CHAMBERS TAKE
NO ACTION ON
ROSE PROBLEM

The Associated Chambers of Com
mercs adjourned last evening at the
Barbara Worth without taking action
on the feasibility Of the plan of Mark
Rose to set aside 10000 acres Of land
on the msa for the benefit of the I'M
perial Laguna Water company stock
holders.

MeY1Iqrt1, 1Irsy As,t, j. 9. Nicker-
son, J. i. Davis and others spoke for
or against the plan, az the case might
be. During the course of the vening
the question arose as to whether Mark
Rose represented the All-American
Canal Association and President Holt
of the canal association answered that
as fir as he kew Mrk Rose had no ere
dentials from the association.
Mr.. McPherrin, who has just re-
turned from Washington, spoke at
length on the things which are being
accomplished by the second delega-
ton.
President Nickerson expressed what
seemed to be the view of those pres
ent that the matter was one which
should be between the government
and Mr.. Rose and that if he had a
cotract which the government had
given him it was up to the govern
ment to say what should be done about
the matter and not up to the valley
to tell the government what to do.
The meeting had been called by
President Frank Hevener Of the Asso-
ciated Chambers st the request of the
people from Brawley to consider the
matter. Holtville and Seeley were
not represented.
The meeting later adjourned with
out ven motion being brought to a
vote.
The American Legion has taken the
attitude that the delegation in Wash
ington is competent to handle the
situation and this seemed to be the
attitude of the Associated Chambers.

Sends Letter of Instruc-
tiOns Regarding New Bill;
Congressman Kettner will
Introduce it January ).

The third committee print Of the
ketfner bill reached the city this
morning and was being thorough
ly gone over this afternoon by the
Irrigation District Board. This is
the committee print which includes
all the changes made thus far.
A letter of explanation accompanied
the copy of the bill to the Irrigation
District board explaining the exact pro.
cedure.
The new bill will not be known as
the Kettner bill and when introduced
in the house will have another number
assigned it. This was thought advis-
able because of the many protests
against II. r. 6044 which will be drop
ped by giving the bill a new number
while the endorsements of the Kettner
bill will apply to this bill as re-drafted
Representative kettner will introduce
the bill January 5. Upon it's introduction
the committee will endeavor to have it
set ahead in the house calendar and
acted upon at an earlier date than
would be the case ordinarily.
| The committee hopes to be successful
in this plan Copies of the bill have
| been sent direct to the various depart
mental heads which are interested in
the bill.

District board will have many changes
to suggest in the bill. r. d. McPher.
