To the honorable Superior court above
named:
Comes now plaintiff in the above
entitled action, and respectfully rep
resents as follows:
That w. H. Holabird, receiver
herein, is delivering large quantities
of water to various mutial water COM
panies of the Imperial valley without
payment in advance and under a sys-
tenn or plan whereby he delivers to
such water companies such quantities
or amounts of water as they shall re-
quire, and settles therefor only once
every six months, that is to say, on or
about July 1st said receiver bills said
water companies for the water deliv-
cred from January 1st to July 1st, and
on or about January 1st, said receiver
bills said water companies for water
delivered during the preceding six
months.
That the agreement, plan or system
above referred to does not cover all
of the mutual water companies, there
being a few smaller companies from
whom the receiver requires payment in
advance will simply induce the other
tion of the water is delivered to these
companies, the balance being deliv-
cred to the other companies under the
plan and system above set forth.
That during the past six months the
amount of credit thus extended to said
mutual water companies aggregates,

ants remains to be shown. South of
Torreon are great deserts to which
water will have to be carried in some
instances for hundred miles. These
are also devoid of cattle, so that the
rebels will have to depend for. relief
upon such towns as they leave in the
rear.
The railroad systems and the natu-
raj routes, which the rebels would
have to follow in an invasion of the
central and southern states, form a
triangle. Torreon, 525 miles south
of the United States border, with a
population of $4,000, forms the north
west angle of the triangle. Saltillo
and Monterey are on the northeast
angle, while the two routes south
ward running through important cit
les converge at Mexico City. Two
rebel armies thus might start, one
each from Torreon and Saltillo and
while marching southwark be separ-
ated by about 200 miles until they
reach the vicinity of Mexico City.

The directors of the Irrigation Dis
trict this morning listened to re-
port from Attorney M. w. Conkling,
who had just returned from a trip
to Los Angeles, where he conferred
with Depositario Andrade regarding
proposal for the district to secure
water direct from the Mexican COM
pany and furnish it to the mutual
companies.
Several of the mutual companies
have already signifed their willing
ness to make deal with the Irriga-
ton District for water, and portion
of the companies are in such shape
geographically that service can be be-
gun almost at once, while with others
but little work will be necessary to
get in shape.
Mr.. Conkling reported that Mr.. An
drade was willing to enter into the
arrangement and it is believed within
thirty days the district will be serv-
ing a portion of the mutual compa-
nies, and that others will line up at
once.
Under this project, Receiver Hola-
bird will not be in position to serve
the companies, and consequently he
cannot collect water rentals, the
movement leaving the mutual compa-
nies affected with no relationship to
the receiver.
This comes at an opportune time.
for the receiver has just made his
fifth effort to compel the companies
to pay water rentals in advance.
At the meeting this morning the
sentiment was that the companies
would not be the first to break the
contract with the C. D. Company, but
it. the court orders advance payment
for water they will look to the dis
trict instead of to the receiver for

Criminal Courts
Are Overloaded

If the eight-hour law had been ap-
piled to District Attorney Phil d.
Swings office it is more than prob
tended to by the county's prosecuting
attorney and legal adviser during the
year 1918 would not have been COM
pleted until December, 1914, for Mr..
Swing and his deputy, H. l.. Welch,
were on the job for practically six
teen hours a day for the past twelve
months, in that time disposing of 81
criminal defendants. The total is as
great as of the first four years of
Imperial county from August, 1907,
to August, 1911.
The work of the district attorney
is of varied nature. His fertile brain
has to jump from one case to an
other, now listening to complaints,
then to a heartbreaking tale of some
unfortunate; preparing contracts that
the county is to enter into; keeping
numerous engagements with the diff
ferent county officials and giving le-
gal advice; sitting with the board of
supervisors; going through stack Of
daily mail of requests for advice, COM
plants and appeals from the poor,
and then, a small matter, arguing in
both Superior and Justice courts. Oh,
yes, Phil Swing has little time to
attend meals at the Swing castle,
pick up the new baby, toss it in the
air a couple of times, and he is off
again, almost a hello and goodbye
every day except Sunday.
Deputy Prosecutor Welch is kept
on the jump also. Today in Brawley,
tomorrow Holtville, the next Imperial
and CaleXico, and associated with diff
ficult cases here are a few of the
weekly missions that demand his
time.
The other morning District Attor-
new Swing arrived at his office early
to get little time to go over case
before the days visitors commenced
to arrive. Before him he saw a mass
of work piled up in the office. He
wondered if the office was doing its
duty and disposing of business as rap
idly as possible.
Calling Welch into consultation,
time was checked up and it was found
that both had put in every spare mo-
ment. Something else was the mat
Swing found the cause when he
checked up the past years business
equal to the first four years OF the
Imperial County Superior court.
During the year 1913 there was
total of Sc criminal defendants who
plead guilty and were convicted; ac-
ouittals; 7 disagreements OF Jurles; IL
dismissals on account of insufficient
evidence. At the end of the year
there were IL defendants remaining
undisposed of. Ten of the defendants
to be tried in Superior court were
homicide cases.
When asked yesterday if the sale
of liquor in the county was respon,,
sible for a majority of the criminal
cases, Mr.. Swing said he would not
hesitate in saying "Yes," but as to
what proportion he could not. state,
A great number of the prisoners
brought before him attributed their
downfall to the use of liquor

Irrigation District Board Takes
Steps to Secure Quick Action
In Delivery of Water to Farmers

as plaintiff is informed and believes,
in excess of two hundred thousand
($2OO,OOO) dollars, and plaintiff is ad-
vised by said receiver that in all prob
ability said mutual water companies
will require d greater amount of water
during the six months beginning jan
uary /, 1914, than they did during the
SIX months preceding said date.
That under the present plan and
system of operation, said receiver
takes no security for the Indebtedness
thus created Except in the case of a
few of the smaller water companies,
where payment is required in ad-
vance,.
Plaintiff is informed and believes,
and on such information states and al
leges, that said mutual water compa-
nies do not have or own any property
which would be subject to attachment
or execution in the event O.: their fail
ure to pay their water bills.
Wherefore, this plaintiff prays that
an order directing and requiring said
w. H. Holabird, as receiver, to de-
liver water to said mutual water COM
panies only when paid therefor in ad-
vance, under such reasonable rules and
regulations as to the court may seem
right and proper, and directing and re-
quiring him to refuse to deliver said
water to any mutual water company
unless payment therefor is made in
advance.

panies will follow this procedure.
Should the order not be made for ad-
vance payment, it is expected that no
summary action will be taken until the
district obtains possession of the irri-
cation heading and the central canal
through the condemnation proceedings,
which will be begun next week.
