 WATER USERS
Members Are to Decide Tuesday Whether Associ- ation Shall Engage ill Drainage Work; Where They Will Vote

flcerS for the association Tuesday, | April l. The amendment to the ar ticles of incorporation of the organiza- ton, which has caused a great deal of dlstrust in the minds of some ot the water users in the valley who per | haps do not thoroughly understand all the features of it, is as follows:
 'To construct, install, operate and maintain pumps, ditches. conduits. and other drainage works for draining any or all of the land received through the irrigation works of the association.
 Secretary Charles Van der Neer of the association yesterday stated that the passage of the amendment will entail no added levy on the share holders of the organization this year, a the present years budget already has been made out. Such expenditures that may be necessary, he declared will be made from the money already levied. The shareholders of the asso citation recently voted that the organ ization spend no more than S100,000 this year, and it is now impossible for the association to exceed this figure without the consent of the stock , holders.
