City Clerk Releases Comparison Figures for City During 3 Years A detailed comparison of city revenues and expenditures during the last three fiscal years was released yesterday by City Clerk Charles E. Griffith. The report reveals an increase in both revenue and expenditures during the period. Only the city's general fund is included in the survey. Revenues for the fiscal year 1935-36 totalled $315,319.85. During the preceding fiscal year the total was $290,127.09 and for the year 1933-34 it was $129,091.61. The largest single source of income was the public service department, which during the past year received $248,389.43. Light revenue was $139,626.66, power $44,970.39 and water $63,792.38. Expenditures for the past fiscal year totalled $297,490.84 as compared with $265,432.84 in 1934-35 and $272,646.90 in 1933-34. Included in the expenditures for the past year were items classified as capital expenses and included $5,827.69 for La Palma park, $7,350 for water mains and $1,300 for new garage. These funds have not been expended; it was declared. Also included in the capital expenditures was $7,250 for a new street sweeper. General government expenses totalled $31,822.70, including capital and operating costs. Expenditures in the public service department amounted to $114,615.68, of which $22,050.27 was for capital costs. Maintenance of the police and fire departments cost a total of $37,630.52, of which $26,371.38 was for the police department and linquents in the public service department. Delinquent taxes for 1935-36 were $17,097.58, for 1934-35 they were $21,382.39 and for 1933-34 they were $22,487.41. Public service delinquents for the same years in the same order are $2,673.42, $2,687.43 and $4,971.81. A sharp reduction in the total of outstanding bonds was noted in the survey. At the end of 1935-36 bonds outstanding amounted to $524,737.50 as compared with $549,525.00 the previous year and $574,487.50 in 1933-34. The tax levy for this year was more than $10,000 less than the previous year, $88,134.38 being required for 1935-36 and $98,363.25 the year before. In 1933-34 the levy was $100,667.77. The tax rate for the past year was .145 for the general fund, .135 for the library and .52 for bond redemption and interest, making a total of .80 cents. Capital assets for 1935-36 were listed as $1,887,547.90. The previous year they were $1,859,172.86 and the year before that $1,775,-139.24. Budget appropriations for 1935-36 toalled $302,829.20 of which $297,490.84 was actually spent, the report said. Local Girl to Take Part, Beach Comedy Miss Josephine Shanks, who was educated in the St. Joseph Academy, this city, will have one of the leading roles in the comedy play, "The Warrior's Husband," being presented by the Laguna Beach Theater Guild given under General government expenses totalled $31,822.70, including capital and operating costs. Expenditures in the public service department amounted to $114,615.68, of which $22,050.27 was for capital costs. Maintenance of the police and fire departments cost a total of $37,630.52, of which $26,371.38 was for the police department and $11,259.14 for the fire department. A comparison of the operating surplus for the three years shows that in 1935-36 the surplus was $17,839.01, in 1934-35 it was $24,-784.25 and in 1933-34 it was $6,444.71. Approximate available cash in the general fund has shown an increase during the past three years. The total, with encumbered cash deducted from the cash in the fund, was $116,489.48 as compared with $101,325.04 last year and $64,395.95 the previous year. Delinquent taxes have shown a steady decrease in the same period of time as has the number of decharges. Local Girl to Take Part, Beach Comedy Miss Josephine Shanks, who was educated in the St. Joseph Academy, this city, will have one of the leading roles in the comedy play, "The Warrior's Husband," being presented by the Laguna Beach Theater Guild, given under the auspices of the P.

This question has been raised frequently, but all doubts in the matter are set at rest by County Clerk Joe Backs, who knows election laws forward and backward. Orange county has several candidates who are filed in both parties. Two of the leading ones are Sam Collins, rep., and Ray Adkinson, dem., who are candidates on both tickets. If Adkinson should win the nomination on the republican ticket he could not be the candidate unless he also won on the democratic ticket. It would be possible for each to win the opposing nomination, but not his own, in which event the name of neither would appear on the ballot in the November election. The only nominee would then be the democrat who stood second highest in the party's primary. The same situation might otain in respect to some other fixtures for which candidates are fined on both tickets.

