Notes and bounds OF the proposed
master district are to be determined
by w. K. Anderson OF San Benito,
n OF the consulting engineers to
the American section of the Inter-
national Water Commission United
States and Mexico.
The master district would be
authorized to cooperate wi in
terests representing 100000 acres
living below the mouth OF the
Devils river and above the Lower
Valley. 1t would have a board OF
seven directors and be financed BY
means of a small tax, probably a
half mill.
II IS thought to create the master
district by act Of the legislature

vote OF the people. It Is estimated
that It would REQUIRE $4,000 a wear
to operate the district and that il
VIII require about seven years ef-
fort TO complete the program out

Treaty Sought
1t is hoped to realize detectives
OF the master district through a
treaty between the United States
and Mexico guaranteeing to the
district sufficient water from the
Rio Grande and the construction
OF dams and other such works as
may be necessary to store and
otherwise conserve water.

Following the election Of II. L

the discussion out of the by-ps4he
