Read it in the Gazette ALL THE LOCAL AND COUNTY NEWS THE GAZETTE CALL SEVEN-TWO VOLUME LX CUTS IN TAX RATE CITY’S TAX RATE SECOND LOWEST IN STATE MUNICIPAL TAX BILLS ARE CUT BY BOARD THREE TIMES IN FIVE YEARS From $1.45 in 1925 to $1.25 this Year on $100 assessed Valuation; Large Sums Expended for Betterments; Efficiency and Economy Watch Word at City Hall; Saving Taxpayers Money. Examination of School Children County Health Department Starting Its Annual Campaign The Bureau of Child Hygiene of the State Department of Public Health, working through its local representative, the Orange County Health Department, is organizing its annual campaign for the physical examinations of children who will enter school for the first time next fall. This campaign is undertaken together with the California Congress of Parents and Teachers, and it will be state wide in its scope. In the past two years, nearly 30,000 California children have received these physical examinations before entrance into the public schools. It is anticipated that at least 25,000 children of preschool age will receive physical examinations in the campaign which is now under way. Last year’s pre-school physical examinations, held in Orange County, in thirty-five school districts, were attended by 718 children of preschool age. This is 16% of the children who entered school the following From $1.45 in 1925 to $1.25 this Year on $100 assessed Valuation; Large Sums Expended for Betterments; Efficiency and Economy Watch Word at City Hall; Saving Taxpayers Money. In view of the fact that a ticket composed of three gentlemen who are pledged to overthrow the present form of city administration, is now before the voters seeking their suffrages at the city election April 14, it seems to be worth while that a brief review of achievements of the board during the past five years may be taken up at this time. Inasmuch as the city tax rate in Anaheim is the second lowest in the state of California, and that it has been reduced three times in five years, from $1.45 on the $100 in 1925 to $1.25 this year it seems plain that the present administration has been actuated by the one dominant idea of economy and saving money to the taxpayers. During these years large sums have been expended for improvements, including work on extending the old fall sewer into the ocean, widening and paving the city streets, acquiring a magnificent water system, installation of ornamental lights, improved service at the power house, and various other necessary undertakings. These called for a large monetary outlay, yet the people's tax bills have been reduced, and there remains in the treasury a surplus of more than $150,000. In the one item of collecting money for water and light rates, previous to the adoption of the ordinance under which we are now operating, eleven years ago, thousands of dollars were lost to the treasury. Owing to an antiquated bookkeeping system unpaid accounts were practically marked off to profit and loss, for they were forgotten in the haphazard manner of procedure at the city hall. People who had paid these charges to the city found their accounts at times not credited, while others who failed to pay at the initial presentation of their bills were rarely called upon to settle thereafter. It was a very inefficient way of doing things. All this has been remedied, and since the city collects every dollar due, Purchase of the wells of the sugar factory north of town at a very low figure, giving the city ample water for a town many times this size, is an achievement for which the present administration should be warmly commended. There have been many other public improvements during this time, proving that the administration has been keeping abreast of the times and saving taxpayers money. The office of city manager was created in 1919 in response to the needs of a rapidly growing city. Prior to that time the governmental affairs of Anaheim were administered in much the same way as they were thirty years before. Each department of the municipality operated independently of its undertaken together with the California Congress of Parents and Teachers, and it will be state wide in its scope. In the past two years, nearly 30,000 California children have received these physical examinations before entrance into the public schools.

Last year's pre-school physical examinations, held in Orange County, in thirty-five school districts, were attended by 718 children of preschool age. This is 16% of the children who entered school the following fall. It is hoped that this year's examinations will have an attendance of a much larger proportion of the prospective school population. President Hoover, who has always been an active sponsor, of all activities that relate to the development of child welfare, has always shown a particular interest in the health of children who are of pre-school age. The President's Conference on Child Welfare, which was recently called, placed strong emphasis upon the need for adequate health in young children for the accomplishment of activities of children which are yearly becoming more intricate and which involve greater effort. It is conceded generally that children of the present age must engage in far more arduous activities because of the increasingly complex nature of our social life. There is far greater need today for children to be physically fit for school life than there has ever been before. In order to be successful in school, an entering child must have a strong physique; he must not tire easily; he must not be nervous; he must be able to see and hear well; and he must possess all sound attributes for good general health. It is not fair to the child, nor to the educational system to permit entrants upon the schools to lack in any of the requirements that are essential for physical fitness. The campaign now being undertaken by State and local Health Departments and State and local organizations of Parents and Teachers will provide for physical examinations for young children at no cost to the parents. Following is a schedule of examinations to be held in Fullerton and Anaheim and immediate vicinity. These examinations are held at 9:30 in the morning and 2:00 in the afternoon.

