THE GAZETTE Is Now In its 64th Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXIV PLAN SPREADING OF WATER ALONG LOWER SANTA ANA CCC Workers Promised for Building Channels; Property Owners Sign Use of Land Through co-operation of CCC officials and granting of right by private parties for use of riverbottom lands, flood and run-off waters will be spread between the Yorba bridge and the Chapman avenue bridge this winter, if present plans of the Orange county water district mature. Forestry officials, who have charge of the work done by CCC camps, recently promised members of the water board that as many CCC workers would be furnished as necessary for preparation of spreading channels. The number of men needed, however, cannot be determined till Florida Control Engineer Nick Thompson has completed his survey and secured permission from owners of riverbottom lands for spreading. Members of the board were informed this week that no owner of land yet contracted had refused permission to use it for spreading purposes. A committee from the water board, of which William T. Wallop is chairman and C. Roy Browning and William P. Schumacher members, appeared before the county board of supervisors Tuesday, asking for an advance of a small amount of money, to be repaid President’s Advisers on Managed Current Herowith are pictures of the men who are generally occupying important positions in the direction of President T. monetary policy as regard a managed currency and the purcha to establish the commodity dollar.

As a vegetable-producing county, it is fifth in acreage and value of all counties in the United States; and twelfth in acreage in value in the State of California. This record is achieved that the county's major agricultural wealth lies in citrus culture, and further, despite its comparatively small total acreage. Figure for this county's showing were taken from a U.S. bureau of census report received this week by the federal-state crop reporting service at the state department of agriculture. This report shows California coming forth with a remarkable record as a vegetable producer. Twelve of the first 50 counties in the United States are in this state, with Imperial, Sacramento and Monterey counties leading the nation in that order. Los Angeles is fifth and just below Maricopa county, Arizona. In the value of the crops, Imperial county is first, Los Angeles county second, Monterey county third, Sacramento county fourth, San Joaquin county eleventh, San Joaquin county was twelfth in the nation in acreage planted, the report showed. Other leading vegetable counties of the nation included the following in California: Alameda, twenty-first in acreage, thirty-eighth in value of crops, Solano, twenty-eighth in acreage, seventeenth in value of crops. Santa Clara, thirty-first in acreage, twenty-first in value of crops. Stanislaus, thirty-third in acreage, fifty-second in value of crops. Santa Barbara, thirty-fifth in acreage, eighteenth in value of crops. Contra Costa, thirty-eighth in acreage, fifteenth in value of crops. Orange, fifteenth in acreage, forty-first in value of crops. The following are the acreage and crop value figures as listed in the report for the California counties: Plan Barn Day Saturday Business Licenses Bring $512 In Oct. Chief of Police James S.

Buy Oranges Appeal to the federal government to include citrus products in its purchases of food for relief of needy throughout the nation was made by the Orange county board of supervisors late Tuesday in a resolution setting forth reasons for the request. The board stated that citrus growers for three years have operated without profit; that oranges are a recognized part of any health diet which should be the objective of any relief work; that growers through adoption of a pro-rate system have contributed large portions of fruit to the needy; that purchase of surplus fruit by the government would tend to raise market prices and thus afford the grower an opportunity of making expenses or a profit. The supervisors followed the lead of the Riverside board in making this request.

But what a memory, in the minds of persons who swaltered under the 98-degree temperature, with humidity running as low as 20 and atmospheric pressure as high as 30.6. Normal temperature nearer 70 degrees, normal humidity about 26-28, and normal atmospheric pressure a full point less than experienced this week. Monday's high of 98 degrees set a new temperature for November in Anaheim. Once during October the mercury climbed to 103 degrees. Tuesday's temperature dropped to 95 degrees, and Wednesday's back to about normal.

