MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Should county collect Anaheim's taxes? A couple of days ago the Gazette published an article headed "Change in Tax Routine to Net Saving for City." The first paragraph of the article tells the story: "Transfer of Anaheim tax assessment and collection duties from the city to county officials will save Anaheim some $8000 to $10,000 per year, City Clerk Charles Griffith related (before the City Council) and gave first reading to an ordinance calling lecting the tax on unsecured personal property—that is, personal property not secured by ownership of real estate. The last mentioned tax is still collectible, remember, as Proposition No. 1, which would have abolished such a tax, was soundly beaten Nov. 7. Next we arrive at the question: why should a city maintain a local assessor. The answer, of course, is that The first paragraph of the article tells the story: "Transfer of Anaheim tax assessment and collection duties from the city to county officials will save Anaheim some $8000 to $10,000 per year, City Clerk Charles Griffith related (before the City Council) and gave first reading to an ordinance calling for a change." Contracting with the county government to collect taxes points up a trend among the municipalities of Orange county. The county has long been evaluating property and collecting taxes for Santa Ana, Fullerton and Laguna Beach. Within the last year or two, Brea and La Habra changed to similar arrangement. Recently Huntington Beach joined up. Newport Beach has been toying with the notion for several years. Placentia, too, is understood to be at least mildly interested. Whether any of them will take the step remains to be seen. The circumstance that some of the cities are on one side of the tax fence and some on the other raises the question: what does the city gain on loss by settling the county do its assessing and tax collecting? Also, companion query: why should it want to have its own assessor? One thing that Mr. Davis gains naturally, is the saving in paper, postage, and clerical work of maintaining assessment rolls and getting out tax bills, in addition to the work of the city assessor and tax collector. At the same time, it may gain or lose, as a government, the tax income represented by higher or lower assessed valuations fixed by County Assessor Maurice F. Enderle. In the case of Anaheim, there is virtually no difference in the assessed valuations placed by the city and county assessors upon Anaheim property, so the only effect upon city finances is the saving in cost of doing the job locally. This is estimated at perhaps $8,000 to $10,000 a year. That estimate takes into account the small charge by the county, fixed by law, for computing and collecting the city taxes. The county auditing the tax on unsecured personal property—that is, personal property not secured by ownership of real estate. The last mentioned tax is still collectible, remember, as Proposition No. 1, which would have abolished such a tax, was soundly beaten Nov. 7. Next we arrive at the question: why should a city maintain a local assessor. The answer, of course, is that the county assessor's valuations on property in the city does not permit the city to raise as much taxes as it would like, or perhaps really needs. So the city has its own assessor, and can hike its property valuations high enough to yield the tax revenue desired. Ordinarily the increase in tax levy could be obtained by using the county valuations and simply increasing the city tax rate, which would get the same result, with the county doing the assessing and collecting. But some cities already have their tax rates up to the legal limit and can go no higher. Therefore they have to do it by raising property valuations higher than the county assessor has fixed them. Thus they must have their own assessor. Another factor influencing cities to do their own assessing is the bonding limit. The bonding capacity has a legal limit, related to the total assessed valuation of property in the city. So perhaps a city has already voted bonds up to its legal limit. If it wants to vote more bonds, it must increase its total assessed valuation. Therefore it must have its own assessor. So far as the county is concerned, adding the burden of city assessing and collecting makes virtually no difference in labor or cost. The county already maintains its assessment rolls for all cities, and collects county, school, and other special district taxes in the city anyway, so the addition means little, officials say. So far as the taxpayer is concerned, he gets just one bill instead of two, that one being from the county, so henceforth he blames the county for his city tax troubles: And maybe the one tax bill will be just a little less than the two were, combined. If the change brings property valuation back to its original level. My troops are being sent home and strafed by planes back to the North side of the River," is an accurate phrase of MacArthur's mind. What do you propose about it? MacArthur never got any to this query. The problem involved and other messages was that which has bothered them is French and our other allies—namely, how to win rea without dragging China an all-out war. To have Chinese bases across the river meant such a war was why MacArthur never an answer to his message. China Warned In September First time the question with China came up was the U.S. Ambassador in Loy Henderson, was advised Prime Minister Nehru that would definitely enter the war if U.N. forces cross 38th Parallel. Nehru's intention came from his ambassador Peiping, Sardar Panhiker.

