The rules were widely suspended in
order to be able to fully discuss the
subject of a disagreement now pend
ing before the District Court at Provo,
between West Field Irrigating Co. as
plaintiff, and the Spanish Fork City as
defendant The cause Of the disagree
ment hinges on a misunderstanding
as to the meaning and force OF the
eighth clause of decree issued by
Judge Judd on the 18th day of Febru-
airy, 1890. 1t reads as follows: THAT
plaintiff shall pay to Spanish Fork
City it's full proportion of the reason
able and necessary expense, according
: to its interest in water flowing therein
for keeping the mill race and dam il
repair"
The West Field Co. argues that &C
cording to the decree they are only re'
CURED to pay for keeping the race ant
dam in repair, and that said payment
must be reasonable and necessary
The city admits all this but contend:
that the West Field Co. should, &c
cording to the decree, properly inter
: preted. pay its proportion of water
masters expenses necessarily incurred
in the management and distribution
of the water i'll said mill race.
1t must be understood that, includ
ing the West Field Co., there are
. three other parties that draw theil
. amounts of water from the same mil
race, and that Spanish Fork City ap
points the general watermaster wIi1st
, duty is to distribute to ali these com
2 panies theirproportion of water. Now
, the expenses of the watermaster ere
) by Spanish Fork City, divided amons
these companies according to THEN III
/! terests in said water But. the Nts
D Field Co. denies the right of spanisl
, Fork City imposing ON it any othe
expense than that mentioned Direct!
in The decree, and that said decree
