~. Mr.. Card, who attended the
meeting here. expressed the belief
that some of the land will require

on 1t Is greater than that in other
irrigation districts. The land is in
the extreme northwestern part OF
Hidalgo county. reaching 10 within
a couple Of miles OF the Brooks

would be more than $50 feet, he
said.
All of the irrigation districts in

fight on this district. Mr.. Robert
son said. The fight is being made
intensive principally due to the fact
that the petition for q permit makes
no provision for storage waters.
