units each, and each would develop
a total of 10.500 kiloWattS with a
head of 26 feet and maximum
flow of 4700 second feet Plant No.
would contain two units with a
total capacity of $500 kilowatts, un-

the Pilot Knob Plant is 81 miles,
Plant No. l is 36 miles. Plant No.
2 is Al miles. Plant No. is Al
miles, Plant No. is So miles and
Plant No. is 63 miles.
No Interruptions
Under present plans, the plants
would be arranged with ample room
to dismantle one machine in case
of repairs, without interfering with
the operation of others. High ten
sion switches and transformers
would be placed close to the power
houses on the outside. Vertical
shaft propeller type of water wheels
would be used throughout. Spill
ways and by-passes will be arrang
ed so that. in case any plants shut
down there will be no interruption
in the flow of the canal.
One full crew of operators will
be maintained at Pilot Knob. from
where all other plants will be con-
trolled. In event of trouble from
any cause either inside or outside
the plants they will shut down auto
matically. Only one resident at
tendant will be required to sec
that everything is kept fabricated
and clean.
A steel tower transmission line
is to be built from Pilot Knob
through Plants to 3, through the
central distributing plant in Braw
ley and from there to Coachella,
for a total distance of about 125
miles. A $4,000 volt line will go
from Brawley to Plant No. via
Holtville and back to Brawley by
way of Calexico, Hebcr, Ell Centro
and Imperial, with branch north
through Calipatriat to inland.
Branches will be run to Dixieland
and Westmorland. This lop sys-
tenn will step down to 1000 volts
at convenient points and be able
to serve practically all Imperial
Valley towns. Rural sections will
be served at 1000 volts, as will
Coachella with small sub station
at Indio stepping down to 1000 volts.
Andrade and the section in Arizona
around Yuma will be served from
the Pilot Knob plant.
Total annual cost of operation had
been estimated at $l,2l2,083.

The first step toward actual in

accomplished, with the completion
of the BraWley standby plant cap

The plant will be expanded when
the All American canal system is
completed TO a capacity of 10000
horsepower. or 5000 kilCWatts. 1t

Cost of the expansion will he about

Along the All American canal it
self are five drops at which power
plants. eventually, may be installed
at a total cost of approximately
$6,620,000. These plants would
have a total capacity of about 80-
600 horsepower. ~ 10000 kilowatts
In addition, transmission lines to

would make possible 25 per cent
reduction in electricity rates. pay for

May Exempt Many
From New Tax Law
Persons On Governmental Pay
rolls Probably Will Escape
Insurance Payments

OLYMPIA, January 20 - State
county and ciUy employees, schoo.
teachers and other governmental.
payrolls probably will be exempt
from the state unemployment in
surance tax.
Although the question will not be
settled definitely until the state job
insurance commission drafts regu-
lations specifically eXempting them
opinion here was that they would
not have to donate one per cent OF
their salaries each week into the
national pot.
Attorney General G.. w. Hamilton
has advised county authorities that
their employees are not subject to
the tax. It was pointed out the tax
law defines an employer as a do
nestle or foreign corporation.
The state, counties, cities, port
districts, schools and the like are
neither domestic nor foreign cor
porations and apparently do not
come under the law.
The federal law eXempts such
governmental employees, but the
federal law, for some reason, does
not levy tax on them anyway, 1t
being collected only from the en-
ployer.
State Not Employer"
Since the state or county could
not be classed as an employer
under the state acts definition, it
probably will be held they do not
have TO pay two per cent on their
payrolls and subtract their en-
plOyes' shares.
State officials today were stand
ing pat, awaiting formal ruling
to the effect the tax was not ap-
plicable to them None of the de-
partments was collecting the tax
from its employees paychecks.
Should public employees be forced
to pay the tax and the government
put up it's two per cent share, 1T
would unsettle budgets. The legis-
lature would have to provide de-
partments with an additional two
per cent on top their salary budgets
before any money could be paid to
match employees taxes.

According to county officials,
Vaughn saw his employer receive
the money Saturday for a car sale,
