STREET, IMPROVEMENTS
 ORDERED BY TRUSTEES
Cement Sidewalks and Curb- ing On Cross Str4etS of
 Fl Centro
Board Declares Intention to Proceed
 With Plan For Planting Shade Trees On All Streets In The County Seat.

One of the most notable improve ments proposed for the present season was that on which the El Centro City Trustees took initial action at tEeir adjourned meeting last Tuesday night. ! his was the adoption of resolutions of intention to construct cemen' side walks and curbing on principal streets of the city, covering an area which includes practically all of the most thickly settled portions of the city. It is believed that this much h-needed improvement will go forward without protest and that the necessary legal steps can be taken so as to get the work completed during the ensuing winter.
 Resolutions of intention to carry through this work were adopted for the following streets
 Fourth street, from Main to Brighton avenue.
 Fifth street, from Park avenue to Heil avenue
 Sixth street, from Park avenue to Orange avenue.
 Seventh street, from Park avenue to Orange avenue.
 Olive street, from Fourth to Fifth streets.
 State street, south side only, from Fifth street to Sixth street
 Another important matter was the adoption of a resolution of intention 10 plant trees on all streets of Fl Centro, in accordance with the pre- vious plans outlined by the City Trustees.
 The City Attorney was directed to prepare a revision of the plumbing ordinance and to prepare an ordinance fixing the charges to be allowed for deposits on gas and electric meters.
 Demands of the w. l.. Cleveland Company for $222.23 for extra fixtures for water system; the Delta Imple- ment Company for 5000 for engines for water system, and Ed. Arnael- steen, for $500 partial payment on library contract, were allowed and ordered paid.

COTTON MILL AT SAN DIEGO
Proposal to Erect Plant to Work Up
 Imperial Valley Crop.

Approval of proposition to estab- fish a cotton mill in San Diego at an outlay of $300,000 has been given by the directors of the chamber of com merce, says the Union.
 The enterprise is to be promoted by D. Howarth and H. c. Marquardt of Los Angeles and the new industries committee of the chamber of com merce. The name suggested for the concern is the San Diego Imperial Cotton mills.
 MT. Wangenheim and T. J. Lea sug- gested that the Imperial Valley pro duct should be considered. Mir. How arth said he had examined the cotton growth there and considered it the equal of any raised elsewhere.
 The Imperial cotton could be used especially when the San Diego & Ari- zOna railroad is put in operation, ' said Mir. Howarth, However, Texas cotton will most likely be used for the first year or so."

The Pumps and Engines More Than Meet the Test of
 Efficiency
Large Mains and Many Hydrants Provide Protection Against Fire. Pumps Throw Streams Over Highest Buildings. Service Connections to Be Made Immediately.

An official test of El Centro's new municipal water system was made last Wednesday afternoon, in the presence of the City Trustees and many citizens. The results gave much satisfaction to those who witnessed them.
 The Samson engines at the pumping plant, on the Date road, more than fulfilled the guarantee of the w. l.. Cleveland Company, through which firm they were furnished. They were guaranteed to produce forty horse power each. Under normal load one of them produced fifty horse power and the other produced fifty-three and two-tenths horsepower.
 The punips were connected directly with the mains and two lines of hose were attached to the hydrant at the southwest corner of Fifth and Main streets The streams shot out fully half way to the Blackington block, and other tests carried the streams about twenty-five feet above the screen loft of the Holt Opera House, which is about eighty feet high. With both pumps running in series, at lowest | SDSSu, d DlSSul Ol lOO DOulluS IO JUG square inch was developed. With single pump running to it's limit pressure of 120 pounds to the square inch was developed.
 The municipal system is now prac- tcally complete and ready for making of service connections. As soon as some material now ordered arrives, crews of men will be set at work making the service connections. The work will start on Park avenue, and will be carried systematically through the city as rapidly as possible.
 A service and inspection fee of $10 will be charged for cerrying the pipe from the main to the property line The balance of the connection will be made at the cost of actual labor and material used.
 The municipal system has thirty four fire hydrants, well scattered through the town, and about five miles of mains, ranging from twelve inch to | four inch pipes. The pump house, which is of hollow tile, with cement floor, is 30X50 feet. It contains two forty horsepower Samson gasoline engines and two two- stage Krough pumps. The five settling basins have a capacity of more than 1,000,000 gal Ions of water.
 Fl Centro's municipal water plant, as it now stands, represents an outlay of few hundred dollars less than $69,000 which was the amount of the bond issue made for the purpose of it's installation,
 Contractors for the erection of the steel tower have been delayed in be- ginning work on this structure, al- though the material is all here. Un- til the tower and tank are completed water will be pumped directly into the mains.

FAIR WORK PROGRESS
Large Force of Men and Teams En- gagged in Making Fine Half Mile
 Race Track-New Buildings.

Every day brings advancement in the plans for the Imperial County Fair to be held under the direction of the Forty-ffth Agricultural District Fair Association. The Fair dates have not yet been definitely set, but the event will probably occur about the middle of December
 At the grounds. in the eastern part of the city, Bert Irwin has corps of twenty men and more than fifty teams grading the new half-mile race track, which will be one of the finest in Southern California. Squatters on the west side of the fair grounds have been notified to move their shacks at once, to make way for the new build ings.
 Three permanent buildings will be erected this year-an exhibition hall and two structures for stock exhibits. A grand stand to seat 800 people will also be erected.
 This year the association has to de- pend entirely on subscriptions, no State money being available, but after this year State appropriations will be received.

CONSIDERING COMPROMISE
Terms of Adjustment Between Re
 ceiver and Mutual Companies.

The terms of settlement of the water rate question have been considered in detail by attorneys for the water com panies, and it is virtually agreed that the companies shall supply the receiv CT with dredge and pay rental in ad- vance with discount allowed for ad- vance payment. No. has proposed other plans, such as taking possession of the canals on the American side and operating them, or to take over the whole system under a lease and maintain and operate it and deliver water at the rate of fifty cents an acre foot. The proposal of No. 1 was presented to the court yesterday af- teTnOon as an assurance of that com panys confidence that the system may be operated and improved with the revenues derived from water rentals and without increasing the rate. There is no expectation that any such proposal will be accepted In fact the proposition of lease was rejected as impossible to consider before the offer was made in court.

WATER DIRECTORS MEET
Discuss Compromise With Receiver
 and Pass it Back to Attorneys.

Directors of the mutual water con- panies held a meeting in the court house last Wednesday to consider the proposed arrangement with the re- ceiver of the c. D. Go. to obyate a raise of water rates and abrogation of contracts, the gist of which is that the mutual companies buy a hydraulic dredge and lease it to the receiver and that they pay rentals in advance and square up arrearages. As some of the companies are involved in liti- gation over rentals. it was diiliculC for all to agree upon plan, and many strange suggestions were made. The secretary of No. 6, who offered the receiyership to w. F. Holt by wire last summer, did a large share of the talking and would be satisfied with nothing but a new receiver He said the presen, receiver had wasted all the money supplied to him, and the valley had got nothing for the money but two shortages of water. (No ap- plause.)
 George Reid director of No. i, was as yoluble as usual but less violent in denunciation of everything and every body. He paid glowing tribute to his own business sagacity and exc cutiye ability, as shown in manage ment of the affairs of Mo- 1, and de- clared himself willing to take chance on managing the whole works, He was alone in his optimism,
 The meeting served to bring out some things that had not been clear to many directors. but was seen that no definite action could be taken until the attorneys should come to an understanding, and the whole matter was referred to the attorneys for the | mutual companies.
