COLONISTS ABANDON CACTUS FENCE PLANS BECAUSE MANY LOT OWNERS OBJECT; VAN GUELPIN PRESIDENT Original Motion to Erect Cactus Barrier to Keep Out Wild Cattle Carried Almost Unanimously and $196 Spent on Construction; General Meeting Held to Thresh Out Company Problems The proposed cactus fence around the colony of Anaheim, which first was voted January 21, 1863 and on which $196 was expended, never was completed because certain property owners objected to the proposal, although the original motion was passed almost unanimously. Decision to give up the cactus fence project was made on April 11, 1863, at a general meeting of the Anaheim Water company. At that time the financial condition of the company, the water sold and the major projects under consideration were passed upon. At the same general meeting the stockholders voted upon president and directors for the coming year. Secretary Charles van Guelpin received 22 votes against two for August Hahn, and was elect president.

Special District Financing Studied Association Working Out Plan To Stop Overlapping Assessment Abuses Much has been accomplished by legislative action in restricting abuses of special assessment district laws and more can be done by the repeal of numerous acts and enactment of two simple procedures for major and minor projects." Research Director Gil A. Cowan of the California Taxation Improvement association states. But there is a very immediate and practical problem," he added. "In 1927 the California Taxation Improvement association first called attention to 'the colossal menace of overlapping special management districts.' Governors Reinhardt Exchange Sales Set New Record Sells 3637 Carloads Oranges in November, Price 2 Cents Less Per Box Than Year Ago The California Fruit Growers change sold 3,637 carloads of California and Arizona oranges during November at only two cents a box less than a year ago, although sales were 248 cars ahead of November, 1931, cording to T. H. Powell, general manager of the exchange. The November, 1931, sales represented the prevailing volume of sales for that month in history of the citrus industry, yet month's sales exceeded the 1931 figure by over 7 per cent. The market on Valencia oranges vanced 80 cents a box during November, based on exchange sales which represented more than 85 per cent the total sales with 2,812 cars of variety. Mr. Powell stated that average prices for each month of the season showed that returns for the most of June and August were below the son average, while prices on Valencia had steadily advanced since September. He explained that more money was turned to exchange growers for cars of Valencias sold in November than had been returned for 4,355 loads sold in August. "I notice a statement in a Reddit paper that one of the outside ship deplores the discussions of overprotection and surplus control of oranges said Mr. Powell. "We deplore them and in addition to deploring condition exchange growers have invested seven million dollars in Sunkist advertising, otherwise we would not be able sell half the fruit we are selling to The exchange is putting another mile and a quarter dollars into Sunkist vertising in 1933, and if we had no grower support we could do more develop markets and increase consumption which up to date has been almost entirely by the exchange."

Secretary was instructed to write Mr. Michaels explaining to him that it would be to his advantage to withdraw from the company. Communication from Reiser & Hartmann asking the same privilege as their neighbor Mr. Kuelp to use the water alley between their properties, further to restrain Mr. Kuelp from flooding their vineyard, every time he, Mr. Kuelp would irrigate.

Car Damaged by Fire As Department Called Back-firing of the machine they were repairing were blamed by employees of the DuBois garage on North Lemon street for the fire which did considerable damage to the car. The fire department was called to put out the blaze and prevent possible spread. "Much has been accomplished by legislative action in restricting abuses of special assessment district laws and more can be done by the repeal of numerous acts and enactment of two simple procedures for major and minor projects." Research Director Gil A. Cowan of the California Taxation Improvement association states. "But there is a very immediate and practical problem," he added. "In 1927 the California Taxation Improvement association first called attention to 'the colossal menace of overlapping special assessment districts.' Governor Rolph in his inaugural message in 1931 uttered similar warning. "Today we find existing conditions in special improvement districts no longer a mere menace. They provided a fiscal Frankenstein that fairly blights the collection of ordinary local taxes. "Defunct small districts, imposed upon larger districts which, in turn, include great taxable areas, are causes of increasing delinquency. Under present law, much land and some improvements are escheating to the state. It is held not subject to local taxes. This threatens disaster. "Something must be done to preserve the property tax base. Legislation looking to the economic phase of the problem is essential. Consideration must be given methods of refinancing overlapping districts such as one found to have $12,000 in assessed value and more than $360,000 in special assessments levied against it. The average district rate for the special improvements in this case is $500 for each $100 of assessed value annually; the average county tax rate for general government is about $4.00 per $100 of assessed value annually." "An early determination of the rights of bondholders should be provided, perhaps, in the instance of defaulting districts. Then upon application of interested parties an appraisal, should be refinanced, which would tend to accelerate the sale of the property involved. This would return, within a year or two, much of the escheated property to local tax rolls." Jewelers report that the sale of diamonds is excellent. It seems some people believe precious stones safer invest- ts than current money.
