FIERY APPEAL
FOR COURT TO
AID ON BONDS
Horton Says Wolves Ask
Pound of FLESH Off
District

Characterizing "certa i II
bondholders' as "a pack of
wolves on the back of the
Imperial Irrigation District"
Harry Horton. chief district
attorney. late Monday made the
final plea for court of equity to
settle district refinancing problems.
Shortly after Horton concluded
his fiery address Judge Emmett Viii
son of Los Angeles took under ad-
viSement motion to strike the dis
trict'S request for a court of equity
from answers to bondholders' suits.
If he decides to strike that request
from the three answers, the court of
equity proposition will not be con-
sidered along with the suits for
interest payment.
Chaos will follow if bondholderS
are allowed to exact their pound
of flesh Horton charged.
Backs to Wall
I'VE have our backs to the wall.
We must have relief. If not, the
bondholders and the district will be
sunk. The court can give the re-
lief needed by giving time to work
things out
The attorney declared there are
all kinds of suits seeking all kinds
of relief filed against the district
until no one knows the status OF
the situation. He asked that all
suits be considered at one time by
the court.
IF the bondholders are permitted
to adhere to the strict letter of the
law" Horton said, 1T will COM
pletely demolish the whole situa-
ton. Interference will demoralize
the districts ability to pay as much
as it has been paying"
He begged the court not to per-
init swarm of litigants to get the
last drop of blood" from an i'm
poveriShed situation.

counsel for the district and counsel

basin filled with alluvium, part
being laid down under water the
rest being deposited as the river
flowed in various channels down
the slope of the delta into the
Salton Sink.
From the time of first historical
record until 1905 Colorado River
followed a course along the east
erly edge of the delta, close to
the Sonora mesa. This channel was
not of sufficient size to carry all
flood flows and numerous overflow
channels were formed, some of
which drained to the northwest

southWesterly edge of the delta.
The possibility of irrigating the
vast alluvial PLAIN which sloped

crest of the delta was recognized
long ago, but it was not until the
end of the last century that defin-
ite steps were undertaken.
