DISMISS CASE
AGAINST ATEN,
SUPT. DURRAN

( Following the closing state 5 evid-
ence in the Brawley town court
yesterday Judge Griffin dismissed
the ease brought against Ira Aten,
president of the Irrigation District
board of directors and Superintend-
ent Duran of the Brawley division
by County Supervisor Anderson,
charging them with obstructing the
highway. The charge grew out of
an occurrence last April, when the
Irrigation District dredger, while
cleaning out the ditch adjacent to
the Tenth street road south of
Brawley, dumped the mud from the
dredge into the roadway interfering
with traffic on that side only. In
the opinion of Irrigation District
officials, it should have been n civil
action if the District officials re
fused to pay for its removal which
they did not instead of the presi-
dent of the board of directors and
the superintendent of the Brawley
division. who had nothing whatever
70 do with the matter.
Decry Court Action
Comment among citizens at Braw-
ley, who were present at the trial,
was to the effect that such trivial
matters as the present incident,
should be settled between the board
of supervisors and the Irrigation
District officials, without being
brought into court. Legal actions
cost money, loss of time, and tend
to make for ill-felling between two
of the peoples servants, it was
pointed out, when they should be
working together for the best in
terests of Imperial Valley. Judge
Griffin's action in dismissing the
case was commended by many of
those who were present. This case
probably cost the District official
in time and money 5000. and the
prosecution Of like amount.

County Employees

Vacations are Cut

"The mean things;' 81 think
it just dreadful - These and
similar remarks may be heard any
time two or more Of the fair en-
ployees at the courthouse get to-
gether these days, and it all comes
from the action taken by the county
supervisors at their last meeting,
reducing vacations of county en-
plovees from one month, as has been
the custom for several week past,
to two weeks.
Undoubtedly the supervisors acted
in what they believe the best in
terests of the county, but it would
be n hard job to convince any of
the courthouse employees of this. In
the new courthouse. they contend
there would be little dissatisfaction
with the supervisors ruling. but
under present conditions--they say
that s another STORY. If you wish
to start fight or an argument.
ask one Of the courthouse girls
where she is going to spend her va
cation--then run if you value your

BELL PROVIDING FOR CITY COMMISSION TO
 BE TAKEN UP AGAIN

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Feb. 12.-The bill providing for the city commis- sion form of government in towns with populations between eight and ten thousand inhabitants will not be indefinitely postponed but will be taken up on the first legislative day in July, Senator Garth of Huntsville declares.
 T find my people divided on the bill" said the Madison senator, "and it was upon my request that the nlee sure was postponed until that time, as l am anxious to see what my people want done with the mat ter, when I am at home during the recess.
 "The Madison county members, in- clud:ng myself and the two repre- sentatives are anxious to fulfill our campaign pledges and we feel that We have helped make a big start in that direction by the passing of leg islation to abolish the office of tax adjuster. and the substitution of a commission form of court instead of the present board of revenue for Madison county, the officers to be elected by the people.
 "NVe are of one accord on the mat ter of election of the county super intendert of education, believing that if this is to be peoples govern ment that they should have voice in it." the Madison membcr declared. Tt will be of interest to people of the Tennessee valley and those of the entire northern Alabama section to know that Madison's members
 voted solidly for the repeal of the tax
 exemption bill," MT. Garth said.

ASHCRAFT I CALLS ATTENTION TO BIC
 BEDS OF ASP HALT
Tennessee Valley Believed to Contain 700 Acres of As- phalt Beds Sandstone
 Also Found

FLORENCE, Ala, Feb. 12.-An in- teresting historical sketch of the de- velopment and use of asphalt is given by c. W. Ashcraft in connec- tion with the utilization of huge de- posits of bituminous limestone. a form of asphalt. found In the western part of Colbert county.
 According to Mir. Ashcraft, the Egyptians were the first people to use asphalt, which they did in pre- serving their mummies many cen- turies ago. About 1850 asphalt was discovered In France, and in the year 1858 1t was tried on the streets of Paris with satisfactory results, the Florence man says.
 Tt was tried in the streets of Washington about the same time 1t was in Paris, but further attention to 1t was interrupted by the Civil war.
 'The use of asphalt slowly in- creased until 1885, when deposits were discovered on the island of Trinidad and Central America. These deposits in large way replaced Flu ropean asphalt, because the Ameri- can asphalt was superior in quality.
 ''In 1910, large deposits of mineral containing asphalt were discovered in Uvalde county, Texas, and eX- tracts from it were soon being used for roofing and similar purposes, as we'll as for surfacing roads and streets. AS a street builder the Texas asphalt has proven to be highly sat- isfactory because of it's chemical and physical structure, making it dur able"
 Deposits of bituminous limestone and bituminous sandstone have also been found in Kentucky and Okla homa, and the recent discovery of a deposit covering approximately 700 acres and said to contain 20,000,000 tons, in the western part of Colbert county, has attracted attention, &C., cording to MT. Ashcraft, who says there. are isolated spots of bitumin- ous sandstone scattered throughout the Tennessee valley. but few of them are believed to be in sufficient quantity to be of commercial value. Machinery, however, is being in- stalled in Colbert county, he says, for the purpose of mining it.
