A healthy, quarter of a
million increase in Ell Cen

reported Saturday from the
office of City Clerk Neal Cav

Gavin announced that the city's
total assessed valuation is now $l2,-

Roy Johnstone, assessor, said the
increase was normal and repDe-

structed as we'll as advances in per.
sonal property. The increase was
despite the usual dropping from the
rolls of tax delinquent property.
Only two citizens appeared be-
fore the city council Friday night
to protest assessment valuations.
The council, sitting as a board of
equalization, heard Ben Hulse ask
for a revaluation of 43 acres Of land
in the southwest section of the city.
1t is now assessed on a value of
$24 500 or about $3.50 an acre.
Hulse, who purchased the land
within the last year or two, ex-
planned that it should be classed q
acreage. 1t was in flax last year.
Originally the land was placed ON
the rolls as subdivision property but
has actually been acreage. Compar-
atively recently it was in citrus
trees. County valuation is $l35 An

The outbreak Saturday followed
close on the heels of the disastrous
fire which burned over 1000 acres
of mountain country Friday night.
Communication lines were cut off,
forcing telephone companies To
reach Ell Centro by routing calls via
Los Angeles. The breaks were re-
paired early, however, and COM
munication reeStablished.
The fire Friday night raced along
on three fronts leaving blackened
devastation over about 5000 to
$500 acres in the Campo area; ap-
proximately 1000 acres on high
way 80 between Finn Springs and

E. S. Miller, state forest ranger
in charge of the San Diego county
division, said the 5000 acre brush

pretty bad" Saturday. Two ranches
were destroyed when the fire came
within two miles of Campo. The
fire in the Finn Springs area was
said to be under control at enoon
Saturday.
Mrs. Lora Lee Williams, former
Ell Centran now living at San Diego,
her sister, and daughter, left the
Dulzura region Saturday morning
after the flames came within a
short distance of the cabin where
they were stopping. 1t was rumored,
she said, that the early morning
fire there had been started and
was not attributed to a carelessly
tossed cigarette.
Forest rangers deplored the fire,
declaring that the great destruC-
ton of brush and underground
would cause erosion and badly dam

cheerful in the outlook, however,
some of them declaring the destruc-

the spread of the flames.
