were being held, and was so good at
"Bull Throwing" that even Thomp-
son was little leary and was on the
point of releasing the men on fine
of $4,000 and dismiss the case. This
would have been done had it not
been for the timely interference of
one of the councillmen, who in some
way was notified that the men were
about to be released and hurried to
! the City Hall to see that justice was
done.
Let us review the facts of the case;
First Resisting and assaulting an
officer, that in itself is prison off
ence. $4,000 would not pay for treat
ment to the officers eye.
Second-An onlooker, David Kali
bach, was suffering with conclusion
of the brain, which in many other
cases similar to this has resulted in
death. The men should have been
held pending the out come of this
lad.
Third There were three other
charges lodged against the men
which they cold have been fined or
held on.
Fourth Who was going to pay the
damage done to several men who
were more or less cut and bruised
some so badly so as to require med
icle attention? These men were fore
ed to fight to protect themselves.
Constable Stands By
Some people might say that they
had no right to mix it with the Cam
denites. That is true, they didn't, but
when an officer of the law is forced
to fight to get his man, and when he
is forced to fight six or eight others
at one time then it is time for the on
lockers to take hand. 1t has also
been stated, that constable, whose
badge is as good here, as we'll as
outside stood by, when Officer Burns
was struck with an umbrella, from
behind and made no move to help the
fellow officer. What alternative did
the Beverly lads have, but to fight?
Many smaller cases than this have
been sent over to the Mount Holly
Courts, some of which did not
amount to over fifteen dollars fine,
and these men, who might have had
to answer to charge of manslaugh
ter, were about to be released on
fine of $4,000. How does this appeal
to you, is justic being done in Bev-
erly?
We are pleased to announce, that
Kalbach. is speedily recovering and
although he does not recall any of
the happenings of the conflict, he is
able to be about the house.
He just recovered from dislocated
shoulder blade, received while play
ing with the Beverly F. C. and it is
thought he was struck on the shoul-
der during the fight as it has been
giving him trouble ever since.

have been, and are likely to con.
tinue to be, such as to render the
status Of Imperial Irrigation Dis
triet's water supply extremely un-
certain and hazardous. (See letter
of Joyce to LobdelD.
In emphasizing the claim that
the cost of the All-American canal
would be an intolerable burden to
land owners in the Imperial Valley
he entirely oVerlooks the point that
the construction of such canal would
add more than the cost of the canal
to the value of lands in that val

expense chargeabie solely against
water delivery in Mexico. On page
y there is the itc.n of diversion
This, Of course, covers water for
both Mexico anI the United States.
1t amounted to 1922, 2,095.7S for 1929 +;
and to an average annual charge
Of S221 ,2O1.59 for the three year
period l92k23. How should this be
distributed as between Mexican us
ers and American users? Such an
nual report affords a just basis for
such distribution as follows:
The report shows, on pages to
9, total net delivery of water for
1928 TO users in Mexico amounted
to 606,276 acre feet, and to users in
the United States to be 92S, LAG acre
feet. These deliveries are in the
ratio of approximately 39.5 per
cent to 800 per cent. Distributing
such delivery and diversion costs on
the basis of net wafer deliveries,
we have for 1923, Il charge of $47,-
227.S3 against the Mexican users.
Such annual report on page ~,
gives certain other cost items, which
should be distributed between Mexi-
can and American users, as follows;
General expenses of FL Centre of
flee SS8, 1920, and general expenses
Of Calcxico headquarters $l2J,337:52.
Distributing 800 per cent of these
items to Mexican users, we have an
additional charge against them for
1923 of $74,449.82.
Then there is the item of
River Protection, covered on
page % of the report. That item,
of course, varies in different
years according to the conduct
of the river. In 1928 the river
was easily managed, and conse-
quertly the expense Of river
protection for that year was low.
1t amounted to S197966.68. The
report shows that the average
annual cost for this purpose, for
thi9 years 1928 was 1924
400.03. Distributing 395 per
cent of such expense to Mexi-
can users, we have a further
charge against them Of S73,-
1868.
The report ON page 2S gives the
expense item Of Real Estate,
Buildings, Equipment and Facili-
ties. - This property was, in large
part, bought and used for the gen
cral benefit of the system on both
sides Of the line. The year 1928 was
Approximately normal. II shows an
expense Of S2G0,42979. Distributing
this on tie same basis as above we
have a charge against the Mexican
water users Of Sl02,S69.
Annual Interest Item
Then there is the annual expense
Of interest and discount Oh bonds,
mentioned on page q Of the report.
The district has Sl6,000.OO0 of bonds
outstanding. Assigniuc one half,
or $8,000,000 of these to works serv-
ing both sides Of the line, to wit,
diversion, main canal and protective
works, we. have an expense for in
terest and bond discount for 1923
amounting to $7S4 l6j.00 One half
Of this is $392, ,0S2.50. Distributing
30.5 per cent Of this to the Mexican
ugers, we have "A charge against
them of $I545872.58. II a'1a
Furthermore, it is universally
recognized that charge for deprc-
ciati0n on works employed in giving
water service is proper as against
users. Taking the inycsimen4 in

of course, the prosperity of Tho
district organization, but can as
sure you that they are matters
which should receive the early ant
careful attention of your board -
6. With a heavy deficit every yeal
from the Mexican business since the
district took over the system in 1918
totalling 81 ,590,6S4 for the~ perioc
1916 to 1920, and amounting, us We
have seen to $306,903.47 in 1928, il
is easy to see why the district Off
cials should claim that the Mexican
,, water users lack several million dol
lars of paying even the cost of de
livering water to them. Whether
these deficits represent lega
charge against Mexican water users
or not they at least show good cause
for removing the Imperial Valley
Water Supply from Mexico.
Allison Condemns Testimony
7. Allison, by using Brock
mans letter and thus accepting
the statements therein set forth,
discredits and condemns his own
testimony, The annual report
used by both shows, at page 25,
that the total expenditures i'll
operation, maintainance and pro-
lection of the entire system on
both sides of the line for 1928,
amounted to S2,759, ,841.97. Now
remembering that the report
shows for that year 606,376 acre
feet of water delivered to Mex
lean users, and 928,164 acre
feet Of water delivered to Amer
lean users, if the delivery of
1,534,422 acre feet of water to
Mexican and American users in
1928 cost S2,759, ,841.97 it is
incredible that Allison should
assent to the statement of
Erockman that not more than
S30,o00 covered the cost of Mex
ican deliveries for that year.
8. Allison s undiguised hostility
to proponents of the bill, and his
manifest pro- Mexican and pro-Japau
ese pre.iudiccs disqualify him to pass
on the merits of the canal.
9. Allison is an unreliable witness
ON the question whether the All
American canal should be built and
relieve the district of the burden OF
operating the Mexican canals and
supplying, at an immense loss, his
100000 acres of land in Mexico
with water.
10. Allison S effort to make the
number of acres irrigated in Mexico
and the United States respectively
the basis of apportioning the cost of
delivery on each side of the line, in
stead of the quantity of water de
livcrcd, is simply his own arbitrary
set up, and counts for nothing. He
does not claim that his Mexican eli
cnts ever paid for water on any
other basis than the customary one
of quantity of water delivered.
II. Allison s attempt to show that
the present arrangement for deliv-
ering the district S water supply by
means of ii canal running through
Mexico is better for the people of
the district than the proposed All
American canal, entirely failed.
Ignores Many Facts

able objection to having the main
supply canal of the district under
