The following interviews indicate
the attitude of number of business
men toward the proposed irrigation
and good roads bond issues which will
be put to a vote on July l. The
Press invites similar terse statements
from others either for or against the
proposed issues:
J. X. Hermon. President Security
think that the reduced cost of motor
carriage as the result of good roads
would cover the total expenditure
within two or three years.
Ray Edgar-So far as the nriga-
ton bonds are concerned, there is
nothing else to do. The saving on
wear and tear on automobiles result
ing from good roads will be greater
than the interest and sinking fund to
retire the principal of the bond issue.
If the people of Imperial Valley don't
wake up on the State Highway some
thing may drop on them.
J. G. Cash, Southern Trust and
Commerce Bank-We have to have
water, and good roads are good in
Eestment at almost any price.
George Varney-We must have the
irrigation development and good
roads are absolutely essential to trade
and communal development. Just
yesterday | drove over roads so bad
that the cost of truckage must be
four times what it ought to be.
Leroy Holt-We cannot afford to
take any chances on inadequate pro
lection against floods nor on the de-
velopment of our water supply. There
can be no better investment than good
roads. They have paid for them
selves everywhere in reduced wear and
tear on vehicles and cost of getting
products to market.
George Anderson-The state seems
to have made it obligatory uron us
to vote the county road bonds issue.
James Cook cannot see how any
true Valley booster can register a
negative vote on either proposition.
Good roads mean greater travel, more
business, less costs. To vote "Yes"
for the irrigation bond issue is but
to prevent embarrassment and to aid
the progress of our greatest public
service insttution-the Irrigation
District.
Charles Johnson-To vote Eyes" on
the coming bond issues, not forgetting
the issuance of state bonds, is vote
fer progress. We need good roads
in this county over everything else

SPECIAL VOTE
ON DISTRICT
BONDS TO Be
MIDDLE JULY
Tentative Date Upon Which
Judgment Will Be Passed
on Big Bond Issue Lies
Between July Is and 21.

The probable date for the special
election on the question of the issu-
ance of a 50, 100000 bond issue by
the Imperial Irrigation District is
July 20 to 21. This was the opinion
expressed today bv persons in close
touch with the District offices.
The board to a man is in favor of
calling the vote for the earliest pos
sible date, and, as approximately 26
days must elapse from the time of
legal step calling the election,
this would carry the probable date
up to the period of July Is to p.
The law requires the elapse of 21
days between the time Of the issu-
ance of the call and the elction date.
Five days time is also required for
the posting of the official notices in
every part of the county.
The above dates are tentative and
are based on the assumption that the
requisite number of signatures to the
petition for the special vote are sub
mitted to the hoard at its next regu-
lar session on Tuesday Of next week.
A check this morning disclosed that
between $50 and 700 persons had
signed the petitions to date and that
these persons represent q total prop
erty valuation of $3,000,000. The pc
titicn must represent a property val
uation of $6,000,000 under the law.
J. d. Adams, business man and
rancher Of the Brawley district, who
has been a volunteer worker, was this
morning appointed supervisor .in
charge of the circulation of the petit
tions. He is certain that his task
will be completed by next Monday
evening.
Between twenty-five and thirty
workers, the greater majority of
them volunteers, are now in the field
and are daily signing up several score
business men, residents and property
owners

the law would not habitually allow

many of the workers had already re-

In little workshop in the rear of
his home, Fudge" Moore, an Ell Cen
tro boy who has been long service with
the Signal Corps Aviation section of
the United States army, is building
a machine which represents the ma
terialization of a five-year dream.
1t is new type of airolane, de-
signed to do away with the necessity
of having landing stages and landing
fields. Already the story of his idea
has been circulated far and wide and
as result a wealthy Seattle man
is expected here shortly to inspect the
machine with the idea of backing the
venture as a manufacturing enter
prise.
The Moore invention provides for
an automatic control and release of
the spread or wings of planes. AS
soon as the machine strikes terra
firma the wings automatically fold up
and permit the plane to be operated
on the highways as a sort of automo-
bile.
Aside from the possible commercial
value of his invention, Mr.. Moore,
who is known here as q prize fighter
and pogilistic promoter, is after a
government prize offered to the per-
sons who will perfect device or sys-
tenn that will do away with he many
delays and mishaps to which the air
planes commonly succumb,
In describing his invention, Mr.,
Moore today said:
"Aeroplanes at the factory when
completed are put together and test
ed, after which they dismantale same
and crate for shipmen. This system
represents much time, labor and
transportation to the depot