As it happens that one candidate is serving a sentence in the Orange county jail. STRIKE LEADS POLITICS In general there is not much politics floating around the county this week. The office-seekers have had to take a second-row position in the publicity parade, with the citrus pickers' strike occupying first position. It is even hard to hear many rumors. One item that appears interesting concerns the state senate race, in which it was thought the coastline interests might consolidate behind Dr. Huston. It now appears that such solidity of support is not likely. It becomes plainer that the regular republican support and the "courthouse gang" are pretty solid behind McFadden. On the other hand, it becomes evident that there is considerable opposition to him among other republicans. The church interest is rather leary of Tom, but as yet it does not appear whether any drive against him is to be organized.

The seat sale for the "world's greatest baseball game" are moving as fast as Jesse Owens doing the 100 yard dash, according to Spauldings and the Southern California Music Company stores. The game is a "break" for visiting Elks, who cannot get inside moving picture studios to gaze upon the stars. The Wrigley Field classic Saturday afternoon will give their lamps a feast of some fifty famous stars. New Ship Built In Long Beach By Edward Ward The Long Beach Press Telegram of Thursday has the following to say about a new all-metal monoplane and its designer, Edward G. Ward. Mr. Ward formerly resided in Anaheim with his wife and small son, and was connected with the oil industry. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald E. Ward of Fontana, well known in this state and Mexico. He has many friends who are delighted to hear of his good fortune and hope the plane will be an unqualified success. An all-metal monoplane, the first plans for which were drawn on the back of an envelope by Edward G. Ward and Malte Swensson in Highland Park two years ago, is receiving its finishing touches and soon will make its initial flight here. The plane was constructed in a hangar at the local airport. With a plane that would be reasonable to operate in mind, Ward and Swensson drew up the first plans. Several engineers from California Institute of Technology assisted later in designing the ship. It is a convertible model, is to average 17 miles per gallon of gasoline, cruise at 138 miles an hour and have a flying radius of 700 miles, all when fully loaded. Wind braking, which consists adjustable flaps at the base owing, runs across the entire length of the wing. The flaps can adjusted at various degrees of distance, thus controlling the ing distance and landing speed the ship. The plane can be changed into an open to a closed model whis is in the air or only one side the cockpit coverage can opened. The tail surfaces are constructed that the plane is likely to go into spins, the deers believe. An aluminum cover the ship, being made aluminum covered with a corrosive material. Men from Cal-Tech who assisted are Dr. Arthur Kleid C. Rockefeller, Carlos Wood Milford Childers, James A. lips is business manager. The plane is streamlined will be sold at moderate when production starts, the signers said. THAR'S GOLD IN THE THAR HILLS A captain of police in a state city, who gets $200 a salary, drew the spot light it was said he has accumulated $800,000. port is not likely. It becomes plainer that the regular republican support and the "courthouse gang" are pretty solid behind McFadden. On the other hand, it becomes evident that there is considerable opposition to him among other republicans. The church interest is rather leary of Tom, but as yet it does not appear whether any drive against him is to be organized. Little is heard in Santa Ana of the supervisorial race, and so far as it comes to the attention of newspapers, no great amount of active campaigning is yet being done in the Third district. In the congressional race the most interesting item is the belief that Townsend strength is being strongly mobilized to promote Sheppard for the democratic nomination. Townsendites who are registered republican are being urged to change (yesterday was the last day) so as to vote in the democratic primary for this particular candidate. SINGLETONS Public attention, outside of those directly interested in either side, has been more strongly directed toward the strike situation this week. In every locality persons can be heard asking, "Why don't they get together and settle it?" Not all of the comment is unfavorable to the actual strikers. Some think the growers and packers should take more definite steps to avoid further trouble. Violence much more serious than anything that has yet occurred is feared. Public interest in the payment of about $6,000 in outstanding bills against the Orange county flood control district is but slight. However, the peculiar workings of the so-called legal and official mind might attract more attention than they do. This week the district attorney ruled that no claim for work done outside the county flood control office can be allowed. Yet with the definite approval of the district attorney, as well as the supervisors themselves, every one of these claims was allowed last fall and ordered paid. The newspapers have spent some money to learn that they are badly burned, and are now wondering whether anybody else is going to try to collect. The expectation that Uncle Sam was going to settle the county's flood control problem by building the Prado dam itself went boom with the announcement from the army engineering department that no money to start the project is available, and that the whole thing will have to go over until after the next congress meets. Meanwhile, the Tri-county conservation association has decided to go ahead with more spreading works in the upper Santa Ana.
