/ From Philip L. Gill, to Rutter

letter has been received by Chief
/ Engineer Raw s. Carberry, of the
Irrigation District, enclosing copies
of articles which appeared in var
Fious eastern papers, including eight

small weekly papers,
The articles deal with the story of
( the irrigation district, of this con
tinent, and mention the wonderful
price secured in the recent $500,000
bond sale 1t states
"In choosing irrigation district
bonds investors should exercise dis
elimination. 1t stands to reason
that some districts are better risks
than others. To illustrate typical
features, the Imperial Irrigation
District of California may be men
toned. This is the largesh in the
world and has been uncommonly sue
cessful in it's bond financing.
'..Much of the popularity Of I'M

comes, of course, from the fact that
the agricultural development in
this region has been substantial.
Today that section, which is about
the Size Of Rhode Island, supports
three cities and several towns and
grows 500, 100000 worth of produce
annually. The soil is unusual in its
fertility and the seasons permit the
growing of crops throughout the

ATLANTA WATER RATE
SOON TO Be REDUCED
100000 Reduction in Revenue
Is Contemplated By Water
Commissioners

Atlanta, April 25.-Three schc-
dulles for water rate reduction will
be submitted to the finance com
mittee of council in a special ex-
ecutive session at II o'clock today,
it was stated Thursday by Iderman
Bachman, chairman, Alderman
Bachman and Waterworks superir-
tendent w. Zode Smith have pre-
pared the three scales from which
the committee will be asked to
make its selection.
The committee went on record
at its last meeting as intending to
cut the rate to produce 100000
less revenue than the present rate,
To do this 100000 is to be cut
from the January apportionment
sheet and 100000 more added to
the verdict side as anticipate rev
enue."
The question to be determined to
day is whether the reduction shall
be made to give principal benefits
to small consumers, to large SON
sumers, OF to both alike. The
anpunt( 100000, on a total esti-
mated Revenue of $1,6OO,O0O was
said by some members to be too
small to make any considerable diff
ference if spread out among the
100000 water consumers in the
city.
