MORE AUTOMOBILE
DAMAGE ACTIONS
FILED IN COURT

Two more automobile accident
damage suits were added to the
already long list on file in super
ior court yesterday, when S. To-
guchi filed suit for total damages of
$2,02550 against Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Rink, and B. G. Wilburn
filed suit for $50,866.50 damages
against the U. S. Gypsum company
and Thomas McShane.
Wilburn's suit is the result of an
accident last May Is on the Holt
vile highway two and half miles
east of Ell Centro, when car owned
by the gypsum company and driven
by McShane struck the rear of Will
burns automobile.
According to the complaint, Will
burn suffered a broken rib, a
wrenched back, a wrenched right
shoulder, enlargement and leakage
of the heart and shock to his nerv-
Gus system which impaired his
sense of sight and hearing.
Toguchis suit grew out of an ac-
cident at Third and Commercial
streets in Ell Centro last January 80.
Toguchi YVES entering the intersec-
ton, and had slowed to make a
right turn, when his car was struck
by the automobile owned by Charles
Rink and driven by his wife, the
complaint said.

LOCAL CITIZENS TO VOTE UPON
SEWER BONDS AT CITY ELECTION

time, they also feel they would be
negligent in their duties if they
failed to present to the public the
serious situation attending the con-
dition OF our sewers and to give the
voters the opportunity to pass
judgment on what is to be done.
In 1925, shortly after the appoint
ment of the present city engineer,
an investigation into the causes of
gases and odors along the outfall
sewer led to the discovery of the
disintegration of the sewer. With
the assistance of r. F. Goudy, state
sanitary engineer, very thorough
examination of the sewer and of
the elements of sewage was made,
including a number Of laboratory
tests. 1t was the opinion of Engin-
eer Goudy at the time that the de-
velopment of hydrogen sulphide
and the diSintegration of the sewer
was caused by acid to such an ex-
tent as to endanger the structural
safety of the sewer.
The existing outfall sewer was
constructed in 1916 at a cost of
about 5000 900, which represented a
portion of bond issues voted by the
City of Ell Centro and the City of
Imperial in the amount of $315,000
The bonds issued by Ell Centro,
amounting to $25O0o0, were 4O-year
bonds, of which 16 years will have
been paid during the present year.
The original contract and speci-
fications were for a circular mono
lithic concrete sewer which was
later changed to a circular single
ring brick sewer. There is no evi-
dence of faulty construction con-
tributing to the failure of the sew
er. The original work seems to
have been well done and the disin-
tegration or rotting has been caused
entirely by chemical or acid action
resulting from bacterial activity.
Immediately following the first
failure of the sewer the city en-
gineer was directed by the council
to proceed with surveys, plans and
estimates for the construction of
new outfall sewer, and further that
such plans should provide for serv-
ing the City of Imperial if Imperial
SO desired.
The proposed plans call for a
pumping plant short distance
north of the city limits, an 18-inch
cast iron pumping line for approx
mately 10000 lineal feet and 27-
inch vitrified glazed sewer pipe with
acid proof jointing compound for
approximately 1900 lineal feet or
the remainder of the distance to
the river.
The pumping plant can be used
as a unit of more complete sew
age treating plant when such addi-
tional treatment will be required.
Provision for the site of such a sew
age plant will be made near the
city at the site of the pumping
plant in order that the sewage may
be treated while relatively fresh and
before septic action has commenced
in the sewer line itself.
Under present conditions, how
ever, the treatment plant will not
be required and is not included in
the proposed bond issue. The
quantity of water now flowing in
New River is sufficient to provide
proper dilution and oxidation of the
normal amount of sewage for ap-
proximately $4,000 people. AS the
quantity of sewage increases the di-
luton is proportionately lessened
and if the volume of water flowing
in New River is also reduced this
further reduces dilution. AT just
what time dilution will cease to be a

