District Moves
Transformers

Imperial Irrigation District work
crews, operating under the super
vision of Master Mechanic L. V.
Hess, recorded an outstanding
achievement recently when they
moved successfully four huge elec-
trio transformers from the Colo
RADIO river substation at the inspec-
ton station, Yuma, to the Districts
hydro-electric plant at drop No. q
on the All-American canal, where
all of the units were installed in
tact. The multiple equipment was
transported in District trucks for
the entire distance of 38 miles.
A large share Of the credit for
safe delivery of the transformers is
due Luther Green, ace truck driver
| for the District 1t was his Skillful
driving of the conveying axle
trailer through stretches Of treach-
erous sand that made possible con-
summation of the moving job.
TINE REQUIRED
1t required an average of two
days each to move the four units to
their point of installation. Each
unit weighed approximately $1,000
pounds, was 18 feet high, II feet
long and feet wide.
The careful planning which re-
suited in the successful execution
of the moving operations was in
strumental in saving the District
considerable expense, as otherwise
it would have been necessary to
have hired special truck 0nd
trailer to come from Los Angeles
to haul the transformers to their
destination.
The four transformers installed
at the hydro-electr plant will pro-
vide a tie-in between Parker DAM
Imperial Irrigation District power
with the major part of the former
California Electric system in I'M
perial Valley which the District ac-
quired by purchase on October IS,
1943
MEANS SAVING
The interconnection is expected
to result in material savings to the
District since Parker Dam power
costs 2H mills per kiloWatt hour,
whereas power purchased from the
California Electric Power Company
which heretofore has been delivered
through the Coachella and Rincon
power lines, ocsts 7la mills per
kilowatt hour 1t is estimated by
E. H. Aiken, chief electrical en-
gineer, that the tie-in will be COM
pleted by February 18th.

Change, Plea
OF Connsto(k

Once a political ally of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and former Demo-
cratic governor of Michigan,
Councilman William A. Comstock
today insisted that the voters
should put the welfare Of the
nation above politics and clean
house In Washington"
Campaigning against the man
he helped nominate in 1882, the
former governor charged that the
New Deal has deserted the prin-
ciples OF the Democratic party.
STRIFE UNDER WILSON
Comstock told of the strife
inside the Democratic party dur
ing the Wilson administration and
then described the landslide In
1882 when Roosevelt was elected
for the first time and Comstock
became governor of Michigan,
again we forgot our funda-
mentals and our principles" he
said. There was a mad rush
for power and reward. Patron
age distribution became more
important TO most of us than
the service we promised the
people.
"Mr. Roosevelt discarde
these fundamentals and princi-
Piles and plunged into the vaga-
ries Of the New Deal. Those OF
us who could foresee the result
of these policies and dared
raise a protesting voice were
relegated To the political dis
card.
The New Deal party has one
leader - Roosevelt. His every
decision on party policy has
been dictated not by principle
but by opportunism.
HE has, at times. appealed
to racial. religious and class
prejudices.
