LAND OWNERS COMMIT III N
IMPORTANT MEETING PAvES WAY .
FOR GREAT SAN CARLOS PROJ[C1

pe eSllmaleu TO pc the normal flow
of the river, so that no lands not sigh-
ed up in the San Carlos association
would receive any part of the stored
water but would be dependent upon
the normal flow entirely. Needless.tp
say, it is not expected that any land
owner will refuse to sign up his land
and contribute his pro rata share to-
wards the great work the committee
has in hand as what is for the bene-
fit of one is for the benefit of all and
all must work together for the acr
complishment of the desired result
the irrigation Of this entire Valley
1t was decided by the committee
that it would be best to wait fora
short time in order that it might know
the amount of money which would be
at tbs disposal for the work in hand
before announcing a definite plan of
procedure, as the committee expects
to budget the amount received and
each branch of the work and in this
apportion certain parts. thereof 10
manner get the best results.
One of the big things which pre-
sages the success of the undertaking
is to be found in the many assurances
of The whole-hearted and affective as
sistance which have been given to
the committee by neighboring Sec
tions of the state. Not only are the
people of Tucson Phoenix, Mesa ami
other sections of Arizona getting
squarely behind the effort TO secure
the San Carlos but they are pledging
in substantial way their resources
as we'll and it may be truthfully said
that never before in the history of
the Florence-Casa Grande valley has
the outlook for favorable action to-
ward the realization of the hopes and
dreams of the people of this valley
appeared to be so near to fulfillmeit.
Messrs. s. P. Morgan and Paul II.
Hobby have been asked to assist
Banker w. p Clements in Casa
Grand in securing signatures of land
owners. Messrs. Brown and Stew
art, the two members Of the tenn.
porary finance committee at Florence.
will doubtless appoint some Interest,"
ed parties to assist them in securing
members in the Florence community.
All in all, the work is proceeding
rapidly and membership certificates
are being received at the various
banks every day in considerable NUM-
bers and it is believed that at least
by September /, the committee VIII
have sufficient information with re-
gard to the amount of money avail
able to proceed to outline and budget
it's expenditures and begin the active
work of the drive at that time.
Meetings of the committee Will be
arranged with the state water COM
missioner, as we'll as committees ap.
pointed by the Phoenix, Tucson and
Mesa chamber of commerce and with
others and a thorough.going, agrees
sive plan of action determined upon.
The meeting on August IL of all
the land owners in the valley indicat-
ed such an unanimity of opinion and
united backing for the project that
no difficulty is contemplated in sign
ing up all of the land within the in
dicated area. Full and free oppor-
tunity was given to every one at the
meeting to voice any objections or
criticism he or she might have to make
concerning any of the matters pro.
posed or suggested. The vote on ev.
cry question, however, was unani.
nous and evinced united deternlin-
alton to succeed such as has never
before been witnessed at any similar
public gathering. The whole valley
is a unit in the demand for the San
Carlos reservoir and means to get 1t.
Land owners should make haste to
insure the inclusion of their lands
within the association by signing zip
and paying their assessment of SOC
per acre at once.
