DISTRICT TAX
RETURNS REACH
NORMAL FIGURE

A compilation of the tax returns
fo{ the second installment of the
1927 Imperial Irrigation District as
sessment shows that normal col
lection has been realized. The re-
turn shows a 17.42 percentage of
delinquency which compares favor
ably with that of I'LL for the pre-
vious year
The total assessment for 1927 was
$2,420, 5000 with an added $27,-
1926 imposed in penalties for de
inquency on the first installment
making total of $2,447 ,562.46 Of
this total amount the district
through C. w. Barry, assessor and
collector, has collected $2,021. ILL .45.
This leaves total of 1926, ,45l.01
due in delinquent taxes.
"This is not considered an eX-
cessive delinquency, Barry de
clared this morning. Gin view of
the fact that the law provides for
10 per cent delinquency. Expert
ence here shows that payments be
tween tue ut4iii'lutht NdtI dhh thN
date of tax sale, early in September,
cuts this amount of delinquency to
well below the Is per cent mark.
. District records also show that
payments during the three year re-
demption period cut the amount to
less than four percent. This per
centage is mostly money due on un-
desirable land which will probably
never be redeemed.
'The fact that collections show
approximately 96 per cent of the
assessment within the three year
period indicates a healthy condition
in the valley and shows that the
land value is held highly
The assessment became delinquent
on june 30 and payments made now
must be accompanied by 10 per
cent penalty and 80 cent cost pay
ment on each delinquent item. The
sale will be held on or about Sep
temher 8 and the holder is then en-
titled to three year redemption
period, interest at one and one half
per cent per month.

mighty Hot Time
In the Old Town
For Police Judge

None will deny that yesterday
was a hot day, and for Judge Ken
dali b. Perkins, it was even hotter
than for the rest of Ell Centre resi-
dents.
The police judge picked out
Wednesday to return from his vaca-
ton, and almost Immediately came
near leaving in search of another
one.
During the afternoon, after he had
conferred with the last of 1,7St
clients who came to his law office
the Judge sat sprawled out in his
chair, ruminating on his vacation
pleasures, now a thing of the past
AS he ruminated, the judge smoked
AS he smoked he recalled the COO
spots up in the High Sierras where
he had visited, aud inwardly cursed
the fate that brought him home into
such weather.
In the careless manner of smoker,
the Judge flipped his cigarette but
into the Hempty' office stove ant
after enjoying a cooling drink (ot
ice waterl he resumed his seat ant
lis ruminating.
The office became hotter anJ
hotter. No man could stand sucl
temperature and retain his com
posure and the Judge twisted anC
squirmed while the High Sierra:
visions seemed more alluring thai
ever. Oftener and oftener he mop
ped his brow, while steady strean
or two of perspiration trickled t.
the floor.
His honor crawled over to the of
flee thermometer. 1t registered 1lS
and the judge, reaching for pape
! and ink, started to make out hi
will, telling himself that no MAJ
could survive such a climate.
At this point a. fellow-attorncN
came in and gasped as he openet
the door. What in heck is the idcS
of having a fire in the stove on ;
day like this?' he asked. 'Wha
fire, where?' queried the judge
One glance at the office stove wa,
sufficient. The stove had not beer
empty, but full of papers and dicta
phone record shavings and the ciga
rette butt had not been cxtinguished
The com bination produced the usua
result.
To show the triekiness of lawyers
the Judge bribed his attorney frienC
with drink at the cornerstone, Il
keep the matter secret. The lawyel

The trip across was uneventful with the exception it required F days owing to strong head winds. Upon arriving in New York they were three days overdue.
 In New York he visited with a sis ter for two days and while there took occasion to view the city from every conceivable. angle. Of particular en- joyment was his visit to St. Johns Devines church, magnificent struct-

Lech- her returned to his mothers side again prior to returning to his distant home and family in America, Seward, Alas ka His mother was very brave, how ever, at the time of parting and told him how happy he had made her by his visit to her for she realized the immense distance which separated her from her boy and she was thankful he could have come home to her then.
 He found his mother in excellent health, considering her age, and to- gether they went about great deal which, not only to her but to him, was the source of much pride, Presents, from Alaska, to her and other rela- tives, also brought much happiness.
 MT. Lechner boarded the s. s. Aq- uatania at New York, for the voyage across the Atlantic and just five and one-half days later, this immense liner of 47,000 tons, averaging 525 miles day, tied up at Cherbourge, France. And I was as sick all the way" MT. Lechner interjected.
 From Cherbourge he boarded the train for Gay Paree" then in order, Nancy, Strausburg, Munich and Schon gau.

 The outward appearance of condi- tions in Germany, were found to good. MT. Lechner says, but in reality the business future did not appear to be promising owing to lack of capitol. Prices in commodies, fares, etc., were found to be as high as in the United States and in many instances, greater.
 One of the outstanding features of his trip was the excellent liquors. Mr. Lechner is by no means drink ing man but in Europe one must in- dulge occasionally, especially, when he is making his first visit home in so many years. He did; and he recalls very distinctly one evening, New Years, to be exact, when the family 0Y76 {Iaf, f,~sn lr Al arrival of 1928, when he saw all of them drop. But not he. His mother and himself saw them al in bed. This rather surprised them, his ability to absorb from the flowing cup-"and boy, they sure have real liquor" he added just about here, for he was practically a teetotaler. It surprised Charlie, too!
 Alaska is practically unknown to the people of Europe and he was hard put on various occasions to accurately describe to them just where Alaska was located at, in this world.

 Naturally, he was very happy to visit his mother and relatives but is was a great pleasure, likewise, when the time arrived to start back home to his family in Seward. Travelling all the time, it was seldom in weeks time, that he secured good nights rest.
 AS momentos of his long trip he brought back fine collection of pie ture, which he took himself, of war; ious points on his travels; also photo graphs of his mother, relatives and scores of friends.
 Tn concluding his remarks Mr. Lech- ner said the city of Seattle and Mua- ich were the two cleanest cities he had viewed whereas New York was apparently the dirtiest.
