the city where they are needed most
but with the idea in mind OF
eventually tieing them all together,
Mayor Fawcett said. He predicted
that it would take in the neighbor-
hood of five years to have all CITY
streets hard surfaced.
Mayor Fawcett indicated that the
board intended to use general funds
for street improvement, although
the policy would not in any way
conflict with any property owners
who, anxious for immediate paw
ing, would wish to form an assess
ment district.
The board, however, intends to
require property owners to pay for
sidewalks and curbings," Mayor
Fawcett said. IF possible we would
prefer property owners to either
pay cash for this or make arrange
ments for other financing, rather
than go through the complications
of assessment. The charges run
about S75 for a so foot lot"
Regarding hard surfacing, Mayor
Fawcett emphasized that key
streets, such as State and Broadway
would be given attention before
streets which are subject to less
traffic.
Discussion of a storm drain sys-
tenn was revived when Mayor Faw-
cett revealed that a modified plan
is under consideration by city Of
ficials.
Il say modified because it Is
not as extensive as previous plan,
which would prove of considerable
cost. The plan now under con-
sideration is being drawn up by
the city engineer and would pro-
vide partial relief The cost Is es-
timated, unofficially, at around
$4,000. However, the entire pro-
posal is a matter for the more dis
tant future and merely part OF
the councils long-range improve
ment.

control of the nations second larg-
est city attracted Chicagoans today
in mayoralty primary expected to
set record of more than a million

on the heels of a similar action at

ers said, and was aimed to get a
strangle hold on transportation OF
farm products unless union dc
tates are followed.
Teamsters union representatives
were quoted as ordering operators

"YOu boys are free to join any

you are being clubbed to prevent

Hugh r. Osborne, secretary-man-
ager of the same organization, point
ed out that the farmers of the val
ley are the ones TO determine where
their hay shall be weighed and they
are determined to keep the high
ways open for transportation of
their products.
THANK God for the farmers a
dusky hay handler bawled.
Men are falling out of your un-
ion as fast as you are croWding
them in," declared Dick Watson,

TO force men into membership"
Ike Schlatter, county supervisor

certain terms that the farmers OF
Imperial county will have theil
hay weighed at places they select
and will not submit to union domi-
nation.
Charles Copperman, field repre-
sentative of the teamsters is quoted
as saying there had been no threats
to boycott the station if the opera
tors did not play with the union.
Threatened Operator
"What do you mean, no threats
one of the station operators barked
you just finished telling me that
if we didn't play with the union, we
couldn't weigh any more hay here.
Get off this lot" the station
