Public Utilities Assessments Are Made by Board Resulting from assessments made by the State Board of Equalization, public utility properties valued in excess of a billion dollars will be added to local tax rolls throughout California. The state-assessed property, subject to the same tax rates as property valued by local assessors, will yield current city, county, and district revenues of more than forty-five million dollars. Tangible property in Orange county assessed by the State Board of Equalization last year and this year compares as follows: In 1945, $16,879,970; in 1946, $17,468,970. To equalize any of these assessments, board chairman R. E. Collins of Redding, the board members, William G. Bonelli of Los Angeles, George R. Reilly of San Francisco, and James H. Quinn of Oakland will be in session until August 19, when the rolls will be certified to the county auditors for computation of the taxes to be paid locally. A. G. Mott, director of the board's valuation division, in comparing the assessments just completed with those of a year ago, points to an increase of $45,494,-610 in tangible property, the largest increase that has taken place in a year since these properties were first assessed by the board in 1935. This would give the counties, cities and other tax districts throughout the state an additional revenue of about $1,800,-000, based upon last year's tax rates, above the taxes paid by utilities last year of approximately $43,000,000.

Public Utilities assessments Are made by Board From Service to 'Civies', Salaries Play Salamander It really happened. A cataclysmic description of a drastic reversal in rank and financial status involving four of his former "buddies" overseas was revealed by Donald Britton, ex-navy man, formerly with the armed forces radio service. "On a hot and humid night in the Marshalls everyone would be restless because of the heat. In exactly one half-hour before "lights-out," the fellows would gather around to listen to their local armed forces radio station." "It is now 9:30 p.m. at WXLE, Eniwetok, on the road to Tokyo," the radio would squawk. "Stand by while your armed forces radio station presents "Sack Rat Serenade." "Then would follow a show that was very sentimental, returning the listeners' minds back for a few minutes via music and commentary to the life they had enjoyed in the states." Britton reminisced. This show was written by Cpl. Hal Kantor. WXLE was staffed by four men, the officer in charge, Jack Wormser, Lt., U.S.A.; Byron Palmer, Staff Sgt., U.S.A., and Sherman McFredles, private first class, U. S. A. "When the war ended, the gang at WXLE went back into civilian life," Britton continued. The PFC, Sherman McFredles, took over vice-presidency of the Union Oil company. Hal Kantor, the corporal, wrote Danny Kaye's radio show and Ann Southern's "Masie" radio script and now has contracts to compose Don Amche's new winter variety show to be sponsored by Proctor and Gamble. Byron Palmer, staff sergeant, is now starring in the stage play. County Budget is Adopted by Board; Taxes are Upped Orange county's budget for the fiscal year of 1946-47 was adopted by the board of supervisors last Tuesday, when they cut it by only $100,000 to $8,746,454, and rejected all but a minor part of the Orange County Farm Bureau's tax committee recommendations. A tax rate of $1.28, five cents less than originally proposed, will probably suffice to finance the budget. A cut of $300,000 from its total, which would lower the tax rate by 12 cents, was recommended by the tax committee of the farm bureau in a lengthy outline of the budget. Of all the recommendations the bureau asked through President A. J. Shutte of Anaheim; Chairman Charles W. Musser, Garden Grove, of the tax committee; Committeeman Charles C. Briscoe and Executive Secretary C. J. Marks, the only item eliminated was the $100,000 central heating plant for the Orange County hospital. The committee's recommendation that the $50,000 for a new county library building to be eliminated for this year was also declined by the supervisors. The board approved the committee's recommendations for upward estimates of income from outside sources by $14,000, but in this respect did not change all items the tax committee proposed. Suggested by Musser's group was that the $23,000 income to the county jail for care of federal prisoners be raised to $35,000 in view of the last fiscal year's income of $34,660 from this source; that the building inspector office be opened at home on Bloomfield rd. L. H. Clawson Opens Office L. H. Clawson Company announces the opening of an A. H. Heim branch office at 142 N Center street. Frank C. Mott New Castle, Penn., is the general manager of the rock-wool lining service here, with M. Ash of Los Angeles.

