heavy stockholders of the Twin Fails
Waterworks company, met by agree
ment with the mayor and city council
to thresh over the matters in argu-
ment concerning the waterworks sys-
tenn. The meeting was in compliance
with the suggestion of the public ut,l.
tiles commission about an agreement
to sell the plant to the city Mr.
.Critchlow appeared to be very willing
to discuss the matter and in the course
of the discussion made several state
ments which were bourne out in the
city records.
According to Mr. Critchlow all of his
propositions to the city administra-
ton in the past were not only re-
jected but for the most part ignored
Letters not being answered at times
He stated that he was willing to
meet the city more than half way in
any settlement. He further stated chat
two years ago at the time OF the
trouble over the leaky mains under the
paving that his company offered to
abandon all mains under the paving,
put in steel or iron pipes through the
alleys in the paving district and to
stand ready to put down iron pipes in
any new paving district Fourteen
months was the time asked in which to
make the change. He says this was
refused by the last administration.
Mr.. Critchlow also expressed his
willingness to repair all damage to
the paving and stated that this offer
had been turned over to the street
committee and there died
With regard to selling to the city
the Salt Lake attorney stated that
within ten days he would submit for
the approval of the city council three
different propositions as to selling
price. One for all cash, another for
bonds in lieu of cash and the third on
a different bond basis.
Mr.. Critchlow, while refusing to di-
vulge the names, said that negotia-
tions had been opened with his COM
pany by Twin Falls citizens, who
claimed they could get better price
for the plant from the city than could
the company dealing direct. He was
told by the council that any negotia-
tion henceforth would be direct with
the city and that no third party would
be considered

Canal Company Gives Reason
for Refusing Water Rights
COMPANY CLAIMS TO HAVE SOLD
ALL IT'S ALLOTMENTS
Purchasers of State Land Ask Su.
preme Court to Compel the Deliy-
cry of Water

On writ of mandamus the supreme
court heard arguments Thursday in
the case of the state and R. T. Weaver
against the Twin Falls Canal COM
pany. The contention was made by
the plaintiffs that the case is identical
with the suit of H. T. West, which was
passed on by the supreme court of the
United States, while the canal COM
pany avered that new issues had been
raised in its argument
The writ was alternative, issued by
the supreme court to compel the canal
company to sell stock, which would
mean water rights, to Weaver and
several other land owners named with
him as plaintiffs They are owners of
state lands under the canal company's
irrigation system.
When the Twin Falls South Side
project was organized it was finally
made to include two hundred and for
ty thousand acres, some of which was
state land. 1t has right to three thou
sand second feet of water In Snake
river. The company was organized on
basis of a share of stock per acre,
each so acres to be given one second
foot of water.
Refused Water Rights.
After it had disposed Of water
rights for one hundred and eighty
seven thousand acres the company
took the position that its supply of
water was exhausted and refused to
sell water for state lands.
In 1911, H. T. West, an owner Of
state land, brought suit against the
company, asking for a writ of man.
date to compel the company to sell
him water, and the supreme court
granted the writ permanently. The
canal company took the case to the
supreme court of the United States.
That court held that it was for the
state courts to interpret Vests con-
tract and dismissed the case for lack
of Jurisdiction.
The company then sold water to
West, but refused II to other holders
of state lands. The Weaver suit was
therefore commenced.
No Water to Sell.
Arthur NJ Bowen appeared for the
canal company. He made the con-
tention that the company has no more
water to sell the principal feature Of
his argument, and declared that in the
West suit that point had not been suffi-
GENTLY presented and had not been
properly passed upon by the supreme
court in interpreting the West con-
tract.
Captain Davis, assistant attorney
general, represented the state and the
owners of state lands. He argued that
the entire question had been settled
by, the supreme court and the supreme
court of the United States when it
passed on the West case.
A number of the stockholders in the
company have started still another ac-
ftion along the same line as the Weav-
er case. They have brought suit in
the district court for Twin Falls coun-
ty. asking an Injunction to prevent the
company from selling any water for
state lands George Herriott ap-
peared for them. S. H. Hays made an
argument as friend of the court
