ments Of Payette Boise

Farmers who Joined the Payette Wa
Ter Users association. entered a
contract to pay the assessments levied
by the association and are obligated
to do 80, according to an opinion hand
ed down by Judge Reddoch Tuesday
afternoon, in ruling upon demurrer.
The case brought to test the validity
Of the assessments was one in which
ID. II. Hubbard was made defendant.
The plaintiff association sued upon
two theories. the first being that the
stochholder must pay his assessment
under his statutory liability incident
TO ownership Of. shares The second
cause was based upon a contract being
an agreement to pay assessments.
Judge Reddoch oyerruled the first
cause OF action but held with the plain
tiff on the second, passing upon the
question Of the contract entered into
being an obligation to pay upon the
part OF the settler. This is the first
time this question has been passed
upon dealing with irrigation associa-
lions and affects some 2500 members
OF the association In the Boise and
poyette valleys besides thousands of
others on projects elsewhere in the
west.
In passing upon the second cause of
acton, the court held in part as fol-
