THE LOGICAL CITY TICKET

Soon the voters of Ell Centre will have occasion to
select councilmen, public and guardians of
the best interests of this city.
Undoubtedly men who seek such position of pub
lie trust do with public spirited desire to serve
their fellow citizens. with motive selfish than
that of gaming the commendatOn of their fellows for
efficient and generous work for the commonweal.
In choosing among those who offer their time and
ability to further their conmunity's interests there
can be no recommendation equal to that of duty al
ready performed.
That is why the Imperial Valley Press feels i'm
PEELED endorse the ticket including Will S. FaWcett
o. G. Horne and J. D. Foss.
Two of those gentlemen are incumbents of that of
flee and during their incunbency they have rendered
this municipality such expert and willing service that
although the tax rate has been lowered they have
tually piled up surplus for Ell Centro.
This has been done by them at the price of per-
sohai sacrIce OF tme ana effort OF course; 50 ther
public spirltedness is not to question j. D. Foss
the candidate the ticket, is secretary and treas
of the firm of B. Salomon and Company; which
that he is another man thoroughly equipped by
experience sit the council that administers the
business of the ctyfor the day of the trained
tive, whether be Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
the board of directors of the smallest public corp
oration (town city) has come. Never again will
people be satisfied with anything less than that which
private business demands, businesslke, brainy
agement. Working together Fawcett Horne and Foss
should the City of Ell Centre much farther along
the road of prosperity, should make it still of
paying concern than they have already done Natur-
ally Foss is in complete sympathy with the plans of
the present incumbents he would not have joined
forces with them.
council has brought completion of the finest
city water works in the west, nsuring the plans
for settling basins, water supply that
become inadequate Ell Centro's needs have made it
certain that the unsightly, dangerous and growth
retarding Eighth ditch will be elimnated have
worked that the ornamental lighting system of Main
street is assured have to that many and
alleys have been paved treaters have been made safe
And all this has been done with the cockke precision
that may be rendered only by trained business men,
Not only has all this material improvement been
wrought during their administration, but with the
plus piled up by economical administration the fire
department is to be so thoroughly improved that pub
lie safety will be assured to such extent that in
rates will be greatly lowered.
AS Messrs. Fawcett and Horne indicate in their
communication today to the editor of the Imperial Val
ley Press they we'll stand by their record of pub
lie service to this community They richly deserve
turn to the office they have efficiently and unsef
ishly served, and it would be wholly illogical and
reasonable to fail to elect with them the gentleman
they have selected running mate alike for his
thorough business training and for his understanding
and appreciation of the work they effecting for
this city,
