IN THE DAYS OF I Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Anaheim, Calif., Nov. 22, 1934 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 6, 1884 The biennial effort to disincorporate the town of Anaheim is now being made and a meeting has been called to allow the people to give expression to their wishes in the matter. If those citizens who pay the bulk of the taxes want disincorporation let them have it. It is a long step backward, but that is no argument with the men who have been heretofore most prominent in advocacy of disincoporation. The taxes which are yearly paid into the treasury of the town an not squandered or stolen. They are expended for the benefit of the municipality. When there are no longer any funds which can be used for necessary repairs and improvements the town will retrograde to what it used to be. When a bridge is wanted or a ditch must be dug or a street changed or any of the hundred and one things constantly springing up the matter will have to be referred to Mr. Supervisor Ross of Santa Ana, before anything can be done—then perhaps the benefit of having a local board attend to these matters will be more apparent than it is now. Everything must be paid for, you cannot get something for nothing. The question to be decided in this matter is whether the citizen of Anaheim derives commensurate benefits for the taxes he pays. We repeat, if the men who pay the taxes want the town disincorporated, no obstacle will be thrown in their way. It should be borne in mind, however, that it was once disincorporated and that there must have been potent and weighty reasons for re-incorporating it. A phenomenally high tide at Anaheim Landing on Wednesday encroached upon the city lots at that resort, and sloshed around in such a numerous and vicious way that had it occurred in the summer season, the campers would not have stood upon the order of their going, but would have gone at once. The house of J. W. Landell was wrecked, and the house of B. Dreyfus was also imminent peril of demolition.

A phenomenally high tide at Anaheim Landing on Wednesday encroached upon the city lots at that resort, and sloshed around in such a numerous and vicious way that had it occurred in the summer season, the campers would not have stood upon the order of their going, but would have gone at once. The house of J. W. Landell was wrecked, and the house of B. Dreyfus was also in imminent peril of demolition. The stranded schooner Barbara Allen was lifted up and now stands in close proximity to Captain Wilson's kitchen. Altogether it was a high, old tide. The Anaheim oil wells are beginning to assert themselves. The Snow well, which is now 325 feet deep, is yielding six barrels of oil per day. That pipe line to Anaheim may yet be built. Another mining location has been filed by B. Chandler and J. W. Snow, known as the Snow Petroleum, mining claim, situated in North Anaheim and comprising the west half of the southwest quarter and north half of the northeast quarter of section 8, township 3 south, range 9 west, S. B. M., containing 60 acres. The young ladies of Anaheim and vicinity will give a Leap Year party at Kroeger's hall on the evening of the 30th inst., being compelled to choose that date because the hall has been rented for the night of the 31st. The most successful parties given here have been managed by the ladies, and their last grand opportunity (for four years) will be improved to the utmost. Tickets including supper cost $1.50. Anaheim Lodge No. 85 A. O. U. W. on Friday last elected the following officers: Master workman, J. S. Gardiner; foreman, F. S. Wallace; overseer, S. A. Dennis; recorder, T. S. Grimshaw; financier, C.

The lodge has fifty-two active members and is in a flourishing condition. The fire fiend carried the war into Africa on Wednesday evening. It is the custom to keep a lamp burning nights in the room of the Town Hall where is stationed the apparatus of the fire department. The lamp was lighted as usual on Wednesday evening and was apparently in good order. About 8 o'clock a bright light was noticed in the room, the lamp was found to have exploded with its contents blazing upon the floor. The flames were quickly extinguished. At the municipal election in Los Angeles on last Monday 3806 votes were polled. The following gentlemen were elected: Mayor, E. F. Spence, 514 majority; city attorney, J. W. McKinley; city assessor, John Fischer; tax collector, H.S . Parcels; treasurer, J. C. Kays. The tax collector and treasurer are democrats, and the other officers elect are republicans.

