LACK OF DITCHES
CAUSE FOR ACTION
]. j. StevinsOn Must Defend
Suit for Damages Sustained
by Land Purchaser
Judge Hunt 0verrules Demurrer
to Complaint Based on ALI
legged Misrepresentation

Judge Hunt has overruled the de-
nlurrer IN the suit of II. Heber Jr.
against J. J. Stevinson, a corporation,
in which the plaintiff alleges that he
was induced by misrepresentation 10
enter into q contract to buy land in the
Stevinson irrigstion colony, in Merced
county. The defendant must now an
Swer the complaint, preliminary to
trial. Heber sues for $900.30 from the
irrigation corporation, asserting that
for two years the company neglected to
provide bitches available for irrigating
his land, as promised. which resulted
iu the total failure of two successive
crops.
In November, 1906, Heber entered
into an option TO purchase land in the
Stevinson colony, he states in his COM
plant The land was advertised as
being under irrigation, and Heber states
thar he entered into the contract in the
full belief that the land was either
under irrigation or susceptible of irri-
cation from the company's canals. He
Der entered on the land Immediately
after signing the option. and expended
500 IN erecting a house and fence and
digging a wei.
He asserts IN his complaint that
when he ascertained his land was not
under irrigation he was informed by
the superintendent of the colony that
water would be available for the
spring crop OF 1907, and he thereupon
paid his agreed water rent for the year
1soe-1so7. namely, Sz.S5. At an ex-
pense Of $50 he planted a crop in the
expectation that water would be fur
nished and that he would harvest a
crop netting him $500. But no bitches
were built available for irrigating his
land in 1907, he complains.
Heber states that in the early part
Of 1907 two bitches were constructed
on both sides of his lot, but were too
high 70 be of any use TO him. It was
no until the summer Of 1908 that
ditc.s were built that were available
FOR oae 10y Heber. He had planted an
oNler crop for 1907-Isos at an expense
OF $40 but owing to the absence of
bitches this also was q total failure
II was expected to net Heber $500. His
loss on all these items totaled $500. go
Heper sets up, and he sues for that
sum.
The demurrer which Judge Hunt
oVerruled was based on the contention
that the land was not definitely de-
scIibeo; that~the nature of the cron
wss not stated, and that the Complaint
dfd not state what authority the suner-
lniendent had for making statements
10 Heber
