MR., CONK[|NC ON DECISION
Of STATE SUPREME COURT

water companies. The only thing that
is decided, however, by the supreme
court is that the right of condemna-
ton and the duty to furnish water
by water corporations go hand in hand
and that if one does not exist the
other does not.
The entire decision -: the Thayer
case is based upon the supreme courts
finding that none of the waters brought
TO Imperial valley are devoted to the
public use. 1t follows necessarily that
if none of these waters are devoted TO
the public use that the right of con-
demnation does not exist and that the
California Development company can
not be compelled to furnish water 20
any one except as it sees fit. 1t is
conceded by the supreme court that
if this water is devoted to public
use then the opposite follows that the
right of condemnation and the duty
to deliver water to all also exists. 1t
must be apparent, therefore, even to
a man not a lawyer that if the legis-
lative acts of 1911 have changed the
law in one respect, they have also
changed it in the other. l do not de
sire to be understood in my interview
with you on Monday last express
ing the opinion that mutual companies
have not the right of condemnation.
Personally, l believe that the contrary
is true. / desire to be understood,
however, to say that our supreme court
has said in this Thayer case that the
right of condemnation and the duty to
deliver water go hand in hand. The
Thayer case arose in 1910, as before
stated. If the decision in the Thayer
case be interpreted to refer only to
the law as it stood in 1910, then it is
only an interesting bit of legal history
and will have no effect whatever upon
Thayer's present right to secure water
nor upon the rights of the other com
panies whose situation was exactly
the same as Mr.. Thayer's. l both
believe and hope that such is the case.
The beneficient effects of the deci
sion of Judge Hutton became appar
ent very shortly after its rendition.
Water stock fell in value, while land,
both improved and unimproved, rose
in value Settlement and improvement,
which was at a standstill before, went
ahead as never before in the valleys
history. More water was brought to
the valley by the California Develop
ment company than ever before, and