Prior to that time the governmental affairs of Anaheim were administered in much the same way as they were thirty years before. Each department of the municipality operated independently of its fellows. Petty jealousies invited squabbles over imagined invasions of the field of one department by another. If an employee required supplies he bought them when and where he desired and charged his purchase to the city. An example of the laxity with which business was transacted is well illustrated by the mode of collecting light bills. The superintendent of the power plant read the light meters. His readings were recorded in a book similar to a check or receipt pad which he turned over to the rate collector. In turn, the rate collector would transmit to the city Treasurer the amount of money he collected and report the unpaid bills as delinquent. No account was kept of arrearages except upon the stubs of the meter books which were neatly put away and promptly forgotten about. Little or no effort was made to check up these delinquencies and as a result many consumers, careless about paying their bills, received free service. Realizing that such haphazard methods of doing business were expensive and wasteful, and feeling that the efficiency of the governmental machinery could be enhanced by centralizing responsibility and avoiding duplication of effort, the board of trustees requested O. E. Steward, then city engineer and street superintendent, to investigate various methods of city administration and report back for its consideration a plan for unifying the ministerial departments of the city government. After careful research, Mr. Steward submitted his findings, in which he proposed that the various departments, except the legal and police, be controlled on Last Page.

SCHLOTTER OUT OF RAGE FOR TRUSTEE G. W. BRUNS TAKES HIS PLACE ON THE COUNCIL-MANIC TICKET Mr. Schlotter States that Conditions have Arisen Since His Nomination That Have Influenced Him to Withdraw and Devote Himself to Private Affairs; Left Tuesday Morning for Arizona. Managers of the party organized to oppose the present city form of government were considerably startled some days ago when E. M. Schlotter, one of the three candidates put forward for the three vacant seats at the council table, withdrew from the race. Mr. Schlotter demanded his nomination papers at the city clerk's office and declared he was out of it. Mr. Schlotter, in explanation of his determination to withdraw, states that conditions had arisen since filing his nomination papers which influenced him to pull out of the race, giving him more time to devote to his private affairs. He left Tuesday morning for Arizona. His running mates, W. P. Quarton and Fred H. Garrison, have issued the following statement: We regret that E. M. Schlotter has been compelled to withdraw from the race for city councilman. But owing to his health, which the natural resulting excitement of a political campaign has seriously affected, as well as his business affairs which have been demanding his time, his withdrawal has been necessary.

According to officers, who made an investigation of the accident, the men were driving past another car on the road when their machine got from beyond the control of the driver and turned over on one side. All had been drinking, officers reported. Joe Ricardos, of San Juan Capistrano, and Carmen Abila, of San Juan Capistrano, were in the county jail Sunday on liquor charges, following an automobile crash near El Toro, in which the car said to have been driven by Abilla collided with a machine driven by C. F. Smith, of Pasadena. Mrs. Smith suffered cuts and bruises in the crash and Mrs. E. C. Krabell, of Pasadena, was cut on the head. They were taken to the Santa Ana Valley hospital where they were given medical treatment and later were removed to their homes. Neither were reported badly hurt. They were taken to the Santa Ana Valley hospital in an ambulance and later taken home. Three persons in the Hall car escaped injury.

Mr. Bruns has subscribed unreservedly to the principles upon which we stand and if the people of Anaheim see fit to place us in office, we pledge ourselves to an honest endeavor to carry them into effect. FRED H. GARRISON W.P. QUARTON At a meeting of the committee Monday night G. W. Bruns was prevailed upon to accept the vacant place on the ticket. His nomination petition was circulated Tuesday and promptly signed by the requisite number of voters. Mr. Bruns was a candidate for councilman in opposition to L. E. Miller and A.Curtis Case. It was a close race and was not decided until the last few votes were counted. A checkup then disclosed that Mayor Miller had nosed out Bruns by a few votes and Lakeman had defeated Case with only a few votes to spare. G.W.

EMILY Number 24 URPLUS $150,000 Council Rejects Light Fixture Bids Adopts Resolution Opposing Long Beach's Water Grab The city council Tuesday night rejected all bids for furnishing street lighting fixtures and the city clerk was instructed to re-advertise for bids. Councilman Lakeman objected to the rejection, stating that he believed some of the prices quoted were reasonable, and his negative vote makes it impossible for the city to buy in the open market. Opposing the reported move of the City of Long Beach to acquire water-bearing land in the Santa Ana river basin and watershed, the Anaheim city council adopted a resolution to take any action necessary to prevent the beach city from diverting water from Orange county for its use. The Orange county board of supervisors recently adopted a similar resolution which was presented to council at the time it took its action. Both resolutions assert that the removal of water by the City of Long Beach from Orange county would be highly detrimental. PACKING HOUSE MANAGER DIES SUDDENLY W. H.

