Make Public Cut
This Afternoon

Director r. d. McPherrin this
morning insisted that the district
make public at least a tentative
estimate on what the directors be-
lieve can be slashed from the
budget. Mr.. McPherrin insited
that it be given the public today,
and it is probable that late this
afternoon a detailed. statement of
tie board on savings already eff
fected and considered possible
will be made. The general concen-
sus of opinion was that it was in
the neighborhood of 100000. as
this figure has been mentioned be-
fore. General Manager Cronholm
is busy compiling the figures.
The slash will be. the second
slash in the budget, as when it was
accepted it was cut in many
places. A policy of retrenchment
made necessary by recent condi-
tions has forced the board to make
other cuts wherever possible.

SUM ALLISON
SAYS CAN
Be SAVED
Directors Are Inclined to
Believe $5O0,000 Can Be
Saved; Mexican Interests
Offer to Pay Higher
Water Rental.

Presentation Of letter signed
by Chester Allison acting for the
Imperial Development Company
and the Colorado Land & Cattle
Company in Lower California, to
the board of directors of the Inn
pcrial Irrigation District this
morning Offering to voluntarily
raise the water rental from 81
cents to $l.66 per acre foot in
Baja California, contingent upon
the district making cuts in the
budget to the amount of tenta-
tive estimate of $l,00O,OO0 and
adopting policy Of retrench-
ment, to be approved By the mu-
tual advisory board and the conf
panies, precipitated one Of the
warmest discussions in months.
At the conclusion of the confer
CncG it appeared that the district
and the land interests below the
limo were nearer cooperation
than they have ever been.
Mr.. Allison's letter to the board
signed by himself acting as spokes
man for the two large land companies
opened with the inclusion of a reso
luton of the mutual advisory boar'
that water rentals should be adjust
ed on more equitable basis. In con
clusion he presented an outline, sug
gesting that the district make cut
to the extent of $1,000,000, to be ap
proved by himself and the mutua
companies, and if this was done thu
water rental below the line would b
voluntarily raised.
The first result of the discussion
which followed was to bring to ligh
that the district has ordered Genera
Manager Chonholm to go over tn
budget and make every possible cut
1t was intimated that some $5O0,O0'
can be saved by the process of de
ferring expenditures. This woul
leave it as surplus for next year.
President Nickerson in outlining hi
stand to Nh. Allison stated that III
was in favor of land tax below tn
line and not in favor OF raising tn
water rental. He also stated that tn
district by law was forced to dea
with the Mexican government ant
not with the owners of the land.
Director Mark Rose immediatel.
opposed the letter, seemingly on gen
eral principles, and went on record a
being opposed to the plan. He sal
that he believed the letter would b
acceptable in that it can be used il

lison replied that that was what
was for.
