Dr. Louis J. Dumont, supcrintend mt of health, today opened an In- uiry into alleged insanitary condi- ions at the Camp school. as a result
 a complaint lodged with him by he mother of a pupil.
 The school is one of the oldest iu he city. It is operated under the teacher training plan in cooperation with the State Normal school, an arrangement by which the munich pality provides the building, janitorial service and maintenance, while the state furnishes the teach- CTS, fuel and pays other expenses.
 The complaint made to Dr. Du- mont concerns sthe condition of plumbing. A ninspection will be made by Dr, Dumont and Plumbing Inspector o, A. Peterson at the latter'S convenience.
 Conditions in this and other schools was the subject of a long report prepared by Inspector Peter son several years ago after he had taken office. He recommended sweeping changes in several build ings. Some of this work has been carried out, but much remains to be done. The passage of several years is believed 10 have aggravated the conditions found by Inspector Peterson prior to his report, and it is expected that the latest inquiry will result in another urging to the school committee that changes be made.
 In the execution of plumbing con- tracts in many of the older build i ings, slate was used rather extensive iy, giving rise to objectionable con- ditions, it is explained.

HOOVER FR0WNS
ON GOVERNMENT
CLEANING CITIES

WASHINGTON. Nov 25. UP
Suggestions that the federal govern
ment should begin campaign to
curb local racketeerng were
frowned upon today by President
Hoover.
In statement made to the semi
weekly press conference the PreSi-
dent described such suggestions as
"a reflection on the Sovereignity and
the stamina of state governments >"
Two things are needed now to
diminish criminal activities in seve-
gal large localities" Mr.. Hoover said.
The first is an awakening OF
civic governments which have failed
10 protect citizens against crime,
and the second is a support Tor
these organizations which are en-
deavoring to suppress racketeering.
There is no intention on the part
of the fedora government OF spon-
Soring any general laws to assume
responsibility Of local enforcement
officials in places where enforce
ment IS lax" The President said.

CROSSING PERMIT
IS VICTORY FOR
CITY ATTORNEY

FL Centre businessmen were
greatly pleased with yesterdays an
nouncement in the Press that the
railroad commission had granted the
city permission to cut State street
through and across the Southern
Pacific tracks.
To most citizens the commission S
order, which makes through high
way out of State street, is deemed
% augur new era of growth and
prosperity for El Centro Numerous
public improvements contemplated
FOR State street have been held up
awaiting the railroad commission 6
decision, and with the granting OF
permission to cross the tracks it Is
assumed these Improvements will be
very quickly commenced and new
money liberated in the city.
One Of the most enthusiastic per-
sons is w. A Tondro, director OF
the chamber of commerce and q
State street business man. This
news is fine" said Tondro With en-
thusiasm. II can already visualize
a greater and more prosperous e!
Centro. 1t was a splendid achieve
ment."
TOO much praise cannot be gwen
the stand the council took in press
ing the matter, nor the fine work
done by Dorsey Whitelaw, city at
torney This permission to cross the
tracks was granted on 4 re-hearlng
before the railroad commission and
was unprecedented procedure. 1t
meant double work for the city at
1orney, who III such cases has TO
bear the most of the burden. The
opinion written by Commissioner
Carr took minutes or hours to pre-
pare and two seconds to sign, but
we must remember that City Attor-
ney WhitelaW worked for months
each time to prepare for these hear
ingS, searching out authorities, eX-
amining and inStructing prospective
witnesses and in his pleadings and
preparation of briefs. He won a
great triumph, turning defeat into
a splendid victory.
II was involved in these hearings
and appeared twice as a witness and
spent many hours in the court room
and realize just how much work fell
On the city attorneys shoulders. Ii
I had my way, would request every
member of the Ell Centro ChambeE
of Commerce to write personal let
ter of appreciation to Dorsey White
law, who has so triumphantly
brought the city through difficult
situation and achieved something
almost without parallel in RAILROAD
commission annals"

SAID 10 be tall, and the third Slight
" shorte. This is the only descrlp-
tlcn available. Each OF the robbers
carried a As automatic, with which
they meraced their victims.

to Paul Brown, state traffic officer
who turned the report over to the
sheriff'S office.
The methods used in both rob-
berries were the same, said the VIC
Tins. The robbers forced their cars
from the highway, leVeled pistols at
The occupants, and took their
money On one occasion, when a
car passed, one OF the highwaymen
pretended to be changing q tire.
The robbers were driving a new
