Inspectors Laid Off
In Engineering Bureau

PHILADELPHIA, April 16.-
Eleven inspectors In the Bureau 81
Engineering and Surveys were laid
off by Chief John III. Neeson because
of the lack Of work. They have
been carried all during the winter
and paid at the rate Of $3.50 day
out OF loan funds for work they
were supposed to inspect.
This belated show of economy
came as a surprise to both the men
and City Hall. because it was ex-
pected that there will be a resump-
ton of construction work soon. The
bureau has evidently been over
loaded with inspectors all during
the winter. No new work can be
undertaken until the funds are
available from the new loans to I,c
voted upon by the people at the
primary election on April 2.

the Curio cafe in Aqua Prieta is
"a profound secret" At least that
is what Governor Hunt termed it
when asked about the breakfast by
q newspaperman yesterday after
noon. The governor laughed a
little over his own remark however
which indicated that there was
nothing serious about the secret.
There were number Of people
at the breakfast, it was learned
by discreet questioning of some
who attended, For instance, at
least two members of the Cochise
county board of supervisors attend
ed They were the representatives
of Douglas and of the north end
of the county. There was at least
one highway engineer present.

Fausto Topete, governor of Sonora,
will leave Aqua Prieta this morning
for N,co after two days spent here as
the guest of honor at great public
celebration. Yesterday the first num-
ber on the program was the barbecue
at the school square at the city plaza.
This afil II was attended by Governor
Topete and Governor Hunt together
with their intimate friends and those
who came here with them Tor the cele-
bration
\ Both governors were served with the
delicious Mexican foods prepared with
the barbecued meat and after they had
initiated the banquet by partaking the
general public was served. Thousands
attended the barbecue which lasted
well into the afternoon.
1 At o'clock last evening Governor
Topete made his last public appear
ancc Of the trip here when he stI rted
the public dance in the plaza. With
the many colored streamers draped
about the band stand, the flags flut-
tering all about and the bright hueS
of the dress of the crowds this public
function Wis the most attractive and
picturesque of the celebration. The
dancing continued until long after
midnight.
/ At 8 p. m. the invitational dances
I which were of a formal nature were
inaugurated, one at the customs house
and one at the Club Socihle. These
were attended by prominent people
from over northern Sonora and south
ern Arizona, and again Governor Hunt
lent his genial presence to the occas-
ion appearing at the a noes for brief
period.
Governor Hunt is also leaving this
morning to resume his duties in Phoe-
nix. He expressed himself yesterday
as very pleased with the entire affair.

and there were aome prominent
members of the Douglas and
Aqua Prieta chamber Of commerce
and aviation committees. No one
who attended the affair would talk
much about it, yet all seemed well
satisfied. One man said Il would
like to tell you but lam mere

1t is pretty generally decided
that the governors breakfast set
tied some important subject and set
tied it satisfactorily to everyone
concerned While it is admitted
that states cannot contract treaties
orH negotiate settlements yet hall
the affairs of Douglas and Aqua

An air of optimism prevails around the flying
field at Imperial where the gigantic monopane cal
batross this is written, is preparing to make an
attempt to capture the worlds record for staying aloft
The plane gave every satisfaction yesterday on its
last test flight, and the who designed and pilot
it confident that perfect machine plus perfect
weather provided by Imperial Valley, will spell
for them.
Certainly these men deserve success. They deserve
moreover, the goodwill and cooperation of Imperial
Valley They have discovered" US as an air possibil-
y, something had not done for ourselves. Having
satisfied themselves from mechanical standpoint,
they looked about for the most desirable point to put
their machine to the test and they chose Imperial Val
ley
With mild climate, perfect atmospheric con-
ditions and plenty of they have everything need
ed to their venture with success. Certainly
everyone in Imperial Valley hopes they will. 1t will
much, not only for these who have put their
money and their faith into their plane and into Impe-
rial Valley but for the valley itself.
Whether they succeed fall they have brought
their pioneering is certain to be followed by others.
The most epochal flight in the worlds history, aside
from Wright brothers original effort, started only
few miles from Why then should not Imperial
Valley be the of the worlds longest sustained
flight?
Men who achieve great things readily confess that
they helped to by the knowledge that others
have faith in them. Let's have faith in the 'Abatross
and the men aboard her. Let's pull for them to win
out in the great adventure Let's give them every
couragement and every assistance for they, like US,
are helping Imperial Valley forge to the front.
