The
Municipal
Elections
An Editorial

Half a dozen candidates pre-
sented themselves for the Cum
berland City Council during
January, but none so far has
indicated what attitude he will
take on the important issues
that will face the Council in
the next two years.
We are not referring now to
the issues of flood control, the
building of an overpass to re-
lieve traffic congestion, and the
building of a highway to the
new airport. No doubt the
Council will be called on to
take some action in these con-
nections, and men of wisdom
and foresight are needed to
work out an overall plan for
city development in the public
interest.
But, unit! construction materials
become available in greater guam
titles and the war emergency
abates-and that time is not as
near as some people seem to
think-the pressing problems OF
the war itself will call for first
attention.

QUOTES '35 RULING
After the meeting Halliday refer
red to a letter dated August l, 1885
from city attorney of Imperial
county. The letter said in part:
THE result of the (title) search
shows the title to the property in
question to be in the city Of Ell
Centre for public purposes subject
to the use of the county for court
house purposes" Halliday explained
that it was the city's position that
all the county had to do was have
the supervisors pass a resolution
abandoning the property for use as
court house purposes"
Halliday said at that time, 1885.
the city wanted the east 276.52 feet
of the park between Main and
Broadway and Ninth and Eleventh
streets as a site for a city hall and
other civic buildings.
The site of the court house and
the park across the street east
were decided to the county Nov. II.
