amount.
This will give the people of FL Gem

to the community. The establishment
of comfort station in the city is an
absolute necessity This the writer
unQuallfledly contends to be fact,
and an economy which will deny the
people that convenience is not wise
course to pursue.
THE writer's attention has been
called to the fact that many of the
good ladies of this town have COM
planned to the city trustees that there
Is no public fountain. The writer's of
sad letters have very likely over
looked the fact that the board Of
trustees of FL Centre Public Library
furnished very nice sanitary foun-
tam in the entrance of the Library
building, and for which they have had
to supply from leo to $50 pounds of
lee per day during the summer sea
son. aid fountain is used by a large
percentage of the patrons of the Ii
brary and many school children, and
that the same has been patronized by
an average of about 800 persons and
school children daily during the sum-
mer months. Further. there is i'm con-
necton with the library, gentlemen's
toilet, lavatory and paper fowls sup
pied; also a toilet, lavatorY. towels
and a looking glass supplied for the
ladies'. Taking it all in all, the writer
Is much surprised that these convent
ences seem to be so little known
thought of by many of the person
who advocate the establishment of
comfort station.
ALLOW the writer to say that tn

do all that they caT consistently to
wards obtaining a suitable rest room
but they, like the writer, will lust a
perSlstently and = consistently insis
that the proper place for such an es
tabl.5hment is in the Library building
or on the Library grounds The writ
er does not wish to be placed in the
position of opposing the sale of the
SIX State street lots belonging to the
Ten Thousand Club, but will certainly
oppose the appropriation of $4,000 or
any other sum bv the city for the pur-
chase Of SAID property for that pur-
pose If the city has any funds to Law
out for said cOnvenienceS, the proper
place for them is upon the Library

"Now. if you were to come to this

conveniences of a comfort station.
where would YOU look to find them?
Is it not more likely that you would
look TO the Library building, where
nineteen-twentieths of such establish

that impresses the writer is that the

to settle upon the one site. and to

WO Suffer Broken
E0liar HOncs.

The question of city providing a
rest room for women and children
coming from the country is again un-
der discussion, and everybody recog-
nizeS the need.
The members of the Women's Ten
Thousand Club have asked that the
city buy six lots on State street from
the club for $4,000, to be used for this
purpose
President Simmons of the Public
Library board now calls attention to
the fact that the city already owns
property adjoining the Library which
is well adapted to this purpose. and
urges a rest room in connection with
the Library. Following is his letter
to the Press:
editor Imperial Valley Press
/ Dear Sir: The writer has noted with
some degree of pleasure the enthusi-
asm with which certain people are en-
dOrsng the purchase of a comfort sta
ton, whereby strangers may have the
conVCniences afforded by Il place of
/ thai character. 1t may not be out of
place for the writer to state that this
lis no new subject to The board of tlus-
tees Of the FL Centre Public Library,
who had laid the matter before the
city trustees over year ago, and
again last August. with Il request that
the city trustees in turn make an ap-
preparation while they were making
up the annual budget for the library
to permit the establishment of such d
tgt. - ctg IN, hn I
! ing. The writer on August 27. 1918.
wrote to A. w. Swanson, president,
and the members Of the board of the
City of El Centre, a letter, in part
as follows:
"It is the intent if we had the
funds to put into the building a
comfort station for men and women,
which can be entered from the outside.
You gentlemen will understand that
there are very many ranchers who
come to town with their families and
we should make proper accommoda-
tions for their convenience Money so
expended will certainly be Of untold
value to the business interests of tho
city
while the board has been endeavor-
ing to give the people of FL Centre
the best service possible, they have
been hampered for lack of funds. The
July budget carries 81 900 less than
we were allowed > years previous.
Notwithstanding The fact that we had
to pay some S1,400 for repairs to the
building, owing 20 the earthuaks, and
this has been accomplished by the ut
most economy. We find on bringing
down the title to the property that
the board of trustees of the FL Cen
tro Public Library are the owners of
the lots adjoining the Library site
and it is the intention that the same
shall be used for library and park pur-
poses, which is undoubtedly the intent
of the board who on October 10, 1910,
made the purchase of said lots. We
have an item of S400 to pay ON ac-
count of the purchase price of said
