Nampa, Ida,-Emphatic disapprov-
al Monday afternoon against the re
cent ruling of the department of the
interior that surplus water in the
Boise-Payette project be used outside

other districts within the project were

ing stated was filed to establish the

stood wherein so per cent of the stor-
age water that they thought was to
be directed to points outside the Boise

1t was repeated ting and time
again a. the meeting that what tn
people should do is, as soon as n
found what the actual cost of y
Arrowrock dam is, to pay this t0tal
cost and then have the whole water
supply from that source. The cosr
will be close TO present estimates OF
$40 or $50 per acre. "
Other Involved Points.
Criticism was also voiced against
the plan to assess all lands equally
for water regardless Of how missb
water they used. 1t was cited that r
some sections two acre feet VET
sufficient to mature crop while IN
other sandy sections as much as five
acre feet were required and yet as II
now stands land owners in each Sec
ton would pay the same cost for
their water right.

dian and their attorney.
The sense of the meeting was that
every acre of ground within the varf-
Gus districts under the Boise Payette
project should be guaranteed suffi-
Gent water to meet their full needs
before any waters should be turned
over to projects now being developed
or projects that are not connected
with the Boise project.
The department ruling was to the
effect that from the total waters
from the Arrowrock dam, so per cent
should go to the Boise Payette project
and the remaining half to be divided
among the Nampa- Meridian, Pioneer,
Farmers Union, and various other
districts. The water users under
these districts demand the surplus
waters from the Boise-Payette prof.
ect be turned over to the other dis
triets bearing proportionate cost OF
the construction rather than allow
it to go outside the project while they
are in dire need of more water TO
grow a; full crop.
