White of the Santa Ana board, it was voted to reiterate each board the question of action on the act. The local board, while it neither endorsed nor condemned the act, indicated its opposition to it. Attendance, however, was not large enough to make the attitude of the board as a whole certain. Among the guests present were President Howard Williams of the State board and President Freeman H. Bloodgood and Secretary Jack Wallac of the of the Santa Ana board, with several other Santa Ana members. Bloodgood is chairman of the county committee which has been organized in opposition to the act, and spoke briefly after Mack was finished.

PLANS TO EXPAND The increase in capital from $50,-000 to $200,000, articles for which have been filed with the county clerk, will enable the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n to expand considerably. Manager W. H. Schureman said today. Permission of the commissioner of corporations now is being awaited, but meawwhile stock is being issued conditionally at the rate of 10 cents per 100 pounds of fruit. The capital increase was decided upon at the last annual meeting of the association, and was necessitated in the first place by the erection of the new West Anaheim house. At the same time the association had been undercapitalized before and its membership limited thereby. Schureman said. The association now has more than 2700 acres, said the manager, an increase of some 400 acres within the last eight or ten months, and expects to add further acreage, especially in connection with the campaign for growers wihthe California Fruit growers which the California Fruit special canvassers. New growers as fast as signed up will be assigned to the exchange member whose territory would include the acreage in question. The member associations themselves have no regular canvassers, most of this work devolving upon the managers themselves. EQUALIZATION BD.
