3y a Btroke of a pen this afternoon
at 4 o'clock, the Meadowbrook Ir
rigation company secured control of
the Ayers land in the reservoir ba
sin. Mr. Ayers has come to an ami
cable settlement with the directois
and the contract which was feared
would be grounds for months of liti
gation, is now in the hands of the
directors properly signed.
The directors pay $2500 for 175
acres of land, and thereby either
control or can control without use
of courts, all land necessary to build
the reservoir. It has hastened the ap-
proach of the dam itself a period 01
months and maybe a year. .
Mr. Ayers reached the city from
Starkey this afternoon and It was
short work for the parties interested
to come to an agreement. He is the
last of the doubtful owners, and
much credit is due the directors for
their ability to settle out of court,
and to Mr. Ayers who would not
stand in the way of speedy construc
tion of the dam by holding out for
an abnormal price for his land.
