It was situated there until 1929 when it was located at the site of its present building in 187 W. Center. Old Resident Originally, Yungbluth, who has been an Anaheim resident since 1922, started off with $100,000 of assets. Today that figure is at $2,500,000. In 1927 Forrest F.

No Tax Increase In Sight for New Municipal Budget No tax raise is anticipated in the 1959-60 budget city councilmen are expected to receive at their June 30 meeting. City Manager Keith Murdoch said the tentative budget calls for no increase in the property tax of $1.10 per $100 of assessed valuation. Preliminary estimates indicate the new budget councilmen will be asked to approve should fall within the same range as the 1958-59 figure of $9,533,000. Anaheim's major sources of income for the 1958-59 year were from the sale of light, power and water, one cent sales tax, property tax, state shared vehicle license fees, state shared gasoline taxes, sanitation charges and miscellaneous fees, permits and licenses. Property taxes accounted for only 15 per cent of the total 1958-59 operating budget. Start of the new fiscal year is July 1. From a technical standpoint councilmen should approve the budget before that date.
