Building Permits Drop Third In '33 Despite permits taken out to repair or alter buildings damaged by the March 10 earthquake, building permit totals for Anaheim during the year 1933 totaled $45,000 less than for the previous year. In 1933 the total construction cost $79,818 as compared with $126,407 for the year 1932. In December 10 permits were taken out for improvements valued at $2386, while the previous December witnessed 14 permits for $3945. Building activity reached its height in Anaheim for the year 1933 in October when $20,420 for new construction was recorded. During the year 178 permits were taken out, while for 1932 there were 147 permits granted.

From here its deadly stupefying effect is exerted on THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON The first regular session of the 73rd Congress of the United States will make history, for several reasons. First, this is the first session under the 20th amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shifted the date for the sitting of Congress from the first Monday in December to the early days of January. Second, this will be the only regular session of this Congress, which was called in extra session by President Roosevelt immediately after his inauguration last Spring. Next November there will be another election of Representatives, but there will be no "lame duck" session of the present Congress. Their successors will take their seats in January, 1935; so anything which the present Congress wants to get done will have to be done at this session. Third, and most important of the items which seem likely to make this session of Congress memorable, it will have to decide whether the United States of America is going to "swing to the left" and go in for a Socialism in its more radical form, or whether the middle-of-the-road policy, neither radical nor ultra-conservative, is going to be the guiding principle for further progress toward recovery. Set-up of Congress What Congress will decide is anybody's guess as yet, but some of the considerations which will contribute toward the decision are obvious. This is a Democratic Congress. That party has 316 members, as against only 114 Republicans and five Farmer-Labor. That, on the face of it, if recent political history counted for anything, would mean a decidedly Conservative attitude; There is no doubt that the majority of the Democratic majority will follow him wherever he leads, but there is a good deal of doubt as to whether most of them would follow him any farther to the Left. Every member is keenly conscious that his term of office expires at the end of this calendar year, and that the only way he can get back into Congress is by the vote of the constituency that elected him last year. And most of them don't know, yet, how their constituents like the New Deal as far as it got. They are going to view every new proposal with one eye on the voters of their home districts. This is one session when Congress will have its collective ear close to the grassroots, to catch the first mutterings of approval or disapproval. Last Spring, in the extra session, there were no such misgivings. They had been elected in the greatest political landslide in our history, along with Mr. Roosevelt, in response to a universal clamor for a "New Deal." The precise nature of the New Deal was not clear in the minds of the voters, of the members of Congress, perhaps not even in that of the President. But they knew their constituents were behind them in desiring something to be done, and that speedily. They didn't try to figure it out for themselves, but gave the President broad powers to run the United States about as he saw fit. It was frankly an experiment, but that was what everybody wanted. They were tired of the policy of waiting for the normal laws of economics to operate, and anything that promised to hurry up the process was all right with a case of poisoning of the brain, the center of all intelligence! . .

