Orange County Tax Assessment Below Average Slight Gain Noted Over 1940 Assessment; San Diego County Leads According to a compilation by the State Board of Equalization recently released, covering taxation of propriety owners in this state, it is shown that for the 1940-41 tax year an average of $4.18 per $100 was paid. In 1940 the average assessment amounted to $4.12 per $100, giving a 6-cent raise for the current year. In comparison to this state-wide average, the average rate of county, city, school district and other special or general taxes in Orange county amounted to $3.59 per $100 assessed valuation last year. In the summary of county ratings it is shown that Alpine county headed the list for low, the rate for that district being $1.45. San Diego county headed the list with a rating of $5.29. Fred E. Stewart, Oakland member of the Board, explains that it was necessary for the board to determine the average rate of local taxation in order to adopt a rate to be applied annually to the rolling stock of car companies whose holdings are taxable under the private car tax act of 1937, the taxation rate been gestablished at $3.80 per $100. Telephone Co. Launches Project For Defense Aid Our Territorial Outposts ALASKA: A Land of Gold and Fur, Becomes A Land of Guns and Men ALASKA—Uncle Sam's vast domain on the north extremity of the North American continent, long consigned only for its potential wealth sources; the bone of content among the various political divisions of government administration; considered at the time of purchase in as a useless acquirement and an item of expense; is coming into its own as a useful member of the union, providing a vital link in the chain of national defense. With an allocation of $90,000,-000 to be used primarily for the establishment of defense units along the 2,500 miles of shore line that extends from Annette island in Southeastern Alaska, to isolated Attu island at the extreme tip of the Aleutian islands group, and including an airbase unit at Fairbanks in the interior, the northland presents a defense barrier that will be hard for an invader with unfriendly design upon the peace of the nation to penetrate, whether from the East or elsewhere. NAVAL BASES In establishing naval bases the planners of this defense sector choose wisely and well. First in the chain of these bases is the one established at Sitka, the old Russian capital and for a time that of the territory. Here is being expended nearly $4,000,000 in building a naval airbase and repair station. It is a strategic location, offering a close cruising cooperation with defense units of the Pacific coast. Next to be considered is the naval and airbase at Kodiak, on near Juneau; and at Yakutsk miles northwest of Sitka. Somewhere within this operation will be establish huge gas and bomb storage; the construction of which will have a million dollars. Of strategic value for other fuel supplies is the Kodiak oil section, located northwesterly Kodiak island on the main section was exploited two decades ago by the lead companies of the nation. Their findings were not divulged, but sufficient to say all piping in the test hole left there and capped, indicating that something more than prospect had been discovered an addition to this tentative supply are the wells located Katella, near the mouth Copper river. These wells been in operation for over years, producing a minority of oil of good grade. Point Barrow, the extreme west of Alaska, the government ago withdrew from publication 20,000 square miles of that had oil indications. Localities have given signs production. Restrictions have been upon visitors to these operations, none but autos persons being permitted... Telephone Co. Launches Project For Defense Aid Launching a new project in its fast-moving program to aid in national defense, provide flexible emergency service and handle growing traffic, the Southern California Telephone company started work this week on a new desert long distance line, involving an expenditures of more than $200,000, according to R. J. Rossberg, telephone company manager. This undertaking, covering construction of a pole line along an 88-mile route from Yermo to Cadiz, both in San Bernardino county, and the stringing of additional wires from Cadiz to Danby, is in addition to three other larger long distance schedules previously announced and will provide twenty-four talking circuits. The other long distance jobs are construction of an underground toll route between Santa Ana and Del Mar at a cost of $1,000,000, the placing of an underground cable between Los Angeles and Newhall at a cost of $326,000 and the building of new facilities between Newhall and Yermo, including a pole line and repeater stations, at an expenditure of $716,000. The Newhall-Yermo route is included in a $1,360,000 enterprise embracing construction to Salt Lake City. Rossberg said that the Yermo-Cadiz toll line will provide a cross-connection between the Newhall-Salt Lake City lead now under construction and the Los Angeles-Kingman lead and thus will add to several existing routes, provide an alternate route into Los Angeles, and give greater assurance of service continuity through making possible a flexible plan of emergency circuit arrangements. Work on the new job will be pushed through the summer to make possible the use of the additional facilities at an early date. The manager reported rapid progress on the other great long distance lines. First in the chain of these bases is the one established at Sitka, the old Russian capital and for a time that of the territory. Here is being expended nearly $4,000,000 in building a naval airbase and repair station. It is a strategic location, offering a close cruising cooperation with defense units of the Pacific coast. Next to be considered is the naval and airbase at Kodiak, on Kodiak island. Here is being expended nearly $15,000,000. When completed, in the not distant future, this unit of the chain will be its strongest link, affording air and sea craft all the facilities offered either by the Atlantic or Pacific coast navy yards. Slightly southwest of the Sitka location and but a little more than 1,000 miles distant, it, too, is a coordinating unit of defense. Still further to the west, about 750 miles distant from Kodiak, is Dutch Harbor (Unalaska) where also is located a similar base of about the same dimension as the one at Sitka. With this trio of naval units closely patrolling the North Pacific, supported by air forces, it is doubtful if an invading sea force could effectually penetrate to the northwest limits of the union for the purpose of doing damage. Attu island, the western extremity of the Aleutian group., affords an excellent site for an observation post and should present plans be carried out one will be established there. Alarmists have pointed out that it is but 600 miles to this lonely place from Paramoshiri, the powerful Japanese naval and airbase, and but 1,700 miles to Dutch Harbor. In this day of speed, both on sea and in the air, it is doubtful if an Eastern invasion could be effectively carried out for such an invasion would have to have a supporting convoy of supplies. A submarine flotilla would prevent such an undertaking. Other sites being considered as suitable bases are: Mendenhall, When debts get you dizzy- NEWPORT STATE GUARD Mustering in of the recently organized Newport unit of the California state guard will take place next Monday at the harbor city. For drilling purposes the baseball grounds of the Union high school will be used, 4000-watt lamps being installed for illumination purposes for evening drill. The age limit for those intending joining the guard has been lowered to 18 years; the maximum still remains at 64. SWIMMING RACES SUNDAY Sponsored by the Newport Harbor junior and senior chambers of commerce and swimming clubs, the first annual SPA A. U. championship open swimming meets starts at 2 o'clock July 27 on the bay front, Newport-Balboa. Six senior races, three for men and three for women, are programmed.

Of strategic value for oil and other fuel supplies is the Kanatak section, located northwest ofodiak island on the mainland. This section was exploited some decades ago by the leading oil companies of the nation. What their findings were has not been vulged, but sufficient to say that piping in the test holes were at there and capped, indicating that something more than a mere prospect had been discovered. As addition to this tentative oil supply are the wells located at Betella, near the mouth of the upper river. These wells have been in operation for the past 30 years, producing a minor quantity of oil of good grade. Near Point Barrow, the extreme north of Alaska, the government years withdrew from public land 20,000 square miles of land that had oil indications. Other realities have given signs of oil production.
