CANAL ROUTE THROUGH CALEXICO
WINS FAVOR AS EXPERTS MEET
Continued from Page u

Continued from Page u
CATION district, presented estimates
on difference in cost between
routes of the canal through and
around Calexico Sedgwick, after
a detailed explanation of earth
quake causes and results, drew the
conclusion that possible earth
quake damage to we'll construct
ed canal conduit in Calexieo would
be negligible.
Points Set Forward
In condensed form, these points
were made by various speakers
and experts:
l. Imperial Valley civic and
public leaders are unanimous in
requesting that the canal be rout-
ed through Calexico.
2. If constructed along the pro-
posed route north of the city, the
canal would hinder eventual
growth of Calexico in that direc-
ton.
3. A canal around the city
would lessen its trading area and
divert traffic.
4. Drainage would be less ex-
pensive if the canal were routed
through Calexico because of ex-
listing drainage facilities which
could be tied in with the canal II
it runs along the international
border.
S. Imperial Irrigation District
voters approved the canal contract
when the cost of the project was
estimated at S38,000,000; therefore
the increased cost OF the route
through the city would not be oo-
iectionable in view of the fact tnat
the canal under actual construc-
ton is costing much less than at
first estimated. The people OF I'M
perial Valley want the best canal
oossible in the most satisfactory
location. =.
s. Calexico lies five miles west
of the western edge OF the near
est earthquake fault, eliminating
danger of a conduit break from
differential motion and conflning
danger to that from eartn VlD[a-
ton, which can be overcome ny
proper construction.
7. Damage to business n q
buildings in Calexico during or pc
cause of construction of the pro
posed conduit would be practlcalIy
nonexistent. Solid soil ana engll-
eering care would protect buildings,
while speed OF construction woula a
not cause any section to be closed
to traffic more than Is days. Ar

PUBLIC POWER
AIDS FARMERS

Members of the Imperial Irriga-
ton district board Of directors
are studying a bulletin issued by
the federal power commission rel
alive to power rates charged farm
ers in California and other states
of the union by private power
companies. This study is made in
connection with the districts pow
er development and distribution
program with particular refer
ence to the rural identification
part of that program.
This bulletin shows that while
the rural rates prevailing in Cali
fornia are not among the highest
in the nation, they are still way
out OF proportion with those charg-
ed farmers in Mississippi who have
the advantages of the IVA and
the low power rates connected
with that project.
Average monthly rates charged
California farmers by the private
power companies, according to
this bulletin, are as follows: min
imum, $3.50; for 20 kwhs; $1.80;
30 kWhs: 1926; so kwhs: $305;
100 kwhs: $3.50; 200 kwhs: $770;
300 kwhs: 1920; 500 kwhs: 1920;
1000 kwhs: SOTO; and 1,400 kwhs:
S25.70 In comparison with these
the iva rates are: minimum 75c;
20 kwhs: 75c; 80 kwhs 90c; so
kwhs: $3.50; 100 kwhs: $3.50; 200
kwhs: $3.50; 300 kwhs: $3.50; 500
kwhs: 6.90;1 900 kwhs: $3.50; and
1,400 kWhs: $1,000.
1t is the opinion of board mem
bers that rates similar to those
under the IVA will be available
to ranchers here when the entire
distribution OF All American canal
power is kept completely under the
control OF the district, to be used
solely for the advantage of these
ranchers.

at police headquarters during the
month OF December. By coincidence
there were also III bookings during
the preceding month of November.
Figures compiled fer the entire
year Of 1885 show that 1870 indivi-
duals were booked at the Ell Centre
police station, an increase of 500
over 1884, when 1871 had their
names recorded by the desk SER
geants.
The 1885 statistics show that
more people were booked during
that year than at any time during
the past five years. Recorded
bookings for the past five years
are as follows:
1881, 1641; 1882, 11o1; 1893, 1865;
1894, 1871; 1885, 1870.
Chief Oswalt attributes the in
creased number of arrests to the
fact that Ell Centre is the main
gateway into Southern California
ever a transcontinental highway
which brings many undesirable
travellers here, and that drunken
ness and drunk driving increased
during the year.

cade sections would never be
blocked.
Would Cost $4,000
8. The proposed route around
the city, according 10 Calhoun's
estimate, would cost about $4,000.
A route through the city on First
street would cost about s1,460,000,
and a route through the city along
the international border would cost
approximately Sl,330,000.
9. Built through the city, the
first cost of the canal would be
the greatest, Because care could
be taken to eliminate possibilities
of future damage. Built around
the city, damage in the next 20
to 25 years would far exceed the
cost of the route through the city
by seepage, running rich agricul-
tural land. The canal right-of-
way, furthermore, would cut up
existing farm property into less
valuable areas.
10. Difference in grade in the
routes through the city and around
il would eliminate, by use OF the
northern route, about 10000 acres
from gravity irrigation and make
pumping necessary to irrigate these
acres. This was Roses estimate,
contested by Jacobs and R. B.
Williams, engineer in charge OF
All American canal construction.
With the exception of technical
details embodied in talks by Sedg-
wick and Calhoun, the argument
of Director Rose covered generally
the points brought out in detail by
other speakers.

Toned the town spreading at least

many times the danger from earth

border, or to reconstruct 1t al
cost many times the original one.
Danger Minimized
Earthquake dangers, Rose de-
clared. have played toe prominent
a mart in discussions. He pointed
out that, in the event OF an earth
quake. water in the canal would
not reach Calexico in time to do
any damage because the flrst
break would come in the Bonds
Corner region, where 'quakes are
more intense than elsewhere In the
valley.
Rose made an imprisoned plea
for the route through the city 70

for no other reason, at a point
where water at the Westside Main
canal would be higher than Woulo
be the case if the northern route
were approved. By maintaining
the grade, Rose argued, it will be
possible eventually to irrigate ap-
proximately 10000 acres by graV-
ity. rather than by expensive pump

hands will rest a Recommendation
