|. II. Kent Home
From Mission
Believes Good Accom-
plished; Will Make
Full Report to
Water Board

l. II. Kent who with Attorney Roy
Stoddard went to Washington in an
endeavor to gain some concession
for this project, and at the urgency
of the water board, returned TO Fal-
lon last Wednesday, Mr. Kent is firm
in the belief that considerable good
has been accomplished by the visit
standing between the reclamation bu-
reau and this project, as great deal
of discussion has been held on all OF
the subjects that are of importance
to the people of the project.
Several meetings were held with
DR.. Mead and others high in the SER
vice and the smallest details of bene-
fits have been gone into.
Mr. Kent stated that the inclina-
ton of members of the bureau was
to give all of the projects the bene-
fits that we're possible under the law
and urge additional legislation for
tightening the burdens of the people
on the projects over the union.
He is of the opinion that the peo-
pie of this project can look forward
to many promises being kept, espe-
eially the adjudication of water rights
and determinations of land holdings
and the preservation of water rights
to those of this project.
Mr.. Kent is of the belief that con.
gress will pass the appropriation bill
for Spanish Springs as it is urged
not only by the Nevada congressional
members but by reclamation officials
who are of the belief that this unit is
necessary to carry out the original
plans of the project as it was first
contemplated.
Mr.. Kent left Monday for Reno
where he is in consultation with Roy
Stoddard and they will make a join,
This report will cover not only the
personal observations of conditions
as they found them but the results oi
the visit and the benefits that have
been agreed upon. In part Mr.. Ken
stated that some of the concessions
secured could be summed up briefly
as follows:
|. We secured a statement from
the secretary of the interior securing
priority of water rights for the water
users of the project, as against appro-
priation from any supplemental stor-
age on the Truckee.
2 On the pumping expense this
summer, inasmueh as the board II
directors approved the plan. the dis
trict viii have il to pay; but they
secured postponement of S27,500 to
be carried over to 1927 with the
understanding that Senators oddie
and Pittman will introduce a bill for
relief from the whole amount.
8. They secured approval OF a
drainage contract that includes the
transfer of $27,50O from O. and NJ.
to construction, and secured the ad-
ditional sum of $3.50 from the
power revenue of 1924 to be credit
ed on the 1925 o. and NJ charges.
4 We also secured $500 of a defi-
cheney payment from the drainage on
Indian lands. and providing that in
future it will be included In the gov
ernment's o. and NJ payments on
Indian lands.
5. We arranged for the adjudicar
ton of the Carson river water rights
to be settled in a manner that Will
result in an early settlement without
excessive costs to the project

 Liberty he said, means law. If one of the planets takes it into its fool head to leave it's orbit and run amuck, it doesn't mean liberty, it means smash and conflagration.
