ATEN TALKS TO
REALTORS HERE
ON RACE PLANS
FavOrs Compromise Only
When Whole Swing
Bill Can't Go
Realtors Start New Plan
for Listings Today
All Pleased

Members of the FL Centre Realty
Board heard an interesting address
last night by Ira Aten, candidate for
director of the Irrigation District
Board, in which he set forth the
policies in his platform, on which he
will go before the people as an of
flee seeker. Mr.. Aten appeared be
fore the board by invitation and was
given half an hour in which to make
his address.
Among other things, Mr.. Aten
stated that he believed Imperial Val
lev should use every resource in be
half of the Swing bill for the con
struction of Boulder Canyon dam,
but if it appeared that compromise
would be necessary, then the valley
should be willing to accept that
means of obtaining all it could.
However, nothing should be yielded
i'll the fight for the Swing bill until
it was absolutely certain that moth
ing could be gained by pursuing II
whole or nothing" policy.
Mr.. Aten further stated that he
- ~ III VI VI iui water VI
rectly to every 40-acre tract ON the
bitches of the district, wherever
such policy is economically and
physically possible, and if elected di-
rector will advocate this policy. He
also announced himself in favor of
the subdivision of large tracts and
establishment of the so-called cone
g, = ,.l, L. l.. .
ed by the realty board, and which
members of the board believe is the
best practical solution of many of
the minor ills of Imperial Valley.
If elected director, Mr.. Aten told
the realty men he would work at all
times for the best interests of the
people of Imperial Valley and for
the valley as Il whole, rather than
for any particular section.
Today marks the adoption of the
multiple listing policy by the realty
board, and the final details We're
gone over at last night s meeting.
By this plan, property listed with
one member of the board is automat-
icallv listed with every member of
the board. The plan has worked
successfully in other parts of the
country, and it is believed it will be
popular here. The realtors made it
plain that they are not endeavoring
to interfere in any way with the
business of real estate men who are
not members of the board, and the
multiple listing plan has been adopt
ed entirely with the idea of render.
ing better service to clients.

Fate of Court
House Bond Issue
to Be Known Soon

Attorneys representing w. ID.
for the bonding company, have filed
their brief in the appellate court on
the court house bond question, ac-
cording to Harry Horton, deputy
district attorney. The county now
has until January 18 to file an an
swering brief, at which time Attor-
ney Ross r. Hickcox, at the sugges-
tion and request of the FL Centre
Chamber of Commerce, will also file
a brief amicul curae, or friend of
the court, covering the entire ques-
tion as to the validity of the court
house bonds.
The county supervisors were re-
Quested to retain f. r. Simon and
Charles f. Scott, formerly district
attorney and deputy district attor-
ney, respectively, as special counsel
to represent the county in the court
house bond case. However, on OBJ
lection by District Attorney Utley
to such procedure, the supervisors
refrained from taking any action.
Mr.. Utley informed the supervisors
that he believed the district 'attor-
ney's office competent to handle the
situation and that employment of
special counsel would be Il needless
expense to the county.
Following the filing of the briefs,
the ease will be brought into court
and the oupStion of the validity of
the bonds decided beyond any ques-
tion of doubt, Mr.. Horton stated
today.
