Bill Schumacher Proves His Worth (Continued from page 1) recount was authorized by the court, Schumacher emerged victorious by a margin of one ballot. In his home town of Buena Park he won by a landslide vote—129 to 3. That was 20 years ago. A remarkable indication of the growth of the third district in two decades can be seen in the fact that in 1912 there were but 14 precincts in the entire area. Today there are $1. The total vote at Schumacher's first election was 3208. In the August primary this year the total vote for supervisor in the third district was 11,681. Schumacher had a lead of 2647 over his nearest opponent, LeRoy Lyon, the two men being scheduled to seek election in November. Schumacher's first campaign platform also expressed his three major objectives when he took office: "A square deal for everyone, location of the county hospital, in the center of the county, and good roads for the third district." Early Record Impresses In making good his pre-election pledges, the new supervisor faced his greatest task in improving third district roads. The county hospital was located in the center of the county, three miles south of Anaheim. Schumacher set out to get a square deal for everyone, particularly in respect to highways, of which the third district was in great need. The assessed valuation of this area was $13,785,810, or more than one-third of the total for the county. In 1932 the figure maintains the same ratio, the third district total being $57,410,875. Schumacher took the position that road money raised by taxes in the third district should be used for improvement of highways in this territory. He had been in office but a short time when he got the board to agree to a more equitable distribution of funds. Schumacher's first term was an episcal period in Orange county highway development. The people had just Schumacher's first term was an episcal period in Orange county highway development. The people had just voted $1,270,000 for a paved road system and a program of construction had been mapped out by a county highway commission. On completion of this project of about 100 miles of pavement, there was still approximately $240,000 in the bond fund. Adding some money to this, the board of supervisors built additional 30 miles. Schumacher secured seven miles, or practically one quarter of the extra highway for his district. This additional milage included pavement from Placentia to Yorba Linda, Hiatt street in La Habra, and a portion of Lincoln avenue, connecting Anaheim and Stanton. Builds Needed Roads Completion of this original good roads program left Brea, La Habra and Yorba Linda without connecting links. Through Schumacher's efforts these highways were built. Some of the third district roads were practically impassable when the new supervisor's term began. He soon remedied this condition, notable examples of which were the roads to Yorba Linda and the Golden State tract, leading out of Anaheim. At about this time the state highway was built through Orange county. Selection of the route was entirely outside the jurisdiction of the board of supervisors. After much discussion regarding the route at La Habra, the state finally built the road around that city at the north. Schumacher remedied that condition by securing a paved county highway through La Habra, which connected the community with the state road on the north and east. It was recalled that one of his campaign promises was a square deal for everybody. Fights Shoestrings The third district had entered a momentous period in its history at the time Schumacher began his first term. A plan was being promoted to cut shoe string strips off on each side of the third district, annexing the areas to other districts. The proposed amputation would have robbed this territory of many thousands of dollars of much needed tax income. Schumacher and others fought the scheme determinedly and successfully. The climax came in March, 1915, at a mass meeting in Santa Ana. Schumacher and a third district delegation went into the fight to save their territory.

