Mileage of
Chief of Police's Car.
Trustee Rowland, appointed as a committee to investigate
the statements made by Trustee LeGaye with reference to
the increased mileage of the Chief of Police,s car, repot.
ted that the difference in mileage on all police cars
was due to the installation of radios and that the cars
were in motion most of the time. Trustee Rowland stated
that Chief Howard had a statement to make and the follow-
lng communication was read:
To the Honorable City Council,
City of Santa Ana, California.
July 2, 1934.
Gentlemen:
A report of the Council proceedings, appearing
in last Tuesday's issue of the Santa Aha Register, repre-
sents Councilman LeGaye as having made the statement
before the Council meeting of June 25, 1934, that the
Chief of Police of Santa Ana has been using a city owned
automobile for the purpose of furthering his candidacy
for Sheriff, and that the taxpayers were buying gasoline
to operate the car. Inasmuch as Councilman LeGaye has
not denied the newspaper report, it is a fair assumption
that he was correctly quoted. Therefore, I wish to chal-
lenge the statement made by Councilman LeGaye, apparently
for the purpose of injurtug my candidacy.
I wish to specifically refer to the statement
by Councilman LeGaye in his report to the Register, or
rather the report appearing in the Register, as to the
car, a Ford V 8, which he says was operated by the Chief
of Police. His mileage figures are irrevalent because he
either inadvertently neglected to state, or did not know,
that a comparative mileage basis could not be fairly made
because there was no police radio patrol service in March
April and May of 1933, when the car travelled 3316 miles,
as 9049 miles made during the same months in 1934, when
the car was placed in radio patrol service. This car was
considered the Chief's car up until the middle of Febru-
ary, 1934, after which time it was put in patrol service,
and driven by Capt. Buckles at night. On March 15, 1934,
it was put in radio patrol service and has continued in
that service.
Police radio cars, as is w~ll understood, are
in motion most of the time, and grea~ pressure was exerte~
to get this ser~ce in Santa Ana and Orange County so
that criminals could be more promptly apprehended. It
was approved by the Board of Supervisors. I am sure the
tax-payers are not complaining about this increased pro-
tection.
In this conrmction, it might clarify the situa-
tion to say that the mileage on cars numbers 1V and 18
show an increase over the same period as the Ford V 8,
because they are a part of the radio patrol equipme~ for
1934, which was not a part of the service in 1933.
In Re
Salary Return
of Chief of Police.
The element of good sportsmanship has always
been a part of our American life, whether in athletics,
politics, or other contesting issues, and it seems to me
that I should have at least been extended the courtesy of
being asked to explain this alleged misuse of city proper-
ty at the same time Councilman LeGaye made h~ statement
to the Council.
On the other hand, I was not aware he was going
to make such a report before the Council, and was not
asked to appear at the time the accusations were made,
either to explain or defend. I think as a public official
and law enforcement officer, I should have been notified
to appear so I could present my side of the c cntroversy.
Not having an invitation to appear before the
Council, I can only interpret, as I am sure the voter will
interpret, that the charges were made to impair my candi-
dacy for Sheriff, inasmuch as it reflected an improper
use of city equipms~t and material.
I am content to leave Councilman LeGaye's
charges and my explanation to the fairness of the Council
and the voter for decision.
So far I have not found it either nemessary or
expedient to resort to petty larceny in the conduct of my
campaign, nor have I anything to conceal in the offical
conduct Sf my nine years of service as a law enforcement
officer in Santa Aha and Orange County. I esteem the pub-
lie's good will and respect too highly to resort to such
practices as were inferred in Mr. LeGaye's statements.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) Floyd W. Howard
Chief o~ Police of the Cit~
of Santa Ana.
On motion of Trustoe Penn, seconded by Bruns and carried,
the report of the Police Commissioner and the communica-
tion of Floyd W. Howard, Chief of Police, were accepted
and ordered made a part of the record.
In order to make the record complete, Trustee LeGaye made
a motion that the clipping from the Santa Ana Daily Regis-
ter published June 19, 1933,relative to the Chief of
Police returning a percentage of his salary to the City
of Santa Aha, be made a part of the minutes. The motion
was lost for lack of a second.

Trustee LeGaye presented the following Resolution for

"RESOLVED, that it shall be the policy of the City
Council in making up its annual budget for the year 1934-
35, that no money shall be budgeted or set aside from the

election law regarding vacancies and .appointments to the City Council,
after the oral opinion given by Charles D. Swanner and 0. A. Jacobs to
the City Council at its informal meeting Thursday, July 5th, 1934,
which was given upon the request of the group of gentlemen at said
meeting who were representing the Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants
Division of Santa Ana, I am pleased to render such opinion in accord-
ance with my views previously expressed.