This is a Democratic Congress. That party has 316 members, as against only 114 Republicans and five Farmer-Labor. That, on the face of it, if recent political history counted for anything, would mean a decidedly Conservative attitude: for the Democratic party has been almost as conservative as the Republican since 1920. Indeed, many of the most radical members of both houses in the past few years have worn the Republican label. The only party represented which is avowedly radical is the Farmer-Labor. But political labels count for little or nothing in these days. There is still a strong conservative element in the Democratic party, but it is nowhere nearly as dominant as it was four years ago. And in Congress there is no strong leadership that can hold the various elements of the party together if its members show signs of splitting up into minor groups. The only leadership is in the White House or outside of public life entirely. Beyond doubt there will be vigorous efforts made to form a conservative Democratic bloc, to stand as a bulwark against the assaults of the radical element. How far that effort will succeed will depend upon how far the President goes in proposing or assenting to a program more radical than that which he asked for, and got, last Spring. The Roosevelt Success Just where the President wil stand, as between the eager young revolutionists in his Administration, who would turn the nation over to Socialism willingly, and the conservative element, which thinks his program as developed so far contains elements of danger and needs trimming, is as-yet a matter of opinion. Mr. Roosevelt's success as a practical politician is largely due to the fact that he does not tip his hand in their constituents were behind them in desiring something to be done, and that speedily. They didn't try to figure it out for themselves, but gave the President broad powers to run the United States about as he saw fit. It was frankly an experiment, but that was what everybody wanted. They were tired of the policy of waiting for the normal laws of economics to operate, and anything that promised to hurry up the process was all right with them. It's Up to President Now they have had a sample of the New Deal. That it has pleased many so far is undeniable. That it has alarmed many is also undeniable. But what is causing more alarm than anything else is not experiments that have been put into motion but the uncertainty as yet where many of them are going to end. The President has the situation in his hands. He can yield to the demands of his youthful enthusiastic advisers and go on to more and more radical measures, designed to destroy the present industrial and economic system in its entirety, or he can say, at any time, that the experiment has gone far enough, that all he wants to do is to strengthen and purify the present system of finance, industry and business, not to discard it. If he does that, he can solidify the Democratic party and make a powerful and enduring force for years to come. If he takes the radical course that is being pressed upon him, he may not have a united party back of him next year. It is hardly likely that anything that can occur between now and election will throw Congress back to Republican control; for the Republican party, in and out of Congress, is like a ship without rudder or sails. It is pretty nearly a total loss at this writing. Perhaps the most important thing to come out of this session of Congress will be sane and forceful leadership under which the opposition can be effectively organized. Assessment Rumor Nailed As a "Lie" Branding rumors that the Texas Oil company's assessment for tank equipment, lands and oils west of Anaheim was only $17,000 as "absolute falsehoods," County Assessor James Sleeper this week turned to assessment rolls for 1933, volume 25, page 230 and showed that the total assessment against the company for that property was $2,079,-750, on which it paid a tax of $47,-211,04. Total valuation of the Cypress school district a list of valuations issued by County Auditor W. T. Lambert is $2,608,640, four-fifths of which is the Texas Oil company property. The balance of valuation in that school district is $528,890. The Texas company's assessment is divided as follows: - Land where tank farm located $14,620 - Buildings and Fence 3,050 - 54-118,000 581,540 - Motors, Pumps and Skimming Tanks 11,340 - Pipe Lines 20,735 - Oil in Tanks 1,447,970 - Automobiles 195 - Water Well Tank and Compressor 300 TOTAL VALUATION $2,079,750 Motorists Slow In Renewing Licenses Californians are unusually slow this year in filing applications for 1934 license plates.

SCHUMACHER, husband and wife, by Deed of Trust, dated October 10th, 1930, recorded October 14th, 1930, in Book 426, page 215 of Official Records of Orange County, California, and registered October 14th, 1930 as Document No. 11716 on Certificate No. 3712 in the office of the Registrar of said Orange County, California, did grant and convey the property therein and hereinafter described, to the Orange County Title Company, as Trustee, to secure, among other obligations, the payment of one promissory note dated October 10th, 1930, payable to Home Mutual Building and Loan Association or order, for the principal sum of $12,000.00, with interest at the rate of 7.8% per annum, principal and interest due in monthly installments of $150.00 each on the 1st day of each month beginning November 1st, 1930; and WHEREAS, default has occurred in that the installment of principal and interest due on said note on January 1st, 1932, has not been paid; and WHEREAS, Pacific States Savings and Loan Company, owner and holder of said note heretofore demanded that Trustee sell said property and on October 7th, 1933, duly recorded in the office of the County Recorder of said County, in Book 635, page 147 of Official Records thereof, a notice of said default and of its election to cause said property to be sold and more than three months have now elapsed since the recordation of said notice. The sum of $11,039.91 principal less credit from installment share of $5.07, and interest thereon from December 5th, 1931 is now due, owing and unpaid on said note and there is also secured by said Deed of Trust the Trustee's fee and expenses of Lots 15 and 16, the South-westly 125 feet of the North-westerly 113.49 feet of Lot 17 and the Southeasterly 55.51 feet of Lot 14 of Tract No. 964 on a map recorded in Book 31, pages 46 and 47 of Miscellaneous Maps, records of Orange County, California; or so much of said property as shall be necessary to be sold to provide a sum sufficient to pay the total amount secured by said Deed of Trust.

