ton to the opposition to Mountain
Springs grade realignment they vot-
ed changes in bylaws, adopted a
budget and approved constructive
measures against the control of
white horse nettle.
Prior to the vote on road realign-
ment considerable discussion took
place, the feeling of the majority
being that they were opposed to
any such expenditure of money by
any agency, believing the project
unnecessary and that it might in
terfere, despite assurances given
to the contrary, with the alloca-
ton of funds for use in this county,
particularly with the farm bureaus

Road committee members at the
meeting with the board of super
visors when the project was ap-
proved had stated that they would
not oppose the project if it did not
require use of funds designed for
farm to market roads or which
would otherwise be allocated to the
county,
j. E. Harshman, for the bylaws
committee, presented the report of
that committee recommending a
number of important changes in
the bylaws, these changes being
adopted by the directors by unan-
imouS vote.

involved more discussion than 9TH

ent part of the bureau, administer

BEE KEEPERS
HOLD ANNUAL
MEETING HERE

Bee keepers of Imperial Valley
gathered at the Ell Centro city park
Sunday for their annual convention
and reelected all their former Off
GERS for another term.
The poisoning of bees by sprays
and busting of vegetables provided
the main topic for discussion. Bee
keepers declared the main benefit
derived from the county ordinance
requiring growers to warn bee keep
ers when they contemplate using
poison in the fields, was that most
of the growers stopped using poison
rather than be bothered issuing the
warnings.
A fund was collected to defend
the rights of the bee keepers in an
attempt to outlaw the scatterini of
poison from airplanes.
