THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) ABRAHAM LINCOLN said: "That this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish!" Poor Abraham, had lived in 1959 he wouldn't have needed to have any thought of our government perishing. Not at income tax rates ranging from 22½% to 90%. SATURDAY is Valentine's day. And it reminds me of the early day Valentines, on a large sheet of paper, that made fun of the recipient. Look over the racks of Valentine cards today. They have gone from the penny class to the quarter class. Love is costing more, too, these days. WITH bated breath, whatever that is, we waited anxiously for the rains. We wanted to see what would happen to the rain water in the streets, since we had installed large storm drains. They must have helped. But the gutter in front of the Gazette office ran curb deep and car owners had to anchor their cars to parking meters to insure that they wouldn't float down stream. What we need now is a "north side of Center Street, 200 block east, storm drain program". THE CITY of Anaheim made Stanford Research Institute Will Conduct Survey For Orange County An economic study to help plan for future growth has been authorized by the Orange County Board of Supervisors, to be prepared by Stanford Research Institute. The detailed forecasts of Orange County's population, employment and other economic potentials will be available in four months, the Board has announced. Look Into Future The study will be the first of its type ever conducted for the county as a whole. It will bring together in a logical manner the basic economic factors relating to Orange County. It will answer for many governmental, private and civic groups a repeated question: In the light of past growth and development, what can be expected to happen in the future? The Board of Supervisors explained that the Research Institute had been retained to conduct the study at a cost of not more than $13,750.00 because 1) The Institute, with all of its experience in the field and a 300 man staff of experts at its disposal, can complete the study more quickly and at less cost than could the county government with its present staff, and 2) the resulting report will be more objective than it would a locally produced survey, because it will provide the county with the combined opinions of the Institute's independent staff, all of whom have had extensive experience with business and governmental problems elsewhere. Forecast County's Potential In many fields. It is, for instance necessary to have such economic data available for planning a building program for county. A building program should be a separate study using the information derived from a building study to guide the Board of Supervisors in selecting the proper locations and providing necessary facilities. Other special studies to help the board in future planning could be developed later in the fields of highway flood control, land use planning and zoning, industrial development, recreation, and air planning. The study will be of value many other groups in the county in planning for growth. Schools can draw on the plans future building programs; the many cities can benefit from the data in co-operation with their problems of growth and local commerce and industry can use it as a guide for expanding markets and job opportunities in the county. Decided Disneyland Locati In selecting Stanford Research Institute, the Board of Supervisors has chosen one of the research organizations in country. The Institute has ducted many studies of this throughout the west. Some ones are for the greater Ballfield Chamber of Commerce, Port of Oakland, the city county of Yuma, and Coo County, Arizona.

Motorists, from force of habit, kept feeding the meters all day, not realizing that Uncle Joe Miranda and his pals had gone fishing, or sumpin'. DOROTHY, our favorite redhead at Leo's Cafe, comes running with a glass of water and a cup of coffee the minute she sees us enter. That's what we like. We have to walk two blocks for lunch and some days we're completely exhausted from the exercise and need coffee stimulant immediately. Dorothy knows. DON DALEY, manager of Disneyland Hotel, is looking forward to the opening of a new wing to the north of the lobby. The hotel has ample room for expansion, and it will. TALKING about hidden taxes, it was called to my attention this week that an excise tax is still charged by the federal boys on long distance calls. Long distance calls are not a luxury. They are emergencies and necessities. Next time you are writing to your congressman, ask him to take a look at this tax, imposed during the war to discourage long distance calls, but now forgotten and remaining. THERE is no excise tax on the use of electricity, water or gas. Just ain't fair, that's all! DEFINITION of San Francisco: A town surrounded by restaurants where a visitor eats all night, sleeps till noon and exercises in the afternoon in an attempt to get hungry for another evening meal. Taxpayers Have Responsibility Forecast County's Potential The objective of the study is to analyze the county's economic structure as it has evolved to the present time and to forecast its potential development through 1980. It will include a study and forecast of population characteristics and densities within the various habitable sectors of the county; trends in the characteristics, type and volume of commercial, industrial and residential development within the county; tourist and recreation expenditures and potentials; trends in the county tax base, tax rates and revenue requirements; possible changes in the income pattern of the County's residents; and trends in the type and quantity of land use. Basis For Planning The board's intention is undertaking the study is to use it as the basis for intelligent planning.

