review plan in some detail. He be-
lieves the proposed state budget
bureau should have power TO review
budgets of all cities and counties,
and to advise the local authorities
cf economies and improvements it
believes could be mace.
If a local government disregards
the bureau Suggestions, Pierce pro-
poses the bureau then would make
its objections public. If the local
government still gees ahead with
its original plans, the bureau could
order that an election be called at
which the people of the city or
county could choose between a
budget prepared by the bureau and
one prepared by the local govern
ing board.
Pierce pointed out that the pres
ent pressure by local governments
for state funds is the latest form
of a 30-year-old search for means
Of keeping property tax rates down
In 1911 the state ceased levying
tax of its own on property and
started a gross receipts tax on pub
Ii utilities, whose property was
removed from county tax rolls.
In 1888, the counties were allowed
again to tax public utility property
The state repealed its gross receipts
tax and started the present retail
sales tax.

District Lays
Postwar Plans

tCOntlnued from Page Oneb
the Imperial Irrigation District.
1t is proposed tc telect an area
of the East Mesa to include some
10000 acres and construct lateral
system to take water from the ALL
American canal to each 160 acres.
These lands will then be available
for war veterans, and it is proposed
to provide financing for the devel-
opnent of the lands through the
veterans administration OF the state.
Since the lands are part of the dis
trict, 1t will operate and maintain
the lateral system as a part of its
general operations.
1t is believed this project offers
che of the most advantageous means
OF assisting returning veterans in
establishing themselves.
The estimated cost of the project
is 81 100000.
ON ALAMO RIVER
This project has two-fold pur-
pose: (a) providing a better water
supply for some 10000 acres Of land
lying to the west CT Calipatria, and
Cb) providing better drainage facili-
ties for lands tributary to the Alamo
river in the central part of the dis
trict.
For many years, the area of the
district lying between the New and
Alamo rivers, to the west of Cali
patria, has received its water sup
ply through the Vail canal, which
diverts from the Alamo river at
what is known as Alamo dam, To-
Gated two or three miles 10 the
south of Calipatria. BY reason of
the fact that the Alamo river carries
drainage waters from large area
CT the district, the quality of the
water is not as high as that in the
irrigation system itself.
To improve the water supply for
this area it is proposed to construct
canal from the districts east high
line canal westerly to the Vail canal
Which will provide water supply
comparable to that received by
other areas of the district. The new
canal will be II miles in length and
concrete-lined. The estimated cost
is 100000.
ELIMINATE DAM
BY removing the necessity of di-
Vertlng to the Vail canal from the
Alamo river, it will be possible tC
eliminate the Alamo dam, which will
drop the water surface in the river
above that point 20 feet This will
permit the lowering of the Alamo
river upstream for many miles and
provide better outlet for the drain
age Of adjoining lands. At the pres
ent time, due to the height of the
Alamo river, a large area CT such
lands does not have proper drain
age.
Before taking out the north enc
dam and the lowering of the Alamo
river, it is necessary that consider
able work be done on the channel
above the dam, correcting align
ment. During the course of time the
Alamo river has meandered and
caused damage to adjoining lands
The project as proposed does not
include the cost of lowering the
Alamo river above Alamo dam, but
only the work of realigning it. The
estimated cost is $4,000.
This makes the total cost of the
two parts of the project s375,OOO.

JUDGE TO REVIEW
 TRIAL EVIDENCE
Question of Basic Charge of Cruelty to Be Re-
 considered

Reconsideration of the issues which led to granting of a divorce Feb 25 to Mildred Kenney Paradis of Waterbury from Raphael Para dis, also of this city, will be made, it was indicated by Superior Court Judge Frank P. McEvoy today dur ing a hearing on an ailmony order.
 When the decree was granted the jurist made an order for payment of $l5 weekly as alimony, and the defendant appeared today to ask modification of the order on the ground that his former wife did not request alirnony.
 Testimony by both parties today disclosed they had been living apart for sometime. during their mar riage, and caused the judge to com- ment about the opportunities avail able for intolerable cruelty. He stated, I'm very curious about this matter. There seems to be a con- flict on the opportunities for cruel ty." He said he wished to study tie allegations made by the plain tiff in the divorce action regarding her charges of cruelty.
 Attorney John D. Thoms, counsel for the defendant. was asked to file a brief on the issues by next Wed- nesday, while Attorney Edward Sweeney, who represents the wo. man, will file his brief by next Fri- day.
 The ouple married May 2. 1886, and the wife's complaint stated the cruelty started eight days later.
