SCORES HIS COMMITTEE
FOR 'DILAT0RY TACTICS
Councilman Andrews Wearies of
Holding Lone Sessions

Councilman Andrews says he does
not like to be the whole legislation
committee, but when necessity requires
he can be. He showed this when City
Attorney Shenk reported two amend
ments to the license ordinance yes
terday for consideration of the coun-
Gill; with the statement that they had
been requested by the legislation COM
mittee.
One provided the machinery for col
lecting license fees from banks, and
neither Betkousld nor Gregory, the
other members, of the committee, knew
that the amendment had been re-
ouested. The other modified the license
fees Of insurance agents, and the con-
sideration of this matter was not in
the hands of the legislation committee
at ALL but with the public welfare
committee.
Mr.. Andrews spoke sharply of the
other members of his legislation COM
mittee for what he called their dill
atory tactics" saying that they did not
attend the meetings of the committee
as they should.

COUNTY MAY BUY HALL
Of RECORDS FURNITURE
Court Refuses to Issue Injunction
Preventing Consumma-
ton of Contract
Transacts q General Bank.
ing and Trust Business

Judge Bordwell, presiding judge OF
the superior court of Los Angeles
county. yesterday denied the applica-
ton for an injunction preventing the
board of supervisors from consum-
mating the contract with the Califor-
mia Furniture company for the FUR
nishing of the new county building,
the hall of records, which adjoins the
court house on the south. He held
that he had no jurisdiction over the
actions of the supervisors and de-
clared his inability to issue the de-
sired restraining order unless
charges of fraud were made against
the members of the board.
The injunction was asked for by
Leonard Merrill, who, as taxpayer,
brought the suit in the name of the
people of California Monday. He al
legged that because the supervisors
could not give adequate data to the
prospective bidders but sent them to
the heads of the various county Off
ces, the awarding of the contract to
the California Furniture company for
S247,990 was illegal. He also asserted
that the supervisors action was not
legitimate because of their awarding
the contract by resolution to bidder
whose price was higher than that of
some others who offered to contract
for the work.
Merrill declared that the supervisors.
though advised of their Illegal actions,
declined to readvertise for bids for the
work but proceeded to accept the bid
of the California Furniture company.
1t was to prevent the formal accep-
lance of the contract that Merrill asked
the injunction, only to meet defeat, as
Judge Bordwell claimed he had no
jurisdiction in the matter, considering
the actions of the supervisors so far.

Injunction Against Grasshoppers.
Greeley.-Farmers in the Greeley

destroying grasshopper eggs found IN
the soil by millions on high, dry
places.
The ditch banks are favorite breed
ing places of the pests and are plowea
to lay bare the eggs, after whicr
straw is scattered over them and
burned. All knolls on the farms are
being handled in the same way in
hopes that freezing weather will
destroy the eggs.
Rairorad companies will be peti.

every effort will be made this fall to
kill off this pest. Next spring farm,

Greatest Colo. Irrigation Project.

Greeley.-The greatest irrigation
! project ever proposed in Colorado
bids fair to become reality as soon
as men and money can complete it.
This is the damming Of the South
Platte river at the Narrows, in Nor
gan county, and the storing water to
irrigate one million acres, the work to
cost $25.00O.O00.
Incidentally, the creation of the res.
ervoir will entail the flooding of many
valuable farms and of the site of The
flourishing town of Weldona, while
the Union Pacific railway will be COM
PEELED to take up thirty miles Of track
and lay it on a new roadbed.
With all surveys completed and ap-
proved, not one land owner in the pro
posed irrigation district, it Is said, OBJ
jected to its formation and with COM
pany ready to invest $25.000,000 in the
enterprise, articles of incorporation of
the Narrows reservoir will be filed
soon.
Among those pushing the most stu
pendous irrigation project ever con-
templated for Colorado, by which
water is to be put on 100000 acres
within three years in Weld, Morgan
and Phillips counties, are c. T. Neill,
]. r. Warren, E. H. McClenahan, s. H.
Southard, C. E. Southard, D. B. and
Jesse Wyatt of Greeley, James Hurley.
P. w. Putnam and Thomas Grace Of
Fort Morgan and capitalists of Den
yer and Omaha.
One dam across the Platte river at
the point known as the Narrows will
be 112 feet high and 1000 feet long
and built of solid concrete. AS the
bed of the river at this point is solid
rock, there will be no danger Of wash
The site for the dam is bought and
paid for and conservative irrigationists
say enough water goes to waste an
nually in the Platte at this point to
fill the enormous reservoir planned
each year.
The sixty-five miles of ditch, to be
sixty feet wide and fifteen feet deep,
with carrying capacity Of 5000 feet
a second, will be lined with cement
its entire distance, as 1t passes through
sandy country, which otherwise
would absorb the ditch water.
The enterprise will necessitate re.
building thirty miles of Union Pacific
tracks. The company must buy valu-
able farms in the vicinity OF Orchard
and Weldona and part of Weldona,
which will become part Of the bed Of
the big reservoir. 1t is said water
can be put on the land for $25 an
acre.
