OPTIMISTIC OVER
BILLS OUTLOOK
Continued from page ]
All Familiar With Bill

''Some of the papers-seem TO feel
that the Republicans have. lodged
the issne in framing the claase re-
latng to the Colorado river power
plan, - Mr. Rose said, but the
thing which impresses me is that
the party leaders of a great ma
tional political organization have
come TO realize that Boulder Can
Won dam and the ll-American canal
are of national significance and "8
such must be laid before the people
of the nation for their considera-
ton.
"Papers al lover the east have
been giving Boulder CANYON dam 81
great deal of publicity in the last
lew weeks. Wherever you go, peo-
pie are familiar with the Swing
bill,' he said.
Delegates from the lrrigatio ion dis
tict talked with Bryan and Nc
Adoo, Mr.. Rose said, and it is ex-
pected that the Democratic party
will include the Boulder Canyon
dam project in IT'S platform. : We
had the statement of both McAdoo
and Bryan, who are conceded to be
denominating forces in the Dem
ocratic party, that they favored tn"
Swing bil,'' Mr.. Rose stated.
1t is expected that +. w. Greer,
who is at the G. O. p. convention
in Cleveland, will 60 to New York
to be present at, the Democratic
convention there the last of tins
month.
Elmer Head, also Il delegate from
the Irrigation district to Washing
ton. was to have reached the valley
today or tomorrow. Col. Fly from
Yuma is to reach home on Tues
dav of next week He went to New
York from Washington.
In commenting on the legislative
work of Congressman Swing, Mr..
Rose stated that Mr.. Swing had
had the honor of being a member
of the committee on naval affairs,
one of the four most important
committees in Washington and one
which rarely includes congressman
who have not served Il number of
terms. "If Mr.. Swing goes back
to Washington in the fall, he will
resume his position on the naval af-
fairs committee, Mr.. Rose said.

ON WEDNESDAY

Arriving at Westmorland at 300
O clock next Wednesday afternoon,
Congressman Phil Swing and par
ty will be met by a caravan of
autos and will make his way south
ward through the county to FL Cen
tro where there is to be huge

The caravan will stop at Brawley,
where it will be joined by addition
al friends and workers in the cam

lev the motorcade will 20 to I'M

and delegates from other points in
the valley will join in the process

At Ell Centre it is planned to have
as many autoists waiting at the

Main streets as possible, and every
Swing booster who can possibly
do so, is urged to be at that inter
section next Wednesday afternoon
TO greet the returning congress
man.
In Ell Centre the parade viii
move down Main street to Fourth,
then south TO State street and west
TO Fifth, turning back into Main
street. The line of march will
bring the party TO the Barbara
Worth hotel by 500 O'Clock for
the banquet in the dining room

Because of the large crowd that
is to attend the banquet, Mr.. Con

BARRY INFORMS
|. Y. TAXPAYERS
PRESENT STATUS,
Declares District Back
In Same Place as
Formerly

Information to tax payers %pld-
ing city and county property is the
subject of letter To be issued
within a few days by G. w. Barry,
assessor and collector for the lmper-
ial Irrigation district, in which the
effect of the decision of the supreme
court in the Wores ease is explain
ed. The letters will accompany the
statements of the second installment
Of assessments.
The letter states: "The gist of
the supreme court decision is that
the act of 1918, under which the
Imperial Irrigation district was OPP
Grating, is a constitutional act. The
court also sustained the board of di-
rectors in levying the assessment and
in collecting water tolls, and also
sustained the board of equalization
in reducing the value of city prop
ertv. In other words, the reversal
of the decision of the superior court
places the district back in the same
position in which it was prior TO
the time the action was commenced.
The rate is $500 per $4,000 valua-
ton.
The letter explains that in ease a
rehearing is granted within the ~
dav limit allowed the court, the
assessment will be collected on the
s.i.40 rate, and on values as tiXed
by the superior court.
In the ease of city property, the
letter states that unless the sn-
preme court grants rehearlng the
following situation will obtain:
eff both installments have been
paid in the original amount; that
is. at the rate of $500 per hundred
on the reduced valuation as fixed
bv the board of equalization, then
the assessment is paid in full. II
the first installment only has been
maid in the original amount, then
the second installment is payable IN
the original amount.
Regarding Country Property
The situation in the ease of conn
trv property, taking for granted the
supreme court does not grant re-
hearing is as follows, the let'er
states:
s.If both installments were pald
in fuU before December 81, l925, at
the rate of $500 per hundred, then
the assessment is paid in full. II
the first installment only was pald
at this rate, then the second INSTALL
ment is payable at the same rare;
If the first installment was pald
on December 81, 1928, or subsequent
thereto. there is Il deficiency OF II
nor cent which was deliquent the
last Monday in December, and to
which. under the law, ~ per cent
-rrn5Itv must be added. The mus
flee of the penalty is recognized by
this. office, but under the law there
is no alternative. i.
The letter states that III view or
the confusion in the assessment
and tn efact that the supreme court
decision will probably be effective
:Jst before the delinquency date,
the collectors office viii be open for
the purpose of receiving assessments
all dav Saturday, June %, and sun
dav, June %, as well as Monday,
June 90, which is the last day be-
fore delinquency.
"In justice to the other assess
ment payers, the public is requested
to refrain from taking up questions
pertaining to the 1924 assessment on
these days, so that the entire at
tcntion of the office force may be
given to the collections, the letter
