Judge Hiles yesterday delivered
Judgment in the case of the Herman
Irrigation company against George w.
Kiel, the Butterfield Mining company
and others, which was tried and sub
mitted a few weeks ago. The suit was
brought to determine the rights of the
parties to the waters of Butterfield
Creek on the eastern slope of the
Oquirrh range of mountains in Salt
Lake county.
His honor held that the plaintiff is
entitled to all the waters Of Butter
field creek flowing therein from nat
ural sources of supply and that the
defendants are entitled to all the
waters in and flowing out of the Queen
and Butterfield tunnels into Butter
field creek, after making the abate-
meslts and deductions therefrom at
the headgate or point of diversion
thereof from the creek to the defend
ant Kiers land, 10 per cent of the
Butterfeld tunnel and 6 per cent of
the pipe line water.
His honor thinks that a commission
or commissioners should be appointed
by the court to establish such requisite
appliances at the proper places and to
make such measurements and adjust
ments as shall be expected to equitably
divide the waters in the creek at the
headgate to the use of the parties
plaintiff and defendant, according to
these findings.

property tax as the expression is used
in enumerating the essential qualifi-
cations of an elector under a PROPOSE
ton such as mentioned in section ia
of the school law.
Il should sa-r that a property tax
comprehended in the section referred
to is one that in its assessment and
collection refers to property in the
district, legally held by persons in
their capacity as individuals; that is,
in the case in question, property that is
held absolutely, or in fee simple by
qualified voter. A dover, inheritance,
or corporation right not taxable as
such in segregation, has no recognition
in this term. To be a legal voter at
such an election as you refer to, and
provided for in section ia of the school
law. a person must, besides other nee
essary qualifications, be able to show
by receipt or otherwise that he has
paid legal assessment in the district
as required in the law, tax, in fact,
on property held in his own name.
Yours truly, JOHN r. PARK,
State Superintendent of Public In
struction.''
According to the above, all registered
voters who have paid a tax either real
or personal are entitled to vote.
