Beaches Sharing Greater Portion Of County Taxes More Harbor Cities Pay Into Coffers, The Less Ranch Owners Must "Divvy Up" Development of Orange county's shoreline increases the taxes which the coastal district pays into the county treasury at Santa Ana, and cuts down the proportion of taxes to be paid by ranchers and other interior property owners, according to actual facts and figures made public recently by the Orange County Harbor association as a convincing argument as to why all taxpayers, and especially ranchers, should vote for the harbor district proposal on the Dec. 19 ballot. A narrow coast strip, from Seal Beach to San Clemente, which was assessed at $6,328,630 has grown to an assessed valuation for county tax purposes of $28,271,010 the figures show, and taxes paid to the county by this narrow strip were nearly $400,000 more this past year than in 1919, which lessened to that extent the tax total borne by ranchers and home owners in inland portions of the county. In the 14 years since the county first took a hand in the development of Newport Bay, the assessed valuation of Newport Beach alone, as fixed by County Assessor James Sleeper, grew from $1,177,730 to $5,703,400, it was shown. San Clemente, assessed at barley-land figures just a few years ago, has a county assessed value at present of $1,353,245, while Doheny Park and Dana Point, similarly situated show a corresponding increase. Since oil valuations are rapidly declining, and this deficit must be made up by other taxpayers, it behooves them to encourage creation of new taxable wealth along the coastline to prevent Newport Beach alone, as fixed by County Assessor James Sleeper, grew from $1,177,730 to $5,703,400, it was shown. San Clemente, assessed at barley-land figures just a few years ago, has a county assessed value at present of $1,353,245, while Doheny Park and Dana Point, similarly situated show a corresponding increase. Since oil valuations are rapidly declining, and this deficit must be made up by other taxpayers, it behooves them to encourage creation of new taxable wealth along the coastline to prevent increases in their own rates throughout the county. Harbor association officials point out. Because of this unusual feature, they continued, taxpayers away from the coastline have the unique opportunity, which comes only once in a lifetime, of voting for a bond issue to reduce their future tax costs, as well as showing their loyalty to the Government and its labor-creating recovery program. A vote for the harbor district is therefore a vote for lower taxes and also a vote to help Uncle Sam build a real federal harbor in Orange county. FOOTBALL! FEARN ELECTRIC RADIO SHOP 273 E.

THIS CHRISTMAS "Bought my Wife an Electric" The smallness of the harbor development cost to taxpayers was shown by the statement that the property owner paying $104 in county taxes on property assessed at $10,000 would pay an average of $2.50 per year additional for the harbor, and the highest rate would be $3.50 the first year, which would gradually reduce each year a retired. With such a nominal great possibilities for future overwhelming vote for December 19 is anticipated.

National Citrus Pact Is In Force Agreement Ready to Prorate Navels If Necessary; Long Sought Goal Achieved "The signing of both the California-Arizona and the Florida citrus marketing agreements and licenses in Washington today to be effective next Monday, December 18, means that the result that practically all citrus growers and most of us interested in citrus marketing have been working for since last July is achieved," said Paul S. Armstrong, General Manager, California Fruit Growers Exchange, on Thursday. "The Exchange appointed its representatives to the growers' advisory and distribution committees some weeks ago," he said. "Members of these committees from the other marketing groups will be named immediately if they have not already been selected, and it is up to these men to set up the machinery for operation under the California and Arizona agreement." "Representatives of the AAA from Washington are now in Los Angeles, and at their request a meeting of the growers' advisory committee will be held Saturday, December 16, to discuss plans for the administration of the agreement."
