the following extracts are taken:
Eat the meeting of the stock oilers of
the A. U. W. Co., who are opposed to
the present proposed change in the
boundaries of the territory of said com.
pany, and the addition of $500 more to
said territory, committee was appointed
to lay before the stock holders of the
compan" the reasons for our opposition
to the scheme.
"In the first place we have already up
wards of - 900 acres within our present
boundaries, only little over one-half of
which Is covered by water stock, and our
Inadequate to meet the deman Is of the
present acreage at all seasons of the year,
and we do not think 1t a wise thing to
increase our present territory.
I'm the second place we do not
think that sufficient time has elapsed
since the repairs and improvements on
the bitches and fumes have been made
increased to irrigate nearly as much
land as the present acreage. In the
third place we think that not an inch
of water has been run to waste in the
sand washes this season, but could and
would have been used by irrigators if
the board of directors had not fixed the
price per head so high and the time of
service so short as to prohibit the use
by the stockholders in except in case
of extreme necessity.
