D. {. UTILITIES
TAX OPPOSED
MONTGOMERY

An unfavorable report on the
bill of Senator Arthur Capper
(R.) of Kansas providing an ad
valorem tax on personal property
of local utilities was voted at a
special meeting yesterday of the
District commissioners and a sug-
gestion of the substitute bill was
included in the report.
Under the Capper bill it was
estimated that $1,000,00O a year
would be raised in taxes. At a
recent hearing officials of all
major utilities protested against
the bill, stating that it would
bring a hardship on all utilities
and might throw the Capital
Traction Company into a receiver
ship.
The substitute bill, it is esti-
mated, will raise 100000 a year
in taxes. It was drawn by Dis
trict Auditor Daniel j. Donovan,
Tax Assessor William P. Richards
and Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci William A. Roberts and pro-
vides a 4 per cent tax on gross
earnings of utilities and per
cent tax on net earnings.
An item included in the substi-
tute bill relieves the street car
companies of $4,000 year cost
for maintaining policemen at
various intersections.

STR|CTER CURB
ON FIREMEN
PROPOSED
HyattsviIIe Council DeadIocked
After Committee Urges
More Control

After several hours of fruit
less argument in the town
council, Hyattsville's fire de-
partment fight was referred
back TO the fire committee
again to see if that body could
not reach some satisfactory
compromise with the fire COM
pany.
Disappointing those citizens who
had hoped the fire committee
would soften the ordinance giving
the council control of the fire de-
partment to a degree satisfactory
to the firemen, the measure re-
ported by the committee last night
was even more stringent than the
original ordinance.
1t was first proposed that the
town council have veto power over
all officers elected and members
taken in by the firemen. Last
night the committee recommended
that the council appoint the chief,
assistant chief and lieutenant of
the company outright. The fire.
men would be allowed, under the
later plan, to use funds con-
tributed to them without solicita.
ton, but the council still wants
to handle the money appropriated
to the fire department by the
county.
Sentiment among the firemen
last night still ran high against
any measure that would deprive
them of their independence or
in their opinion take away their
status as a volunteer fire com.
pany."

TRAFFIC OFFICERS
ASK COOPERATION
OF FAIR PATRONS

Peace .officers throughout Impe-
rial Valley have Joined in warn
ing TO motorists who drive their
cars to the county fair that all
automobiles parked at the fair
grounds should be locked, and that
no articles of value be left in the
cars while spectators are watching
the fair.
The warning carries an added
significance when the number OF
automobiles reported stolen during
late weeks is considered, since this
county seems to be in the grip of
an epidemic of automobile thefts,
according to officers.
Motorists have also been asked to
exercise great care in driving to
and from the fair, since the large
crowds will make heavy traffic
certainty. ANY great speed on the
highway will prove dangerous both
to the driver of the speeding car
and to others on the highway.
Capt. Frank Oswalt Of the Cali
fornia highway patrol station in
e. Centro has appointed a special
detail of his officers to watch traf-
fic about the fair grounds, and to
make sure that motorists obey all
rules.

CRANDE COMPANY
FEATURES UNIQUE
LETTUCE PACKING

Featuring a unique type of let
tuce packing necessitating a crate
lis inches taller than the STAN
dardized crate, the Grande Packing
company procures a premium OF 25
cents a crate above the usual price.
This is a a patented pack known
as the Grandepak. Contrary to the
usual practice, ice is placed on the
bottom of the crate and each layer
of lettuce is covered with a sheet
of insulated, perforated, frost proof
paper TO keep the ice from burn
ing the heads, according to
Grande.
Each crate is packed In an unus-
ually attractive manner in gay
striped paper and striped crates, in
each instance matching the label.
This is the first year the COM
pany has engaged in packing in
Imperial Valley but has been active
for years in Watsonville, Salinas,
San Fernando Valley, Phoenix and
Yuma, Ariz. Grande also is active
in the Calexico district as we'll as
in FL Centro area.
Grande is a pioneer packer and
he farms and buys patches from
growers. In all dealings, said
Grande, the company pays cash
Immediately. He employs 80 in
dividuals throughout the year and
in the peak of the seasons adds
the number of employees necessary.
The company ships approximate
ly 5000 cars annually and the an
nual payroll is more than 100000.
Grande recently applied for
patent for a new type of refriger-
ator crate using dry ice. Separ-
ate crates containing one dozen
heads of lettuce will be nested into
one large crate This will permit
dozen heads to be sold without
disturbing the contents of the re-
naming three crates in the nest.

The great army of consumers de-
mands smaller chops, smaller

thinks that from now on Tor

FREEDMAN FIRM
SATISFIED WITH
THEIR BUSINESS

That the Sam Freedman Pack
ing company has reached the ldeaI
and most convenient size for such
a firm was the statement OF OFF,
cials who recently discussed the his
tory and products of the business.

of activity in all branches, the firm
is content with its present pros
poets, officials believing they have
attained an ideal proportion for
convenience of handling various
problems, they said.
The annual payroll of the Freed
man company is between $4,000
and 100000 with a shed crew Of
between 65 and rs men working at
the peak of the season. and per-
manent office crew Of 10 persons.
The company follows the usual
plan Of financing growers, although
il has some acreage under lease.
During the melon season this year
sheds will be oprating in both FL
Centre and Brawley, although the
county seat is the firms headquar-
tiers.
Packing and shipping activities
of the firm are divided between
cantaloupes, honeydews, casabas
lettuce, carrots, spinach and chic
ory, with cantaloupes and honey
dews leading the field in the melon
division and lettuce the largest
factor in the vegetable list.
The firm first started business
in FL Centre three years ago. Since
that time it has grown, under the
personal supervision of Charles
Freedman, to the place it has
reached at the present time.
