Ell CENTRO WINS
THE COUNTY FAIR
(SDecial 10 The PreSS.)

HOLTVILLE, Jan. 11.-Although
decision was deferred at the last
meeting of the Associated Chambers
of Commerce on the location of the
proposed site for the county fair. the
committee has reached a decision
that Ell Centro's offer of the use of
the municipal aviation field is the
most satisfactory to the citizens OF
the county and the next report will
designate El Centre. The committee
at Holtville was in favor of the Ell
Centre site but because three had not
been consulted, decision was deferred.
Locating of the county fair at FL
Centro will place the institution, for
such it is expected to come, at the
most central point in the valley and
near the center of population.
President Frank Hevener of the AS
sociated Chambers and others al
though maintaining neutral atti-
tude as far as the committee is con-
cerned are known to personally de-
sire the selection of the county seat.
Several months ago the chambers
decided to receive offers from various
cities in the valley. Imperial was the
only one to place set program be-
fore the committee, consisting of men
from all sections of the county and
the offer of Ell Centre was favored. 1t
is known that a syndicate will build
grandstand and race track if the
fair is to be placed at the municipal
aviation field.
