SAYS SCHOOL
COSTS LOWER

Schools of California have cut
expenditures $48,000,000 during the
present year over the same period
the total savings of all other gov
ernmental departments Of the state
combined, stated G. B. Collins,
county superintendent of schools,
at the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce luncheon yesterday noon. I'M
perial. county has done its part
toward this cut by reducing ex-
penditures in the elementary schools
$4,000 and in the high schools
1923 900, total of $280,000 less up
to April l this year than for the
same period last year, he said.
Last year at this time there was
$4,000 outstanding in unpaid reg
istered warrants in the elementary
schools, this year there are but
$13 900; while the high schools have
cut their outstanding unpaid war
rants from $4,000 to $162. of
taxes were collected and the tax
moratorium were not in force, y
stated the speaker, sat the end of
this year we would have more
money to the credit of each school
district at the end of the present
year than we had last year."
The total elementary school ex-
penditure in the county, including
permanent improvements has in
creased from $650,000 to $740, 900, or
IA per cent in the last seven years,
although attendance has increased
from, $4,000 to $1,000, or almost 35
per cent This indicates that the
per capita cost has dropped from
$1.01 seven years ago to $0.72 at
the present time. In the high
schools the total cost has decreased
over the same period from $541 900
seven years ago to $457,000 last
year, or IL per cent, although en-
rollment has increased from 1,248
to 2,032, or SO per cent. In spite
of the increased enrolment, the per
capita cost per pupil has dropped
from $4.34 to 1924.
Collins stated that the state con-
tributes II per cent of the school
cost, while the county and school
district contribute SO per cent. This
works hardship on counties which
are poor, and on school districts
which are small. The solution for
lowering county school expense, the
speaker stated, would be material
increase in the share of the state
and, revision of the tax structure
so all wealth would produce its
share of taxes.
A number of visitors were present
at yesterdays chamber meeting and
Roy S. Hayden of San Diego stated
that the San Diego county cham
beers of commerce is planning a
joint meeting with the associated
chambers of Imperial county at
Jacumba during June. .

City Licenses
Must Be Paid

Merchants who have been negli-
gent in the matter of attending to
their license tag payments are
warned that the police department
intends TO launch campaign
against such delinquencies. AS the
first movement in this campaign
three local businessmen appeared
in police court yesterday afternoon
to answer complaints on this score
which had been filed against them.
Mike Abdelnour was charged with
violating this city ordinance in the
operation of his Ell Centre orive-in
market and the Barbara Worth
Water company. This charge was
dismissed, however, when he show
ed that he had paid the required
tax when it had been brought to
his attention a few Gays ago
Gabriel Abdelnour and Maurice
Peters also appeared to answer sim
liar complaints, the former for
operating the Eastside grocery, the
latter clothing store at 459 Main
street without the necessary per-
mits. A $50 or is days in Jail SEN
tence was pronounced against each
defendant by Judge Lee Nuffer
which was suspended, however, on
condition that they pay up the de-
linquent taxes before the first of
June. This each promised to do.

INDUSTRIES IN
STATE REVEAL
IMPROVEMENT

Concrete evidence that improve
ment in the condition of many
California industries was under
way prior to the launching of the
initiation policy is brought out in
a statewide survey reported in the
April issue of the Bank of America
Business Review.
Employment in the construction
field increased 25 per cent in March
over the preceding month, while
the number of men employed in
building and assembling automo-
biles in March of this year was So
per cent higher than in the like
month of 1882. Cannery work in
creasd appreciably, and the return
of legal beer sWelled the brewery,
trucking company and glass manu-
facturers' payrollS.
Building permits of 80 California
cities increased 469 per cent last
month. While this showing was in
fluenced by rebuilding plans fol-
lowing the Southern California
earthquake, the rise was not en-
lllCly dlIIlDuIdDlc W Illc CdIdoOIO-
phe, for the aggregate total of
building permits for eight western
states was 28.1 per cent above the
showing for February.
Numerous favorable factors be-
came apparent in the agricultural
industry of California last month.
The principal price increase was
registered by hops, the value of
which rose to $50 per cent over the
1882 showing. Advances in the price
of beans in March are estimated to
have added potential value of $685.
900 to this years crop. After sag
ging in March, butter prices scored
a favorable increase during the
first three weeks of April.
! Killing frost which struck the
inland valleys of the state during
the first half of the current month
augmented the effect of voluntary
curtailment plans, resulting in a

NEW HIGHWAY
INSPECTED BY
ORANGE GROUP

Inspection of the Imperial High
way was made last weekend by
the Orange county planning COM
mission. At Warmers Ranch John
r. Quinn, supervisor of Los Ange-
les county, Mrs. Quinn and George
w. Jones, road commissioner from
that county, accompanied by Hugh
T. Osborne, president of the I'M
perial Highway association, and
Mrs. Osborne met the party. Com
pleting the trip over the new high
way, the party turned west on u.
S. Highway 80 and travelled to
Mount Laguna, where they spent
the weekend, using the facilities
of Al Bahr Shrine camp and Ke-
hoes Resort.
Robert Hays, manager of the Ell
Centre Chamber of Commerce, had
made arrangements at Laguna for
the party and conducted the visi-
tors to Garrett Peak and to Lake
Cuyamaca. The Imperial Highway
association is urging the compile
ton of the road between Mount La
guna and Lake Cuyamaca in its de-
sire to open the whole area tribu-
tary to the Imperial Highway.
The party Saturday, many of
whom had been over the Imperial
Highway before, were all gratified
at the Improvements being made in
the route. All but a. short sector ly-
ing in San Diego and Imperial
counties has been recommended for
inclusion in the state secondary
system and it is the hope of the
group who went over the road last
weekend that the entire mileage
will be taken over by the state.
Mount Laguna area was new to
this group and they expressed won-
der that there should be fine for
est in the extreme part of South
ern California.

That the hay market is strength

do SO is the opinion of Scott 2.

Foulds bases his opinion on the
fact that there will be a shortage
of hay in the Los Angeles market.
The first cutting has been almost
exhausted and it will be several
weeks before the second cutting
will be moved in any volume. Lack
of rain on the coast has contrib
uted to the shortage.
