Howard C. Cameron, unopposed for justice of the peace in Santa Ana township, only class A justice court in the county, will be paid $225 a month. Present salary of Justice Kenneth Morrison, not a candidate for reelection because lie is campaigning for superior court judge, is $157.50. Justices' salaries formerly ranged downward from $157.50 to $25 a month, resulting in a low pay for some of the busiest judges in the county. County Profits "We found one case," said Z.

Stanley Reinhaus and Horace Head, Santa Ana attorneys, were other members of the bar association committee who received a vote of thanks from the county board for their work on the justices' salary schedule. Salary changes will take effect next Jan. 1, when the new terms of office begin. Constables' salaries were not considered officially by the bar association committee, but were subjects of unofficial recommendations which the county board adopted.

Publication The city of Anaheim and its superintendent of parks, Rudolph Boysen, came in for nation-wide publicity last week when the August number of The Reader's Digest reached subscribers and readers. The popular publication carried a short article condensed from previous articles in the Market Growers' Journal and the American Fruit Grover which dealt with the now widely-popular Boy-senberry. The Reader's Digest article, in full follows: "Some years ago Rudolph Boysen, superintendent of parks at Anaheim, California, began cross-polinizing blackberry blossoms with raspberry and loganberry pollen, and the Boysenberry, which is rapidly gaining popularity, is the result. Its flavor is superior to any of the brambles, the fruit runs approximately one inch through and more than one and one-half inches long, vines bear prolifically. The first of the new fruit was distributed in 1932 to the nurseries, and they have been propagating from the original stock ever since to keep up with the demand for plants." While a large percentage of Anaheim residents undoubtedly knew the Boysenberry was originated by the city's park superintendent, only a few outsiders possessed the knowledge. The article in The Reader's Digest is believed to be the first time that national recognition of Boysen's discovery has been made, with the exception of various trade publications. Gas Theft Brings Sentence in Jail Attempt to evade paying for 10 gallons of gasoline landed a Los Angeles man in the county jail for 30 days this week. Two other youths were arrested at the same time but the cases against them were dismissed. Charles R.

Allen signed an order directing County Clerk B. J. Smith to omit Schuurman's name from the August 30 primary ballot. Schuurman had filed nomination papers for the office and had apparently qualified as a candidate. After the nomination period was closed, however, it was discovered that Schuurman holds no licenses as a registered land surveyor or civil engineer. To qualify as surveyor if elected, he would have to have one of those qualifications—and without them he was not a proper candidate for office. Schuurman himself asked that his name be withdrawn. Affidavit Filed The county clerk had no authority to omit a name from the ballot, however, unless something was wrong with the nomination papers. Such was not the case. Therefore, Nat Neff, former county highway superintendent, who opposes Incumbent W. K. Hillyard for the surveyor's office, signed an affidavit setting forth the fact Schuurman was not qualified. Judge Allen signed the order and Smith can eliminate the Buena Park man's name. A second candidate also has withdrawn from the primary race, R. R. McDonald, Anaheim resident who had filed for county recorder, announced yesterday he would not seek election. Press of personal business was given as the reason for his withdrawal. Pair Sentenced on Petty Theft Charge Mayor Johnson Speaks to Townsend Club Anaheim Townsend club members and friends heard a stirring campaign address by Mayor C. T. Johnson, republican and Townsend party candidate for congressman, at the club's regular meeting last Thursday evening. Johnson, mayor of San Bernardino and chosen as the republican party's candidate at a convention held this spring, has been given the support of Townsend members throughout the district. He will oppose Congressman Harry R. Sheppard, who was given Townsend support at the last election. The speaker was outspoken in his criticism of the district's present representative, although Johnson did not mention Sheppard's name. He charged the congressman with opposing rather than aiding the Townsend movement. Supervisor Harry D. Riley also spoke during the meeting, telling of the present status and future plans of the Orange county flood control project. Visitors Injured As Autos Collide Two elderly Los Angeles women, visitors in Anaheim, were injured in an automobile accident last evening about 5:30 o'clock in front of 309 S.

