Some Minor Matters.
Give find that number of minor mat
tiers mentioned in the auditors report
such as filing OF vouchers, signing OF
minutes. signing of all warrants Dy the
proper officers. the cancellation OF stubs
of missing warrants. can easily be han
died by the board of directors. and should
nave their early and careful attention
I've find that the following items
mentioned in the auditors report have
either been satisfactorily explained and
adjusted, or else san easily be so adjusted
by being collected or charged TO construc-
tion account. or profit and loss account
And we therefore recommend that these
and all other unsettled matters be re-
ferred for final action to a sub commit
Tee consisting of Messrs: A Z. smith,
| Thomas Preston and Fl. ID. MaughaD, to
| act as advisory TO and in conjunction with
the board of directors

25-We recommend that the bonds now
belonging 10 the district. aggrega ting s32.-
300 be Immediately disposed of at price
not less than par and accrued interest
upon the express understanding that the
proceeds of said bonds shall be put into
special construction fund and be used
only Tor the payment OF material and nee
essary cash labor i'm order to complete the
canal system in order that the same may
De or value and profit to the district We
also recommend that a statement be
signed by the board OF directors and this
committee. and sent 10 the various bond
holders. so far as known. stating that the
taxpayers of the district propose to i'm
medlately finish the canal and carry the
Enterprise TO completion and requesting
such bond holders to refrain from the col
iection or coupon interest until such shall
ne completed. or until Jan. J. 1909
Eve recommend that immediate steps
meetings throughout the district for the
purpose of requesting taxpayers to pay
their assessment so that the district nav
be upon its feet its credit restored and
the purpose of the organization fully car
ried out Your committee is advised that
all assessments including the labor tax
for july. 1897. can he enforced and should
be collected On failing so 10 collect that
the property be sold
We further recommend that all former
assessments omitted from the previous
tax rolls. or otherwise remaining uncol-
lected. should be Immediately recovered in
a manner provided by law.
In conclusion your committee desires to
say that We do not find the affairs OF
the district at all discouragine Nowhere
within the state of Idaho is there as much
valuable and productive lana as may he
round under the canal Of this district.
and II Is only a question of Il few years
that these lands will be very much sought
after. The inhabitants of this district are
strong. energetic and progressive people
and the experience of the last three or
four years. although quite expensive, will
unquestionably prove profitable 10 the fu
ture interest of the taxpayers.
One of the strongest drawbacks Ct this
enterprise has recently been the persistent
personal encounter and fault-findins. all
Of which we hope will Immediately cease.
because while such action may be iniuri-
Gus to individuals. il is absolutely without
any financial benefits TO the district. Your
committee sincerely recommend that all
the people pull together 10 complete this
worthy enternrise. ard that if any per~'ns
refuse or fail to comply with the rec
concentrations you may this dav adopt AT
this meeting. that the board of directors
be requested to enforce compliance by
law But in the meantime the people
should proceed to make the canal strong
and enduring 80 that this beautiful coun-
try may reap the benefits resulting from
one of toe best irrigating systems that
ever has been created. Respectfully sub
mitted.
