REDUCED INTEREST
The plan reduced average in
terest rate from 5.64 to 4.23 per
cent tor about S2l4.O00 the first
year, declining slowly as the prin-
cipal is paid Off The total saving
in interest over the 50-year period

One of the outstanding advant-
ages of the plan OF composition was
that it definitely created the ma
chinery and inaugurated funds to
carry on a progressive, continuing
drainage construction program.
Since 1899 the District has spent
over 100000 in constructing and
reconstructing more than 400 miles
of drainage canals.
The plan of composition also re-
suited in the District becoming es-

Inauguration of the second refund
ing plan On June Is, 1913, voters
of the District by an overwhelming
majority OF more than nine to one,
authorized the District to incur a
bonded indebtedness in the princi-
pal amount of COO for the
purpose of refunding outstanding
bonds of the District, not exceeding
a like principal amount Of Sl3,8l5.-
900. in accordance with the refund
ing plan approved by the California
Securities Commission by its order
No. 70, dated May 13, 1943.
The second refunding plan pro-
vided for the refunding of S13,815,-
900 in bonds and S738000 IN war
rants at interest rates of 3ia, 81
and q. per cent, in lieu of the
former rates of Az, As, 3A and 54
per cent This effected a saving
of more than S3,500,000 in interest
The plan also gave the bondholders
and the District, the additional Sc
curity of lower annual debt serv-
ice, as the minimum debt service
OF the new bonds and warrants
will be s650,000, compared to $725,-

which involved the question of re-
funding or refinancing the organi-
zations indebtedness. This envi-
able status of the District was re-
vealed in a telegram received this
week by Chief Counsel Harry w.
Horton from Charles Elmore Crop
ley, clerk of the Supreme Court of
the United States, which started
Petition for Certiorari Wells Fargo
against Imperial Irrigation District
denied today"
Wells Fargo represents some Of
the minority bond holders OF the
District who refused to surrender
their bonds in accordance with the
Districts Refunding Plans which
provided for the refinancing
of all of its General Obligation
Bonds. amounting TO Sl4, ,25O, 900,
plus 1884, 900 in outstanding War
rants.
In explanation, writ of certiorari
is writ issued by higher court to
bring up the record of a lower
court for review.
REMAINS FACTOR
Minority bondholders of the Dis
ttict opposed to the organizations
plans for refinancing its debt OBJ
legations. have consistently fought
the Districts program by appealing
decisions of the lower courts to the
higher courts. The recent decision
of the United States Supreme Court
leaves these bondholders with no
other alternative than to accede to
the Districts program, already ap-
proved by 80 per cent of the bond
holders, representing the majority.
The financial Solvency of the Dis
trict, which now bears the stamp
of approval o. the Supreme Court
of the United States. resulted from
a we'll planned program, chief high
lights of which can be summarized
as follows:
The refunding plan of 1882; the
plan of composition of 1899, and
the second refunding plan of 1343.
The refurding plan of 1882 pro-
vided for payment in 1893 of 80 per
cent interest and no principal of
the Districts general obligation
bonds and warrants; payment of
40 per cent interest and no prin-
cipal in 1884; payment of so per
cent interest and no principal in
1895; payment of 30 per cent inter-
est and no principal in 1896; pay
ment o: 100 per cent interest and
no rincipal in 1887 Savings in in
tereSt to the District accruing from
this plan amounted to approx
mately Sl,500,000.
SECOND STEP
The second step III the District S
program of rehabilitation was the
plan of composition. Under this
plan, which involved refunding an
Indebtedness of 1929 900, the
amount that District taxpayers
might be forced to pay for bond
and warrant Indebtedness, was
limited. This provided protection
of great value TO landowners and
investors of the District as it guar
anteed them against confiscatory
taxes which had been ordered by
court order and would have been
forced by holders of District bonds.
During the years the refunding plan
was being worked out. it saved I'm
perial Valley from bankruptcy and
was also instrumental in prevent
ing tax levieS of from $500 TO $1,000
during the period of litigation.
The plan of composition also re-
rluced the annual interest and sink

and there has been no drop in 1914.
On this basis, CAA figures that
every community of 1000 or more
will need to be readily accessible to
an airport. But don't figure that
city of 100000, for example, will
need 500 airports. CAA reasons
that since there are $500 towns in
the United States of more than
1000 population, there will be about
5000 airportS. Tina means an aver
age of one flying field at least to
every $4,000 persons, but many
towns of $4,000 or less will have
two and some larger than that will
have only one, depending on 10
cality, metropolitan area" and
local flying conditions.
This, as CAA readily admits, is
an effort at conservative CESS,
but when you realize that 1850 is
only six years away, it seems ade-
quate reason for trotting out paper
and pencil and doing little post
war speculation.
