WATER IN
NONTEzUMA

Montezuma is torn asunder over
the proposition of T. c. Henry to take
up $795,000 of bonds recently voted
by the people of the Montezuma val
ley irrigation district and complete a
system begun 20 years ago. The peo-
Pile are divided on the proposition.
Some of them say they will never
expend another dollar in the valley
Il the Henry proposition is accepted,
and others say they will sell and go
away II 1t Is not adopted. One side
claims that while the advocates of
the Henry proposition are basing
their proposal on 10000 acres of avail
able land to pay in 20 years an
amount in excess of $l2.50; that there
is in fact only 10000 acres of land
which would now be subject to taxa
ton for the payment OF interest and
principal OF water bonds. II there
are only 10000 acres OF such land,
they argue that the price per acre
would be six times as much as 1t
would be on the basis of 60 1000 acres,
argue that within a few years the ir-
rigation district would have its lands
con6scated for debt; that only water
users would pay anything toward the
revenue for paying interest and prin-
cipal, and that the whole burden
would fall on few; that as fast as
people found they could not meet the
tax they would abandon their land
and that the county would have to
sell their holdings for taxes; that this
selling OF the peoples lands, and that
the result would be the final owner
ship of the entire district by those
who held the bonds.
Many who favored and voted for
the bonds are opposed to the accept
ance Of the Henry proposition which
will expend at once every available
dollar for which the bonds will sell.
1t is urged that the estimates are too
high for the work outlined; that much
of the work can be done at from 20
to SO per cent less than the estimates
call for.
Many who supported the bonds did
SO with the understanding and pur-
pose that portion OF the money to
be availed would be kept in reserve
tor the maintenance and further i'm.
provement Of the system, and they
are opposed to the immediate expen-
diture of all the money. They want
to expend so much of the money at
present as will be necessary to facili-

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, March 3.-The Financier
says this week: Last weeks official state
ment of the New York associated banks
was by no means so unfavorable as was
expected would be the case from the es-
Inmates of cash losses which were based
upon the traceable movements of money
during the week. Such estimates indicated
a decrease of from pa to Ia millions,
whereas the officially reported loss was
s.. 305 400. This would seem to show that
the banks in some way, reinforced their
cash resources, for the loss caused by SUBJ
treasury operations alone was computed
at nearly six millions
The deposits decreased s12, 753, 200, which
amount is about one million greater than
the sum of the contraction in loans plus
the loss of cash; therefore the statement
did not prove. The required reserve against
general deposits was reduced So, 1888, 425, de-
Quoting which from the loss of cash left
S116,975 as the reduction in surplus re-
serve to $5o0S,7 J0. 1t is noteworthy that
since February 10 the surplus each week
has shown comparatively small reductions.
the total decrease in the interval, includ-
ing last week. being 1884, S25. Computed
upon the basis of deposits, less those of
s., $50, 800 public funds, the surplus last
week was S7,147, 725. The loans were con-
tracted s.463, 100 indicating that cancelia-
lions. as the result of foundations on the
stock market, were most likely offset to
some extent by new borrowings.
I ne loans were 81 1893, 700 in excess of de-
posits, against s7,003. 100 In the previous
week. The daily average of bank clear
ings was $685.. O00,0 eco against 1919, 900 600
in the previous week Clearings on Satur-
day rejecting Fridays business were $37T.-
9o5 Al. Comparisons of changes in loans
by individual banks show that eight In
stitutions reduced this item by 100000
net. Ten banks lost 1-3 millions net cash.
1t would be interesting to note that the
most important factor contributing to the
aforementioned loss by the banks TO the
subtreasury last week was the compulsory
deposit with the treasury by institutions,
whose charters had been extended In 1903
for the second time since 1883. of about
81, 00o, 600 of lawful money with which to
retire their old crculation-the act of. 1882
requiring notes emitted under old charters
thus to be retired within three years after
such charters are extended II the notes
have not been previously redeemed. The
deposit of the above sum was largely eff
fected through the New York correspond
ents of the newly rechartered banks;
hence the extraordinary drain into the SUBJ
treasury OF cash for account of the re-
demption fund
