Need New Buildings
The so-called "Pork Barrel y
bills, the Public Buildings bill and
the Rivers and Harbors bill are
certain to cause trouble again this
year,
While the treasury department is
resisting all unusual appropriations
in order to promote the tax reduc-
tion plan of Secretary Mellon, it is
somewhat embarrassed over the pub
lie buildings measure as the public
buildings program is five years be
hind as result of the war and
many government activities are
cramped for space. Reports show
that in many cities it would be more
economical for the government to
build than to pay rent.
Then there is the Rivers and Har-
bors bill. Last year congress over
rode the budget estimate of $4,000,
600 and appropriated $56,000,000 in
a lump sum. The rivers and harbors
advocates hope to be able to in
crease the amount next year.

Necessary to Shoot
Tn several instances it has been
necessary for the officers to shoot
at the tires of ears which have ig-
nored the signal to stop, thereby ex-
posing the occupants of the car to
grave dangers. The law abiding cit
izen need have no hesitation about
obeving the signal of the Officers,
the district attorney said.
Four uersons were arrested by
the traffic officers over the week
end for reckless driving, or oper-
ating ears while under the influence
of liquor. 1t was necessary for
Officer Shotwell to take Antonio
Perez from his ear, load him on a
stage and then carry him from the
stage to the Jail, so helpless was he
from liquor. Perez woke up in Jail
yesterday morning with absolutely
no knowledge as to how he got
there.
Marie Johnson, colored, was ar
rested in Brawley for operating a
ear while intoxicated and reckless
driving charges were preferred
against John King and f. n. In
gram. The latter was picked up
Sunday on the Calexico highway
by Deputy Sheriff Evans after In
gram had tried to crowd the officer
off the road and refused to STOP
when ordered to do so. He finally
ran his car into ditch, throwing
his wife and small baby to the
ground when the car was suddenly
stopped by the soft earth. Nonc
We're injured, although the woman
was considerably stunned for ;

These cases are due to be tried
