MESA
THE WATER MEETING.

The meeting of Mesa water users
to try and arrive at a system of
handling the irrigated water within the
town, held Monday night, resulted in a
general plan being adopted that will
be embodied in an ordinance by the
town attorney and presented to the
council. There are some features that
are yet in a rather chaotic state, but
the rough corners, it is hoped will be
rounded off and in time everybody be
satisfied That is, nearly everybody,
for there will always be some who will
have a kick coming. The feature of
every man cleaning the laterals along
his property holdings will work hard
ship to men who have corner lots in
some instances. but these cases can
no doubt be adjusted. a large num-
berof property owners have already
signed up with the city.
