A special meeting of the El Centro City Trustees was held on Thursday night to consider phins for installing a new motive power at the city water works pumping plant. The continuous strain to which the gasoline engine has been submitted has shown that this arrangement is not a satisfactory one, and it is expected that electricity will be installed and that it will prove more reliable and more economical in the long run.

"There is no use berating El Centro for taking this interest in her own -iffairs. It is the hurtling spirit and is to be commended in any town. It H a spirit that is needed in Calexico to a greater extent than exists.
