DISTRICT PLANS
MORE WATER FOR
MULLET ISLAND

The Imperial Irrigation District
board late Tuesday authorized Chief
Engineer Ray S. Carberry to ex-
tend lateral "Q' in the north end
to the east line of section 10 near
the Salton Sea. The purpose is to
grant in measure request of
Captain Charles Davis for more wa
ter for Mullet Island and his gov
ernment claim there. For some
months the captain and the district
havJ been having litigation and
also arguments Of oral nature over
the situation.
A year ago Captain Davis secur-
ed a temporary injunction against
the district restraining it from
sending water on his land. The dis
trict, in compliance with the order
built series of side laterals and
turned the water south and around
his place. Since then he can only
get water which he orders in the
regular way and says that even
that is unsatisfactory and wants
the lateral extended. The district
has made the order as above.
