 Table is table showing the amount of the acreage of land in class A brought into cultivation year by year from 1869 to 1909. inclusive In this table the first column shows the year of first cultivation. the sec ond column the total acreage to such date and the increase in cultivation
 in that year the third column smi- larly the acreage on the North Side, the fourth on the South Side. and the remaining columns such acreage under each of the various canals on the South Side.
 Table 10 is a table showing the amount of water upon the basis estab- lished as the duty of water herein to which the parcels of land in class A lying on the North Side of the river. and the parcels of land in such class lying on the south Side of the river. and such parcels in such class under each of the canals lying on the South Side of the river. are entitled at the various stages of the river up to 45,32J miners inches. the maximum amount necessary under such standard for the total acreage thereof. Such water in the river at it's various stages of flow will bC diverted for dstribu- ton tu this land according to this table. subject to such graduation and interpolation thereof by the Commits sioncr as may he necessary. in the varying increase of the water, tO give to the various parcels of land entitled to the increase their pro- portiouatc share thereof When the flow in the river equals the maximum amount necessary for the irrigation of the total acreage of the land in class plus the loss for carriage. all such land of course can bc sup piled When tho flow in the river is less than the maximum amount. the amount available shall be dis tributcd to the various canals for those parcels of land. first entitled thereto. according to their relative dates of priority by years as shown in the table All flood and stored water shall be shared by those eu- titled to it. and who can avail of it. irrespective of dates of priority.
 The amount nf water in the river available for distribution to be com puted by taking the daily flow in the Verde river and adding thereto the amount of the daily flow iIf the Salt river. The daily flow in the Salt river shall not bc impounded by the government. by means of the Roosevelt dam. in the reservoir. OK cept when the total intake in such reservoir. including the estimated loss thereto by secpage and evaporation between such intake and the conflux with the Verde river. added to the flow of the Verde river shall exceed the amount called for in table 1o. plus the amount to be added thereto for loss by evaporation and sccpage in the canals. unless at the request or with the assent of the users of such water whose land is entitled thereto; and no water user entitled thereto shall be deprived against his consent of his proportionate share of the normal flow of the river by reason of such impending dam. The government. in times of flood water. shall not by impounding water in the reservoir lessen the proportionatc share of such flood water of any ir- dividual land owner not member of the water users association. and against his consent. nor shall 1t lessen the proportionste share of the Tempe and San Francisco canals. or of either of them. to such flood water available to such canals, So as to- deprive such canals of such propor- ton of such flood water desired when the land lying under such canals is in need of such water or any portion thereof. and can avail of it. and O. tify the Commissioner of it's desire to divert such water or any portion thereof The various parcels of land in the valley in cultivation are en- titled to share equally. according to acreage, in the use of the flood water available: the proportionate share in the flood water of the Tempe and San Francisco canals is therc- fore to be measured by their relative acreage under cultivation since the share of the land under the other canals, listed in the association. in the flood water in the Salt river can now be stored for them in the Roose- welt reservoir The acreage under the Tempe canal is found to be ap- proximately Is per cent of the total acreage in cultivation. The acreage under the San Francisco canal is found to be approximately : per cent of the total acreage in cultivation. The amount of flood water to which the Tempe and San Francisco canals shall be entitled to receive. as above stated. is, therefore. IS per cent and 2 per cent. respectively, of the total amount of flood water available.
 The officials sf the United States Government in charge of the reclama- ton project. the reservoir, and the impounding and diversion dams here inbefore mentioned. shall he at all times under the direction and control of the Court with respect to the i'm pounding. diversion and distribution of the flow of water in the river. and they shall make such reports. daily and otherwise. of existing conditions as shall reasonably be required by the Commissioner and as shall show the amount of the flow into the reservoir and in the river. and shall cause to be diverted into the various canals or otherwise such amount or proportion of the water as the Com missioner shall direct
