MEASURE
ENDORSED
BY BOARD
Supervisors Favor Bill
To Have County As
sumo Inspection Costs.
RELIEVES GROWERS
Latter Opposed to Paying
Salaries of Men EN-
plOyed to Enforce Law

Considerable work was accom-,
plishcd by the Board of Supervisors
III its meeting yesterday, adjourn
mcnt finally beiHg taken at o clock
last night. Approval of the bill re-
garding the horticultural commits
sioner s office in a resolution which
Will be sent to the various state of
flcials took up the greater part of
the days program.
The bill in question is to be pre-
sented to the legislature at Sacra-
mento soon. 1t goes deep into the
various activities of the horticulture
al department., specifying the maxi
mum number of inspectors that can
be used and placing top figure
on expenditures. \ copy of the bill
was turned over to the board yes
terday morning by B. A. Harrigan
horticultural commissioner, fer the
observations of the board.
According to the cid figures the
horticultural office was allowed
$4,000 yearly. The commissioner
received salary of $4,000 and one
deputy salary of $500. A max
imum of $4,000 was allowed for
inspectors.
The bill if passed will allow the
commissioner to draw salary of
$4,000 and increase the deputy $
salary to $500. He will be al
lowed maximum of $50, ,027. 80.
This is an increase of &27.927.50.
The measure, however, does away
with the sharing of this expense ly
the growers. Previously the ia
spcctors received $l5 Il day during
the lettuce and cantaloupt seasons
but only 50 of this amount was paid
10y the county. Under the new bill
the county stands the entire ex-
pcnsc. This is believed to be fair
deal to the growers as the inspcc-
tors are used for the purpose o.:
making them observe the law and
should be conducted at the expense
of the county, the supervisors hold
in the adoption of the resolution.
The budget of the INLAND Water
district as submitted to the boar i
was referred to the assessor and col
lcctor of taxes. They were re-
uucsted To get the assessed Valua
zion and make report on a tax
rate at the next meeting of the
board. The inland Water district
also filed bv.laws,' which were ap.
proved by the board
The county veterinary officer was
requested to make a survey of the
sanitary conditions existing in the
various slaughter houses, conducted
in the county He will make re-
port at the next meeting.

.PrOpOrtiOnate Salaries
by United Press Leased wire

SACRAM ENTO, March %. -
Because virtually every senator and
assembIyman has a bin before his
house to increase the salaries OF
superior Judges in his county, As
scmblyman Charlcs@F. Rcindollar OF
San Rafael has introduced Il bill
designed to fix classification for
such Judges. and make all the in
crcases prQportionate.
Under the Rcindollar measure the
80 counties of the state are divided
into five districts. The first, in
Guiding AL counties of 300, 600 or
more persons, viii take in San
Francisco, Los Angeles and Ala
media counties. The state will con
tribute $4,000 Il year, which will be
increased by the counties asking
increases to probably 10000 Il year,
for the salary of each Judge.
Counties in the second district
would receive $500 from tue state,
and u top salary of $1,000 for coun-
ties requesting increases.
This group includes Fresno, San
Diego. Santa clara, Sacramento, San
Joaquin, San Bcrnardno and Or
ange, whose Judges now get $4,000
annually.
In the third group $4,000 will be
the states share, and the salary
will be 5000 for the counties asH-
ing the increase. The counties un.
der this classification would be
Tularc, Kern, Contra Costa, Sonoma,
Riverside, Stanislaus. Imperial,
Santa Barbara, Solano, Hum boldt,
San Mateo, Butte. Ventura, Monte.
lcy, Marin and Santa Cruz.
District four would receive $2J00
from the state and n maximum sal
AIRY of $1,000. This group includes

Ia, Tchama. MADEIRA. Glenn, Nevada,

than a hit.and-miss system, based
largely on political patronage.

The lovers met face to face for

Their counsel repudiated the con

Earlier today the alleged Slaycrs

police headquarters to be lined up
with the nights run of thieves,
drug peddlers and other crooks for
the inspection of l25 black masked
detectives.
The gay, likeable Tommy Sny-

SACRAMENTO, March 22. -
Water, The cry of hundreds of
California farmers whose parchcd
lands must soon feel the touch of
irrigation or revert back to the des-
ert-will be the all,important ques.
ton before the legislature tonight.
The joint session is to consider
the proposed constitutional amend
ment of Senator ii. G. Jones of San
Jose, which would apply the doe
trine of beneficial use to all water
of the state and permit the applica-
tion of police power to control and
regulate water.
But behind the hearing is the
whole question of water conserva-
tion in California-the increasing
demand of the people of Southern
San Joaquin valley, whose farms are
slowly drying up and of Owens
valley in Southern California, still
bitter toward Los Angeles, and I'm
pcrial valley, patiently awaiting the
coming of Boulder Dam.
There will be the question of ri
parian rights as opposed to state
control of surplus waters; the $685.

of State Engineer Paul Bailey, who
proposes to "Boost' = water from
the Sacramento river to the San
