Under the contract, the government

ments for two years land the install
ments don't start until December 1st
of the year following the year in
which the dam is completed, and then
is only per cent? is they will shut
off your water until you pay up. The
government places no liens on your
lands, affects no equities Instead,
the government simply requires you
to pay your assessments in order TO
get the amount of water you are en-
titled TO. No pay, no water. Perhaps
this feature Of the contract is Mr.
Spratt's reason for his opposition. II
is a well known fact that for many
years ne nefused to pay his assess
rents and only did so finally to save
his lands from being sold for taxes.
He evidently sees no way under the
government contract of shifting the
burden Of expense to the shoulders of
those less able to pay, and still reap
the benefits, as ne did for many years
when the district was hard pushed
for funds. Isn't it strange that Mr..
Spratt is so solicitous all at once for
US poor people?
The present water system is like an
old shoe; we are keeping 1t patched
and rnended, but the time is near
when there viii have to be some
heavy requirements, and we can't DO
very much replacing when out of
81 assessment we can only pay less
than half Of It. The diversion dam
has settled on one side and in the
middle until the wooden horse and
board extensions are not high enough /
to give US the required amount of wa
ter. Men who have examined it say /
they do not believe there is a whole
timber in the old crib. We have every
reason to believe that work viii start
on the Black Canyon dam within the
next u months and we viii get ne
lief in 1928. Until then every effort
viii be made to hold the old dam and
fumes by repairs. But if any ex-
Densive improvements are required
he funds will have to be raised by
guarantors, as was done the
asst time. If a calamity like this
comes, will Mr.. Spratt's solicitude
'or the settlers extend so far as to
induce him to be one of the guaran-
ors Che has always refused in the
,asti, or will the men like V. T. Craig,
}. H. VanDeusen and others whom he
.harges with doing injurious things
o the settlers, have to carry the load,
IS they have done in the past! II

plenty to puzzle over in that. Why had
Betty needed nurse last summer when
