Hill, who was 49, died late Satur-
day at Pasadena of stroke. Men,
orial services will include placing
a receptacle containing his ashes
under a bronze plaque at the top
of Roosevelt dam, which he design
ed and constructed as the first en-
gineering achievement of his car
eer.
Hills connection with Imperial
Valley projects dates back many
years to the building of Laguna
dam, which he took over from con-
tractors who had failed and COM
pleted. Later, while serving as a
member of the Reclamation Bu-
reau'S advisory board, he was con-
suited frequently on Boulder dam
and All American canal problems
and was a frequent visitor to the
valley. He helped decide such queS-
tions as the site for Imperial dam,
the positions for power drops on the
canal. At Denver, Fort Collins and
Montrose, Colo, he studied models
of the dam and canal and perform
ed research work that later proved
of great value in construction.
Included in projects that Hill
worked on were Coolidge, Elephant
Butte, Fort Peck and Bonneville
dams as well as the Los Angeles
flood control project. In 1897 Hill
served as president of the Ameri-
can Society of Civil Engineers.
Hills most recent connection
with Imperial Valley was prepar-
alton of an engineering report by
his firm of Quinton, Code and Hill
on the Imperial Irrigation district.

Observers Watch Ballot
To Determine Trend
Of Public Sentiment

NEW YORK, Nov. 7. (UP)
The general election CAM
paign closes today with indi-
cations that in tomorrow's
voting the Republican party
may make its first important gains
since 1923.
Political significance of Republi-
can expansion will depend on how
many offices are shifted to the
COP and where.
The campaign ends with national
leaders on both sides charging the
other with Fascist potentialities.
Racial and religious issues have be-
come a factor in New York. So
called funny money old age pen
sion plans are real factors in many
states.
This election will take place in
n states. Maine held its general
election Sept. IL. electing a Republi-
can governor and three Republican
members of the house of represen-
tativeS; no change.
Normal political barometer for
off-year general elections is the
turnover of seats in the house OF
representatives. The average off,
year turn from the party in power
since 1870 has been II per cent of
total membership. If that figure
prevails tomorrow the Democrats
would lose so seats. Any loss sub
stantially below so probably should
be considered sub-normal and as
indicating that the New Deal-Dem-
ocratic tide still is flowing strong
and deep.
