Especial to The Press)

SACRAMENTO, March 30-Tht
senate today began one Of the liveliest
battles of the entire session when the
report of the joint committee on the
budget came up for hearing. 1t was
an attempt on the part of the friends
of the administration to justify the
recommendation of appropriations to-
falling $81 100000, and on the part of
the advocates of strict economy and
curtailment of expenses to demon
strate the fallacy of the claims of the
supporters of the budget board.
The fireworks began early in the
session and was continued up to noon
with no decisive action talka and no
advantage to either side. There was
no attempt to pass any bills, as the
chief activity centered around the pro
and con arguments of the vital ques-
ton of economy or extravaganza.
In the assembly the day was devoted
chiefly to consideration of the West
osteopathy bill which came up for final
action. The bill found considerable
opposition, much to the surprise of its
hackers. The time taken up in both
houses was most important as the bill
files were heavy and there are meas
ures pending of the kind called vitality

v T |. | CASING
MAY Be PULLED

At a meeting of the directors and
some of the stockholders of the I'M
perial Oil and Gas Development aSso-
citation, the owners of the Brawley
well, an assessment of $l00 each was
agreed to by the so men in attendance,
to provide the necessary funds to COM
plete the well.
1t was thought best, however. to
obtain loan for the present of $4,000
from the Salton Basin Oil people, who
have agreed to advance the money, as
they feel that they are as much inter
ested in the bringing in of the Braw-
ley we'll as are the owners of the prop
erty.
Negotiations for the purchase of a
new form of packers for the well was
also decided upon. The report was
also made that it is probable that the
cement in the casing of the well will
not stand, and that there is probably
leak in the casing. This means ac-
cording to the news seeping out from
the meeting that the casing will prob
ably be pulled and the work done all
over again, which some of the men
interested say is the explanation OF
the necessity for borrowing money OF
raising it by assessment upon the

A ENOMEN7 I
GU 7 s OFF
Oh UTSIDE
VOT les
If Adopted Only Legal Elec-
tors Can Exercise Fran
chise on Matters Affecting
Irrigation Affairs.

Assembly constitutional amendment
No. 81, introduced in the legislature
by Assemblyman Frank Beal, has been
passed, and will have very important
bearing upon the future of the I'M
perial irrigation District and the local
water companies, if it is adopted by
the people when it is put to a vote.
The constitutional amendments pro-
vide that the Legislature shall have
power, among other things to fix the
right of suffrage in irrigation, recla-
nation and drainage districts, for the
levy and collection of taxes within
those district.
The amendment virtually limits the
right of franchise in such districts to
tax payers who are qualified electors
of the districts, and would prevent a
resident of New York, for instance, in
having the right to vote upon matters
of which he could possibly know no
thing, but at present has right to
vote, because of an interest IN land
holdings within the district.
The board of directors of he'irriga-
ton district authorized Secretary Nc
Ivor to send this morning a telegram
to j. Stanley Brown stating that the
board had no objection to the amend
ment.
Mr.. Beal's bill, Assembly Bill No.
1877, was also passed at Sacramento.
This bill which is also of great i'm
portance to the Imperial Valley pro-
vides that the board of directors of ir-
rigation districts may in their discre-
ton authorize by resolution, the valua-
ton and assessment of property for
taxation by the county assessor; the
collection of taxes and assessments by
the county tax collector; the giving the
custody of all moneys collected for the
district to the county treasurer, and
the sale of property for the non-pay-
ment of taxes by these officers in a
like manner under the law as other
property is sold.
i. TO this bill, as we'll as to the consti-
tutional amendment, the irrigation dis
trict is not opposed; but telegram
has been sen Mr.. Brown to oppose all
other irrigation and water bills, now
before the legislature on which he had
previously made report to the direct
ors. This, of course, does not cover
all of these measures before the legls-
lature, but only those few which the
directors consider would be of detrl-
ment to the interests Of the valley.

MAY CLOSE HIGHWAY
TO VEHICLE TRAFFIC

Unless motorists, especially freight
ers, discontinue the practice of inter-
fering with the state highway work
between Brawley and Indio, the road
will be closed by the state, Division
Engineer w. w. Patch of Los Angeles
states.
Considerable inconvenience has been
caused the construction trucks by mot
orists and freighters refusing to ac.
comodate the highway workmen, and
many delays have resulted where the
latter have been forced to leave the
beaten path.
Mr.. Patch suggests that everyone
who can possibly do so, use the San
Diego route to Los Angeles during the
construction of the Brawley-lndlo
road and in this way eliminate many
of the unnecessary delays in the con-
struction program.
