the Southern Pacific's entire interest

company. This was voted when the
district was first organized
The second issue was for S2,50O,OO,
voted for the purpose of doing an en-
ormous amount of work at the head
ing and for the extension of the levee
system in Mexico. Out of this issue
the lockwood cement gate was built,
several dredges purchased and much
permanent improvement work done
on the Alamo chanrel.
The third issue, also for $2,500,O0O,
was voted in October of this year to
provide money for the purchase of
needed equipment, the absorption of
outstanding warrants and the provi-
sion for next years work on the river.
Therefore the total bonded in
dehtedness Of the district is $S,-
100000. This makes the bonded
debt per acre about $13.

farmer had to pay for the sup

Imperial Valley press., 1919-12-01

Few people understand the fact
that the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict is the largest irrigation pro-
ject in the United States, either
privately or publicly operated.
The district at present con-
tains GO3,840 acres of land, every
acre of which is or can be made
productive. No waste land.
When available additional land
is brought under water the total
acreage will exceed one million.
These new lands lie to the east,
north and west of the present
boundaries.
In Mexico, to the south, more
than 100000 acres more must be
counted in the productive area,
although, Of course, not within the
boundaries of the district.
The district is municipal corpora
tion, formed under the laws Of Cali
fornia. 1t has taxing powers, the sam,
as a city. A board of five elected di
rectors manage it's affairs. A set o
officials similar to a city, such as as
SCISSOR, tax collector, treasurer, clerk
etc, do the administrative work. TIL
chief engineer carries out the plan
settled upon by the board.
The sole duty of the district is
deliver sufficient supply of water
to the mutual companies to irri-
gate the crops of the valley. This

transfer of the property, had laws
passed by the Legislature to fit cer-
tain necessities and also made several
trips to Washington to obtain results
for the district.
Shortly after organization the board
called C. r. lockwood to act as &,
engineer and under his experienced di-
rection practically all the physical im-
provements of the system were made

make use of the flood waters behind

through Mexican territory. The
diversion works are on the west
banks Of the Colorado, mile
above the boundary line. Great
cement gates admit the water in
quantities to fit the orders frcm
the mutual companies. The water
is taken through the Alamo chan
mel, greatly improved by dredg-
ing, to Sharp's heading, where
five canals diverge and carry wa
ter to ali parts of the valley. The
entire supply is carried by grav-
ity- The canals can carry as
much as 1905 cubic feet per Sec
ond, which is a magnificent
plenty for all the land in the dis
trict.