Taxpayers Have Responsibility "Taxpayers are responsible for the facts and figures set forth on their Federal income tax returns for 1958." Mr. Robert A. Riddell, Director of Internal Revenue for Los Angeles District, said today. "This means," Mr. Riddell said, "that no matter who actually prepares a return, or assists in preparing it, the taxpayer who signs it bears full responsibility for it." He said this warning is not intended as a deterrent to the service of qualified accountants or others competent to help in the preparation of returns. "Taxpayers should naturally furnish such professional people complete and accurate records to insure acceptable returns," he said. "But whether the Internal Revenue Service or anyone else assists in the preparation of a return, it still may be subject to audit check at a later date."

Langenberger was an early day resident and merchant of Anaheim. His general store was located on the southwest corner of Lemon and Center Streets and later became the grocery store of Herman Dickle. Mrs. Halberstadt's death brings to mind the settlement of Anaheim by the Los Angeles Vineyard Society which hired George Hansen, a surveyor, to deal with Ontiveras for the square mile of land for their future home. Hansen was assisted in the negotiations for the land by Ontiveras son-in-law, Langenberger.

Then there shall be a time fixed, not less than thirty days thereafter, for a public meeting in which this matter shall be discussed and the resolution is required to be published once a week for four successive weeks. This is an attempt to strike at the criticism aimed at Orange County in the quick way in which hearings were pushed ahead in the determination of the agreement between the county and the American Marine. Financial Records The third bill is A.B. 1219 which would require a detailed statement of expenditures by any organization, company or corporation having an agreement with the city or county relative to production of gas, oil or other hydrocarbons. It would require that a financial statement or record of spendings be filed with the State Lands Commission. Finally, A.B. 1220 would add section 7054.5 to the Public Resources Code and provide that any lease or modification or amendment thereto before it shall be effective shall have the approval of the State Lands Commission. In addition to these provisions which have been introduced, the Orange County legislators, Senator Murdy and Assemblymen Hanna and Sumner have jointly authored a bill which is being entered on the Senate side, S.B. 284, which would have the county counsel of any county serve at the will and discretion of the board of supervisors.

Revise Carrier Routes in City Because of the rapid increases in the city's population, many mail delivery routes are now being revised and consolidated throughout the entire city, it was announced today by Postmaster Marshall N. McFlee. These changes become necessary whenever new homes and increased mail overburden letter carriers to a point that they cannot complete their routes in normal time, he explained. As many carriers will be assigned to routes unfamiliar to them, some delays in delivery are inevitable for a few days. These revisions may also effect many individuals normal time of delivery, as they may fall either earlier or later in the carriers line of travel. However, as soon as the routes are fully established, our delivery schedule provides for all deliveries to be completed by 3:30 p.m. except on those days when the mail volume is unusually heavy, the postmaster concluded. Anaheim Office Exceeds Million Wholesale Rate Increase Faced By Gas Companies Faced with a $15,000,000 hike in wholesale rates for out-of-state gas, southern California gas companies have asked the Federal Power Commission to suspend the price rise for the full period of five months provided by the Natural Gas Act. At the same time, the companies requested early hearings so that the full subject of the increase can be considered by the F.P.C. before the suspension period expires on July 12. Justin M. Kennedy, Orange County division manager of Southern Counties Gas Co., announced that, in a letter addressed to the federal commission, attorneys for Southern Counties and Southern California Gas Companies stated the two companies were making the request in the interest of 2,250,000 retail gas customers in the southland. Action of the local gas companies, Kennedy said, came as the result of a filing by El Paso Natural Gas Co. with the F.P.C. for an increase in its wholesale New Investigation of Dyke Water Co.

