In a recapitulation of his sales
for the month Of January. Fred
Cross of the Inland Motor Co. re-
ports that it is one of the best
months in the history of the COM
pany.

Der that were placed in the rural
areas" he continued.

for this splendid volume Of bus

CITY PUSHES
STATE STREET
TUNNEL MOVE

City councilmen. in a special
meeting at city hall Saturday NOR
ming, considered problems relative
to the State street underpasS at
the Southern Pacific tracks. The
action taken will be brought up
for ratification at the regular
meeting scheduled for February 5.
As a result Of the session. City
Engineer Philip knights was in
structed to submit report to state
highway engineers as a means of
obtaining $238,000 in federal funds
to help build the underpass on
State street instead of on Main
street as formerly arranged.
El Centre interests recently have
sought to get the funds transfer
red to the State street crossing
and knights report will be sent
TO E. E. Wallace, state highway
engineer, for presentation at a
forthcoming state highway COM
mission meeting.
The three councilmen present,
Roy Womack, H. w. FaWcett and
Gordon Scriven decided that no
attempt would be made to close
the Orange street railway crossing
but that an attempt would be
made to obtain the closing OF the
Ross street crossing. The council
also agreed to change the routing
of state highway traffic frol74 Main
street, the present state highway
to State street.
Since written agreement already
is on file from all but two property
owners on State street, waving
possible property damage rights
in the event of construction. and
granting rights of way. the city
agreed to assume responsibility for
possible property damage and to
secure the rights of way Verbal
promise cf cooperation was prom
ised by the two property owners,
knights said.
Instead of the city agreeing to
construct at its own expense a
40 foot wide pavement with eight
foot ciled shoulders, an alternate
proposition in which the city
agreed to construct a "a foot pave
ment through the city. was decided
upon.
In addition, the city agreed tC
furnish the rights Of way when
required and hopes to finance the
paving from the gasoline tax fund.

FUNDS TO AID
ETHIOPIANS TO
BE TAKEN HERE

To help meet the need Of the
Ethiopian Red Cross, Herbert An
dsrson, treasurer of the Imperial
County chapter, American Red
Cross, 678 Main ST., yesterday an
nounced that the local unit will
receive cash contributions for the
Ethiopian Fund.
His action followed receipt of
a second letter from Admiral Cary
T. Grayson, chairman of the Am
erican National Red Gross, at
Washington, D. c., in which he
set forth the pressing need OF
Ethiopia. Admiral Grayson said:
THE Ethiopian Red Cross TO
the extent Of its means is organ
izing and placing SIMPLE ambu-
lance units in the field and the
representative of the Interna-
tional Red Cross report that from
various sources in or near Ethiopia
personnel can be secured for reas-
enable expense that supplies can
be secured more effectively by
making funds available fer use
there than by shipment from this
country: and that at the moment
the greatest need of the Ethiopian
Red Cross is funds.
The Red Cross societies of
Great Britain, Norway, Sweden
and the Netherlands are sending
Il Eadical units to Ethiopia. The
International Committee of the
Red Cross feel that the national
societies nearest to the scene OF
operations can furnish supplies
and personnel and that the So
cieties at a greater distance can at
this time render most valuable
assistance in the form of funds"

come the more complicated ones,
in such cities as New York, Chi

Omaha. Each one will result in
abandonment of useless passenger
stations, unnecessary freight yards,
and duplicating repair shops.
Eventually, he said, the terminal
program should result in a saving
to the railroads of $50,0O0,000.
Even greater savings, he indie
ated, will come thereafter in con-
solidation of entire railroads which
he believes compete uselessly, and

Would Have Helped
4 That the Southern Sierras, if
it had the best interests of Imperial
Valley at heart, would have cooper
ated in the All American canal pow
er program, rather than urging that
use of power from the canal be de
layed for 10 years. The company
it was pointed out, contracted in
stead for power from Boulder Dam
5. That the Southern Sierras
charges consumers here a pro-rata
share of the cost of its entire Sys-
TEN, which brings power from
northern California.
The power company, in the brief
opportunity given it to present its
case, offered these points:
l. That its rural extension pro-
gram is in line with an effort TO
cooperate with the federal govern
ment in its announced rural electri-
fication plans.
2. That cheaper money" dover
interest rates., makes it possible for
the company to make improvements
which have been incompatible with
good business in the past.
3. That the broader interests of
residents throughout all the terri
tory served by the Southern Sierras
will be aided if the company is al
lowed to proceed.
Defense Answers
Charges of selfishness against the
power company brought forth the
defense that broader public interests
demand consideration not only of
the public in Imperial Valley, but of
the public throughout the entire
area served by the company.
Lester S. Ready, the districts con-
sulting engineer, engaged in a Spir-
tied exchange with Attorney Coil on
this r,int, after a discussion of the
attitude the power company should
adopt. Ready had remarked that
the Southern SierraS showed no de
sire to cooperate with the people of
Imperial Valley, the consumers who
buy their product"
You have the same definition of
cooperation, then, that was given
on the stand here yesterday" Coil
remarked. That the power COM
pany should sell out?"
There are times" Ready answer
ed, when the power companies had
better see the handwriting on the
wall, and meet the situations that
arise to keep out Of dog fight and
prevent cut-throat competition.
Sometimes they had better sell out. ."
