new city was started three weeks ago when several of the "first families" then temporarily camping near the Yolo County end of the Street bridge found themselves close to starvation An appeal to the To lo County authorities for relief brought instead a command to "move on" Opposite the ranch of Fred Jones Natomas district farmer was a strip of land lying between the Garden Highway and the Sacramento River used during harvest times as a camp ground for migratory workers Jones appealed to for permission to allow the families to stay there rent-free the city of Hooverville was officially launched Settlers Organize The original settlers promptly organized and at an open-air mass meeting Slater was elected 'mayor" A simple set of rules was drawn up to form a "city charter" and MacKenzie was named "sanitary officer" Keller was appointed "building inspector" Mayor Slater said the four principal regulations are: 1 Do not cut timber within the "city limits" 2 Keep grounds clean: put gar dren of grammar school age who are living in the city The third objective is to find jobs for the members of the community Additional Woe Additional trouble piled upon the camp esterday when County

camp Slater said the children's parents informed Harshner they would like to have their children in school but that they had no clothes nor food nor means of getting the children to the school Harekner said the school district did no maintain a bus nor could it afford to furnish the children with a lunch or clothing but he insisted that the parents compel the children to attend in nomIllance with the state law None of the children were sent to the school to-day largely the parents informed Slater because none of hewn horl fleovif I Sophisticated!
