WOMAN'S LOT CASE UNDER ADVISEMENT Two verdicts, both of which are advisory to the court, were rendered by the jury in the civil action brot by Miss Mary Stuart, Los Angeles school teacher, against Ray Walker and W. Frank Linder of Huntington Beach and the Midway Petroleum Co. for a recision of contract entered into between the plaintiff and Walker for the sale of a lot which she owned in the beach city. Miss Stuart alleged that Walker obtained an option on the lot thru fraud, misrepresentation and concealment in pretending that he wanted it for a friend who proposed to raise corn. Walker gave Miss Stuart $50 to make the deal binding. He later sold the lot to Frank Linder for $10. The plaintiff's price on the lot was $700. While she claimed that she had received nothing more than the initial payment of $50, it is understood that the remainder of the purchase price was held in escrow.

REDUCTION IN NASH BOOSTS BUSINESS That the automotive sales market has passed from a price stage to a value stage is the assertion of W. C. May, general manager of the May Motor Co., distributors for the Nash in Orange-co. According to May, the new prices, which went into effect recently, on all Nash cars, have resulted in greatly stimulated business. In commenting on the situation May said: "The fact that the public realizes that the prices of standard lines of cars are becoming stabilized is proven in the increased volume of business that this company has had since the reductions went into effect." For a number of months the public has been basing its judgment in car purchasing on price. Now, however, the true standard, that of quality, is again being used, as the majority of cars now being sold are at figures closely approximating those of pre-war times. The present Nash reductions represent lowered production costs in the two Nash plants, one at Kenosha and the other at Milwaukee. These savings, attainable only because of the efficient and economical methods of Charles W. Nash, one of the country's highest authorities on production methods, are now being passed up to Nash buyers. "It has long been the established Nash policy, which has been carried on to the Nash distributor and dealer organizations, to always deal fairly and squarely with the public. It obtained an option on the lot through fraud, misrepresentation and concealment in pretending that he wanted it for a friend who proposed to raise corn. Walker gave Miss Stuart $50 to make the deal binding. He later sold the lot to Frank Linder for $10. The plaintiff's price on the lot was $700. While she claimed that she had received nothing more than the initial payment of $50, it is understood that the remainder of the purchase price was held in escrow. Miss Stuart sought to rescind the contract when she learned of oil drilling activities in proximity to the lot. The jury found that the lot was of the value of $700 Oct. 19, 1920, the date of the alleged contract of sale, and that Walker procured the lot by fraud, misrepresentation and concealment. The court fight was an equitable action on the part of the plaintiff. The defendant filed a cross complaint for specific performance. Miss Stuart, according to Attorney L. A. West, associate counsel for plaintiff, made a tender of recision of the contract and the defendants refused to accept. It is understood the issue will be settled next Friday morning. Judge West has the case under advisement. MILLER FUNERAL SERVICES. Funeral services for Miss Anna Mary Miller, who passed away at the Wellman home Sunday morning, were conducted yesterday afternoon by Rev. Geissinger, in Methodist White Temple.

These savings, attainable only because of the efficient and economical methods of Charles W. Nash; one of the country's highest authorities on production methods, are now being passed up to Nash buyers. "It has long been the established Nash policy, which has been carried on to the Nash distributor and dealer organizations, to always deal fairly and squarely with the public. It is our belief that the policy has been as highly important in our success as has been the quality of the Nash product." "The Nash Motors Co. has publicly committed itself to continuously pursue the policy of steadily building a better value and holding to existing prices until new economies in production are effected. This is the explanation why with the announcement of these reduced prices, this company has been able to advertise that with these prices goes an even better car than was produced before."

As originally planned, the duties were not to begin until Sept. 1, but the change in date has been made to allow Miller's predecessor in the office, Rev. Paul Wright, to go to Ontario a little in advance of the appointed time, in order to find a suitable location for his family. Secretary Miller's successor in the "Y" work has not yet been selected, although there are several candidates under consideration. COUNTY TO SHARE $9,500,000 FUND Counties of the state will receive $9,500,000 of state school funds on Sept. 1, Ray Riley, state controller, announced today, according to report from Sacramento. This is the first apportionment, said the report, under the law which increases the state allowance from $17.50 to $30 per pupil. Orange-co will receive a proportionate share of this fund, but the amount of its share has not been estimated yet, according to R. P. Mitchell, county school superintendent. He said: "The apportionment of the state found is made by the state school superintendent, who receives it from the state state controller. It is not made directly on a pupil basis, but on a teacher and attendance basis." “What the share will be this year I cannot say at present, but must wait for the state superintendent to issue his figures.” WESTMINSTER LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE DRY Prospects are beginning to loom for a dry hole for the Westminster Oil Co. at Westminster.
