Banks Weather
Deflation Period

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3.-Not
zone California bank succumbed to the
strain of the deflation period and
Iclosed its doors for an instant. de-
clared Jonathan S. Dodge of the state
banking department in his annual re-
port to Governor William d. Steph-
Iens, made public today.
California ranks as the fifth sound
est banking territory in the United
States, he said. Fifty per cent of
the states population owns accounts
in the savings banks, it was estimat-
ed in the report. In all of the United
State only one person in ten is a bank
depositor.
Agricultural and business enter
prise was aided in every way possible
by the banking houses, Mr.. Dodge fur
ther says, and an era of greater pros
perity is dawning. He asserts in the
report:
1--WE stand at the beginning of a
new life. The Federal Reserve Bank OF
San Francisco has proved itself to be
q shock absorber lor the banks of the
state. The artificial expansion due to
the war is disappearing"

APPROVES BRAWLEY
ROAD BONDS

There is decidedly better feel
ing among the road enthusiasts by
the reason of the fact that state en-
eineers are surveying between FL
Centre and Brawley and between
and Brawley. 1t is
taken as am indication that the State
Highway Commission proposes to do
construction work within the irriga-
ton district this winter. The County
Highway Commission already has lis
plans we'll advanced for the conssruc-
tion of pavement in various dis
tricts in addition 20 that between
Caipatria and Brawley. the contrac'-
for which was signed yesterday.

CONFERENCE
WITH Ian D
GO N P A n Y .
IL TOMORROW
Irrigation District Board
Approves Contract for
Continuation of Pescade-
no Cut with Few Minor
Changes.

At special session of the Imperial
Irrigation District this morning, the
directors approved, with few slight
changes, the contract drafted last
week between the Colorado River
Land Company and the Imperial Irri-
cation District. The signing of this
instrument gives tn. Irrigation D.s-
trict the right to contipEe with the
construction work at Pescadero cut,
all objections previously advanced
by Harry Chandler, ct al, being with
drawn.
The contract provides that the I'M
rerial Irrigation District shall main
tain the Ockerson leyee above the Bee
river, and the Volcano Lake levee,
while the Colorado River Land Com
pany promises and agrees to main
tain the Saiz levee.
Director McPhe rrin will leave
this evening for Los Angeles, where
he will be in conference tomorrow
with the electors of the Colorado
River Land Company on the signing
Of the contract. 1t was stated at the
district offices this afternoon that il
was thought no trouble would he c<-
perenced in getting the contract sign
ed due to the changes made today by
the district board.
The board also took UP the matter
of the Coachella Valley Water Dis
trict, withdrawing its request for a
hearing on the Investigations conduct
ed under the Kinkaid act and toward
which the district has now paid one
hundred thousand dollars, with the re-
suit that the following telegram was
sent to the Secretary of the Ineror:
Ell Centre, Calf,
Nov. 3, 1921, ~ Noon.
Hon. A. d. Fall,
Secretary of the Interior,
Washington, d. C..
This board is unofficially advised
that Coachella Valley County Water
District has withdrawn it's request for
hearing upon the report of investi-
cations conducted under the Kincaid
Act transmitted to you by Director
Davis. We hope that this action by
that board will not be deemed as con-
elusive on this district as we still be-
lieve that best progress will be made
if the hearing is had as contemplated
at an early date some place in the
southwest, our preference being San
Diego. Every interest and COM
munity affected by the proposed de-
velopment should have opportunity
then to be fully heard. We filed no
formal protest to the report when
submitted, but signified our desire al
that time to be fully heard in connec-
ion with the protest filed by Goa
chella Valley County Water District,
and ",deve!opmentsso since that time
seem to us to require such public
hearing. We hope that definite date
viii, be fixed as suggested in your
wiye Of, October 18th.

President Imperial Irrigation Dis.
