Neglected Canal Suffers AS
Increased Water Is Turned
In---The Drought Increases
Daily

Here is an interesting comment: The Imperial VAL
ley Bankers association acting with the mutual water
companies at the request of the latter asked the directors
Of the irrigation district to resign The Solid Three Of
the board refused to comply and their organ this
ing interprets their refusal in these words
"To blindly hand over affairs to absolutely un-
known cotee Of who only known for their oppo
son everything that the officials of the district have
done planned is obvious mpossibity if the
directors consider their oath of office"
The which is decidedly striking in the originality Of
thought though it may be rather rough on the
tual companies of all the farmers in the val
ey-and the bankers Of the valley.
But the full beauty of the thought is only apparent
when is recalled that the directors calling the
Los Angeles bankers to board Of engineers who
expected to have full authority to formulate ir
cation policy for the valley and that the dominating force
among the Los Angeles banks is the group of capt.
taists who own the million of lana the in
ernationa ne in whose behalf the district management
is at present bending its whole energy.
The valley farmers and bankers may be "an unknown
coerie of men, but submit that they to be pre-
fered above turning the district affairs to the Mex
lean land owners.
Water Decreasing.
Once today there decrease in the volume
of water distributed through the valley No. having $50
second feet against yesterday and 700 the day before
and with normal demand Of 1900 second feet and yet
there is the usual amount OF drlve in the organ OF the
district managers this morning to the effect that there
IS an abundance of and damage of consequence
is resulting.
The present water delivery in the valley is about half
normal demand and there nothing to indicate that
there is to be immediate improvement The river has
been above 20 feet for several days and last night had
aen 198 If the district could not get in water with
such high river it is impossible what it do
rom this time And even when normal water supply
is restored it will require least three weeks to catch
up with orders.

Constructive Criticism.
Under this head the Calexco Chronicle pays lhe
Press rather neat comment, and comments follows
"No matter whether right or wrong Editor Howe, of
the Ell Centro Press is interesting writer when he
starts anything All will give him credit for that
when damning him for his disposition which makes him
weeks he has been condemnng the officials of the rr
cation district in such violent that many people
have been believing that things grossly wrong with
the board and its engineer
"For the sake of argument, or to avoid argument
rather let suppose that the present board had
existence and that Engineer lockwood and Attorney
Conklng had places with the district Let be
imagined that board had been chosen few years ago
with of the weaknesses alleged weaknesses, of
the present district management.
Now will the Press please tell the people of Imperial
Valley what the board should have done to have
ed shortage of water this year? This is very inter-
sng question and that doubt the Press perfect
~ capable Of answering. Also what should they be doing
to take of the future demands for water this val
ley?
"The Press is ripsnorter for hindsight-how about
foresight?
by the Press, but there number of people asking
them now it is possible that in the hurry buly of the
past few weeks they have been forgotten and the Chron
ce asks that the Press take this opportunity of showing
its wisdom again. if it has done before.
And please don't lose sight of the question as to what
could have been done to prevent this years shortage"
The Press is willing to concede the propriety of the
demand that critics of the district shall be able to TELL in
degree of accuracy what should have been the pol
icy of the district to have prevented water shortage
this year.
Moreover, the Press comedies as everybody has
known for year. that only strenuous efforts directed
properly, could have prevented water shortage Pos
sibly no efforts could have wholly prevented it.
