"There is no question that in many cities property-owners have lost vast sums thru depreciation because of encroachment of industries and business into districts where they did not belong. Now is the time for Anaheim to start something of this kind." Council took the matter under consideration. Bids were called for April 12 on the $160,000 bond issue for the sewer from Anaheim to the junction with Santa Ana in the ocean outfall. Fullerton has recently sold its bonds.

The tenor of opinion now should be, says Ahlborn, the excellent and economical manner in which the department is looking after the public, in spite of smaller appropriations. The territory between that covered by the regular carriers and the Rural Free Delivery is that which suffers most at present, said Ahlborn.