A plan was being promoted to cut shoe string strips off on each side of the third district, annexing the areas to other districts. The proposed amputation would have robbed this territory of many thousands of dollars of much needed tax income. Schumacher and others fought the scheme determinedly and successfully. The climax came in March, 1915, at a mass meeting in Santa Ana. Schumacher and a third district delegation went into the fight to save their territory. Not only was the area preserved intact but, to quote the Anaheim Plain Dealer of the time, "Schumacher was assured that a more equitable apportionment of county funds would also be made in the future, which is what the third district has been contending for." Before he had been in office two months, the young rancher and public official had a chance to go to bat for his policy of spending road tax money in the district where it is raised. The coast area of the county was seeking a paved road from Seal Beach to San Juan Capistrano. Schumacher had no objection to the road being built, but he opposed the setup of this particular program, claiming it was unfair because it would take third district money for improving another district's roads. It looked like a losing battle, for on February 24, 1913, the board informally voted four to one in favor of the huge project. But Schumacher was not through working for the third district. He offset the impending loss in advance by securing concessions for his people. Withdrawing his opposition to the coast project, he decided the time had come to clinch the pledge of a more equal distribution of road money. At this time he secured the addition of one and one-half miles of paved highway near Anaheim, which was not provided in the county good roads program. And he came home with the promise of a new concrete bridge across the Santa Ana river between Anaheim and Olive. This sorely needed structure facilitated the drawing of trade to Anaheim from the east. Proves His Worth In the end, however, the coast highway was built by the state, and thus Schumacher's efforts on behalf of his son-Sermon on Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. Among the Bible citations are these verses from Matthew, relating to Christ Jesus: "And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed; and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy: Son, be of good cheer; they sins be forgiven thee. And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy.) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. And he arose, and departed to his house." A passage from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perct man the Saviours saw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick." district helped to save money for the entire county in construction of this road. The esteem in which the new supervisor was held both for his county and community service, was evidenced on December 12, 1913, when the young rancher was elected unanimously as president of the Buena Park Chamber of Commerce. Shortly afterward the Anaheim Plain Dealer declared, "The boy grows in the estimation of the people as time passes. No mistake was made in calling him from the ranks to the board of supervisors. He has already proved his worth as a worker for the good." Even before this, the Fullerton Tribune had remarked, prophetically, "Although Supervisor Schumacher has only been in office a few months, he is making a great record as a road builder as well as looking after this part of the county in many other ways. He is a hard worker and will no doubt make one of the best representatives Orange county has ever had in the supervisors' office."

Huntington Beach Measure Outlined Beach Cannot Now Be Used By Public; Plan Offset Wells to Protect People's Rights A fight to keep the Standard Oil company of California from indefinitely continuing to draw state-owned oil from underneath the tidelands at Huntington Beach, thus robbing the people of the state of their rightful mineral heritage, reaches its climax in November when the people of the state vote on proposition No. 11, Attorney Lew Blodgett stated Tuesday evening when newspapermen of Orange county were guests of the city council of Huntington Beach at the Bear Cafe. Purpose of the meeting was to put the city's position on the proposition. IN LITTLE OLI NEW YORK CARL H GETZ When stock market prices go up in New York the daily number of suicides decreases.

Purpose of the meeting was to put the city's position on the proposition, by which it asks the right to control tidelands on its own ocean front. The proposition, identical in wording, was passed unanimously by the legislature and the state senate during the last session, but Governor Rolph refused to sign it. It provides for permitting Huntington Beach to lease the tidelands to a private concern for the purpose of drilling offset wells to the 17 now operated by the Standard Oil on the edge of tidelands, drawing half the oil from a pool which runs under the ocean, thus becoming legally a property of the people of the state. Photographs introduced by Blodgett show that the Standard has drilled 17 wells along the tidland edge, on property secured when it purchased the Huntington Beach company. The company to which the city proposes to lease the tidelands agrees to pay 16 2-3 per cent royalty one-half to the state, the other half to the city. Blodgett states that the Standard has taken not less than seven an done-half millions of dollars of oil from the 17 wells within the last few years, and that each of the better wells is flowing not less than 2,000 barrels a day. This rich oil strike, he claims, is coming half from the state owned portion of the pool, and half from Standard's portion. Drilling offset wells is viewed as the only way in which the rights of the people can be protected. Answering charges that the drilling would destroy the beach so that it could not be enjoyed by the public, Blodgett pointed to photographs showing the Standard had erected a 10-foot retaining wall, inside which the public is not allowed, and outside which the waves strike with such ferocity that the public cannot use the beach, even for surf-fishing. Thus the beach cannot now be used by the public. Some New York apartment house residents have windows looking out upon unpleasant surroundings. So they have pretty pictures painted on the windows.
