NOTES COMPLIMENTARY Replies from chambers of com merce of the United States' leading cities are the following: Baton Rouge, "May we compliment you on your attractive folders and assure you they will be displayed to the best advantage."

He contended he was convicted on perjury. The second petition for habeas corpus alleged that developments in the state courts had demonstrated there is no adequate corrective process available there to obtain a proper hearing. The California supreme court was declared to be "a prejudiced court" which "precludes the possibility of any fair and impartial hearing." The California court "has acted with such gross impropriety as to compel beyond a reasonable doubt the conclusion," the petition stated, that it "is not concerned with according a fair and unprejudiced hearing."

SURVEY BRINGS City of Colton revenues are to be increased by approximately $300 as the result of the research of Street Supt. G. E. Keller, who has checked on the number of times Colton streets have been "cut" for the past three years, and has billed the Southern California Gas Co.

for the amount. Check had not been received yesterday, but Mr. Keller said the amount undoubtedly would be paid, following an investigation by the company. Hereafter, monthly statements are to be rendered to the company, at its request. Each time the pavement is cut by the company, a request for the work is made upon the street su perintendent.

Using these requests as a basis for his survey, Mr. Kel ler went to all of the places in dlcated to see that the work was done, and also measuring the amount of pavement which had been cut and replaced. For cutting dirt streets, the com pany is not charged, if the roadway is returned to its original state, but pavement cuts are paid for on the basis of the number qf square feet involved. The utility concern fills the hole, but the re-paving is done by the city, according to the street superintendent. West End Ships 39 Cars of Fruit (Special Staff Correspondence) ONTARIO, Oct.

ASSESSMENT AID OR SUBWAY NOW QUESTION Colton Council Puts Issue Up To Chamber and Trustees Of School to Decide To the Colton chamber of commerce and school board last night was referred the decision of whether approximately $10,000 would be used to build a pedestrian underpass at the Garfield school or be applied to cut down the $78,000 I-street right-of-way assessment. Action on the question was held open by the Colton city council, to which a resolution had been addressed by the chamber of commerce asking that a portion of the city's share of gasoline tax funds be applied upon the assessment.

"This board undoubtedly does not want to be arbitrary in the matter," announced Mayor E. F. Harford, "yet it would seem that the decision must rest with the chamber of commerce and school authorities. There is not enough money to go around, and that which is to be used either must be expended to build the underpass, for use of more than 500 school children, or be applied on the assessment. PORTION APPROPRIATED "It must be understood that $4,700 has been set up by the state, out of $9,000 or $10,000 which the city will receive during the biennium, for maintenance on state highways.

"Engineer Campbell, in whose department this matter lies, when contacted recently at Sacramento, was authority for this explanation, and, it can be added, the state has agreed to apply the necessary amount out of the gasoline tax surplus for building the school pedestrian subway. This request was in line with school board and chamber of commerce request. "But if it is the assessment reduction through means of this tax, which is desired, then the city must go again before the state highway authorities and then them we did no know what we wanted." Immediate decision was declared necessary, in view of the fact that the assessments have been rcord-ed, and are now payable. Councilman Henry W. Roller was made the city council's representative to contact a committee of the civic board to outline the problem.

It was suggested that the assessments would have to be drawn again, if a new plan of financing were adopted, and at an expense which would somewhat reduce the effectiveness of the application of gasoline tax money. Meantime, said City Attorney Waldo Willhoft, interest was ac cumulating at the rate of approximately $15 a day on the assess ment district's indebtedness. WILL WIDEN CORNER The subway proposed in South Colton is being considered since the new state highway route takes off a corner of the schools grounds. as it extends in a southwesterly direction in crossing Seventh street. Deed was accepted from the California Portland Cement Co.

for a portion of land at the corner of Third and Georgia street, and the street is to be curved at this place. The cement company is furnish ing materials lor the work, the curve eliminating a sharp jog in Third street, used by traffic to and from the cement plant. Notification has been received that the city is receiving $12,940 as a final grant from the PWA, and an adjourned meeting has been, called for Friday afternoon for the purpose of alloting amounts due to the contractors working respectively on the Colton water works extension and construction of a sewage disposal plant, both PWA projects. The two Federal checks, reported dispatched Oct. 3, are scheduled to be received by that time.
