Murdoch points to the fact that while the city rate has remained constant at $1.10, the total tax rate has increased in the period from 1952 to 1957 from approximately $5.27 to $6.84 per $100 assessed value. "Since 1952, the county tax has increased 18 cents, schools $1.18, Flood Control district 16 cents, Harbor district 2 cents and the Sanitation district 5.8 cm According to Murdoch, has been no general increase in the assessed valuation of Anaheim area since 1952 says that, according to Assessor Hugh Plumb, the reason assessed valuations have increased would be a property owner had something in the nature of or an extra room, or had changed the use from residential to commercial and so forth.

DISNEYLAND FIREWORKS DISPLAY EXPENSE SET AT $300 NIGHTLY Brilliant bursts of fireworks over Disneyland each evening during the summer have enthralled residents of southwest Anaheim who view the nightly displays from their front porches, patios and yards. The Disneyland public relations office Tuesday said that the expense of the display runs $300 nightly, seven days a week. They added, however, that the expense of this free show for the public is more than offset boxoffice-wise by increased attendance at the park. Since the nightly displays were started early in the summer, attendance has picked up enough to warrant employment of 400 more Disneyland personnel. But the whole thing has created something in the way of a traffic problem, with bedazzled motorists pulling off onto the shoulders of all roads in the vicinity of Disneyland to park and gape at the pyrotechnics which begin with clockwork regularity each night at nine. The intersection of South Palm and Ball road especially becomes congested after the display as cars move out after the show, and Anaheim traffic officers have been seen warning motorists bold enough even to park on the approaches to the overpass at Harbor and the Santa Ana Freeway.
