PUTS VALUE ON
SALMON RIGHTS
Judge Dietrich Decides settler Must
Pay 10 Per Cent Of Original
Price.

TWIN FALLS-Salmon River ir.
rigation project original water
rights. thousands Of which were sold
Ia 1905 under contract for $40 each,
are worth rs per cent OF the original
price. or $50. 40 each. plus interest
at per cent from the date OF the
last installment payment. IL has been
decided by Judge r. s. Dietrich in
federal district court at Boise in the
case OF the Commonwealth Trust
company against Richard Glayin.
Salient features OF the decision were
communicated Monday BY telephone
to representatives OF the Salmon
River Canal company and to Attor-
ney John w. Graham. counsel for
the defendant.
In this case. which has been in
court for some years. the Common
wealth company. as trustee for the
project bondholders. instituted fore
closure action against Glavin, a set
tier, claiming principal and interest
due In the amount OF approximately
s65 per share. Glavin sought can
collation. OF the entire interest
charge. The court. fixing the value
OF the water right at 5000, added
interest unpaid since 1912, to bring
the total OF the award to the Com
company up TO $500. |
The decision. II Is understood. does
not take into consideration the SO |
per share that figures In the trans
action as the initial payment on each
share.
The amount OF the award is some
what greater than the amount paid
BY approximately So per cent OF the
projects settlers under provisions OF
| settlement plan worked out some
.wo years ago. Under the settle
nent plan, settlers paid for their
water rights s45 less the SO initial
payment.
