of the two vacancies. The election
resulted in a victory for Nathan

Cosand has served on the various
boards in Imperial for period Of

rural schools in the Imperial Val,
ley Union high school district have
not been reported, it was believed
that the vote in these districts
would not affect the results.
For the elementary board, the
vote was: Hudson, LAT; Denham,
1863; Murphy, 1873: Cosand, lii; S.
d. Thomas, 55. Hudson and Cosand
were the incumbents.

ton resulted in a clean sweep for
Coy j. Ritter and w. j. Jacobs for
the high school board and it was
reported that they won even more
votes in comparison in the rural
districts comprising the hlSn
school union district than Chey did
in the city of CaleXico itself.

 CAUSE ARRESTS
''SO What ?" AutOist { Fined $5; Second Operator
 Held for Trial

Police of this city have displayed during the past few weeks an apt- ness for making arrests for motor vehicle law violations, in spite of the fact that they are not on duty at the time of the alleged infrac- tion of rules.
 Further evidence of their ability at making such arrests was dis played in court today when two persons arrested in such manner were arraigned.
 Anthony Gargano, p, of 23l Goodrich street, Hamden, paid $5 and-costs for violation of the rules of the road. He was arrested by Patrolman Thomas Grady and his son, Motor Patrolman Raymond Grady, July 14, while the two po- hcemen were of duty. Officer Thomas Grady told the court this morning that Gargano was arrested at the corner of Silver street and Hamilton avenue when he pro- ceeded past the intersection in a reckless manner. When father and son stopped Gargano and informed him that they were ofaeers he re- piled, 50 what?" He pleaded guilty to the charge today.
 Patrolman John Pannone was of duty yesterday afternoon, but took time to arrest Stanley Kolkowski, 20, of 26 River street on a charge of violating the rules of the road. Of- ficer Pannone said Kolakowski al. most sideswiped his machine on Freight street, after swinging far out around a truck. Kolakowski was granted a continuance to August 3.
