Judge Phil D. Swing was legal ad-
visor for Ell Centre exemption board.
He was chairman of the executive
committee handling the second liberty
loan campaign, was county chairman
of the Four Minute Men and a mem
ber of the county council of defense.
He rendered valiant and patriotic serv-
ice with each organization.
Responding TO the call of his flag
land country. Judge Swing temporarily
gave up his extensive law business and
entered the artillery officers training
school at Camp Zachary Taylor in
Kentucky, where he was stationed
when the armistice was declared. He

Secure Signatures
For Bond Petition

Over 1000 signatures to the high
way bond petition raising the rates
of interest in order to make the bonds
saleable and thereby permit the work
of highway construction to proceed,
were deposited with the county clerk
up to o'clock yesterday afternoon.
This total is not quite as high as
was desired, but it is creditable in
view of the fact that thousands of val
ley voters are out Of the district on
vacation and could not be reached by
those carrying round the petitions.
Those engaged in the work of col
lecting signatures have spared no eff
fort in behalf of the highway and they
are to be congratulated in that the
number was as high as 1000. Repre-
sentatives Towman and Gavin, of the
Ell Centro branch of the Southern Cal
ifornia Automobile club, worked most
energetically as soon they were told
what was required and they have been
unceasing in their endeavors. Yester-
day they went to Brawley to round up
any they could find.
Secretary S. w. Leffingwell of the
Chamber of Commerce also took time
from his office and secured so sigma
lures Tuesday and 70 yesterday over
a partly covered track.
Mr.. Cook has yet to receive the bal
ance of the petitions and it is ex-
pected that the signatures will con-
siderably exceed the 1000 mentioned

ALLOW ROSE
S $4,000 At
n NEX 7 NEE /
Referee Arthur p. Davis,
Clay Tallman, and C0un-
celor Finney Decide in
Favor of Rose. Injunction
Suit May Be Filed.

At the next meeting OF the board of
directors of the Imperial Irrigation
District, provided there is a full board
meeting, resolution will be passed
authorizing the payment to Mark Rose
Of $4,000 as claim against the dis
trict Tor his effort and labor in sur
in behalf Of the All-American canal
project.
The bill will be paid formally to the
East Side Laguna Water company, of
which Mr. Rose is president, and is the
result of the findings of the deferees
to whom the matter was referred a
few months ago.
While the legislation was pending in
Washington it became evident that
Rose would be able with others to de-
feat the proposition and that is what
he proposed to do unless he was paid
the claim upon which he insisted. The
matter reached Secretary PAYNE, who
decided that Rose had moral claim,
although perhaps not legal one, and
suggested that settlement of some
kind should be effected. The irriga-
ton district asked for referee and
Secretary Payne appointed Arthur P.
Davis. Clay Tallman and Counselor
Finney. The contents of their decision
was made public today and caused
quite sensation when it was reported.
Talk of an injunction suit to restrain
the payment from irrigation tax funds
and other reports are heard but there
will be no legal action until the bill is
actually ordered paid.

All shipments were decided upon
