Paisley Project Is
Sill An Unsettled One

The desert land board met yester.
day afternoon at O'Clock for the
purpose of passing on the matter of
releasing certain bonds in connection
with the Paisley Irrigation project,
but the governor being unable to at
tend and there being a failure to agree
by the company to some conditions as
prescribed by the board, the matter
was turned over to Attorney General
Brown with Instructions to reach some
agreement with Attorney Wood as
would be mutually satisfactory. At
the same time the question of "who's
who," came up incidentally, owing to
the Public Service commission having
issued some orders in connection with
this project that State Treasurer Kay
thought was an usurpation of the
desert land board 3 prerogatives. He
was perfectly willing, he said to turn
the whole business Of the board over
to the commission, but until this was
done, passed the matter up to the
Attorney General to decide twho is
who and why he is it. !"