On Sunday night last Ricardo Robles was stabbed in the back by Jose Maria Aguilar. The knife blade, nearly a foot in length penetrated the lung caused an ugly and dangerous wound. Robles, after lying in the ditch for several hours was found, taken to his home and attended by Dr. Bullard. Aguilar was arrested and placed under two thousand dollar bonds to await the result of Robles wounds. An unique musical entertainment was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. James S. Rice in Tustin on Monday evening. A large company composed of the elite of Tustin society and delegations from Santa Ana, Orange and Anaheim was pleasantly entertained with a programme of vocal and instrumental music and recitations, presented in the artistic manner for which the host and hostess are noted. It is stated in eastern papers that the pomegranate is becoming a favorite fruit in the cities, and that there is quite a demand for them. The fruit grows to perfection here, will stand shipment and its culture should be considered by those who are now debating as to the kind of fruit to plant the coming season. At the annual communication of Anaheim Lodge No. 207 F. and A. M. held on Monday evening last, T. S. Grimshaw was elected Master. T. L. Gannon, Senior Warden, Richard Krebs, Junior Warden, F. A.

Leonard to Fred Eichler, slaughter house and five acres of land, house and lot on Los Angeles street. Consideration $2,500. Dr. Bailey to Miss Cushing, house and lot, $750. A great deal of wheat will be sown this year in the county. We hear of an up-country farmer who has transferred his plows and stock to the San Joaquin ranch and will put in three thousand acres of wheat. May drought nor rust affect it not. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only zens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 2, 1909 California state and county taxes increased this year nearly $4,000,000, as compared with last year. This fact is made clear from the reports of fifty-eight county auditors which have just been completed by State Comptroller Nye. The amounts of taxes charged up for state and county purposes in 1908 and 1909 compare as follows: For state purposes—In 1908, $7,960,935.84; in 1909, $8,879,813.29. For county purposes—In 1908, $24,201,-805.21; in 1909, $27,132,863.68. Totals for state and county taxes—In 1908, $32,162,741.05; in 1909, $36,012,676.97, increase this year over last year, $3,849,935.92, percentage of increase 11.9. The taxpayers in this part of the state who have paid their taxes have already found out that their bills were higher than last year, and the comptroller's figures are only a sort of mournful confirmation of a piece of sad news. For this privilege of paying more taxes we are largely indebted to the state board of equalization and we shall not forget their raise for some time. Chispa Chapter No. 151, O. E.

Progress Made In Helping Crippled Children’s Cases President of Association for Orange County Makes Annual Report Activities of the Crippled Children's Relieve association of Orange county are reviewed for the year in the report of President E. S. Morrow, made public recently. The report follows: Annual Report of President Crippled Children's Relief Association of Orange Co., Inc. Friends and Fellow Members: "During the year 1934 we have had a severe epidemic of infantile paralysis in Orange county, with a total of 69 cases, 25 of which are adults. The cases where adults have affected are mostly among the county hospital employees and seem to be very severe. While no cases resulting from the epidemic have yet been brought to us for attention, a donation of $60.00 was made by the association in May to the county health department to be used in the purchasing of blood for serum purposes from persons who have had infantile paralysis. In addition, several of our patients have donated their own blood for this use. Only time will tell what the result of this epidemic will be in future demands upon our association, but it is to be expected that additional care and expense may be required." Great improvement has been shown in the case of one of our patients receiving special treatment at the Berry Institute at Van Nuys.

City Clerk Merritt is the busiest man in town. Monday was the last day for payment of city taxes, and in addition to his many other duties, he was kept busy taking in dinero and looking pleasant. City Clerk Merritt is the hardest worked and poorest paid official in the city government, and for efficiency stands at the head of the list. S.

"Our annual Christmas program, sponsored by the Anaheim Lions club, was held at the Elks club in Anaheim. A splendid Christmas program was presented for the children, and each child was remembered with a gift. The success of these programs is added to a great extent by the work of our members and the teachers who bring a great number of the children to the club house for the party. "Handicapped children of school age are being cared for by competent teachers, and our association receives cooperation from school authorities. Orthopedic work is being taken care of at the county hospital by Doctor Farnsworth of Long Beach. "Our association has joined with the Salvation Army and Ruth Home in a campaign for funds at Santa Ana for the year 1935. Considering financial conditions, the response of the public to our plea for funds has been fairly good; however, though the drive is still on, it looks as though we may fall short of our goal. "Our accomplishments are made possible by the efforts and friendly cooperation of our members and directors, and I wish to express my sincere appreciation to them for the work done in 1934."
