BUCKLIN DEMANDS DETAILS
BARTON REPORT: SUPPOSED
TO REFUTE JURY'S CHARGES

The following letter, addressed to
four members of the board of difec
tors of the Irrigation District is
self explanatory and is signed by
A. n. Bucklin, foreman of the 1923
grand jury, whose report embodied
many eha,ges of mismanagement
and extravaganza by the irrigation
board.
"Messrs. Pound, Rose, Brockman
and Trentham, of the Board of Di
rectors of the Imperial Irrigation
District.
Gentlemen:
"The public in general, and the
1923 grand jury i'll particular, have

days for the publication of your re-

"This report has now been in
your hands for many days. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Barton has
been paid in full for his work, the
amount being the sum of $4S5.00,
and that he has been discharged.
Why then all this delay in publish
ing the results of all this investiga-
ton? Why continue longer to with

have had this bill to pay, the facts
so laboriously gathered and compil

"It is known that citizens and
taxpayers who have requested the

have been peremptorily refused and
have been told that they not only

Notwithstanding that this report is

On Floor of Senate
Next Week

WASHINGTON, April S.-The
new tax bill-with the Mellon rates
written in-was ordered favorably
reported by the senate finance com
mittee today after nearly a month
of discussion.
The committee s action puts the
bill on the floor of the senate, where
it faces Il bitter fight and apparent
ly inevitable and complete revision
by the Progressives and the Demo-
Gratis. it will be taken up for dis
cussion probably next Monday.
The bill is Il complete revision of
the measure passed by the house a
month ago. Republican members of
the senate committee, by reason of
the complacency of Democrats, were
permitted to restore the rates first
proposed by Mellon, which were re
jected by the house.
Democrats are confident they can
change it to meet their own view
when it is taken up on the floor.

Indifference and opposition on

sible for the delay which has kept
the bill from reaching congress, ac-
cording to Elmer w. Head, who has

"The power gang have the ad-
vantage of us in having so many
high officials arrayed on their

president and Secretaries Work,
Weeks and Wallace were i'll favor
of federal control of the Boulder
Canyon dam, the Swing-Johnson bill

declared.

Packing Houses Close


LOS ANGELES, April s. All
packing houses in Los Angeles will
be closed tonight at midnight for
q thorough disinfection, state de-
partment of health officials an
nounced today, concomitant with
the statement that 2S0 more head
of cattle were found infected on a
dairy near Lamanda Park, east of
the city.
Just when the packing houses will
be opened again is not determined,
it was said, but they may resume
operation, together with the Union
stock yards, some time next week.
Today's discovery of the disease
in the Lamanda Park herd chalks
up two outbreaks of the dread epi-
demic east of the city, one being
reported yesterday i'll a dairy herd
near Pasadena. All of the animals
in both herds have been killed, it
was said.
The state development association
was scheduled to meet here this af-
ternoon to discuss continued strict
enforcement of the quarantine re-
gulations.
Local offices were in receipt of
information from Denver, regarding
the scare reported from the Colora-
do city. There have been no cases
of the disease reported in Denver,
information stated, but shipment of
meat in or out of the city is being
held up for the time being as pro-
tective measure.

All Who
Aided

The Press takes this occasion
to thank all its employees who so
valiantly stuck to the job last
night, particularly the carrier
boys who aided by distributing
papers at 9 p. m, despite the
fact that light rainfall had
turned some of the street into
sticky mess.
The late hour of delivery was
due to the TACT that the plant
had been without power until
8 p. m. despite this fact, every
effort was mace to give its read
ers paper up to the usual high
standard.
The parents of some of the
carriers kindly offered to take
their boys around their respective
routes in the family car, and
thereby earned the triple graft
tude of the Press, the boys them
selves and the Press subscribers.
