NO INTEREST FOR DE FELICE COMPANY
Board of Finance Turns Down Claim; Extra Funds
 for Snow Removal

Controller Neil F. Maloney has been advised by the Board of Fin ance to notify the L. G. DeFelice Construction Company, of New Ha- ven that it's claim for interest pay ments of $981 has been disalloWed The Board of Works had previously turned down the same request.
 MT Maloney had previously cited such a request as ridiculous" point Ing out the fact that nowhere in the contract was such payment called for. In addition, he had stated the city had waived the incomple- tion penalties of $100 per day to which the company was subject be- cause of it's failure to finish con- struction, on time. The company had built the city'S Pitch reservoir.
 Corporation Counsel Maurice T. Healey also notified the board that the company had signed a release of contract shortly after completing the project.
 The final payment of $65 ,452 .28 was contingent upon the receipt of a grant of $50,000 from the federal government as the last part of $500,000 grant. The money was not cleared through Washington un- til last week when the DeFelico Company received It's last install ment. Officials say a study of the contract fails to uphold the claims of the firm.
 The board likewise approved the transfer of $25,000 to the Street Department of which $5,000 is for snow removal and the remainder for the purchase of truck equip ment. Budget Director Furlong re- quested the transfer. The $20,000 is to purchase two type trucks with w. blows on them at 80 500 each or one of this type and another suitable for use as a grader in the summer. They are for purposes of replacing obso- lete trucks.

Staff Sergeant
Tells About

by Mr.. and Mrs. S. j. Russell of 5S5
Commercial, Ell Centro, from their
son, Staff Sergeant Jack Russell, g.
who was with the army engineers
somewhere along the Siegfried line
when he wrote his parents.
The letter follows:
We'll, Dad, since my brother has
gone to the Great Beyond l will
have to try and do enough for beth
of us over here so don't worry about
me. 1 will keep slugging for my
self and pinch hitting for him until
the end of this bloody mess. His
brother lost his life in this war;
Then l can come home and try to
forget as much of it as possible
IF everybody in the USA would
quit going deer hunting and quit
arguing politics and shove us some
equipment and ammunition and ma
terials over here we will finish the
job quick.
Just hcw would some of those
4-Fs like to sit in the snow and
look the Germans in their green
eyes with no shells handy and have
them rationed out when some comes
in? Well, that is what is going to
happen if somebody doesn't get to
work. If anybody thinks it is funny,
do a 30-day stretch in an icy fox
hole on the Siegfried line in Ger
many.
Tell them to come on over if it
is so funny. Most of the men here
have wrinkles in their faces. But
not from laughing. And you can
hand this letter to the Imperial
Valley Press with my signature.
Eel Centre sent me over here and
now I need something to do the job
they sent me here to do. am wait
ing. But we can't hold our positions
if the people on the so-called home
frcnt don't do something. read a
letter tonight that one Of the boys
received and, believe it or not, it
told about 200 men that took off and
went deer hunting when the season
opened.
II don't believe the Valley Press
will print this. 1t might hurt some
bcdys feelings. Well, what about
ten million of uc boys?
II don't mean I resent Ell Centro
In fact, I am proud Of the town and
