RECORDS MADE
At MUROC LAKE
BY WILLYS SIX

Speeding around a surveyed five
mile course on Muroc dry lake, a
certified stock WHY'S Six roadster,
driven by Ed Hughes established
five new American stock car rec
ords ranging from five to 500 miles,
under American Automobile Associa-
ton sanction supervision and tim &.
ing, according to R. B. King branch
manager OF Davies Motors, Inc.
WHY'S and Willys-Knight dealer.
Hughes is a non-professional driver
The A. A. A time sheet showed
that:
The WHY'S Six covered 500 miles
in seven hours, six minutes and 45
seconds, making an average speed
of 70.29S8 miles per hour, estab-
fishing a new speed mark for that
distance.
This lowered the former record
for cars selling under Si.400 by 6.2l
miles per hour, according to A. A. A.
statistics.
Other records officially allowed
for the run follow:
For the first five miles made in
four minutes, 20.56 seconds or at an
average speed of 69082 miles an
hour.
For the first 10 miles made in
eight minutes, 1894 seconds, an

average speed of 693S55 miles per
hour.
For the first so miles made in
40 minutes, 43.43 seconds, making an
average OF 702l84 miles an hour.
For the first 100 miles made in
one hour, 25 minutes, 1865 seconds,
or at an average speed of 704136
miles an hour.
These records are for American
stock cars from l83 to 305 cubic
inches of piston displacement. The
WHY'S Six piston displacement is
1913 cubic inches. These records
were formerly held by a much larg-
er and more expensive automobile,
it is stated. The WHY'S Six is in
the low price field, the sedan being
the lowest priced four door six CYL
inder sedan on the American mar
ket King stated.
Full factory equipment such as
bumpers and spare tire was carried
and the gear ratio of 4.3 to one was
used.
Union Ethyl gasoline and Penn
zoil lubricating oil, which have fig
ured so prominently in many other
speed tests where power and per-
feet lubricat.tn were essential to
success, were used in the WHY'S Six.

Stock Markets

NEW YORK, July Il. UP)-
Huge Withdrawals of credit from
the Reichsbank that sent the Ber-
lin bourse crashing down near the
close were responsible for a sharp
decline on the New York stock eX-
change today.
The German situation was mag
nified when it was learned that only
quick action Of bankers saved the
bourse from a rout. It was also
reported that the negotiations with
France for extension of credit to
Germany had ended with a set Of
demands from France which may
result in a German cabinet crisis

rial Valley must either sell bonds OF
| secure from some other source a
sum variously estimated from S20,-
10000 to S35 100000 to install these
lateral systems and power plants
Failure to secure this money will
leave water-uSers within the present
district in the position of having to
carry the entire financial load in
definitely.
Fifth. under this contract Impe-
rial Valley is obligated to complete
its Sl,600000 payments for an
equity in Laguna dam: to supply
Yuma project with 2000 second feet
/ of water: and to furnish 1000 horse
power of electrical energy at Pilot
Knob. for which Yuma project pays
an inadequate sum.
! Sixth. under this contract Impe-
rial Valley is obliged to indemnify
Palo Verde valley and other COM
munities above Imperial dam Tor
any damages which may result from
the building of the dam. IL appears
inevitable that claims for such DAM
ages will be made. and a probability
that they will be established in the
courts.
Seventh. the contract provides
that public lands on the Mesa which
will be under the canal system cam
not be opened to entry until lateral
systems have been provided for. Un-
der this provision the date when
-
sumo some share of the canal debt
will be postponed many years, and
in the meantime the lands in the
present irrigation district are re-
quired TO carry the financial burden
of repayment to the government.
Eighth. the contract, as written,
gives such unlimited powers to the
perial Valley and its water supply
entirely at the mercy of a govern
ment official who may or may not
be friendly TO this project.
In view of these facts, and of
many other minor discrepancies in
the wording of the proposed con-
tract, we believe that it is lnimical
to the best interests of this valley,
and that the landowners should re-
main unalterably opposed to its ac-
ceptance in its present form.
Further, we believe that no work
should be started on the canal un-
til definite assurance is had as to
the income 10 be derived from the
sale of power, and that funds with
which to build the lateral systems
on the Mesa and in Coachella val
ley should be assured through def
mite commitments With district
bonds now selling at from AZ to so
we question the advisability Of at
tempting this lateral construction,
estimated to cost $500 an acre for
Mesa lands. through the sale of dis
trict securities.
In order that we, as directors
representing your interests on the
Imperial Irrigation district board,
may be advised more definitely re-
garding the views of the landown-
ers toward the all-American canal
contract, we earnestly request that
you fill in the enclosed question
naire and mail same in the enYe-
lope enclosed. This information will
be kept in strict confidence should
you desire. so you need have no
heSitancy in expressing your views
frankly and fully.
Imperial Valleys future rests
largely on the decision which is to
be made at this time, and We feel
that you can aid in the solution of
this problem by expressing Jour
views on this QUESTIONABLE.
Very respectfully,
c. w. BROCKMAN,
w. F. BEAL,
Directors, Imperial Irrigation
District.