Five were felony cases, seven juvenile cases and two received suspended sentences. Pays Million Marks For Cigarette, Buys New Jewelry And Sells It For Junk To Make Money During Inflation The spectacle of a watchmaker's apprentice paying one million marks for just one cigarette illustrates the heights of depths, which ever it is, of inflation in Germany shortly after the World war. Henry Schneider, who lives at 853 North Lemon street and is employed by Jeweler E. C. Kendirick, experienced that extreme financial transaction when in Germany 10 years ago. He was just completing his apprenticeship when Germany, burdened with debt and possessing no gold, started along the primrose path of inflation. Let Henry tell it: "We had no gold in Germany. What to do for money was a real problem. You know the story of inflation and its results, but there seemed to be no other way. At first it seemed to work beautifully. Prices on all commodities went up, but the difficulty was in foreign exchange where the mark slipped until it was worth practically nothing. I well remember my mother rushing down to where my father worked. He was paid every day. Together they went to the nearest store to spend the day's salary before it lost too much in purchasing power. The value of the mark was fluctuating almost from minute to minute—at least, from day to day. Some days it might be worth slightly more than others, nobody ever seemed to know. Prices of commodities soared. Wages also had to bound upward. "Eventually, a man with a million marks did not have enough to buy a sandwich. I spent that much for a single cigarette. Denominations of the marks ran into the billions. The largest bill I have in my possession at home now, and I have a good many, too, is for 10,000 marks." "Prices on jewelry merchandise changed so rapidly that the price tags could not be changed fast enough. To illustrate this, I decided to do a little high financing on my own account. I bought some silverware and gold articles new in jewelry stores, then turned right around and sold them as junk and obtained more for the gold and silver in them than the price I paid. I made enough from one transaction to buy me a pair of shoes, and shoes in those days cost a good many thousand marks. "Eventually we had to adopt some money as the standard. We adopted the American dollar, and based the value of the mark upon it from daily quotations. We valued our watches, for instance, at $30 in American money. To find the value in marks, we had to figure each sale separately, because the number of marks per dollar changed daily." "It was a terrible experience and it broke everybody." MANY CALIFORNIA CITIES FACING BANKRUPTCY AS STATE'S HIGHEST COURT INTERPRETS THE 1915 ACT Anaheim Fortunate As All of $590,750 Outstanding Bonds Come Under 1911 Matoon Acts; Santa Ana May Be Forced To Levy Assessment To Make Up $50,000 Deficiency While scores of cities throughout California are in the midst of financial jitters as a result of the state supreme court decision holding that cities must levy taxes to make up defaults on bonds issued under the 1915 improvement act, Anaheim still serenely onward, proud of the fact that not a dollar's worth of bonds are likely to bounce back to harness present or future city administrations. Several nearby cities, however, aren't as lucky as Anaheim. Santa Ana has approximately $50,000 delinquencies under the illfated improvement act, while Compton, Burbank and Glendale are understood by Anaheim City Treasurer Charles Boege to be heavily burdened. "The danger as I see it from the decision of the state court," Boege says. "is that persons who otherwise would not default in their payments will see that they can escape some of their assessments by defaulting. They may reason that if they pay their assessments and taxes they will be subject to still greater financial burden to make up what others have defaulted. "In such a case, there would only be one logical step for a city to take—that step is bankrupty, much as one hates to think of an American city resorting to such a thing. If the decision is not over-ruled by the United States supreme court, or a re-hearing and adverse decision obtained, bankruptcy" CITIZENSHIP OF ANAHEIM GIRL IS RESTORED TO HER Helen Gladys Emery Married Japanese, Her 5 Children Born Citizens; Lost Rights The story of an Anaheim girl who lost her citizenship when she married a Japanese in 1909 was brought to light here this week when Mrs. Helen Gladys Emery Aoki-Oakley had her citizenship restored to her at Berkeley.

