AT the citizens meeting which
was called last Thursday night in
the Mechanic Hall for the purpose
of discussing things concerning the
taxpayers, the majority of those
present voted for two changes in the
charter of the town. One of the
changes would give the town treas
urer a fiat salary of 500 per year,
instead of a percentage of the mon
eys passing through his hands as
now prevails. The other change
would be to allow the two local
banks, the SeafOrd Trust Company,
and the First National Bank, to act
as receivers of taxes paid up to and
including August l, when there is a
discount of five per cent allowed to
the taxpayer. All taxes not paid by
this time would be put in the hands
of a tax collector, for which he
would be allowed 10 per cent for all
collections which he made. Each
bank is to receive $25.OO per year ir-
of the amount of taxes
collected. 1t was pointed out where |
these two changes would save the !
taxpayers at least $1,000. Before any |
Of these changes can be made it will |
be necessary for the Legislature to
pass ON these changes.

WILL RELATE
INDIAN LORE

Indian lore of the early Southern
California Indians will be told at
tomorrows El Centre Chamber of
Commerce luncheon, by Mrs. Lucy
o. Miller, of Guatay, San Diego
county, who is an expert on Indian
rites and tribal customs. This talk
will be of particular interest be-
cause it will tell of the history of
the Incopahs and Cocopahs, the
earliest known tribes in this section
of the state, and of the Indians who
originally roamed the great desert,
now Imperial Valley. History indi-
Gates that the mountain Indians
and the tribes of Arizona came an
nually to the desert country to
gather mesquite beans; it is be-
lieved by some authorities that the
Indian relics, ollas and metates now
found by desert parties we're left
by these tribes on their return
home after these desert visits.
Mrs Miller has written two In
dian dramas, both which have been
produced both at Descanso and
Mount Helix, near San Diego. In
these dramas she has pictured the
early American Indians, their lives,
festivals and habits according to the
facts she has unearthed in more
than 20 years of study and many
of these facts will be given at the
chamber luncheon tomorrow.

FAMILY BATTLES
FOR ESTATE OF
FORMER OFFICER

Presaging a bitter contest over the
estate of Joe Hardwick, former CAL
eXico police chief. children of the
former officer yesterday afternoon
filed in superior court an answer to
the petition of Eugene Hardwick
to set aside the whole estate TO the
widow.
Juanita Smith. Roly B. Hardwick
and Wanda Hardwick, children of
Joe Hardwick, banded together
against the widow in a battle for
their share of the estate, which she
seeks to obtain for herself, accord
ing to the answer to the petition.
The answer denied the estate
was community property, stating it
was the sole property OF Hardwick
before he died. That true inVen-
tory of the estate was made by the
widow, who had been appointed ad-
ministratrix, was also denied by the
children.
No inventory was ever made OF
the estate, which at Hardwick'S S
death was valued at approximately
$4,000, the answer charged. 1t also
asserted an inventory should have
been made at the time of death.
It is also charged the widow sold
about $4,000 worth of stock from the
estate before any estimate was made
of its worth
The children ask a court hearing
and any action the court may fine
justified
