RED LETTER D4 Y

While few of US are able to be actually
on the scene, many Imperial Valley res
idents will today be present in spirit at
the ceremony in Las Vegas marking the
first actual work on the construction of
Boulder Canyon dam.
This is a momentous day in the his
tory of Imperial Valley-the realiza-
ton of dream that all of us harbored
through long and hard years. 1t seems
only yesterday we were asking each other
if we thought the SwingJ Johnson bill
could pass through congress. Today con-
struction becomes a reality.
Secretary Wilbur, who is the chief fig
ure at the ceremony, is expected to out
line the governments plans for proceed
ing with the project. The details will be
eagerly awaited by residents of this COM
munity, to whom the dam means every
thing.
1t is a matter of regret that more I'M
perial Valley residents could not go to
Las Vegas. but We are we'll represented
by Congressman Phil D. Swing and Off
cials of the Imperial Irrigation District.
Running true to form, Arizona has no
official representative at Las Vegas.
Governor Phillips declined an invitation
to attend the ceremony, asserting chat
MS state mas Hotllihs W ceieui ale anu
has no desire to take part in the occas-
ion. If this was a bid for sympathy it
has fallen flat, for the occasion will be
just as important and just as historical
without Arizona's representative.
The great work is started. but any who
expect it to be completed overnight are
doomed to be disappointed. The greater
part of a decade must pass before Boul
der dam is a reality, but time flies and
before we are aware of it we will be pre-
pairing to celebrate the completion OF
the dam instead of the start.

was. | shall tell you about it.
After the excitement, caused
when Nurse Jane screamed as she
saw the old clothes post falling out
CT its hole in the ground, Uncle Wig
gily set to work to make new hole
in a part of the yard where the
earth was more firm so it would
hold up the big stick of wood.
With a sand shovel belonging to
Baby Bunty. which that little or
phan rabbit had brought back from
the seashore with her, Mr.. Longears
began to dig. Down, down, down
into soft brown earth he dug max
ing the round hole deeper and deep
er. When it was deep enough tho
rabbit would slide the post into it
and then stamp the earth down all
around it to hold it firm
"A little deeper and | shall be
finished, said Uncle Wiggily to
himself as he stretched out on his
stomach and reached his paw, hold
ing the shovel, far down into the
hole to scoop out bit more dirt.
All of Il sudden, as Uncle Wiggily
had his face close to his post hole, he
felt some one tapping him on his
back He bent up quickly to see the
Bob Cat sitting beside him and
grinning
cont said the rabbit
"Oh! Oh.' mewed the Bob Cat
Well, I've caught you. -
$50 it seems spoke the rab'
bit. 'What-what are YOU going
to do.'
"Nibble you" snarled the Bob
Cat.

"But would YOU mind waiting
about nibbling me, until finish
digging this clothes post hole for
Nurse Jane. She wants to hang
up the clothes. | want TO dig the
hole bit deeper, il YOU please,
"It's deep enough!' snarled the
Bob Cat.
Begging your pardon for contra
dieting you,' spoke Uncle Wiggily
politely, .'but it isn't deep enough.
1T is! F." growled the Bob Cat.
"Take a look and see for your
SELF invited the rabbit.
The silly Bob Cat leaned over and
looked down the hole that Uncle
Wiggily had dug. And then, all of
sudden, seeing his chance, Mr..
Longears gave the Bob Cats head
push and down it went into the
hole. Right into the post hole slid
the Bad Chap and only his hind legs
and silly tail stuck out. And Nurse
Jane, coming along Just then with a
pillow case, clapped it, like a bag,
over the Bob Cats hind legs stick
ing out Of the hole and held him
tight so he couldn't scratch.
"Ha! Ha!' laughed Uncle Wig
gily.' ga good trick and a fine
adventure!
Then the Police Dog came and
pulled the Bob Cat out of the post
hole and took him to jail, which was
best for everybody. And if the
knife and fork will stop cutting up
around the dinner plate, I'm tell
you next about Uncle Wiggily's fly

ASSESSORS SEEK
CHANGE IN LAW
a COVERING AUTOS

n, Records available on the county
tax asse ssor $ rolls show that large
amount of tax money is lost annual
" through the failure of automobile
owners to pay their automobile tax.
The State Assessors Association
has been fighting for years to get
bill passed that will compel car
owners to pay this property tax be-
fore they can get their new licenses.
Such bill has been presented to
both Governors Richardson ana
vounp. neither of whom signed it.
However, the bill will be put TO
referendum vote in November and
ASSESSORS all over the state are ask
ing the people to support the legis.
lation.
Under the proposed legislation, an
accurate check of all cars will be
kept bv county as well as state Off
cials and receipt for the tax money
will be prerequisite to securing
new license number.
Under the present law the assessor
cannot force collection of the prop
ertv tax after the first Monday III
August, but by a recent enactment
| the county tax collector is empoT-
cred to force these collections. Tho
machinery for collection, then, is in
working order if Il bill can be
passed to force the payment of tho
| tax.
1t is estimated by Richard +. COlp
Inns, chairman of the state board or
coualization, that the fact that 4
large proportion of the ears in the
state are not listed with the county
assessors results in loss to the
state of something like $s ear,
rs an average.
Last year Imperial county was one
of the most successful counties III
the state in the matter of automobile
| tax collection, taking in about -
per cent of the total, according to
Assessor Wiley Weaver. But even
this percentage results in a large
| loss, and the proposed bin will solve
| the difficulty. he believes.
