DECISION PLEASES


The people of our project ar
feeling considerably relieved an
in many hearts there is much re
joicing over the recent favorabl
decision of the Court on the ssMax
imum Benefit Case" The decisio
is of great Importance to ever,
landholder on the project, as wei
as of interest to every irrigation
project in the state. Now ever.
land owner feels he has somethin,
worth while to work for, and tina
when he has paid off the tota
amout against his own place, HI
is throukh with paying anything
more, and is not held liable fol
his neighbours delinqHencies. For
merIy there was something sim
liar to blanket mortgage ON the
whole project. Now everyone is
upon an Individual responsibility
and not liable for lands that have
gone back to the district. In the
recent decision the bond holders
are protected, which is another
good feature of the decision. In
terest is to be paid on all bonds,
but the delinquent lands will be-
come the property of the bond
holders, and the district relieved
of their responsibility.
The case now goes to the SUI
preme Court, and a favorable de-
cision is confidently expected from
that body.
