them $50 feet to either side in the

At the site of one of these $50

see and hear the formalities of the
official ground breaking celebra-
ton. There Governor Merriam for

ALL DIVISIONS
AFFECTED BY
ALTERATIONS
Lavender Precinct Returns To
Brawley And All Of Calexico
In No. l
APPROVAL IS UNANIMOUS
New Arrangement Designed For
Best Interests Of District And
Voters

Two changes were made in the
boundaries of the irrigation district
at a meeting Of the board of direct
otS this afternoon which affect Di-
visions No. l, 2, and 5. The reso-
luton which authorized these
changes was adopted by unanimous
vote. of the directors.
The first of these boundary
changes affects Divisions No. 2 and
4 of which Ira Aten and A. j.
Kalin are directors. According to
this move the district voting pre-
cinct. Lavender. which had for
merly belonged to the Brawley di-
vision, was again made part of
Kalin S division. This moves the
southern boundary line Of the
Brawley division from the southern
limit of that city to the Rose canal,
three miles south and cuts this ter
ritory from the Imperial-El Centro
division. ....
The line crosses 6,a miles by sew
eral jogs and joins the former di-
vision line at the New river. The
Lavender precinct had formerly
belonYcd to the BraWley division
but previous change made in the
lines by former directorate chang
ed this.
. The second change affects Divis-
ions No. and S of which Evan T.
Hewes and Mark Rose are directors.
This is not so large in territory as
that made in the boundaries of the
two other divisions. 1t moves the
eastern dividing line of Division No.
! from the center of CaleXico to the
eastern city limit of that city, leav-
ing the entire city in the division
of which Hewes Is director. The
territory thus taken from Division
No. is known as irrigation district
voting district Calexico OBJ
The reasons given for the change
as incor) grated in the resolution
are for the better interests of the
district generally and for the vot-
ers thereof. The change, according
to irrigation district law, must be
made 60 days before any ensuing
district election.
In the first change mace between
divisions NO 2 and 4, the voters of
the Lavender precinct will be called
upon to vote on candidate for
the chair now occupied by Director
Kalin instead of either for Director
Aten to succeed himself or an cp-
ponent for his position as would
have been the case had the change
not been made. While there is no
contest Tor the district directorate
in the three other divisions, voters
there will be caiieG upon 10 vote for
a district treasurer and assessor
collector in the election which is
scheduled to DC held in February.

COUZENS AND
BORAH CLASH
Liberal Republicans At Odds
Over Proposed Reorganiza-
tion OF Party
BY III. o. THOMPSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 U.P)-The
SenateS ablest orator and its rich
est member, both independent Re
publicans, clashed personally today
as two more colorful figures stepped
into the boiling fight over reor-
ganization of the Republican party.
The touch of personal conflict
was injected into the situation by
William E. Borah of Idaho, the
orator, and James Couzens of
Michigan, the wealthy senator
Those offering new suggestions
for revision of the party were Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Gov.
Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania,
both of whom declared the party
must move into more liberal ground
The wrangling between Borah
and Couzens broke out over the
very thing which liberals have con
tended is wrong with the partys
conservative eadership-lack of a
platform.
Borah's repeated blasts against
Henry P. Fletcher, Republican ma
tional chairman, drew from Cou
zens a challenge for Borah to take
leadership in reorganization of the
liberal party and begin the move
ment at once by announcement OF
a liberal platform.
Borah is sensitive to recurring
claims that he is great starter OF
fights but weak finisher. He re
torted TO Couzens:
I'll draw that platform and it,
first plank will be for taxation Of
securities which at present are tax
exempt"
Couzens. multi millionaire whose
fortune was founded with the Ford
automobile, is known to have most
of his money in that very kind OF
security. He replied.
1--WE never heard Senator Borah
make such a proposition in the
Senate but if he does I'll be glad to
support it in spite of the fact that
Borah believes it unconstitutional
Borah appears to be more aroused
over reorganization of the Republi
can party along liberal lines than
any other of the crtlsades in which
he has engaged recently.
1t is believed among his friends
that he will do exactly what Cou-
zens asked sound the revolt call
and summon other independents to
his banner
