Immediately. Negotiations have been
pending for two years. The system
comprises POO miles of main canals
and 200 miles of laterals, and the deal
itself comprehends 120 miles of canal.
Mr.. Brady retires perm anently from
the canal business.
"This closes out the last piece of
canal property I own," said Mr..
Brady, "and expect to retire per-
manently except in SO far as am able
to encourage others in the develop
ment of irrigation enterprises within
our state. 1 am not retiring because
the business is not profitable, but for
the reason that l have believed for
years that the successful solution Of
the irrrigatio question in the arid
west is the owning of canal property
by the farmers themselves.
