to provide said water facilities for the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the City Council of the
City of Santa Aha hereby recognizes that the large majority of "Yes"
votes at said election on March 13, 1962, was the expression of
informed voters; made possible by groups of citizens within the City

news coverage afforded this Bond Election by the Register, the Los
Angeles Times, the Santa Ana Independent and KWIZ Radio Station. This
City Council recognizes that no group of electors can vote intelligently
without being adequately informed on the issue or issues presented to
them, and during this last Election the mass con~unication media, that
is, the newspapers circulated in the City and the local radio broad-
casting station, gave many inches and many minutes of news to acquaint
the people of this City with the future water needs of the City, with
the purposes proposed to be served by the proceeds of the bonds to
be voted upon and factual data about the nature of the bond issue and
the effect it would have upon the individuals residing in the City.
