ADJUSTING WATER
Difficulties
State Engineer Called and lie
Suggests the Meirs be
Installed.

Since decree of the Supreme
Court OF California settled the
famous law suit between the West
Fork farmers of Carson Valley and
the farmers Of Alpine caunty over
certain water rights and which
hung fire in the courts for many
years, the division Of the water
has been made with no difficulty
and with fairness 10 both sides.
Five years have now elapsed since
the court decision was handed
down and it is alleged by the West
Fork farmers that their Alpine
neighbors, and particularly those
in Diamond Valley are violating
the court ruling this season by
diverting more water than is law
fully allowed them.
State Engineer Boyle, at the
request OF the West Fork farmers,
went over the ground last Satur-
day and as a result OF his invest
CATION it is understood that wei,s
will be placed in the streams SO
there can be no mistake IN
measuring the water and giving IL
equal distribution.
