CONFIDENCE
VOTE NEEDED,
SAYS HEWES
Power Issue Up to
Public, Director
Maintains


Real reason behind the
Imperial Irrigation District
board of directors decision
to call sweeping election
Feb. 8 is the desire of ma
jority members for an expression
of the peoples attitude toward the
districts municipal power develop
ment program, President Evan T.
Hewes revealed Saturday.
Through a vote of confidence"
Hewes said, the majority members
of the board hope to obtain
powerful weapon against propagan-
ola Issued by the Nevada-C California
Electric corporation, which con-
tends that the power program is
the boards program, and not
that of the people.
Director Ira Aten, one of the di-
rectors affected by the special
election called Saturday morning
by the district board, agreed with
Hewes in a statement which went
on to declare that it was "the
sporting thing for the broad to
place all offices on the special
election ballot.
In view of power company as
sertions that the Brawley diesel
plant is the boards plant" Hewes
said, land also that the district
has been carrying out its general
power program contrary TO the
wishes of the taxpayer, it seems
the opportune time to give the
people of the district a chance too
express themselves on the general
policy of the district, as well as
to clarity the status of the asses
sor-collector's and treasurer's Of
fices"
The district president pointed out
that the special election, if held at
this time, will cost very little more
than would the general election,
which the law requires.
Aten was in direct accord with
Hewes' declaration.
I'm view of the large petition
filed with the secretary of the
board" he said, requesting spe-
cial election al the same time as
the general election, I think that
the sporting thing for the board
to do is to call the election on all
of the officers involved in the
people after the election of two
years ago was thrown out by the
court because the law was declar-
ed unconstitutional, that they
should not petition a special cleo
ton at that time and involve the
election two years ago. l told many
district in unnecessary expense,
and then bring everybody up.
Nov that The supreme court
but should wait until this election
has ruled that the holdover offic-
ers do not come up in the regular
election, think the thing for the
board to do is to give the peo-
pie chance to express themselves
IN the special election. particular
ly as practically no additional ex-
pense is involded.
This special election will give
the. voters an opportunity to ex-
press their opinion OF the power
program as being carried out by
the present board. and chance
to refute the charges made by the
power company that the people
are not in sympathy with the de-
yelopment OF their own power sys-
tenn"
