CREYBULL IRRIGATION
CASE BEING HEARD
BEFORE JUDGE BURGESS
Property Owners of Upper Greybull
Ask Day i'm Court to Be Heard
Would Withdraw from District

Attorneys for the property owners
of the Upper Greybull valley, ap-
peared before Judge Harry Burgess
in the District Court in Cody on
Tuesday. petitioning the court to
grant them an opportunity to be
heard as to the merits of their
Greybull Valley Irrigation district,
-Greybull Valley Irrigation distric,
claiming that the proposed district
will place a bonded indebtedness
upon their lands which is uncalled
for, and which if levied will amount
to almost confiscation. Attorneys
for the Irrigation district maintain
ed that these men had subscribed
their names to the formulating of
the district, and that it was I'M
reasonable and impractical to the
success of the district that they
withdraw.
Judge Burgess had been called
to sit in the case. due to the fact
that the attorneys representing the
Greybull land owners are Metz,
Sackett and Metz of Sheridan, and
almost the entire day on Tuesday
was consumed in getting the argu-
ments of both sides before the
judge. The court has taken the
matter under advisement, and a
ruling may be expected within a
few days.
Judge W. l.. Walls of Cheyenne
and Attorney C. A. Earring of Basin
represented the Irrigation District
while Paul R. Greever was resident
counsel with Metz, Sackett and Metz
of Sheridan, all the members of
this law firm being here to present
the case.
The case is of great Importance
to the land owners On the Upper
Greybull, inc had been filed by
Henry Sayles ct al claiming that
he and his associates never had been
given a legal and proper hearing
in court. They claim that the pro-
posed dam to be constructed on
the upper Greybull will be of little
ing tt be permitted to withdraw
from the district in which they
now find themselves.
The hackers of the irrigation dis
trict own lands farther down the
river. where a shortage of water
makes it paramount that a huge
storage reservoir be. built to guaran-
tee them water during the dry years.
Most of his land which is in need
of water is in Big Horn county,
and the petitioners on the upper
Greybull are asking that at least
that land located in Park county
be permitted to be withdrawn from
the district.

STATE INSURANCE
For Accident Compensation
Is Best System

Halifax, Nova Scotia. Emphatic
justification of organized labor's posi-
tion in favor of exclusive state funds
to provide insurance under work
mems compensation laws is contained
in the annual report of the Nova
Scotia workmen's compensation board.
Up to 1916 private insurance COM
panies issued the policies under the
workmen's compensation act. Since
1916 the exclusive state fund system
has been in operation.
.The advantages of a compensation
act such as we have in Nova Scotia, y
declares the report, SIS well illustrat-
ed by comparison of the rates under
such an act with the rates of private
insurance companies that were writ
ing casualty insurance prior to 1917.
"Under the old compensation act of
1910, the limit of an employers liza
bility for any one accident was 81 1,500.
Under the present act there have been
cases where the cost of single acci-
dent was over $4,000.
For the purpose of making COM
parison of the rates of private insur-
ance companies who issued policies
protecting employers under the old
act with the rates of assessment un-
der the present act a number of poll
cies were obtained from employers.
Notwithstanding that the compen-
sation payable under the present act
is several times greater than under
the old act, the boards rates in 1925
were lower in nearly every case than
the insurance companies rates in
1916, the year before the new act
came into force.
I'm many states of the United
States private insurance companies
are permitted to do business in COM
petition with state boards.
''In 1924, 63 casualty companies in
Cured losses on account of accidents
amounting to $245, 100000.
ssThe expenses of those companies
in connection with the casualty insur-
ance amounted to S216,O00,000.
