Studies on Government reorganiza-

Board Sets 80
W alter Charge
At S. An Acre
Expect Move Will Bring
More Land Under
Irrigation

Meeting the assertion that five
dollar water would bring more land
under irrigation, directors of the
Priest Rapids irrigation district
Tuesday night set the cost of Wa
ter for the coming irrigation season
at $500 per acre.
The directors had already set
toll charge of $3.50 for the first
contract allowance Of 80 acre inches
and worded the resolution to sell
the next two contract allowances
for $3.50. Land outside the district
purchasing water will also be as
sessed proportionate share OF the
bond and interest costs.
In setting the price the directors
asserted that the only object in do
ing so was to bring in more land
under the ditch and induce new
settlers to come in. Unless the land
owners assist in this program, they
declared, they would be unable TO
maintain the price at this level.
A proposal that the district en-
ploy manager for the entire sys-
tenn was introduced by B. Salvinl
who contended that expenses in the
past had been too great and that
a manager would be able to effect
a considerable saving to the district
Fifteen or twenty landowners at
tended the meeting and aired thei
views in the lengthy discussion
which followed this proposal, which
was finally voted down. The direc.
tors voted sum of $50 per month
for the secretary's salary sum o
not to exceed $10O per year TO
clerks hire and. $35 a month TO
supervision.
The matter Of selecting employee
for the coming year was postpone
for few days while the board wen
into the matter more fully.
