tween the city and the various canal
companies and individuals entitled to
the use of the waters of the river.
Councilman Martin moved that the
owners of lotr, who had caused their
lots to be taken from the schedule of
the watermaster, as not desiring to
use the water of the city irrigating
system, be replaced on the schedule
He was of the opinion that this taking
from the schedule of such lots would
increase the tax required to support
the irrigation system on other lots
This motion met with opposition from
some councilmen on the ground that
If owners of lots did not desire to pay
the water tax on the lots for irrigation
and would relinquish their right to the
water for irrigating such lots. they had
the right to do so. and the water right
would revert to the city, and met with
favor from others on the ground that
all city lots were benefited by irriga-
ton, whether the water was used on
the particular lots in question or not.
The motion carried.
