value as the report puts IL. This Il
the part OF the report that needs
special consideration.
TO say that the present value OF
the system is 81 1859. 59I would be 10
presume that the system is in good
condition and could be and would
be continued to be used i'm its pres
ent condition. But this weRll know
is not true. To continue to use the
system IN its present condition is 10
invite failure upon failure. Unless
the rapidly increasing seepaRe con-
dition Of this system Is speedily cor
rected. the business people as well
as the farmers will face an ex-
tremely dark future.
Must Be Rebuilt
1T must be assumed then that
the present system will be recon-
structed into a modern irrigation
system. II the American company
keeps 1t. this must be done: If tnev

sell 1t TO the farmers. this must &c
done. IL matters not WHO owns
and operates the system. the ssep-
age must be stopped.
Another thing We want "a re-
member Is that the cost ar this re-
construction should be practically
the same. no matter who does III
We must remember also that this
system should be worth as much to
one concern as TO another. since IL
must be used for the same purposes
IN Whatever hands it may be. There

no less or no more to the farmers

one will say that at the present time
the company is receiving revenue
on Q larger amount than what the
system Is worth for reconstruction
purposes. That Is likely true. but it
IS being done at the expense OF the
land owners through the loss OF
their lands by seepaEe. and the Ill
innate outcome or such operation IL

Therefore, We are forced back 10.

system into a modern irrigation sys-
tenn. capable OF delivering all the
