Story Of progress,

As the city continued to grow
through 1907 and 1903, plans for
The Incorporation Of FL Centre be-
gan To function. In February pi
that year The board Of supervisors
granted the petition of FL Ccniro
to vote and approved an election in
April
On April 10 residents voted, ap-
proving the Incorporation.
The history of FL Centre since
its incorporation is one OF progress
despite many handicaps that faced
early city organizations.
While there was not a reCurrancc
Of the flood troubles of 1905, IN
which nearly every able bodied man
in the south end of the valley was
rushed off to fight the Colorado
river and disaster, there was a
severe wind storm in the early part
of 1911 which ruined buildings, tore
roofs off houses and terrorized
the residents of the city or more
than an hour
But the residents Of the county
seat were not discouraged. They
continued work, rebuilt the wrecked
buildings and resumed their prog
resSiVe ways.

Primitive sewer
system abandoned

In the course of time there came
the period of street paving, during
which all business streets and main
avenues to the boundaries OF the
city were made among the best
in the state.
The primitive sewer system OF the
earliest days gave way, 1916, to an
outfall sewer built in cooperation
with Imperial which extends thru
the latter town and thence to the
northwest. where it emptieS into
New River.
After work was completed on the
sewer the city built a liberation
plant to improve the condition OF
city water.
During the World War the acti.
witty of the city was restricted, for
the most part, to drives for raising
revenue and supplies for soldiers
in the United States and abroad.
In 1919 the city voted $l95 900 for
the enlargement of water facilities
and $4,000 for a fire alarm system,
Thus was Big Bertha" born.

capital of the new county the town
sprung up like grass after a ram
Before one year had passed FL Cen
tro boasted a large part of the
county's $4,000 population. The
present Elks building was the
county court house.
Power was furnished from the
Holton Power plant near Holtville
where Holt had previously forescen
the possibility of the generation OF
power in a 40 foot drop in a canal
near Holtville. The plant, which
furnished power to all parts OF the
valley was later sold to the South
