Governing Units Now Over 90,000 It takes over 90 thousand separate government units to administer the needs of U.S. citizens, says Commerce Clearing House, nationwide reporting authority on tax and business law. In a review of official statistics published in the monthly "Taxes," CCH noted that, in addition to the federal and the 50 state governments, county, municipal, township, school district and special governing units, such as highway authorities or commission, bring the total number of units to a whopping 91,236, as follows: National 1 State 20 County 3,048 Municipal 17,907 Township 17,144 School District 34,678 Special District 18,323 91,236 Several states account for more than 4,000 governments each. Illinois leads the pack with over 6400 units, followed in order by Pennsylvania (6200), Kansas (5400), Minnesota (5200), Nebraska (5100), South Dakota (4400) and California (4600). The average number of governments per state is 1,825. Hawaii claims the lowest number, only 21. CCH said, The tabulation shows, however, that the number of separate units is down more than 11,000 from the 1957 figures of 102,392, due mainly to a sharp decrease in school district bodies. Municipal and special district units have increased only slightly, while county and township governments remain virtually unchanged in number, CCH reported.

"The Disneyland Show," he had to fashion the weapons." Local Gun Fanciers Will Vie With Best at Disneyland Show Although exhibitors are due to 15 states for the 3rd annual Disneyland Gun Show, a host of the Countians will be spearing the event sponsored by California Arms Collectors, 21-23. Charles R. Suydam, of Santa Clara director of the show, said this year's show will draw visitors from as far as New York and Washington, excluding the 1982 total of some 200 collectors. Crowds throng walls of the Disneyland Hotel for the three days are expected far outdo last year's estimated some 5000 firearms fanatics will be Jack L. Bowman, Ed Heacock of Anaheim; R.

Brust, Santa Ana and Clarence Halm in Clemente. Among the judges will be Wilb. Edwards of San Francisco nationally known authority author of "Civil War Guns," best seller in the fire-research field. Bowman's collection; a fraction which is pictured above, will be represented at the exhibit. And the Gazette, however, that is the remarkable collection, the exhibits by others all-fascinates him and absorbs his attention. "The Disneyland Show," he said, "brings exceptionally find displays from all over the nation, and certainly merits the careful attention of everyone interested in fine workmanship and items of historical significance." Bowman has weapons in both of these categories as well as those marked for their rarity. One of his revolvers, for example, the Dance Brothers Dragoon is one of only 12 known to be still in existence. He has a number of pistols and revolvers marked for their Confederate Army heritage due to the large amount of brass used in their manufacture. "The South," explained Bowman, "was woefully short of any kind of steel and as a result had to melt down brass pieces they had to fashion the weapons." Another item in his gun room is a two-shot Lindsay with the name J. Wilkes Booth engraved on the handle butt. A silvered 41 rim fire has amongst the extensive engraving, the name of one of Pancho Villa's top lieutenants, Magna. The ivory handles are carved with the Mexican national emblems of an eagle and snake. Another item is a pistol from the collection made by John Brown and rescued from the burning of his arsenal. But, Bowman protests, these are only a bare few of significant items to be on display during the show or will, he declares, be overshadowed by weapons brought to the exhibit by the more than 200 entrants expected. Shrine Game Tickets 'Go' Shriners throughout Southern California today turned full attention to the staging of the 12th annual Shrine Pageant and North-South All - Star football game scheduled for the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum the evening of August 1. ELECTRIC (Continued from Page 1) utility demand in Orange County. Bechtel had not provided for this increase in the capacity load. From the Zinder report we have determined that the system mate 225,000 KVA (kilovolt-amperes). This includes a reserve capacity. The system at the present time totals 140,000 KVA. The electrical portion of the bond issue will add 100,000 KVA to the system, bringing system capacity to a total 240,000 KVA. This should be adequate until the middle of 1967. Specific Plans After careful analysis of all these reports and studies and adding our own findings, we are able to make the proper adjustments and recommend the following for the second portion of the electrical development plan: a new addition for the Anaheim substation, $750,000; addition for the Dowling substation, $350,000; addition for the Lewis substation, SAC Journalists Early 3 Millions Total employment in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Orange County rose by 12,300 from April 1962 to May, Albert B.

Gardeners Checklist For the Week of June 17 to June 22, 1963 the California Association of Nurserymen use an iron compound on sites if their leaves show of yellowing. need lawns once a month lawn fertilizer. other planting of corn canada. Lilies squash and beans for your laid summer enjoyment. 4. Cut faded delphiniums before they have a chance to set seed. You should get another bloom still from delphiniums. 5. Roses like food every month or six weeks until mid-September. Their fall bloom depends on the care they get now. Specific Plans After careful analysis of all these reports and studies and adding our own findings, we are able to make the proper adjustments and recommend the following for the second portion of the electrical development plan: a new addition for the Anaheim substation, $750,000; addition for the Dowling substation, $350,000; addition for the Lewis substation, $300,000; and construction of the electrical portion of a new utility yard, $100,000. The load increase at all three of these substations has been due to a constant system growth of approximately 25 percent a year with the influx of new housing and major industry. First phase of construction at the Anaheim addition would be scheduled for 1963-64, with completion in 1965-66. Work on the Lewis addition would be started and completed in 1965-66. The Dowling addition would be scheduled to begin in 1963-64, with completion in 1966-67. Need New Yard A new utility yard is urgently needed now owing to crowded conditions of yard facilities at 918 S. Los Angeles St. This yard is presently being shared with other rapidly expanding city departments. The best solution is to move the utility operations to a new location. The Utility Department (water and electric) has always paid for its own bonds and provides the major revenues for the city ($7.16 percent of the 1963-63 budget). In addition to paying all bond interest and redemption payments, Utilities also pays for its own maintenance and operation, and expansion of its distribution system. Our recommendations, based on sound studies and realistic needs for the future, will be presented to the city council for action before July 18.
