LET'S GET TO WORK

Following few tense moments during which
spectators waited for fireworks which failed to mater
lallZe, Ell Centro's city council organized last
night, with William j. Clements elevated to the posi-
ton Of mayor honor which he was entitled by the
splendid votes accorded him years ago and in the
recent election and his services on the council during
the past two years
In taking the office the mayor pledged him
self to work for the best interests of the city of Ell Cen
and those who know him agree that he is sincere
in his desire to give this city his best services.
Il believe the board is harmonously organized"
he mayor said after the council meeting had ad-
journed, land there is why cannot work
together to carry out the promise of businesslike
administration"
That is all the citizens and taxpayers of the city
ask of those whom they elected to the council The
Jority of the citizens not interested in political
factions or cliques but they interested in the well
fare of the city.
They desire to have the various departments of
the city government function in the most efficient
ner and as economically as is consistent with good
business methods.
In congratulating the new council and wishing it
every it will not be amiss to express the ap
probation of Ell Centro to Ralph H. Cary and John T.
Rice who retired from the council last night. For
four years these have given much of their time
and energy to Ell Centros welfare and they have given
it unselfishly. They proved themselves capable and
willing public servants and citizens of the best type.
Their departure from the council would be distinct
loss to Ell Centre it not for the fact that they
replaced by two of the high calibre, Mr..
Couch and Mr.. Ganoa, both of whom capable of
functionng up the high standards by their prede
cessors.
Nor might it be amiss to state that the splendid
tribute paid last night by Mr.. Bucklin the retiring
mayor the chief Of police we'll deserved. Ell
Centro be proud of him and he be proud of
the work he has accomplished in the past two years.
If permitted do there is every to believe
that he can improve upon this record in the future.
The Press reiterates the statement made before
the election that the next four to be import
ant for Ell Cenro and with the decks cleared for
action much be accomplished if politics given
a rest for while, to be replaced by hard and con-
Structive work.
