THE GAZETTE IS EQUIPPED AND MANNED TO PRODUCE Fine Job Printing 259 East Center Street VOL. LXVIII County’s Salary Ordinance Again Dispute Subject Supervisors Will Appeal To Attorney General For Aid in Matter Orange county's ordinance fixing salaries of county officials, for several months past the subject of much official discussion, crashed into the headlines of county newspapers again this week when it was revealed that the board of supervisors will ask Attorney General U. S. Webb to enter the case. The ordinance has been under fire since last fall because of the provisions relative to fees received by several elected county officials. The supervisors are now attempting to learn whether the ordinance is constitutional. County officials against whom the action is directed in particular are Sheriff Logan Jackson, Treasurer T. E. Stephenson, Coroner Earl Abbey, Recorder Fred Sidebottom and Health Officer Dr. K. H. Sutherland. No Need for Aid Decision to appeal to Attorney General-Webb for aid came when District Attorney W. F. Menton informed the board in a letter that Preliminaries of Speech Contest Being Held Today First preliminaries for the annual Toastmasters club speech contest for high school students of southern California are being held this afternoon at Anaheim union high school.

Stephenson, Coroner Earl Abbey, Recorder Fred Sidebottom and Health Officer Dr. K. H. Sutherland. No Need for Aid Decision to appeal to Attorney General Webb for aid came when District Attorney W. F. Menton informed the board in a letter that he felt there is no need for the county to hire outside counsel to test the case. Some of the supervisors are desirious of retaining a San Diego attorney to assist in the prosecution. District Attorney Menton has already prepared a mandamus suit to file against Sheriff Jackson, it is reported. In his statement Menton wrote, "It is not my intention to request the board to employ special counsel and consequently the board will have no legal right to employ special counsel and make such a charge against the county... I have been directed by the board of supervisors to bring appropriate action to determine the question involved. That action is ready to file and I intend to proceed along that line." Supervisor John Mitchell contends that a two-third majority of the board may hire outside counsel.

L.C. Herron and Glen Merrill were nominated as delegates, with Fred Backs and August Schu-macher nominated as alternates. Youths Held for Automobile Theft Stephenson, present county treasurer, is regarded as one of the most able historians of Orange county. He has been a resident of the county since 1884, was postmaster at Santa Ana between 1923 and 1935 and heads the Orange County Historical society. Stephenson related that Don Juan Forster, a native of England, came to this country in 1830 when about 16 years of age. Population at that time consisted mostly of Indians and Spaniards. A few years later Forster married into the Pio Pico family and soon became a large land holder, his property extending over much of present Orange county. The chief industry in Southern California at that time was cattle, the speaker said. Herds of beef were driven to Salt Lake City and other important western centers to be placed on the market. Man of Vision Forster was a man of vision and foresaw the coming of American settlers and the developments which followed. He was a close friend of Major Max Stroebel, noted figure in the early history of Anaheim, and together they planned to colonize Santa Catalina Island. Stroebel was sent to England to raise funds, but died there. In 1882 Forster's life came to an end. The southern California boom started shortly before Forster's death and new towns sprang up all over Orange county. The boom was short lived, however, and times of intense hardness followed. Stephenson also told of the start of the Valencia industry in the decade between 1890 and 1900 and sketched the development of the county since that time. Nominations for delegates to the international convention at San Francisco were opened Tuesday and will be continued next week. L.C. Herron and Glen Merrill were nominated as delegates, with Fred Backs and August Schu-macher nominated as alternates.
