Discuss Plans for
High Line Project
atSpeciaI Meeting
Refinancing Of Highlands
Included; Costs and
Plans Explained

For some time are directors of
Kennewick Irrigation District have
had under consideration the re-
funding OF the present bond issue
and the development OF the entire
Kennewick division embracing ap-
proximately $4,000 acres.
The directors decided at a recent
meeting to recommend to the wa
terusers the construction OF the
project according to the plans
adopted many years ago by the
United States Reclamation Bureau.
Before proceeding, further, however.
the Board concluded to submit the
matter to the water users for the
purpose OF explanation and discus
sion. .EH
Any effort made toward bringing
about the construction of the pro-
ject will have to be through the
United States Bureau OF Reclama-
tion. The matter has not yet pass
ed the consideration stage. No ac-
ton has yet been taken. II is felt,
however, that because OF the ap-
preaching maturity OF the bonds
and the present cost OF operation
and maintenance it is vital TO the
district that some steps be taken to
bring under cultivation the entire
area. If that were done the exist
ing bond issue would be spread
over the entire district and the cost
OF operation and maintenance. in
Guiding the annual payments for
construction costs, would be sub
stantially less than the annual as
sessments now levied. Under the
circumstances the district felt that
the time has arrived when agrees
siye action should be taken TO bring
about the construction OF the en-
tire division.
In order that the water users may
fully understand the matter and be
given an opportunity to express their
opinions, the directors Of the dis
br1ct are calling water users meet
ing to be held at the cub house ON
,he Highlands on Friday, October
%, at 8 O'Clock In the evening. At
nat time a brief statement OF the
history Of the project, a discussion .
u the plans and the method of ir-
igation. the estimated cost, and
'ther information will be presented
y the directors. The matter will be
pen for general discussion from
ny and every point of view.
