and would be included in the new
| county; because l want taxation so
| equalized and kept within the bounds Of
! reason as to make it possible for me to
| keep what have and stay here"
| Thus it may be seen that San Diego.
| from which the county of Riverside
would get the greater portion of her ter
ritory, is in favor of the orange center as
| a county seat.
The new county as proposed will in
clude an area of lob square miles, with
! boundaries as follows: Beginning at the
| common corner OF the counties OF Orange
and San Bernardino, on the westerly line
of San Diego County; thence southwest
erly along the line between Orange and
San Diego Counties to the point of inter-
section of said line with the northern
! boundary line of Santa Margarita
Rancho, situated in the county of San
Diego; thence southeasterly following the
northerly line Of the said Santa Margarita

said line with the second standard paral-

northerly along said river to the north
east corner of the county of San Diego;
thence westerly along the northerly line

! This boundary would take from San
Bernardino an area of only 500 square
miles and population of s, Jas, leaving in
/ this great division 20,4l0 square miles,
and population of II 1852.

county will lose AIS square miles of ter
ritory and $500 OF her population, and yet

will take an assessed valuation of S., 7OO,-
