bility. The committee of one can meet anywhere at any time and make up it's mind without holding a gabfest or an experience meeting, and it is in no dan ger of hurting the feelings of a mem Der by not asking his opinion. It can not report progress and ask for more time on the plea of absence of a mem- Der or inability to get together. There is no passing the buck in a game of solitaire. Each commissioner is respons- ible for the efficiency of his depart ment and for the manner in which em- ployes discharge their duty. When the board authorizes the doing of a thing and provides the means, the commits sioner has no excuse for negligence or delay. Make a man responsible for getting work done and give him sole authority, and he will see that things are done

Now it makes no practical difference whether the com missioners are elected under that title or as trustees. The main thing is to get direct individual responsibility and action. Under our State laws we can not elect commissioners and give them authority directly from the people, as in the cities having charter rights so to do, but there is nothing to forbid a board of trustees to delegate its pow CTS of supervision to committees of one and designating them as it pleases. It seems to me that we have virtually secured the main benefit of the com mission system by the very simple ex- pedient which we have adopted, and I think we shall get the city's business

The City Trustees of El Centro have been making record for doing things during the past week. Last Saturday night, at special meeting, Trustee Pellet solved the problem of efficient organization and division of labor by offering and securing the adoption of the following:
 ResoIved: That the details of man. agement of the various departments of the city administration be assigned to committees of one, which shall be re- sponsibIe to the Board of Trustees for the efficient conduct of the affairs of their departments and for the proper expenditure of moneys appropriated thereto.
 Resolved: That the chairman of the board constitute the committee on streets, to be designated as Street Commissioner, and that he appoint committees to be designated as Fire and Police Commissioner, Light and Water Commissioner, Finance Commits soner, and Health and Sewer Commis- sioner, and to whom the board may in it's discretion, refer matters pertinent or appropriate to the respective de- partments.
 Chairman Pearson thereupon named the commissioners as follows: Fire and Police Commissioner, Buttress; Finance Commissioner, Brown; Health and Sewer Commissioner, Hamilton; Light and Water Commissioner, Pellet. The chairman holds the important post of Street Commissioner, and will have plenty to do in due time
 Pellets Plan.
 Trustee Pellet explains his commis- sion plan thus: "A committee of one Is the only committee that gets busy and does things promptly. There can be no shirking of work and responsi

LARGE SHIPMENTS OF MELONS
 CAUSE SHARP FALL OF PRICES
Growers Meet to Devise Remedy for Market ReaCtiOn but Fail to Reach an Agreemen---ASSoCatOnS do Not Pull TOgether---SignS of Some Improvement in Prices,

a curtailment of the shipment of "ponies," and that special care must be taken to keep the fancy standards up to the highest mark.
 The melon growers were shown a telegram reporting the New York markets, which quoted prices for Thursday morning at from $1 to $1.75 for standards and from fifty cents to $1.25 per crate for ponies.
 This, with the knowledge that 750 carloads of stock were on the road to the same market, brought forth many endorsements of the proposition to cease shipping on June 26, 27 and 2S.
 On the other hand, opposition to this arose and the argument was made that this stoppage would demoralize the working conditions now establish ed; that the fields themselves would suffer, the laborers become scattered and the railroad equipment would not be held here at dead expense.
 However, at one time the meeting actually voted to shut off shipments for three days; then it rescinded it's action. It appears that all associa- tions in the valley, with the exception of the original melon growers associ- ation of El Centro, were willing to make this concession towards restor- ing the market But the El Centro Cantaloupe Growers Association holds contract with the H. Woods Con- pany, whereby each member is paid an advance of fifty cents per crate for every crate of his melons that passes over the packing house platform. They felt that with this guarantee from the

take their chances on the improve ment of market conditions.
 Proposed compt omIse.
 Finally, as a compromise proposi- ton, w. E. Wilsie, representing this association, made the offer that if the other distributing companies would make like guarantee of fifty cents per crate to their patrons for melons delivered, the Bl Centro association would cut off the packing of ponies and would pro rate it's shipments with the other associations of the valley.
 H. V. Platt, district superintendent of the Southern Pacific, was present and asked that some definite action be taken so that the railroad company would be able to act with enlighten- ment in the placing of refrigerator cars. He was left in the dark by the final action of the meeting
 H. B. Pearson, representing the Crutchfield & Woolfolk Company, made a statement in which he de- clared that the associations at Heber and Calexico would doubtless shut down on shipments for few days, re- gardless of the action others might take. He declared, however, that if the El Centro Fancy Melon Growers Association shut down, it must be with the unanimous action of the oth- CT melon associations of the valley.
 MT. Hale, representing H. Woods & Company, made a statement to the effect that whereas he endorsed the movement to cease shipments for three days, he in no manner would un- dertake to break his contract with the original melon association at El Gen. tro, and that if that association still desired to continue it's shipments, his company would handle them as here tofore and stood ready to pay the fifty cents advance per crate.
 By conservative management on the part of each association, 1t is possible the market may be toned up so that good returns may be received after the inevitable 4th of July slump. Latest reports indicate a slight better ment in quotations.

SEASONS MELON SHIPMENTS.

Sixty-six cars were loaded with melons on Thursday and sent out of the valley yesterday morning. This brings the shipments for the season up to 121O carloads. Probably half of the crop has reached the packing sheds.

ming eastward connect at Fourth street with a 12-inch intercepting pipe, which leads to a 16-inch outfall to the tank on the northeast corner of the townsite. From the tank a 14- inch outlet conducts the treated liouid to the place of final disposal. Opera tion of the system is automatic, and no pumping is required
 MT. Olmsteds plans provide for A pipe-system adequate to the needs of such city as El Centro promises to become in few years. As the city grows, the only addition to the system necessitated by increase of sewage will be more tanks, which may be placed readily and at no great ex. pense.
 Sewer Farm.
 Location of the place of final dis. posal will be determined by surveys and precise levels, by distance and cost of conduit line, and by cost of land. It is not a fixed point, and the city cannot be held up by greedy land owners. A forty-acre tract in section 26 has been offered to the city at $40 by MT. I. N. Stevens. It was explained to the board that MT. Stevens was not anxious to sell his land, but gave the option at a low price to help the city. If piece of land suitable for the purpose can be secured nearer the town, it will not be necessary to run a pipe line out so far as to the Stevens tract, and as the pipe line costs about dollar a foot, distance is factor to be considered
 Dr. Blackinton offers right of way along his section lines free of cost. but it is desirable to run the line dlagonally across some quarter sec. tions to save distance and get better fall, and it is hoped that owners of land will either give such rights of way or sell easements to the city at reasonable prices.
 Contract Signed
 A contract between the city and Olmsted & Gillelan was signed on Tuesday night, by authorization of the board, by Mayor Pearson and Clerk Ravens, and the complete plans for sewer system will be ready in about four weeks. City Engineer Pearson is making the detailed survey and will furnish the required data to the engi, neering firm. By the terms of the contract the engineers receive $500, in warrants on delivery of plans and estimates; $500 when bonds are sold; $500 on completion of the work. The balance of the fee is payable in month ly installments as construction work If bonds should not be voted, the engineers receive only $500. and retain the plans, the city having indefinite option to renew the agree ment and become owner of the plans at any time should it decide to 20 ahead with the work. The city engi- neer is to receive $100 of the first fee.
 There is no reason to suppose that the citizens of Fl Centro will refuse to an issue of sewer bonds, and 1t is as good as settled that El Centro will have complete, modern, efficient system of sewerage within a year.

directly upon railway orders for their
ability to keep the fires going in their
