NO ACTION TAKEN
BY SUPERVISORS
ON LABOR KICK

no action was taken by the sup
petition filed with them protesting
against the importation of Mexi-
can laborers into Imperial Valley.
The petition was filed in opposition
to the Associated La Dor Bureau, or
ganized under the direction of the
Associated Chambers Of Commerce
for the purpose of aiding Mexicans
now living in Imperial Valley to
comply with the provisions of the
federal immigration law.
The petition requested the sup
ervisors not to appropriate any
county funds for the maintenance OF
support Of the offices organized
throughout the valley by the Asso
ciated Labor Bureau. Although Nc
money was appropriated, the super
visorS ordered the petition filco
without taking any action on it.
Transfer of $1,000 from the motor
vehicle fine fund and of $4,000
from the general road fund, to be
apportioned among the five roaC
districts, was authorized.
The supervisors decided to dcfc
action on the application of the IN
land Empire Gas company for al
ordinance covering the manufactlr,
and distribution of gas until sucE
time as the ordinance in proper form
is submitted by the applicant.
The board authorized an ad va
loren tax rate of $l.2O per $l0t
valuation on land within the bound
aries Of the INLAND Water district.

The man who writes these

in magazine which comes
regularly to his desk:
"The reason that much dd-
Ue,'tising copu does not

it is SUPERIOR to lrhat it is

ENOUGH to do something
worth-the-while. But often
his eds have left the i'm
