'Pay Like Industry' County Employes Ask Wage Hike In 1960-61 Orange County Employees Assn. has notified the Board of Supervisors that a general increase in wages for workers will be sought for the 1960-61 year. John Sawyer, business manager for OCEA, said, in a letter to the Board, that the membership is seeking a general wage increase, elimination of inequities in classifications and a specific policy and method of determining salaries, wages and fringe benefits. A HEARING on the salaries budget will be held tomorrow. The policy sought by the association should be worked out first and then made law through an ordinance, Sawyer said. He said a wage hike is needed to bring county employes' salaries in line with that paid those in private industry. "MANY OF THE inequities in job classifications involve outstanding hardships which need correction over and above a general increase," Sawyer wrote. "In most instances," he said, "the classifications requiring the Douglas Modifies Salary Cut Plan; Below $12,000 Not Affected Douglas Aircraft Co. has modified its 10 per cent pay cut plan that went into effect Monday. The aircraft firm said salaried workers making less than $11,999 will not be affected by the pay cut and those who are making between $12,000 and $19,999 will receive only a 5 per cent cut. Employes in the $20,000 and above bracket will take a full 10 per cent cut. Hourly basis workers are not affected by the cuts. Arval Morris of Anaheim El FJC Foundation For 3 Year Joe W.

Hospital Has Adequate Staff, Claims CTA Director An official of the California Taxpayers Assn. has asked the Board of Supervisors to deny a request to hire additional physicians for the Orange County General Hospital staff.

BROWN SAID the patient load at the county hospital staff is less than it was one year ago and said the present staff is more than large enough to efficiently operate the hospital. The board did not take any action on the request. April 14 Deadline Ballot Registration Home Savings Pay Out $274,464 Here E. W.

ANAHEIM Conversation Pieces Low Taxes Mean Growth Taxes—a favorite topic with this department—were a paramount issue in Anaheim’s rapid industrialization and rise to county commercial leadership. Anaheim has a city tax rate of $1.10 per $100—far below the two other county industrial-business leaders Santa Ana ($1.44) and Fullerton ($1.64). BUT THAT ISNT the complete tax picture — not with overlapping and varied taxing districts that are a part of modern communities. In all Anaheim has 44 tax code areas and strangely enough Santa Ana is lower in 35 on a comparison basis. BUT THAT ISN'T the complete tax picture — not with overlapping and varied taxing districts that are a part of modern communities. In all Anaheim has 44 tax code areas and strangely enough Santa Ana is lower in 35 on a comparison basis. But Anaheim still holds a tax enticement edge by rates that range from a low of $6.64 to a high of $8.66 as compared to Santa Ana with a low of $6.85 to a high of $8.12. THE SLIGHT DIFFERENCE is set off by another consideration of most industrialists — Anaheim's city owned water and power system charges lower rates for service. All of which adds up to a sage observation: A healthy, prosperous city maintains a close watch of its tax structure to keep growing. Name For 'Life or Death' What's in a name? Could be a difference between life and death. The Orange County Medical Assn. reports that a doctor recently was delayed in an emergency night call to a home on Harbor Blvd. here because he was unaware that the 24-mile long trafficway, once known as Fullerton Rd., Spadra Rd., Palm Ave. and Harbor Blvd., is now simply Harbor Blvd. THE SINGLE ILE CAME as a result of a recent naming. The physician assumed that Harbor Blvd. existed at the southern end only and that the northern section was known as Palm St. and he drove to the wrong section of the city. The mixup was cleared up by a telephone call to the patient's home and nothing serious or tragic resulted, but the Medical Assn. asked that the incident be publicized so that persons would realize that they should also give the names of cities along with street addresses when reporting emergencies. The multitudinous street names are legacy of the boom. But let's not make it a tragic one for you or your loved ones.
