One estimate contemplated a DIESEL
engine plant. "a g
$ The estimate was vouched for by
Engineer Cross, who, however said he
was not furnished with exact data on
some points called in question by Gen.
eral Manager A. B. West of the
power company. These could be fur
nished, he suggested. by Ralph Ben
net, consulting engineer of Los An
geles, who was accordingly called.
1t developed through further ques-
tioning by Mr.. West that in making
estimates for the proposed plants,
two considerations had been over
looked or ignored. .t+. ...
One. of these was the uncertainty of
the oil, supply on which they would
depend for fuel--an uncertainty which
recently occasioned the abandonment
of large power plant project at Long
Beach; and the other was the neces-
city of providing large units for the
purpose of taking care of future de-
velopm ants, generally figured at from
20 to rs per cent per wear; and with
out which provision loss of investment
threatens through rapid obsolescence

Mi. Bennett explained that he hat
not been asked by the valley people
to pass upon these matters; or upor

stated chat in his opinion it was ex.

SUITS DEAL WITH
|. DIRECT SUPPLyOF
/ 'WATER-CONK[INC
Attorney Says Wcter Supply
Is insufficient to C0Uer the
Land; Validity of Transfers
of Canals Attacked.

That the suits filed against the I'M
perial Irrigation district and several
mutual water companies yesterday,
are concerned with the direct delivery
of water only, is the statement of M.
w. Conkling, one of the attorneys in
the controversy. "The supply of
water stock in Water Company No. |
is insufficient to cover all the land"
said Mr.. Conklin. "My clients are un-
able to obtain water stock and cannot
irrigate their land We propose to
force the issue so that arrangements
may be made to take care of them"
The complaint attacks the validity
of the transfer of the West Side and
No. main canals from the Imperial
Irrigation district to the mutual
water companies.
DELIVERY DIRECT
In most irrigation districts. wlter
is delivered direct by the district. Due
to the problems involved in the main
tenance of the main canal system and
the levee works, property owners OF
the Imperial Valley made a gentle
mems agreement with the district
when the latter acquired the property
of the California Development Com
pany from the Southern Pacific Corn
pany, that the mutual water companies
Should continue to operate the retail
distributing system. G. R. lockwood
while general manager of the district
evolved plan by which the district
would assume the retail distribution
at a considerable saving of expense
None of his successors have made any
attempt, so far as known, to consider
this problem further. =
REOPENS QUESTION
Recent controversies between the
district and water companies over
water deliveries and inability of the
stockholders definitely to place the
blame for failure Of the district OF
a mutual company to deliver water
promptly when an ample supply il
available at all times have reopenec
the question of the elimination OF th'
mutuals. Advocates of the mutua
system have insisted that some kline
Of organization is necessary and th'
saving in expense would be small
They argue that a big central head
quarters would give most considera
ton to property owners nearby ant
the outlying territory would get littl'
consideration. In rebuttal, the grow
ing expense of maintaining two sep
arate organizations to do the SAM
work is condemned.
,FRICTION ARISES.
Entire satisfaction has not been ex
pressed over the acquisition by th'
mutuals of the main canals through
the valley. Friction has arisen IL
several cases and the divided author
ity and responsibility on the Wes'
Side main and the No. A main thi
spring have caused numerous confer

this includes the payment OF prlnclpai