Helen Gladys Emery Married Japanese, Her 5 Children Born Citizens; Lost Eights The story of an Anaheim girl who lost her citizenship when she married a Japanese in 1909 was brought to light here this week when Mrs. Helen Gladys Emery Aoki-Oakle had her citizenship restored to her at Berkeley. Helen Gladys Emery was born in Anaheim, the daughter of Reverend and Mrs. John A. Emery. The late Arch-deacon Emery was one of the first rectors of St. Michael's Episcopal church, serving his local parish half a century ago. Miss Emery lived here during her girlhood, going to Oakland with her parents, where she met and fell in love with Gunjiro Aoki, a Japanese. California law forbade the marriage, but the couple fled to Seattle where they were wed. Mrs. Aoki thereupon lost her American citizenship under the old law that the wife assumes the legal nationality of her husband. This law was changed in 1924, so that American women since then have not lost their citizenship when marrying foreigners. Mrs. Aoki, 45 years old, is the mother of five children, all American citizens by birth. She petitioned for restoration of her citizenship under the name of Oakle, the petition being granted early this week. Twenty-Thirtians Nominate Officers Twenty-thirty club members this week pondered over nominations for officers of their organization for the coming six-month period. At the regular dinner-meeting Monday evening at the Marigold cafe, the following candidates were nominated: Ray Reafsnyer and Vic Fleming, president; Wilbert Helden and Vic Fleming, vice-president; Charles Bush and Lawrence Poirier, secretary; Clinton Griggs and Charles Bush, treasurer; John Cupp and Charles Richards, sergeant-at-arms. Program chairman introduced Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Kuenzli, Anaheim musicians, with the former singing a group of songs and his wife accompanying. She also contributed a musical reading. Victor Schumacher Funeral On Friday Funeral services for Victor Schumacher, 88 retired orange grower who died Tuesday night at the Fullerton hospital following failure to recover from a stroke suffered in June, will be not default in their payments will see that they can escape some of their assessments by defaulting. They may reason that if they pay their assessments and taxes they will be subject to still greater financial burden to make up what others have defaulted. "In such a case, there would only be one logical step for a city to take—that step is bankruptcy, much as one hates to think of an American city resorting to such a thing. If the decision is not over-ruled by the United States supreme court, or a re-hearing and adverse decision obtained, bankruptcy actually stares scores of California cities in the face." The case which has caused such a stir in California cities is that of the American company, a corporation, petitioner and appellant vs. the City of Lakeport et al, Sacramento No. 4623. Lakeport's improvements under the 1915 act are levied upon 30 per cent of the entire assessed valuation of the city. Defaults in bond payments led to the suit. "Cities of California are getting together to carry the case to the United States supreme court," Boege said. "Fortunately, Anaheim has been conservative in her improvements and steadily refused to use the 1915 act. Only two of our improvements come under the Mattoon act, which specifically tells how collections shall be made and cannot be interpreted, as I understand the measure, in the same light as the 1915 act. The balance of our improvements are financed under the 1911 act, under which a separate bond is issued for each lot, thus permitting the lot-holder to pay the amount of the bond, plus six months' interest, and obtain a clear piece of property. That cannot be done under either the 1915 act or the Mattoon act. The two improvements which come under the latter measure in Anaheim are the Palm street and Lincoln avenue asquisitions." A large share of the delinquencies in taxation in Orange county are from certain areas in the Newport district. Most of these improvements are financed under the 1911 act, and therefore do not threaten the financial stability of those areas. Anaheim's bonded indebtedness as of October 15, 1933, is: City park bonds, (Continued on page 3) County Will Vote On Harbor Bonds Orange county residents will vote upon two bond issues on December 19, one a county and the other a state proposition. This was assured Tuesday when the board of supervisors officially approved the special election date as the time when citizens shall express their approval or disapproval of the proposed development of Newport harbor. Under plans worked out, and with the full approval of the U.S. army engineers, the federal government will contribute two dollars for every one put up by the county. No opposition to the bonds was produced at the meeting of the board Tuesday. County Engineer Nat H. Neff and Newport Beach City Engineer R. L. Patterson put their approval on the estimated cost of $1,800,000 for the project, which calls for a bond issue of $640,500, to be levied upon the county as a whole district. The government has approved an outright gift of half of the total cost, and has indicated approval for a contribution of 30 per cent of the remaining half. First contribution is under the rivers and harbors act, and the second under the public works program fostered by the federal government. Bond attorneys appearing before the board stated the act of 1827, under which the issue will be formed, permits but one bond issue, with the district continuing in existence to levy the tax for principal and interest. This was advanced to meet the objection that the county would be tied permanently to a harbor district. Supervisors also would have the power to levy assessments for harbor maintenance under the proposal, but it was pointed out the board already has that power under the 1919 issue, and that it never has exercised it. The state bond issue is in the nature of a referendum on the proposed $170,-000,000 central valley project, balloting on which was set by Governor James Rolph for December 19. By holding the Orange county election on the same date the expenses of a separate election can be saved. Victor Schumacher Funeral On Friday Funeral services for Victor Schumacher, 88 retired orange grower who died Tuesday night at the Fullerton hospital following failure to recover from a stroke suffered in June, will be held Friday morning at St. Mary's Catholic church, Fullerton. Members of the Anaheim Concordia club, of which the deceased was a member, will be pallbearers. Mr. Schumacher had lived on his ranch on East Oranggethorpe avenue for more than a quarter of a century. He is survived by two sons, Frank, of Elryla, Ohio, and Victor Jr., of Chicago, Illinois; and two daughters, Mrs. Anna F. Bender and Mrs. Katie Krez, both of Cheriot, Ohio.
