The Lodi promotion committee work ing upon the formation of the Wood bridge irrigation system has reached the goal of its expectations, which was the securing of signatures to 15,OOO acres to be included in the new dis trict.
 With the average now gained the bond on the land will amount to $20 per acre, which will raise $3O0,00O. It is the intention not to commence pay ing off the principal of this bond for ten or twenty years, the exact time to be decided by the landowners later. The interest on this money will amount to $1.2Q per acre per annum and allow ing $7500 per year for maintenance, will make an additional tax of 50 cents per acre, or $1.70 per acre, that the farmers will have to pay for the next ten or twenty years, as the case may be- After that it will be trifle more for while until the principal is cut down. This will make the cheapest irrigation in the State.
