ABANDONED CAR
LEADS TO SEARCH
FOR ITS OWNER

For week past, the sheriff s
department has been endeavoring tc
find one, Edward /. King, whose
automobile was found Abandoned on

In reply to the wire received
from Fillmore, the sheriff s office

M'CRORY WILL
HAVE OFFICE in
OLD COURTHOUSE

Permission was given s. l.. Ne
CFory, Boy Scout executive, by the
supervisors 1t their meeting vester.
| day, to use the former law library
| in the old courthouse ON Main
/ street, for his work until further
notice. Mr.. McCfory appeared be-
fore the board and explained his
need of Il more suitable place for
his work, and permission to use the
old library was readily given.
I. j. Reid was appointed engineer
and custodian of the new court
house at a salary of 1925 per month.
}. W. King was appointed night
watchman at a salary of $l15 per
month. Both appointments are to
hold until January /, 1925.
The board passed resolution
agreeing to take over with Orange
and Riverside counties, \ the pea
sonal property on the Coffman es-
tate at Banning where the tri,coun-
tr tuberculosis hospital is to be
hni!, and will pay its share of the
cost upon demand The price to
ht lldiu lOi SdllC Is p ,UUU, SuHlt
to be prorated among the three
counties interested.
Upon the request of b. A. Harri-
gan, county horticultural commits
sioncr. the supervisors passed n res
olution refusing to raise the legal
sugar content of grapes from II per
cent to 10 per cent. The latter
percentage has been advocated by
grape growers in the San Joaquin
Valley, who wish to have it adopted
by the local grape growers.
The resolution states that the
increase would be detrimental to
Imperial Valley as it would then
be necessary TO hold grapes on the
vines until August, when labor in
he valley is scarce. 1t would also
place the grapes in the market at
he sam as the crop from the
San joaquin Valley, resulting in a
.looded market, with Il consequent
eduction in price.
