Santa Ana Judge Holds Fer
reli Is Entitled to Irriga-
ti0n Rights, but Declares
Court Has No Jurisdiction

One Of the most important water
right cases heard recently before the
Imperial county courts was settled to-
day when Judge w. II. Thomas Of
Santa Ana gave his decision in the
case Of c. d. Ferrell against the I'M
perial Irrigation DISQUALIFICATION
which has been closely watched by the
lanchols for more than. year.
Fcrrell, West Side land owner,
in the court contest sought to have
declared invalid the transfer by the
district to No. y water company OF
the West Side main canal and to com
pei delivery Of water for his land
In his decision Judge Thomas
reached the conclusion that the l1ain-
tiff was entitled to water and that
any attempt to compel him to buy
stock in 8 mutual 5ater company in
order to obtain Irrigation lac,u,las was
Illegal.
Holding contrary to the opinion of
a ererater portion of the local legal
fraternity, the court declared that It
had no jurisdiction, on the grounds
that the water company was ,,rblic
utility corporation instead Of mu-
tual municipal corporation. In view
Of this. finding, he holds that the rlain-
tiff can obtain relief only from the
State Railroad Commission.
Immediately on receipt of the de-
cision, Ferrell's attorney, NJ. W
Conkling, announced that he would ap-
peal the case to the state commission
and apply for the rights to when the
court has declared his client is en-
