there.
For this drive El Centre and Calexi-

(2). The sos, 900 and above the purchase
price of the existing plant is necessary to improve
the plant and extend the service pipes into new
parts of the city that house in town can be
served with gas. 1t also covers the cost of nstala
tion and the renewal of several pieces of machinery
that must be replaced SO that waste can be min
mized.
(3) Revenue from the sale of gas will be suffi-
cient to pay all operating expenses including the
interest on bonds and possibly the sinking fund as
negligible if anything at ALL Cities do not have to
pay corporation taxes, income taxes, city, county or
state taxes. do they have to profit in
addition to interest investment, etc. Cities also
buy materials at lowest prices and otherwise run
public utilities at saving.
a.. From the standpoint of civic pride and 10y
atty it will be fine thing for Ell Centro to be able
to point to we'll conducted municipal gas service
as an nducement for home builders to select this
town in which to live.

Gas Bond Election is
Coming Up Next Friday

On Friday of this week Ell Centro voters will
decide whether not shall purchase the old gas
plant and make it into first class gas manu-
factory at expense of s125,OO0.
Although the people we'll posted on the matter
the Progress believes that still in the dark
on the subject. Here few facts connected with
the issue that everybody ought to know:
a. The value the city is getting for $50 900 Is
above that sum. This fact was established by the
Chamber of Commerce. The real estate, buildings
and good machinery the lot can be sold for more
than the city is paying Mr.. Holt. Therefore that
part of the bond issue is bargain.

Ell CENTRIC WILL BENEFIT FROM GAS SERVICE
dtoriaL In Ell CentroP

(5) From the standpoint of the housewife-the
women who do the cooking here in, the hot summer
months-they are unanimous for gas and every
woman in town knows just why.
%. Ell Centre cannot take any backward STEP
If this matter is not settled in favor of gas it
tunty to get a 100000 plant going at cost of
$125,00O passes with next Fridays election. the
bonds fail Mr.. Holt will dismantle the plant and sell
it off piecemeal-and get more than $4,000 for it.
Then will have to go to, worh, and spend over
100000 to get gas and not have any more than we
can get now for 68 per cent of that amount.
The Chamber of Commerce at a big meeting voted
a to in favor of the bonds. The Woman's Ten
Thousand Club voted unanimously in favor OF the
bonds.
Remember that
Nearly everybody is favorable to the issue:
But two-thirds vote is necessary next Friday

ficit, making it an economic impos-
sibility in many instances for the
housewife to have flowers, lawns ana
trees. The women first paid the
price in impaired health and incon-
venience occasioned by water so
muddy that it would scarcely run
through the fawcets and later in sac
rifice in things essential to their COM
fort and pleasure.
They were denied a municipal rest
room and meeting center that could
have been had without cost because
of this same parsimonious policy that
impaired the water system and Gre
ated the deficit which was assessed
against the homes of the valley by the
present board.
Nut the women do all of the econo-
nizing?
They need the gas in their business
of home making. 1t is not an ex-
travagance or a luxury, but an es-
sential commodity. 1t is sad ira
vesty on our city when an attempt is
being made to round up the eastside
vote to defeat the will of the good
women of the city, who have endured
-the heat and the dust and inconveni-
ence of living in new community
with patience and forbearance. The
politicians who are working against
the interest of these women, should
be rebuked for their perfidy at the
polls tomorrow. Good men and true
as well as women voters should see
that it is done.
1t is imperative that every friend
of the gas bonds register his vote to-
morrow. A two-thirds vote is es-
sential and the opposition is organ
lied and determined. Agents of own
ers of rental property whose families
are living in cities that have such con-
veniences as a matter of course, have
been busy these last days. Opponents
TO every proposition which means
progress, have stirred up their follow
ing, and as has been said before, poll
ticians and selfish business interests
are bidding for the vote of the east
side. Honest objectors there are,
whose opinion is entitled to respect
and consideration; of these last there
is no criticism. But as women, we
appeal this last time to their sense
of right and justice in the matter
Most of them believe in the promise
that if the bond issue fails, another
will be voted soon. The city will be
in no better position to vote gas
bonds after water bonds are voted
than it is to vote them before the
water question is disposed of. 1t is
only a subtefuge of the real opposi-
tion calculated TO win support. The
city has a bonding capacity at this
time quite sufficient to take care of
both propositions and leave a safe
balance for any emergency that may
arise in the near future. If we wait
we lose in money that may be saved
in buying the present plant at the
low estimate, far more than the cost
in added taxation if any will amount
to in the meantime. 4
