of being able to flush the silt into

Mr.. Fawcett said he had not devel-
opcd these facts for the purpose of sup

of Fl Centre for it was frankly the de-
sire of the council to reduce them. lie
brought out the fact that certain i'm
provenNnts to the water system must
be provided. A new settling basin and
filter unit is necessary and renewals
and additions to the distributing sys-

done either out of the water rates, by

Colored Citizens Want Cleanup
A delegation representing the church
es and fraternal organizations of the
east side appeared before the board and
pledged the support of the colored
people in the citys efforts to clean up
immortality. Mr.. Alexander spoke for
the delegation. He said colored prosti-
tutes follow the fruit workers. They
masquerade under the cloak of the mar
ried relation and have other exped
tents for covering up their real pro
fession which make it difficult fol

MAINTENANCE MEN
THREATEN TO QUIT

DETROIT, Mich, July 13.-National
headquarters of maintenance OF way
rail employees today struggled to keep
the maintenance men from staging an
outlaw strike.
Unless difficulties caused by the
shopmen s strike are settled immediate
lv, local leaders of maintenance of way
men will be unable to check the tide
for a walkout, according to. more than
100 kilograms received from district
and other chairmen.
Most of the trouble is caused by men
refusing to work under guard of United
States marshals and owing to the alb
sence of f. F. Cradle, president of the
union, work of adjudicating these diff
ferences is progressing slowly.

CITY COUNCIL DIGS
into PR0BLEM,OF
WATER RATES CUT

Water rates held the center of the
stage at the meeting of the city eoun-
ell last night and information was
brought out which may have bearing
on final determination of the matter.
A. II. Keller and f. w. Judy, repre-
senting the chamber of commerce, ap
peared before the board and said it
was the opinion of the chamber that if
possible it was desirable to have a re-
duction of rates.
President Fawcett replied that the
subject of water rates had been receiv-
ing the attention of the council almost
from the time the members took office,
but so many angles to the problem had
developed that the board was not yet
clear on the business or equitable soln-
tion.
Mr. Fawcett produced figures which
tend to prove that, taking into consid-
Grafton conditions under which it is
necessary to work, FL Centre has the
cheapest water rates in the valley. Flat
rates are difficult of comparison for
the reason that no two cities have the
same basis or the same additions for
fixtures and yard use. On meter rates,
Calexieo is slightly cheaper than I'll
Centre and Brawley is very much high
err. Calexico has the advantage of be
ing situated on New river into which
thev are able to flush the silt thereby
making possible substantial economy,
but more important still is the fact that
Calexico WHOLESALERS domestic water to
Mexicali, making profit on the deal
which is applied to the reduction of
domestic water rates to their own
people.
Brawley Rates Highest
In Ell Centre the minimum rate Is
s1.90 per month. In Calexieo the NINA
mum is $3.50 per month and in Brawley'
the minimum is 81.
In Ell Centre the rate is ,2oe per
thousand gallons for the first 2O,00O
gallons; zoe per thousand gallons from
30 600 to $4,000 gallons and l6c for all
amounts over $4,000 gallons.
In Calexico the rate is 10c per IOo
