IRRIGATED AREA
Darlington Says Surveys and
Plans Lacking. To Concea-
trate on IndiO-Bdnning Road.
Protest LuUucRed.

Plans to enlist the aid of Imperial
valley business houses in a campaign
to induce the California Highway
commission to construct roads within
the irrigated limits of the valley dur
ing the coming winter, are being out
lined by w. L. Garrett, president OF
the Brawley Commercial club and vice
president Of the Associated Chambers
of Commerce of the Imperial valley.
According to the plan local houses
will be asked to call the attention of
their Los Angeles jobbers to the beni-
fits possible to be derived from the
construction of the road between Ban
ming and Brawley and Ell Centre, as
provided in the various bond issues
voted by the people of California. Aid
of the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce will also be invoked.
Chairman n. ID. Darlington, of the
highway commission. in letter to
Mr.. Garrett announces the purpose
of the commission to construct the
Banning -Indio link at once. Nothing
definite on the road within the I'M
perial valley is given out. a state
ment by the commission chairman
concerning the lack of plans and sur
veys, is not understood locally, as all
but the final surveys were run, and
the road staked between Westmorland
and Brawley more than year ago.
Following is Mr.. Darlington's let
ter:
California Highway Commission.
August 80, 1921
Mr. w. l.. Garrett,
Brawley, Calf.
Dear Sir
Replying to yours of the 18th inst.
concerning the Los Angeles-El Cen
tro highway, would say that the
commission is at present time center
ing its efforts upon the completion of
what may be termed the desert por-
ton" of this highway. During the last
winter and spring we completed the
paving of the section between Indio
and the Trifolium canal: and we are
now working on the plans and esti-
mates and securing rights of way for
and Indio. When completed, the Imper-
ial valley will be connected with teh
balance of the state north with paw
ed road, and the commission feels this
is a matter of primary Importance.
We are also planning to widen the
S-foot section which was constructed
Immediately north of the Trifolium
canal
Concerning that portion of the
highway located within the irrigated
section south of the Trlf5'im canal,
am unable to say at this time more
than that work will be undertaken as
soan as surveys and plans can be maoe
for it. You will understand that to
scatter our efforts at this time would
imperil our progress on the Banning
Indio section.
The commission appreciates The inn
portance of this highway to the I'M
perial Valley and you may be assured
every effort will be made to push for
ward the work as rapidly as possible
Trusting this will make clear to you

ANNUAL
REPORT
Report Shows increase of 23
Per Cent in Use of Library
-Four Times as Many
Books Loaned AS In Cities

, To The Board of Trustees of the Fl
Centre Public Library, FL Centre Cal
Gentlemen: l here with submit the
annual report of the FL Centre Public
Library for the year ending June sc
1921.
1t is my pleasure to report an in
crease of approximately twenty three
per cent in the use Of the library in
1920-1921 over it's use in the year pre-
vious. The total circulation for the
year is 55,221 volumes. The growth
of the use of the library is shown by
the following table, which gives the
total circulation of books. and mag
azines for five fiscal years:
1917 ........................... 29,570 volumes
1913 ............................. SOAPS volumes
1919 ........................... 33,3331 volumes
1920 .....................,......, 42,274 volumes
1921 ............................. 55,221 volumes
Consulting the figures for other
of the American Library Association
and comparing the average circulation
we find that, In ten cities 1-2 books
were loaned per capita in year. In
ten smaller cities books were loaned
per capita in year. In Ell Centro 8
books were loaned per capita in year.
In other words, the people here borrow
four times as many books as the av
erage in large cities, and more than
twice as many as in smaller town.
Successful library service depends
largely upon three factors: first a
books; second we'll trained force Of
assistants to make the books availa-
BILE, and to aid the public in their use
and third; unremitting publicity,
that the service offered may be under
stood by everyone.
The first and most fundamental
factor is, of course, an adequate col
lection of books. Our library has ar
rived during 1921, at the dignity Of
ownership of 11,269 volumes. Since
most of our books have been added in
the last ten years, there is less dead
wood than in older libraries.
Our aim is library for popular
use, and to have at least few modern
and reliable books on every subject
of inquiry. For the past two years We
have spent more than in former years
on technical books. and their use has
increased more than that of any other
class. The following table shows the
growth in volumes for the last five
wears: t.=-

 If we all would practice inside bathing, what a gratifying change would take place.
