also for great many years have paid tremendous sums
in the aggregate to the predecessors of the
Orna Electric Corporation and anxious that in the
future I can have stabilized rate and feel secure.
During the past few years, it has been my privilege
to have contacted great many people looking for in
vestmens but these contacts over considerable period
of time show that in the minds of many the credit of I'M
peria Valley has been at very low ebb and that this
credit condition is due primarily to the conflicting inter-
ests and bankruptcy in connection with the Imperial
Irrigation District.
l have made it my business to make considerable in
qury during the past ten days to two weeks and be-
ieve that the fundamental principal involved in the
posa submitted to the Irrigation District by the Nev-Ca
will do more to stabilize and reestabsh financial condi
tions in Imperial Valley than anything that has happened
in many years.

There should be raise in the rates of electric to the
