THE RECORD is glad to give its
readers some good Hondo news to-
day. 1t can state on good authority
that while much gypsum has been
encountered in the Hondo work that
clay also has been found. and that
work will at once begin with the Dia-
mond drill to test the extent of thi }

lished below from Mr.. John w. Poe
of the Water Users Association and
Engineer Reed throw much light on
the present status of the reservoir
proposition. Mr.. Reed says that there
are parts of the statement coming
from Director Walcott through Dele
gate Rodey which he does not un-
derstand. Mr.. Reed also directly dis
agrees with Delegate Rodey in the
necessity of the people here taking
any action. He thinks the question is
purely an engineering one, and de-
penGs entirely on their final report
While he does not say what this final
report will be there is vein of hope
fulness and good cheer running thro'
the letter that will make every Ros.
we'll citizen feel much better and
more hopeful.
The following dispatch under date
of Sunday appears in the Globe-Dem-
ocrat from it's special correspondent:
Washington, Mar. 27.-The secre
tary of the interior has authorized
the purchase of the Hondo reservoir
site, in New Mexico, for the sum of
$4,000. 1t is in Chaves county, about
twelve miles west of Roswell 1t is
estimated that the cost of construc
ting the reservoir and bringing the
water to the arid lands will approx
innate $24O,O00, or $40 an acre, for a
minimum acreage of $4,000. 1t is be-
lieved however, that nearly 15,O0O
acres will be served"

In an article published in the Ros

the statement is made as coming
from Delegate Rodey. that ''the peo-
pie of Roswell are in danger of los
ing the Hondo Reservoir unless they
get a hump on themselves and look
after it, and the Record gives as a
reason for the delegate advising the
people of Roswell. to take some unit
ed action, that it is hard enough to
get one of these enterprises started
anyway and the Department is often
only too glad to get an excuse to get
rid of anyone Now the members of
the Board of Directors of the Rio

done that could be done by them

features count for nothing; That the

| believe sir. that you and your as

You must know that each project
must stand upon it's merits, and that
the feasibility will be the deciding
element in every case. regardless of
politics, newspapers. or the desire
of the immediate community You and
your associates know just what has
been done regarding the Hondo pro-
ject, and I assure you that, as far
ther action by your associates is de-

be informed at once, and no charge
of neglect of duty will be lodged
against you until you have failed to
perform the requirements of the de
