Acceptance Dy all linpe-
rial Irrigation District bond
holders of a refunding plan
for the districts $15,00O,000
bonded Indebtedness was rec
commended Friday by members OF
the bondholders advisory commit
tee in Los Angeles at a meeting
with President Evan T. Hewes and
Attorney Harry w. Horton of the
district.
Attorneys for the bondholders and
the district were authorized to draft
a final agreement which will be
submitted to all bondholderS for
official approval.
Meanwhile a depository agree
ment was being drafted at Los
Angeles under which security hold
ers will be asked Immediately to
indicate willingness to deposit their
district holdings under the plan.
When so per cent of the bonds are
presented in deposits, a petition
to place the district under the fed
eral municipal bankruptcy act will
be filed in federal court.
At least sc 2-3 per cent of the
outstanding bonds must be repre-
sented by agreements before the
court will allow the district to
take advantage of the bankruptcy
statute, which would force nom
depositors to accept the program.
Because the plan will not be pre-
sented to the California securities
commission until attorneys have
worked out technical details and
prepared a final draft, it is pos
Slble that a petition will be filed
in federal court before securities
commission approval can be obtain
ed, and before the refunding plan
is put to a vote in the district,
HeWeS said in long distance tele-
phone conversation with a Post
Press reporter
Little trouble is anticipated.
HeweS said, in obtaining approval
by a majority of bondholders once
the plan is in final form. Its major
outline already has been approved
by the district directors in Ell Cen
tro and by the Imperial county
farm bureaus bond committee.
The bondholders' advisory COM
mlttee gave approval to the pro-
posal in the same form as was pre-
Sented here, Hewes said, and urged
other bondholders to accept it.
Details to be ironed out by at
torneys include largely legal and
technical aspects of refunding bond
issuance.

Ozone Holds Ultraviolet RAYS

Tests carried out by the British
meteorological office show that if all
the ozone in the atmosphere were
collected near the earths surface
It would form a layer only two or
three millimeters thick. Ozone is
particularly health-imparting, as it
holds the ultraviolet radiations
from the sun.
