rainfall in the valley which dam
aged lettuce and tomato paintings,
caused inconvenience and added
feeding expense to cattle and dairy
owners, closed all valley schools, and
inflicted minor property damage.
Imperial Irrigation District and
Nev-Cal power companies survived
the storm without interruption and
the districts water system was able
to absorb rain overflow without
damage to canals. Telephone lines
also emerged from the storm un-
Scathed.
Trains and buses to the valley ar
rived on schedule and reported road
conditions between the county and
coast points passable. All main ar
teries in the valley were passable
though mud deposits in some sec
ton slowed travel.
The county road south from Ell
Centro on Eighth street was block

a tree fell across the road near the
county hospital. Curt OSWalt, road
district foreman, blamed roots loos-
ened by steady rainfall.
All valley schools were closed un-

to travel country roads. Night school
classes in Ell Centre were also closed
until Thursday, according to Guy
Weakley, superintendent.
Lettuce paintings were hard hit

tural commissioner, particularly the
early paintings. There is no way to
determine the exact damage until
a thorough check has been made,
Harrigan said.
Tomato paintings were damaged,
