DECIDES IMPORTANT CASE
By an Opinion Filed Renders Null and
Void $2O,OOO,OO0 Worth of Irri-

Los ANGELES. April 27.-About
$20,000,000 of irrigation bonds issued
under the Wright act of 1887 are

a fruitful source of litigation ever
since the act became operative, were
virtually rendered worthless in many
courts. The unfortunate bondholders'
last ray of hope of being able to re-
alize on the securities seems to be ex-
tinguished by the decision just rem
dered by Judge Ross of the Federal
Court-a decision which is far reach
ing in its effect and one of the most
important ever made affecting South

as attorney, the successful side of the
litigation, lis that there is no effective
