VALUE OF 1919
COTTON CROP

With the picking season well advanc-
ed and the prospects of high prices
held forth earlier in the season being
realized, cotton men are making pre-
dictons as to the value of the crop
grown in the Imperial valley. includ-
ing that grown on lands across the
line.
The estimates of many who are in
a position to form accurate opinions
agree that the crop of this year will
amount to between $4,000 and $4,000
bales. Estimating 500 pounds to the
bale, at the present quotations, a bale
of cotton is worth 5000. This means
1000, 900 to $4,000 900 for the cotton
alone.
Every 500-pound bale of cotton yields
better than 1000 pounds of seed. Cot
ton seed is now selling at $40 ton,
making the seed from each bale worth
$35. The total value of the seed. on
this basis, is $2,975,O0o to s3,325,O0o.
Added to the value of the cotton, the
total value is S19,975,O00 to $22, 900.
This, cotton men insist will be very
near the amount of foreign on outside
money actually brough tinto the Valley
and distributed among cotton growers
and others engaged in the industry

LOCAL OFFICE
DECISION UPHELD

The general land office, Washington
d. c., upheld the local land office in its
decision in the case, Lauman VS.. Lau-
man, over the homestead land taken
out by George w. Lauman, the defend
ant of the case.
The charge was brought up by Ewing
Lauman, brother, claiming that
George w. Lauman, had not fulfilled
the pledge he made before the officers
of the land office, in so far as the land
had not been improved to the extent
that it should have been. The defend
ant was able to impress upon the court
here that he had improved the land
and worked on it sufficiently to claim
it as his own. The case was then re
ferred to the general office in Washing
ton and the decision of that court wa.
received this morning

CITY COUNCIL
WILL ISSUE
BOND CALL
v ED
City Will Be Unable to Bond
Itself for More Than $780,
600; Two Plans forNater
Improvement Before City

The city cqlncVnext Wednesday
evening will ifsy/the call for a large
bond issue eNo6on for the city of FL
Centric. If the call is not formally
made at that time, the council will
adjourn for a few days and issue the
call later.
This has been decided upon. En-
gineer Rice, former supervisor and
county surveyor, who is preparing the
estimates, has submitted report to
the city council dealing with the water
problems of the city and first esti-
mates on the two plans presented.
Two Plans
The first plan for better settling
basins near the city, he estimates will
tcost $40 600. The. second plan, that of
bringing the water from settling
basins on the banks of New river, a
distance of seven miles, will cost the
city close to $4,000.
Mr.. RICE has promised to have final
estimates in at the next meeting,
which will be Wednesday. November
26, or, if he cannot then, within three
days. The council has agreed to take
action that evening or adjourn for a
later report, if necessary, and take
action then.
Cut Size of Issue
The first estimates on the size of
the bond issue to be called for are in
excess of the bonding capacity of the
city, according to Attorney j. S. La
rev, who states that the bonding ca
pacity is approximately $1SO,O00.
This will mean in the opinion of
Councilman William Reams and others
of the council that the first estimates
will have to be cut considerably. The
projects up were new fire alarm sys-
tenn, new city hall, new stadium, new
water system, new lighting system.
The water system comes first, IN
the opinion of members of the coun-
Gil, and this will be given preference.
Just what projects will be eliminated
remains to be seen, but it is prob
able that the new city hall and stad-
ium will go before any others.
