Trustees Make Definite Move Toward Construction of
 Municipal System.

Last Tuesdays session of the Fl CentrO City Trustees was attended by all members of the board, and the outcome of the evenings business was the taking of decisive steps towards putting the municipal water system proposition on practical basis, where the voters may be shown exactly what is proposed to be done under the direction of an engineer experienced in the construction of water plants in Southern California.
 The first part of the session was taken up with a discussion of the proposition to use the citys streets for the laying of gas mains. City Attorney Ansel Smith gave the board his opinion that at the present time it was not necessary to take any action, as the gas company was proceeding under it's rights acquired through the provisions of the State law, and that the granting of fran chise was unnecessary.
 He said that the officials and man agers of the gas company had stated that it is their intention to replace the sections of street opened for their pipe laying in the most workman like manner, and the statement was made by one of the Trustees that the com pany is willing to deposit a bond for the fulfillment of such a provision if 1t Is deemed desirable by the Board, The work at all times will come un- der the supervision of the Street Su- perintendent

VICTOR RIVERS TRIAL

The case of the people against Vic tor Rivers, charged with the murder of Domingo Quiroz, last February and which has been given it's second trial at Fl Centro for the past two weeks, went to the jury about 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon. The jurors con- sidered the case until after midnight, and took it up again early yesterday morning. During the afternoon they asked for the reading of portions of the evidence. At the time of going to press the jury is still out, and it appears probable that no verdict will be reached.
