BOND DRIVE
PREPARED
Irrigation District Soon to
Open Intensive Campaign
For Water Merger
co. CANVASS LOOMS
Official Authorization from
Bond Commission Com
ing Next Tuesday

preparationS for an intensive cam
paign to put over the proposed great
irrigation merger and drainage pro-
gram, requiring a bond issue election
to provide fund estimated at 81 900,
000, were begun today by the Imperial
Irrigation district, Secretary F. II. Me
Iver announced this afternoon.
Petitions calling for the bond elec
tion will be in circulation next weef
for signatures, it was said.
At special meeting of the board OF
directors of the district Tuesday mott
fication will be given the board by
State Engineer Mcclure definitely ap
prising the district officials of the
amount fixed by the State Bond com
mission and authorized to be raised by
special bond election.
1t is considered quite certain that
the Bond commission, of which MIR. Nc
Clure is a member, will act on his rec
ommendation Of $500, 900 and will fix
the amount of the bond total at that
sum.
Immediately following notification
of the amount, the board OF directors
of the Irrigation district will call
meeting of directors of Imperial coun-
tv farm centers. An organization of
bond campaign teams in each township
in The county will be effected, with a
captain in charge of each to comb his
township with petitions for signatures.
A whirlwind five-day drive is
planned, and indications were today
that with such campaign inaugurated
shortly, the bond election can be
called probably for the early part of
May.
Twenty per cent representation OF a
$4s,000,0 600 property valuation in the
irrigated district, as well as between
500 and ! 900 names, must be obtained
to authorize calling of the election, 1t
was explained.
With almost unired support given the
project for absorption and drainage,
the directors feel that success of the
issue is assured.
