TO Its Stockholders.

The first annual statement OF the

sent out TO the stockholders this
week. There is $500 shares of dis
trct stock Issued among which the
expense is divided. The actual am un
assessed against the stock holders is
little in excess OF $500 per Ccre
foot, which allowing three feet rs the
average required, would bring the
cost up to $500 per acre. Where

lands become more cultivated they
will require less water. The report
also states that but one-fodrth OF the
land under the system Is nov being
irrigated When more water Is be-
ing used. the cost Of distribution vii

feet, the amount required would make
the power charge $345 per acre, 30
cents for general maintainence and
30 cents for distribution of water, or
total of s4,25. But there Is lot of
seepage and evaporation to account
for which adds $2.0s to this, making
the total reach $3.50 per acre for the
man who uses, taking one second feat

amount conceded to be necessary
In order to make the assessments
for power charges uniform. an as
scssment OF $500 per acre foot, for
three acre foot OF water pumped, was
also levied, which Ia I'm excess OF the
amount OF water used and the price

all stock holders fairly. eash stock