This is estimated at perhaps $8,000 to $10,000 a year. That estimate takes into account the small charge by the county, fixed by law, for computing and collecting the city taxes. The county auditor computes them, the county tax collector collects real estate and secured personal property taxes; the county assessor collects cities, and collects county, school, and other special district taxes in the city anyway, so the addition means little, officials say.

If the change brings property valuations down, the new bill might be quite a bit less. Might as well be optimistic about it. It COULD happen. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago There will be about one hundred squatters on the Lomas de Santiago de Santiago to contest the title to that rancho. The water company has men clearing away the ruins of the old adobe on Centre street. A load of lobsters from Laguna canyon, on the San Joaquin rancho, were brought into town yesterday. Three bands of sheep passed the Parcedo house yesterday on their way to the foothills. The grass in the foothills near Anaheim is three inches high in many places. At the residence of Mr. E. S. Saxton, Nov. 25, 1875, Mr. A. Guy Smith was married to Miss Mary E. Saxton, by Rev. J. M. Allis. An action was brought in Justice Clark's court yesterday by Mrs. Alice Higgins and others to stop the payment of money belonging to Guadalupe Ruiz until he shall settle his just and honest debts. Mr. C. C. Sweetzer crossed the Santa Ana river with his sheep yesterday morning. Mr. E. W. Squires offers some splendid farming land for rent near Orange. The land is a part of the Toles tract and possesses superior advantages. Rev. Father Mutt of Capistrano was in town yesterday. He reports that Messrs. Pyburn and Lobo have returned from Lower California. Rodriguez, the supposed murderer of Coffee Malee had escaped. Capt. George H. Johnson and Marcus Forster came in on the train last night. They left immediately for San Diego. Rain began falling Friday and has since continued temporary intermissions. Writing Wednesday after 1:69 inches has fallen. He has commenced and a wide of grain will be sown. Calhoun emerged from three successive seasons of drought. Never rainfall been so scant as at the three years past. At 6:34 last night the indications good for an all-night downtime. 25 Years Ago Roscoe Young of Ananei elected lieutenant governor of the Eleventh Kiwanis district; the fifth annual convention of California-Nevada district at Diego Saturday.

He will vote his time to raising high cattle. Mr. Weisel has fine record as an attorney county and his friends express him succeed as a rector He expects to move his farm his new home in January. Rev. Dr. Haywood of the Temple Methodist church ded an address at Rubidou week. He was formerly pastor of the Methodist church at side and has many friends WASHINGTON — British and French skepticism over General MacArthur and his risking of an I-out hot war with China has caused attention on some of the fiction, long hushed up, between Washington and Tokyo. This friction was one reason for the president's sudden flight to Wake Island. The president, of course, has ever admitted publicly that there was any difficulty with MacArthur. Furthermore, MacArthur has been almost obsocious in conferring with Washington, and only once or twice has he been hurt or abrupt. Once, however, or about October 12, when instructed not to bomb bases on Chinese soil, he sent back a very rough cable loaded with bitterness. "My troops are being bombed and strafed by planes based on the North side of the Yalu River," is an accurate paraphrase of MacArthur's message. What do you propose I do about it? MacArthur never got an answer to this query. The problem involved in this and other messages was exactly at which has bothered the Brit. of the 38th Parallel; and later, on October 4, the U.N. passed a resolution giving the green light to the full use of MacArthur's army. 40-Mile Neutrality Zone However, the State Department, foreseeing trouble when the U.N. army approached the Yalu river and the big power dams which supply electricity to most of Manchuria, worked out a plan whereby MacArthur was to halt his troops in the mountains of North Korea about 40 miles from the Manchurian border. This was one of the matters agreed upon by MacArthur and Truman during the Wake Island conference. Difference No. 2 arose from this situation. MacArthur believed his own reports so implicitly that he asked Washington's permission to send South Korean troops into the so-called neutrality zone on more or less military police duty, and on the basis that no red troops of any importance were in the area. Then when the South Koreans got into trouble with the enemy, he asked Washington's permission to send American troops into the neutrality zone to rescue them. This was how the 40-mile buffer zone agreed upon at Wake Island evaporated. It is always the policy of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to abide by the during the best driving conditions it is scarcely worth a plugged dime. Slow speeds, extreme caution and no passing should be the driver's credo in heavy fog. It is no use to get impatient, no use to get mad. These foggy spells, just like Tom Dewey, are apt to be around for a long time, and we must make the best of them. ARTHUR GODFREY told one on his radio show the other day which bears repeating. He said if socialized medicine should ever be instituted in the U.S., it would work like this: The patient reports to the medical center and says that he is sick and needs attention. The receptionist asks him, "Is your complaint chronic or acute?" He says it is chronic, and she points down the hall where there are two doors, one labelled "chronic," the other "acute." He goes through the proper door where another attendant directs him down another hall to a door marked "male." Inside this office, a nurse asks, "Are you a Republican or a Democrat?" He says he's a Republican. Down another corridor he goes where there are still two more doors, one marked "Republican," KOREAN Continued from of his offensive as made other reference.

