arguments of counsel and others both
for and against the creation of such
herd district and the Idaho Irrigation |
Company appeared before this Board I
by IL. e. Essley and w. p. Burke and |
represented that it represents or has
control Of approximately twO-thirds |
of the land to be embraced within said |
proposed herd district and that, in |
their opinion. the creation of such herd |
district would be very detrimental to
the best interests of the said Idaho
Irrigation Company as well as to the
settlers now located upon these lands,
and that, in their judgment, the time
was not yet ripe for the creation of
such herd district; and the Board be-
ing fully advised in the premises,
denies the petition asking for the ere
alton of such herd district on the
grounds and for the reason that, in
the opinion of the Board, the oppor
tune time for the creation of a herd
district to embrace the territory pro-
posed to be embraced within the herd
district herein petitioned for, has not
yet arrived.
Whereupon the Board adjourned I'M
