Location of an airport site. In his budgetary recommendations to the chamber's board of directors, Strachan re-defined the chamber's organizational chart as comprising four departments for the development of specific programs. These are the industrial, professional, visitors and conventions, and commercial departments. "The basic citywide chamber program, however, is the responsibility of our civic and governmental affairs department, whose 10 committees cover the fields of legislation, county affairs, transportation, aviation, education and culture, highway and safety, urban redevelopment, parks and recreation and zoning and planning," Strachan said. Last year the chamber was actively involved in the location of 25 new industries, representing more than 2,000 new industrial jobs. Strachan reported. "Great progress was made also on matters of transportation, freeway signing, general planning, street improvements and safety programs," he added. "Recently completed, too, are important studies of community development, an airport site, flood control and re-arrangement of school district boundaries." Reviewing the last five years of the city's growth, Strachan pointed out that its total assessed valuation today is $160,000,000 as compared with $50,000,000 in 1956. Total industries five years ago was 105; today there are 230. And the industrial payroll has jumped from $25,000,000 during the interim to $70,000,000. REP.

Larger apportionments will be made in April and June. Orange County's allocation, based on the population figures of 703,925, totaled $203,063.06 for the period. The City of Anaheim, the county's largest municipality, received $43,106.51 for the quarter, based on a population of 106,905. Cranston said the comparable apportionment in 1959-60 was $9,039,305.

State Session Of Red Cross The third annual California state conference of the American National Red Cross opens at 10 a.m. today in the Disneyland Hotel, with General Alfred M. Gruenther, national president, presiding. More than 550 representatives of the state's Red Cross chapters are expected to attend. Robert B. Powell, chairman of the Anaheim chapter, will based on the population figures of 703,925, totaled $203,063.06 for the period. The City of Anaheim, the county's largest municipality, received $43,106.51 for the quarter, based on a population of 106,905. Cranston said the comparable apportionment in 1959-60 was $9,039,305. All but a minor portion of the license fee collections goes to local governments, he said, because the tax takes the place of a local property tax on motor vehicles. Until 1936 all vehicles were taxed at the local level as personal property. Studies disclosed, however, that the cities and counties were plagued by enforcement difficulties. The State thereupon assumed the responsibility of collection. The fees are allocated in accordance with a population formula that in the present instance allowed slightly more than 40 cents for every city resident and slightly less than 29 cents for every county resident. Population basis of the county apportionment was the 15,717,204 recorded in the April 1, 1960 federal census, while the city figure was 11,244,365, a figure which has been adjusted to reflect incorporations, annexations, and special censuses since April 1. Half the tees are distributed to the cities and half to the counties—after certain sums amounting to approximately 5 per cent of the total are deducted to pay for costs of administration of the law and for other purposes. Local governments can use the money for general purposes.
