Schools Get Biggest Bite Of Tax Dollar By GEORGE E. HART Who puts the bite on your tax dollar? The county tax dollar, that is. As for your federal tax dollar, they don't bite that. They simply swallow it whole. But an interesting document being distributed to property owners during the present annual assessment period, shows who takes the bites out of the county tax dollar, and just how big a bite each function of government takes. Compiled by the county assessor, Maurice Enderle, it does not include the various city tax levies, but only the county dollar, the collective dollar paid by everybody in the county alike. It gives the taxpayer an idea where his tax bill comes from. In some respects it's quite an eye opener. In fact, an eye popper. More than half of the tax bill comes from the schools, the taxpayer discovers. This is the big bite out of the dollar; 50.9 cents of every dollar in the county-wide budget went to school districts of the county this fiscal year. For residents of incorporated cities the big items of the tax bill are city and school taxes levied by city councils and school boards. The county tax actually is a minority item, although practically everybody gets the impression that the county government is responsible for all of it, because the tax bill comes from the county tax collector. which includes the courthouse offices, excepting those listed among "protection to person and property." General government includes the district attorney's office and the courts, for some reason, while other law enforcement agencies are grouped under protection to person and property. General government gets 4.3 cents of the tax dollar. Next is the grouping called "health, recreation (parks), sanitation, advertising, library, employee retirement," etc., a catch-all group that costs four cents of the dollar. Protection to person and property costs but 3.5 cents of the tax dollar, despite its multiple activities. The group includes the sheriff's office, jail, constables, fire control, lifeguard service, county recorder (property records), radio (police), building inspector, agricultural department and extension service, livestock inspector. That leaves 3.2 cents of the tax dollar, and it goes to the reserve funds. Thus the tax dollar goes down the hatch. How come the assessor's interest in educating the taxpayers as to the facts. It's understandable. Many of them have the erroneous impression that he is responsible for taxes. Study Serious Beach Erosion As Surfside Beach erosion in the Surfside colony area near Sunset Beach has become so serious that the county supervisors may seek a federal-state allocation of funds to repair side Colony would be where the sand for filling in. Three gods have been suggested for erosion there. One wedge extension of the Los Angeles Beach harbor breakwater, or the building of drains, which opposed by the local population and the third plan would reduce tide jetties, reasonable mater now that there has withdrawn from the area. The Orange County Co-association Tuesday presented supervisors a request that vision board be set up to general erosion study of fire 42-mile coastline. The visors are expected to fund such a study in the 51 budget. Santa Fe Instant Safety Device On Local Line In December, 1949, Santa Railway began installation system of automatic traction mechanisms on 75 miles between Santa Ana and San Francisco it was announced today by nans, signal engineer for the pay's coast lines. Winans said 126 ways ductors will be installed, regular passenger locomotives the Los Angeles-San Diego will be equipped with rails and train control relays. The automatic train stop will afford supplementary friction to the Santa Fe's centralized traffic control which has been in operation this territory for a number years. contractors in State Hits High of 58,746 ACRAMENTO (WNS) — The bitterly report of the Contractor State License Board issued by shows a total of 58,746 licensed contractors currently operating in California. Of this total 1,854 received origi-licenses in the January 1, to March 31, 1950, fiscal quarter.

For residents of incorporated cities the big items of the tax bill are city and school taxes levied by city councils and school boards. The county tax actually is a minority item, although practically everybody gets the impression that the county government is responsible for all of it, because the tax bill comes from the county tax collector. Getting back to the county tax dollar, the schools take a shade more than half, leaving 49.1 cents for the other governmental func- tions. The next largest bite is taken by the function listed as “charities and corrections,” which accounts for 17.2 cents. This grouping includes the county hospital, the welfare department and its various benefits, probation department and juvenile home, veterans service center, and the county’s cost for patients in state institutions, other than penal. Third biggest bite comes from the special districts of the county; lighting, library, drainage, fire protection, sanitary, flood control, etc. They use up 10.9 cents of every tax dollar. Highways and bridges get the next bite, an even six cents, and then comes general government. Study Serious Beach Erosion As Surfside Beach erosion in the Surfside colony area near Sunset Beach has become so serious that the county supervisors may seek a federal-state allocation of funds to repair the inroads caused by wave action, blamed upon the navy jetties at Alamitos bay. Any joint project would be shared upon a basis of 50 per cent federal money, the state and county dividing the other half. Two years ago the federal govern-ment spent $250,000 on the beach in that area, to combat erosion. Sand was hauled from inland and nearby Anaheim bay to fill in the eroded areas, which had been shifted as far down the coast as West Newport, where the beach is building up. The chief problem now at Surf- Feather-bedding scheme of fireman on die CONSIDER Fact Finding Boards appointe have said these demands w REJECT Now the Firemen's leaders s to