SHERIFF GETS
PERMISSION FOR
EMERGENCY UNIT

Sheriff c. l.. Gillctt has been
granted authority to appoint %
paid deputy sherffs at Il moment 5
notice in ease of emergency. Ruling
to this effect was made by the
BOARD of Supervisors at the con-
Guiding session of the bi-monthly
meeting held yesterday afternoon.
This authority was vested in the
sheriff when he pointed out that
there is a possibility of need of an
emergency staff in view of the
present Mexican labor situation.
The sheriff assured the board that
with staff of 80 paid men he
would be able 10 curtail any out
break might occur.
II do no, believe that the Mex
lean laborcrs are planning to do
any rioting or cause any serious
trouble but | feel that this pro
lection should be afforded in case
of necessity. The majority of these
people realize that we are anxious
to help them and | do not believe
that they can be wrought up to 4
point of rioting by the bolshc-
vik - literature which has been
spread among them.
The board granted immediate APP
proval TO the plan. They also point
Cd out that the sheriff has unlimit-
cd power to appoint special deputies
with pay.
Border Deputies Appointed

the board allowing one deputy 10
le appointed by the sheriff 70 serve
at the international boundary
line between Mexico and the United
States at Calexico. Mrs. Margaret
Stanfield has been appointed by the
sheriff to fill this post. This does
away with the dispute over the
position which has held attention
for some time. The appointment as
approved by the resolution of the
board is for a period Of eight
months. The sheriff, however, must
do away with one of the present
guards Of the county chain gang IN
making the change.
The matter Of resurfacing lmper-
ial Avenue from a point at the in
tersection of the San Diego high
way to Main street with the city Of
FL Centre was brought up for dis
cussion and referred to the district
attorney.
A resolution for the abandonment

LOCAL CHAMBER
HEARS ADDRESS
ON FLOOD AREA

Verne De Tar, farm advisor, was
the speaker at the weekly luncheon
meeting of the chamber of com
merce held at the Barbara Worth
Hotel at noon today.
DeTar spoke on the recent trip
which he made to the Santa Clara
valley where he with % other per-
sons connected with the extension
service of this state, conducted an
investigation into the properties
damaged by the recent flood, caused
by the breaking of the st. Francis
dam.
The speaker said that the COM
mittee did not seek to fix the ac-
tual damage done by the flood wa
ters, but merely to estimate the per
centage of each persons property
damaged by the waters. He said
that it was found that there were
800 individual farmers who were
owners of property that was dam
aged and which must be investigat-
cd to determine the amount of such
damage.
DeTar in closing his talk paid
compliment to the City of Los An
geles for the excellent work which
it is doing in bringing about the
building up of the devastated area.
Mrs. Cali Harrison announced

cert at the Wilson school tonight.
