Trustees of El Centre
And Imperial to Meet
Tonight; Sewer Question

great septic tanks is the only remedy
and that whatever is done must be
done in the immediate future as the
rapid growth of the city makes it
necessary that the city take care of
the sewer situation with all dispatch
and while so doing prepare for the
years to come.
In the matter of running the sew
age of the two cities into New river,
legal advice has been given that the
city should not undertake to enter
into such project, as complications
would likely develop, as it is unlaw-
full to contaminate running stream
with sewage. Advocates of the joint
sewer system, however, contend that
the water in New river is already con-
taminated and is not used for any
purposes whatsoever, not even for ir-
rigation. Again, legal advice is that
it would create an open sewer and
that the farmer along the route would
contest such action.
The septic tank method has proven
in many cases to be the only ade-
quate system for sections of the coun-
try where little or no fall can be Sc
cured. This method, when once in
stalled, is also said to be self-sus-
tanning, as the expenses of the OPP
Grafton of the plant can be more than
covered by the sale of the residue to
farmers as fertilizer and the water
turned into stream without fear of
contamination.
Whatever system is decided upon
by the trustees, after exhaustive in
vestigations by competent engineers
and authorities, will be placed before
the voters at the spring election for
the voting of bonds to install a great
sewer system that will take care of
the situation for years to come.

On invitation the al Centro Board
of Trustees will e4t with the Impe-
rial City Board this evening. in I'M
perial, fSr the purpose of going over
the sewer situation with The view of
attempting to unite On sewer syS-
tenn with an outlet in New river. City
Engineer Funk of Imperial met with
the local board last evening and ex-
tended the invitation on behalf OF the
sister city.
For some time past Engineer Burk
of this city and Engineer Funk have
been going over the situation and a
tentative plan is ready for the dis
cussion of the two boards. This plan
is to run this city's sewage to the east
and connect with large main on the
Dogwood canal road. This main will
follow the Dogwood to the northern
limits of Imperial and thence bear to
the northwest, emptying into New
river about four miles from Imperial.
The engineers estimate that between
25 and 80 feet fall can be secured
bv following this route. Although a
resurvey of the territory has not been
made by the local engineers, the fact
that this fall can be secured is evil
dent from a recent survey of the
country by Water Company No. l.
The approximate cost of this main
sewer is estimated to be close to
100000. Of this amount Ell Centro
would bear about $4,000, the cost
of construction of the main to 1mpe-
rial city limits and a portion of the
cost from there on.
After weeks and weeks of investi-
cation members of the board have
been convinced that either this plan
of large main sewer in conjunction,
or alone, or the installation of several

Socialism Central
Issue Says Taft
Omitted Press Day. Service)

Philadelphia, Feb. 11.-Socialism Is
the central political issue to which
the country is coming, according to
ex-President Taft in an article on
"The Future of the Republican Party"
in this weeks issue of the Saturday
Evening Post.
He declares his party is not done
for, but its greatest work lies ahead
in combating this doctrine and to Tres
cue the. country from the serious dan
ger to which it is exposed in this at
tempted undermining of stable civil
liberty"
He refrains from using the personal
pronoun in reference to his recent
candidacy, but admits that the Repub-
lican candidate did not prove strong
vote getter, due largely to misrepre-
sentations of his personality and Gun
:air accounts" Of the Chicago conven-
tion.
He believes only,those believing in
the Progressive platform will adhere
to the Progressive party, and says:
"The truth is the Progressive party
was born in moment of passion and
lived in excitement that cannot be
maintained permanently"
q If the Democratic administration
proves a success, he expects to see
Wilson reelected. He says Wilson
has established a party leadership and
maintained discipline in manner that
commands admiration.
Taft speaks favorably of the Dem
ocrati administration. He does not
believe in the things it is doing, but
he expresses satisfaction that it is
fulfilling the platform pledges. Re-
garding the possibility of reunion of
Republicans with those who voted for
Roosevelt in 1912, he agrees that
those who sincerely endorsed what
their candidate preached are ineligible
for Republican party membership.
Getting down to Socialism, he says:
at makes no difference how sim
cere Mr.. Roosevelt is in his protest
that he is opposed to Socialism, with
the doctrines he advocates and the at
titude he occupies and his promises,
he is moving toward Socialism as sure
as water runs down hill. That is the
bold, naked issue that is forming and
which will be disclosed"

Naming Street
Bothers Trustees

The filing of two petitions with the
city board Of trustees for the nam
ing of certain portions of the exten-
sion of Adams avenue was the cause
of considerable discussion at board
meeting last evening. One of the pc
titioners asks that that portion, now
known as Mulberry lane be changed
to Cuyamaca drive, and a second pc
tition requested the board to call the
extension of that road, from Seventh
to Eighth, Wiltshire boulevard. The
petitions were laid on the table and
the petitioners advised to call meet
ing of all of the property owners and
agree on some name and then place
the matter before the board.
The proposition to give the extern
sion the name of Adams avenue, or to
rename the entire avenue with fancy
name, has met with strong opposition
on the part Of some of the influen-
tial citizens of Ell Centre. 1t is the
contention that Adams avenue was so
named in honor of one of the pioneers
