To the Shareholders:
1t is customary for your Secretary
to review briefly the work Of the Ex-
ecutive Offices OF the Association dur
ing the year, and in conformity with
this custom. / be gto submit the fol
lowing statement:
The first question OF importance
with which your officers we're coniron-
ted during the past year, was the prop
er disposition of the expense In TaA-
nection with replacing the paving On
the face of the storage dam. As most
of you are probably aware the share
holders or waterusers receiving wa
ter at the present time were request
ed to execute supplemental contracts
to take care of this expense, and some
of the waterusers signed those con-
tracts, but so far less than the ma
jority were inclined to assume this adj
ditional charge The Department has
made no definite disposition Of the
matter as yet, so far as we are adyis
ed but your Board OF Directors at
their May 28th meeting adopted unan-
imously the following resolution with
reference thereto:

Resolution
Adopted May 82th, 1917.

ADOPTED May oZtns 1917
WHEREAS, 1t was found that the
facing of the storage dam was de-
fective and not adequate to with
stand the wave action to which 1t is
subjected, and in order to protect
the structure itself and insure 1T
stability, it was imperative that o.,
immediate expenditure be made there
on OF approximately $4,000; and
WHEREAS, the waterusers are now
requested by the Reclamation Service
to assume the burden OF this expense
by way of supplemental contract
under the provisions of the Recla-
nation Extension Act, or face the al
ternative proposition Of having to pay
it as an Operation and Maintenance
charges; and
WHEREAS, this incident presents
the question, as to whether the water
users are entitled to q completion Of
the irrigation works in a substantial
and workmanlike manner and ade-
quate for the purposes contemplated
In the contract now in force between
the Secretary OF the Interior and the
Water Users Association, and at the
cost price announced by the Secre-
tary of the Interior and incorporated
In the individual warer-right appli-
cations, or, IL the works are incom-
plete and prove .ietoctive, the water
users shall be called upon to assume
the additional burden OF completing
or replacing them; and
WHEREAS, this Association has
repeatedly demonstrated with the
Department of the Interior against
the Official reports of the Reclamation
Service that said structure was COM
lplete;
| NOW THEREFORE,, BE 1T RE
SOLVED by the Board Of Directors
Of the Belle Fourche Valley Water
Users Association. in regular session
duly assembled,
First-That it is the opinion OF
this Board, that the cost Of replacing
the defective facing is not properly
an Operation and Maintenance charge
and the burden should not be borne
by those only who are subject to tht
lOperation and Maintenance charge
for a particular year; but, if It il
a just charge at all. it should be {
charge against every irrigable acre
under the project
Second-That because Of the i'm
portance of this question, and alst
because Of the fact that no increast
in the construction charge can b
made, except in the manner provided
in the Reclamation Extension Act, I
lis the sense of this Board that thu
question Of assuming this additiona
burden be properly ana regularly Cub
mitted to a vote of the waterusers
and. as the Water Users Association
and its Bylaws governing elections
HdFc sbccn ISSOEHlLCu anu app osS'
by the Department OF the Interior
that the matter be submitted at th'
next regular election.
Third-That we deem the action 0
the Reclamation Commission in sub
hitting written forms Of contracts Il
the inAiy!dnel waterusers as highi,
improper and irregular. and warn ou
ws.arnsers against entering into con
tracts which may result in their owl
embarrassment as well as that. o

COST TO Be OFFICER
IN Army INCREASED
Equipment Price More Than Dou-
bled Since War Was Declared.

Eighteen hundred young men who
will soon be designated for appoint
ment as second lieutenants in the
regular army. and virtually all the
students at Fort Myer. and at similar
training camps. who hope to be listed
among the lucky 1900 to receive COM
missions in the national army, are
viewing with grave concern the high
cost of being an officer.
Prices, for the bare essentials, have
taken a tremendous jump since the
declaration OF war. Previous to April
s an officer of the United States
army could plan TO get outftted for
from s135 to $50. Now it costs S259. 80
to $3.50, according to a well-known
outfitter to army officers, even il the
very lowest prices are quoted. His

Erect 20 BUILDINGS
FOR ARMY HOSPITAL
Walter Reed Institution Quadrupled
in Size for War Need.

The Walter Reed Army Hospital,
on Georgia avenue. is being quad
rupled in size by the construction of
temporary wooden buildings, which
will increase the number of beds in
the hospital from $50 to 1000
Approximately twenty additional
wooden buildings are being added to
the hospital. The ward buildings,
which are "a by $50 feet in dimension,
will raise the number of beds at the
hospital from $50 to 1000. The last
named figure is the number of beds
which will be placed in each Of the
hospitals at the sixteen cantonments
of the new national army.
The buildings at the Walter Reed
Hospital are of the same general type
as those at the cantonments. They
are of wood, but are lined with bea-
ver-board so as to be suitable for
winter quarters. They have all san
itary conveniences. In addition to
the ward buildings, there are cottages
for the nurses. barracks for the Or
derlies, a receiving ward and store
house.
When asked why 1t had been found
necessary to increase the number of
beds at the Walter Reed Hospital,
Col. Glennan. of the surgeon general s
office, replied that whereas we were
formerly dealing with an army Of
2.O00 or 5000 men, We are about to
deal with an army of 100000 men.
For this reason hospital facilities
must be expanded. to meet the needs
of the larger army.
Col. Glennan also stated that the
more serious cases from Fort Myer
and other camps in the vicinity of
Washington are now being treated at
the Walter Reed Hospital

that these men receive the pay Of
their grades while in training. this
was unfair to them. Reserve oficers