Section 754 of Act ~233, of the General Laws, provides as fol-
lows: "Any vancancy occurring in any of the offices provided for in
t~is act shall be filled by appointment by the board of trustees; but
i~ such office be elective, such appointee shall hold office only until
the next regular election, at which time a person shall be elected to
serve for the remainder of such unexpired term. In case a member of
the board of trustees is absent from the city for the period of ninety
days, unless by permission of the board of trustees, his off~ e shall
by the board be declared vacant, and the same filled as in case of
other vacancies."
The question then pres®nted under this Act is what the Legis-
lature meant by "~he next regular election". In accordance w~ h the
law, it appears that there are only two kinds of elections, "general
?lection" and "special election", and does not make provisions or give
a definition of "regular election". Political Code, Section 1041, de-
fines a "general election" as follows: "There must be held throughout
the state, on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November, in
the year eighteen hundred and eighty, and in every second year thereaf-
ter, an election, to be known as the general election."
And gives the definition of "special election" as follows:
"Special elections are such as are held to supply vacancies in any
office, and are held at such times as may be designated by the proper
board or officer."
However, our Supreme Court has had occasion in the case of
People vs. Lynch, 114 California Reports, at Page 168, to cite several
authorities from out of state cases, defining the term "regular election
A Kansas case is cited and quoted as follows: "The words, 'regular
election' do not necessarily mean general election or township election,
or any state, county city or district election. They simply mean the
regular election prescribed by law for the election of the particular
officer to be elected."
In citing a Florida case, the following quotation is given;
"When it is declared that the city council shall fill vacancies until
the next regular election, it means until the next regular election pro-
vided by the charter for electing the officer whose term has been vacant
The nearest case we have in California which might decide this
question as to the meaning of the term "regular election" is found in
the case of People vs. Babcock, in 123 California Reports, at page 307,
in which our Supreme Court construed the term "regular election" under
an Act of the City and County of San Francisco referring to the appoint-
merit of the Superintendant of Schools by the Board of Education to fill
a vacancy. In filling this vacancy, the Board of Education specified,
"to fill the vacancy until the regular election then next following."
In this particular case the next regular election was a general
state election and also a general municipal election, and the proclama-
tion for the municipal election included the office of superintendant of
schools. In affirming this election for superintendant of schools and
in their opinion, the Supreme Court states: "In the case of any parti-
cular statute the construction can be determined Only by considering
the context in which the word is found, the purpose of the statute and
the object which it was designed to accomplish. The next regular elec-
tion may mean the election at which officers are to be regularly elected
or "regular" may be used merely to exclude special elections, or it may
be used synonimously or inter-changeably with the word "general".
They further make a quotation of the particular section under
discussion and state as follows: "If regular election is here to be
construed as the election at which this class of officers is regularly
- chosen~ then in cases of some officers contemplated by the cDmrter, the
regular election could only be at the end of the term and the provision
that a person shall be elected to serve for the remainder of the unex-
pired term would be meaningless. These instances are given not as hav-
ing any dstemzinative force upon the question here presented, but in
illustration of the fact that the p~hrase 'regular election' has no
fixed and inflexible meaning."
This decision was rendered in 1899, at which time general
municipal elections for members of the Board of Trustees were held
every two years. In other words, the terms were staggered~ Section
754.of tD~ Act at this time could not be mis-interpreted and the inten-
tion of the Legislature was clear by reason of the fact that a general
municipal election was held ~very two years. In.1903, Section 752 of
the Act was amended so that after 1907, the staggered system was abol-
ished and we now have the Board of Trustees all elected every four years
Therefore, the force and effect of Section 754 was taken away and an
app~ntee would hold office until the next general municipal election.
This in view of the fact that Section 752 then specified and now speci-
fys that the Board of Trustees shall be elected at a GENERAL MUNICIPAL
ELECTION.
The o~ly construction, therefore, that can now be placed upon
Section 784 as t~ the term "regular election" is that it means the next
general municipal election as it meant previous to the amendment.
The Supreme Court in conclusion of their opinion in the case
of People vs. Babcock, state as follows: "'Regular election, as thus
employed, then, is synonimous with 'general election'. Whether it be a
general state election or a general municipal election~ it is unneces-
sary here to determine, since the election at which the relator was
elected was both a general State election and a general municipal
election".
From the foregoing decisions, the writer has come to the con-
clusion that "regular election" as used in Section 754 of Act 8233 can
only be given the meaning intended by the Legislature at the time the
Act was passed, and means the next general municipal election occuring
in April, 1938.

