YESTERDAYS NEWS GOOD

Good news comes in punches, some
times, and it so happened yesterday in
connection with the affairs of the I'M
perial Irrigation District.
Allotment of 100000 for force ac-
count construction of the All-American
canal between the central and west-side
mains, refund of $4,000 advanced by
the district for canal surveys, and dis
missal of the power company's suit to
force the district to pay outstanding
warrants held by the company, were two
good pieces of news to cheer up the val
ley.
The first checks on the allotment are
already in the mails and their arrival
will enable the district directors to pro-

canal as soon as plans are completed.
