But his statement board members whose school districts are within the boundaries of the Anaheim Union High School District are "very much against" unification is a little premature. Six elementary school districts fall within the boundaries of the Anaheim Union High School District. They are Anaheim, Centralia, Savannah, Magnolia, Cypress and Los Alamitos.

Disneyland Again Offers Six elementary school districts fall within the boundaries of the Anaheim Union High School District. They are Anaheim, Centralia, Savannah, Magnolia, Cypress and Los Alamitos. Unification would mean all of the districts unifying into one large district or into several smaller ones. The California State Legislature passed a law in 1959 which requires every county and every school district to study unification. A county committee must be set up to draw up a master plan for unification, whether the districts want it or not. The plan must be submitted to the State Department of Education by September 1963 for approval. If it is approved, then the citizens involved will vote on whether to have unification or not. The Orange County committee has already started to study the matter. It has appointed a study committee to look into the problems of unification. The study committee is made of presidents of the seven school boards. To date a minimum number of meetings have been held. Proponents of unification claim it will save money to have districts unified. Shanks has said this has not been proved true. He has said tax rates may even become higher as result of unification.

Shanks has said this has not been proved true. He has said tax rates may even become higher as result of unification. Since we are not experts on the matter, we do not profess to know. But the matter should be fully explored. Down Garden Grove way residents hold a unification election this month. We understand a minimum amount of publicity has been given the matter.

Each city department, as contained in the current city budget, will be analyzed.) Little, if anything, is known about the City Clerk’s office by most residents.
