Court Success
As Interpreter

Excellent interpreting on the
part of Judge Perkins in police
court this morning saved the day
and assisted in the dispensing of
Justice in no small manner. Theo-
dora Ybaia. 80. charged with vag
raney, and Lucas Garcia, so, ar
raigued for drunkenness. were the
subjects before the court this morn
ing, and finding himself without
any official interpreter, his honor
was forced to take up that task
himself. So well was il done that
but one word of English passed be
tween the judge and defendants
during the examination and that
was the popular word ''broke". used
by Garcia when asked if he had
money enough TO pay a fine.
The case Of Ybaia was continued
until this afternoon for trial at >
O'Clock upon her plea of not guilty.
while Garcia drew sentence %
$40 or 10 days. for imbibing too
freely of highpowercd cider.

STATE WARNING
TO CONTRACTORS
REGARDING LAW

Sounding a warming TO all con
tractors whose state licenses expire
with the close of the fiscal year
on june so, James r. Collins, di-
rector of the state department of
professional and vocational stand
ards, pointed out today that mid
night of the last day OF this month
is the dead line for renewing Ii
eenses for l930-3l. Under the con-
tractors registration law, which be-
came effective August IA, last, all
contractors and sub-e contractors in
California, whose operations involve
$500 or more on single contract,
must be registered and licensed by
the state. Up to June 10, more
than 21,0o0 such contractors had
been duly licensed. OF this NUM-
Der. approximately Is per cent had
filed applications for renewal of
their licenses ON the same date.
With a view to saving cmbarrass-
ment to those who delay too long
in applying for their new licenses,
as well as to prevent last minute
rush and consequent congestion in
the department at Sacramento, Col
Inns, who is registrar of contractors,
is urging all licentiates to file
their applications at once. in order
that their new .certaificates may be
issued promptly. All contractors
operating after July /, without the
new 1930-31 license, will be doing
SO illegally and win be subject to
the penalties of the law, he points
out.
Application sblanks for renewal
of contractors Licenses were furn-
ished ali hcentiates at the time of
the issuance of their original Ii
but in all eases where these
blanks have been lost or mislaid, ad-
ditional blanks will be furnished
by the department ON application,
Collins said. They may be had by
writing to the registrar of con-
tractors, Sacramento, or to the de-
partment's branch office, 222 Asso-
ciated Realty Building, Los An

REPORT ON CANAL
SURVEY WILL BE
MADE SHORTLY

Just as soon as United States
Reclamation Service engineers have
compiled the detailed data of the
All-American Canal surveys togeth-
er with cost figures, Imperial Val
Mley and Uncle Sam will get thoir
heads together to draft contracts
for building the canal.
Six or seven reclamation service
engineers arc at work now i'll Den
yer, and will. in the next few weeks
have complete report of the sur
veys for the main canal routes
through Imperial and Coachella val
lcys. The surveys themselves were
finished several weeks ago.
From those figures they will be
able to compile cost estimates that
will be the basis for the contracts
between the federal government
and Imperial Valley.
With the approval of the contract
by the irrigation district board of
directors and the United States, the
project will be ready for action by
the people in Imperial and Coached
la districts. And once that action
is taken, giving approval to the
program, the request for construc-
tion bids will be made, and actual
construction will follow in rapid Sc
quencc.
The foregoing outline of the
status of the All-Amcrican Canal
project is given by Chief Engineer
. NJ. J. Dowd of the district.
The exact location of the divers
ion works for the canal is not yet
determined, Dowd said. There arc
two favored sites above Laguna
dam. both of which are to be care
fully tested and investigated before
the decision is made. One point
given favorable consideration is
four and half miles above Laguna
dam. the other is still another mile
further upstream. Either poin:
would provide increased elevation,
for the canal system, Dcwd explain
ed.
"Those who are charged with
handling water service for the peo
pie of the valley are fully aware of
the importance of pushing the
All-Amcrican Canal project to an
early completion," Dowd declared