What do you propose I do about it? MacArthur never got an answer to this query. The problem involved in this other messages was exactly what has bothered the Brits, French and our other U. N. allies—namely, how to win in Korea without dragging China into all-out war. To have bombed Chinese bases across the Yalu River meant such a war—which was why MacArthur never got an answer to his message. China Warned In September First time the question of war with China came up was when U. S. Ambassador in India, Roy Henderson, was advised by Prime Minister Nehru that China would definitely enter the Korean war if U. N. forces crossed the 3rd Parallel. Nehru's information came from his ambassador in Beijing, Sardar Panhiker. As a compromise, Washington, October 1, OK'd the use of South Korean troops only north of 50 Years Ago Otto Strodthoff returned on Monday morning from San Francisco, after an absence of 10 days. He had a very pleasant stay in the metropolis, meeting numerous friends and seeing all the sights. He will remain here until the latter part of the month and will then return to Jerome to take up the activities of life in Arizona again. Mizzy Davis arrived in town on Tuesday from San Francisco, and will remain a couple of days, calling on old-time friends and swapping yards of the old lang syne. He went to Manila with the First California regiment at the outbreak of the Spanish war and spent two years in the islands. Travels for a wholesale tobacco farm and well remembers when used to go bathing in the main pool with the boys. Rain began falling Friday night and has since continued with duty, and on the basis that no red troops of any importance were in the area. Then when the South Koreans got into trouble with the enemy, he asked Washington's permission to send American troops into the neutrality zone to rescue them. This was how the 40-mile buffer zone agreed upon at Wake Island evaporated. It is always the policy of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to abide by the judgment of the field commander, and in each case they deferred to MacArthur's judgment. In each case also, MacArthur was careful to ask permission from Washington before he advanced into a restricted area. As a result, MacArthur permitted light U. S. columns to strike north toward the Manchurian border on October 25. These columns included the 1st Cavalry, 24th Infantry and Marine Units. The tactic was to reach the border swiftly in order to permit a quick announcement that the war was over. Chinese Retaliate However, these units penetrating almost to the Chinese border, became so overextended and were so light in strength, that Chinese communists, popping out of the hills and crossing the Yalu river, cut them to pieces. This was exactly what the State Department and our French-British allies had feared. On October 30, MacArthur's spokesman for the first time admitted the presence of Chinese troops in heavy strength. Actually, they had been in North Korea for about 10 days, and Washington now interprets MacArthur's sudden statement that three Chinese divisions had invaded North Kora with Soviet tanks, self-propelled guns, bazookas and mine-layers as propaganda to cover up a bad military blunder.

