The Business Outlook

With the different branches OF in
dustrv thus in better adjustment than
they have been for years, the out
look justifies restrained optimism.
The danger of course lies in over
confidence leading to over-production
and disturbance of the normal bal
ance in industry. In view OF the
exceptionally heavy output of 1925.
conservative business men will not
be taken by surprise if the volume
of business this year fails to con-
stantly overtcp all previous records
or should even fall somewhat short
Of its recent level In some locali-
ties. at least, there are indications
that building operations and specu-
lation in real estate have been over
done, and it is not impossible in GER
tain other industries where unusual
optimism now prevails ir"duc,'on
may be pushed too hard. Sho;,!d
this prove to be the case some SA,w
ing may occur during the lattec psr.
OF the year. but there seems Ia 'e
little likelihood of anything IN :A<
way OF q serious reaction.

Strength in the pitching depart
ment, something unusual for the
New York Giants. is what makes
the chances of John McGraw club
look so good. McGraw had a good
ball club last season and it still has
as much all around class az any other
team in the league. 1t hasn't in
dividual brilliants like Pie Traynor,
Glenn Wright or Kiki Cuvler. but
it is a better balanced club than
the Pirates and the pitching has
been improved to marked degree.
In Jimmv Ring, Kent Greenfield,
Fred Fitzsimmons. Art Nehf. Hugh
McQuillan and Jock Scott, the
Giants have string of pitchers who
look ns good as any seen in the
south.
The Brooklyn Robins, club that
always leans to strong' pitching,
have a great staff also in Dazzy
Vance. Burlei2h Grimes, Jesse
Barnes, Doug McWeeny and jess

manager Of the club, figures that
McWeeny will be the sensation of

ious grand .iurics, the report states:
Continuing the work left I'M
finished bv the preceding grand
jury, investigation of the Imperial
Irrigation disiict was taken up. At
ter II thorough inquiry rs to the lc-
Valitv of their actions, certain ac-
tions were brought by the grand jury
as records will snow. In this con
nccton it might be stated that in
vestigation was made, and action
taken, in an impartial manner and
without malice.
The report mentions that indict-
ments were brought against mum
ber of people for violation of the
anti.alicn land law, and the inVcs'
tigation of the grand jury made it
clear that the law was being grossly
violated in Imperial COUNT
Recommendation is made tnat the
upper floor of the county jail he
completed to provide adequate room
for prisoners. All jails i'll the c0un-
ty were investigated by the grand
Jury and were found to be in salts
factory condition with the cX-
ception of the Calexico Jail
and on recommendation of the
grand jury a new Jail was built III
that city, thereby correcting the un-
desirable conditions brought to light.
Thirty citizens of the county have
been summoned to appear in Judge
Cole s court Saturday morning at
10 clock at which time the new
grand jury will be drawn. From the
80 names submitted to the court 10
will be chosen to form the new
grand jury.

GRAND JURY IS
CLEARING UP FOR
INCOMING PANEL
Most of the Report Deals
With Constructive Mat
ters, Expenditures.

Installation of a properly equip
ped operating room at the county
hospital forms the chief recommend.
alton in the report of the 1926 grand
jury. which was discharged this
morning bv Judge Conkling, who
thanked the iurymen for their ser
vices during tEc past year.
The county government commit
tee, which made an investigation of
the county farm reported that the
farm is functioning satisfactorily
and pointed out that an operating
room will save the county consider
able expense, as il will eliminate the
necessity of sending county patti
ents to private hospital for opera
tions.
During the 20 months between
May, 1928 and September, 1928, the
sum of $l3,SS43J. or approximate
" $500 per month, was paid to the
FL Centre hospital for county cases,
the committee found after invcsti.
eating conditions.
Recommendation was also made
that the filter system at the county
farm should be supplantcd by II more
efficient one.
Contrasting with the voluminous
reports submitted by the two pre-
vious grand iuries, the report of the
1925 grand jury is confined to three
typewriter pages, and is confined
to n bricf account of the .jury's de-
libcratiOns.
The grand jury was impannelled on
May 8, 1925. During its term it re-
turned number of criminal indict-
mcnts, complete information on
which, the report states, is contain
ed in the minutes Of the jury filed
with the county clerk.
The county books were audited by
Il. a. Boyette, under instructions -of

Call money rates which had touch-

levels rose to around 4s4 to 5 per

ciable change. however. in the COM
mercial paper rate, this remaining
around ~ to "A per cent. With
the major credit requirements Of the
Spring trade just ahead it seems
probable that further moderate firm
ness is to be expected. While it is
true that commercial credit require
ments are low when compared with
the volume of business being done,
nevertheless. as has been pointed out
before. banks have their funds fully
employed. and barring a continua-
ton o. gold imports. additional credit
il any important amount can be OBJ
,aintu only through an expansion of
I .derai Reserve loans. Not only are
''anis naturally more reluctan: to IN
crea.e :hcir borrowings in view .:
the higher discount rates recently
established. but it is doubtful wheth-
er the Reserve authorities would lssss
with favor upon additional memtRr
bank borrowing at time when ,hc
volume OF funds employed in secMi.
ties is so large. The general tenjcn
cy OF money rates has been iorwAri
since the Summer OF 1924. and with
business still in large volume the
time does not yet appear to be at
