According to some authorities a
motorist is not motorist: When
he deliberately disregards traffic
rules. When he enters a boule-
ward without slowing down or stop
ping. When he does not hug the
middle of the street in turning left.
When he uses spotlight instead of
headlights When he refuses to dim
lights on dark thoroughfares.
Until more stringent rules are
brought into use and motoring
will be accompanied with more or
less danger. 1t is said there is
scarcely a motorist that does not
violate some one or more of the
traffic rules every day. A well
known Hammond man made this
statement: Il bet I can follow you
and have you pinched in less than
an hour for violating traffic laws.
You can follow me and Ill get
pinched in ten minutes.
This man is a model citizen and
a prominent man, yet he admits a
certain laxity in observing existing

Services and Was 'COmpH
meRted by the Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce

Regarding the candidacy OF
Clifford Coggins for the office

rests the entire responsibility
of safeguarding the funds of
the county and that the most
essential qualification for the
position should be a practical
financial experience. 1t is
claimed for Mr.. Coggins that
his experience has been, more
or less throughout his whole
life, in handling large financial

portant legislation which is
still in existence at this date.
Coming to Imperial county
in 1904 with his son, they built,
equipped and established the
largest machine shop which is
today the pride of Ell Centre
and Imperial county. He has
also been engaged in farming
in this valley.
During the war his ability as
a conservative man was recog-
nized by the governor of our
state in being appointed on
commission to conserve capital,
with Major Dunn of Brawley
and Edward Dool of CaleXico,
for the purchasing of Liberty
bonds.
He has occupied many i'm
portant public offices in recog-
milton of his ability, for in
stance as trustee of the state
normal school at Chico for 16
consecutive years, under four
governors, and one year as
president of the board.
He has always been a public
spirited man in the Ell Centre
chamber of commerce and the
associated chambers of COM
merce of the valley, always at
the front in any public develop
ment.

of commerce, January 10th,

Meeting Requiring License Fee for

To enable the city to collect license

erty in Forest avenue which Is outside
the city limits, City Council will con-
slider at the regular monthly meeting

In the past all circuses and carni-
walls showing outside the limits of the
city escaped with the payment of state

charged by the city. The city's license
for carnivals within the city limits is
now 500 per week and 1t Is under
stood that this same fee is to be
charged those showing within the mile

.MAYSuCK SYSTEM
Of TRANSPORTATION
IS States ideal
Head Of Mayslick Consolidated School
Explains Transportation System
To Fayette County School
Authorities.

Thursdays Lexington Herald says:
That the cost of maintenance Of the
Fayette county schools, including
truck transportation, is almost $40
higher a child than at the Mayslick
consolidated school, one of the best
county schools in the state, was
shown by figures presented by Prof.
Gordie Young Of the Mayslick school
at a special meeting of the Fayette
Community council at the courthouse
yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was called by the pres
idcnt, Mrs. r. E. Upton, to discuss the
truck transportation problem for the
children Of Fayette county during the
coming year. More than 20 members
of the council present went on record
as opposed to the discontinuance OF
truck transportation in the county,
According to recent published
statement OF the Fayette county
schools there was an average attend
ance at the schools for the last year Of
2,844, which cost the county during
that time $172,S5S.49, an average OF
SCOTT a pupil.
The Mayslick consolidated school is
considered one of the most up to date
county schools in the state. There is
an enrolment Of 1856 pupils in that
school, II Of whom are in the high
school all OF whom are brought to
school in seven trucks, which bring
the children from an area with a ra-
dius OF between five and six miles. The
cost OF maintenance Of this school,
including truck transportation, was
$51 a pupil for the year, Professor
Young stated.
F. s. Latham, principal of the Mays
lick school for the last year, who also
spoke yesterday, decribed in detail
the operation Of the MGyslick school
in all departments. To dispense with
truck transportation would deprive
more than half the pupils of the op-
portunity of attending school, he
stated.
The cost Of operation Of the Fayette
count trucks for the last year was
$3.50 a truck. while those at the Mays
lick school averaged between $112 and
1920 a truck, II was shown.
