Gus meeting of Boise project water
users here early in January, thought
last week to have been assured, have
gone glimmering again and it is now
evident that both the regular" and
the 'insurgent' factions will hold dis
tinct annual meetings, two boards of
directors will be elected and the situa-
ton as it exists today will continue
for another year.
The "insurgent" meeting, called to
meet at the city hall, will be allowed
to go ahead with its program despite
the fact that there was talk short
time ago OF seeking a court order to
prevent the gathering. Such an in
junction will not be sought. it is now
asserted
Complications which will result in
two meetings are the net result of the
annual meeting call sent out by the
regular" board, it is said. One clause
of that call is alleged to be vague in
that it says stockholders "of good
standing" will be admitted to the meet
ing. Despite the fact that officers of
the regular" board have specifically
announced through the press that no
restrictions would this year be placed
on admission to the meeting. a hoax
is feared. The fact that the call an
nounces that the present board of
directors will select tellers is also
meeting with objection, the conten-
ton being that telIers should be nam
ed at the meeting.
Fred Harrington, president OF the
regular board. has issued the fol-
lowing announcement concerning the
forthcoming gathering:
"The annual stockholders meeting
OF the Payette- Boise Water Users as
sociation that is to be held at the
American theatre on January II and
called by the regular board OF direc-
tors, will be one of the most nmpor-
tant stockholders meetings. in the his
tory of the association.
I'VE want to call your attention to
the very greatest importance OF full
attendance OF the stockholders in per-
son. The board has decided to admit
all stockholders to this meeting re-
gardless Of their standing in the asso-
citation. The pending settlement of
the financial affairs OF the settlers will
be before the meeting for discussion
and all phases OF the settlement, in
cluding that of power at Arrowrock
and elsewhere on the project. will be
discussed.
Meeting Important
'l'The importance Of this meeting is
so great that il is urged upon all
land owners to be present in person
and to let nothing that can be avoided
keep you away. But should you be
unable to attend in person, give your
proxy to someone who will vote it as
you direct.
Eve note with grave concern the
attempts OF the insurgents further to
interfere, by calling meeting Tor the
same date, with favorable settle
ment. Notwithstanding the fact that
at the mass meeting recently held. IT
was unanimously voted that the regu-
lar board proceed with the settlement
that they had initiated.
Continued opposition cannot but
work to the dctriment OF all; and
each and everyone is again urged to
be present and express themselves
on the subject We hold no hard feel
ings against anyone and wish Tor a
peaceable and harmonious meeting
that the very best settlemen, possible
NAV be had Another year with a
contcnding board will make it impos-
sible to negotiate the pending settle
ment"
