1T would be wen to call your attention
at this time TO certain changes In our
laws. which / think will meet with the APP
proval Of the public and be Of great bene-
ht TO this department.
Il. The sewer and curb lien law should
be amended so that a lien for a public
sewer or the setting of curb and laying
and repairing of sidewalk should be a
lien against the abutting property similar
TO city taxes and have a priority right
over any other claim.
"2. That inasmuch as often times, sew
ers are built for the benefit of certain
property owners, thereby causing the lay
ing Of a sewer IN front OF. ard liened
against unimproved property along its
route in order TO reach those demanding
same. and OF no use to the owners OF the
un.mproved property, that the law be So
amended that such property be exempt
from interest charges until said property
Is built upon and improved.

San Joaquin Basin

Sioux City, Iowa.-After much delib- eration committee of distinguished engineers chosen by California to solve the problem of protecting the valleys of the San Soaquin and Sacramento rivers from regular floods, made it's report. If successful their plan will redeem ,00O, 900 acres.
 The floods were caused primarily by deposits from hydraulic mines filling the channels. The project will cost $lOGOO, ,OOO at least. While the report is not made public, it is understood it recommends the construction of dykes to confne the water to channels, and thereby carry out the debris.
 Members of the commission who met here for conference were: Maj. M. H. Chittenden, Sioux City; Maj. T. B. Debney, engineer for the Yazoo levee district on the Mississippi, and Maj. H. D. Richardson, of New Orleans.-Reg- ister.

 Briefs From the Electric Hub of the Imperial Valley

Mrs. Gross and daughter were visitors in Holtville Wednesday.
 D. A. Wheeler has returned from spending Xmas with his family at Riverside.
 A large amount of lumber has arrived for the numerous buildings to be erected by w. F. Holt
 MT. Gross, agent at Holtville for the Holtville Interurban, has erected small frame dwelling north of the park.
 The regular annual stockholders meet ing of Water Company No. 5 will be held at Holtville next Monday, January 3. The Holtville Interurban train will go over at 8 o'clock.
 August Taecker of Watertown, S. D., has recently come into Imperial Valley to farm section of land owned bv him self and brother in the north end of No. 5. He attended the meeting at Holtville on the 18th.
 No Water Stock Sold
 Imperial Water Company No. has had three assessments, the first in De- cember, 1903, of sixty five cents per share; the second in June, 1904, of forty cents per share; the third ill December, 1904, of fifty cents per share. What is remarkable about this is the fact that no mans stock has been sold for assess ments. As much can not be said for any other company in the Imperial Val ley. This happy condition is the result of the fatherly watch care of w. F. Holt, who has found way for those who could not find it themselves to get the assessment money.

Irrigation Projects.

Below will be found statement show ing the states and territories in which the irrigation projects thus far investi- gated are situated. It will be noticed that the total cost of the projects investigated exceeds the total sum avail able, but this is not an important point, in view of the fact that the irrigation fund is growing at the the rate of about $3, ,OO0, ,000 per year and several years will elapse before any of the larger projects can be completed. The fund will in- crease with greater rapdity as soon as works are completed, for under the law, one tenth of the total cost is to be repaid to the government each year, thus creat- ing fund which may be used over and over again through as many years as the government may desire:

The reservoir will have an area of about 15O square miles and will contain approximately 100000, 100000 cubic feet, or between five and six times the capacity of the Assuan reservoir in Egypt.-Maxwell's Talisman.
