A JOINTURt PLAN
 FOR CONSIDERATION
Mr. HiIrs Proposition For the Relief
 of the North Side Canals.

Engineer l.. c. Hill arrived from Yuma yesterday afternoon for he pre- yiously announced conference with She committee representing the E.rmers under the various canals. respecting a plan for joint construction of the dam at the head of the Extension canal. The train was late and the conference was a brief one. MT. Hill leaving again for Yuma on the early evening train.
 It has been previously understood that the difference of the farmers un- ter the lower canals has been due to the fact that the Arizona Water com Tany is shortly to 70 out of business, that the farmers have no fund for this construction work and no way of mak- ing d just and equitable collection of the necessary money. Mir. Hill's prop Osition to them to meet this eXigen- cy was therefore substantially as fol-
 lows: That he would, acting for the government. be willing to pay wages of the wor!1men on the dam. to an amount equal to the proportion agreed upon to be borne by the lower canals and collect it by ar increased levy for water carriage on May 15 and there after. There is now about 11.0O0 acres under cultivation under each Of the four canals affected and those inter- ested can use these figures as a basis of calculation. MT. Hill stated, how ever. that before this work is under taken he would want the assurance of the land owners affected by this plan, that it would meet with their approval.
 Another important point he made. was that in the event sufficient water
