place.
After the controversial subject
was settled by three to two vote,
the board settled down to the
transaction of routine business.
B. A. Graham presented the
resolution asking the state cham
ber of commerce to oust Hetzel

Schlatter and Supervisor Gra-
ham and Dave Vencill favored the
resolution. A. Y. Preble and H. T..

Hetzel had failed to consult other
county organizations before max
ing recommendations for road de-
velopment and improvement in the
county and he did not think it
best for one man to set himself
up as road authority for the
whole county. Vencill said he
favored Hetzels removal because
he had not recommended roads in
the Holtville area to the state
chamber to recommend to the state
highway commission in the past.

COAST STRIKE
FAILS TO HIT
CANALWORK


The maritime strike along the
Pacific coast has had little ef-
feet upon the material shipments
to Imperial dam and the All
American canal because most of
the materials are dispatched by
rail, declared r. B. Williams,
reclamation bureau engineer in
charge of construction.
One or two shipments of
materials were made by boat, he
said, and these are held up by
the strike. Since the trouble
began, officials arranged to have
the orders come via railway lines
for delivery at the place needed.
No serious delay resulted from
the materials being tied up in
the harbor, said Williams, and
the delay occasioned no inter
ference with the labor required
to carry on the work at the dam
along the canal.
Until the strike is settled, he
concluded, officials plan to avoid
shipment of materials by boat.
