Five Systems Govern Valley
District Ranks
High in County's
Ruling Bodies

Government, the shadowy thing that collects taxes and
reads letters from dsgrunted citizens bothers Imperial
Valley residents about much it does residents OF
other areas g.. and that isn't much.
But that's all wrong. Imperial Valley residents have
Imperial Valley press., 1941-02-26

reason to bother moro than tne
others because they have one more
Political and tax collecting body
than most of the others. They have
the Imperial Irrigation district.
The Imperial Irrigation district
operates under its own special set
of laws and is, in reality, almost
a law unto itself. The laws govern
ing district affairs "a great many
of them at least, were written after
they had been tried out on the
Imperial Irrigation district. The di-
strict thus became a guinea pig
for the administration of irrigation
district affairs throughout the ma
ton.
International Angles
And that isn't the only differ
ence. Imperial Valley borders Mex
leo all along it's southern extremity
That brings q sort CT international
Slant to affairs in the valley. Most
areas don't have that slant.
Bearing IN mind the two main
differences, the irrigation district
and the international tinge, the
governmental setup is the same as
in other American communities
Federal
State
County
City
The federal government governs
from afar and collects its taxes
from afar through senators and
ccngressmen and the great national
taxing agency. Symbols of the fed
eral connection with the Valley are
the postoffice buildings in the var
iouS cities.
Next down the line is the state.
Imperial Valley has direct repre-
sentatlon in the state government
through its state senator and its
aSScmblyman. Tho state collects its
taxes and its license fees and hands
out SRA relief. The state passes
the laws in which the county has a
voice through its representatives
Now Genes the county govern
mcnt.
Tho county is governed by a
board of supervisors composed of
che supervisor from each of the
five SupcrviSrial districts.
Supervisors Elected
Supervisors are elected in the in
cividual districts. They meet in the
court house and the first of each
year elect a board chairman. The
board sets the budgets and manages
county affairs from roads to jani-

I. Schlatter Of Calexico who
early il 1871 was elected chairman
Of i',e county board o. super
visors. gJor The third year since
tc became Il member of the board
in 1896 he prcsidCS at meetings
Of Imperial county's governing
body. The gray haired ranchcr
has Al irpish sense of humor
which cnlivens board sessions but
does. not interfere with the swift
dispatch of county business.
Schlattcr came to the CaleXicO
area with his parents in 1904. He
attended CaleXicO schools and
grew up with the community. For
many years he engaged in large
ranching operations in Mexico
but recently has kept all his op-
eratiOns in Imperial Valley.

tors in the court house. They pay
the bills with county taxes collected
by the county asSessor-collector,
buv the automobiles for the many
county departments, set the salaries
of all but two county officials and
their own, pass ordinances govern
ing rural areas.
The board of supervisors at pres
ent is composed Of I. Schlatter OF
Calexico, chairman; Hugh T. Os-
borne of FL Centro, Dave Vencill OF
Holtville. A. Y. Preble of Imperial
and B. M. Graham of Brawley. Each
supervisor is expected to look after
the interests of his own district
but to put the good of the entire
county first in his considerations,
The board has charge of the county
farm and hospital and the admin
stration of county relief through a
county welfare director. They hire
all county employees but elected
ones.
The scat Of county government
is in the county court house in
downtown Ell Ccntro. Each super
viSorial district has its own district
office and road yard maintained as
district headquarters.
Seven Cities
Seven Incorporated cities in the
county have their own municipal
governments. Each has a city coun-
Gil headed by mayor. All are
elected. The city councils meet in
the city halls and manage the cities
in much the same manner as the
county supervisors manage the
county affairs. They hire all but
the elected employees of the city,
set the salaries, set the budgets,
and pay the bills with money col
lcctcd by the city tax collector.
They appoint rolicc chiefs, look af-
ter the streets, let the garbage and
trash collecting contracts, pass city
ordinances. They even maintain a
dog pound.
Imperial Irrigation district af-
fairs are managed by directors
elected in the five divisions of the
district. They have board presi-
dent
The board during the coming
year will be composed of Evan T.
Hewes of Calexico, Mark Rose of
Holtville, w. J. Gregg of El Centre,
Charles Morrow of Brawley, and
Frank Grubel of Calipatria.
A district assessor-c collector COL
lects the taxes and the board ord
ers the bills paid from that. The
board administers the vast water
and power systems owned by the
residents of the districts and main
tains the service of both utilities
This board, tco, employs all but
the elective officials and employees
The district officials, in addition to
their purely local duties, watch the
development in irrigation through
out the nation and take an active
part in federal and state agencies
interested in irrigation law.
Forgotten Boards
All of the main agencies of gov
crnment have legal and policing de-
partments to carry on the other
parts of public administration of
government.
Tucked away down on the scale
OF governmental agencies is a group
OF boards usually forgotten in a
survey of governing boards. the
school boards. Every elementary
and high school system has a board
OF trustees and each board has a
chairman. The trustees arc elected
by vote. They employ the school Of
ilcials and teaching staffs. A busy
llttle corner of life in Imperial
valley is occupied by these boards
of trustees.

