tin shops They have decided take insurance price
less public records In word they have decided to be
civilized, progressive and modern.
E Centre will profit by this to the extent of being the
seat of the first stately public building be erected in the
county We hope that this will be followed by the
ton of similar building in the city of Calexico for the
housing of the federal Offices need almost great that
for house. all cities of the county
will be ornamened by the graceful lines of beautiful public
buildings symbol of refinement and culture and progress
The people of Ell Centre naturally very happy to-
day. Primarily, perhaps this matter of pride. The
ramshacke old house has been in eye than
in that of else 1t has been of offense to
because have seen of it. We have heard the bes
and dsparaging remarks of visitors county,-apped
not merely to Ell Centro, but to the entire valley.
But more than the mere possession OF public building
the joy friendship and kindly cooperation by neigh
boring cities who have entered into the spirit of the thing
and unsefshy supported the house project It's
merits people Calexco done noby They have
proved their title to metropolis of the Imperial Valley by
demonstrating themselves to be big mind and heart and
vsion unmoved by jealousy seiflshness The biggest
thing about the court house project is the pubic spirit

failed and their support of the court house was taken or
granted merely matter of kindly neighborly cooper,
alton That history of the cities the east and
west and would the thrust of Brutus had either
of these neighbors withheld their support
Now as to those who did NOT rise to the spirit of the
occasion this will be softened by the
fact they did get with it, We regret tnat
Imperial did not cordial support because FL
Centre has faithfully endeavorng to cement the rea
tons between the two neighborng people loyalty
supported the county fair bonds from which Imperial
would benefited and did so cheertuy as neghpor
act even though logic of the situation might suggest
that county should be held at the county seat FL
Centro left this be said by the other people OF the
county believe that that exactly the significance
of the defeat of the county fair bonds 1t was not oppos
ton the fair, to Imperial but 1t seemed TO many
people of the county that the place for county 1alr at
the county seat wherever that may be- The two bond
propositions offered opportunity for Imperial and FL
Centre to snuff old anmoes and get together on
basis of complete amy Ell Centro took the fullest ad-
vantage of this Imperial did not do SO competey ou we
believe the foundation of cordial relations has Deen
laid and will be the certain result OF experience
The carving of the court house bonds together with
