To Meet 1922 Assess

Practically all OF the 500 Boise
project settlers delinquent in their
1922 drainage charges and this year
deprived of water have paid and are
now receiving water. according 10 an
announcement Wednesday by J. B.
Bond project manager. Local esti-
mates made earlier in the week proved
too low because OF the high percent
rge OF delinquents on upper project
lands where drainage is not an inn
mediate problem.

Gated that practically all delinquents
were being taken care OF in their ap-
plications for funds to pay 1922 drain
age charges Bankers in Caldwell re-
ported but few who could not be ac-
commodated.
Almost without exception. these
individuals were indebted to insurance
companies and could not be accom-
modated locally Fears expressed by
these settlers that they would not be
able 10 obtain funds from their COM
panies in time to meet the charges
were expressed. As result, steps
were taken by a Caldwell committee
to present the matter 10 these COM
panies rs the need arose and it is
predicted that these needs can be met
in ample time to save crops now
planted and awaiting water.
Telcgrams from various persons az
Washington indicate little chance to
obtain blanket relief on this charge
in ime to save crops. even it it were
possible at all. Doubt was expressed
that any change could be made in
the order. Upon this basis, farmers
generally were advised that the way
out was TO pay out.