Anaheim Office Exceeds Million There were 29 post offices in California and two in Nevada which exceeded $1,000,000 in postal receipts during 1958. Regional Operations Director Verne Scoggins of the Post Office Department reported today. Anaheim and San Mateo were newcomers to the list in California and Reno was in Nevada. Los Angeles post office remained in first place with an increase of nearly $5.5 million over 1957 for a total of $61,968,125. The 1958 receipts for the 29 offices in California were 10.3 per cent higher than the 1957 total for those offices. In Nevada, Las Vegas and Reno receipts gained 12 per cent. Increases in postage rates during the last five months of 1958 accounted for an estimated seven to eight per cent gain in the total receipts for the year. Postmaster Marshall N. McFlee stated that the Anaheim post office had a total of $1,027,151 in postal receipts in 1958, ranking it 28th in size in California. Month of February For Heart Drive The Orange County Board of Supervisors, under the chairmanship of Willis H. Warner, today proclaimed February as Heart Month in Orange County as a memorial to their late colleague, Helinz Kaiser and urged county citizens, businesses and organizations to give their "most earnest support and cooperation" to the Heart Fund drive this month. As is done nationwide, this is the Orange County Heart Association's annual month-long drive to raise funds to support its programs of research, professional and public education and community services. The supervisors' proclamation pointed out that the diseases of the heart and blood vessels can either earlier or later in the carriers line of travel. However, as soon as the routes are fully established, our delivery schedule provides for all deliveries to be completed by 3:30 p.m. except on those days when the mall volume is unusually heavy, the postmaster concluded. Action of the local gas companies, Kennedy said, came as the result of a filing by El Paso Natural Gas Co. with the F.P.C. for an increase in its wholesale gas rates, $15,000,000 of which would be charged to the southland companies. The El Paso company supplies 70 per cent of the gas used in southern California. Under the rules of the Federal Power Commission, the proposed new rates would go into effect subject to later review, five months after the time of the filing if the commission by that time has not set a hearing date. The money involved in the proposed increase is impounded awaiting hearings and final commission decision in the matter. So. Counties Gas Company Adds 13,030 In County Net addition of 13,030 Orange County customers during 1958 was announced today by Southern Counties Gas Co. Division Manager Justin M. Kennedy. At the end of the year, Kennedy said, Southern Counties was serving 168,942 customers in Orange County, making his division the largest among eight in the company's system on the basis of number of customers served. Customer additions in this area last year also were the highest for any one of the eight operating areas. Throughout its 1,200-square-mile area, the gas company in 1958 had a net addition of 31,795 customers, Kennedy added. In an area bounded by Paso Robles in the north, and San Clemente in the south, the utility was serving 670,592 customers at year-end 1958. This overall customer total showed a whopping 177 per cent increase over a similar customer total of 242. Interested program chairmen are invited to make arrangements for the presentation by calling the station's Information and Recruiting Office, GEneva 1-1331, ext. 22. FAR EAST — Leonard E. Nelson, Jr., airman, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard E. Nelson, Sr. 1201 N. Euclid Ave., and John V. Taylor, fireman, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin R. Tayler of 1143 Chateau Ave., all of Anaheim, are serving aboard the attack aircraft carrier USS Midway, operating as a unit of the S. Seventh Fleet in the Far East. The Midway, flagship for the commander of Carrier Division five, visited Hong Kong, British Brown Colony, Jan. 12, after a 16-day period of fleet operation at sea. Various other Far Eastern ports, including Yokosuka, Japan, have also been visited by the heavy flattop. She is expected to return to the U.S. in the near future. Dick Jurgens, once a topflight orchestra leader on Broadway, is now an electronics executive in Colorado. As is done nationwide, this is the Orange County Heart Association's annual month-long drive to raise funds to support its programs of research, professional and public education and community services. The supervisors' proclamation pointed out that the diseases of the heart and blood vessels constitute the nation's and the county's major health problem and causes more deaths than all other causes combined. Noting that only through research can medical science discover the underlying causes of hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure—two disorders responsible for more than 90 percent of all heart disease—the proclamation continued: "The American Heart Association, the only national voluntary health agency devoted exclusively to combating diseases of the heart and circulation, and its local Orange County Heart Association, have made great progress in the fight against the heart problem through nationally coordinated programs of research."
