UnimprOyed Land Now Bears
a Share Of the Burden.
Heretofore Only Improved Lana
Was Assessed 10 Pay Running
Expenses OF Canal.--Now
All Is Assessed.

For the first time, since the Aber-
deen-Springfield irrigated tract was
opened for entry. an assessment OF
water taxes has been levied and col
lected on all the land sold within
the limits of the project. Hitherto
water taxes have been levied only
on such land as has been under
cultivation, but this year all land
owners including nonresident, has
been or will be paid. Collections,
1t Is said, have been very satisfact-
DRY and most OF the non-resldents
have paid without delay or protest.
Local collections have been made by
w. Il. Harold, who has just finished
a ~thirty-day tour of the tract, WIS.,
iting nearly every farm house be-
tween Blackfoot and American Falls.
The tax rate this year was S0.35
an acre and based upon the area Of
sold land this will bring about $17-
600 into the treasury of the COM
pany. The cost of maintenance for
the year was. approximately, $12,-
900 and the repairs already made
have cost between 1900 and ST.
500. Other repairs to be completed
In the spring will cost nearly as
much more, and it is expected that
next spring there will be left in the
TREASURY some. $4,000 to$4,000 to
applv IN next years expenses.
Next wear the work of maintain
ing the canals and distributing the
water will be entered into the hands
of the recently organized Aberdeen
Springfield Canal Company, which
Is an organization of the actual set
tiers upon the land. Herbert
Lowe has been retained as water
master and he will have charge of
the entire system and employ ditch
riders and other helpers.
