Kate Rea was the speaker at the Kiwanis Club here Tuesday.

A. Gauer addressed the Anaheim Rotary club here last Monday noon. It was explained to the members that the 20 cent increase in the maintenance column of the school taxes was not an increase in the tax figure, but rather a division within the tax itself. The deficit is created by a lowering of daily attendance and also a drop in assessed valuation in the school district. "We obtain our funds from the daily attendance at the schools and based on the assessed valuation of the property. Due to the reduction of the bonded indebtedness, the amount set aside to care for this can be diverted to the maintenance fund and that is what we ask. However, if this measure is defeated, we will find ourselves in the same fix as many other places, that of running into a deficit and necessitating discounting our warrants which works a hardship on the teachers as well as the district," said Gauer. "But, if we receive the support of the voters we will be able to maintain the healthy financial condition which the district has always enjoyed." ANAHEIM O. E. S. Members of Chispa Chapter O. E.