$250,000.00 covering delinquencies under the 191~ Street
Improvement Bonds.
On motion of Trustee Rowland, seconded by Penn and car-
ried, the following Resolution No. 2390 was adopted:
"That on account of the recent Supreme Court Decision
in the City of Lake Port Street Impr~ement matter, the
City of Santa Ana as a whole is held responsible for the
1915 Street Assessment Bonds, and by reason thereof the
credit of the City of Santa Ama is at stake;
That Santa Aha at present enjoys, and always has enjoye~
an enviable reputation for integrity and ability. The
privilege and responsibility of sustaining that reputa-
tion is on Santa Ana and her representatives. Compliance
with the decision of the Court in informally accepting
this obligation through the voting of these bonds, is
necessary to accomplish that end;
That there is no probability that this will add to the
tax burden of any citizen, for the City is subrogated by
this act to the rights of the bondholders in relation to
the special assessment district. As a consequence, the
City will collect this from these districts, and the funds
so collected will be kept segregated in a special fund,
for the purpose of meet~g the principal and interest on
these bonds.
That we respectfully urge all citizens to consider this
matter in a broad way, and as your representatives, prom-
ise that in adjusting and substituting lthese bonds, we
will take advantage of every opportunity afforded to pur-
chase the assessment bonds for the market Price, which
.may be less than par, to insure the City against any
possible loss.
We are confident tSat the entire issue of $250,000.00 of
bonds sought to be issued at this time can be retired,
both principal and interest, without increasing the tax
burden on t~ taxpayers of this City.
That the bonds sought to be voted at this time will
bear interest, we are sure, not exceeding 42A%o per annum,
while the street bonds which would be retired by thi~
bond issue, bear 6%.
I hereby certify that

In Re
Answers of E. G. Warner
& W. H. Penn to the Recall.
As a member of the City Council of the City of Santa Ana
I have been served by A. G. Diehl, Chairman of the Tax-
Payers League, with a document reading in part as ~llows
"To E.G. Warner and william Penn, members of the Board of
Trustees of the City of Santa Ana, Califomia.
Take Notice that it is the intention of the undersigned
to submit a petition to the voters and taxpayers of the
City of Santa Ana for their signatttres addressed to the
Board of Trustees of said City demanding that said Board
call an election for the recall of E. G. Warner and
William Penn, m~mbers of said Board."
"The grounds of the aforesaid recall are as follows:
1. Because William Penn was never elected to the post
the people, and both he and Warner have steadfastly
to call an election to submit the candidacies of the four
appointed members of the board to the people."
Answer. This L~ a legal question to be decided by the
Courts, as to whether such an election should be called.
"~. Because the said William Penn and E. G. Warner have
lost the confidence of the public and the affairs of the
City are likely to suffer through their continuance in
office.
Answer. The voters will decide this question at the pro-
posed recall elction.
"3. Because both William Penn and E. G. Warner have neglec-
ted and refused to conhinue or support a policy of rigid
economy as desired by taxpayers of the city."
Answer. This charge is absolutely false. I supported every
economy measure for which the other councilmen voted, except
for reducing the personnel of the Police and Fire Departments.
Mr. Penn and I opposed that movement and had the loyal support
of practically every merchant in Santa Ana, also hundreds of
home owners. The safety of the homes and the people of Santa
Ana was far too great to be Jeopardized by closing fire sta-
tions and laying off Firemen and Policemen. The State Board
of Fire Insurance Underwriters notified us that if we reduced
the Fire Department by four men as proposed, they might be
forced to raise the fire t~surance rate on the entire city.
That settled that.
"4. 'Because both William Penn and E. G. Warner have suppor-
ted donations of public money to private institutions and
unless recalled they threaten to so spend further sums for
unnecessary and extravagant purposes."
Answer. It is stated that I have supported donations of
public money to private institutionst. Evidently this means
seml-pub~ic or community organizations, such as our municipal
band, our Chamber of Commerce and our two loc al ccmpanies of
the National Guards of California.
Yes: I voted to spend two cents for Music and two cents for
Advertising out of each $100.00 of assessed valuation each year
So did every other member of the City Council. So did every
former Council.
In regard to voting $200.00 to our two local companies of the
National Guards - the only reason I did not vote "Yes" this
year was because I, as M~yor, Gan only vote in case of a "tie",
and there was no "tie". The vote was three "Yes" and no "Noes"
Mrs. LeGaye not voting.
