THREATEN SUIT
 ID GET WATER
 IN 'DRY LANDS
Demand for One Acre Foot
 In April Denied By Board
 of Governors Because Supply In Reservoir Low

No water from the Roosevelt dam is to be apportioned to the dry lands within the Salt River valley project during the month of April according to a decision of the board of governors of the Water Users at a meeting yes terday.
 This action followed a request ny the owners of some 16,0O0 acres of so- called dry lands.'' representatives of whom were present at the meeting, that the association grant them one acre foot of water per acre during April to enable them to place their lands in cultivation.
 Judge Richard F. Sloan. counsel for the "dry land" owners. notified the board of governors that should they refuse to grant the demand, suit would be started against the association. The present low state of water in the reservoir at the beginning of the irrl- gating season and the further fact that the present contents had been appCr- toned to the owners of land with per manent water rights caused the board l of governors to decline the request of the "dry land" owners. stating that l they should wait until it is known whether there is to be sufficient moisture to fill up the reservoir to the required depth to permit of this ad- 1 ditional distribution of water Plenty of Snow on Watershed Judge Sloan for the dry land" own CTS insisted that conditions warranted 1 the appCrtionment of this water to his 1 clients; that there was sufficient snow on the mountains to fill up the reser- voir and that the dry land' owners were entitled to the water.
 That the dry land" owners had placed in cultivation but one-half of their land this season in order not to make unreasonable demands upon the Water Users. was the statement of J J. Phillips for the dry land" men. He declared that 10000 acre feet would be sufficient
 w. R. Elliott. general superintendent of the Water Users. told the board that while there had been more snow on the watershed this year than any yea1 since the project was started. there had been scarcely any run-off into the res ervoir on account of the cold weather The snow still remained on the noun tains. Present conditions are unpre- cedented, he stated. and he intends tc make a survey of the snow on tho watershed 10 gather information fol future use.
 Although denied water from the res ervoir, the dry land" owners have tho right to waste and flood water.

NEW BANK AND SCHOOL COMING ID CHANDLER

CHANDLER. March 17-Chandler is to have new $125,000 combination high and grade school. So said the voters when on Saturday last by a vote of 94 to 9, the decision was made.
 For the past two years the patrons of the school and the population gen erally have recognized the fact that the present step would soon become necessary. So rapid has been the growth of the population in and around Chandler that the residents who had been there longest were not prepared for the great influx of pop ulation, and at first thought they had school room sufficient for a number of years. The crowded condition of the buildings has shown this to be an error, and the town took steps at the Saturday election to vote the required bonds.
