ASK ACTION ON
BILL PROVIDING
A LEASED WIRE

An effort is being made to get
action in the state legislature on
the bill introduced by Assembly,
man Finney, providing for the cs-
tablishment Of direct wire mark ct
service to Imperial Valley.
The hill provides for an appro-
priation of $4,000 per year by the
state, with like amount to be
contributed by the federal govern
ment, in order to furnish local can
taloupe and lettuce men with the
best possible Wire service during
the course of the season.
At present the market reports re
ceived here come by way of San
Francisco, being relayed from that
city to El Centre. Delays are of
frequent occurrence and the service
has not proved entirely satisfactory.
With a direct wire service local
shippers and distributors can keep
in close touch with all market con
ditions.
The bill was passed upon favor
ably by the assembly agricultural
committee and is now in the ways
and means committee. 1t is hoped
to bring pressure to bear upon this
committee so that they will report
the bill out for action by the leg
islature.
1t is understood that Governor
Richardson has agreed to sign the
bill in case it is passed by the leg
islature. Various civic organi2a-
tions and newspapers in Imperial
Valley are urged by Horticultural
Commissioner lIarrigan to endorse
the bin and urge its passage by the
legislature and to send wires to
Governor Richardson asking for is
support.
