Organization to Promote Growth and
 Prosperity of El Centro.

The man who travels to any pur- pose is he who has a destination. The idle haphazard wauderer starts for nowhere and that is where he lands. Same with communities. To hit any thing, one must have an aim. There are citizens of El Centro-lots of them-who are sure that the census destination of the city is a place in the five figure column, and they think they can facilitate progress toward that goal by getting together and talk ing interest and active part in public affairs. Wherefore they have decided to form the "El Centro Ten Thousand Club"
 The club will be organized at a meeting to he held at the supper table in the Palm roof garden next Monday night at : o'clock. and thereafter the club will meet weekly at luncheon or dinner, as may be most convenient, discuss civic affairs. listen to speak CTS on topics of special interest and transact business. All reputable per sons may join the club, and it is ex- pected that public-spirited women of El Centro will become members and take part in the promotion of what ever is good for the community.

He was authorized by the board to order the apparatus at once and to solicit subscriptions from property owners to help pay for it.

He announced that he would give twenty-four hours per sonal notice, and then take into court all who should fail to obey the law
 Police Commissioner Buttress was instructed to confer with the county supervisors concerning the care of city prisoners in the county jail.

It was reported to the board that large quan- titles of gasoline and oil are kept in close proximity to buildings and under conditions which are a constant men, ace to the city. MT. Holt said he had just been notified that insurance on his buildings in Brawley had been can celed because a business concern in that town was found to have half a carload of gasoline stored in it's build ing. The careless business concern not only jeopardizes it's own property but deprives it's neighbors of insur- ance protection. MT. Holt says he will put up no more buildings in the valley towns until ordinances properly regu- lating the storage of combustibles are passed and enforced.
