CONSTITUTIONAL.
The decision was given in the cast
of the Nevada California Electric
Securities Company versus the I'M
perial Irrigation District.
The Nevada California Corpora
ton, a landowner in the district,
brought suit on behalf of lanuown-
ers of the district to recover $4,000
spent already and to enjoin the
spending of further funds of the
district, or levying of special as
sessment. They sought also to en-
join the construction of an electric
distributing system and selling OF
power by the district.
Under the original plan the dis
trict proposed to spend $12,00O,OOO
on these projects and the plaintiffs
sought an injunction, which was de-
MED by the district court.
The corporation, in carrying the
case to the circuit court, contend
ed no notice of the project was Civ
en- landowners and that they were
deprived of their property without
due process of law.
The circuit court decision affirm
ing the district court, read in part:
I'VE may we'll assume the court
below had judicial knowledge of the
fact of appellate's lands being bene-
fitted indirectly through the in
creased market value of his lands.
"In the absence of a plain abuse
of discretion, when confronted by
contrary implied finding of the leg
islature, that the sale and distribu-
tion of power are in the interests
of the irrigation district, this court
will not disturb such implied find
ings by declaring the statute un-
constitutional"

engineer, explained Thursday.
The George Pollock company was
awarded the contract for install
ing earth Innings along 17,70O feet
The company bid was S12l,92
Fertig said the work consisted
of laying heavy earth Innings in
side of porous material on portions
of the canal previously excavated
by the draglines. The sandy ma
ture of the soil necessitated re-
Enforcement. Work will begin IN

ROTARY CLUB
HOLDS REGULAR
LUNCHEON MEET

Announcements of committees
for the coming year, and talks on
community recreation and remin-
iscenceS of Imperial Valleys early
days were the highlightS in a var
led program at the Rotary club
Thursday luncheon.
w. H. Orion, chief of the divi-
sion of public health of the state
department of education made a
short talk on the relation of recre-
alton in all forms of education.
On the program arranged by
Russell Sherwood, Frank BoWleS of
the local radio station was the
chief speaker. Bowles touched on
the future of television. He de-
clared that his personal opinion
is that television will never be-
come universal by transmission
through the air, but that 1t will
someday be utilized over telephone
wires.
He advocated community effort
toward continued growth and de-
clared that any effort to improve
the road from Imperial Valley to
San Diego was meritorious, in
view of the close friendship be-
tween the counties.
President M. j. DoWd announced
that there would be no meeting
next Thursday noon, but at 7 o.
clock next Thursday night, Rotar-
ians and wives will meet in the
annual homecoming party at the

the attackers.
Inferior in arms, trained men
and air forces, the leftists exc
cuted a coup by opening the flood
gates at the headWaters of the
Albeche river, inundating a large
area and cutting Oft the rebels to
the west.
The leftists followed up their
advantage by strong attack from
three directions. Madrid sources
asserted the rebels were demoral-
lied and had suffered heavily.
The flood apparently accounted
for the sudden cessation of the
rebel attack on the Toledo-Maque-
da front, which puzzled the out
side world for the "a hours during
which the censor prevented news
of the flood from going out.
Information was still too meager
to Judge the full effects of the
coup, but unless government an
nouncements are exaggerated, the
rebels appear to have been check
mated effectively for the time be-
ing in the western sector.
1t is generally believed loyalists
are anticipating a renewed air
plane attack. One yesterday at Tor
rios sent resting rebels scurrying.
Loyalists assumed the offensive
in the Tardienta -Alamudevar area
and now are dominating the main
Huesca -Zaragoza road. LoyaliSts
airplanes supported the attack.
Meanwhile rebel authorities at
San Sebastian asserted that au-
thoritieS at Bilbao, on the Bay OF
Biscay coast. had wirelesSed an
offer to surrender-15 hours before
expiration at l a. m. tomorrow OF
a rebel ultimatum to attack uu-