In 1931 the Council voted them $200.00; in 1932, $100.00;
in 1933 nothing, as we were cutting salaries; this year (1934)
$200.00.
After the earthquake ottr National Guards did splendid work
patroling our::streets and preventing vandalism, many making
financial sacrifices in order to do so.
"5. Because E. G. ~&rner and William Penn along with
Plummet Bruns and Fred C. Rowland, have shown they are domina-
ted by a private political group not connected with the city
government, and under their guidance the city is fast becoming
a plaything to enrich or enhance the power of these politicians
The only reason Messrs. Bruns and Rowland are not included in
this recall movement is that they have not yet held office six
months and are not yet eligible to recall under the law."
Answer. This is a serious accusation agairmt Mr. Penn, ~.
Bruns, Mr. Rowland and myself. The charge that we "are domi-
nated by a private political group not connected with the city
government" is absolutely false and has no foundation in fact.
The rest of that charge that "under their guidance the city is
fast becoming a plaything to enrich or en~hance the power of
these politicians", is a serious charge and constitutes a libel
and I hereby demand that you, A. G. Diehl, F. A. McFarren and
V~. Duncan, produce the proof of that charge, or retract it.
Vfho is this "political group" you speak of? Name them. For
you men to make such a libelous statement as you have signed
here is un-American and a cowardly thing to do, and I demand
that you furnish proof of these charges or retract them.
"6. Because Messrs. Warner and Penn, by refusing to make
desirable and necessary economies, and by showing favoritism
to friends as against the interests of taxpayers of the city,
have demonstrated thsy have not the best interests of taxpayers
at heart and will likely prevent further economies of from
$25,000.00 to $50,000.00 during the ensuring year unless
removed from office at this time."
Answer. This charge is silly and ~reposterous. I deny the
accusation.
Cause No. ~ refers solely to Mr. Penn.
"8. A further cause for the recall of E. G. Warner is that
although elected on an economy platform, he has on many occa-
sions refused to comply with the wishes ~f taxpayers but has
voted for useless and unnecessary spending of city funds"
Answer. This charge is absolutely false. The minutes of
the Council meetings will prove it.
(Signed) E.G. Warner
Mayor of"~nta Aha, Cai-i-f.
To The Voters of Santa Ana:-
The real reason an effort is being made to recall me is be-
cause I have not bowed to a very few individuals who seek to
gain control of the Cit~ Council. Because of the popular
appeal, they are aQcusing me of not practicing economy. These
assertions are false and ridiculously unfair. My answer to the charges are as follows:
As to economy, I state emphaticslly the charges are unfounded

Ordinance No. 998
Fixing Tax Rate
While serving on the Council, expenses have been greatly reduced.
For the fiscal year of 1932-3 the tax rate was $1.85 the next
year reduced to $1.79, and will be $1.T1 this year all in spite
of the reduction in an assessed valuation of 10% each year. The
per capita expense was $23.00 in 1929-30. It has bee constantly
reduced and at present is only $12.50. The entire Council worked
together for this economy.
As Fire Commissioner, my chief responsibility has been with the
Fire Department. I am proud of my record. Efficiency has been
maintained and at the same time, expenses have been cut frmm
$70,840 to $53,268. By keeping the Department on a high plane,
fire insurance rates have been held steady and every building has
had the benefit. I have fought to retain the Fire Station on West
Third Street. Had I lost, hundreds of homes would have been put
in unnecessary jeopardy.
The charge that I have supported donations to private organiza-
tions is absolutely untPue. The Advertising and Music ~ind was
voted by the people and are governmental functions. The National
Guard is a State Military Unit, controlled by the Governor. How
can these be termed private organizations?
The proponents of the recall and associates, promulgated the idea
that I am controlled by politicians. This charge is purely politi-
cal and untrue. It is a charge made by anyone who is reckless in
language and reckless of the reputation of others.
It seems extremely unfair and ridiculous to condemn a Councilman
because he has a job. Should every Councilman be independently
rich, retired and idle? At the tim~ I was appointed to the Board,
I was and still am employed by the County Welfare Department. My
duties are of a nature that have saved the taxpayers thousands of
dollars. It has also made it possible for me to bring to the Coun-
cil valuable information and cooperation relief needs. Thus, the
situation has been aided - not harmed.
I do not believe I should be criticized for earning a living
serving as a member of the City Council.
Any effort to recall me is most certainly an abuse of the recall.
It has been found it will cost $5,000, if carried on, a large
of which goes to those who find elections extremely profitable.
If the recall is successful, the change cannot ~ake place until
January. The General City Election is in April. Three Months
$5,000~ Who is the Reckless Spender?
