Ell CENTRIC MUST DISCHARGE ITS CIVIC DUTY

munity would be endangered. Ell Centre
would be submitted to the perils of a
possible epidemic. Most stringent health
measures would be necessary
There are few adiectives strong enough
to describe the pressing need which has
existed for several years. Each year it
has increased in intensity. Unhappily,
only those whose business it is to know
such conditions have fully realized the
danger and necessity for action. If ev-
cry voter in Ell Centro could visit just
one time the scene of one Of the many
breaks in the sewer system, his vote for
a new system would be assured.
For their own safety and the sake of
their own pocketbooks, as we'll as for the
safety and pocketbooks of their taXpay-

vote tomorrow for the proposition of in
stalling a new sewer system.

Ell Centrans who care one iota for the
welfare of their city will go to the polls
Wednesday TO mark "X" opposite the yes
on ballots to provide a new outfall sewer
system. replacing the present decrepit
line. Every person who lives inside an
incorporated area, at one time or an
other, owes a pronounced duty to him.
self and his neighbors to assure his own
and their health and safety. Residents
Of FL Centre are faced with that sort of
duty now.
No words can magnify the danger,
financial and physical as long as the
present system is depended upon to dis
pose of the city'S waste. Three men
have gone to their death in the recur-
rent caVeins resulting from decay in the
outmoded system. Thousands of dol
lars have been spent in repairs, an un-
economical waste of money Other thou
sands will be spent in an ever increasing
ratio unless the line is replaced. Main
pensive El Centre will save money by
voting for new sewer.
If the financial question were the only
problem to be faced, the situation would
not have assumed the aspect of an emer-
gency as stringent as it is now. The
gravest danger lies in a break such as
has not yet occurred, luckily, but which
might at any time happen. 1t is not
only possible, but probable that there
will be q cavein of such proportions as to
plug the line entirely, unless the new
system is approved. The results of such
a situation would be almost beyond the
Imagination. Health Of the entire COM
