NEW BUILDING
OUTLINED AT
LUNCH MEETING

The possibilities OF increased
building in Ell Centro were outlined
by NJ. o. King, chairman of the bet
ter housing committee OF the Cham-
Der of Commerce in a talk at the
Wednesday MONDAY luncheon of the
Chamber in the Barbara Worth
hotel.
One of the purposes Of the meet
ing was to select a nominating COM
mittee which will name "a directoral
nominees from which members will
vote fer II directors. The commit
tee appointed by Sem Bacon were:
Percie Thacker, DR.. r. C. Clemons,
l.. C. Harrington, w. G. Scheniman
and Clarence L. Smith.
An open discussion of members
indicated considerable doubt wheth-
er Ell Centre wants one of the two
migratory workers camps which the
government proposes locating in the
valley The chamber is to investi-
gate the question further.
Improvement in the amount Of
building was pictured by Mr.. King
who said that Imperial Valley as a
whole was not availing itself of the
low financing plans obtainable.
Coastal cities, he said, are enjoying
heavy building, thus wide circula-
ton of money. He believed the pres
ent pickup will continue to grow as
rapidly as the pubic realizes gov
ernment insured loans can now be
obtained quickly and easily.

Fund of
Municipal Plants
Aid Improvements

As an example of the way in
which a municipality owned and
operated power system can be of
advantage to its customers through
the use OF the surplus fund built
up by the plant by the sale of its
power for necessary civic improve
ments at a low cost, the history of
the Tallahassee, Florida, plant is
worthy OF much consideration, ac-
cording TO an account in a recent
bulletin.
This states that Tallahassee is
making a remarkable showing with
its municipality owned utilities. 1T
has recently built a modern sew
age plant, using approximately S7o,-
900 cash out Of a reserve set aside
over a period of the past 10 years
from the earnings OF its municip-
ally owned utilities. This enabled
the city to pay cash for the con-
struction Of its new project and
thus effect a saving Of approXim-
ately s950OO."
IF it had been necessary to is
sue bonds in order to develop this
plant, it would have required ap-
proXimately $4,000 of twenty-year,
five per cent bonds" the bulletin
states. AT the present market
price and with the added interest
to maturity, the project, if fin
anced in this way, would have cost
the taxpayers ultimately $4,000.
Being able. to pay for the project
in cash out of the reserve funds
built up by the publicly owned
utilities, the city has thus been
able to save the $95,000."
In addition to this the city has
made a reduction of seven cents
in power rates during the past 13
years with other reductions indi-
Gated to follow. Even with lower
ed rates the power plant was able
to contribute a great share of the
surplus fund built up by the pub
licly operated utilities for the bene-
fit of the city.

as its beginning. Sitting in Mrs.
Titterton'S own apartment today
in an easy chair-Fiorenza told
how and why and when he attacked
the attractive, auburn-haired writer
and how he eluded police for II
days.
It was not science but old-fash-
ioned pavement pounding by ordi-
nary cops which solved the case.
These policemen were instructed to
take the 1872 inch strand of twine
and find out who manufactured
it. II seemed a thankless, tirelesS
task. Cord factories in Philadel-
phia and York, Pa, were checked
without result. Sixty-five weary
cops went from town to town in
New Jersey, meeting failure every
where.
Three days ago they got results.
They not only found the factory
where such cord was manufactured,
but found that this plant sold its
product to the Kruger Upholstery
shop. Police were instructed to
tail" Fiorenza day and night.
Late last night they grabbed him,
but took him to a hotel room in
stead of headquarters. There he
underwent what police call 'vigor-
Gus" questioning This afternoon
Valentine called in newspapermen
and said: I'VE have broken the
Titterton case"

Securities Act Is Explained By
 Dele. Dimond

JUNEAU-After briefly point ing out the background of econ- omic conditions which have exist ed for years but have become much more aggravated during the increased hazards of this modern industrial age, bringing about the passing of the Social Security Act, Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, just before he left re- gently for Washington, D. C., launched into a concise explana- ton of the act and how it could, through Territorial legislative ac- ton be applied to Alaska, when he addressed those at the dinner in the Terminal Cafe sponsored by the Democratic Women's Club, and a radio audience through the courtesy of station KINY.
 Under the old age provisions of the act all citizens are eligible who are in need providing they are above the age of 65. The Federal government will reim- purse any state or territory one half of the amount that state or territory appropriates under this provision up to $50 per month, the delegate told his audience. In other words, if the Territory of Alaska legislated to provide $50 a month under the provisions of the act for the needy, over the age of 65, the federal government would reimburse the Territory to the extent of $15 a month for everyone so taken care of.
 As It Applies To Alaska
 In applying this portion of the act to Alaska, Delegate Dimond said:
 Based on an estimate made on January 1, 1886, using the figures of the 1880 census as basis, it is estimated that 871 Indians, and 1,678 whites above the age of 65 are living in the Territory. Sta tistics from other states that have availed themselves of the Social Security Act show that not l more than one-half of the white citizens over 65 are entitled to benefits under the act. Conse- estimating 839 white and 871 Indians, Alaska would have 1,71O eligible, amounting to $615,- 900 a year, the Territory's share $307, 300 a year. Should the age limit of women be lowered to 60, an additional $54,0OO would be necessary"
 Territorial Appropriations
 In 1885 the Territorial legisla- ture appropriated $62O,O00 for the biennium or $31O,OOO a year for the following in the Territory: Old age allowance $40O,000; de-

Passenger Traffic By PA Cited
 Since Strike

Reports from the Nome offic, of the Pacific Alaska AirWays indicated that the coast strike O. maritime workers had put tho airplane industry in the limeligh as far as passenger tranSporta- ton is concerned.
 In the month between October 9th and November 9th, no pass
 engers travelled between Fair banks and Juneau in the twin motored Lockheed Electra air liners operated on regular sched ule by Pacific Alaska AirWays Inc.
 Fifty of these passengers made the flight between Ncvembcc :, and 9, taking advantage of the only scheduled transportation still operating to accomodate passengers from interior Alaska who wished to reach Seattle and other points outside. After the maritime strike had started, con- nection was made at Juneau with a Canadian Pacific boat which ran special trip to accommodate outgoing passengers.
 Many of the ut-going passen- gers came from Nome and points on the Yukon and KuskokWim rivers. These passengers were mostly busy at their mining op- erations up until after the strike was started.
 They expressed sincere appre- citation of service which enab- led them to get outside without delay to attend to the many de- tails which must be handled out side during the winter in order to keep their mining operations moving during the rest of the year.
