TWO IRRIGATION
SCHEMES FAIL
Incompetency of the State Land
Board Shown in Two
Projects.
BIG COMPANY NOW

Several Utahns, However, Will
Protest, Apparently Because
II Will Stop Graft.

AT meeting of the state land board
this (Thursday) morning there will be
presented q protest signed by several
citizens of southern Utah. protesting
against the state turning over to great
construction company Of New York the
contract to complete the Piute irriga-
tion project which the state land board
has had under construction and In which
II has so ignominiously failed just as 1t
did In the Hatchtown Irrigation project.
These projects. which have only been
partly finished, were taken up by the
state land board and constructed In so far
IA they have been constructed under
the direction OF 1he state engineer. The
cost of the Hatchtown project was esti-
mated az SOS. 900. Thus far 1t has cost
s140. 600. This expense includes automo-
bile rides and extraordinary expenses
which do not belong TO irrigating prof.
ects.
The land board has been informed by
other state officials that 1t Is not
equipped TO handle irrigation projects.
but 1t has insisted upon going. ahead

tithe payers who have had soft. easy
jobs. and this counts for a great deal.
The cost of the Piute project thus far
has been s150.000. This sum has already
been paid by the state, with no work
on the dam. while the total estimated
cost of the state engineer was $500. 900
Now he has changed his figures to 5000
900. and an experiment In the way OF
sulclng has been recommended which
will cost $4,000 and which practical pco-
pie say Will be just like burning up
money.
This eastern construction company pro-
poses to complete the work and take war
rants on the state reservoir fund In pay
ment therefor, and TO complete the prof.
ect by April /. 1912

the project Will not be finished within
five years. as the small contractors
would want their pay. and MS there is
only $50 900 In the reservoir fund IL can
readily be seen how little can ne done.
But IL would let the tithe payers in and
