Legislative Recess is Opportunity For Evaluation of Proposed Bills SACRAMENTO (CIS) - Some analysis of where the California taxpayers' dollar goes, in view of the $1,326,851,805 budget submitted to the legislature by Gov. Earl Warren is due the public during the constitutional recess of the two houses. The constitutional recess was originally incorporated into the basic law of the state to give the public an opportunity to digest the bills before the houses and to offer a time for expression of opinion on those bills, thus giving legislators somewhat of a guide on how to vote when they returned to Sacramento to enact legislation. This provision undoubtedly was a good one when it was adopted for the simple reason that only a few hundred bills were considered by the legislature at that time. Now with the introduction of some thousands of bills, only the most important, and those of the widest interest can be discussed. First of these is the state budget, and that document of 1264 pages is large enough to present a volume to the public if all of the items were discussed in detail. To take the largest items first, a survey of the document reveals that the state during the next fiscal year proposes to spend a total of $242,717,076 for education purposes, which is the largest single item in the budget. This sum amounts to nearly 40 per cent of the total, which means that out of every dollar the taxpayers will hand to the state, 40 cents goes for educational purposes. This does not, of course, include the amount the taxpayer pays locally for educational purposes. His property tax for schools is in addition to the state wide educational bill. In the operational budget of the department, for additions to state colleges and other educational institutions operated by the state, amounts to $11,154,458, according to the budget. The University of California capital outlay program is separate from the department, and this amounts to $13,458,290 from the capital outlay and savings fund. An additional $3,143,485 from other funds not computed in the overall total, is also requested. The biggest bill for education, however, comes from the subventions of the state government to the various school districts throughout the state. This total amounts to $416,449,555, including $3,000,000 for the school lunch program from federal funds, a sum not included in the overall budget figure; $5,356,615 for the operation of child care centers, which must be authorized by the legislature again; and $13,884,750 for debt service on public school building bonds. This is repayment of a portion of the $250,000,000 school bond issue voted by the people, and interest. Additionally, there is $22,166,-800 for the state contribution to the teachers' retirement system.

(Gazette photo) IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago January 1878 A teamster named Frank Clark, employed by Halberstadt & Co., was the victim of a highway robbery on Tuesday. He was driving his team to Anaheim Landing when at a point about five miles from town he was met by three men—two Mexicans and a Frenchman—who presented revolvers and demanded his money. The robbers got $5 in silver, a plug of tobacco and a first class cussing—the latter being administered when they were out of sight. The San Francisco Alta has entered upon its twenty-ninth volume—something to be proud of. It is a respectable, reliable paper and one that can be read with enjoyment and confidence. In a retrospective article it says "It is the only paper in the state established before the admission of California into the Union. It was the first daily, it published the first steamer edition, containing the news of the previous fortnight, for transmission by steamer to the East, it had the first steam press in the basin of the Pacific, and it was the second newspaper in the world, to appear regularly seven days in the week. Its only predecessor being the New York Herald. A row among sailors at Anaheim Landing yesterday resulted in one of them getting badly thrashed. He came to town, swore out a warrant against his assailant and Marshal Wartenberg went to the Landing and arrested him. The belligerant shellback was able of valuable papers belonging to the Anaheim Water Company were stolen from the Eypress box.

Frank Ey will leave for San Francisco this morning. 50 Years Ago January 1903 Edward B Russell of Los Angeles and Miss Anna Bauer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs George Bauer of this city, were married on the 15th inst at 3 o'clock at the residence of the bride's brother Charles E.
