ROSE. TELLS
DETAILS Of
MCPHERR|N
WARRANT
Says Irrig. District Board
Innocent of Any Breach of
Faith and Knew Nothing
About McPherrin Trans
action Until Long After 1t
Happened

Protest against the recent attack
by certain valley newspapers against
the board of directors on account oil
the alleged breach of faith of one
member of the board, was voiced today
by Mark Rose when he said, "the facts
in the case were absolutely not being
published and that the other members
Of tn board were as innocent. of wrong
doing as the public"
,"Upon completion of the Davis re-
port, which was called for under the
Kincaid bill and which the district had
contributed $4,000 to, the directorate
called hearing Of the various inter-
ests who@ had contributed funds for
securing the necessary data together
with the city of Los Angeles to be
held in Washington, ID C.
"This meeting was called for the
purpose of offering any suggestions or
amendments to the Davis report prior
to it's being sent to the department OF
the. interior.
''Realizing the necessity of having
the board of the Imperial Irrigation
District represented at. that meeting,
Director Roy McPherin was delegated
to attend the confeenc.
"An allowance of $50 per day and
railroad fare was voted for Mr.. Nc
Pherrin with the understanding that
all personal expenses were to be paid
out of this fund.
"Mr .McPherrin made the trip and
rendered a report to the board OF di-
rectors upon his return. He thereafter
filed a demand for $1,000 which was
passed by the board. 1t developed
later. that he had previously received
from the treasury of the distric. $4,000
out of the Mexican company funds
and that he had drawn the sum OF
$324.9O from the petty cash account
for railroad fare.
According to officials of the dis
trict it has been common practice to
take advances from the Mexican fund
to defray expenses of representatives
of the district sent to various meet
ings, and upon their return to file a
statement Of their expenses and have
warrant drawn in their favor for
the sum, then to reimburse the treas
ury for any amount previously ad-
vanced them.
."The only thing irregular in the
McPherrin deal was the fact tina. he
did not reimburse the. treasury fol-
the $4,000 which had been advanced tc
him, until some time later when the
matter came before the attention OF
the board and McPherrin's attention
was called to it,"
