It is true that dams have not been built and flood control and water conservations effected during the past three years but funds are being placed in reserve that time "Pearl Harbor" occurred, war was declared, and all such projects which did not lend themselves to the war effort were discontinued. Tentative plans have been submitted to the supervisors by the Flood Control Engineers covering the following projects in the Third Supervisorial District: Coyote Creek project in the La Habra Valley (rights-of-way have been secured for some of the distance); Page Ave. storm water run-off at Buena Park; Southwest Anaheim storm water runoff; North Placentia storm water runoff, and the Carbon Canyon creek. Baker has been very interested and successful in providing adequate rural fire protection to this district, and has been diligently working for better ambulance service to the north end of Orange County. He was also instrumental in securing an ordinance regulating the labeling of the cubical contents of all fertilizer trucks, and in this way making it possible to break up a racket that was costing ranchers needless thousands of dollars. Roads have been maintained in a very satisfactory manner when one considers the man power shortage in the road department. There are about one-third of the employees in this department compared to three years ago. Baker is very conscious of the water problems of this county, having lived here fifty-two years, and having been a citrus grower since 1916, which makes him a strong advocate of water conservation and flood control. Being civic minded he belongs to a service club, three chambers of commerce, a high school director and to the Citrus Growers Inc., which is an organization for... JAMES A. BAKER and developments of county projects have of necessity been precluded. It is true that dams have not been built and flood control and water conservations effected during the past three years but funds are being placed in reserve to take care of plans that are being studied and arranged by the Board of Supervisors and the engineers of the county for post war activities. One of Baker's first major duties as a supervisor was to make a county business trip to Washington D.C. in regards to the proposed Carbon Canyon Dam and stream channel below. He was assured by Colonel Kelton, Government Engineer of this district at that time, that proceedings would be instituted immediately to make surveys for a location of a dam. Engineering surveys were made, and many test pits were dug. It was discovered that a fault existed where the first test was made, then later, pits were dug near the mouth of the canyon, when about employees in this department compared to three years ago. Baker is very conscious of the water problems of this county, having lived here fifty-two years, and having been a citrus grower since 1916, which makes him a strong advocate of water conservation and flood control. Being civic minded he belongs to a service club, three chambers of commerce, a high school director and to the Citrus Growers Inc., which is an organization for the importation and housing of the Mexican Nationals for the harvesting of the county's citrus crop. The county government has been maintained with all the additional cost of supplies and materials and increased wages, together with liberal reserves set aside for emergencies and post war activities with an 83c tax rate, which is next to the lowest in the state.