Zoning Ordinance Continued from Page 1 buffer strip on the north side of South st., was decreed by planners as protection for the Jefferson school. Councilmen voted 4-1 to allow Planning Commission recommendations on the extension of the light industrial area. Dissenting vote was cast by Oscar Heying. One of the changes passed on to the planning commissioners by Councilmen incorporates in the ordinance a provision to subject to review the application of any light manufacturer to put up shop in the H-2 vineyard tract bounded by Water and South st., and Olive st., and the Santa Fe tracks. The Vineyard tract lies within the proposed light manufacturing extension. It is bounded on the south by the multiple family buffer strip. Purpose of the change, councilmen indicated, was to give further protection to the Jefferson school. Per the change, council and Planning Commission will screen all light industrial applications for the area in order to prohibit location of any which, though classified as light manufacturing, might be objectionable too close to the school.

TODAY'S CROSS-WORD PUZZLE Oblong Views FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER (The Poor Man's Drew Pearson) IF THIS COUNTRY drops an A-bomb in Korea, the world will take its third step backward to the Dark Ages. The first step was at Hiroshima . . . the second at Nagasaki. HERE IS AN interesting little piece of news from yesterday's Los Angeles Times: "William V. O'Connor, Los Angeles attorney and former assistant general counsel for the U. S. Treasury Department, will be appointed Assistant Attorney General of California when Edmund G. Brown, Attorney General-elect, takes office in January, Brown announced yesterday. 'O'Connor directed Brown's successful campaign for the Attorney Generalship in Southern California." Ah! That's what I like to see. Sterling non-partisanship in political appointments! DID YOU READ about the woman who tried to pass a truck in the fog over near Puente the other night causing a wreck which piled up traffic for five miles? According to Highway Patrolmen, visibility was limited to 50 feet when she tried to go around the truck. Of course, another car smacked into her coming from the opposite direction. You don't need to go that far away to observe fog-happy drivers. You can see them right here in Anaheim, and out on Manslaughter Boulevard during fog your life isn't worth a plugged nickel. On the same highway... KOREAN WAR Continued from Page 1 of his offensive as Oct. 20, and made other references to October. He thus appeared to regard the "end the war" assault, which he announced Nov. 24, as simply a part of the general winter offensive. MacArthur indicated he did not have full knowledge of Chinese red strength before launching his offensive. He noted that "air reconnaissance across the border (of Manchuria) is prohibited" by his instructions from the U.N. and he said the limited sphere of action caused by his lack of authority to cross the border kept him from preventing the forward movement of Chinese communist troops under cover of darkness and rugged terrain. MacArthur said the communists can make good progress against U.N. forces despite their lack of air power because of the "limitations" on his freedom of action and because the reds have "a sanctuary of neutrality immediately behind the battle area."

"Attendance is off anywhere from 10 to 15 per cent in television areas. Business is off only two to four per cent in areas without television. So we know where to put the blame." TOYKO (UP)—General MacArthur's top intelligence officer said today the United Nations situation in Korea is not desperate and implied the atomic bomb is not needed to stem the Chinese red tide. Maj. Gen. Charles Willoughby reported the Allied line in the critical northwest is being stabilized. The U.S. Eighth Army retreated to this shortened line extending inland from the Yellow Sea after its severe setback by the Chinese in the past week. Eighth Army sources expected strong new red attacks on that front Friday night or Saturday. A spokesman said enemy strength was building up south of the Chongchon river. Wave after wave of U. S. Fifth Air Force fighter-bombers lashed at the Chinese buildup south of the frozen stream. In the northeast—Across the peninsula's mountainous spine—United Nations forces were reported making a fighting retreat southward on both sides of the big Changjin Reservoir. The retreating U.N. forces on the northwest took positions on a line 30 miles north of the former red capital, Pyongyang. An officer said prisoners indicated the Chinese, possibly under the command of red Gen. Lin Piao, were trying to drive the Allies back below the 38th Parallel—100 air miles south of the present northwest line. What distinguishes the forest resource from most other natural resources—such as coal—is its ability to grow new stands of timber as old ones are cut. SATURDAY A. M. 7:00 A. M.
