Drowning the Land

hereabout using too much water is which Is
worth close consideration He says in effect that many
farmers drowning their land, using almost ten
feet Of water The record he states shows nine and fac
ton feet the average taken from the Elephant
Butte dam last year.
This statement is news of an important kind. If the
farmers using that much wateT-and engineer Hills
figures scarcely dispuabe-no wonder parts of the
valley nearly drowned out. Nine feet year is
three times much water any crops require the land

suggestion does the farmers to reduce their
consumption good for the crops and
the land the remedy is to charge them by the
foot making the price for the first feet very
reasonable but charging very much more for every add

That system has been tried in other irrigation projects

HIGHWAY COMMISSION HANDICAPPED

The Cochise County Highway Commission met in
BiSbee yesterday at ten O'Clock and for nearly three
hours traShcd the problem of whether Cochsc
" will get any roads built under the million dollar bond
issue now. or not until after the war.
After thorough investigation of the all-abSorhing
topic. and with legal advice the angle of most
cumbersome road law that is surrounded by red tape
nike it costly to operate under. the Commission fin
ally decided try more and consequently Sep
TENDER II as the final show down for the matter.
Up to the present time the Commission has been
seriously handicapped by the lack of funds. and at
this time only half of the bonds sold but the work
sion and surveying and continuous efforts to let contracts
for the BSbeeDougas grading and draining. and far
only the grading of Section Three from Douglas to For
rest. has been let.
from November until March seriously handicapped the
Commission in getting bids which might have saved
thousands of dollars but red tape and lack Of money
alone responsible for that condition.
On September IA the Commission will call for bids
for the paving of the road from Bsbee Douglas and
the grading of Sections One and Two and the draining
of the entire distance They will also call for bids
Section of the Tombstone Benson road. which is
from Tombstone Curtis Flat.
The Commission. in addition to work done up the
present has also let the contract for widening the paw
ing between Bisbee and Lowell through johnson Addi
ton which being done. If the grading contract
is let for the Bsbee-Dougas stretch. the paving it
will not be done until spring the road must
be given time settle before will be safe lay the
paving. If Unsuitable bids not received the work
will be left until after the and only the present grad
ing contract completed
Under this law. if bid for the drain
ing of Section Three the road would have to be left alone
and subject to floods and the Commission powerless to
itself and its road bed because they cannot under
this absurd law do it by day labor and force account Is
practically dead issue under the Highway Commission
law.
The best of legal advice is what the Commission is
working under and single step taken without such
advice.
