MERCHANTS HEAR REPORT OF MWD AQUEDUCT WORK BY DON KINSEY General Manager’s Assistant Tells History of Water Supply Project Construction work on all phases of the Metropolitan Water district aqueduct project is now half completed, Don J. Kinsey, assistant to the general manager of the district, told members of the Merchants and Manufacturers association at their breakfast meeting this morning at the Marigold cafe. The speaker outlined the history of the Metropolitan water district from 1922 when the Swing-Johnson bill seeking construction of the Boulder Dam was first introduced into congress up to the present time. He pointed out that it wasn't until the cities of Southern California made a united effort to inform the nation of the water needs in this area that the Swing-Johnson bill was passed. The Boulder dam was the first and key development on Martinet Wins Fishing Championship Maury Martinet, Jr., is wearing a large smile these days. Why? Because Maury holds the fishing championship of the Anaheim city council. He won the title last week in the Huntington Lake area. He caught one fish. Leo Sheridan finished a pretty good second. He got two bites. Charley Mann and Fritz Yungbluth got nothing but mosquito bites. The four city fathers were members of a party which left Anaheim early last Wednesday and returned Sunday. In the absence of his colleagues Charley Pearson ran the city. Water District To Set Tax Rate Tax rate for the Metropolitan Water district for the fiscal year will be established tomorrow (Friday) at a meeting of the board of directors of the district in Los Angeles it has been announced by The speaker outlined the history of the Metropolitan water district from 1922 when the Swing-Johnson bill seeking construction of the Boulder Dam was first introduced into congress up to the present time. He pointed out that it wasn't until the cities of Southern California made a united effort to inform the nation of the water needs in this area that the Swing-Johnson bill was passed. The Boulder dam was the first and key development on the Colorado river, Kinsey declared. Actual construction on the water district project began in December 1933. It is the biggest construction job in the world today, the speaker pointed out. Major sections of the project include the Parker dam on the Colorado river, five pumping plants which will provide means of raising the water to the level necessary to bring it into the coastal plane, tunnels, canals and syphons to carry the water and the power lines. Parker dam will be one of the largest structures of its kind in the world, Kinsey declared. It will store 750,000 acre-feet of water. The main line of the aqueduct will be 242 miles in length and the distributing system will total 170 miles. At the present time $32,000,000 have been spent in payrolls for the aqueduct, the speaker pointed out. In addition $28,000,000 has been spent for equipment and materials, most of which was purchased in Southern California. While not planned as a means of relieving unemployment the project has been an important factor in supplying work to Southern California men, Kinsey declared. George W. Reid, secretary of the association, spoke briefly on the Tournament of Lights to be held Saturday night at Newport Beach. Oscar Renner announced that plans are now being formulated for a Dollar Day to be held in September. Light Tourney Float Is Ready Water District To Set Tax Rate Tax rate for the Metropolitan Water district for the fiscal year will be established tomorrow (Friday) at a meeting of the board of directors of the district in Los Angeles, it has been announced by E. P. Hapgood, Anaheim city engineer and member of the board from this city. Indications are that the rate will be between 38 cents and 40 cents per $100 assessed valuation, Hapgood said. Last year the rate was 20 cents. The increase in the rate is necessary because of more bonds being sold to carry on the work of building of tunnels and aqueducts, the city engineer declared. Following the establishing of the tax rate the city council will decide whether the tax shall be paid from funds on hand or turned over to the county for collection. The latter method will probably be used as in the past, Hapgood said.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1936 GOVERNMENT OF ORANGE COUNTY HOLDS ENVIABLE POSITION IN EFFICIENCY Orange county's leadership in agricultural matters and climatic conditions has a new running mate. It now assumes an enviable position in California and the nation in governmental activities. A study of the new county budget set-up and tax rate, compared with those of other counties, reveals the outstanding position in which taxpayers of Orange county find themselves. Three important factors combine to place Orange county in a top ranking position governmentally. They are: 1. A 62-cent tax rate, the lowest ever put before the people of California, despite a $7,000,000 cut in valuations. That represents a slash of seven cents in the tax rate here, while all the neighboring counties—San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino—are increasing their rates, and Los Angeles county must increase or go broke, as they are already registering warrants against future incomes. 2. Instead of going broke with a lower tax rate, Orange county has cash reserves amounting to nearly $650,000, of which at least $425,000 represents a financial backlog not even considered in proposed expenditures. 3. All this reserve cash, despite greater provision for welfare and employment needs, and plans to Board Accepts Valuation On City Property The Anaheim city council, sitting as a board of equalization, Monday accepted the city tax assessment schedule. The assessments include only non-operative valuations. No claims were presented to the board, it was said. Valuations for the fiscal year 1936-37 are slightly lower than those for the previous year, it was announced. The total for this year is $10,242,865, less exemptions of 0436,095. Net taxable valuations total $9,805,970, as compared with $10,091,200 last year. The entire list is divided into real estate, $4,221,610; improve- BARBEQUE RALLY AT IRVINE PARK OPENS CAMPAIGN OF REPUBLICAN National Central Committee Provides Outstanding Keynote Speaker An outstanding speaker will be sent to Orange county by the Republican National committee to give the keynote address at the Republic barbeque to be held Aug. at Irvine park, it has been announced by Howard Irvine chairman of the County Central committee. The barbecue will start at 1 p.m., it was said. The affair is being staged under the joint sponsorship of Orange County Republican Central committee and the California Republican assembly. The name of the speaker the occasion has not been revealed by national committeem Announcement is expected to made next week. One thousand tickets will sold for the affair at $5 apiece, win declared.

Twelve Anaheim Men at Conclave Several Anaheim members are attending the state convention of American Legion posts in Hollywood this week. Five are delegates, five are alternates and two others have participated as spectators. Delegates who are in attendance are Earl Fulfer, commander of the Anaheim post; James Heffron, broke, as they are already registering warrants against future incomes. 2. Instead of going broke with a lower tax rate, Orange county has cash reserves amounting to nearly $650,000, of which at least $425,000 represents a financial backlog not even considered in proposed expenditures. 3. All this reserve cash, despite greater provision for welfare and employment needs, and plans to increase salaries of county employees in the lower brackets. A curious aspect of the county financial picture is that the supervisors, in guarding the expenditures of county money, have had to watch not the officials but the taxpayers themselves. While the budget shows that the department officials have kept well within their requests, the demands of various groups of citizens for additional service forces eternal vigilance in order to maintain reasonable tax rates, it was said. Rapid return to normalcy is shown in the fact that the present tax delinquency figure is 5.51 per cent. Another outstanding feature is that the county this year will meet more and greater tax obligations than ever, and with less effort than at any other time, it was pointed out. The full burden of the $647,471 county welfare budget for the year will not fall entirely upon county taxpayers. About $416,-500 is anticipated as receipts from state and federal sources. While no salary increases are actually budgeted now, it is pretty generally understood at the courthouse that increases for those in the lower brackets will be arranged some time this year from the savings effected in the budget, it was said.
