Mayor FdWcett Says Kids
Can Haze Cooling Off Place

That El Centre kids will soon have
some place to splash around in and get
relief from the heat of the day, is prac-
ticallv assured from the results of Il
visit to City park today, by Mayor W..
S. Fawcett, who inspected the fountain,
and figured it could be fixed up at
little expense, so the Youngsters could
cniov themselves. The overflow from
the fountain settles in a concrete basin
about foot deep. BY raising the en-
hankment surrounding the basin, ii
could be deepened to two feet, possibly
more.
Mayor Fawcett believed this would
serve temporarily until permanent
municipal plunge could be built. 1t is
probably that the matter will be taken
up at the next meeting of the city
council and authority given to make
necessary alterations on the park foun
tain.
George w. Anderson of the city com
ell SAWS he is heartily in favor of pro
viding some means TO follow out the
plans suggested in yesterday s Press to
afford relief for the kids and would
endorse any action taken along these
lines.
Sam l.. Dunaway, exalted ruler of the
Elks, advised that the Elks would back
any movement to provide such a recre-
al ion place for the boys and girls OF
FL Centre and expressed the hope that
the city council would take the matter
under advisemcnt.
When Mayor Fawcett visited the
park this noon, three youngsters We're
splaShing around in the shallow water,
clad in old overals, evidently having II
high old time. The water is not quite
deep enough TO attempt swimming, but
these youngsters were making a bluff
at it, and also tried a dive now and
then.

CANTALOUPE MEN
CUT DOWN PICKING

Cantaloupe shipments will show a
slight falling off today, the bureau OF
markets estimating between 40 and
800 ears will be shipped. This is caused
as n result of Il meeting of cantaloupc
growers in Brawley yesterday, when it
was decided to curtail shipments for
the present, in IN effort to strengthen
the market. Picking will be reduced to
five crates an acre. This curtailment
is not compulsory in any way, but was
agreed to by the growers themselves.
The market is in fair condition today,
prices for standards ranging from $3.50
to S., with very few places playing
higher.
The Southern Pacific estimates 20
ears of watermelons will be shipped to
day. The market continues in fairly
good condition.

COUNCIL STRETCHES
POOL HALL RULE

In short session the city council
last night voted to amend the city
ordinance prohibiting more than two
pools halls in any one city block, to al
low Japanese pool hall on Broadway,

colony is chiefly in that block, the or
dinance would work a hardship on them
if enforced.

citizens, regarding the unsatisfactory
collection of garbage, particularly III
the south end of the town. The coun-
ell decided to call the attention of the
contractor to his condition, aud advise
him that it must be remedied at once.
