TO TAKE BONDS, BUILD THE
HIGH LINE, COMPLETE CANAL

(Fifth) THE conditions upon

bid to perform construction by April

the general features of the gravity
line for the High Line territory we
should build. Such proposed line
would not conflict with any vested
rights. The right of way would not
interfere with the railroad, the coal
properties, fruit orchards, existing
bitches or water appropriations.
We will still engage to construct
and complete the proposed system by
April /. 1911, taking district bonds
in payment therefor. We will con-
sent to embrace all government lands
in the Irrigation District. enlarged
so as to include all patented tracts
covered. If lands lying above our
gravity line are to be irrigated by
pumping. employing hydro-electric
power generated as l have heretofore
explained, such lands might be or
ganized into separate district. or
