Farmers to Study School Election Proposals, Costs Orange county farmers will take part in a meeting to be held in San Bernardino Aug. 14 at which representatives of the farm bureau in five southernmost counties of the state will discuss school costs and school proposals on the fall ballot. Although much of the meeting will be devoted to establishing the opposition of farm bureau to writing into the constitution of California provisions for school financing which, they feel, should be left to the legislature through enabling actions, some time is also to be devoted to school construction costs. On this phase, according to farm bureau secretary, C. J. Marks, there will be a presentation of the low cost school construction program as proven by the Santa Ana board of education. Subdivision Study Also to be presented by the Orange county group is a study of the effect of tract-type subdivisions upon agricultural areas and possible remedial legislation. Studies have indicated that such subdivisions immediately load the existing agricultural areas with an extra tax of about $100 per pupil. The meeting is one of a series of nine being held by the Farm Bureau federation throughout California in the several regional divisions of the organization. Data is being presented by Dr. Ken W. Williams. Studies have indicated that such subdivisions immediately load the existing agricultural areas with an extra tax of about $100 per pupil. The meeting is one of a series of nine being held by the Farm Bureau federation throughout California in the several regional divisions of the organization. Data is being presented by Dr. Von T. Ellsworth, research director of the state farm bureau, and by O. W. Killerup, legislative representative. In their opposition to the proposal of the California Teachers Association to provide for large increases in school financing through the state government, the farm bureau calls attention to their long support of adequate school financing, but also sticks with their previous position that the provision is not a proper one to be "frozen into" the state constitution and thus made inelastic. Realtor Tangles With Council On Annexation A proposed 20 acre annexation at the southeast corner of Eulid and Crescent avenues was referred by the Anaheim city council to the planning commission last night. Jess Medaris, local realtor, acting for the owners, Urban and Zoe June Peltzer, presented the annexation petition. He said George Yardley, who has built several local developments, has agreed to purchase the parcel for $4500 per acre if it can be annexed to the city. The petition specified that it can be withdrawn in the event the annexation does not go through. City Clark Charles Griffith took exception to the withdrawal clause, pointing out that the California annexation statute makes no provision for withdrawal of a petition after it has been accepted by the council. He was seconded by City Attorney Preston Turner. From Tejon pass in the Tehachata, the San Andreas fault moves southeastward, joining the San facinto fault and still southeast to fade out in Imperial county. The Garlock fault extends from Tejon Pass east by north through the Mojave desert. Off the Garlock fault, to the north and east, there are nearly a dozen similar faults, and the sillage which caused the extensive quake in Southern California's believed to have been a series of movements of a portion of the two major faults, which in turn set the movement off in the minor group. The map indicates there are even more faults south of the juncture of the San Andreas and Garlock faults extending from the northern border of Los Angeles county to the Santa Monica mountains, with the longest the Santa Ynez fault in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties. No Remedy One thing about an earthquake, it is pointed out, is the fact that there is little or nothing man can accomplish to prevent the vast earth movements which infrequently cause disasters. No accurate predictions can be made on when a quake will occur, or where along the fault it will hit hardest. Likewise, predictions can't be made as to where a quake will hit, for the center is not always along the known fault. Shocks have been noted in areas the map indicates is clear of fault, and the movement as traced by seismographic observation can extend for hundreds of miles. Yet the primary movement usually is traced to a known fault. There are, of course, other faults in California aside from the large major cracks. The geomorphic map shows several fault lines on the Modoc plateau, in the extreme northeast of the state; while the northwest coast line in Humboldt and Del Norte shows minor faults. A fairly long City Clark Charles Griffith took exception to the withdrawal clause, pointing out that the California annexation statute makes no provision for withdrawal of a petition after it has been accepted by the council. He was seconded by City Attorney Preston Turner. Spectator Successes Medaris then launched into an hour long argument concerning the withdrawal clause, the proposed annexation fee (on which the council has taken no action) and sundry other matters. During Medaris' occupation of the floor one of the four spectators in the council chamber slipped into peaceful shumber. Finally, the matter was thoroughly aired, Mayor Charles Pearson assured Medaris that the annexation fee would not apply to his proposed annexation if it went through, since it would be retroactive application, and that the city would follow its established policy of extending water, sewer and power lines to the property lines of the annexation. Medaris revealed that Yardley plans to subdivide the area into 68 lots. LEAGUE OF CITIES TO MEET The Orange county League of Cities will meet Thursday in Anaheim Elks club. Ernest S. Dixon, regional coordinator of Civil Defense Region 9, will be the featured speaker. County Share of Federal Deficit Set at 23 Million The people of Orange county will have to pay $23,760,000 in taxes in the future as their share of the $12,700,000,000 deficit resulting from the failure of congress to balance the federal budget for 1952-53 within the limits of anticipated federal income, California Taxpayers association said today, checking the box score of congressional action on the federal budget. This is over and above the taxes that must be paid for 1952-53. California's share of the $12,700,000,000 deficit in this year's federal spending program will be about $1,083,310,000, the association estimated—almost as much as the $1,200,000,000 state budget for 1952-53—almost as much as the total state tax bill for the year.
