STATE CREDIT.
HELD STRONG
Treasurer ScOffs
At Financial
Reports

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 6. UR)-
California may purchase its own
registered warrants and save money
for the state if banks and bonclng
houses decline to accept investments
paying 4 per cent interest, State
Treasurer Charles G. Johnson said
today in a statement submitted to
Gov. Frank F. Merriam.
Soothing at recent reports that the
states credit structure was weaken
ing-aS evidenced by the refusal OF
San Francisco bonding houses to
purchase unemployment relief war
rants several days ago-Johnson
said there was absolutely no foun-
dation for alarm"
"Californias revenues are the
greatest in the history of the state" ;"
he said. while it is possible, due to
the enormous budget passed during
the recent session of the legislature,
there will be substantial deficit
at the end of the present biennium,
cooperation between the various
state departments can go a long way
to relieve the present situation being
forced upon the state by financial
interests.

tion office in Ell Centro.
The announcement came from
Ralph B. Smith, district director of
Hickox, WPA county manager.
A federal appropriation of $63,87I
is anticipated, Smith said, together
with $35,072 contribution from the
district. The project is expected
to be started as soon as federal
funds are released and men from
county relief rolls are available, ac-
cording to Smith.
The new spillway at No. 4 head
ing, district officials said, will be
built on the central main canal and
will provide an automatic control
of water designated for the Braw-
ley division. The existence of the
control, it is said, will improve the
service for the Brawley division
and provides sluicing facilities not
possible at present
Two Drops Planned
The spillway will be built from
No. heading to New river and will
be open bitches with three stretches
of rubble masonry. Two 30-foot
drops will be built, according to
Charles Delp, office engineer.
A total of 3O4 wooden checks
used in controlling the flow of wat
ers in the laterals will be built at
various points in the system, Delp
said. The checks will vary in size
from three feet in width and three
feet in height to 16 feet in width
and eight feet in height. They will,
! be built where needed in all six di-
visions.
The WPA will provide 4O5,00C
board feet of Oregon pine for the
checks while the district will con-
tribute 365,000 board feet of red
wood. The WPA will provide the
labor and the district will furnish
the supervision.
Evan T. Hewes, president of the
district board, said the replacements
of the checks was made necessary
at this time because requirements
were not possible following the
drouth of 1884. The drop in water
sales caused a shortage of money
he said, and maintenance work fell
far behind.

Capital Transit Officials
Ask Lower Assessments

Representatives of the Capital

in the county.
The transit officials pointed oua
that the company is assessed SIC, ats
for 9h miles on Wisconsin Avenue
of which they actually own but S.75
miles, the rest being in public streets
and highways. One mile in Rock
vile, assessed at 5000, has been
abandoned and q power house and
machinery at Montrose for which the
company is assessed 5000 is aban-
doned and dilapidated. An assess
ment of $1,000 would be fair, the
company argued
The Connecticut avenue line, which
is assessed at $21, 900 for cars al
Chevy Chase Lake, $500 for q
power house that has not been used
for years and $40,250 for 2 miles Of
double track which now is being
removed, also should be taken from
the books, the company contended.
The county commissioners said
they would direct the county assessor
to make an investigation and report
his findings.