Taylor Executive Secretary-Agricultural Council-of California California, when it launches the vast Central Valley Water Project—greatest of all projects planned under President Roosevelt's multi-billion dollar public works' program—will inaugurate the largest and most significant governmental enterprise in the state's history. It is a project of tremendous possible benefits—for good or evil—dependent largely on the honesty and efficiency of its administration. And California agriculture, which has a great deal at stake on the outcome should immediately take steps not only to capitalize on the farm benefits which may be derived from the great water and power program, but also to insure the intelligent and equitable manage Motorists Slow In Renewing Licenses Californians are unusually slow this year in filing applications for 1934 license plates. Russell Bevans, registrar of the department of motor vehicles estimated that the first four days of the renewal season, which opened January 2nd, showed counter business approximately one-fourth lower than in former years. Bevans does not regard the economic depression as responsible since general conditions are known to be vastly better than a year ago. He thinks it more likely that the condition is merely the result of apathy. The main office in Sacramento is receiving mail applications at the rate of several thousand daily. The time is getting short, Bevans warned, and unless many motorists hurry they are likely to find themselves compelled by law to pay a penalty equal to the amount of their fee. The registrar called attention to the fact that it is unlawful to operate a motor vehicle after January 15th on the highways if an application has not been made for new plates for such vehicle. Transamerica Pays 3 Million Dividend Transamerica Corporation this week resumed regular dividend payments on capital stock when directors authorized a disbursement of 12½ cents a share to be paid January 31 to stock of record January 16. The aggregate amount of the disbursement is $2,960,240 on 23,681,926 outstanding shares. The last dividend on Transamerica stock was 10 cents a share paid July 25, 1931. At that time, Transamerica Corporation and its predecessor, Bancitaly Corporation, had paid cash dividends to stockholders in the total amount of $107,130,000 over the period of their 12 years' existence. "While Transamerica Corporation has definitely resumed the payment of dividend, the board of directors have decided that the time is not yet opportunity to determine whether future dividends should be a quarterly or semi-annual basis," said L. M. Giannini, chairman of the executive committee. "Definite action in that respect must await the assurance of improvement in world-wide conditions." NOW THEREFORE, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the said Orange County Title Company, by virtue of the authority vested in it as Trustee under Said Deed of Trust, will sell at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash, lawful money of the United States, on the 5th day of February, 1934, at the hour of eleven o'clock A.M., of said day, at the North entrance of the Hall of Records in the City of Santa Ana, California, all of the interest conveyed to it by Said Deed of Trust in and to all the following described property situated in the County of Orange, State of California, described as follows: to wit: That portion of Lot Two (2) of "Tract 71" as shown on a Map recorded in Book 10, page 22 of Miscellaneous Maps, records of Orange County, California, described as follows: Beginning at the point of intersection of the South line of Lot One (1) of said Tract 71 extended Westerly and the center line of the California State Highway, as originally laid out and improved; thence North 40° 49' 30" West along said center line 893.48 feet to the true point of beginning of the land hereafter described; thence continuing along said center line North 40° 49' 30" West 250 feet; thence at right angles North-easterly 175 feet; thence at right angles Southeasterly 250 feet; thence at right angles South-westerly 175 feet to the true point of beginning.

PARKER, Secretary. $170,000,000 project, it affords the promise of immediate economic benefits in the employment of many thousands of men and in the stimulation of trade and industry. From this standpoint, it is of far greater magnitude than the San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridge and the Golden Gate bridge rolled into one—and greater than the much-heralded Boulder Canyon Dam development. And to thousands of farmers, if the project is successfully constructed and operated, it will mean an adequate water supply; relief from salt water encroachment; relief from costly litigation between down-stream and upstream water users; relief from winter floods and the possibility of improved navigability of California's two great rivers. There is still the further prospect of a new supply of hydro-electric power, which sponsors of the project claim will result in reduced power rates for both farmers and home-owners, as well as industrialists. California farmers, incidentally, must do their utmost to make this hope a reality and prevent the power. Having counted the possibilities for good, it should also be admitted that selfish political manipulation of the project might make it a costly experiment. California voters have not finished the job; they have merely started. And the federal and state officials charged with administration of the great program should be held to strict accountability by an alert and aggressive citizenship. The pledge that the project will be constructed without burdening the taxpayers must be guaranteed by making the program self-supporting. And the pledge that the new supply of water will be used to save what we have, rather than to bring new lands into production, is equally vital. State Engineer Edward Hyatt, the executive officer of the Water Project Authority which will administer the program, gave assurance during the campaign that "Water will be supplied to lands now planted to trees and crops," with the further assurance that "It is contemplated that no new lands will be brought into production in the near future." If it is to be demonstrated that government can succeed in business, there must be an honest business-like administration of the Central Valley project with these pledges zealously maintained.
