September 9, 1943 Chairman of Supervisors Gives Figures on Federal-Owned County Property appearing Friday before a concessional committee which convened a hearing in Los Angeles, Mrs Warner, chairman of Orion county board of supervisors, presented a detailed report on government-held land in Orange city which has removed the value of $1,253,950 in assessed valuations, from county tax rolls. Chairman Warner's report was taken from data compiled recently by County Assessor James Pierer. It showed that there have been 10 such acquisitions of land in school districts and 13 other levying sub-divisions and that all the federal government has removed $1,253,950 in assessed valuations from the county's tax rolls since the beginning of the war, through acquisition of more than 8831 acres of land for military purposes. These military installations remove choice land from the assessment rolls and add to the burden imposed on the county's districts because improvements on such property cannot be assessed, since federal holdings are tax exempt and therefore yield no revenue. These matters were all placed before the congressional committee which met to study a proposal that the government pay two percent taxes on lands acquired in this state since outbreak of the war. The proposal was under sponsorship of League of California Cities which pointed out that this "token" payment would aid small tax-levying districts in supporting themselves. The tax loss to Orange county totals $28,091.64 according to Maurice Enderle, chief deputy county assessor. He pointed out that the sum while not extreme in itself, nevertheless works a certain hardship by creating a serious reduction in revenue when applied to some of the smaller special districts in the county. The list of government held properties and their valuations which Chairman Warner present- HERMAN A.

These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago Sept. 12, 1918 Today is a busy day in Uncle Sam's domain, for before 9 o'clock tonight thirteen million of his men must register for classification in his military service. All men within his borders who have reached the age of 18 and have not passed their 46th birthday, must sign up at one of the registration offices if they have not registered under a previous call. Nobody is exempt because of race, color or previous condition. It includes natives; foreign born, citizens and aliens. There are only two registration places in this city - the chief of police's office in the old city hall and the high school building. The great lottery will be held in Washington about October 2.

It was known that a conference of the Directors of the bank had been held on Friday, and on Saturday morning, although the bank was closed, as the placard on the door read, on account of the legal holiday (Admission Day), it was rumored that it would not again open its doors for business. Plez James has resigned as president of the bank and has transferred all his property for the benefit of his creditors. Mr. Hiram Mabury, with Mr. James, owns the bulk of the bank's stock, each owning 485 shares out of a thousand issued. Mr. Mabury is abundantly able to pay his share of the losses and there is no reason to believe that depositors will not receive dollar for dollar in the end. Mr. W. S. Bartlett of Tustin has been engaged during the week in straightening out the affairs of the bank and the bank examiners have been telegraphed to come and examine the bank. The Directors of the Orange County Fair association have adopted a very fine program for their races next month.

Murray's most notable races ever held in Diablo, 2.9¼; Keating's Qur Dick 2.9½. This will be one of the Miss Clara Mosseman is in San Francisco purchasing her fall and winter stock of millinery.
