Four men from each organization
attempted to get together SO that
a site may be available for the
erection of the proposed 100000
building, financed from motor We
hicle department funds. The meet
ing was called at the request of
the Associated Chambers of Com
merce after three supervisors re-
fused to give up the county's right
in the west one half of the park
facing the county court house on
Main street.
Supervisors suggested that the
county might look more favorably
upon the transfer of the site il
the city would agree to furnish the
county with free water at official
buildings over period of years.
City councvilmen countered with
the offer to permit the county to
use the city sewer for the county
farm and road district No. 2 for
20 years without charge. This Of
fer represented an expenditure of
approximately $4,000
. Since neither suggestion met with
the approval of the body to which
it was made, no final decision was
reached. Chairman I. Schlatter of
the board of supervisors was asked
to invite the state officials to Ell
Centro to look over available sites
and discuss any other arrange
ments. The two groups will meet
again when necessary.
Those present for the meeting
were Supervisors Schlatter, a. Y.
Preble, Dave Vencill and B. M.
Graham; Mayor Roy Womack,
Councilmen Herb Fawcett, Gordon
Scriven and Paul Eyer; and City
Engineer Philip Knights.

Ranger finished at 4:34:3O pm.
EDIT. That was the official time.
The unofficial elapsed time was
3:54:20.
Endeavour's finishing time was
4;38:57 pm. Rangers winning mar
gin was 4 minutes, 27 seconds.
Vanderbilt, his associates and
crew and his super boat were given
deafening ovation as Ranger
heeled gracefully over the line ap-
proximately one quarter of a mile
ahead of Endeavour. Whistles from
the huge foltilla of spectator craft
started to blow tribute to the
winning skipper just as he hit the
mark and the footing continued
for 10 minutes.
Ranger owed today's victory to
her brilliant outward sail. In this
beat into the face of a 15-mile
southwest wind Ranger set an un-
otficiai record of two hours, four
minutes, Is seconds. This battered
the record of 2:O8:40 credited to
Vigilant, winning yacht in the
1893 series.
1t was then believed that Ranger
might better the record for a wind
ward-leeward course. This record
is 3;24:39 set by Vigilant. The wind
fell off somewhat on the nome
ward run however, giving Ranger
an elapsed time of 3:54:2O, lacking
one second of being 80 minutes off
