Report of Committee on Ways and
Means fer Operating the Belle
fourche Irrigation Project.
To the Honorable Board Of Directors
of the Belle Fonrohe Valley Water
Users Association
The committee on WAYS and means
to operate the project submits the fol
lowing report;
/. We are OF the opinion that the
Water Users Association can operate
and maintain the project with at least
the same efficiency and economy as
has prevailed in the past
2. Using as basis the cost OF OPP
Grafton and maintenance by the United
States for this project we estimate
t1..& ;v The observation-disclosures aF era nOQ "a
will be necessary for this purpose for
the year 1917 and that the association
should be in position to pay out this
amount
g. We are of the opinion that this
amount can be best raised by the is
snance of bonds against the Water
Users Association. We should rec
ommend that bonds be foated TO the
extent of al least 100000, or the
amount necessary to meet expendi
lures until the 1917 assessments be-
come available Also that the same
form of organization should be used
to operate and maintain the project as
has been used in the past and any
changes should not be radical, but
tried out little at time and not
be permanently adopted until found
TO be an improvement.
4. We are opposed to the plan of the
issuance of warrants without having
money on hand to take up the same,
and believe that If 1t is necessary &c
should be in the form of bonds or note
of the association. We further believe
that We will get the greatest efficiency
In labor, material, and supervision by
providing cash for same
5. We recommend that the fiat rate
per acre of irrigable land for opera
ton and maintenance charge be used
instead of the charge per acre foot OF
water as in the year past U915.)
6. We further recommend to the
board of directors that they take such
course as may seem expedent to Sc
cure legislation by congress or action
by the secretary of the interior to pro-
cure the unexpended o. and NJ. funds
IN the allotment for the fiscal year
1917 for operation and maintenance by
tae United States and also The use of
such equipment as they now require
for the operation and maintenance OF
the project
