Forms Available For Registration Specimen forms for alien registration are now available at the Anaheim post office, it was announced yesterday by Postmaster L. H. Hoskins, and may be taken home and filled in in advance of the opening date for registration which has been set as August 17. Because of the length of the form, it is advisable for all aliens to obtain one of the blanks in advance, so that all questions may be completely answered before the alien returns to the post office to swear to or affirm the statements made and be fingerprinted, Hoskins said. The Alien Registration act of 1940 required all aliens to register during the official registration period, August 27 to December 26, this year. All aliens 14 years of age or over must be fingerprinted as a part of registration. Children under 14 years must be registered by their parents or guardians.

The completion of the original plan of reconstruction on section two of the joint outfall sewer was accomplished and two new ferrous chloride stations were constructed to facilitate sewage treatment. 2. An agreement with the state highway division in the amount of $11,050 for general maintenance and a balance of $11,127.06 to be accumulated for programming at a later date was entered into. 3. La Verne street was extended from Palm street to Citron street at a width of 60 feet, trees were planted along the parkways and water mains laid to accommodate the new subdivision located adjacent. 4. Water mains, under Works Progress administration, were installed on East Center street between Olive and Bush streets and on Valencia street between Philadelphia and Olive streets as part of the program necessary to receive Metropolitan water supply and in order to afford better fire protection and service by the system. Tax Rate Reduced 5. The city council reduced the tax rate for the fiscal year 1939-40 from 75 cents per $100 assessed valuation to 73 cents. "It was a real accomplishment in view of all the expense of building a park, sewer system expense, water main extensions, as well as continuing the high standard of services to the taxpayers," the report stated. Important pieces of legislation Costa Mesa of today is the unfolding of a dream of the late Stephen Townsend who was one of the important characters in the building of Pasadena and Long Beach. Thirty years ago Stephen Townsend believed that Costa Mesa above Newport bay was destined to be the site of one of the future great cities of the Pacific coast. His keen foresight showed him its great possibilities and he backed up his faith by purchasing a large tract of land and laying out the first acreage subdivisions in what is now the main part of Costa Mesa. Townsend visualized the creation of a fine harbor in Newport bay, stretching four miles inland along the east and south shores of the level tableland upon which Costa Mesa is situated, and the business and commerce that would result. He developed a water supply, planted orchards and proved that the soil and climatic conditions were ideal for all agricultural purposes that have made Southern California famous. Since the World War this community has grown rapidly and substantially. A fine type of people are locating in Costa Mesa and this is credited with being one of the fastest growing areas in Orange county. Specialized forms of agriculture, producing fruits of all kinds, garden truck, berries, flower blubs, nursery stock, are carried on in the community. Also poultry and rabbits are raised successfully on a commercial scale, and as sidelines; and there is a bird farm that is interesting and profitable. There are, perhaps more farmsteds in Costa Mesa than any other place in the county, and Future Farmer and 4-H club work is a decided feature. Formerly the greatest apple growing area of Southern California, Costa Mesa now is extending gradually to citrus, including the largest limes grown in the state. Costa Mesa has a very efficient school system. This includes a union high school for the harbor area, located here, with an enrollment of 600, of which two-thirds are from Costa Mesa families. A fine grammar school and two elementary schools complete the system. A new $20,000 class room building is being added this summer to the high school group. One of the big things, resulting from local Future Farmer of City Associated Chambers of Commerce. Prior to Costa Mesa be established there was a extension from Santa Ana Newport pier, the only tradition inlet. With the railroad abandoned, there is now right-of-way extending to Costa Mesa's center. The ing converted into a distinct stretch through the edge one of the community's most civic leaders, W. Carl Speer idea is, eventually, to let entire stretch beautified. Costa Mesa advanced onto a postal city of the second and is now looking forward new home for the postoffice time this fall, and also mail delivery.

"It was a real accomplishment in view of all the expense of building a park, sewer system expense, water main extensions, as well as continuing the high standard of services to the taxpayers," the report stated. Important pieces of legislation adopted during the year included the rewriting of the public service ordinance; writing of the ordinance regulating sale and discharge of certain types of fireworks; passage of the new low tax rate; and a new ordinance prescribing regulations and procedure in addition to that required by state law relative to real estate subdivisions. One Life Saved In regards civic protection, the report stated that the police department had made 457 arrests during the year, the majority of which were for drunk and drunk driving. The fire department answered 43 fire calls, of which 15 were structures and 13 motors, and the inhalator was used five times, with success obtained in one case. Expenditures for social and community welfare were lower last year than during the previous fiscal year, accomplished primarily because of fewer families aided. Expenditures last year were $231.04, as compared to $414.01 for 1938-39, while 90 families were aided last year as compared to 110 the year before.
