Baker Speaks At Realty Board Meeting Monday Orange county is seventh in wealth to any other county in the state, but is faced with a water shortage, said County Supervisor James A. Baker in an address to members of the Anaheim Realty Board Monday evening at Dorothy-Wade's restaurant. John Pickard, president of the board, presided during the meeting and introduced the speaker. The approximate assessed valuation of this county is set conservatively at 404 million dollars, said Baker. However there is nearly a quarter million dollars non-taxable real estate in the county. Despite the evident wealth of the county this area boasts, and uses as a drawing card, there is a low tax rate of only $1.00, he added. The scarcity of water in Orange county is the biggest problem opposing present security and further expansion of residential, rural and industrial areas, the speaker continued. Pollution due to septic tank usage in unincorporated towns and districts and the extremely low level, poses a danger as does infiltration of salt water. To alleviate the shortage a realamation project, draining swampy areas around Prado Dam in Santa Ana Canyon with a network of pipe lines below and above the dam, was devised. The program was begun but is awaiting state legislation before further work above the dam may be continued. An estimated 8,000 feet of water is lost there per year now. Also proposed is a dam in Carbon Canyon to be constructed at an Jurgen Siems Last Rites Held Funeral services for Jurgen Siems, 82, Anaheim rancher for 1 years who died Friday afternoon at the home of his son, Ted Siems, 8651 Hansen road, this city, were held at Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars chapel Monday morning at 10 o'clock, with Rev. O. R. Schroeder, former pastor of the local Bethel Baptist church, officiating. A native of Germany, Siems came to the United States 61 years ago, moving directly to Anaheim where he became a rancher. Surviving are four sons, Harry Siems of Pasadena, Charles Siems of Los Angeles, Edward Siems of Berkeley and Ted Siems of Anaheim, and four grandchildren. Interment was in the family plot in the Anaheim cemetery. ‘Norway’ Topic Of Public Forum An illustrated lecture, “Norway — It's Life and People,” was presented by Mrs. Hjordis Kittel Parker on the second program of the Anaheim Public Forum at the high school auditorium last Monday evening. A native of Norway, Mrs. Parker, now a naturalized citizen of the United States, showed colored motion pictures illustrating her lecture on her homeland. Ralph Focht, forum director, introduced her. Purpose of Mrs. Parker's lecture tour was to bring about better international understanding. Focht stated. Although the speaker was educated here she has travelled extensively throughout Norway, Sweden, England, France, Holland, Canada, Guatamala and Panama, and has a good knowledge of the people and customs of the Scandinavian countries.

He touched on the sanitation problem faced by the seven districts, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 11, but added that an adequate supply of water was prerequisite to all other improvements. Since school budgets, under state laws, do not allow inclusion of safety crossing guards at street intersections, county guards will be provided, he said. These workers will come under the retirement fund provided by Orange county. Concluding his talk Baker stressed, "We're a growing county, a prosperous county, but without water, we'll fail." President Pickard introduced Edwin Pendleton of Whittier who is a member of the board in that city, also a member of the Anaheim board for the past two years. This year he served as state director from the Anaheim board at the state convention, October 4 - 7 in San Francisco, as alternate for President Pickard.
