To Transfer Moffett Field Air Corps Training Center Establish General Headquarters Building Near Santa Ana Municipal Bowl; Entire Personnel Be Housed In New Structure Of deep interest to this section of Orange county was the announcement made last Saturday that the West Coast Air Corps Training Center at Moffett Field would in the near future be transferred to Santa Ana, with a general headquarters building being erected near the municipal bowl at an estimated cost of a quarter million dollars. Major Gen. Barton K. Yount, commanding officer of the training center, was the authority for the announcement. The training center has a large coverage, directing army air corps activities in 11 western states, as well as parts of four others, and includes 22 aviation cadet training schools under its direction. Within the next few months construction work will begin on the headquarters building, 192 feet by 144 feet in dimensions and two stories high. The ground plot will have a frontage of 616 feet. According to announcement of Maj. Gen. Yount, the West Coast Air Corps Training Center, originally intended to train 2000 cadets a year, has been expanded to carry one-third of the new quota of 30,000 pilots a year demanded by the air corps. The transfer will involve movement of 280 administrative officers and enlisted men to Santa Ana, Major Gen. Yount said. The new headquarters at Santa Ana will control, among its many functions, elementary training bases at San Diego, Hemet, Ontario. Rev.

Auto Row Raided; Losses Confined To Single Firm School District Property Values Trend Southward Millions Represented In Valuations of Orange County School Property According to assessment statistics covering school districts of Orange county, released last week-end by County Auditor Leslie H. Eckel, the valuation trend is noticeably moving to the southern portion of the county. The new valuation statistics giving the county as a whole a slight advance of $49,978., show that Northern Orange county generally dropped away on valuations, with the south coast districts making decided gains. Twenty-one of the 43 school districts in the county showed increases. Of these, only three, Anaheim, Lowell Joint and Magnolia, were in the north. Orange, El Modena and Silverado in the central belt, made negligible gains. Six of the advancing districts were in the west: Alamitos, Buena Park, Garden Grove, Laurel, Seal Beach and Westminster. The remaining nine districts, including Santa Ana, are distinctly in the south. It was in these districts that the largest gains were J. C.

At Cone Brothers, 215 N. Los Angeles St., a small amount of money had been taken from the cash register; this, combined with the loss of car radios, spotlights and other accessories, brought the estimated loss to well over $200. Chase & Redmond, 306 No. Los Angeles St., as well as Middleton Motors, 235 No. Los Angeles St., had also been called upon, presumedly by the same person or persons. A checkup of these premises showed nothing had been taken, although the offices presented the same strewn effect as did the Cone establishment.

Please turn to page 2 Salary Question Cause of Debate Supervisors Squabble Over Raises Asked; Ordinance Must Be Amended A request for a raise in salaries over the prevailing rate precipitated something of a squabble at the board of supervisors' meeting last Tuesday. The opening tilt arose when A. A. Beard, highway superintendent and acting chief of the flood control district, requested a $55 monthly raise for J. A. Bradley and his elevation to assistant engineer of the flood control district. Bradley, at present hydraulic engineer, receives a salary of $220 a month. Beard's suggestion brought a protest from Supervisor N. E. West, Laguna Beach, who held that the proposed increase was too much of a jump. He was willing to compromise on a $250 salary. Wordy debate passed between the chief and board member, assuming at time a serious aspect. On vote West's suggestion was defeated, 4 to 1. Another request from Beard, covering a $40 a month raise for Harold Sprenger, assistant in the road department, also drew a protest from West. While supervisors tentatively agreed on the Sprenger increase, no decisive action was taken. West's proposal that a committee be named to overhaul the recently salary law received no support. As matters now stand the salary law must be amended to conform to any proposed salary changes.