Hal Kantor, the corporal, wrote Danny Kaye's radio show and Ann Southern's "Masle" radio script and now has contracts to compose Don Amche's new winter variety show to be sponsored by Proctor and Gamble. Byron Palmer, staff sergeant, is now starring in the stage play, "Wizard of Oz," at the Greek theater. "But," said Britton, "Lt. Jack Wormser is still working for the armed forces radio service in a civilian capacity. Yep," he remarked, "the income of our old gang at WXLE has completely reversed!" New Deer Hunting Reports Issued By National Club Reports pertaining to the deer season arrived in the form of a release from the National Automobile club yesterday, saying that in general, bucks are plentiful and the fawn crop is good throughout the state. The Big Antelope mountains are reported to contain many fair-sized bucks, west of Eagle lake; and in White Horse and Hole, in Rock area of Lassen county. The bucks are said to be plentiful and in good shape in Mendocino county, of the Round Valley and Covelo areas. Nearly all of Napa county is posted against hunting, but prospects for club hunters there are good. Hunting will be very limited on Maricopa road of Ventura county and on the western slope of Pine mountain where a forest closure is in force. The bucks in Monterey county are still in velvet and not too plentiful as yet, while Lake county reports a normal outlook with all bucks reported to be in top condition. Al's Re-Opens After Vacation Al's cafe at 213 E. Center street, re-opened last Thursday after a 10-day lay-off for vacation.

Suggested by Musser's group was that the $23,000 income to the county jail for care of federal prisoners be raised to $35,000 in view of the last fiscal year's income of $34,669 from this source; that the building inspector's office expenditures be revised downward and income boosted above the 10 per cent estimated gain, and that the welfare department budget be revised "to closer relationship with the 1945-46 fiscal year budget." A great concern was expressed by the tax committeemen over the rapidly expanding health department budget, which it claims increased 110 per cent in the last 10 years and for which an increase of $145,096 was asked this year. The total outlays would be made 810 per cent higher than 10 years ago by this, although there was only a population rise in that period of 40 per cent. The budgets of both the agricultural commissioner's office and the county assessor was also asked to be halved; but the supervisors rejected all but the hospital's heating plant and the demand for increasing anticipated income from county jail maintenance of federal prisoners. Hearings with the department heads concerning the items, and careful consideration by the board, was said to have occurred by Chairman Willis Warner. "A dark cloud of taxation is hovering over the people yet to pay for World War II", said Musser. Briscoe asked for a "realistic budget", saying that "the average property owner feels alarm over the constant search of taring agencies for new sources of revenue." Chairman Warner, in defense of the budget, said that he had talked with many supervisors from other California counties while in Sacramento. The local boost proposed was only 50 cents more than the 83-cent rate, and Warner claimed that other counties had increased tax rates from 75 cents to $1 and even higher.

Center street, re-opened last Thursday after a 10-day lay-off for vacation. Don Ramella, Al’s congenial employee, took the “Mrs.” to Palm Springs for a few days, but the intense heat drove them straight back to their residence in Anaheim. He spent the remainder of his vacation “working in the garden” and mowing the lawn. He now occupies the greater part of his working hours exhibiting the muscles he developed during this project! Owner Al Brunet took off for his summer home at Balboa, where he and Mrs. Brunet are still doing little more than swimming and fishing. Al, incidentally, hooked a 25-pound albacore and returned to the cafe several times this week “to make certain that Don knows all about it!” The Brunets are expected to return on August 31. Six to Attend Youth Confab Six teenagers, members of Anaheim’s Teen Canteen, will attend the Youth Center Activities of southern California convention at Santa Barbara this Saturday; Richard Glover, canteen director, disclosed. Local delegates to the annual event include June Sexton, Shirley Beneke, Jean Kahle, Jack Greger, Douglas French and Lorraine Montijo. Mr. and Mrs. Glovar will accompany the group. The conference was staged in Anaheim last year. The average daily requirements of adults for Vitamin A is about 300 to 4500 International units. “Ike” Waltons Find Shark, No Galley Dap Pannier copped the first angling prize with a 22 pound albacore during the regular sport-craft fishing trip off Port Lido, Newport Beach, enjoyed by 22 members of the Anaheim Izaac Walton league last Tuesday. Clyde Bush took the second prize with a 211-2 pound albacore. “The Recapture”, was out of commission so the group embarked on her sister ship, “Challenger”. For “Old” Roquet and Ross Kopfer’s benefit, “they say”, there was no galley girl. Five albacore and 10 skip jack were caught during the angling expedition. A 36-pound blue fin (shark) was hooked by Kopfer, assistant skipper and chief fish spotter. It was finally shot with a 80-30 rifle since its hide was too tough to gaff. Holes were blown in the water, playing "hide-and-go-seek" with another 200 or 300-pound shark. According to their fellow anglers the highlight of the day was the fact that Roquet and Kopfer fished all day (no galley girl).
