CITY COUNCILS
DISCUSS BEER

Mayor John Rice, accompanied
by Councilman H. w. Fawcett, rep
resented Ell Centre at the meeting
of members of the different city
councils in the county held in
Brawley last night. This meeting
had been called by the Brawley city
council to discuss the question OF
how the beer traffic was to be reg
ulated in the Incorporated areas in
the county.
Every city council in the valley
sent representatives and after
three hours of discussion it was de-
cided that a meeting of city at
torneys should be held this after
noon to draw up an ordinance
which would be adaptable for all
the cities.
1t was recognized, however, that
whatever action the various city
councils might take on this matter
the sale anG taxation of beer must
depend upon legislation now pend
ing in the state legislature in Sac
ramento. 1t is expected that the le-
gislature will take some definite ac-
ton in this matter within the next
day or two, owing to the fact that
80 beer becomes legal at midnight
| tomorrow.
A report of the Brawley meeting
will be laid before the other mem
bers of the local council at their
meeting tonight.

Ready For 9TH

There is a most appropriate dis

the window of the I. V. Hardware

the change expected to come over
the city next Friday.
The setting for this display is
very charming. A garden set-a

plates and goblets of cooling
green color. And the piece de re-
sistance-a heaping plate of good
old fashioned pretzels, bristling with

The goblets seem to be rather
small for anyone who has really
first-class thirst augmented by
years of expectation and self-denial.

built.
