PLANS DRAWN
FOR ANNUAL
FLOWER FETE

Mrs. J. S. Jones, chairman of the
Ell Centro chamber of commerce
tree planting. committee and chair
man of the Palo Verde festival, is
urging Ell Centre residents to take
special care of flowers which are
now commencing to bloom or will
soon be in blossom, SO there will
be ample flowers for the flower
show connected with the Palo
Verde event.
The date for the Palo Verde fes-
tiVal has not yet been set. and will
depend upon the foliage of the Palo
Verde trees and the condition Of
the flowers. II is certain, however,
according TO Mrs. Jones, that the
festival will be held earlier this
year than in past seasons due to
the open weather which has made
flowers and plants blossom much
earlier this year.
Various sub committees have
been working hard on plans for
the festival with the idea of max
ing it the greatest ever held here.
This year, the flower show and
the Festival are expected to be
much larger, and the plan now is
to hold the flower show at Vet
erans Memorial hall where great
er space can be obtained. It is
also the plan to have Palo Verde
ball in the evening TO culimnate
the days activities.
Much interest is being taken in
the Palo Verde Festival by the pu-
pills of the Ell Centro schools and
other schools of Imperial Valley
It seems certain that the entries OF
school children will be amongst the
most important in the show.

A substantial part of the increase

smallest increase in many years.

POWER FIRM
TAX PROBLEM
GIVEN AIRING

Because it has been repeatedly
argued that communities establish
ing municipality owned and operat-
ed power systems lose heavily in
the taxes which the privately own
ed companies pay and which the
municipal plants do not pay be-
cause they are exempt, the fol-
lowing quotation from a recent
bulletin devoted to the public own
ership of utilities may be consider
ed most interesting. The passage
in question says:
In the first nine years of the
operation OF the Cleveland NUM-
cpial plant, from 1914 to 1923, the
plant saved the customers of cleo
tricty in the city of Cleveland $20,-
$685. 500. which saving alone is more
than 20 times the amount of taxes
which it would have paid as a pri-
Vately owned plant
These savings were in the form
of lower rates for electricity and
mounting surplus fund from the
sale Of this power which latter can
be used for the benefit of Cleve-
land citizens in many years. Other
cities served by municipality own
ed power plants can show similar
records of savings through low
rates and profits gained which
more than offset the amount which
they would have paid in taxes had
they been privately operated.
When operation of the power de-
velopment and distribution system
as proposed by the Imperial 1rri-
CATION District gets under way, con-
sumers of power in this district and
county will be greatly benefited
in the form Of lower rates for pow
er service and also the building up
of a surplus fund which will be
retained within the district to be
used for the purpose of lowering
expenses on lands in the district.

N. E. GOVERNORS
MEET in BOSTON
Business Leaders to At
tend 18th Annual Re-
giOnal Conference

When the six New England COVER
nors assemble with the business
leaders OF Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts,, Rhode Is
land, and Connecticut In the Twelfth
Annual New England Conference ut
Boston. November 10 and 20, the
New England Council will have COM
pleted eleven years Of continuous
existence. Out OF the first New
England Conference at Worcester
In November, 1925, came the unique,
all.New England economic research
and development organization which
the governors and business execu-
tives of that year named the New
England Council.
II will come aS news 10 many OF
the nine hundred executives and
business leaders who attend this
years conference, that there WAS In
existence In New England three
hundred and sixteen years ago an
organization known as the "Coun-
Gil for New England" and that that
council, unlike the present one which
Is not an official governmental
agency, actually ruled the whole OF
New England from the 40th 10 the
48th degree North latitude" and
westward from the ses to the sea-"
That earlier council divided UP the
territory, provided for It's governing,
and even commissioned an admiral
OF New England" whose duty 1t was
TO RESTRAIN such ships as come To
fish and trade without license from
the Council for New England" IN
waters OH the North American
shores.
That original council was formed
for selfish profit. Among It's 40
patentees In England were thirteen
peers. From the date Of their origi-
nal petition, March Q, 1920, to their
final dissolution April 20, 1885, their
experiences reflected one OF the most
interesting phases IN the develop
ment OF New England and the
American government. The Royal
Warrant which gave them control,
chartered them TO plant, order,
rule and govern In the early
minutes Of the council stu preserved
In London. "the number OF colonists
was to be reported and the colon
lists were ito apply themselves and
their labors III large and compe-
tent manner TO thcp lanting, setting,

Gals noted the steady upswing IN
