Brawley division but mainly from
the Calipatria division. In all
this fight, said Rose, "not one
thing ever has been said against
Mr.. Adams. 1t is not a fight to re-
call a director but a fight to recall
the canal. -
Young laughed and asked Rose
not to ring in the canal as the
present meeting had nothing to do
with it and it should not be men
toned.
In savings of "many thousands
of dollars made by Young in the
management of the Calipatria di-
vision, Young read a letter from
t h e division superintendent in
which 1t was set forth a saving of
$500 a year was effected with but
one reduction in salary and the
dismissal Of the assistant superin-
tendent. Ira Aten said the assist
ant superintendent was dismissed
before Young became board
member and that he had nothing
to do with it. M. j. DoWd, chief
engineer and general superintendent,
said that the district had lost more
in wasted water than it had gained
in cutting one salary and dismissing
one man.
This led to a discussion between
Rose and Young on district print
ing in which the former declared
there is a combine against the dis
trict on public printing. Young de-
clared his belief the papers would
not steal from the district or the
county.
DoWd presented a statement from
the purchasing department in which
it was explained that the purchaS-
ing is done under his direction and
is based on quality and price.
Rose denied a charge that the
district bought from friends and ex-
pressed confidence in Madux and
DoWd. Dowd invited the board to
visit the purchasing department
and to make any suggestions where
savings could be made.
HeWes said if he believed saw
ings could be made he would rec
ommend them.

ShdlU SlUorn In AS
Los Angeles Mayor

LOS ANGELES, June IA. U.Pl-
If political adversaries of Mayof-
eject Frank L. Shaw planned an
attempt to keep him from taking
office July l they seemed today
to have been forestalled.
AS a surprise move, Shaw ap-
peared before the city council late
yesterday and took the oath of
office as mayor, effective July l.
Legal advisers believed this move
successfully forestalled any attempt
to disqualify him, an attempt,
which if successful, automatically
would have retained Mayor John c.
Porter in office until the next
municipal election two years hence
Should the office now be de-
clared vacant for any reason, it
was believed, the council will choose
another mayor.
Opponents alleged Shaw was not
a citizen of the United States.
