reduced to a minimum and those
who have no bathing suits, can
make up the deficiency with their
ordinary togs. 1t is planned to
provide shelter for mothers who
may wish to go to the park to
keep an eye on their Youngsters,
and if deemed advisable later on. Il
place will be provided for the
youngsters to change from clothes
into bathing suits, but this is a
minor detail in a youngsters life.
Undoubtedly there is not a single
taxpayer in FL Centro- who will
begrudge the small expense of the
pool. No money will be better
spent, in the opinion of city council
members. Heretofore, the lot of Il
youngster who has to remain in FL
Centre throughout the summer
months has been u mighty tough
deal and there is no question but
what they will all thoroughly en-
JOY many happy days at the we'd

RENFREW is
BEFORE JURY

Another session Of the grand jury
is in session today at the county
courthouse. County Development
Agent O. j. Renfrew was summoned
before the investigating body this
morning, presumably in connection
with the work of his office. In
some quarters there has been OBJ
,iections to the expense of the coun-
ty development agent, however it
is well known by those who have
been in close touch with the county
development agents office that
Mr.. Renfrew has accomplished great
things for Imperial Valley.
Development work is necessarily
slow and entails considerable ex-
pense at the outset, but once returns
begin to come in, the expense is for
gotten. Doubtless an investigation
of this department will reveal to
the grand jury that Mr.. Renfrew
has done remarkably well at very
conservative outlay, and that an in
crease in the appropriation for his
department will enable him TO
achieve even greater results for this
community.

Rancher Awarded
5000 Judgment
In Seepage Suit

judgement of 5000 damages was
awarded this morning to John Cook
who brought suit for $4,000 against
Imperial Water Company No. 2, al
leging that his land had been ruin
ed by seepage from the company s
canal. Judge Conkling, hearing the
case, visited Cook S ranch yesterday
afternoon, together with court at
taches, and the principals in the
ease, with their attorneys. In award
ing the judgement this morning,
Judge Conkling stated that while
he believed the water company
might be partially to blame, he al
so believed that neighbors of Cook,
together with over.irrigation, were
eontributory causes of the damage.
Charles Childers and II. j. Weleh

COAST TO PHOENIX
STAGE Line MAKES
This A STOP0VER
Much Benefit to, Accrue
From Having Station
In This City

FL Centre is to be made an over
night stopping place of the route Gi
the Phoenix to San Diego stage
line, according to J. $. Hatehell,
who appeared before the city eonn-
ell last night and asked for permit
to sell interstate stage tickets be-
tween FL Centre and Yuma and Ell
Centre and Phoenix. The new stage
line will not sell any tickets be-
tween this city and San Diego, and
will not interfere in any way with
the present Pickwick stages, oper-
ating between here and the coast.
Only passengers desiring to 60 east
from this city will be sold tickets
here.
The city council xeadily gave
such permission to Mr. Hatchell af-
ter hearing his plans and making
certain that the stage business is to
be operated in legitimate manner
Ten large Packard cars, each one
bonded in the sum of 100000, are
to be used on the stage line and
everything possible will be done to
take proper care of passengers.
Members of the council realized the
advantage to Ell Centre of having
the stages make this city step
over station and they will cooper
ate in every way possible with the
stage company.
Mr.. Hatchell, who is operating
the stage line with his brother, r.
H. Hatchell, will probably make his
headquarters in this city at the Ore
gon Hotel, though this has not def
initely been settled.
New Spur Track
The council passed Ordinance No.
257, granting permission to the In
California Railway TO construct
and maintain a spur track adjoin-
ing Euclid avenue. A resolution in
viting bids for paving and installing
curbing on Ninth street, between
Main and States streets was passed
and bids will be accepted up to 7:30
p. Ill. May l6. This section of Ninth
street is directly in front Of the
county property containing the Jail
and the new courthouse site. Under
agreement with the county, the city
and county will share in the expense
of paving and installing curbing.
Extension of Time
A. j. Costello and Company, who
are working on the present paving
contract, were granted 60 day ex
tension of time on the work in the
vicinity of Brighton street and a
90 day extension on the paving job
in the north end of the city. These
extensions were granted only to al
low the contracting company suffi-
cient time to make up assessments
against property owners. The paw.
ing will not be delayed in any way,
and the contractors advised the
board they will proceed with this
work at once.

new AMENDMENTS
May TIE UP FINAL
0. K. OF BUDGET
Senate Committee Adds
More Increases Before
Passing
BY United Press Leased Wire

SACRAMENTO. May 3.-Carry
ing four more amendments, the most
important Of any which have been
voted to it, the administration bud
get bill was ready to be reported
favorably to the senate today fol-
lowing an extended consideration by
the uppes house finance committee
last night.
The measure was expected to be
ordered to reprint and returned to
the senate for passage tomorrow. No
debate over the bill was expected on
the floor, the amendments put
through last night being all the ad-
ditions upper house members desir-
ed.
The changes voted by the com
mittee include amendments by Sen
atOr Boggs ut the request of Sena-
tor Jones, adding the fixed recurr-
ing appropriations to the budget
total. a similar effort in the as
sembly consideration of the bill met
defeat. If the change goes through
legislators declare it will increase
the budget total to Approximately
100000, instead of the $79, ,00O,-
900 economy" figure the admins
tration has claimed.
Cant Honor Warrants
Adoption Of the amendment fol
lowed statement by State Con
troller Riley that, after cOnferrin9
with his bondsmen, ne would have
to refuse to honor warrants drawn
on the rccurrent appropriation funds
unless they are added to the budget.
The matter is still open to doubt as
the amendment approved referred
only to the statute creating the
fixed charge items and not to ths
definite amounts.
The committee also included an
amendment alloting one per cent
of the normal school fund to admin
istration purposes. Other changes
voted in the budget returned to the
fish and game commission and the
real estate board control CT license
fees allowed by these agencies.
Amendment Withdrawn
An amendment providing a ST.
25O, 600 appropriation for the South
ern branch of the University Of Cal
ifornia was withdrawn when it was
explained that a bill is pending in
the legislature giving this institu-
tion $l,450,000.
Should the senate approve the
bill tomorrow, it will be
returned to the assembly immediate
ly for concurrence III the new
changes, opening the possibility Of
another extended debate before an
agreement is reached and the meas
ure sent down TO the governor.

breaking flight from New York tc.

Wiley Weaver Jr., who was
watching for the plane, spotted it
about 1890 q considerable distaDce
east Of FL Centre and followed its
course westward as far as it was
possible to see. The plane was trav-
cling at considerable height, and
according to Mr.. Weaver, VINO was
in the air service in France, was
easily making better than 100 miles
an hour. The sunshine beating on
the bright metal body OF the plane
made it sparkle and shine so that it
was easy to pick cat against the
blue sky.
Couldn't Believe It
Don G. Bitter telephoned to Rock
well Field to advise the authorities
there that Maeready and Kelly
were on their way from here, and
the party answering the call could
not believe that the information
was true. Mr.. Bitler described the
appearance Of the machine and the
officer with whom he talked became
convinced it was actually true that
the intrepid filters were nearly six
hours ahead of their schedule. W'hpn
told that the airplane was estimat-
