EwDARD HEDDxS.
This, as stated before, was about what
had been expected and the adoption Of
the following resolution at once demon
stratcd that an effort would be made to
organize company to take out the
bitches on the cooperative plan:
WHEREAS. the report of surveyor
Hedden shows that the projected canals
to irrigate the bench and other lands
in this vicinity can be constructed for
the approximated sum OF S0l 600. a very
Insignificant sum compared with the
munificent benefits which will accrue
from said canals. be il therefore, ft
RESOLVED, that il is the sense OF this
meeting that we proceed to perfect the
necessary arrangements for the organiza-
tion OF company of the farmers and
all others who may be directly interested
for the purpose of constructing said
bitches, and that we believe it will be
more conducive to the happiness and
prosperity of the patrons of said bitches
for they them selves to construct il than
for a company of foreign capitalists. as
by so doing the principal expense may
be betrayed in labor and at times when
nothing else of profit can be done.
After short recess during which
time the maps and profiles of the survey
or were examined, the ditch meeting
was adjourned and
