 Dear Sir: was one of number of those present at the county division meetings at Imperial on Thursday, May 2d, and at Fl Centro on Wednes- day, May 9th. Not being an orator l had not the nerve to rise (to be sat up- on) at either meeting, but feel that while MT. Brown barely touched upon the advlsabilty of holding the election after we have returned from our sum- mer vacations that the fairness and justice of such step should be em- phasized by some one
 As a resident and tax payer of the Imperial valley l protest against the matter of county division, the election of set of county officers and the To- cation of the county not being put to a vote when many of those who will have to foot the bills and pay the officers salaries, will be away and, in my case, too far away to enable me to return for the casting of ballot to which ] am entitled say and say emphatical,y that in justice to all the election should not take place at an earlier date than October 18th.
 Hold the election when we are all here and allow us to go to the polls and when alone in the polling booth with our conscience and our God, cast a ballot which we individually believe to be to the best interests of the com munity in which we have made our home. Yours for fairness,
 A Taxpayer.

It also sets forth the differ ence between the two towns of Fl Centro and Imperial. the former always ready and willing to be open and above board in Its doings, while on the other hand Imperial seems bound to curtail its movements for the simple reason that the wishes of a very select few (the ring) could not be worked out in free and open meeting.

crime, rivaIling In atrocity the mys-
terious Hunchakist butcheries Of last

The latest a iscoyered victim was
an eight year old girl, and, like the
two young women murdered, she had
been saockingly naistreated before
death and the body had been mutilat-
ed when life was extinct. The three
murders are strikingly similar.
Last Thursday night a woman was
strangled in 22nd street boarding
house the next morning the body Of
an unidentified woman, who had been
choked to death, was found In an
area way in east Eightieth street.

assaulted, murdered and then her
lifeless form was horribly mutilated.
The girl left her home at $40 East
Thirteenth street last Thursday night
to play IN the street. The body was
today discovered within a block OF
4 her home and scarcely hundred
yards from the location OF the plac.

London, Aug. lin convention at
Exeter, the British Medical associa-
tion has almost unanimously support
ed the contention advanced by a
member, that sick people should be
treated at public expense.
2 In discussing the idea, points were
made that the physicians work is
now done under conditions involving
petty worries of fee collection; stress
of competitive commercialism and the
sweating of profession by hospitals,
friendly societies and similar organ
ization. Increasing the number of
cases treated at voluntary or state
aided institutions was the phase of
the movement.

BOARD DECIDES TT 1lUST BE FIRE
 PROOF STRUCTURE.
Executive Committee To Consult Man ager aud Architect and Report Their Decision To Directors
 At Future Meeting.

The proposed Lee Street annex to the New Exchange Hotel will be fire proof building, containing about sew enty-fve rooms and will cost about $6o,ooo. if the hotel company should decide to erect the addition This much was given out after a meeting held yesterday by the direct orss of the Exchange Hotel Company.
 1t was resolved that in the event 1t should be decided to build the annex n thing less than a modern, hre- proof structure would be considered. The proposition of putting up the addition received the most serious considera- ton by the directors and 1t was thor oughly discussed
 The Executive Committee of the I9o- tel Company was directed to confer with James E. Hickey, manager Of the hotel, in reference to the proposed an- nex. MT. Hickey has heretofore con- suited with an architect regarding the proposition and the two will probably confer with the Executive Committee today.
 The recommendation of the commit tee will be reported back to the hotel directors at a future meeting. No ade- auate idea of when a decision would De reached could be furnished. but it was thought likely that definite action would be taken at an early date.
 The object of the annex is to afford rooms at the rate of $1 per day. for which Mir. Hickey says there Is a great demand in Montgomery. II has been out of the question to afford rooms at that price In the present hotel, owing to its costly construction and furnishings.
 At first it was proposed to erect plain brick annex on the Lee street site. but on mature consideration the hotel directors are now practically unanimous for a fire proof addition
 Mir. Hickey said yesterday that if the annex is erected he will be able to rent its rooms at $1 per day. The rooms, he said, would be furnished precisely as the rooms in the present hotel and the accommodations would be the same. In putting up the annex, .he said. such costly esentiaIs to hotel as the lobby. various paflors and sitting rooms and writing rooms, and q dining hall, to- gether with furnishing same, will not be necessary, thereby making It possi- ble to rent the rooms at the low rate.
 The annex, he said. would be com nected to the main building and guests in the annex could go to their rooms on the elevators in use in the main mo- tel.
 It is likely that the addition will be five stories high if 1t is erected. and its finish will be similar to tn emain building. One of the most important objects in view is to have 1t complet- ed by the time of the Sta:e Fair here next fall.
 In addition to considering the build ing proposition. the directors also de- clared a satisfactory quarterly divi- dend.