Both resolutions assert that the removal of water by the City of Long Beach from Orange county would be highly detrimental to interests within this county's borders. The resolution pointed out that the present supply of water in Orange county is not sufficient for domestic and irrigation uses for cities and agricultural lands within its boundaries. Underground supply of water in this county is constantly diminishing, said the resolution, which urged Long Beach not to carry out a deversion program. Harris is Named Show Executive Former Fresno Fair Chief Heads Valencia Industrial Department George W. Reid, manager of the Tenth Annual California Orange Show, announces the engagement of Harold Harris, formerly of Fresno, as superintendent of the industrial department of this year's show which opens its gates in Anaheim on May 22 for an eleven day's run. Mr. Harris was the three years industrial secretary of the Fresno Chamber of Commerce and in this capacity had charge of industrial exhibits at the annual Fresno District Fair. Mr. Harris has also had several years experience through his association with the management of Raisin Day at Fresno, which is staged under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce there. He has established residence in Anaheim and is already at work lining up the industrial exhibits for the Orange Show.

Announcement yesterday morning of the death of W. H. Schureman, secretary and manager of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association, was a shock to his many friends throughout the city, and to the force laboring under him at the packing house. His death was sudden and unexpected. At five o'clock Tuesday evening he left his office, apparently in his usual health and spirits. At six o'clock he motored over to Fullerton and participated in a meeting of the packing house managers of the Northern Orange County Fruit Exchange. He was to all appearances in the best of health, but early following morning he was suddenly stricken with heart failure. His wife summoned a physician, but Mr. Schureman was beyond medical aid, and died at 7 o'clock. When the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association, the pioneer cooperative association of Anaheim, divided in 1918 because the membership had grown too large for one house to properly handle all the fruit grown by the stockholders, and a new association was formed. G. W. Sandilands, the manager, went with the new organization and Mr. Schureman was brought here from Pomona to take charge of the old house. Under his efficient management it has flourished and expanded, and it was eventually found necessary to construct a new and larger house. The old house was situated on Santa Ana street at the foot of Claudina, but the new house is on East Center street. The offices were moved to this house on April 25, 1924. This is the largest packing house in Anaheim. The passing of Mr. Schureman is not only a severe blow to stockholders of the association which he has piloted so successfully for the past eleven years, but it is a loss to the entire citrus industry of California. He had been engaged in the work the greater portion of his life, and was considered one of the leading authorities in the state on citrus culture. His advice and counsel will be sadly missed by those with whom he was associated. Mr. Schureman during his busy years found time to take a prominent part in the affairs of the city. He was a director and vice president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, was a director of the California Valencia Orange Show, was an active member of the Rotary club, was a member of the Elks lodge, and president of the Williams Plan Finance Co. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Anita Schureman, a son, F. Colin Schureman of Tulare, and a granddaughter, Anita Lee Androus, who was living with her grandparents.

As far as forcing public improvements upon the people without the majority consent, I believe that such procedure is un-American and unfair to those upon whom lies the burden of paying. The principles enunciated by Mr. Garrison and Mr. Quarton in their platform of engaging city people for city work is another very fair and undebatable policy which I most heartily subscribe. Upon thi sannouncement and these principles I ask the people of Anaheim for their support, and assure them that, if elected, I will lend my best efforts to carry into effect these principles which I warmly champion and which I believe will result in the unifying of the people of Anaheim, as well as giving us a more prosperous and harmonious community. G. W. BRUNS. The candidates supporting the city manager form of government are Leo J. Sheridan, Fred Koesel and M. W. Martenet, Jr. They will appear on the ballot under the caption "Citizen's Harmony Ticket." Their platform is very short. It reads: "We pledge ourselves to an economical program, with countey and fairness to all. On this platform we solicit the support of the voters of Anaheim." There are six candidates in the race. They are all men of unimpeachable character, and whichever side wins the citizens are assured of an honest government.

Retires from Bank Ernest Zitzmann, who until recently was first vice president and cashler of the German American Savings Bank of Los Angeles, is recuperating his health at his home here and will doubtless soon be himself again. Mr. Zitzmann was compelled to retire from the bank on account of ill health. He was immediately elected honorary vice president and retains his place on the board of directors. He is ir receipt of several complimentary letters from the bank expressing the hope that he may soon regain his health. He was recently presented with a basket of lovely robes and a commendatory letter. He has served forty one years as a bank official and feels that his health necessitates out door activities in future. He will attend a meeting of the Board of Directors on next Tuesday evening. Mrs. Florence Backs was brought down from the University by her parents this week, being indisposed with illness. She is rapidly recovering at home and will soon return to school where she is getting excellent grades and is one of the brightest, as well as the sweetest girl in her sonority.
