Imperial county superior court
August 81.
Charges that the district over
head system constitutes a hazard
and a nuisance are contained in
a supplementary complaint also
filed Monday by the power COM
pany. In the complaint, the pow
er company accused the district OF
trespaSSing on company property
in long list of specific instances.
Listed changes and alterations
in the district overhead system in
BraWley forced the power company
to make a third survey to accumu-
late data for it's supplemental COM
plant, the complaint set forth.
Five separate and further sup
Elemental causes for complaint list
ed 206 instances in which the dis
trict system was alleged to con-
stitute a hazard and a nuisance.
In describing certain changes made
by the district, the power company
declared company property was
without the consent of
the owner.
An affidavit signed by J. E. Mac
Donald, secretary of joint pole
operating under a Los
joint pole commission
was filed Tuesday, in
connection with the case.
Macdonald in his affidavit said
he had inspected the system be-
tween July 81, and August l, with
the assistance of H. G.. Beescar
and L. A. Johnson. Photographs
of the alleged transgreSsionS were
in the affidavit.
The supplementary CONF iainI
was filed by the power company
at the recommendation of the court
after a temporary injunction was
denied pending settlement of the
power company suit to prevent the
district from engaging in the pow
er business in Brawley.

.HEWES TELLS
SUCCESS OF
POWER PLANT.
Three Months Place
Over Thousand
On Lines

"Three months ago today
the Diesel plant constructed
in Brawley by the Imperial
Irrigation District began op-
erations and since that time
its success has been most gratify-
ing," Evan T. Hewes, district board
chairman said Tuesday morning.
"On May 18 electricity was first
generated by the plant and distri-
button to applicants for district
power in the city of Brawley was
started. Since then over thou-
sand connections have been mace
to homes and business houses in
Brawley. Many other applications
for this power service have been
received and are being attended to
as rapidly as possible" he addeo.
Hewes pointed out that since its
Inauguration three months ago
the district plant has given con-
tinuous and satisfactory service
and has firmly established itself
as the first step towards the full
fillment of the districts genera!
power program.
Beside giving us our first de-
finite step forward in our program,
the operation of this plant in
Brawley forced the power company
to lower its rates Throughout the
valley. The district board is at
present studying certain details Of
our REA contract with the fed
eral government and When these
are determined satisfactorily, this
contract will be offered to the peo-
pie for their approval after which
we will be prepared to extend dis
trict power service from BraWley
to other parts of the valley until
the coming of canal power as the
next forward step in our program"
HeweS said.
The district chairman further
pointed out that the directors are
grateful to the people of Brawley
and the district at large for the
splendid support given in the fight
to bring better service and lower
rates through the operation Of the
plant.
Heartfelt thanks are also givGn
the members of the districts pow
er department for their splen lid
and unselfi5h efforts
TO make the Brawley plant sue
cess" HeweS said.
