The data on which the statement
IS based, covers the period from
August Of 1885 to the present and
is a continuation of a study madc
for the first half of 1885
The previous study showed that
the assessed valuation VAS 80 per
cent of the sales value.
Practically all sales made in the
valley in which considerations could
be arrived at, are included i'll the
study. Information brought out by
the report shows that there is less
sales activity in this period than

made by outside individuals.

District bonds and warrants will
be affected, officials announced
Thursday,
Photostatic copies of the decision
arrived IN Ell Centro from Wash
ington, D. C. Thursday morning.
Harry Horton, district chief
counsel, said the decision in his
own opinion is point blank de-
termination that Congress lacks
the power to authorize, through
the bankruptcy act, proceedings by
state agencies as arc covered IN
section 80 of the act. 1t was under
this section that refinancing was
carried forward by irrigation and
drainage districts and municipal
tics throughout the west.
The district will have to take
such steps as found necessary to
protect the whole situation, Hor-
ton said, which may lead to pro-
grcss in less orderly manner.
The attorney also advanced the
opinion that the bondholderS who
would not come under the district
rcfinancing plan, would find
themselves in a diSadvantageouS
position instead OF a favorable one
as they undoubtedly would suffer
as a result of the confusion and
unsettled conditions following the
declaration of the supreme court.
The bondholders who accepted
the new bonds and new certific-
ates on the district warrants. he
pointed out, probably would be in
an advantageous position.
