CHANGES MADE
BY SUPERVISORS
in DAIRY LAWS.
Inspector Placed Under
Control OF State Dairy
Department

Under the caption "Thc General
Dairy Ordinance of Imperial Coun-
ty", a measure was adopted by the
board of county SUPERVISORS yester-
day to take the place of the former
dairy ordinance which had been re-
pealed by action of the board. The
principal change in the new ordin
ancc is that it places the office of
dairy inspector under the direct con
troll of the state agricultural depart
ment instead of the county health
officials as heretofore. A resolu-
tion was adopted authorizing the
chairman of the board to sign a
contract with the state department
of agriculture for a dairy inspector
for the balance of the fiscal year,
1929-1930.
A resolution was adopted declar-
ing the existence of an emergency
and giving Supervisor George Pull
liam authority to proceed with the
reconstruction of the Calexico-Mt
Signal bridge over New River with
out taking time to advertise for
bids of the formal drawing up of
plans or specifications. This work
is to be done by day labor, or by
contract either with individuals or
he Imperial Irrigation District
within the discretion of Supervisor
Pulliam. This is the bridge which
was destroyed by fire last Thursday
night and which county officials at
first thought was the work of radi-
Gals in the valley. Further invcsti-
CATION has failed to substantiate
this belief and the exact cause o.
the fire will probably remain un-
known.
Bids for supplying the county
with oil were presented by eight
firms through the purchasing agent
for the county. Samples of oil and
grease were submitted by num-
ber of the bidders and the repre-
scntatives of several of the inter
ested companies were present and
allowed time to address the board in
support of their respective bids.
The long lists of prices and other
details made the matter too comph-
Gated to be disposed of at once and
it was therefore taken under advise
mcnt and continued until the meet
ings of June and ).
Pursuant to published notice,
hearing was had on the petition to
abandon a portion Of Maple Avenue
III Holtville. Witnesses were sworn
and testified both for and against
the action, and on the request of
Supervisor Vencill, the matter was
continued until June z, for further
consideration. The preliminary plat
of Holtvillc Orchards, tract No. Il,
within three miles of the city of
Holtvillc, was presented and the
matter was continued to the next
meeting of the board.
An application presented by
James r. Elliott for appointment to
the state traffic squad, was referred
to the state traffic department. Su-
pcrvisor jackson did not vote on
this proposal.
Two petitions to gather specimens
of cactus in the county for private
gardens were allowed, and tn pc
tition of Louis Naples TO conduct Il
pool hall in Wcstmorland was set
for hearing on juno 16, 1880.
At the request of the United
States Immigration department, the
chairman of the board was author
lied to sign bid for the r.ainten-
ancc of federal prisoners in the
county Jail for the fiscal year, 1880
1881.
Due to an errcr in form, an
amended resolution, asking the state
controller TO authorize the sale of
two lots in Imperial for Il sum less
tion Of W. a. Nelson, was adopted.