The city council will submit to
the voters of El Centro on April IL
the proposition of incurring a
bonded Indebtedness of $3.50 for
the purpose of constructing a new
outfall sewer. It is the opinion of
the city council and of the city en-
gineer that the present condition
of our sewers jeopardizes the well
fare of the city to such an extent
as to make imperative the imme-
diate submission of this proposition
While the council and the engin-
Ger appreciate the attitude of the
public toward voting bonds at this

competent engineers ! lizing in
sewage disposal to act as consult
ants to the city engineer in the
preparation of reports, plans and

was the firm of Burns-McDonnell-
Smith of Los Angeles, whose engin-
GERS made personal examinations of
the sewer and who have cooperated
in the preparation of the work and
approved the recommendations

Clause In Deeds

Decision not to include the oil,
gas and mineral restriction in deeds
to district lands, took place at an
adjourned meetings of the Imperial
Irrigation district board yesterday
afternoon.
Difficulties caused by inclusion
of the restriction in deeds were a
constant annoyance to title and alb

misunderstanding among all persons
interested in deeds to the property.
Routine business occupied direc-

j. s. employees
FIGHT BYRNS

Federal employees, in keeping
with their warnings of concen-
trated opposition to members Of
Congress who votel for the omni-
bus economy bill, today centered
their attack on Representative
Joseph w. Byrrs D.) of Ten
nessee, veteran chairman Of the
House Appropriations Committee,
on the eve of the State primary
and threatened to give him the
stiffecc fight of his lengthy ca
reer.
Byrns, who first headed the
Special Economy Committee only
to later resign in favor of Repre-
sentative John j. McDuffie CD
of Alabama, is being strenuouSly
opposed in his district at Nash,
vile by postal and other Federal
employees. Nashville families of
Government employees working
here are also allied against the
Appropriations Committee chair
man.
Although it is almost certain
that Byrns will be renominated,
his opposition is finding more
favor than ever before since the
chairman came to Congress "a
years ago.
Postal employees are opposing
him on the ground that he voted
only t.. exempt $1,000 annual
salaries from reductions inStea
of $4,000 wages, which woull
have exempted many postoffice
workers from the cut.

4 HOOVER AIDES

Hoover's present intention to
make few speeches.
He made only half a dozen or
go in the 1928 campaign, and. it
is unlikely, even though condi-
tionS this year are far different,
that he will exceed that program.
If anything, it probably will
be cut down.
Mr.. Hoover doesn't like to
make speeches and he doesn't
like campaigning. So the cam
paign probably will see him re-
duce his personal participation to
the absolute minimum, and his
Cabinet horsemen carrying the
brunt of the fight.
Everything about the Repub-
lican campaign is sort of marking
time until August II, when Mr..
Hoover formally accepts the nom,
ination with his long-awaited
speech. This speech has already
been put in draft form, but it
probably will be subject to much
revision between now and Au-
gust II.
Interest in it centers almost
entirely about what Mr.. Hoover
will have to say about prohibi-
ton. It is that subject which
comprises his hair shirt"
Caught between the Eastern
vets on the one hand, and the
Western drys on the other, and
with a platform plank which
pleases neither group, the Presi-
dent finds himself with a diff
cult and delicate task of inter.
probation. 1t is likely those para
graphs dealing with the subject
will be rewritten many times in
the course of the next week.
The organized drys are on pins
and needles for fear that Mr..
Hoover may lean too far to the
wet side of the issue, and thus
make it impossible for them to
give him their formal support.
The Rev. E. C. Dinwiddie. chair
man of the National Prohibition
board of strategy, was at the
White House late yesterday for a
long talk with Walter H. New
ton, the political secretary to Mr..
Hoover.

Leonardtown may be grown up
in some respects with it its
electric lights, ice, talking movies,

is no novelty to see cows and
horses loose chasing down the
main streets.
If the citizens are not on the

as the COWS seem to like flowers
and other young shrubs set out,
and become a cows meal in a
tWinkling of an eye.

Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy McNey, Of
Leonardtown, yesterday thought
that the hose had become alive
and was moving across the yard,
and when she attempted to pick
it up it darted out of her grasp.
Her mother, hearing her scream,
hastened to see what vas the mat,
ter and found that the supposed
hose was a six-foot blacksnake,
making for cover. Snatching up
a shotgun, Mrs. McNey, who is
not a. crack shot. pulled the trig-
ger and cut the snakes head clear
off it's body when it looked back
at the commotion it had caused.
