Much attention has been attracted
bv the new FL Centre Chamber Or
Commerce sign, which has been
placed above the edge of the side
walk in front of the chamber of
commerce headquarters, facing the
street The sign is the result OF
numerous complaints that, while
driving on Main street, it is diff
cult to locate the chamber head

crs to locate this office that the di-
rectors authorized the new sign.
The sign is about 30 by 2I2 feet
large, painted in silver on black
background, reading "El Centre
Chamber of Commerce" and under
meath "El Centre Junior Chamber of

The Importance of such sign is
recognized when one realizes that

DISTRICT PLANS
ACTION TOQUlET
TITLE OF LANDS

"Considering the size OF the Inn
perial District the number of parcels
of land which have remained delin-
qfcnt in the payment of their as
sessmcnts for a long period Of time
il quite small, but in the aggregate
there are quite number Of parcals
Of more or less valuable land where
ihe owner has neglected over a long
period of time to pay any attention
to the assessments" Charles l..
.Childers, attorney for the district,
said today. "Out of fairness to the
other assessment payers these assess
mcnts' should be collected if possible.
"Thc district has the right to sell
these parcels Of land even for less
than tho assessments and thus fore
close all righ. which the owner may
lave had. This may be done simply
by action Of the board at any time
after the period of redemption has
expired. but where the assessments
hove accumulated over long time
the public generally is rather slow
!. to pay the real value of the land for
a title, based upon assessment pro-
ceedings only even though lrriga-
tion District titles have been sus-
tained by the courts in many cases
and the proceedings are regular.
7 ."The. suits which we are now start
! ing are for the purpose of adjudica-
|, ting tile title in advance of sale,
to the end that purchaser would
, be able to obtain a policy of title
insurance upon the districts deed
and in this way the district not only
be able. to obtain all of its assess
ments out of the property, but all
the property is worth. The purpose
is to quiet title in the district sub
iect to redemption. This is not un-
fair to The original owner for he can
still redeem even after decree up to
tile time that the district actually
sells the property" Childers said.
The irrigation district on Novem-
Der Goth filed suit to quiet title
based upon assessment proceedings
against Guayule Land Company.
This action involves 100 acres cor
nering the townsite of Westmorland
and 160 acres south of Meloland.
This action is in the nature of an
action to quiet title in the district
subject to redemption and the dis
trict expects to start several similar
actions. -

DEVICE ENABLES
PRECEDING OF
REFER CARS

A simple device which enables
fruit growers and shippers to con
vert an ordinary refrigerator ear
into a preceding plant has been
perfected by workers of the United
States department of agriculture.
The device weighs s5 pounds com
plete and is easily carried from car
to ear. It's use allows the fruit to
be loaded directly in the ear from
the packing house, thus saving the
cost of extra handling incident to a
trip to preceding plant, This
arrangement saves time and labor
for the growers, and in addition it
makes possible the cooling of fruit
loaded at many small shipping
points where no preceding plant
il available.
The portable preceding device
consists of small electric motor
and liigh-speed blower. When
two Of these motor-driven blowers
are put into operation in the bunk
ers of an iced and loaded car the
natural circulation of air is re-
versed. The cold air is pulled from
the ice compartments at each end
nf the ear and blown out over the
top of the load, cooling the top
layers much faster than they would
he cooled with the natural circula-
ton.
The new device has been used for
preceding strawberries in North
Carolina and Florida. and for
peaches in Georgia. More recently
it has bcen used with success in
preceding citrus fruits in Florida
TlIc portable feature is especially
important.
Bcacusc of the simple construc
tion of these units the cost of n
complete outfit is less than $3.50.
The cost of operation depends upon
the cost of electrical current and
the kind of fruit to be cooled, but
trials made so far indicate that the
total operating cost for preceding
II ear of Strawberries should not cx-
eccd 50.
Assembling of these outfits has
been started on "A small scale by a
commercial concern. However, the
device is covered by public service
patent, and anyone who cares to
may assemble his own unit.

Meurer Suggests Patrons
Wait on Curb to Board
Street Cars.

Abolition of the present safety
zones in residence districts and
establishment of curb zones except
in the downtown district was advo-
Gated today by City Councilman
Albert F. Meurer.
Aroused over the increasing death
toll from hit-and-run drivers who
strike pedestrians waiting for street
cars in the present safety zones in
the street, Meurer urged council to
take additional precautions.
There is needless loss of life
caused by reckless drivers who kill
persons waiting in the present zones.
1t seems to me that something
could be done to curb this death
rate.
1T occurs to me that it would be
practical to designate waiting zones
on the curb in the streets away
from the downtown area. Motor
men could stop when they saw a
person standing in this designated
area. 1t could be marked by suit
able sign, Meurer said.
Our present ordinance provides
that motor vehicles stop n the rear
of a street car which is taking on
or unloading passengers. Frequent
ly, because of a bieding weather
condition, careful driver strikes a
pedestrian who is waiting for a
The Indianapolis times., 1929-01-25

street. car. Thre is one slight OBJ
lection to the curb zones. There
might be a little delay on the part
of the street car, but this would be
overbalanced if a few lives might be
saved" Meurer added.
Meurer conferred with Superin-
tendent James P. Tretton of the In
dianapolis Street Railway Company
rlative to the proposal.
Tretton said he would give some
thought to the suggestion.
"Only one objection comes TO my
mind and that is there might be
difficulty in seeing the passenger,
resulting in some persons being
passed tsp on rainy or sleety days" :"
Tretton said
"One thing that would help curb
reckless drivers and prevent
drunken drivers from taking inno-
cent lives would be stringent punish
ment," Tretton suggested.
