EXPLANATORY LETTERS RELATING TO COSTS

The appended letters will in measure, show my read CTS that the costs Yuma Project now in process ot be-

 have urged on him. it is than likely that we may look for the official within the coming few weeks
 have urged that is very nopporune time tor these costs to be announced because our most strenuous protests Imperial Valley has been given the right to erect another dam at Hanlon Heading If the costs are fixed now and they should be $5 $40 acre. and right on the heels of that the dam should be built and this should cause our valley lands overflow there will be just ndg nation on the part of every land in the valley They will fight the costs the bitter end the leaders in the valley inform me whereas if the held back until it is seen that the dam built that no damage occurs from it's construction the farmers of the valley would be in much better humor have their costs fixed than they will otherwise be- However, the Reclamation Commission and Secretary Lane the doctors They have been told frankly of the situation here and in their judgment now is the time fix the costs why there nothing else to do but accept the edc and do the best provided always that the costs are within the bounds of and fairness to all interests concerned Otherwise there will likely be howl that will stop this side of he Halls of Congress But here are the ettersread them carefully and then form your conclusion, just as have formed mine:

YUMA ON HER FIRST REAL BOOM.

Yuma has been asleep the bank of the Colorado river for many years during most of which time she only awakened when the Southern Pacific used the whstng station stopped passenger train in the stock yards wedged in between cattle trains which the passengers would howl loudly that the sleepy old Yuma SquawS would awaken and at once proceed make more Indian beed work
 But it's different now Yuma has awakened; not only the city of Yuma but Yuma Project and Yuma county In fact for the first time in the history of Yuma perceptble booming up about Parker Wenden, Quartzsite, Mohawk Globe and in fact all the mining section Tons upon tons of precious metals being the smeters every day. and thousands upon thousands of dollars being placed banks the credit of the who have dared dig into the bowels of mother earth for their fortunes

and adequate water supply.


 The items of flood protective work which include the purchase of equipment raising and repairing of the evees etc. will further the safety of the valley from river flood Our levee system, though fully complete is ade quate for present needs fully maintained The prov sion for this maintenance provided for in your engineers estimates, seem to to be wisely distributed
 The other minor items of expense, which include largely the construction and replacement of waseways and sluceways all designated to improve the water service the and reduce the maintenance cost which in turn reduces taxation At present the system inadequate provided with the necessary waSteWays to properly han de the large vaumes of water necessary the operating of system where rotation practced and where the suc ing of ss from the canals necessary The further vesgaton of the silt problems being carried should aid in locating and designing the sluceways proposed obtain maximum results the money be expended for this purpose will be returned many times in the saving which will follow.
 AS taxpayer, feel that the proposed bond issue is step the end of the difficulties which have hereafore encountered in properly serving the rapidly creasng domain under canal system. From what perence have had in operating the Imperial Valley canal system under the receiver it is my judgment that the pu poses for which engineers propose expend this money all wisely chosen for the betermen of the sys tenn, and heartily endorse the proposed bond issue
 Very truly yours,
