Registration of Voters is Slow Less Than Two Thousand Qualified to Vote up to Monday With an important election looming only a month away and the registration books closing so far as that election is concerned Saturday night, voters of Anaheim are still apathetic and neglecting to qualify so they may exercise their rights as citizens on the 14th of April. County Clerk J. M. Backs reported Monday that the registration up to that date in this city was only 1,954. Women outnumbered the men there being 983 women and 971 men who have signed the rolls. This is a poor showing considering there are more than 5000 citizens of voting age within the city, and the time for qualifying for the city election is short. Anaheim is trailing the other cities of the county in its percentage of registration. Fullerton and Orange have a smaller voting strength, but each is ahead of us in the registration. There are thirteen incorporated cities in the county. Some of them made a good showing on Backs' books Monday, but the reports from most of them showed indifference by the voters. The total for Santa Ana was 10,903; Fullerton, 2683; Orange, 2501; Anaheim, 1954; Laguna Beach, 1008; Huntington Beach, 656; Brea, 550; Newport Beach, 506; Tustin, 299; La Habra, 292; Seal Beach, 250; San Clemente, 202; with Placentia trailing with only 64. In the county only 26,875 had registered up to Monday. Backs estimates that the total in the county will approximate 55,000, which is an increase of 5,000 over the figure two years ago. There will probably be a warm contest in Anaheim during the next month. Six candidates will contest for the three vacancies at the council table, and you will probably regret it on election day if you are not qualified to vote. It costs you nothing and requires only a few moments of your time. Remember Saturday is the last day. Don't neglect it. City's Tax Rate Second Lowest In the State Abolition of the city manager is the principal issue in the campaign now on. Many voters believe that the maintenance of a city manager's office is an unnecessary expense imposed on the taxpayers and they fail to consider the advantages reaped by the city. A little time spent in investigation would convince them that the machinery of the city government is now running more smoothly, and that the city's affairs are handled more efficiently and with greater economy than ever before. For many years before the adoption of the system Anaheim's tax rate stood at $1.45 on the $100 of valuation, and the treasury was never overburdened with a surplus. In 1925 when the city manager was functioning and all the departments had been amalgamated under one head the trustees found that much confusion and expense had been eliminated, and they were able to reduce the taxes to $1.40 on the $100 of valuation, notwithstanding the added expense of maintaining a city manager. Next year the board found itself in a position to be able to reduce this to $1.35, and in 1927, the following year, a further slash was made, reducing the rate to $1.25. To abolish the city manager and reverting to the old system would be a retrograde movement and a costly one, as the taxpayers would soon discover. It is a step that Anaheim cannot afford to take. Christian Science Church "Man" will be the subject of the Lesson-Sermon Sunday in all Christian Science churches, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. One of the Scripture selections includes Paul's advice and assurance to the Colossians, "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitlteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth... When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory." A correlative passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," presents these words by Mary Baker Eddy: "Mortals must gravitate Godward, their affections and aims grow spiritual—they must near the broader interpretations of being, and gain some City’s Tax Rate Second Lowest In the State (Continued from Page 1) solidated under one head. As a result, the board created the office of city manager and placed the various departments of the city under his general supervision. The superintendent of streets was made ex-officio the city manager. Mr. Steward was appointed the first city manager. The duties placed upon him, which are the same today, were: 1. To maintain an office provided by the board of trustees. The purpose of such an office was to meet the need for some central place in which to centralize the routine business of the city. Theretofore it was becoming increasingly inconvenient and difficult to find any person with whom to place complaints. As in all cases of decentralization, it was not easy to find an employee ready or willing to assume responsibility or blame. The office was also designed to operate as a means of disseminating information concerning the activities of the municipal government. 2. To keep the board of trustees fully advised as to the financial condition and needs of the city. The trustees felt the need of obtaining concrete and specific information concerning the money matters of the government rather than relying upon the general conclusions evidenced by the general financial statement. 3. To be custodian of all personal property belonging to the city when the same was not in use or needed by any other officer or department, and to be charged with the care and safekeeping of such property. To file an annual inventory with the city clerk of all property in his possession or under his control. Theretofore, each department took care of the city’s property in its charge in its own way. No inventories were taken, nor was the clerk able to estimate the amount or character of such property except by plain guesswork. 4. The city manager can not spend one cent of the city’s money without the approval of the board of trustees. Herein, the Trustees provided for remedying a long existing evil; indiscriminate and promiscuous buying. From their own experience they knew that to have each employee purchase his own supplies cost the city more money than would be expended by one person buying for all the departments. For the same reason was the office of purchasing agent created for the government of Orange county. 5. To have supervision over the light of 5,000 over the figure two years ago. There will probably be a warm contest in Anaheim during the next month. Six candidates will contest for the three vacancies at the council table, and you will probably regret it on election day if you are not qualified to vote. It costs you nothing and requires only a few moments of your time. Remember Saturday is the last day. Don’t neglect it. A correlative passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," presents these words by Mary Baker Eddy: "Mortals must gravitate Godward, their affections and alms grow spiritual—they must near the broader interpretations of being, and gain some proper sense of the infinite—in order that sin and mortality may be put off." Twenty-three years ago, a new word entered the English language. That word was "Sunkist," coined by the California Fruit Growers Exchange as the brand name for its better grades of fruit. Today “Sunkist” is a household word, known in the far corners of the earth. Housewives express their confidence in it, in the grocery stores of three continents, over a million times a day. It is the best known brand of fresh fruit in the world. More people prefer it than all other brands of citrus fruits combined. "Sunkist" on citrus fruit has come to have the same significance as "sterling" on silver. Dependable fruit, sound sales policies, and twenty-three years of continuous Sunkist advertising have built a public and trade 4. The city manager can not spend one cent of the city's money without the approval of the board of trustees. Herein, the Trustees provided for remedying a long existing evil; indiscriminate and promiscuous buying. From their own experience they knew that to have each employee purchase his own supplies cost the city more money than would be expended by one person buying for all the departments. For the same reason was the office of purchasing agent created for the government of Orange county. 5. To have supervision over the light and water plants of the city and provide for the measuring of the electricity and water used by the consumers. 6. To act ex-officio as city electrician and plumbing inspector. 7. To have management and control of the city sewer farm, of the city dumping ground and of the public parks. 8. To discharge such other duties as might be prescribed by the trustees, subject, however, to their approval. In creating such an office and in prescribing such duties, the board of trustees did not delegate to the city manager an lota of their own authority. He could do nothing without their approval. He was placed in a position similar to that of the ordinary school superintendent, his job being to carry out the direct wishes of the board, and in turn, giving the board a person to whom to look for explanation of the manner in which the subordinate, ministerial departments carried on their work. Upon entering upon his duties as city manager, Mr. Steward immediately set out to improve the efficiency of the government. One of his first acts was to institute a system of bookkeeping covering the entire municipal organization. By making all purchases though his office, the city was saved much money. For the first time in the history of the city the board of trustees and the citizens of Anaheim knew exactly what the city owned, how it conducted its affairs and how it spent its money. The administration of the city changed from a haphazard guesswork method to the plan used by a success- WHAT THE EXCHANGE IS: The California Fruit Growers Exchange is a non-profit organization of more than 12,000 California citrus fruit growers, producing over 75% of the California citrus crop, operated by and for them on cooperative basis.
