'Limited Participation' Cuts Proposed Sewer Tax Rate in District to 10 Cents After months of negotiation, the board of supervisors of Orange county last week took the longest step so far in providing the county with a long range water program, by forming the three "limited participation" sanitation districts, covering the greater part of the county's agricultural areas. The three are District 2, which extends from Orange to Yorba Linda and includes Anaheim, Garden Grove, Placentia, Brea and the east half of Fullerton, 3, which extends from Talbert to La Habra and includes Westminster, Midway City, Los Alamitos, Stanton, Cypress, Buena Park and the west half of Fullerton, and 7 which includes Tustin, El Modina, Lemon Heights, Panorama Heights and the valley area of the Irvine ranch. Formation of Districts 4 and 9 await hearings to be held August 3. With the formation of the districts the major step toward carrying out the program will be the calling of bond elections in the various districts to finance actual construction. These bonds, like other bonds issued by any political subdivision in the state, will require the approval of two-thirds of the voters at elections called for that purpose. No district election has yet been called and none can be called in time to include bond payments in the coming county tax levy. If and when voters approve of the bond issues, the rate in districts 2 and 7 will be 10 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. In District 3 it will be 12 cents. Under the original county-wide sewerage plan submitted by the board of consulting engineers last July the rate in this district would have begun at 35 cents per $100 of assessed valuation and would have gradually decreased until the bonds were paid. The taxes to be levied in Districts 2, 3 and 7 — if bonds are voted by the electorate — will provide for construction of joint works of the various districts, including trunk lines south of Ellis avenue to the ocean, with a treatment plant and an ocean outfall 7000 feet long instead of the 15,000 line originally recommended; also the purchase of the existing works south of Ellis avenue now owned by the joint outfall sewer group of cities and sanitary districts. In these works all property of each district would participate. Cities, sanitary districts and other Formation of the three last week brings the collective sewerage program acessful stage, regardless outcome in Districts 4 and 9 would have its dependent disposal system District 4 could either own or connect with the districts' works. Neither affects the operation of eight districts, now formed will join in the disposal age through the ocean to the mouth of the Santa Ana. The eight districts now constitutes 89 per cent of and 93 per cent of the population in the original tricts planned. The total original plan is 237,000 of which 211,053 acres are districts now formed. Tricts include 185,900 of 199,850 population (1947) in the original ten district. Portions of Districts 4 expected to be formed Seal Beach is consider dependent action, and Capistrano, in District expected to join a district San Clemente has decided to stay out too, report that the issue he yet closed.

Almost any purchase shows how your dollar has shrunk! But with gas, you still get a pre-war dollar's worth for your dollar! This is because the price of gas didn't skyrocket along with other prices. Gas stayed down and actually costs you less now than in 1939! The low price of gas has been the result of: 1. Selling more gas to more people! New meters are being installed at the rate of 6,500 a month. We're serving 60% more customers than we did 10 years ago. 2. "Keeping on our toes!" The hard work and know-how of every member of our organization have helped step up our efficiency and brought about more economical operation. These two factors have helped offset our rising costs. For our materials and labor are at an all time high. Our taxes, payrolls and even the cost of gas at the field have climbed steadily. Extensions to serve customers in new These two factors have helped offset our rising costs. For our materials and labor are at an all time high. Our taxes, payrolls and even the cost of gas at the field have climbed steadily. Extensions to serve customers in new areas cost us 2½ to 3 times as much as before the war. In addition to this, the 1204-mile Texas-California pipeline required $70,000,000 to build. The next time you receive a gas service bill, say to yourself, "At least GAS hasn't gone up in price. It IS a real bargain!" This economy—plus speed, flexibility and dependability—is why all Southern California uses gas so widely for cooking, water heating, house heating and refrigeration. NOW MORE THAN EVER YOUR HOUSEHOLD BARGAIN IS GAS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS COMPANY Formation of the three districts last week brings the comprehensive sewerage program to a successful stage, regardless of the outcome In Districts 4 and 9. District 9 would have its own independent disposal system, and District 4 could either have its own or connect with the other districts' works. Neither district affects the operation of the other eight districts, now formed, which will join in the disposal of sewerage through the ocean outfall at the mouth of the Santa Ana river. The eight districts now formed, constitutes 89 per cent of the area and 93 per cent of the entire population in the original ten districts planned. The total area of the original plan is 237,463 acres, of which 211,053 acres are in the districts now formed. These districts include 185,900 of the total 199,850 population (1947 estimate) in the original ten districts. Portions of Districts 4 and 9 are expected to be formed, though Seal Beach is considering independent action, and San Juan Capistrano, in District 9, is not expected to join a district plan. San Clemente has tentatively decided to stay out too, but it is report that the issue here is not yet closed. Dana Point, Capistrano Beach and Doheny Palisades are expected to take definite action, all being badly in need of sewerage, and South Laguna Sanitary district has petitioned for inclusion in District 9.
