ORANGE COUNTY WEEKLY WATCHTOWER A Compilation of Observation and Comment by and for the Weekly Newspapers of the County: Huntington Beach News Costa Mesa Globe South Coast News Placentia Courier La Habra Star Newport Beach News Westminster Gazette Buena Park News Anahiem Gazette Tustin News Garden Grove News Coastline Dispatch Vorba Linda Star Seal Beach Post Brea Progress FLOOD CONTROL JACKPOT There is a feeling more or less freely expressed around the county, including Santa Ana, that the board of supervisors and the flood control department have let the big flood control project get itself badly messed up, and that there is danger the whole project may be lost because conflicting opinions and conflicting selfish interests cannot be brought into a compromise agreement. The question revolves around the proposition of the necessity of issuing $2,500,000 in bonds, or $3,500,000, in order to secure the federal appropriation of $13,000,000 with which the U.S. army engineers are to construct the projects. Chairman Willard Smith stands on the ground that the larger figure must be voted, because it is the only figure definitely set up anywhere in the government records as representing the amount of money necessary for Orange county to provide. He and his fellow-believers maintain that to vote a less amount might lose the whole deal for the county, because the federal department might refer to the original omnibus act itself, which sets up $3,-500,000 as the estimated amount necessary, and declare that in voting loss the county had not met control department had been instructed to prepare plans for other work to use up whatever part of a $3,500,000 bond issue was not actually used to meet government demands. This has given the county authorities the appearance of having tried to put something over. This writer does not believe they have, but the appearance cannot be denied. And there rests the jackpot. The point raised is the one on which the board has made itself vulnerable. Unless this point can be properly cleaned up, and the other differences of opinion composed, there seems a good chance that the whole deal will be lost. REPUBLICANISM It is a long time until the elections of 1938, but some republicans of long standing started thinking about them immediately the 1936 ballots had been counted and the results made known. They are concerned with what is to be done in a party way, with respect to state and district matters. Some of them have discussed the matter quietly. In Orange county the question of organized republican leadership is brought up. Howard Irwin, who has been county central committee chairman, was appointed is the only figure definitely set up anywhere in the government records as representing the amount of money necessary for Orange county to provide. He and his fellow-believers maintain that to vote a less amount might lose the whole deal for the county, because the federal department might refer to the original omission act itself, which sets up $3,500,000 as the estimated amount necessary, and declare that in voting less the county had not met the requirements. Supervisor West and his followers declare they have assurances enough from federal authorities that the $2,500,000 would meet the requirements. If this were the only angle to the controversy it might not be so hard to settle. But during the past couple of weeks it has come out in meetings that the flood PACIFIC GREYHOUND Announces THE APPOINTMENT OF C. O.

DEPOT: 217 S. Los Angeles St. Phone 3404 TWO SIDES Some county officers complain that in the competitive attempt to produce the most sensational news the daily newspaper reporters frequently get only the side of the story which makes the best yarn. One of them is reported to have asked a reporter why he didn't come and get the straight of the story from both sides, and was told that kind of a story, would be too dull to be news. The chief defense of the newspaper is the fact that if it isn't exciting the public won't read it. Better to see a distorted picture than no picture at all. Yes?
