ANENT THE COUNTY HIGHWAY COMMISSION

There is peculiar odor arising from the opening or
lack of opening of those highway bids last Monday In fact
to many, it is offensive
Imperial county advertised for bids 25 miles of high
way and there should have been dozen bids to
Instead there two
These two were from Warrenite companies.
There were no concrete bidders.
Why?
The county highway commission headed by F. S. Lack,
garbled the specifications the contractors could not
afford to take chance with unfrendly commission;
the concrete say this themselves.
Why were there not more Warrenite bidders.
A Joker in the proceedings prevented them-ths was
the fact that while the law required the Warren Bros
to file price agreement, was filed
Now, if no price agreement filed, how were those
two firms to bid unless they had private agreement with
Warren Bros?
is 1T NOT OBVIOUS THAT THERE WAS SOME
KIND OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THESE BID
DERS AND WARREN BROS?
Now, Imperial county is past the time when secret
agreements made behind closed DOORS when bidding in the
dark when loose specifications away honest
when all this kind of dirty politics get by.
Imperial county is past the time when it will permit
county highway commission to attempt to cram down the
throats of Imperial citizens type of road construction
to the exclusion of all other types.
The road bonds have been voted months, sold
two months and what has the highway commission done?
This what has done; created i'll feeling in all
tions of the towards itself by attempts to
certain sections and slight others Prepared after map
which favored Brawley etc. only be forced change
when public sentiment became too strong; Decided that
Warrente the road for the county although there
is royalty this type which Imperial county
afford pay; Prepared specifications which virtually
cuded concrete because Of their indefneness Failed to
comply with the requirements Of the law when advertising
for bids etc.
The record say nothing stronger, is Of ineic
ency.
Imperial Valley citizens, do you want this kind of
highway commission?
LET'S GET A NEW COMMISSION WHICH WILL
ACT AS THE SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE AND NOT
AS AN AUTOCRAT TO DICTATE ABSOLUTELY.

PO[AND'S PEACE !. :.
DEMANDS ISSUED
Immediate Cessation of Fight
ing and Freedom of Dele
gates Stipulated.

WARSAW, Aug. Y. (By the Associat-
ed Press .)-Essentials of the terms OF
peace Poland would agree to were set
forth in the note sent by wireless to
Moscow Thursday night accepting the
soviet proposal to send delegates to
armistice and peace.
The note declared that Poland was
compelled to demand formal guarantees
that the Polish delegates would be per-
mitted free and direct communication
with the Polish government by Wire
less and couriers. The government also
said that, because the soviet had pre-
viously refused to negotiate an armi-
stice. hostiities should now cease on
both sides from the moment of the
beginning of the negotiations at Minsk.
The Poles, continued the note, were
ready to conclude peace on the prin-
ciple OF national rights and would try
for such solution of all questions as
would guarantee future peace and
her neighbors.
The note stated that Poland could
not accept any terms that would be
an attack on her sovereign rights or
interfere with her international af-
fairs, and she asked an answer that
would be the basis for future peace
terms. The note added that the fact
that the first armistice negotiations
were broken off because the Polish dele
gates We're empowered to negotiate
only an armistice and not peace COM
PEELED the government to conclude that
tn soviet would make an effort to
continue military operations, and that
therefore the Russians must take all
responsibility for the continuance Of
hostilities. The Polish government was
making every effort to win the war; the
note asserted.
