HEAVY VOTE POLLED
Complete Data For Proposed
Storage Project Will be
Ordered by Board of
Directors

The spirit of cooperation Is
still a dominant guiding hand in
Carson Valley as Is evidenced by
the recollection Of the old board
of directors OF the Irrigation Dis
trict, who stand plendged to work
out system Of storage irriga-
tion for the entire Carson Valley
Ii plans now under was termi-
nate as practicable and feasible.
II II can be done Carson Valley
will do ii, seems to be the voice
of the landowners at Tuesdays
election.
Despite the fact that considerable
apprehension was felt as to the out
come of the election of board Of
directors of Carson Valley Irrigation
district favorable to a storage sys'
tenn for the entire Carson Valley, the
election Tuesday dispelled all ap'
profession by the reelection of the
old board, pledged to action. The
old board was reelected by nearly
two-thirds vote and the proponents
of storage, feel gratified over the re-
suits.
The election was spirited and both
sides were unusually active in the
work of securing support from the
land owners of the district.
A substantial majority of the land
holders have indicated by their vote
that they are in favor of an adequate
storage system for Carson Valley
II does not indicate, however, that
they are ready to take the first propo-
sition that is offered. They want tc
be shown in cold figures just how
much water is going to stored, what
it will cost, what the unit will cost
as a whole and what benefits each
individual owner will receive and
what his cost will be.
1t was learned yesterday from the
board of directors that they will fle
their bonds and be sworn into office
week from Monday. Immediately
thereafter they are going to gather
additional data and figures on the
entire project First the amount OF
water that can be stored. the number
of acres that will be served and the
cost that will be apportioned to eacf
individual land-holder. After all these
facts and figures have been worked
out by the engineers, meeting VIII
be held and all available information
will be presented to them. MinoI
difficulties will be gone into thor
oughly with the one paramount issue
of bringing satisfaction to all. Then
If the project is found to feasible
the reservoir sites will be visited by
all the land-holders on a given DAY
in order that they may gain first
hand knowledge of the project. i
sufficient number of land-holders
deem the proposition a good one no.
only for themselves from an indi
vidual standpoint, but for the entire
Carson Valley, a bond election VII
be held, which must be carried by
a two-thirds vote.
II. +. Danbgerg, C. M. Henningser
and W. +. Dressler, the newly elect
ed board of directors of the Carson
Valley Irrigation district, are de-
sirious of keeping everyone posted
fully on the development of this
great enterprise. and as soon as the
engineers reports are complete, the
Record Courier will give them pub
licity in the fullest that all may ac-
ouire even the most intimate knowl-
edge of the project, and will be able
to study the situation from all sides
and from facts set down in black ane
white.
