HOUSING SURVEY RESULTS

The good results of the housing sur
veys conducted in Imperial Valley are
still in the future, but from the reports
submitted by the committees making the
surveys there is every reason to believe
that building in this community is going
to receive considerable impetus.
In Ell Centre there are reports for eX-
penditure Of S261 400 for repairs, alter
ations and remodeling Throughout the
county the figure is approximately $3.50,
900. Even if these figures are not reached
when the work actually is completed,
anything that is spent will be gain, and
in more ways than one.
The surveys have revealed a great need
for improvement in Imperial Valley
homes, condition that has been appar-
ent to many for long time. 1t needed
something like the housing surveys to
bring it out into the open.
The anticipated building program un-
der the billion dollar mortgage insurance
provisions of the National Housing Act,
which will be launched in a few months,
will add additional incentive to building
operations.
Locally, building permits for this year
are slightly over the 100000 mark.
Considering financial conditions this is
satisfactory, but the figure for 1885
should be considerably larger. A COM
munity which is not building is stagnant
and is not making the progress it should.
Imperial Valley cannot afford to fall in
to that category.
There may be sufficient houses here,
but there are not sufficient desirable
houses. The day of living in shacks has
passed and the need for comfortable
homes is greater than ever. 1t is to be
hoped that the housing surveys will bring
them into existence.
Those who gave their services to help
ing the housing surveys are deserving of
the thanks of their respective communi-
ties for a good work we'll done.
Both insults are fortunate that they

WASHINGTON, Dec. % U.P) -
District of Columbia Officials have
started a new campaign, applying
their anti-starling tactics 10 the
crime problem.
The fight against starlings, it
will be remembered, has been car
ried on on the gadfly principle.
Men are sent out at dusk with bal
looms attached to long strings. The
balloons are floated up to the ledges
where starlings roost. The object
is to frighten the starlings into
roosting elsewhere.
A second phase of the war de-
velops several hours later Men
armed with tincans filled with peb-
bles and attached TO long sticks
climb trees along Pennsylvania
avenue They hoist the sticks and
shake vigorously. The theory Of
this strange activity is TO disturb
the starlings in their sleep so that
they will fly far away.
The same theory is being applied
to the local gambling situation. A
crime drive" has been under way
for several weeks. It started with

sensational of recent kidnapings, to-

means of conferences with repre-
sentative valley citizens both work
ers and officials, to determine what
is to be done in case labor dis
putes might arise in the future.
At first there was much OPPOSE
ton expressed in the valley to the
appointment of Glassford as labor
conciliator, the feeling being that
as there are no labor difficulties
here at present there is also no
need of a conciliator.
Glassford stated this morning
that it is his understanding that
everything is quiet here now and
that there are no labor difficulties
to be solved at present. 1t is
merely his object, he said, to get
the views of various people here
on the situation so that he would
know what to do in case uneXpect-
ed difficulties should arise.
It was learned this morning that
General Glassford is second
cousin of James w. Glassford, To-
cal attorney who died here two
years ago. This information was
conveyed to The Press by friends
of James Glassford who stated that
they had heard him state he was
related to the general when the
latter was in Washington in charge
of the bonus army. Mrs. Glass
ford, living at present in Los An
geles, could not be contacted on
this question.

Longshoremen And
Shippers Agree

SAN FRANCISCO, April T. U.P)-
Strike clouds cleared from the Pa
cific coast shipping horizon today
with the announcement of COM
promise truce negotiated between
longshoremen and their employers
by President Roosevelt S fact-find-
ing committee.
The workers won partial recogni-
ton Of the International Longshore-
men IS association and the right to
be represented in the operation of
4" dispatching halls" for hiring men
in the various ports.
The shippers, in turn, succeeded
in maintaining "open shop" con-
ditions at the ports, obtained the
right to deal separately with the
workers at each city, and forestall-
ed, for the present, the I. L. A. s
demands for a 81 an hour wage
scale and a 80 hour week.
Union recognition, involving a
" closed shop' limiting port en-
ployment to I. L. A. members, had
been the principal issue in controv-
ersy before the three man board
appointed by the President.
