CONGRATULATIONS!

The passage of the Jones Murray Fnney bill by
the assembly was a signal victory, and tribute to
Imperial Valleys newest representative III the seats
of the soons at Sacramento.
The overwhelming passage Of the BILL as recorded
by vote of 81 to Is, shows that good and convlnc-
ing fight was waged-a fight whose justness and fair
ness were obvious that few able to resist its
forcible convictions
Attorney Chiders too has been an earnest worker
for passage of the measure and has been at Sacra-
mento for time doing all possible to safeguard
the interests of the valley.
That the reservation, as insisted upon by Assem-
blymen Jones' Murray and Flnney, who drew up and
sponsored the bill wise may be only too evil
dent in of another dry year and water shortage
such as we suffered last summer.
1t in no wise changes the essential principles or
the pact but does provide that the lower basins inter-
ests in the allotment of water will be properly safe
guarded until such time high dam assures the fact
that there will be plenty of water for all.
Assemblyman Finney, through his positive and
fearless stand in this matter has progressed further
than many assemblymen who have been at Sacramento
for years and has demonstrated beyond doubt that he
has the best interests of the valley at heart That he
will continue to labor for all that spells the progress
of this vast inland domain of seems assured ana
he should have the loyal cooperation Of every constltu
