; advertising, $45,000; county schools, $633,000; county high schools, $400,000; county park, $29,650; county good roads, $451,300; county general fund $663,798; unbudgeted reserve, $280,000; general reserve, $225,800. The flood protection $110,600 has been requested; $20,000 has been asked for fire protection; to pay firemen who combat forest and grass blazes; the county horticultural department requested $127,050. A fund of $80,145 has been included for co-operation with the state in widening the highway between the south city limits of Anaheim and the city limits of Orange and Santa Ana, and from the northern Anaheim city limits to the city limits of Fullerton on the south. For the proposed Elsinore road $25,000 has been included and $5000 has been put in for the overhead crossing projected at Irvine. It is estimated that the 40 per cent rate outside cities will raise $399,929. Deviating from file a felony Oakes, 20.

The new owner is Maxine Smith, a rancher, whose home is in the northeast section of the city. The structure is rated at $25,000, and is considered one of Placentia's most valuable properties. Mr. Smith now has possession. A theatre and grocery store are in the first floor of the building, while the upper floor is arranged in several apartments. Two and a fourth acres of land, owned by Mrs. Elinor Etchison, also changed hands through the local firm. William Davis, Brenn, who bought the property which is improved with a four-room house and an orchard, is said to have paid $4000 for it. The property lies two and a half miles south of here. CITY ASSESSOR SUBMITS HIS FIGURES REPORT SHOWS SLIGHT INCREASE IN VAULATION OF CITY PROPERTY Total Taxable Property Is $11,-195,795, a Gain of Nearly $60,-000 Over Last Year; Real Estate Shows Slight Drop; No Protestants Appear Before the Board of Equalization in Session Held on Monday Last Deputy Assessor Harry Jayne has completed his work of compiling the valuations in the city of Anaheim and submitted his voluminous report to the Crazy Man Defies Posse of Officers Holds the Fort With a Gun Until Captured By Strategy It took all of the strategy and resourcefulness that Deputy Sheriffs E.M. Jemison and Harry Carter could muster to arrest a man residing near Brookhurst avenue and Orangethorn road, reported to be demented and who had barricaded himself in his home after carefully arming himself with two shotguns. He finally was coaxed from his hiding place and taken to the county hospital, but not until after an hour or more of anxiety on the part of officers, they reported. When Carter and Jemison arrived at the house, they attempted to reason with the man. "Get away from that door or I'll kill you," was the answer to their pleas. "I just took a lot of poison and I want to die. After I'm dead you can have me, but don't come near that door, or I'll kill you." There being no chance for the officers to break in the door, even though the man did not intend to shoot. Carter and Jemison withdrew and, after a conference decided on a plan of battle. They learned who the man's family physician was and sent for him. In the meantime the man yelled for a drink of liquor. Carter's plan was to give him a drink, loaded with "knockout drops" and then capture him. The plan partially worked. The doctor came, made himself known to the barricaded man and was admitted. He managed to lead him from the room to the bathroom, and the officers slipped in the vacated room and procured the two shotguns. The man was captured after a battle as he left the bathroom. Officers then found five guns in the house, they reported. Anaheim Boy Faces Delinquency Count Deviating from the original plan to file a felony charge against Stanley Oakes, 20, Anaheim youth, arrested over the week-end for San Bernardino officers, who were said to want him on a charge of perjury in connection with obtaining of a marriage license there. Of City Property Total Taxable Property Is $11,-195,795, a Gain of Nearly $60,-000 Over Last Year; Real Estate Shows Slight Drop; No Protestants Appear Before the Board of Equalization in Session Held on Monday Last Deputy Assessor Harry Jayne has completed his work of compiling the valuations in the city of Anaheim and submitted his voluminous report to the council. That body not as a board of equalization Monday morning, prepared to listen to the complaints of protestants, but as not a single one appeared with a complaint an adjournment was taken at noon. Mr. Japne's figures disclose that the total assessable property of all kinds within the corporation is $11,195,795, whereas last year it was $11,135,890. This is a gain of $59,905 during the year, most of it being improvements. Real estate values show a small decrease, this year's valuation being $4,-329,460, while last year it was $4,346,010. The decrease is $16,550. The total value of improvements this year is listed as $5,425,060, against $5,357,865, an increase of $67,195. Personal property valuations this year total $1,441,275 against $1,432,015, a gain of $9960. Exemptions on non-taxable property amount to $432,660. This is a gain of $3940 over last year when the figure was $1428,720. In all probability there will be no change in the tax rate as the slight increase in assessment will not justify a reduction. The rate last year was $1.35 on the hundred dollars. City Manager Price will prepare a budget outlining the needs of each department for the next year, and on that budget the council will determine the total amount needed for the city's expenses during the year and fix the levy accordingly. The fact that nobody appeared to file a protest against Mr. Jayne's valuation indicates that all were satisfied that they were justly dealt with. Campaign Starts to Get Voters to Polls Chambers of Commerce of Orange County Are Working in Move The "Get Out the Vote" campaign of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county is going over with a bang, according to the committee composed of Harry Welch of Balboa; H.A. Lake of Garden Grove, and V.D. Johnson of Orange. The Chambers of Commerce of Brea, Santa Ana and Orange already have promised banners in addition to the three to be given away by the Associated Chambers. Encouraging reports have come also from other Chambers of Commerce of which the directors had not yet met. Anaheim Boy Faces Delinquency Count Deviating from the original plan to file a felony charge against Stanley Oakes, 20, Anaheim youth, arrested over the week-end for San Bernardino officers, who were said to want him on a charge of perjury in connection with obtaining a marriage license there, authorities filed a complaint against him charging contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Oakes was arrested in an Anaheim apartment with the girl he married in San Bernardino county, it was reported. The girl is only 15 years old, probation officers said. The youth is being held in the county jail pending arraignment in juvenile court. In road districts two, three, four and five.

The "Get Out the Vote" campaign of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county is going over with a bang, according to the committee composed of Harry Welch of Balboa; H. A. Lake of Garden Grove, and V. D. Johnson of Orange. The Chambers of Commerce of Brea, Santa Ana and Orange already have promised banners in addition to the three to be given away by the Associated Chambers. Encouraging reports have come also from other Chambers of Commerce of which the directors had not yet met. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States has recently sent out a pamphlet to its members all over the country calling attention to the alarming neglect on the part of the business men of the country to cast their ballots when so many legislative questions liable to affect their business are constantly coming before the lawmakers. In the opinion of the California Development Association which also is working to get out the vote, questions of importance to agriculture also are constantly arising, yet the farmer is likewise too neglectful concerning the exercise of his franchise. The committee in charge of the Associated campaign has written all the Service Clubs and American Legion Posts of the county, urging that each member call up at least one friend the day before the primary on Tuesday, August 28.
