Initial steps were taken by the Ell
Centre realty board last night toward
acquiring an agricultural school for
Imperial valley. The plan is to provide
advanced instruction along agricultural
lines that peculiarly fit conditions in
this county. The board appointed a com
mittee to investigate ways and means
of accomplishing these ends, and to
use every possible means of obtaining
such an educational institution for I'm
perial Valley. Clarence Gage is chair
man of the committee
Another plan the Ell Centre board has
had under consideration for several
weeks was made the object of commit
tee inquiry. M embers of the board be-
lieve a building and loan association
would be big factor in accelerating
development Of the valley. A commit.
tee was named to investigate varioua
plans of organizing and operating such
institutions, and recommend to tht
board the plan best suited to local con.
ditions.
Trainees For Ell Centre
A committee was appointed to worl
with local officials on plan to bring
q group of ex-service trainees to the Il
Centre district. Details of financing
trainees and providing special instruct
ors in the local high school for their
benefit are to be worked out by the

en- great impetus by the realty boar
committee.
Declaring that he had found in T.
Centre one of the cleanest conditions
encountered throughout the state in his
investigations of the real estate bust
ness, B. w. De Hart, field deputy of the
State real estate department, made a
complimentary address to the board.
No Complaints in Ell Centre
Deputy De Hart said he had searched
the city and had failed to find in Fl
Centre single complaint of one deal
er against another, or charge by any
citizen of unfair practice against n,
real estate office. He declared this an
unusual condition, for his troubles arc
many and varied elsewhere.
The Sacramento office of the de
partment makes a practice of covering
the state at least once annually for the
purpose of ironing out the many diff
culties that arise between dealers and
between the public and the real est
men. This work Of the real estate COM
missioner has prevented a great deal of
litigation since the real estate business
was licensed and the state department
organized several>Xears ago.
The visitor stated that he was certain
the good condition prevailing here is
due to the well organized and efficient
" operated FL Centre Realty board.
Multiple Listiro Planned
Last night committee of re-
was appointed to investigate operation
of multiple listing systems in boards
throughout the country, work out
similar system applicable to conditions
in Imperial county and submit their
findings for the approval of the FL
Centre board at the earliest possible
date.
1t is claimed multiple listing systems
in operation elsewhere are a great
benefit to sellers, buyers and dealers
The plan is not only convenience to
the realtors and their selling and buying
clients. but it is credited with elimina-
tion of irresponsible curbstone and
itinerant dealers in real estate.
