ne ABOVE GeSOluIlOll, pdSSeu yeb-
terday afternoon by the Imperial Val
ley Bankers Association, is a COM
plete endorsement of the position TAX
en- oy the Press in regard to the irri-
cation district.
The bankers feel keenly the with
holding of credit from the valley be-
cause of delay in acquiring the canal
system and because of the resulting
conflict between the receivers, the
district and the mutual companies, and
for several days the Press has been
receiving from them Individually and
from many other prominent citizens
verbal commentator, which now
finds expression in this resolution.
President Hamilton, Attorney Conk-
ling and Chief Engineer lockwood ap-
peared before the association at its
regular meeting yesterday and eX-
planned the position of the board, but
the resolution passed in spite of this.
In the Progress this morning is an
editorial, apparently written by At
torney Conkling, personally attacking
those who oppose his scheme of liti-
cation and questioning the honor of
the opponents of his scheme. The edi-
torial was apparently written before
seeing the resolution, as the writer
probably would not attack the honor
of the bankers of the valley whole
, sale.
The resolution, therefore, is an an
swer to all this criticism.
w. f. Holt Investigates.
w. F. Holt, whose interests in the
valley are as great as ever, has been
in the valley for several days, and
yesterday he attended the meeting Of
the directors and discussed the situa.
ton with them.
Mr.. Holt expressed his confidence
in the board of directors and thought
they had probably done everything
possible up to the present toward ac-
quiring the irrigation system, and said
from this time it is a matter of ex-
pediency whether to negotiate with
the Salt Works and allow a claim that
everybody believes to be unjust, or
to fight the claim and take such con-
sequences as may result.
Mr.. Holt expressed the deep con-
Germ he feels over the neglect of the
Alamo canal by the receiver, fearing
that the canal will silt up and cause
shortage of water for Water Com
panies Nos. l and A during the pres
ent season.
