IMPORTANT CHANGES
IN IRRIGATION LAW
Measure Is Passed in the Sen

Vote.

Many important changes are made in
the present law relating to the construc-
tion OF irrigation projects by senate bill
No. 4. by Benner Y. Smith. which was
passed by the unanimous vote of the
senate on Friday.
The measure goes into the detail work
of the state engineer and allows an ex-
tension OF i've years in which to COM
plete the work on certain projects. AS
originally drafted the bill called for an
Increase in the salary of the state en-
gineer. The committee on agriculture and
irrigation, however. eliminated this fea-
ture.
The committee report on the bill was
favorable and II was placed on its final
passage and approved by the entire
vote OF the senate. Time for the COM
plctfon OF the work on some or the state
projects. II was announced, will expire
under the present law on February L. For
that reason the action on the bill was
FASTENED in order that an additional ex-
tension OF five years might he granted

tee on agriculture met with the senate
committee In consideration of this meas
ure and agreed TO the recommendations
of the senate committee.
IL Is expected that when the bill
reaches the house it will be taken up
under a suspension of the rules and i'm
mediateiy passed. The signature of the
governor Will then be all that will be
required to make the measure a law In
time to permit the state to profit by the
extension Of time.
