In the San Diego Jail the women
are not allowed to sing and dance
while in the Imperial county baS-
tile they can do so TO their hearts
desire.

the women. She was given 30-day

City Council Authorizes
Survey To Decide Ne
cessary Action.
DANGERS OUTLINED
Collapse Of Entire Sys-
TEN Might Result Ii
Break Not Corrected.

Failure OF a section of El Gen.
tro's outfall sewer last Wee-k
brought the city council face to
face with the problem of provid-
ing for the immediate construction
9f q new outfall sewer. A section
of the roof of the sewer collapsed
at point about two miles north
Of Imperial causing a crater of
about 80 feet in diameter to cave
into the sewer. Repairs to this
section have been completed, the
work having been done without in
terrupting the operation Of the
st Wer.
In commenting upon the situa-
ton City Engineer Knights stated
that the failure was not unexpecI-
eC. About five years ago an exam
ination and tests we're made by
himself in conjunction with State
Engineer Goudy which showed that
IN extensive septic action had TAX
Ell place in the sewer line, badly
oisintegrating the mortar holding
the bricks in place. 1t was then re-
ported that failure before many
years could be expected. Since then
it has been brought to the atten-
ton of the public on various oc-
casionS by ex-councilmen Cary and
Bucklin, Councilman Rice and
others that the city must prepare
10 meet such an emergency.
! The outfall sewer north OF I'm
erial is owned jointly by the city
Ct e. Centro and the city of Imper-
ial. 1t is circular and is COM
posed OF q single ring of brick. It
was constructed in 1915.
The city council met in adjourn
ed session Thursday night for the
purpose OF considering the problem
and the report of the city engineer.
IT his report the city engineer
stated tn a t immediate action
should be taken TO construct c new
cutfall as it is not known how soon
another section may fall in and
that bad cave in might cause
complete stoppage OF the sewer and
place the city in very serious diff
culties.
Sewer Commission Rice reported
the results of his examinations.
substantiating the report of the
engineer and outlined several
routes and methods and presented
the possibility OF combining an
outfall sewer, storm drain and
sluiceWay from the settling basins
ar the water plant in a single unit.
Considerable engineering work and
study will be required to determine
the method best suited to the in
terests Of the city. Commissioner
Rice explained tho seriousness of
the situation and emphasized the
need of immediate action.
The council passed a resolution
authorizing the city engineer to
make such survey as may be neces-
ssry TO determine the most suit
able location for new outfall sew
er, to employ such assistance and
incur such expense as may be nec-
essGIy and to submit a report 10

CHAMBER NOT
IN POSITION TO
ASSIST JOBL,E;'S,S' 5

President Il. e Whitelaw o. the
FL Ccntro Chamber Of Commerce
has asked that the people Of this
city do not send persons looking
for work or charity to the local
chamber because of the fact that
so many are being sent to that or
ganization that it takes almost the
staff to interview these persons at
the counter. The local chamber
has no fund fer charity purposes
and no means of investigating
whether Or not the cases which
come to their attention are worthy.
Wnitelaw stated, The directors
Of the chamber do not favor men,
bers Of the chamber staff helping
aims seekers from their individual
pockets because if this were Gone.
Immediately there would be line
Of persons coming for assistance
There is no method of checking
which persons are worthy and the
chamber staff sends all persons
seeking charity to the local Red
Cross. as urged by Mrs. Winnins
county secretary, who is in pos
ition TO make a check of these per-
sons and spend county money
where it will do the most good
Neither is the local chamber in
q position to tind work for these
people continued Whitolaw. THE
chamber staff is not in touch with
employees and numerous telephone
calls indicate that the merchants,
growers and shippers cannot use
men at the present time. When
IN need OF help it is the custom of
these employers 20 get in touch
with the employment agency and
therefore persons looking for work
have better chance of success if
sent to the employment agency
than to the chamber headquarters. "

Received Following Re-
cent Survey.

Land Bank officials in Berkeley re-
Gently were received here by the
Imperial Irrigation District, it Is
reported.
1t is expected that loans on appl-
cations again will be considered by
January l. ,:'hn sy-.em which pro-
baby will be employed is that OF
individual loans. the organization OF
associations not being anticipated
here.
Loans on farm lands, it IS eX-
planned will be made on farm lands
operated by farmers themselves ana
not on those with tenants. The
loans must be made to those who
do their own farming or supervise
their own development. A rancher
may live in a valley town, employ
his labor and operate the place from
his home yet still be eligible tor a
loan, it is explained.
Loan applications, it is said, vii
be passed upon basis of loan not
exceeding $4,000 to be paid in 20
years. Applications fer more than
$1,000 will be based u,;on repayment
in 35 years. Interest is paid at the
rate of 5l4 per cent annually with
an additional one per cent to apply
on the principal for the amortlza-
ton of the loan.
At the end Of the period, the bal
ance OF the principal becomes due
but, in all probability, if interest and
tax payments have been met
promptly, renewal may be had Oh
even an increase in the loan might
be secured. The amount OF the loan
will be so per cent OF the appraised
value of the property, such appralS-
al to be made by the bank.
Since there will be no commission
10 pay and no red tape OF delay
these leans undoubtedly will be 2
boon to the Imperial Valley ranch
er, it is declared Prompt action Il
expected to be one of the most In: -
portant features of this system Oh
loans.
The coming Of the Federal Land
bank to the valley is expected to

number of forty-acre home owning
