STATE GIVEN GEN
EROUS PORTION.
Idaho Gets $70OO,OOO Of The
$20,000,0o0 Apportionment For
Irrigation Purposes.

Washington, ID. C., Dee. 90
ldaho's two big government irri-
cation projects are assured COM
pletion by the appropriation Of
funds made today by President
Taft. The president not only has
apportioned the $20,000,000 fund
which was provided by congress
at the last session, largely through
untiring efforts of Senator Borah,
but has apportioned as well the
contemplated increment to regu-
lar reclamation for 1911 to 1914,
inclusive, amounting to more than
$25 100000 additional. From
these two funds Idaho will re-
ceive a total Of $7,1l3,135, all of
which but $52S,000 goes to the
Payette-Boise project. The half
million goes to complete the Min
idoka project. Of this total ST.
100000 for the Payette-Boise is
taken from the $40, 100000 fund
provided by congress. The re-
naming $5,000,O00 and over is al
lotted out of the receipts to the
regular reclamation fund between
1911 and 1914.
This allotment insures not only
the completion Of the Minidoka
project, which is now in advanced
stages, but insures the practical
completion Of the Boise-Payette
project, the allotment being in
accordance with the estimates Of
the reclamation S rvice engineers.
Fortunately for settlers in Ida
no no interest will have to be
paid ON the $5,030,000 which is
taken from regular reclamation
fund, although 3 per cent must
be refunded on the $4,000, 900 Civ
en- the Payette-Boise project from
the twenty million fund. Whether
this $50 goo interest on the two
millions will be assessed against
the entire Payette-Boise project
or against that portion benefited
by this specific allotment is a
problem the board Of engineers
did not solve, but they intimate
that il will be impossible to seq
regate the lands benefited and
that the 100000 will be assessed
against the entire project. This,
however, will not greatly increase
the per acre cost Of water, and
will be only one-third Of the tax
that would have been imposed
had the whole allotment for this
project come from the 100000, 600
fund.
Senator Borah, when told Of
Idaho's allotments, expressed his
satisfaction and said: 81 am fam
liar with the figures necessary
to complete the Payette-Boise and
Minidoka projects, but | do know
that the amounts allotted are un-
derstood and believed to insure
the completion Of both of them
just as rapidly as the work can
be done. There will be no ques-
ton from now on as to their
completion, and if the money is
not ready in accordance with this
distribution it will be provided
by an extra issue. The main pro
position that our prospects will
be finished as speedily as possible
is settled. Statesman.

May Hire Janitor.
Mountain Home, Idaho,
December 2S. 1910.

December 2S, 1910.
In the matter Of the authority
Of the Village to pay $1,000 per
month for the services of a jani-
tor | beg to submit the following
opinion.
The statute gives the Board of
Trustees power to pass all ordin-
ances, bylaws, rules, regulations
and resolutions, not inconsistent
with the laws Of the state, as may
be eXpedient or necessary for the
welfare and good government Of
the Village.
1t is the duty of the Board of
Trustees to provide a meeting
place. They have the right to
hire a janitor to keep their rooms
clean and orderly. So long as
the amount paid is reasonable it
is a proper and just charge
against the Village. ] do not
consider the sum of ten dollars
per month an unreasonable a.
mount to pay f5r jauitor services.
It is my opinion that the Village
has the authority to pay such a
sum for sach services.
Respectfully submitted,
Il. NJ Owen
Village Attorney.

mentioned is that it is against
public policy for one p som to
make contract in his individual
capacity and the same person to
act for a municipal corporation
in such contract in his oftleial ca
pacity ON Che ground That the
individual would be apt to secure
better terms in the contract than
the municipal corporation which
he represents ana better terms
than the individual would be en-
titled to. Since Mr.. Norell had
no interest in the Elmore Coun-
ty Republican and was not an
officer Of the Village at the time
this contract was entered into,
the reason for such statute does
not apply. Therefore Mr.. Norell
is not disqualified nor said con-
tract invalidated either by the
letter or the spirit Of said section.
Therefore, it is my opinion that
Mr.. Noren is qualified to hold
the office of Village Clerk and
that the contract between the Vii
lage and the Elmore County Re-
publican is a valid, legal contract.
Respectfully submitted,
j. M. Owen,
Village Attorney.
