IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
SWING TO LEAVE?

/
ACCORDING to an account of testi-
n monial dinner rendered him in San
Diego on Wednesday, Phil D. Swing, for
mer congressman from the old 18th dis
trict of California, plans to make his fu-
ture home in that city and will practice
law
This news, if true, will be regretted by
his many friends in Imperial Valley, in
the affairs of which he has played such
prominent part for the past quarter
Of a century.
As practicing attorney, attorney for
the Imperial Irrigation District, district
attorney of Imperial county and Judge
of the superior court, he was the out
standing citizen in Imperial Valley when
he was first elected to congress in 1920.
His record in congress is too we'll
known to need any comment. He repre-
sented a district larger in area and more
diversified in its products and industries
than any other district, over period of
II years. His outstanding achievement,
of course, was the successful battle in
behalf of Colorado river development as
provided for in the Swing-J ohnson bill.
In the ordinary routine work of con-
gressman and in his duties on commit
tees and on the floor Swing was known
as one of the most conscientious and
hard working members of congress.
If he has definitely decided to locate
in San Diego, he may be sure of the best
wishes of Imperial Valley. which will al
ways be appreciative of his efforts in its
behalf and will be happy in having him
as neighbor with whom we can have
occasional visits here and, on the coast.
Life won't seem just the same from
now on. G. B. S. is making his first visit
to the United States.
The oft quoted statement that many
public officials take their responsible
ties lightly, is proved by the admission
of Los Angeles chief school architect
that officials were "a little careless"
about school building inspection.