compel the railroads to e fireman to ride on dies Now the Firemen's leaders s to compel the railroads to e fireman to ride on dies LEADERS OF the Firemen's union have called a nationwide strike starting with four great railroads on April 26. These railroads are the New York Central, Pennsylvania, Santa Fe, and Southern. The union claim that a second fireman is needed on grounds of safety is sheer hypocrisy. Safety has been dragged into this dispute only in an unsuccessful effort to give a cloak of respectability to vicious feather-bedding demands. After a careful study of the first demands of this union, a Presidential Fact Finding Board on May 21, 1943, reported to President Roosevelt that there was no need for an extra fireman on diesel locomotives. Again, on September 19, 1949, after a second hearing on the union leaders' demands, a second Board reported to President Truman that: "there presently exists no need for an additional fireman...upon either the ground of safety or that of efficiency and economy of operation." Safety Record of Diesels is Outstandingly Good Although the railroads accepted the Board findings, the union leaders have brazenly rejected them. They represent that an Los Serranos Plans Annual Rancho Ride Historic Los Serranos Golf and Country Club at Chino, former hacienda of Don Antonio Maria Lugo, will again echo the strains of flesta music on April 29 and 30 when horsemen from Anaheim and vicinity are welcomed for Chino's Ride. Owner Clara Bartlett, who recently opened Los Serranos to the public, has hung out the welcome sign to all visiting horsemen and arranged a two-day program of festivity. Chuck wagons will be rolled out, guitars tuned and all facilities of the big club thrown open to the horsemen. Even the club's stables will be available for the visitors' mounts, Mrs. Bartlett said, and every effort made to see that overnight campers have comfortable facilities. Hundreds of horsemen are expected to trailer their horses to the club and camp under the stars in preparation for the day-long Sunday ride to Soquel Canyon. Only priviso the club owner has made is that horsemen respect costly greens and fairways of the big 18-hold golf course and see that mounts do not mar them. The course was recently renovated, groomed and placed in top condition for its public debut. The clubhouse, part of the original home built by early settlers in 1867, will be open throughout the two-day festivities, with evening dancing on both Saturday and Sunday. And for those not making the horseback trek, the club's sporty 18-hole course will FUHS Girl Wins Speech Award Speaking on "The Reaction of American Youth to the McCarthy-Lattimore Situation," Laura Lee Bowie, Fullerton Union high school speech student, was awarded second place in a state-wide forensic contest held recently in Bakersfield. This is the second distinction for Miss Bowie who recently won first place in the Southern California division of the National Forensic League contest, women's extemporaneous speaker division, held at Redlands. County to Get $1,293,711 for Highway Repair SACRAMENTO—Estimated appropriation of $1,293,711 to Orange county from the highway users tax fund and the motor vehicle "in lieu" tax for the next fiscal year was announced today by State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel. From the highway users fund the county will receive $889,566 and from the "in lieu" tax, $404,-145. In a letter to the county board of supervisors, Kuchel pointed out the estimates, although subject to change, may be used in preparation of the county budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1951. Guy Loard, 709 North Sabina, suffered a broken leg Monday when he fell from a makeshift scaffold while painting.

The “Breeches Bible” is the Genevan Bible, published in 1557. It derives its name from the fact that Genesis 3:7 is rendered to the effect that Adam and Eve “sewed figge-tree leaves together and made themselves breeches.” Volume Does It See K. F. Hellyer-Buick’s Astounding Used Car Ad in Today’s Classified Section Using scheme of Firemen's Union to put an additional fireman on diesel locomotives has been considered appointed by Presidents Roosevelt and Truman whose demands were "devoid of merit" and they were rejected TWICE! Men's leaders seek to paralyze railroad transportation by railroads to employ a wholly unnecessary additional ride on diesel locomotives. This scheme is plain men's leaders seek to paralyze railroad transportation railroads to employ a wholly unnecessary additional ride on diesel locomotives. This scheme is plain THER-BEDDING! extra fireman is needed for "safety" reasons. Here's what the Board had to say on that point: "The safety and on-time performance of diesel electric locomotives operated under current rules have been notably good... Upon careful analysis of the data submitted on safety, we have concluded that no valid reasons have been shown as a support for the Brotherhood proposal under which a fireman would be required to be at all times continuously in the cab of road diesels. The proposal must be rejected." The real reason behind these demands is that the union leaders are trying to make jobs where there is no work. In other words, a plain case of "feather-bedding." The railroads have no intention of yielding to these wasteful make-work demands. "The Safety Record of Diesels is Outstandingly Good..." Presidential Fact Finding Board Report Read these excerpts from official reports of Presidential Fact Finding Boards: "The safety record of Diesels is outstandingly good, and it follows that the safety rules now applicable have produced good results." "The safety and on-time performance of Diesel-electric locomotives operated under current rules indicate that Diesel-electric operation has been safer than steam locomotive operation..." Remember! These are not statements of the railroads. They are just a few of the many similar conclusions reached by President Truman's Fact Finding Board which spent months investigating the claims of the union leaders.
