Carpenter Of Rio Hondo. member
Of the Arroyo Colorado Navigation
district commission. was severely
critical Friday OF action OF the COM
mission in accepting contract Of a
Baltimore firm for q dredge to be
used in cutting nine-foot channels
linking with the Arroyo.
Carpenter declared that he was
rot notified of the meeting which
was held Thursday night, and
charged that this was due TO his
known opposition TO the Baltimore
firms opposition.
He stated his belief that COM
mjSsioners j. l.. Penny and j. b.
Chambers ST.. were wrong In enter
ing into this contract, charging that
II would be necessary to purchase
a number OF extras. He said that
under a contract offered by q
competing firm. pipes. floats. and
other extras would have been in
cluded at the same price.
Carpenter, who Is SECRETARY OF the
commission, also charged that the
money Is being paid In advance TO
the Baltimore firm, instead Of upon
delivery of the dredge.
He said his first knowledge OF
purchase of the dredge came from
reading about II In newspapers FRI
dav morning.
Penny was out OF the city Friday
morning, and Chambers could not

passenger boats.
In the violations listed by the in

ported. were failing to comply with
regulations by not possessing proper
lights. fire extinguishers, sound
equipment, etc.
The customary penalty for viola
ton Of department OF commerce
regulations is 500 per day.
The Valley cases. unless settled
out of court. will come up for trial
