WHAT IT COSTS TO HOLD ELECTION Orange County Paid Out More Than Forty Thousand for Elections Last Year With election ballots getting larger and larger every year, the mounting cost of elections is rapidly becoming a problem of both the State of California and its 58 counties. Last year all of the counties paid out $1,686,266.13 in conduction elections, according to figures just compiled by State controller Ray L. Riley. Of this figure, Orange county's election costs were $40,863.14, the statement showed. When California's general election ballot in 1926 carried 21 measures and a correspondingly large number of candidates for state office, a great hue and cry went up about the "horse blanket" ballot to be given to the voters. Political observers, accustomed to "view with alarm," insisted that the limit had been reached, and something ought to be done about it. This year, however, the number of measures has increased to 26, and virtually every county in the state has a great number of contestants for county offices as well as legislative posts. In the total cost of elections, Los Angeles led the state last year, with an election bill of $447,504. San Francisco was next with $291,976, and Alameda county third, with $191,962. Little Alpine county, whose total population is only 239, according to the 1930 census, paid only $622.11 for elections. Other county costs were as follows: Sacramento, $69,333; San Bernardino, $66,345; Santa Clara, $58,696; San Diego, $55,802; Kern, $55,364; and San Mateo, $51,454. TAKE PRECAUTION AGAINST PLAGUE State Authorities Keep Vigilant Watch to Prevent It TAKE PRECAUTION AGAINST PLAGUE State Authorities Keep Vigilant Watch to Prevent Its Entry Dread bubonic plague is not active at present in California, but the state department of agriculture is taking no chances of its recurrence. A survey of the state has definitely proven that ground squirrels, at times virulent carriers of the disease, are now free from germs. At one time San Francisco was a center of infection for bubonic plague. Ships sailing in through the Golden Gate from the Orient, where the plague is rampant, carried germs and they were spread through the state. But modern quarantine methods have eliminated the hazard in this point to a minimum. Unfortunately, the germs had spread through certain coastal counties and infected ground squirrels. At the request of the state department of health, the agriculture department cooperated in extensive operations against squirrels in these counties, particularly where health authorities indicated that centers of plague infection existed. Several thousand rodents were trapped and shot in the areas which previously harbored bubonic plague infection. Not one animal was found infected, in contrast to conditions a year ago when 20 known centers of infection were uncovered among ground squirrels. As the department of agriculture was already organized for this type of work, because of economic damage to agriculture done by ground squirrels, it was carried on at the lowest possible expense. Field laboratories were set up by the department where health and agricultural experts worked in examining specimens obtained. County boards of supervisors matched state funds available for work in their counties. Agreements with landowners in areas involved permitted the counties to supply the equivalent amount in labor or materials for prosecution of operations ont heir holdings.

Bradley, state mineralogist. Orange county showed a total of $60,547,041 in mineral resources value last year, the report showed. "Although California is exceeded in the total annual value of her mineral output, it is surpassed only by four or five other states, most of them being the great coal states east of the Mississippi River," Bradley declared. "Every county has minerals of commercial value, with some active production reported to the state division of mines and mining from all of the 58 counties." Petroleum is responsible for position of the first four counties, which were Los Angeles, Kern, Orange, and Ventura. San Bernardino was fifth, with cement, silver, potash, borax, mineral water an dungsten produced there. Rresno county was sixth, with petroleum as the chief product. Gold, once the principle mineral product of California, was responsible for where the world's highest dam will be wedged into living rock. Lower right, conception of completed Boulder Dam and power plants. Lower left and upper right, modern day Las Vegas and Las Vegas of 1906 shortly after the Union Pacific System started serving the now properous community. Yuba county coming eighth on the list. "Twenty four counties each had a total mineral value of more than $1,000,000." Bradley continued. "Cement is an important item in nine of these counties, gold in four, and miscellaneous stone, granite and soda in one each. In the point of variety and diversity, San Bernardino county led all others with a total of 23 different mineral products on her commercial list, followed by Los Angeles with 20 products." California leads all states in production of gold, quicksilver, and platinum. It has alternated in the lead with Colorado in tungsten and with Oklahoma in petroleum. For many years this state was the sole domestic source of borax (chromite and magnesite), and still leads the nation in production of these materials. PARTY, Club.