In addition to meeting the unexpected flood expenditures, the city invested approximately $46,000 in capital improvements during the past fiscal year which was not budgeted. The city was able to make these expenditures out of a surplus which has been built up over a period of years, and acquired in spite of the fact that the city tax rate has been reduced one dollar since 1910. At the close of the fiscal year the city had a bank balance of $135,563.51, of which $89,598.46 was in the general fund.

The supervisors have requested an allotment from the state's $5,000,000 flood relief fund, a fund which was set by a bill introduced in the special session of the legislature this spring by Assemblyman Thomas H. Kuchel. Set Up Fund Last Friday the supervisors transferred $100,000 from the unguarded reserve fund to the general fund to be used in some case of the program. What that case will be is not yet known. Meanwhile a WPA project for free repair was returned to the ward for signing, but it is doubtful if the signature will be forthcoming as the project requires the county to put up $436,817 as its fare. Such a sum, if no state funds were forthcoming, would be impossible to raise from this year's taxation and might necessitate a land issue. Signing of the project was held when Flood Control Engineer M. Thompson said it would be difficult to find the 179 men needed for the WPA project, and it also was pointed out the county is not money for the sponsor's care. Illeged Vagrant to Have Trial by Jury Agreement is Reached With State for Use of Gas Tax Allotment City of Anaheim Tuesday evening signed an agreement with the state of California relative to use of gasoline funds and thereby opened the way for extensive maintenance work on streets of major importance within the city. Principal work to be done under the agreement, according to City Engineer E. P. Hapgood, includes finishing the grade on La Palma avenue, West and Citron streets and oiling these streets. It also includes oiling of South West street and patch work on Broadway and Palm street. Other Work Planned Additional street work, not included as part of the work to be done with gas tax funds, was also authorized by the council. It is planned to try a light oil treatment on uncoiled portions of alleys and streets in an effort to lay dust until the winter rains begin. Two resolutions pertaining to section two of the joint outfall sewer were also adopted by the council. The first authorized the purchase of a ferrous chloride plant to be located at the West Fullerton pumping plant. The cost is approximately $3150. The second approved and authorized the mayor and clerk to sign an agreement with the county of Orange for disposal of sewage from the county hospital. The county will pay $100 a month to the district, of which Anaheim will receive $16.42. The agreement is retroactive to last January 1. Audit Received The annual audit of the city's books was received and filed. The Anaheim Golf association requested the council to include pitching and putting greens at the new La Palma park. The matter was referred to the public improvement committee. The chamber of commerce's budget of $2730 was presented to the council and referred to the finance committee. A petition from nearly all electrical appliance dealers of the city requesting the city assume the Electric Home and Farm Authority purchase plan was taken under advisement. Expenditures during the fiscal year amounted to $485,470.71, with the general fund accounting for about 75 percent, or $382,917.85. Other expenditures were for library, acquisition and improvement districts, special gas tax, liquor enforcement, street improvement, in lieu tax and bond and interest funds. Only funds showing larger expenditures than appropriations were general and library. All other funds are fixed charges. From the general fund were taken expenditures for sanitation and streets, protection, recreation, state highways, public utilities and miscellaneous. Revenues $433,494 Revenues for the fiscal year totalled $433,494.71, slightly more than $8400 less than estimated at the start of the year. As with expenditures, revenues for all funds except general and library were the same as estimated. The library provided larger receipts than anticipated. Accounts within the general fund varied considerably from estimations. The largest decreases were in license and state money funds and receipts from oranges. Partially balancing these items were increased in the public service and park sales subdivisions. General fund revenue is derived from taxes, licenses, fines and penalties, public utilities and miscellaneous. Activities Listed Payment on bonds accounted for 68.8 percent of the 70-cent tax rate during the past fiscal year. Library fund required 18.6 percent, while the general fund required 12.6 percent. In addition to the financial condition of the city at the close of the fiscal year the report listed departmental activities for the entire year and also told of the outstanding accomplishments of the year. These accomplishments, as listed by Miss Miller, are: "The city of Anaheim operated during the past fiscal year without any increase in the tax rate... 70c per $100 valuation. Considering that in 1910 our tax rate was $1.70 low rate represents a remarkable record of efficient economy."
