OF selling its water 80 cheaply-as to JUS
tify the placing Of periodical assessments
upon the stock to maintain the works.
As Contributor" truly says, this IS
practically to discount and depreciate
the value of the land; for the
inevitable inference raised by this
peculiar process is that the land
is not rich enough to pay for its irriga-
ton. But whether "Contributor" has
struck the nail on the head or not, 1t is
evident, from the fact that sfter ad-
vertising for bids for the district bonds
a lone bid to take $4,000 worth is the
poor result, that there is something in
the way in which the water business
has been managed in the district that
rel els capitalists. and sends its bonds
begging vainly for bidders. "Contribu-
tori proposes way out of the difficulty
which ought to commend itself. to the
people of the district. 1t is to stop ex-
penses and to proceed to help them
selves by putting their own shoulders to
the wheel, instead of praying for Cap
italist Hercules to help them out OF
the mud,
Los Angeles herald., 1892-05-07

ever invented-one which condemns the
district and its management more than
anything else in the eyes of capitalists,
viz; That the current expenses shall
not be met by the sale of the water. It
conveys at once the idea that the water
supply is inadequate for the district, or
that the users of water are unwilling to
pay for that which alone produces their
crops and gives value to their lands.
When capitalists call for semi-annual re-
ports OF expenses and income and find
that the income from water has been
so little, assessments to meet current
expenditures 30 large, and contin-
ually increasing debt, it is no wonder
that we receive the cold shoulder. Ii
merchants or bankers should conduct
their business in similar manner, how
long would it be before the store doors
would be closed? If the water is not
worth what it costs to maintain the
works and its distribution, the water
system is failure and financiers will
never take our bonds until an entire
change Of policy is inaugurated.
Our bylaws are somewhat like
the laws of the Medee and
Persians, made Interchangeable in the let
ter, but ignored in practice and evaded
whenever. possible. One share of stock
for particular acre being the rule of
our bylaws, yet in one end of our dis
trict 240 shares of stock are sufficient
for $40 acres of land, while in the other
end they pool their stock and by re-
peated transfers the same stock is made
to cover any number of acres. Tricks
like these are considered evidences of
smartness, ,and legitimate even for direc-
tor, and none calls louder for cheap water.
Such evasions will be resorted to in one
shape or another until the water is
made to pay the cost of its maintenance
and a sufficient supply stored for all the
wants of the district regardless of the
amount of stock owned by any user of
water for irrigation; and this can only
be done when the district is fully organ
ized and working under the Wright law,
and every acre of irrigable land in the
district made not only responsible for
the debts, but capable of receiving its
proper share of the water, and the owner
madeto pay the full cost of what he re-
ceives. That such time may soon come
is the desire of the undersigned.
Contributor.
