The cars occupant, Leonard

deck as it began swinging and
crawled on his hands and knees to
safety.
The bridge, just under mile
long, began whipping and buckling
in a storm that swept the Pacific

Coatsworth said the bridge began
to swing when he was about half
way across.

Engineers repeatedly had tried
to take the sway out of the long
structure, which was dedicated

concrete blocks at each side of the
narrows snapped as they were being
put in place the first time.

New RemOdeling Plan
Submitted to Council
By Building Owners

Ell Centro's city council
Thursday again sought more
comfortable quarters after
hearing an offer from Will
liam Jones of the Valley
Lumber Co. at a council meeting

the city hall building, offered to
permit expansion of city offices into
the rooms formerly occupied by
the California Employment service

and sign three year lease.
Z Jones offer was in answer to
proposition suggested several weeks
ago by the city that included ex-
pansion of city offices into the
corner offices. now occupied by the
I. v. Building and Loan.
Jones suggested moving the city
rest room to the old employment
office and use of the space thus
gained for the engineering offices.
The council instructed Director
OF. Public Works Waller Heinecke
to again propose the plan prcvid-
ing expansion into the corner prop
erty and indicated they would be
agreeable to the rental raise II
Jones would agree to pay the COM
plete cost of remodeling.
Bids were opened Wednesday
night on moving the small water
tank from the water plant to a
new site on the Eastside. This Is
part of general program for rails
ing water pressures in that locality
as well as generally over the city.
Low bid was $6184 from a Riverside
firm. The council authorized the
engineering department to go into
the open market to obtain the
work.

To Establish Control
Over Lawmakers

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov.
7. (UP) Control of the
state legislature remained in
the hands of newly-elected
members generally opposed
to the legislative program of Gov.
Culbert Olson, it was evident to-
day on the basis of nearly complete
returns from Tuesdays election.
Republicans gained one member
in the state, with majority of %
to II. The count was % to 18 at
the beginning of the 1899 session
but four Democrats resigned and
half-dozen others were aligned
against the governor.
Absentee ballots may decide sew
eral assembly races but it appeared
there would be 80 Republicans, "a
Democrats considered friendly to
the governor, and another seven
economy bloc" Democrats who
broke with the governor and helped
defeat his legislative program.
One of the final senatorial con-
tests to be decided resulted in de-
feat for Republican Roy Nielsen,
veteran legislator from Sacramento,
by John Harold Swan, Democratic
junior college instructor and Olson
follower.
In the 23rd district, Ray Judah,
Santa Cruz publisher, was slightly
behind Roy M. Sayre, Democrat,
with the absentee ballots holding
the final decision.

cavalrymen will be encamped at
Lake Morena after the full regiment
arrives. This would leave about 425
men at the Imperial Valley camp.
The regiments strength is now
$50 men, but the captain said this
would probably be increased to
about 1900 through addition OF
draftees. 1t will probably be spring
before the increase is made.
Meanwhile, crew of 40 work.

ters corps, and Capt. A. w. Bruce
constructing the camp.
"You might call this a semi
permanent camp" the major said.
1T will be built for use over con-
siderable time
He estimated that in materials
and labor the camp in Imperial
Valley and one at Morena lake
would cost in the neighborhood Of
$4,000, with the bulk going into
the valley site.
Besides regimental headquarters
and office buildings, Major Har-
ford planned construction of eight
20 by 80 foot mess halls; an mfr
mary; two 80 by IL bathhouses;
nearly 1000 feet of covered picket
lines; covered sheds for the trans
port equipment.
Thursday the site was a stubble
field dotted with a score of square
army tents that house the troop
temporarily. Eventually, floors will
be built for tents to house the ma
jor part of the regiment. Telephone
lines have been erected and I'M

run in Major Hartford said a COM
plete water plant system will be
installed with settling basins, pumps
and pressure tanks that will give a
reserve Of about 10000 gallons.
All laborers hired will be retain
ed through the State Employment
service, the major emphasized.
There is no use coming to me
for work :. hire only through the
employment service" he said.
