year for fleas about houses. The time

I'VE are now trying to secure the
money to take care of the construction
expenditures for 1920 and 1921, and
have been informed by investors in

ey has to be secured that as long as
our losses on our irrigation business
are increasing each year. it is not adj
visable for us to continue with this
business. and that. before we can Sc
cure additional funds for this type of
construction work, we must have rates
for irrigation pumping that will pro-
vide that our irrigation customers pay
one dollar each year for each dollar
that we spend that year on their SER
vice.
During 1919 we received 1914

ton on the investment used only by
our irrigation customers. In other
words. for each dollar that we spent
during the year 1919 on irrigation bus-
mess, our irrigation customers paid us
60 cents.
THIS YEAR WORSE
with the increased construction
costs, the condition in 1920 and 1921
will be worse. As near as we can es-
innate, if the present rates continue
our irrigation customers will pay us
57ia cents in 1920 for each dollar that
we spend for them, and 56la cents in
1921.
