MORE ABOUT ... Anaheim and Orange County Settlement (Continued from Page 3) $2,000,000 in taxes, very little of which had been expended on roads and bridges in this county. Indeed, there were no bridges here and roads were intolerable in the summer and all but impassable in the winter time. Old and new San Gabriel rivers and Santa Ana in floods, during the season, overflowing their banks, doing great destruction to property and causing losses to stock and poultry as well as taking an occasional human life. On the other hand, roads for many miles about Los Angeles were graded and graveled and placed in excellent condition. Bridges were thrown over the Los Angeles river and travel was a delight while in this section it was a torment. Moreover, much criticism existed at the cost of county buildings and the methods of what was called the Los Angeles political ring. City people were told by the old-timers there was nothing left for them to look forward to in the parent county, and that division would come just as sure as the sun would rise again. Many good friends were friendly. ELECTRA MOTORS SHOWS GROWTH Electra Motors, Inc., was organized April 1, 1946, as a California corporation, with Arval Morris as president, Bernhard N. Palm, vice-president, and Gilbert J. Wittman, secretary-treasurer. These three men supplied the foundation talent, experience, and guidance for the exploratory work in design and manufacture of "The Lightweight Champion," their industrial type motor. Today more than 700 electrical and mechanical designs are included in the product line. The districters remain active in the administration, design, and production of Electra-Motors, Electra-Gearmotors, and Electra-Gearreducers. More than 100 employees contribute their efforts toward continued growth in production and distribution at the Anaheim plant, which has been expanded to approximately 20,000 square feet in floor area. Electra-Motors are marketed through representatives located in all major cities throughout the United States, and an export division handles foreign distribution. The present staff includes fully trained and experienced electrical and mechanical engineers, draftsmen, machinists, and, of course, skilled workers of numerous trades. Individually and collectively their ability to organize production, fabricate materials, and produce new designs has been demonstrated by the progress made since the inception of the company. Electra Motors, Inc., is taking an active part in the industrial development of Southern Cali. Bridges were thrown over the Los Angeles river and travel was a delight while in this section it was a torment.

City people were told by the old-timers there was nothing left for them to look forward to in the parent county, and that division would come just as sure as the sun would rise again. Many good men in town assumed a friendly attitude, but the bulk stood steadfast by what had been done. There was no relief in sight, and accordingly a bill creating the county of Anaheim was introduced in the legislature but it did not get anywhere. In the succeeding legislation, therefore, another bill creating the county of Santa Ana was introduced, but met defeat. Third Attempt In 1888, the third attempt at county division was being considered. To distract the population from the proposed legislation, the supervisors built a bridge across the Olive crossing, the first considerable sum of money expended here by the old county. By this time Santa Ana had grown to be a town of some considerable population. It was the largest town in the county. Orange and Tustin were likewise advancing and there was a considerable settlement in the Westminster country. Santa Ana took the lead in the division fight. The Pioneers in this section, who had tried twice for division before, looked with favor upon the movement. It was agreed to place the northern boundary line at New River, now known as San Gabriel river, which was the boundary line in the two previous bills. An earnest campaign ensued; however, at the last moment, the northern boundary line was placed at Coyote creek, which stirred up a storm of protest here as well as in the San Gabriel district. Old-timers saw in the move a gesture to make Santa Ana the county seat. San Gabriel folk protested against being excluded from the proposed new county. Despite the demands of the delegation of men who went to Sacramento demanding the changing of the boundary line, the pleas fell upon deaf ears. The bill introduced placed the boundary line at the creek, which excluded a rich and thickly populated country beyond it to the north. It was found that Los Angeles had the whip hand and would probably defeat the measure.

Electra Motors, Inc., is taking an active part in the industrial development of Southern California. On December 10, 1954, the company was merged with Preco Incorporated of Los Angeles, and this merger should bring about a more extensive campaign in the completion of the line of motors for the industrial electrical field. The company has enjoyed throughout its electric motor life, a development of a successful type of industrial motor that is used extensively throughout the United States. The present officers of Electra Motors, Inc., are: Arval Morris, president; Bernhard N. Palm, vice-president; mechanical engineering; Gilbert J.

Despite the demands of the delegation of men who went to Sacramento demanding the changing of the boundary line, the pleas fell upon deaf ears. The bill introduced placed the boundary line at the creek, which excluded a rich and thickly populated country beyond it to the north. It was found that Los Angeles had the whip hand and would probably defeat the measure. Then it was that an appeal was made to the San Francisco delegation which came over to support the bill and it was passed and signed by the governor. It provided that the new county should be contingent upon a two-thirds vote of the people. After an active campaign for and against the new county, the bill carried and the county was organized. This was 16 years after the first attempt at division. Many of the Pioneers opposed the county because of the change in the northern boundary, but others who were disgusted at the way Los Angeles had treated them in the past supported it.
