Abolition of Poll Tax
Causes Complications

Unless some special provision is
made in the near future Imperial
county will face two serious problems
the problem of securing corps of
deputy assessors and the replacement
of sum of money for the school
fund that in the past has been derived
from the school poll tax. The abo-
lition of the school poll tax voted on
at the recent election is said to be
the cause of both difficulties.
In the past deputy assessors have
received salary of 800 per month,
but because the collectors have been
obliged to bear their own expenses
when working in outlying districts
they have in the past been allowed
a commission of Is per cent on all
poll tax collected, which, it is said
amounts to approximately 5000
monthly during the few months the
assessors are in the field. But with
the abolition of the poll tax the coun-
ty assessor will probably find himself
il a quandary. With monthly ex-
penses ranging from $50 to $75, there
will be some difficulty in securing the
services Of deputy assessors, as the
stipulated salary is only 500 pei
month, which leaves a narrow OPP

Wall Street Busy.
(By Broadan WalD

New York, Dec 12.-When cheer
fulness takes the aggressive, fear
abandons its trenches. The retreat
yesterday turned into rout. Sell
ing orders were cancelled and buyers,
hoping to anticipate the effect of a
return of public confidence, found diff
ficulty in securing stocks, although
their bids were advanced sharply
above the recent quotations.
Attempts to buy stocks through the
clearing house resulted in the heavi-
est business witnessed since the close
of the exchange, and the stock ex-
change found it necessary to issue
orders that all transactions must be
put on the clearing house sheet and
cleared in the usual manner on Mon
day.
The bond market was strong with
activity in the speculative issues. Mis-
souri, Pacific as were a feature, ad-
vancing to 43A, gain of IL. Other
Missouri Pacific issues were strong

Grating margin. No solution of this
problem has yet been offered, but it
is believed it will result in an increase
of salary for deputies.
That the abolition of the school poll
tax will be a great loss to the coun
ty schools was the statement of SUI
perintendent of Schools Cooley, AL
ready the state board of education is
considering number of plans, he
said, and will probably decide upon
some campaign of action within
short time.
Under the present arrangement
each school district, in addition to
yearly allowance of $3.50 for an
attendance of 35 pupils under one
teacher, is allowed $13 to each schol-
ar, the latter being determined by the
average attendance. Schools with a
larger attendance than 80 pupils re
ceive allowances proportionately
larger. To circumvent the loss en-
tailed by the abolition of the tax it il
the plan of the school board to either
increase the yearly allowance from
the state and county taxes to $3.50,
dependent upon an attendance of 80
pupils, or to increase the present all
lowance Of $l3 to each scholar TO $i5.

The city trustees are working out
plans for the biggest work ever un-
dertaken here, which is nothing less
than a new sewer system, which will
lead from Ell Centro past Imperial
to New river at point northwest of
the latter town.
Frank Olmstead, the chief sewer
special engineer of the Southwest, is
in town and will meet with the trus-
tees in a special session this even
ing.
Mr.. Olmstead designed the present
sewer system, of which he does not
feel particularly proud, having been
so limited at that time by the resour-
ces of the town that only tempo
rary work could then be done. When
this system was laid out Ell Centre
had but 600 population and the bond
ing and taxing capacity was so low
that only the cheapest possible sys-
TEN could be laid. That was but six
years ago, and in that time the town
Imperial Valley press., 1914-12-12
Working Out Plans for
New City Sewer System

has grown to twelve times its popu-
lation then.
1t is not strange that the sewer
system built at that time should prove
wholly inadequate now, and it is big
task the city has facing it to provide
the sewer system needed, not only at
this time, but for the future with the
great continued increase in popula-
ton.
1t is thought that Imperial will
eventually wish to join with Ell Cen
tro in the use of this system, though
not now ready to do so.
The bonding capacity of Ell Centro
now justifies the building of the sew
er, and it is believed there will not
row be any difficulty in selling the
bonds for the work.
Owing to the topography of the
country, it is thought it will be neces
sary to lay the sewer westward a
half mile, thence northward to Inn
rerial and northwestward to the river.

Will Become Effective.

San Francisco, Dec. 12.-One week
from yesterday at midnight the anti
prize-fight and redlight abatement
laws will go into effect. Frank Jcr-
dan, secretary of state, announced
that he would certify to the passage
of these laws, as well as to that of
the old laws passed and officials elect
ed at the gubernatorial election, next
Sunday, December Is.
Sunday is the fortieth day after the
election, on which the political code
requires the secretary of state to
make his election certifications.
Five days later all initiative and
referendum acts go into effect and
all other measures go into effect inn
mediately.
