d tlozen men will handle the work.

USE THE WATER
BUT DON'T WASTE III

We find that most water users in
side the Nampa & Meridian Irriga-
tion District are making good use oil
the water furnished them for irriga-
tion purposes while others are not, in
fact we find some users of Govern
ment water who are wilfuIly waste
ing their supply by allowing it to run
Into creek, swale or public high
way. Water is plentiful this season,
and a certain amount of waste water
is exeusable at all times. but there
can certainly be no excuse for a user
asking ditch rider for water and
then allowing this water to become
an injury to- others and of no use to
himself.
There seems TO be some misunder-
standing amoung the users of the
District regarding the method of coll
lecting Operation and Maintenance
taxes. Some are of the belief that
the delivery of water to Government
water users does not affect the OPP
Grafton and Maintenance tax. We will
|endeavor to explain this matter All
government water used inside the
Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District
during 1921 will be paid for by the
District at the rate of soc per acre
foot for deliveries prior to July 1st
and at Toe per acre foot for deliver
les after July 1st, and the total will
be spread over the 10000 acres with
government water rights at flat rate
per acre.
You will understand that the OPP
Grafton and maintenance rate per
acre will be considerable higher il
the district must pay the United
States for acre feet per acre than II
only acre feet per acre are paid for
The Operation and Maintenance
taxes on Ridenbaugh water rights in.
/ side the District are levied at q flat
rate per miners incn on about
600 acres and the rate does not
depend upon the delivery of water
but rather upon the. general main.
Itenance expenses. Ridenbaugh water
rights come from the natural flow oi
the Boise river. .....
We wish to urge upon all oul
water users to make the very best
use of the water at all times, espec
tally Government rights. where tht
cost to the users depends as mucf
upon the amount of water used anl
when the water is not needed w
ask that the same be ordered off
lso that the supply ordered by thu
District from the Government feeders
may be diminished.
