radical. s The amcitGHent suggested
by this district, as amendment of
Section A. permitting the district
to take title and sell the land for
its reasonable value regardless of
the amount of assessments AGAINST
1t, was unanimously approved by
the association, and Attorney Chill
lers was directed to prepare the
amendment desired, and it would
have the approval of the associa-
tion.
This amendment will permit the
board of directors to clear up the
assessments of parcels of land
where ,.hc assessments, penalties,
and interest have accumulated over
good many years, and whore they
amount to more than the value Of
the land. A few cases like this
exist here, and under the present
law there is no method by which
the title can be cleared of assess
ments without the payment in full
of those assessments. Where it is
unimproved desert land it means
that the land Is not farmed and no
assessments are paid. The !mper-
ial Irrigation district directors, said
Mr.. Childers. feel that this amend
ment will do Il grea. deal of good
to this district.
One other amendment suggested
by the Imperial District was that
Section % ) provides that nominat-
ing petitions for directors and elcv
tive Officers of the district may be
filed up TO within ten days of the
election. and in this district it is
almost impossible in that time to
get the ballots printed and listrib-
uted throughout the whole district,
and it was suggested, therefore
that the time be extended to 15
days. and that suggestion was also
by the association.

NEWEST MURDER
in |. A. SIMILAR
TO KATE Staying
by United Pres. Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17-Strange-
ly paralleling in many respects tho
murder of Harry l. Katz, new
Staying mystery engaged police to-
day with the discovery of the
dead body of Albert r. Rosenblum
real estate salesman, lying in a
street off Wiltshire boulevard.
Two brothers found Rosenblum s
body late last night stretched across
the street where it had apparently
been tossed from the automobile in
which he had left home some hours
previously.
Investigation disclosed that ROs
enblum had been killed by 80
caliber bullet, the same size as the
one with which Katz was shot to
death in his apartment house a week
ago tonight.
Other points in which the crimes
parallel are that both men were of
the same age, 80, and both were
slain in the exclusive Wiltshire see
tion of the city.
Rosenblum's widow, Mrs. Beatrice
Rosenblum, told Getectives she and
her husband went for a drive yes
terdad afternoon, returning home
lust before dark. Later hOsen blum
left TO drive 20 a friends home
nearby.
That robbery was not the motive
for the Staying was seen in the fact
hat the body was not looted. Money,
Jewels and a watch which the victim
carried were found intact.
Police detectives are working on
-he two cases together, % the search
for Katz' slayer still continues, al
though the possibility of finding the
assassin is admittedly growing more
remote.

"It meets the water conditions

"In our day people are looking

the result of the evolution of soap.

came Washing Powders, which
became quite popular. Next, WITH

Fl Centre won from Calexieo

I the hardest fought games ever play
ed in the valley. Fiereely contested
from the first whistle to the last
down. il would have been great
game to watch had it not been mar
red by some unnecessary rounghness
on the part of Calexieo. One Calex-
leo player was thrown out of the
game for kneeing an opponent who
was downed.
Central scored early. After an
exchange of pmts they took the
ball straight down the field on n
series of line plunges and end runs.
Allen carried the ball over and kick.
Cd the goal for the extra point. FL
Centre had the advantage in the
first period, but in the second
quarter Calexico cut loose with a
lot of criss-crosses and double pass
cs that had the local players bewild-
cred. The visitors had the edge in
this period.
The second half was hard fought
throughout with not much advant-
age on either side. FL Centre solv-
ed the criss-crosS attack, ,and then
Calexico put over Il barrage of for
ward passes, completing enough of
them to make the FL Centre fans
run a temperature. Three successful
passes in row put Calexico inside
the five yard line with four downs
to make the goal.
Put Up Strong Defense
Central's defense then, rose to
great heights. Calexico made des
perate attempts to pierce the line
but the locals met each plunge. On
the fourth down the oval was but a
