Parkway Watering
Won 'tStay in Rut
For City Council

If not directly behind it, the Ell
Centre city council in general and
the park commission in particular
were at least in the shadow of the
eight-ball Monday.
Newest development in the con-
troversial parkway-watering prob
lem was pointed out by concerned
citizens who asked
"If the city goes back to watering
parkways by means of the ditch
system what about those of us
who have leveled parkways before
our homes and put in lawns?"
City councilmen were apparently
just as puzzled as the concerned
citizens over what to do about it.
Watering by the old method would
be impossible now, without tearing
up the newly laid lawns and digging
a new ditch. That would bring a
storm of protest. Watering with
out doing this would be difficult
at best.
City Engineer Phil Knights had
this to offer:
Il think the city would much
rather see citizens take care of

crew took it into port at Hauges-
hund and that she is now free to
go wherever the Americans want
to take her.
Mrs. j. Borden Hartman, U. S.
minister to Norway, who conferred
here with Capt Joseph A. Gainard
of the City of Flint, also said that
the ship is now free.
In a radio talk to the United
States Gainard made an impor-
tant disclosure which was expected
to bolster the Norwegian conten-
ton that the German prize crew
commander violated international
rules when it put the City of Flint
into HaugeSund.
He said the Flint went into
Haugesund in compliance with in
structions that were shouted by
the commander of the German
merchant ship SchWaben. The
SchWaben circled around the Flint,
he said, and as soon as they ap-
preached close enough, the Schwa-
ben megaphoned the order.

Co. Board Opposes
Special Election
For State Senator

Imperial county supervisors Mon
day passed a resolution requesting
Gov. Olson not to call special
election to select a senator to fill
the vacancy left by the resignation
of Edward II. Law
The board passed the resolution
upon recommendation of the coun-
ty grand jury.
Grand jurors made the recon-
mendation, they said in letter
to the board, because the financial
condition of the county did not
warrant expenditure of between
$4,000 and $1,000 for the election.
They said they made the same rec
ommendation to the Republican and
Democratic County Central COM
mitteeS.
They suggested that Laws suc-
cessor be elected at the presidential
primary or at the August primary
next year. Law resigned to accept
the office of assistant United
States attorney.
