TEENY LAFFERTY is
GIVEN DOCTORS o. K.

Davidson, June 12.-Baseoall fans
and golfers will promptly boot at this
football news here in these rare DAYS
of mid-June. But Davidson cannot
conceal its joy any longer. The truth
is out.
Teeny Lafferty, or Twinkletoes as
the more poetic Of the sports writers
called him when he rampaged on the
gridiron last fall, will play ball next
fall. He is not injured and will prob
ably be at the peak of his great play
ing career as a Dazzler backfield ace.
During a football game in late
April, the 19year-old Concord boy pull
ed an abdominal muscle and had to
be taken from the field. For a while
it was thought he had a serious in
jury that would keep him from play
ing football any more. He quit base
ball and hardly lifted his arm until
school was out.

City BeautificatiOn?-
Businessmen Back
From Tour Over
Proposed Highway

FL Centre, Calexico, and Mexi-
cali businessmen returned from a
tour over the proposed road to San
Felipe late Wednesday convinced
that the road may be built soon.
Since the Baja California gov
ernment set aside $l75,000 for road
building in the northern district
and plan to add $4,000 to the
fund every month, there is pos
sibility that it may be built as a
connecting link between Mexicaii
and San Felipe. said Robert Hays,
Ell Centre Chamber of Commerce
manager who represented the or
ganization on the two-day trip
Mexican government engineers
favor completion of a road across
the mountain range connecting
Ensenada with San Felipe. At the
present rate of construction and
with the use of funds available
they would require between three
and four years. 1t is estimated
that the road from MeXicali to
San Felipe could be built In about
six months at cost of approx
mately $500 per mile. The Mexi-
cali-San Felipe road would be a
link in the circle route now under
contemplation which would con-
meet Tijuana, Ensenada, San Fell
pc and Mexicali.

ED DICKERSON
REAPPOINTED
POLICE CHIEF

WESTMORLAND, Nov. l8.-Ed
Dickerson, ousted as chief of DO
lice in the political shakeups here
last spring, was reappointed to
the post at special council meet
ing Wednesday night.
The veteran police officer has
served the city many years as chief
OF police and is familiar with every
problem of providing police protec-
ton TO the city, councilmen said.
The position of police chief has
been declared vacant and filled
four times since last spring. At
the time the city council began a
vice cleanup of the city at the
command of the county grand jury,
Dickerson was discharged. John
Reynolds was imported from the
north to take his place. He resign
ed after serving several months
and Ralph Pinon was appointed
chief. Several weeks ago Pinon was
given a leave of absence. Appar-
emily he is not expected to return
because the city council called a
special session late Wednesday and
declared the position of chief OF
police vacant due to the absence OF
Pinon. They then appointed Dick
erSon.
This appointment is the first
outstanding act of the city council
since the appointment of two new
members to fill vacancies left by
MavOr r. J. Schroeder and John
Hansen when they resigned.

APPEAL DENIED
FOR TIM E ON
RAIL CROSSING
Ell Centre Told to File
New Application to
Commission

Ell Centro's application
for an extension of time in
which to construct the State
street railroad crossing was
d en- lie d by the California
Railroad commission this week,
Ross T. Hickcox, attorney for the
Southern Pacific Railroad company,
was notified Thursday.
If the city desires to construct a
crossing over the Southern Pacific
tracks on State street, it should
file an entirely new application with
the commission, according to the
ruling
The city will continue with the
project and probably will file new
application when the work is ready
to proceed, City Engineer Philip
w. knights indicated. The new
application, however, will not be
filed Immediately. -
Principal reason for the commits
sion's ruling, according to the order
received here, is that conditions
surrounding plans for the crossing
have changed materially since Nov
q, 1880, when the railroad commits
sion first granted the city's State
street crossing application. Since
then the permit has been extended
six times. The final extension will
expire this Nov. 81.
The order denying the city's ap-
plication was signed by Commits
sioners Wallace L. Ware, Leon o
Whitesell, Frank R. Devlin. Ray C
Wakefield, and Ray l.. Riley

of sales tax on manufactured
goods or a broadening of the in
come tax base. At the same time
he emphasized he did not agree that
such measures would be necessary
