EFFICIENCY IN
INDUSTRY PLEA
OF GIANNINI
Continued from page II

cumstances appear favorable for le-
gislation to be adopted in Sacra-
mento which will be of great bene-
fit to the industry here.
Favor Power Program
The chambers adopted three reso-
lutions, two Of which related to the
surplus hay crop in the valley. The
first OF these asked that contact be
had with officials to keep the tariff
on hay where it is at present TO pre-
vent importation of Canadian hay
and the second was to petition the
railroads TO reduce their present
tariff by so per cent in order that
the 10000 tons surplus valley hay
might be moved to the drought
areas in Texas and elsewhere.
The third resolution adopted re-
ouested the imperial Irrigation Dis
trict to apply for funds TO build pow
er plants and distribution system for
the development and distribution of
power from the All-American canal.
This was accompanied by a formal
protest from the Southern Sierras
Power company against its adoption
but the resolution, when put to a
vote, was carried unanimously.
It was decided that the next
meeting of the associated chambers
will be held in Holtville, next month.
Entertainment for the meeting
last night was furnished by the El
Centre Little Symphony orchestra
and two groups of dancers. All num-
bers were given hearty applause for
their masterful performances.
The orchestra, composed of James
Hushman, Mrs. Lee Landerman, E.
N. D. Hatch, Mrs. Hatch, Arthur
Miles, Nicholas Novak and George
Mccarthy played several selections
during the banquet, adding mater
tally to the enjoyment of the occa-
sion.
Evelyn and Albert Low, children
of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Low OF Cal
eXico drew rounds of applause from
those present by their masterful in
depreciation of two dance numbers.
The Youngsters were attired in Chi
nese costumes and went through the
intricate steps of their dances with
q precision that was most pleasing.
The second dance number, the
Dance of the PaloS Verdes," was
given by Helen Mae Beronio, Mari
lea Hansen and Carmen Engelbret-
son, pupils of the Wooda Blesy
school. The dancers met with in
slant favor by their grace and ear
nestness and the concluding tab
leau which represented the desert
tree rearing its waving crest on
high, was particularly beautiful.
Guests and associated chamber
members were welcomed to FL Cen
tro by Harold Tyler, president OF
the local chamber of commerce.

output of the various plants indi-
Gates that the district has more
power available during the summer
mon4hs, and as the future devel-
Cpment Of new lands III the valley
will call for q large amount OF
pumping for the irrigation OF lands
above the canals and on the high
er mesas, this additional power will
be ideal for this purpose; in fact,
the successful development of these
higher lands is dependent on cheap
power. This uses secondary power
largely and leaves the system with
large block of firm power for
sale. The chart No. 2 of the ulti-
mate development shows that event.
ually the district will require power
for pumping to serve the higher
lands on the east and west side of
the valley; this may serve over 27,-
600 XIV. during the peak of the ir-
rigation season.
Fourth. San Diego a city of $780,
900 population, is only 100 miles in
a straight line from the center of
the district IS power distribution.
1t affords a probable outlet for
the sale of surplus hydro power for
many years. either to the power
company or to the city, in the
event Of a municipal system being
constructed. The San Diego Con-
solidated Gas & Electric company
now supplies San Diego with elec-
tric power. From the report filed
with the railroad commission the
company now sells around 100000
900 XVIII. per year. This is prac-
tically all generated by steam at a
total production cost of mills per
XVIII. Since all fuel principally
OLD is transported to San Diego
from outside sources there is little
chance for reduction of production
costs but on the contrary a real
probability of an increase in these
costs.
San Diego has a contract with
the government for 155 second feet
Of Colorado river water. In order
to avail itself of water from this
source, the water will have to be
brought through the All-American
canal and pumped over the noun
tain. which will mean a lift of some
42O0 feet. The ultimate plans call
for tunnel with a lift of 1000 feet.
Since the city already has ample
reservoir storage it could use a large
amount of cheap secondary power
whenever available from the dis
trict plants.
In the making of a financial set
up to accompany this report, we are
confronted with the fact that this
system is designed to care for the
ultimate needs of development
that is unler way but not finished.
For the purpose of conveying
some idea of what might be expect
ed in the future as to increased
market for power consumption, the
following extract is taken from the
1888 report of the Modesto Irriga-
ton District:
I'm 1923, just before the district
entered into the electric distribu-
tion business, the best information
available shows that the private
power company served 3,746 meters
in the city of Modesto, selling
