U. S. MAY ABANDON PROJECT.
Reclamation Service To Decide Fate Of
Big Irrigation Plant Located
At Wlliiston N. q.

Williston.-The next 80 days will.
IN all probability, determine whether
or not the government will abandon
thel ocal irrigation project or whether
further efforts will be made to put
the plants on successful basis.
That this statement of the present
condition Of affairs is correct is ad.
mitted by representatives of the
reclamation service as we'll as by rep.
resentatives OF the water users under
the local project. After holding hear.
ings in the city and listening to about
80 per cent OF the water users who
appeared before them, the members
OF the board Of review, appointed to
investigate local conditions, adjourned
until the last of this month whsn
they will reassemble here for the
purpose Of completing their recommen.
dations to the Washinton officials con.
corning the future of the North Dakota
pumping project.
To Gather information.
Although 1t was officially announced

From the statements made before
the committee the members have prac.
ttcally arrived at the conclusion that
the irrigation project here can be Cd.
Grated at water cost to the water
users of not to exceed $3.50 an acre.
and 1t Is the desire of the commit.
tee to bring the cost as much under
that amount as possible.

DECLARE TAX BILL is UNJUST
Business interests Intimate Injunction
to Restrain Cass Co. Auditor May
Be Sought-&2o ,000, 900 Involved.

Fargo. - Injunction proceedings to
restrain the county auditor of Cass
county from spreading on the state tax
lists approximately S20,0O0.000 worth
OF mortgages held by individuals and
concerns In this county were intimated
by heads Of prominent business inter.
ssts in this city. They stated that
the tax bill as passed at the last ses.
sion Of the Legislature is unjust and
should be declared unconstitutional.
States Attorney Fowler was seen at
his Office and refused to give an opin.
Ion on the matter. He stated, how.
ever. that he did expect to be called
upon to give O. written opinion by the
board Of equalization which meets in
Fargo. Many of the mortgages are
said to have been made on contracts
now practically discharged. 1t is stated
that the tax men merely made copies
of the mortgage records in the office
OF the register of deeds and did not In.
vestigate whether the mortgages had
been assigned to banks, or where any,
or practically all. the payments have
been made.
Amount Totals s2o,ooo,ooo.
In Cass county 1t is said that the
amount of the mortgages totals $2o..
100000. One-fourth Of this is pur.
ported to be held by machine com.
pany now In the hands of a receiver
and filed here merely formally because
branch office was formally located
IN Fargo. Another machine company
is charged with 100000 and third
with $2.O0O.000.
If the assessments ordered are
placed on the state tax rolls manda-
mus actions may be started against
the county commissioners to prevent
the assessments from being reported
to the state board of equalization. It
is not probable that the matter will
be ignored in Cass county where some
OF the heaviest interests are at stake.
