 Washington, Sept. 27, 1917. MT. J. M Thacker, President,
 Yuma County Water Users
 Association, Yuma, Arizona.
 Dear MT. Thacker: It has come to my attention that many of the water users upon the Yuma Project desire to make waterrigbt application under public notice of April 6, 1917, but re- frain from so doing because of the fear that a reduction of the construc- ton charge of SIS will be ordered in the suit brought by your association and now pending, and that they will be precluded from securing the bene- fits of such reduction.
 While the department has no reas- on to believe that construction lower than S75 per irrigable acre can be fixed or will be allowed for lands in the Yuma Project under the public no- tice in question, for the purpose of re- assuring the water users, above refer red to, have to state that if for any reason a lower construction charge is fixed and announced, an equivalent reduction will be made to those who have, prior to that date, filed water right applications at the $75 rate.
 Cordially yours,
 E. c. BRADLEY,
 Acting Secretary.
