Through the Static

A very. very poor evening, with
out doubt. While We'll make no
statements against anyone regarding
responsibility for that buzz, let us
say that the street lights came on
at 9:55 o'clock last night end so did
that horrible buzz. Now, whether
the street lights have anything to
do with 1t. or whether the whole
business was Just a coincidence. we
don't know. Well make an obser-
walton tonight. and II things occur
as they did last evening, we'll do
some telel hone communicating.
There are enough troubles of nat
ural cause to contend with without
having added interference from
sources within the control of man
kind or something akin to 1t.
There was heavy static and that,
in itself. was almost enough to dis
courage the most rabid listener.
Early in the evening, conditions
were as satisfactory as could be de-
sired. That was before dark. We
were able to pick UP many. many
stations, within reason. and we
heard several dinner concerts, but
after dark the static started rather
suddenly, as did the buzz. From 9
o'clock on we knew no peace.
The Commercial Trust Anvileers
presented program from VITO at
1880 o'clock last evening. George
Olcott, leader of the orchestra, ar,
ranged the presentation, which was
composed largely of selections from
the popular musical shows. The
numbers were played in en- accept
able manner. A high spot on the
program was the rendition Of two
saxophone solos, one of which was
"Saxophobia." The saxophonist did
good job with that difficult num-
Der. He also played Mighty LAX
A Rose" The vocal trio sang
few numbers with the orchestra and
also presented two selections OF their
own.

Young Offenders
to Be Handled In
Juvenile Court

AS result of accidents and
near accidents that have taken place
in the past year on the Calcxico
highway with minors at the wheel
and also because of the many eases
of reckless driving on the part OF
minors that have been brought be-
fore him, often with evidence of IL
quor having been consumed by the
drivers and by others i'll the ears,
Justice l. Mayfield, states that in
the future that all such cases that
by fines but will be turned over to
the juvenile court. He further adds
that he will recommend to the
proper authorities that the opera
tors licenses in such eases be re-
voked for the period of one year.
4 feel that this should be done
not only in the interests of safety
on the highway but for better NOR
ais. I cannot believe that some
parents know that their sons and
daughters are using family automo-
biles to visit Mexicali and there con-
sumo liquor. To me it is utterly in
comprehensive and | feel strongly
in the matter. This is the reason for
my intention to take such action
with cases of that kind that are
brought before me in the future .
he declared. He also added that
although u probation officer is sup
posed to be on duty at the interna-
tional line to keep minors from
crossing the border. the plan is ap-

NEW PLANT OF
POWER COMPANY
OPENS TONIGHT
Efficiency of Service to
Be Greatly Increased
By Added Equipment.

Firm believers i'm the future of
Imperial Valley. the Southern Sicr-
RI Power company has Just complct-
ed a 100000 addition to their
present plant, under the direction of
II. O. Watts, construction supcrin-
tendcnt for the company.
\ page in progress is turned in
this change, revealing the growth of
Imperial Valley in that the company
has installed giant electrically
driven transformer. replacing the
old gas driven one. The new trans
former, installed at cost of 500 900
is four times rs large as the one
first used by the old Holton Power
company, which was discarded in
April.
FL Centre 5 electrical service will
be increased so per cent in efficien-
cy by the new plant The remotely
controlled switches of all local and
outlying districts insure fewer in
terruptions Of service.
The building in which the new
equipment is housed has been com
pletelv refinished at cost of APP
proximately $1,000. The steel struc-
lures in the yard alone cost $19J,-
900.
At 1905 tonight the Imperial
Valley electrical power is to be
switched to the new equipment
which is of sufficient capacity TO
serve community with twice its
present population. In the event
of an even greater increase the new
building contains room to add more
machinery.
A decided Improvement in the
immediate vicinity of the plant will
be effected by the removal of the
old wooden light poles, which are to
be replaced by one steel structure.
The company also plans to build a
new steel fence surrounding the
grounds, which will aid materially in
their appearance.
The discarded equipment will be
junked. The old building is TO be
used for repair shop for electrical
equipment.
Attention of power users is called
to the fact that the city will be
without power for five minutes at
midnight. while the new plant is
being plcaed in operation.
