RESERVOIR RIGHTS
A New Feature To Be Incorporated in
 Deeds to Real Estate.

The board of governors of the Water Users association held a meeting yes terday at which two or three very inn portant matters were acted upon and several other matters of detail given consideration. One thing that was done merely to comply with the law governing corporations was the ap- pointment of a legal agent to repre- sent the association in the event of it becoming necessary to serve legal pro- this position by the passage of the fol- lowing resolution:
 Resolved by the board of governors Of the Salt River Valley Water Users association Ca corporation duly organ ized under the laws of the territory of Arizona) that, in compliance with para graph 1S3 R. s. Arizona, 1901, and of acts amendatory thereof, E. J. Bennitt who is and has been for at least three years last past bona fide resident of Maricopa county, Arizona, is appointed agent of said corporation upon whom all notices and processes, including ser vice of summons. may be served, and when so served shall be deemed, taken and held to be lawful personal service on said corporation.
 And it is further resolved that a duly authenticated copy of this resolution be filed in the office of the auditor of the territory.
 We certify that the foregoing is true copy.

 B. A. FOWLER, President. F. H. PARKER, Secretary Another matter that was disposed of should interest every present or pros pective property owner in the valley and every agent or officer engaged in making transfers, for it concerns the perpetuation of reservoir rights in the | event of property now signed for water storage being transferred to new own CTS. It is very probable that from now on there will be a large movement in real estate and especially in lands hay ing prospective reservoir rights. Unless all deeds executed from now on con- tain a uniform clause transferring the reservoir interest, titles might become discouragingly mixed. The governors | therefore passed the following resolu-
 ton which it is expected all convey ancers will find it to their interest to observe:
 Resolved, That substantially the fol- lowing form be recommended for use | by conVeyancers or other persons l drawing deeds for the conveyance or mortgages of lands to which shares of the capital stock of this association are to become appurtenant by reason of subscription therefor:
 Together with all rights and privi- 1 leges appurtenant or to become appur- tenant to said lands by virtue of the subscription of. for. .... shares of the capital stock of the Salt River Valley Water Users association. and subject to all the terms. conditions and liabilities incident thereto" A document of some four or five type written pages prepared by Judge Kib
 bey and being a resume or index ex planatory of the various exhibits that are to be placed before the secretary of the interior, showing the work ac- complished to date, maps. lists of set tiers with acreage subscribed. character of acreage. its former vested rights and various other details, was read and adopted. The board then authorized President Fowler to gO to Washington anu present. lIlS dSSoCidllOH present status and report, if in his judgment it would expedite matters. And in the event of his going it also authorized him, if he deemed it wise on arrival, to send for Judge Kibbey. who will be in Indiana anyway. as he expects to leave with Mrs. Kibbey next Monday for a short visit there.
 The purpose of this is seen when it is remembered that the work here has for the time being been accomplished, and the field of activity will now be in way or abandoned.
 Secretary Hitchcock is now in New England. MT. Walcott is in New York and MT. Newell is in Denver. It is left with President Fowler to ascertain when. where and how soon he can get these men together and then act with out delay. If the report is placed in MT. Walcotts hands in Washington and the secretary was still away il would naturally be left to the routine of business, but If it is approved by the survey and MT. Fowler is there he will probably be directed to at once proceed with it to the secretary where ever he may be. Having done all that can be done here it is desirab ble to elim- mate as much as possible the deparc ment routine that might delay matters by having some one on the ground to answer questions and to keep the en- terprise at the top of the calendar.