road between Ash Fork and Phoe-
nix, known as U. S. 80, has i'm
proved to a degree satisfactory for
national defense purposes
1T was the opinion of the sec
retary of war" Senator Hayden
continued, that the road from
Phoenix to Clarkdale through the
Verde valley would constitute
substantially an additional high
way link largely paralleling the
existing road and, therefore, he
did not regard the Verde River
highway as of sufficient strategic
Importance to warrant recon-
mendation for its construction.
The senator pointed out further
that, The war department has no
road funds of any kind and the
federal government has never, III
lao years. built a military road.
The attitude of the war depart
ment has consistently been that
fOaUS are the pI llldIy IeSpoioADii
ity of the state highway depart
ments and that highways adequate
for ordinary commercial traffic
are adequate for any special needs
which the army may have in case
of a national emergency"
Hope of obtaining a special ap-
preparation from congress vanish
es in the light of the following
from Senator Hayden's letter:
Congress unequivocably declared
in the Federal Aid Highway Act
of 1916 that roads would hence
forth be state responsibility,
and since that date the congress
has never given even passing
consideration to proposals to ap-
propriate federal funds for the
construction of particular roads;
and | am certain that congress
never will"

roadway extending 49.4 miles from
the south boundary of the national
forest to a connection with the
Clarkdale- e-Roosevelt Dam highway
near Fossil creek would cost, for
grading, culverts, bridges and a
complete bituminous treated sur
face. $4.360,000. This estimate
did not include the cost of con-
structing a road south of the ma
tional forest boundary to Phoenix
nor. did it take into account any
improvements on the route from
the Clarkdale-Roosevelt Dam high
way near Fossil creek to a con-
nection with the Oak Greek high
way"
The suggestion of Verde River
road sponsors that the cost could
be borne by the forest service is
shattered by the following from
the senator's letter:
"Such a suggestion is wholly
impractical because the annual
forest highway allotment to Ari-
zona is completely inadequate 70
care for such extensive construc-
ton as would be involved. For
example, during the fiscal year
Just ended the total allotment for
all forest highways in Arizona was
$39O,OOO. If the forest service
highway construction in our state
for the next ten years and devote
its total annual allotment to the
construction of the Verde River
highway, it would take more than
II years to build that portion OF
the road within the forest"
The most recent suggestion that
construction of the Verde River
road is of strategic military i'm
portance and therefore should be
constructed as a war department
project, drew a statement from the
secretary of war that War de-
partment studies indicated that a

Belief Proposed Verde River Highway
Infeasible Grows as Expense Understood

Statements of Verde River high
way sponsors that the road from
Phoenix to SedOna could be built
with U. S. Forest Service funds
by the war department, or through
special appropriation from con
gress, were seen as impossible OF
fulfillment here today coincident
with release of letter from L. S.
Ser. Carl Hayden.
.oenator Hayden, coauthor of tie
Hayden-Cartwright Acts of 1884,
1886 and 1888, is regarded as per
haps the foremost authority on
road matters in the national con
gress.
Expressing no personal opinion
regarding proposals to build the
road, the senator cited insurmount-
able obstacles to the impractical
schemes of the roads sponsors to
finance its construction, the total
cost of which engineers estimate
will exceed $6,700,000.
Senator Hayden's hitherto unre-
vealed letter was sent to ex-Gov.
Bob Jones under date of Aug. IA
1910. The senator advised: There
is no conceivable possibility that
the Verde River highway can be
constructed wholly with federal
funds or that its construction can
be initiated by any agency of the
federal government"
Cost of construction across the
Tonto and Prescott national for
ests would be $4,360,000. accord

CAPITAL FUEL
SELLS MORE THAN
$4,000 CHICKS

over 10 thousand baby chicks
have been sold by the Capltai
Fuel and Feed Company to local
ranchers and residents so far this
season.
Two thousand more will arrive
today from the Pioneer Hatchery
In Phoenix, 500 of which are sold
in advance, obviating removal
from shipping boxes to waiting
brooders.
1t was chilly last Friday as the
writer witnessed the arrival OF 2
shipment of chicks and two thous-
and protests issued from corrugat
ed cardboard boxes stacked
against the wall.
AS quickly as possible the per-
forated boxes were opened, the
chicks scooped up by double hand
fulls and placed in the brooders'
where their protests became con-
tented chirps as they grew warm
and began to peck in small feed
troughs
Each box contains 400 chicks
and is partitioned into four sec
tions holding 25 each. Thls Is 10
avoid loss by preventing the
chicks from crowding together IN
a single corner and trampllng
each other, said w. R. Urton,
manager of the Capital Fuel and
Feed Company.
The bottoms of boxes are
covered with padding of ex-
celsior for cleanliness and warmth
and handlers are careful to keep
the right side up.
Among the chicks that arrived
Friday were Rhode Island Reds,
New Hampshire Reds, which are
an improved breed of the former
developed for better laying and
earlier feathering qualities, Brown
Leghorns that are marked like
young quail, Austria Whites, Black
Minorcas, and Buff Orpingtons.
No matter what breed you fancy,
you'll find them in the brooders
at the Capital Fuel and Feed
Company if, by chance the power
happens to be off at the electric
plant you won't need anyone to
direct you to where the chicks
are-voul hear their loud chirp-
ing demand for warmth!
