Irrigation District approximately
$2860,000 to be used in construc-
tion of the public power system.
The court was to hear arguments
at pm. Thursday over a tenn
porary injunction. Phil D. Swing,
now in Washington, planned to
attend the hearing as a represen-
tative of the irrigation district.
Federal attorneys will oppose the
injunction, possibly with Swings
help.
Without issuing an injunction or
restraining order, the District of
Columbia supreme court late
Thursday ordered the Nev-Cal suit
continued until next Wednesday for
further hearing.
The injunction suit came as anti
climax to the record breaking vote
which Wednesday gave the PWA
contract a majority of 1854 to 9l2,
and piled up an unheard of ma
jority for the RE.A contract, 1862
to 943.
1t was the biggest majority ever
recorded in any district election.
NeXt-largest was that given the
All American canal contract, which
was approved five to one. Re-
duced to percentages, Wednesdays
majority was 87la per cent OF the
total vote, leaving only 1919 per
cent opposed.

Countering a new invitation by
the irrigation district to discuss
terms for sale of its properties in
Imperial Valley, the electric corpor-
alton indicated through its vice
president, r. p. Moore, that its So
called cooperative offer will be held
open for further consideration by
the district.
Before Wednesdays unexpected
ly huge majority in favor of pub
lie power, the power company de-
clared that approval of PWA and
REA contracts would be regarded
as rejection of the company's offer
Moore did not say directly that
the clause has been withdrawn,
but indicated that this is the case
when he said
